157: Immersive practice of the art of divination!

Zhuge Qing looked at you with a puzzled expression.

According to his plan, although he also had the goal of finding the Heavenly Dao, it was definitely not the right time to search for it now.

Finding the whereabouts of the Heavenly Dao was the ultimate goal of his life.

Zhuge Qing immediately caught the unusualness in this, and he asked you why you suddenly wanted to find the Heavenly Dao.

You chose not to hide many things from Zhuge Qing.

In terms of finding the Heavenly Dao, you still needed Zhuge Qing's help.

You told Zhuge Qing the truth about the Canglan Realm's Heavenly Dao.

"The Heavenly Dao of the Canglan Realm and the Heavenly Dao of the Upper Realm were originally one entity, and the Canglan Realm we are in is also a part of the Upper Realm; you can call it a Dead Land!"

"The Upper Realm is the true Canglan Realm!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Qing, rarely, showed a look of horror.

What you said completely shattered his understanding.

In Zhuge Qing's view, the Upper Realm was the Upper Realm, and the Lower Realm was the Lower Realm; he had never thought that the Canglan Realm was just a part of the Upper Realm, and what shocked him even more was that the Heavenly Dao was incomplete.

"Is this the result of your deductions?"

You stared intently at Zhuge Qing and nodded heavily.

Immediately after, you told Zhuge Qing the true purpose of the Guichong Clan.

"The Guichong Ancestor initially invaded the Upper Realm's Canglan Realm. After the Upper Realm's great powers discovered that the Heavenly Dao was corrupted, they forcibly cut off a part of the Heavenly Dao and threw it into the Dead Land, which is the Canglan Realm we are currently in."

"Immediately after, the Upper Realm's great powers sealed all the Weird Insects within the Dead Land and blocked the only passage from the Dead Land to the Upper Realm. Since then, no living beings in the Dead Land have been able to leave."

"And that passage is the Void Realm within the Heavenly Void Forbidden Ground!"

Zhuge Qing heard this and was unable to recover for a long time.

What you said had too great an impact on him, and it was difficult for him to digest it all at once.

"This..."

Seeing Zhuge Qing's current state, you were not in a hurry to continue speaking. You planned to give him some time to digest these matters.

Three days later!

Zhuge Qing proactively found you.

"Since the Canglan Realm, no, it should be called the Dead Land!"

"You said that the Heavenly Dao in the Dead Land and the Heavenly Dao of the Canglan Realm are one entity, separated due to the Weird Insects, then why was the Dead Land separated from the Canglan Realm of the Upper Realm?"

You looked at Zhuge Qing, not expecting him to ask this question.

"I don't know either!"

"The truth about this matter involves too many things, things that we cannot know at this moment!"

"Knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing!"

This time, you did not deceive Zhuge Qing; you truly did not know, not even those in the Upper Realm knew the truth.

Immediately after, Zhuge Qing asked you what your true purpose was for urgently seeking the Heavenly Dao.

You told Zhuge Qing about your speculation that the Heavenly Dao was self-repairing.

"Logically, the people of the Upper Realm separated the Heavenly Dao into the Dead Land, intending for this part of the Heavenly Dao to slowly perish!"

"However, what the people of the Upper Realm did not expect was that the Heavenly Dao not only did not perish but grew stronger day by day, and now it even has the power to Cultivate many Children of Destiny."

"Therefore, I speculate that the Heavenly Dao in the Dead Land wants to become a complete Heavenly Dao like the Upper Realm, to completely transform the Dead Land into a true Immortal Realm!"

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Qing instantly understood your true intention.

"The problem lies with the Guichong Ancestor?"

You looked at Zhuge Qing and smiled slightly.

"That's right!"

"The Guichong Ancestor also desires this power; he is contending with the Heavenly Dao, and whoever wins will gain the power of the Heavenly Dao within this Dead Land."

You told Zhuge Qing that you speculated the Heavenly Dao and the Guichong Ancestor were currently in a delicate balance. The Heavenly Dao wanted to break this balance, so it separated a part of its power to give birth to the Children of Destiny.

You told Zhuge Qing that if the Children of Destiny did not succeed, the Heavenly Dao would fall into a disadvantage in the long struggle and eventually be swallowed by the Guichong Ancestor.

"Are these all your speculations?"

You nodded, indicating that all of the above were your speculations based on the results of your deductions.

You told Zhuge Qing that as for what the truth truly was, only by finding the Heavenly Dao's main body would you know the real answer.

Zhuge Qing let out a bitter laugh after hearing this.

"Let's Cultivate the Heavenly Secret Art first. The prerequisite for finding all of this is to Cultivate the Heavenly Secret Art to the ninth layer!"

Starting the next day, you and Zhuge Qing focused all your attention on Cultivating the Heavenly Secret Art.

You suddenly regretted neglecting the Cultivation of Heavenly Secret Art before.

Previously, you had Cultivated Heavenly Secret Art with a completely casual attitude; at the time, it seemed to you that with Zhuge Qing around, you didn't need to focus on Heavenly Secret Art at all.

But now, when it truly came time to use Heavenly Secret Art, you realized how important Cultivating Heavenly Secret Art was.

"Time really isn't enough..."

The good news was that your Divine Ability Heaven Slaying and Chaos Immortal Demon Art temporarily did not require Cultivation; you could only continue Cultivating them once you reached the Tribulation Realm.

The bad news was that you temporarily could not continue refining the ancient Dragon essence blood within your body.

In the fifth year, the Secret Realm you were in had already been abandoned, and you found a new Secret Realm to begin Cultivating.

However, you felt that this was too time-consuming and lacked focus, so you and Zhuge Qing found a separate Secret Realm to begin Cultivating.

During this period, your Incarnation also successfully achieved a Breakthrough to the Mahayana Realm.

The tenth year!

Your Heavenly Secret Art had already reached the seventh layer in the twelfth year, while Zhuge Qing's Heavenly Secret Art had long since reached the eighth layer but had been stuck there, unable to enter the ninth layer Realm.

At this time, you found Zhuge Qing and intended to ask him to try a deduction.

Zhuge Qing heard this and reluctantly agreed to you.

Seven days later!

Zhuge Qing walked out with a dejected expression.

"Completely unable to deduce!"

"Still not working... It seems the Heavenly Secret Art must be Cultivated to the ninth layer!"

You were not surprised by this result.

Immediately after, you continued to go into seclusion to Cultivate the Heavenly Secret Art.

The fifteenth year!

Your Heavenly Secret Art had already reached the eighth layer Realm in the twelfth year, but you, like Zhuge Qing, had been stuck at the eighth layer, unable to achieve a Breakthrough to the ninth layer Realm.

At this time, Zhuge Qing's face showed a solemn expression.

"It seems we can't continue to Cultivate blindly like this!"

"To achieve a Breakthrough to the ninth layer, even Cultivating for a thousand years might not be enough to step into the ninth layer Realm!"

"You know how to achieve a Breakthrough to the ninth layer?"

You looked at Zhuge Qing with anticipation, hoping he had a way to achieve a Breakthrough to the ninth layer...
