《World Of Swords》36 : Divination
Advertisement
"It could have just told me to leave" thought Xu Yue.
A few moments later.
"I should not do that again," mumbled Xu Yue as she felt pain in her forehead. For some reason, it seemed as if this pain would stay with her forever, as it did not seem to dissipate.
After around five minutes, the pain started to slowly decrease. A few minutes later, a pain-free Xu Yue was standing around thinking about what had just happened.
Even as she thought about it for a few minutes, Xu Yue could not find a good enough reason to get revenge on that person.
"I should think about it later," thought Xu Yue.
As she said this, her mind started going from one thing to another before landing on luck.
"So that was the luck of the sect, huh?" said Xu Yue unconsciously.
"I wonder what my luck looks like " thought Xu Yue, wondering when she would be able to see her own luck.
There are quite a few methods to see one's own luck. One of them that Xu Yue could quite probably accomplish, is to reach a high level in the Dao of Karma. A much more difficult method would be for her to manage to comprehend either the Dao of Destiny, or even the Dao of Luck itself.
Xu Yue shook her head and took these distracting thoughts out of her mind.
In a luxurious palace.
"So this is it " said Yue, looking at the string emerging from her chest to the main body.
"Ughh"
As she had tried to focus on it, Yue suffered from a large headache.
She stopped paying attention to it after this, as to not suffer anymore.
Unknown to her, the moment she stopped looking at it, the string transformed. The colors red and black emerged on it, and were battling each other.

It seemed as if the string was fully black at the beginning, but right now, a deep red occupied eighty percent of it.
It seemed as if Yue ignoring the string was the final push necessary. The black completely disappeared from the string, being replaced by a deep red.
In Xu Yue's cave abode.
As she was practicing swordsmanship, Xu Yue felt as if something had changed. Rather than feeling it, it would be more true to say that her intuition sensed it.
"What is it?" asked herself Xu Yue.
After she finished her training, she took a bath before preparing to actually divine if that thing was a danger to her.
Sitting crosslegged on her bed, Xu Yue prepared to actually use the Lesser Heaven Scrying art for the first time.
Thirty minutes later,
A collapsed Xu Yue did her best to move her hand towards her spatial bag. After a few minutes, she finally managed to get a pill out from it.
As she swallowed the pill, it seemed as if her body had finally managed to get some energy.
"I should have prepared pills beforehand" said Xu Yue as she remembered the state she was in after completing the divination.
"So it's not a danger to me" mumbled Xu Yue.
With her small skills in divination, she had only managed to surmise the fact that she was not in any danger.
Even though this would be an acceptable result if she had used another divination technique, the fact that she had gotten this result while using the Lesser Heaven Scrying art showed her vast inexperience and weakness.
While it did have lesser in its name, the art was the second most powerful divination technique in existence, only behind the Greater Heaven Scrying art.
Compared to any other technique, the number of results obtained from it would be not only much larger but also much more detailed.

This meant that if she had used any other technique, Xu Yue would have failed the divination and experienced backlash. Even though she knew she would not be harmed because of it, she still became worried.
"I should be more cautious about divination. I was both rash and overconfident " thought Xu Yue.
"I did not even use these. Why was I so stupid?" said Xu Yue, looking at the treasures meant to resist backlash from divination.
Some of these were from her master, some from her mother, while others were from her grandfather.
Knowing the result of the divination made Yue breathe a sigh of relief, she had that same feeling as Xu Yue, but rather even more intense, the main body being in danger was not in her best interests.
Just outside of Xu Yue's cave abode
Looking at his descendant using divination made Xu Ming remember the distant past. Remembering how his first divination went made him breathe a sigh of relief while looking at Xu Yue.
He couldn't bear to see her suffer like that.
Inside of the Heaven-Scrying Palace
As he was preparing for the test to become a certified diviner, Ling Chen felt extremely worried that he might make a mistake, or that his shallow accumulation would affect the test, as he had only spent a few decades practicing divination, he was much more inexperienced compared to other taking the test.
Ling Chen was already a great genius, the difficulty of being a diviner dwarfed that of being an alchemist or even a formation master, becoming one at such a young age was something extremely immpresive.
Generally, most diviners' paths begin at Qi refinement. Managing to do it at Soul Enlightenment is something extremely rare.
As he began divining, Ling Chen's body started shriveling up. He hastily took a pill from his storage bag. Once every five minutes, he would take another pill, as the effects of the last one stopped.
Two hours later,
A now recovered Ling Chen stood in front of a formation with over ten thousand different targets.
"It's that one " said Ling Chen before pointing to a particular target.
A moment later, the target exploded. Even though Ling Chen knew he was right, he was still extremely tense, and all of that tension faded away the moment, the target exploded.
Three days later,
Ling Chen exited from a pavilion. Even though he had large dark circles under his eyes, he looked extremely happy. He had to pass another eight inspections to prove his skill, but he had finally done it.
He had become a low-ranking diviner.
