The Prince Can Do Divination

Chapter 205 - 162: The Turtle Shell Rises Again, The Advantage Is Mine, "Rolling Fortune" Fate Grid

"It is you, Prince Huai’an."

The person before him was none other than Lu Mingyuan.

"Their greed knows no bounds."

Lu Mingyuan said indifferently.

"I’m guessing they stole a Human Gu Celestial Eagle’s egg. That must be why they’re being hunted."

Sui Yuqing sighed. "I suspected as much. That’s why I regretted intervening as soon as I did."

Lu Mingyuan watched their retreating figures, clasped his hands behind his back, and issued a command. He smiled and said, "Elder Sui, did you come here after hearing the commotion?"

"That’s right." Sui Yuqing nodded and explained, "The Barrier shattered, teleporting everyone from the great hall to random locations within this world."

Lu Mingyuan’s expression turned grave. "I just heard you say, Elder, that this isn’t the Wilderness World, but the World in the Palm of Your Hand of some powerful figure?"

Sui Yuqing continued explaining in a low voice, "Your Highness can think of it this way: the Demon Race seized control over the Demon Slaying Conference’s Barrier. They then expanded it significantly, turning it into their plaything. They can insert their own demons into it at will with the goal of slaughtering the Human Race. It also serves to sever this space from the laws of heaven and earth, preventing the Taoist Sect from performing divinations."

"Won’t the Saints and Ancestors of the Three Religions intervene?" Lu Mingyuan asked in a heavy tone.

Sui Yuqing frowned and took a sharp breath. "It will probably take a great deal of time. If I’m not mistaken, the Taoist Ancestor should have already begun searching for this space."

"In a way, the Human Race is reaping what it has sown. They thought their plan was foolproof. The Yunhu National Preceptor self-detonated to expose the location of the Inner Space, which is how they were able to seize control."

"It will be extremely difficult for the Taoist Ancestor and the others to find this world in the vast emptiness. I don’t know if the Princes and Princesses from the various Dynasties trapped in this space can hold out until then."

Lu Mingyuan nodded lightly, finally understanding the origin of this Little World.

It was a space carved out from the Wilderness World, similar to a Pocket World. Like a bead existing separately from the greater world, it could evade the Taoist Sect’s scrying.

It was a trick the Demon Race had learned from the Human Race.

A Great Demon capable of controlling a Grotto Heaven.

A terrifying existence comparable to the Three Religions’ Saints.

’This being must be outside the bead, observing the prey within, watching their every move.’

As Lu Mingyuan pondered, text appeared before his eyes.

[The cultivators from Purple Palace Country have all been slain by Shadow Warriors!]

[Gua Cheng, Great Fortune!]

[The Life Master has obtained the Fluorescent Green Life Chart—Rolling Fortune.]

[Fluorescent Green Life Chart (Rolling Fortune): Good deeds bring good fortune, and merit brings its own rewards. Accept the karmic consequences, and opportunities will manifest. Luck compounds like interest.]

[Refinement Level has reached 30%. Unlocked Life Chart Trait - Merit (Basic Level).]

[Merit (Basic Level): Each time you gain an Opportunity, your Destiny will increase by a small amount.]

’It’s a Fate Grid related to Destiny and Luck. Not bad at all.’

Lu Mingyuan nodded to himself.

Seeing him slightly dazed, Sui Yuqing couldn’t help but ask, "Your Highness, is something wrong?"

"It’s nothing. Let’s leave this place first."

Lu Mingyuan glanced back expressionlessly. He decided to leave Dragon Hanging Mountain and not provoke the being that resided there.

A Jade Token appeared in Sui Yuqing’s hand. He said seriously, "All cultivators from the Taoist Sect carry a Token from the Thunder Pool Daoist Academy. With this, we can regroup with the other experts. It wants to separate the Human Race Cultivators and defeat them one by one. We absolutely cannot let this demon succeed."

Lu Mingyuan fully agreed. "Regrouping sooner rather than later will ensure our safety."

As Sui Yuqing passed the reeds, he glanced at the nest and said quizzically, "I remember there being two eggs here before."

Lu Mingyuan said without a change in expression, "They were probably all stolen by those people."

"ROAR!!"

An enraged roar echoed from above them once again, and a massive shadow that blotted out the sun appeared in the sky.

The sound was exceptionally close this time, and Lu Mingyuan could finally hear it clearly.

’It sounded like a dragon’s cry.’
