Fortune telling? How do you explain your hand-drawn lightning magic and sword flight?

Chen Xuan's trip was incredibly lucrative; he spent a whopping 279 million just on buying spirit jade and gemstones.

Unexpectedly, as they walked back, they felt a strong sense of cause and effect intertwined in the darkness.

"It seems the destruction of the Immortal Path last night has caught the attention of the higher-ups in Longxia. Are they trying to find an expert to deduce my identity?"

"However, you two should have both failed. Only the later divination was quite powerful, but it could only vaguely calculate my basic information."

Chen Xuan walked towards the market entrance with a smile on his face.

On a whim, he twitched his fingers slightly, using the sudden cause and effect to deduce the reasoning in reverse.

Chen Xuan wanted to know who the second expert was, and he almost succeeded.

Chen Xuan frowned slightly as he pinched his fingers a few times. "This person is not simple. I don't know his name or information, but I can tell from his words that he is very resistant."

"However, my calculations have reached their pinnacle. If they won't let me see, then I'll insist on seeing."

Chen Xuan's gaze changed, and he unleashed an aura to forcefully deduce the truth.

When I saw the result, I couldn't help but laugh.

"So that's what happened. It's the old Celestial Master from the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain?"

"Zhang Zhiwei, age 74, late-stage Nascent Soul realm, 104 years of cultivation, mobile phone number 158xxxxx"

After Chen Xuan forcibly deduced the basic information about the old Celestial Master, he was secretly surprised.

No wonder his identity was almost exposed; it turns out that the old Celestial Master is not only a Nascent Soul stage expert but also has 104 years of cultivation.

"Impressive! No wonder you're worthy of being called the Celestial Master!"

Chen Xuan murmured.

He knew that the other party must have noticed his reverse deduction of the Old Master's identity information.

Instead of doing that, it's better to get straight to the point.

So he took out his phone, typed in an unfamiliar number, and dialed it directly.

"Which one?"

The old master's voice was very deep, because just now, the intense entanglement of cause and effect surprised him. Without even needing to calculate, he knew that the other party must have deduced him in reverse.

But to his utter surprise, the other party not only deduced his identity but also his phone number and called him directly.

Is this a declaration of war?

"Who am I?" Chen Xuan asked in a similarly low voice.

When conversing with someone of the same level, especially on the first time, you must maintain a high-class demeanor. "With your 104 years of experience, you probably figured it out yourself, right?"

Unexpectedly, the old master was so magnanimous.

"No, I didn't deduce it. You're amazing, you're incredible. You were able to reverse-engineer my cultivation level and even my phone number."

Chen Xuan was greatly surprised.

In his mind, old men in their seventies were extremely concerned about their reputation, but he never expected that the old master would directly admit that his divination was inferior to his own.

This stirred something within Chen Xuan.

He is revered as the Old Celestial Master, and he was so open-minded during our first meeting. If I were to pretend otherwise, I would seem inferior.

"You are too modest. I have only achieved some success in divination. In terms of strength, I am probably no match for the old master."

If you're going to put on airs, I'll have to put on airs even more. If you're polite and easygoing, then I'll be even more easygoing than you.

This is Chen Xuan's way of life.

If someone treats me with respect, I will repay them tenfold.

"My divination skills are already superb. What? Could you possibly have cultivated divination to the highest level?"

Hearing Chen Xuan's tone soften, Zhang Zhiwei stopped pretending and directly asked the question that had been bothering him. Although he said he couldn't deduce anything, that wasn't actually the case. In fact, he had initially deduced Chen Xuan's age, but that was all.

At eighteen, to put it bluntly, he's barely grown up yet. How could he possess such a profound level of divination?

"No, you're joking, Master. I haven't reached the Transcendent Realm yet; I'm only at the Peak Realm," Chen Xuan replied directly, not trying to deceive him.

"Well, it's true that the younger generation surpasses the older. At such a young age, your divination skills are already a level above this old man's. You can't argue with that, can you?"

After saying this, the old Celestial Master solemnly announced, "Zhang Zhiwei, Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain, will temporarily assume the position of Celestial Master."

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Chen Xuan, the temporary abbot of the Feixian Temple on Tangwu Mountain."

"Hahaha...Good lad, you became the abbot at the age of eighteen."

"The old Celestial Master is still vigorous despite his advanced age; I believe his ascension to immortality is just around the corner."

After introducing themselves, the two burst into laughter.

After a brief conversation, the two realized they were compatible.

Subsequently.

Once they started talking, neither of them could stop.

Although Chen Xuan's cultivation level was far inferior to that of the old Celestial Master in the late Nascent Soul stage, his cultivation level was sufficient to allow him to discuss the Dao with the old Celestial Master.

While the old Celestial Master possessed divine strength, his understanding of the realm was not as profound as Chen Xuan's.

After all, Chen Xuan possessed the "Six Volumes of Earthly Immortals" as a reward from the system, which was a technique that directly led to becoming a terrestrial immortal. Therefore, even though Chen Xuan's cultivation level was insufficient, he could still greatly benefit Zhang Zhiwei through their conversation.

Chen Xuan was also curious about the situation in Longxia and even the international Daoist community.

The two exchanged information, each getting what they needed, and showed no intention of ending the call.

In reality, Chen Xuan's solitary cultivation was quite lonely, since there was no one around him with whom he could truly discuss the Dao.

The two had a very pleasant and engaging conversation.

So Chen Xuan decided not to fly back to Feixian Temple on his sword, but instead walked back step by step.

Time flies, and before we know it, a lot of time has passed.

"Alas, to be honest, I was not being modest when I said I was only temporarily assuming the position of Celestial Master."

After an hour or two of conversation, even without saying anything, they considered each other close friends. Zhang Zhiwei then revealed some secrets about the Taoist sects within Longxia to Chen Xuan.

"Oh? What's wrong?" Chen Xuan replied with a smile as he walked back.

"Actually, our Daoist sect's highest lineage has suffered a break in recent times, which is why the three of us old guys are stuck at this level and unable to break through..."

Zhang Zhiwei said, "My master witnessed that catastrophe with his own eyes. He could not let go of it until his death. He said that no one in the Celestial Masters Sect or even the entire Longxia Taoist sect could break through to the late Nascent Soul stage and reach the Divine Transformation stage."

Chen Xuan was slightly shocked, not expecting that the Taoist tradition had also been interrupted in this parallel universe.

"Such a thing is true?" Chen Xuan was astonished.

"Young friend, this matter is known only to you, me, and two other old fellows. We must not let a fifth person know, otherwise it will severely damage the development of the Daoist sect."

“I know,” Chen Xuan sighed. “Only those who have reached that level realize that there is no hope of breaking through. In fact, out of thousands of disciples in the Daoist sects, how many can truly reach the late Nascent Soul stage?”

The old master sighed deeply, "Doing this is truly letting down my personally taught disciple."

Chen Xuan also fell silent for a moment, "Is there really no way to retrieve the lost lineage?"

"Yes, but some of those traditions have flowed abroad and are collected by major European museums. Even though the country has intervened, it has only brought back some altered information about the traditions. Sigh."

"They're courting death." Chen Xuan frowned and asked the question that had been bothering him. "Given your cultivation level, Elder Celestial Master, it shouldn't be difficult for you to leave your body, cross the Pacific Ocean to reach the other side of Europe, and find the lost inheritance. Why is that?"

"If it were really that easy, I would have gone long ago. Unfortunately, there are also experts in the West, and they have integrated the Dragon Xia heritage, producing a large number of experts in less than a hundred years."

Zhang Zhiwei said in a low voice, "At my suggestion, Zhong Yunlong, Zhang Zhishun of Wandao Longmen, and I went to the European continent together."

“We found a lost heritage site through divination. But when we broke in, we were attacked. If we hadn’t been fully prepared, we probably wouldn’t have made it back.”

"Is there such a thing?"

Chen Xuan was greatly shocked. He never imagined that the Western European Church in this parallel universe was so powerful that it seemed to be suppressing the Taoist sects in the Dragon Kingdom.

"This is getting more and more interesting!"
