I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 949 - 354: Unpredictable Fate! Empress’ Current Offender!
"How is this possible..."
Qi Chengze looked at Chen Mo with eyes full of disbelief.
He initially thought the other party was just pretending to understand in front of the Princess, not wanting to lose face...
Unexpectedly, this guy really understood!
Being able to tell how many pancakes were sold is not remarkable; you don’t need divination for that. With a bit of observational skill, most can make a close guess.
But Chen Mo not only got the numbers right, he even figured out which customers they were, and he predicted the future developments with pinpoint accuracy!
This can only mean one thing: he really can glimpse cause and effect!
"How did you do it?" Qi Chengze’s voice was dry.
"I observed it." Chen Mo pointed at the vendor and elaborated confidently, "This person’s aura is clear and strong, his earlobes are red, indicating recent good luck. The aura above his head entangles with those three people, making it easy to identify the buyers. By further observing facial expressions and situational clues, I deduced the possible future events..."
"..."
Qi Chengze fell into silence.
He could understand everything Chen Mo said naturally.
As a secret scripture of divination, "True Interpretation of the World" explores every detail and is profoundly mysterious. It emphasizes "features as shape, situations as fortune, trigrams as opportunities; the three methods combined can glimpse the will of heaven."
Simply put, it can be divided into three realms: Observing People, Inspecting the Earth, and Peeking at the Heavens.
What Chen Mo demonstrated was the ability of the "Observing People Realm."
Since the target was ordinary people without cultivation, with a timeframe of just a quarter of an hour, the difficulty wasn’t actually high. Once one reaches the introductory level of divination, they can generally achieve this.
But the problem is...
This man has only had the cultivation technique for five or six days!
Back then, Qi Chengze was called a once-in-five-hundred-year divination genius, and even then, with a master’s guidance, it took him two full months to get started!
The gap is as wide as the sky and the mud!
In the field he prided himself on, he was no match for a newcomer, leaving him slightly embarrassed.
"You’ve gotten everything right; who would’ve thought you have quite a talent in divination?" Chu Yanli’s expression was a bit surprised, then turned to ask, "Old man, how does Chen Mo’s level compare to yours in your youth?"
"... Uh, about the same." Qi Chengze replied awkwardly.
"How dare I compare myself to Lord Qi?" Chen Mo noticed, maintaining a humble attitude, "It was sheer luck to have listened to the Tianshu Pavilion Daoist Venerable’s teachings, gaining a simplistic understanding of cause and effect, which made studying this ’True Interpretation of the World’ feel like achieving twice the result with half the effort..."
"I see." Qi Chengze suddenly understood.
So the Daoist Venerable gave him special tutoring?
As one of the most top-ranked Ultimate Venerables, the Daoist Venerable’s comprehension of the laws of cause and effect is unmatched across Jiu Zhou.
Having received the orthodox Mystic Sect teachings along with these Daoist arts, it’s akin to a one-sided battle; reaching this level is not surprising.
Thinking of this made Qi Chengze feel much better, nodding, "Even so, Mr. Chen is exceptionally talented... By the way, before you mentioned encountering problems during cultivation, what specifically do you mean?"
Chen Mo replied, "I am preparing to go to the Southern Border to eradicate the Gu God Sect and wanted to calculate the fortune of this expedition, but each time I get completely different results..."
This was true; he had tried several times, yet the hexagrams were ambiguous, as if shrouded by a layer of impenetrable fog.
"You’re going to the Southern Border?" Chu Yanli was slightly stunned.
"That’s right, it’s an order from above." Chen Mo nodded.
"When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow morning."
"In such a hurry?"
Chu Yanli furrowed her brows.
Qi Chengze stroked his beard, pondering, "The Southern Border is too far from the Capital City, and there are so many variables involved. It’s normal not to see through it with just the ’Observing People Realm’... Let’s leave it at that. I’ll take a look for you instead."
With that, the center of his forehead split open, and a silvery radiance unfolded, enveloping Chen Mo.
However, after a full half a moment, Qi Chengze was still uncertain, his expression growing even more puzzled.
"Mr. Chen, who will accompany you on this journey?"
"Besides Ye Zi’e of the Water Department Thousand Households, maybe just a few accompanying Assistant Officers."
"Strange..."
Qi Chengze continued calculating with his fingers, murmuring, "Why can’t I see clearly either, as if the Heavenly Secret is obscured... But Mr. Chen can rest assured, I didn’t sense any danger; rather, I felt a hint of the Peach Blossom Tribulation?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Peach Blossom Tribulation?
Chen Mo’s heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Ye Zi’e still harbors ulterior motives and plans to drug him again?
Looks like I should be cautious on the road...
Qi Chengze, probably feeling a bit embarrassed, wanted to restore his face, saying, "Perhaps Mr. Chen should pick something else, be it career or romance, the more specific the better. I’ll demonstrate properly for you."
Before Chen Mo could speak, Chu Yanli suddenly interjected, "Then let’s predict romance; how many wives will Chen Mo have in the future?"
Chen Mo: ?
"Alright, just watch."
Qi Chengze immediately understood the Princess’s intention, rolled up his sleeves, took out a handful of ancient bronze coins from his chest, tossed them into the air, and the coins hovered suspended.
Then he took out a tortoiseshell, upon which twisted runes appeared under the silvery light.
"Mr. Chen, please place your hand on this tortoiseshell," said Qi Chengze.
"This..."
For a moment, Chen Mo hesitated.
All the women around him had very special identities; what if something was really seen through?
However, without giving him a chance to refuse, Qi Chengze directly grabbed his hand and placed it on the shell.
Buzz——
The moment his palm touched the tortoiseshell, it began vibrating intensely.
The runes on it lit up in sequence, resonating with the bronze coins in the air, forming colorful lines that crisscrossed like an intricate web.
