Chapter 1975: Divination

Chapter 1975: Chapter 20: Divination

The wind howled, rain poured, and lightning roared.

The sky was dark as night despite it being daytime.

The rolling dark clouds were nerve-shattering.

Lin Feng stood on the deck.

At this moment.

The ship’s prohibition was activated, so there was no worry about getting drenched by the rain.

“It seems I must perform a divination!”

Master Yixiu said.

Lin Feng couldn’t help but say, “Aren’t you a monk? You can actually divine?”

Master Yixiu joined his hands in prayer and said, “The Buddha said ‘live and learn!'”

Lin Feng was overwhelmed, did the Buddha really say that?

This Master Yixiu was quite a character.

Master Yixiu took out three pieces of tortoise shell and a Jade Tube, placing the shells inside the tube.

Lin Feng exclaimed, “This is the divination skill of the Postnatal Sixty-four Trigrams?”

Master Yixiu remarked in surprise, “Oh, Mr. Lin also knows this divination skill?”

Within the Cultivator World, the most prevalent is the Innate Eight Trigrams Skill, now various sects, mainly the Taoist, have mostly derived their divination skills from the Innate Eight Trigrams.

Actually, the Heavenly Master Dao also has extremely advanced divination skill in their inheritance, but the inheritance Lin Feng received from the Heavenly Master Dao is just a small part.

So.

He never managed to learn the divination skill, but he had some understanding of various divination skills.

Among many divination techniques, the truly powerful one is the Postnatal Sixty-four Trigrams.

“Gua Emperor Ji Fa” in former years based on the Innate Eight Trigrams, transformed them into the Postnatal Sixty-four Trigrams, it can be said without reservation.

Ji Fa transforming the Innate Eight Trigrams into the Postnatal Sixty-four Trigrams practically pioneered a new era.

But Ji Fa died very early, so his Postnatal Sixty-four Trigrams were never widely spread; those who understand them are extremely rare.

As time passes, nowadays cultivators who understand the Postnatal Sixty-four Trigrams are nearly impossible to find across All Heavens.

And Master Yixiu is indeed learned and knowledgeable, surprisingly understanding the divination skill recorded in the Postnatal Sixty-four Trigrams.

Lin Feng said, “I have heard of the Postnatal Sixty-four Trigrams, and have seen some descriptions!”

“This is an ancient skill, which I acquired by chance, but over many years of cogitation, I have only grasped its rudiments, Ji Fa the Great Emperor’s Postnatal Sixty-four Trigrams are too enigmatic and elusive!”

Master Yixiu said.

Lin Feng then said, “Even merely grasping its rudiments must be infinitely mysterious and profound.”

Master Yixiu smiled slightly and said no more.

He began the divination.

With both hands holding the Jade Tube, he shook it while muttering various spells.

The spells were very ancient and mysterious, Lin Feng could not understand what they were.

Seeing Master Yixiu divining here, many people gathered around.

Rustle…

Suddenly.

Master Yixiu scattered the tortoise shells from the Jade Tube.

He glanced at the three pieces of tortoise shell, his face became pale, and he fell to the ground.

“What happened? Was the divination bad?” Lin Feng asked sternly.

“I miscalculated, must have miscalculated, let me divine again!”

Master Yixiu gritted his teeth and took out two more tortoise shells.

Using tortoise shells for divination has its intricacies; the more shells used, the more accurate the divination.

But it does not mean you can use as many as you want.

If your cultivation is inadequate, if you forcibly add more tortoise shells to derive divination, you’ll suffer severe backlash.

You might even go astray and become possessed, losing your life and spiritual essence.

Normally, Master Yixiu can use three tortoise shells for divination without harming his body.

But today, the divination derived with three tortoise shells seemed inaccurate to him.

Lin Feng guessed this divination was certainly not favorable, so Master Yixiu added two more tortoise shells, which was his limit.

Master Yixiu put five tortoise shells into the Jade Tube, then with both hands began to shake the tube while muttering spells.

“A monk divining? Is it reliable?”

Someone muttered, seemingly not trusting Master Yixiu’s divination skill.

Whether others believed it or not, Lin Feng trusted Master Yixiu quite a bit.

“Cough!”

Using five tortoise shells in divination, Master Yixiu indeed suffered backlash, involuntarily spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face turning pale.

“Stop it!”

Lin Feng said sternly.

He and Master Yixiu felt quite connected, though they’d known each other briefly, they could be considered good friends, so Lin Feng didn’t wish to see Master Yixiu suffer severe harm from divination.

Moreover.

There were some people around speaking sarcastically.

This made Lin Feng very displeased.

“It’s okay!”

Master Yixiu said, not intending to give up, uttered another spell, and spit out two more mouthfuls of blood.

He finally completed this divination.

Rustle…

Five tortoise shells fell from the Jade Tube onto the ground, scattered all around.

Among the crowd, there were people who somewhat understood divination skills; seeing the shells so scattered, their face immediately changed.

“So scattered divination indicates bad fortune!” That cultivator said sternly.

Lin Feng also had some understanding of divination skills.

The more scattered the divination, the more unfortunate it is.

“Master, what does the divination say?”

Someone asked.

“Dark clouds cover the sun, darkness descends, heavens and earth reverse, dead spirits reappear!”

…

Master Yixiu said sixteen words.

“Master, what does this mean? Can you explain better?”

Many didn’t understand.

“It means… everyone should fend for themselves!”

Master Yixiu said with a wry smile.

“Oh come on, what’s with the attitude?”

“Can you say something more pleasant?”

“I said earlier, can monks’ divination be reliable?”

Many coldly eyed him.

Lin Feng had anticipated this situation early on.

Everyone wants to hear good words.

So many times, speaking the truth easily offends.

Thus, what Master Yixiu did was laborious and thankless.

“Get lost!”

Lin Feng looked coldly at those cultivators.

“Damn, who do you think you are? Looking for trouble?”

Many people gave Lin Feng cold glares.

“Teach them a lesson!” Lin Feng said coldly.

Wanyan Yang stepped forward, emanating a powerful aura.

Many felt the dreadful aura from Wanyan Yang and turned pale, not daring to continue, hastily backing off.

While Lin Feng stood aside guarding Master Yixiu.

He suffered backlash and was adjusting his body; timely treatment was necessary, otherwise, it would cause serious harm.

Rumble!

Suddenly.

The ship started shaking violently.

“What happened?”

Many people’s faces changed, and not a few cultivators in the cabins rushed out.

Bang.

The next moment, the ship shook again.

Underwater, something seemed to be crashing against the ship.
