Back when Ling Changqing participated in the Dragon Soul Valley trial, only the women from the Liuying Family and the Yu Family had managed to obtain a keepsake from him.

Liu Ying Meng Luan and the others had him write a marriage contract, while Yu Yalan and Yu Youqin exchanged personal items with him.

Originally, Mu Yunxiu of the Mu Family and Tang Wanying of the Tang Family had planned to do the same, but Yu Yalan and Yu Youqin were too guarded and didn’t let them succeed. They couldn’t even exchange a few words with Ling Changqing.

After Ling Changqing disappeared, the higher-ups of the Yu Family had considered using the Secret Method of Celestial Secret Calculation, but considering the special nature of a Child of Destiny, they ultimately decided against it.

They might have invested a massive amount of resources only to end up with nothing, and the Yu Family’s leadership would never consider such a losing proposition.

Yu Ruoshuang’s delicate brows knitted together. She gently picked up the Jade Pendant before her, examining it for a moment before nodding and saying:

"This is indeed a personal item belonging to the Child of Destiny. He is an anomaly in the River of Time. Under normal circumstances, no Secret Method of Celestial Secret Calculation could possibly divine any secrets about him."

"Huh? Not even you can divine it, Auntie?"

Obvious disappointment appeared in Yu Youqin’s large, bright eyes.

Yu Ruoshuang glanced at her, somewhat amused, and said in a soft voice:

"Never mind me as I am now. Even if my Cultivation were to increase by two or three Great Realms, even with the aid of an Ancient Spirit Treasure Level heavy artifact, it would be impossible to directly divine the Child of Destiny’s whereabouts..."

A Child of Destiny is a special existence born from fluctuations in the Celestial Dao Laws and a convergence of fate. One could say they have leaped beyond the three realms and do not reside within the Five Elements.

The trajectory of such a person’s fate is completely different from that of any other intelligent being. It’s impossible to fathom with common sense, let alone predict through divination.

Perhaps only a true Immortal from the legends could break the shackles of these Celestial Dao Laws and turn the impossible into the possible.

Of course, this would only be possible before the Child of Destiny has fully matured. If he already possessed the power of the Divinity Transformation Realm, or even higher, then no method would be effective.

"...It seems my sister and I are fated to have no connection with the Child of Destiny in this life."

Yu Yalan was silent for a long time before she let out a quiet sigh.

’If I had known this would be the result, it would have been better if we had never met Ling Changqing in the first place.’

"Don’t be so quick to be disappointed. I’m not finished yet!"

Yu Ruoshuang gently caressed the Jade Pendant, a wise light shining in her beautiful eyes. "It’s true that we can’t divine anything about the Child of Destiny himself, but we can consider approaching this from another angle!"

"What do you mean?"

Yu Yalan’s expression lifted, her eyes filled with inquiry.

"We can’t track the movements of the Child of Destiny himself, but wherever he has stayed, he is bound to have left some traces."

Yu Ruoshuang said slowly, "So we should take a different approach and start from there."

The implication was that as long as Ling Changqing wasn’t living in complete seclusion and was still active in the Cultivation Realm, he would definitely leave some clues behind.

"You mentioned earlier that the Child of Destiny is still very young, his seven emotions and six desires are quite strong, and so he is very keen on beautiful women. This should be our opportunity..."

Yu Ruoshuang analyzed unhurriedly.

"But,"

Yu Yalan’s pretty face flushed slightly as she said in a low voice, "the clan Elders originally thought so too, as did the higher-ups of the other great powers. That’s why they all arranged for their most outstanding female disciples to carry out this important mission.

However, there haven’t been any apparent results so far, so some of the powers are already showing signs of giving up."

"Don’t believe that,"

Yu Ruoshuang shook her head. "They would die before they give up. They’ve just shifted from operating in the open to searching in secret!"

"So, Auntie, you mean..."

Yu Yalan blinked her beautiful eyes, a glimmer of hope rising in her heart again.

’Of course, she hoped that her resourceful aunt could think of a way to break the deadlock, saving her from her own helplessness.’

"Everything in heaven and earth has its own Destiny,"

Yu Ruoshuang analyzed leisurely:

"If the scattered records in the ancient tomes and secret scrolls are correct, the greatest value of a Child of Destiny is that whomever they choose to be close to will have the trajectory of their fate undergo a complete transformation..."

For example, a Loose Cultivator with mediocre aptitude who would normally never surpass the Qi Cultivation Stage in their lifetime might, if favored by the Child of Destiny, be able to advance further and succeed in Foundation Establishment, or even have a chance to reach the Core Formation Realm.

This is especially true for any Female Cultivator who becomes intimate with the Child of Destiny. As long as she can stay by his side, her future achievements are expected to be even greater.

Another benefit is that when a Cultivator is out traveling and seeking fortuitous encounters, having the Child of Destiny with them basically allows them to turn misfortune into good fortune and more easily obtain all sorts of opportunities and treasures.

In other words, the Child of Destiny is a creator of strategic advantage.

If they were to favor a particular power, then in a number of years, that power would inevitably be teeming with experts as numerous as the clouds, brimming with emerging geniuses, and its Destiny would soar, making all its endeavors smooth. Its growth into a higher-tier great power would be just around the corner.

"...If my estimations are correct, the bloodline descendants of a Child of Destiny should all be one-in-ten-thousand geniuses. It wouldn’t be rare for them to possess Earth Grade or even Celestial Grade Spirit Roots, and their future achievements would be immeasurably high.

Therefore, you should change the focus of your search. Start with the young and beautiful Female Cultivators.

Any beautiful Female Cultivator who originally had average aptitude but whose Cultivation has advanced with unusual speed should be considered a person of interest."
