Chapter 79: Chapter 73: Old Man, I told you, you shouldn’t have messed with me_1
"A god-like man?"
"Is he really that handsome?"
The old Taoist paused as he heard Chen Chang’an’s words, and asked in astonishment.
Then, without waiting for Chen Chang’an’s reply, he shook his head and laughed, saying:
"Forget it, this has nothing to do with me."
"Whether they fight or not is their business, as long as it doesn’t affect me."
With that, the old Taoist drained his cup of tea and said:
"Young man, thank you for the tea today."
"If free, I will invite you to taste my own tea another day."
Saying so, the old Taoist stood up to leave.
"I would be honored." Chen Chang’an folded his hands.
"By the way, what is your name, old man?"
Immediately afterwards, Chen Chang’an casually asked.
"Seeing that it’s you, you can call me Bai Baxian (White Half-Immortal)."
The old Taoist slapped the dust off his sleeves as he spoke.
Huh.
Bai Baxian?
Upon hearing this name, Chen Chang’an’s mouth twitched.
He had heard of this man.
The only man who dared to defy Tianji Pavilion and still live a vibrant life.
This old man’s ability to predict destiny is also an extreme case.
He can’t calculate any major future events accurately.
But when it comes to minor future events, he is often very accurate.
Most of these minor issues end up putting enormous pressure on the calculator.
Anyone who has ever been calculated by him end up being duped.
Even if they haven’t been duped now, they will still be in the future.
Chen Chang’an thought that this wasn’t fortune-telling, but more of a curse!
The main thing is, this old man doesn’t do honest work all day, he just loves when he catches someone and wants to tell their fortune, never tiring of it.
Because of this, the old man’s enemies are almost everywhere in the Wuxiang realm.
So much so, that even the normally non-gossipy Chen Chang’an had heard of him.
Of course, what astonished Chen Chang’an was that even though the Tianxiang Pavilion today was a place where cultivators gathered, this old man not only did not hide, but appeared here blatantly.
This sort of audacity can no longer be described as bold.
"Young man, would you like to have your fortune read? I’m very accurate."
When Bai Baxian heard Chen Chang’an’s question, he immediately leaned over and asked.
"Uh, no thanks."
Chen Chang’an waved his hand.
"Believe me, don’t provoke it, otherwise you will regret it."
Chen Chang’an was telling the truth.
He himself is not clear about how powerful he has become now.
In this state, let alone Bai Baxian, even if someone of higher rank than him tried to infer hastily.
If they are not careful, they will definitely suffer unspeakable backlash under their Qi sensing.
At best, they might be seriously injured and lose all their cultivation skills.
At worst, it’s not impossible that they might die and their Dao be extinguished.
"Regret?"
"Boy, let me tell you, there is no one that I, Bai Baxian, cannot calculate."
Hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Bai Baxian’s eyes bulged and he started boasting.
The biggest grievance any fortune-teller has is to be told that they can’t do their job.
And Bai Baxian is one of the best among them.
Immediately, he took out his wand, his body surged with power, and he began to calculate on the spot to show to Chen Chang’an.
Chen Chang’an, seeing this scene, kept silent and just watched and laughed at this old man.
On the other side, Bai Baxian had already entered into his calculations.
He could see his fingers moving rapidly and him reciting mysterious incantations under his breath.
As he enters the zone, divine lights appear around him, which look quite mystic.
However, under Chen Chang’an’s observation.
He discovered that among those divine lights, there was a strand of black Qi floating.
Above the black Qi, there was a force that threatened Dao.
This force was very eerie and powerful.
So powerful that even Chen Chang’an could not help but feel a twinge of anxiety.
However, after seeing that black Qi, Chen Chang’an suddenly smirked.
He now probably understood why this Bai Baxian was called a ’poisonous mouth’.
Meanwhile, Bai Baxian’s divination had reached its climax.
"Before the golden fruit is given, the white jade flower blooms first; wearing a scholar’s cap, and the heart is draped in silk."
He muttered to himself.
Though his eyes were closed, you could see the smile on his face.
Nothing really, just because he had calculated it out.
Right now, Bai Baxian’s body might be in front of Chen Chang’an, but his consciousness was still inside an indescribable alternate dimension.
Here, birds chirp and flowers smell fragrant, clear springs flow, and clouds linger around.
Just like a fairyland from legends.
This place isn’t just anywhere, but the original space where the Tianji lineage arrives every time it divines.
This is also the space inside the heart of the divination subject.
Here, every ’thing’ that is divined shows its most essential nature.
Undoubtedly, the space where Bai Baxian is now is the most ’essential’ part of Chen Chang’an’s heart.
Upon arriving in this space, Bai Baxian wasn’t attracted by the glorious scenery inside. Instead, he looked up at the highest point in the sky.
There, several characters filled with Grand Righteousness Confucian Qi were hovering.
[Before the golden fruit is given, the white jade flower blooms first; Wearing a scholar’s cap, the heart is draped in silk.]
This phrase clearly indicates one thing - the boy in front of him is a Confucian scholar.
Hehe, you still said that I couldn’t calculate it out?
You see, didn’t I just expose your secrets!
Bai Baxian laughed heartily in his heart.
"Huh? What’s this?"
However, just as he was about to stop using his divine skills and was thinking of flaunting his skills in front of Chen Chang’an.
Suddenly, he noticed something different.
Naturally, it was something hidden within the riddle composed of white light that he had calculated. It seemed to contain something else.
Another riddle, but this one was black!
"This kid has a hidden identity?"
"Interesting."
Bai Baxian was taken aback and then smiled.
Just a hidden identity, he is not scared by these things.
Immediately, he used his divine sense, carelessly exploring towards that riddle.
However, the next moment, just as Bai Baxian’s divine sense was about to touch that riddle.
He suddenly felt a bad premonition.
Upon feeling this premonition, Bai Banxian’s eyebrows creased instantaneously.
He instinctively tried to withdraw his divine sense, but it was already too late.
His divine sense had already encountered the enigma.
Boom~!
The next moment, the sky changed!
A booming sound resounded through the heavens and earth, the deafening noise assaulting his senses like the collapse of the sky itself.
This sudden noise left Bai Banxian stunned into silence.
Engulfed in the collapsing sky, he felt his brain rumbling and then, he lost all sensation in his ears.
"Damn it, what the hell is this?!"
Seeing this, Bai Banxian called out in fear.
However, before he could react, an even more terrifying scene unfolded.
Crack~!
The next moment, he heard a cracking sound.
Then, Bai Banxian noticed that the world in front of him was fracturing.
Crack, a piece of the sky broke away.
Then a piece of the ground and mountains shattered.
Finally, the entire world in front of him had disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.
After this world had disappeared, Bai Banxian discovered that a larger world had appeared in front of his eyes.
This was a blood-filled world!
With its boundless expanse, it was engulfed in a terrifying darkness.
Here, it was like a savage wildland.
"Roar~!"
Horrible ancient deities and demons with heights of ten thousand feet were running amok.
Pitch-black winged nine-headed lions roared to the sky, and supreme divine phoenixes covered in murderous aura crowed to the heavens.
They roamed between heaven and earth, launching endless battles across the starry sky that was millions of miles long.
A single beat of wings, a roar to the sky, and a world was annihilated.
Every attack shook the entire Great Dao!
Massacre!
An endless massacre!
Without a doubt, this was a world of chaotic slaughter!
But the most horrifying part wasn’t even this.
The most terrifying part was, within this boundless world of slaughter.
An ancient bronze throne floated in the air, atop of which sat a youth whose face was hard to discern.
The youth was dressed in black, his terrifying aura constantly manifesting itself. The stars in the sky all vanished under this aura.
He looked down at everything below him.
As if he was the king of all the heavens.
From high above, he looked down upon all living beings!
One look, and it was eternity!
"This...! This....!"
Facing this scene, Bai Banxian trembled with fear.
Whether it was the battles of those beasts that were equal to deities and demons, or the entity sitting alone on the throne above, all of them nearly gave him a sense of facing death.
Boom~!
Suddenly, a strong shockwave hit him.
Caught off guard, Bai Banxian was seriously injured.
Not only his divine sense, but his mind as well suffered an irreversible damage!
"Pfft~!"
The next moment, his throat tasted sweet and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"No good! I need to get out fast or I might actually die here today!"
Upon this realization, Bai Banxian immediately wanted to retreat.
When one is strong, massacre transpires, just like a dragon crossing the river; when one is weak, massacre occurs, resulting in heaven lamenting and earth mourning!
This is the Great Massacre of Heaven and Earth!
If he didn’t leave, he would really die!
What the hell!
Just who is this guy, and why does his inner world possess so many Dao-imbued Demon Gods?
Each Dao-imbued Demon God embodies a kind of Great Dao. The Demon Gods contend for supremacy, and the Great Dao resonate together!
Bai Banxian was genuinely trembling with fear.
A Dao-imbued Demon God, an ordinary person possessing one was already considered exceptional, but this guy, how many does he have?
He had absolutely no chance of counting!
Is this guy really human?!
While Bai Banxian was running away and cursing, another terrifying change took place.
It seemed his prying had been discovered.
"Who dares to spy on me!"
The next moment, the man high up on the pitch-black throne seemed to sense something.
He lifted his head, and his gaze landed right where Bai Banxian was.
Boom~!
That gaze was exceedingly bright and profound.
Although he had not made a move, one glance seemed to span countless years!
"Ahh~!"
Upon meeting his gaze, Bai Banxian immediately felt his divine soul sinking.
Innumerable Great Dao’s laws bore down on him,
This immense terror forced out a scream of despair from him.
However, this was just the beginning!
Following that gaze, a torrential killing intent flooded towards him.
This was the man on the throne casually letting out a cold huff.
Even though it was just a mere silhouette, it was unimaginably horrifying.
It was as if it carried the massacre of all ten directions of the heavens, leaving no room for resistance!
"Am I really going to die here?"
Looking at that overpowering aura crashing towards him, Bai Banxian felt regret at this moment,
He regretted why he acted like a fool, ignored Chen Chang’an’s warnings, and insisted on attempting this.
Now it had come to this, he had played himself to death.
With that, Bai Banxian closed his eyes, waiting for death’s cold embrace.
"Hey, old man, I told you, you shouldn’t have tried to divine my future, do you believe me now?"
However, just as he was closing his eyes to accept his fate.
A gentle voice suddenly entered his ears.
Then, Bai Banxian felt a gentle hand reaching out from the outside, grabbing his body, and then ejecting him out.
When he regained awareness, Bai Banxian found that his soul had returned to his body, and he was back outside.
Across him, Chen Chang’an was looking at him with a smile on his face.
