Chapter 1871 – Against the Fate of Heaven

　　”Aren’t you very proud of your fortune-telling skills?

　　Then now I’m going to trouble you to help me do some good fortune telling as well.

　　In the end, I haven’t trusted the so-called Heavenly Dao for an unknown number of thousands of years.

　　I’ll let you take a look for me!”

　　Xu Yang said, slowly stepping forward and coming up towards the old man in front of him.

　　Those who were familiar with him knew that every time Xu Yang became calm, it meant that it was about to explode its powerful cultivation potential and obliterate its opponent.

　　Only this time, the old fellow still had an expression of speech and laughter on his face, and even though he had sensed the powerful killing intent that Xu Yang was hiding deep inside, he still didn’t immediately flip out with him.

　　Instead, he shook the floating dust in his hand, and the white line rested on top of Xu Yang’s wrist.

　　It looked like an action similar to checking the pulse.

　　However, the old man was simply secretly testing the cultivation base within Xu Yang’s body!

　　Unfortunately, there was no way for him to compete with Xu Yang in terms of hard power and cultivation realm.

　　Just as a martial artist with low strength could never see through the true realm possessed by a martial artist more powerful than himself, the answer he received at the moment was merely the result of Xu Yang’s use of camouflage to confuse the other party.

　　”A mere peak of the Mahayana realm, to possess a stance like yours, your kid’s guts are really big enough ah.

　　But since you took the initiative to open your mouth and have a claim in this regard, then I will definitely help you make up a good fortune.

　　Take a look at what your fate really is.”

　　After the old man finished speaking, his feet gently shook, and an incomparably radiant greenish-blue Taiji Totem emerged from beneath his feet.

　　At least in this instant, the aura of superior clarity on the old man’s body was quite pure.

　　”The Dao begets one!

　　One begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things!”

　　The moment the words landed, the Taiji Totem under the old man’s feet began to produce a steady stream of martial aura.

　　This scene looked in Xu Yang’s eyes and immediately drew his extra attention.

　　The power of the inheritance of the Taiji lineage totem was created by Xu Yang in that continental epoch hundreds of thousands of years ago.

　　Aside from the few shut-in disciples he had once taken within the sect, there was almost no one who had obtained the entirety of the inheritance regarding the Taiji Totem.

　　And the martial skill that this old man in front of him had executed was clearly a part of the Taiji Totem.

　　In other words, this old man in front of him was most likely the inheritor of the bloodline of Xu Yang’s disciples hundreds of thousands of years ago.

　　If he were to count by generation, he should still call Xu Yang an old ancestor.

　　It was just that right now Xu Yang had only flashed such thoughts and ideas in his mind, and had not really come to verify this speculation.

　　A smile gradually emerged on his face, Xu Yang was instead interested in this little old man, and was not in a hurry to take action against the other party, he really wanted to see what kind of past dealings the so-called trigrams were able to deduce in the end.

　　”First things first, if you calculate out a good sentence for me, then I might still be able to give you some reward.

　　If you calculate out the result makes me unsatisfied, or all is nonsense words, careful I directly smash your signboard.

　　Let you never have the ability to tell other people’s fortunes again in your life.”

　　Xu Yang spoke the most ruthless words in the gentlest and calmest tone.

　　When those words just landed at the same time, the red-clothed woman behind him immediately surfaced as a fan girl, clapping her hands back and forth, even forgetting that she was still a member amongst the middle-aged Grand Elders of the Changing Cloud Sky.

　　The little old man smiled without saying a word and began to continue deducing his own trigrams, and soon the pendant that had been condensed from pure soul light appeared in front of the old man.

　　Seeing that he gently raised his hand and scanned through the contents of the recorded scroll section on this sign, his face immediately hardened for a few moments, and then re-lighted his gaze on Xu Yang’s face to look again and again.

　　”Your Excellency is actually someone who possesses such astounding great fortune.

　　I didn’t realize that old me had counted my life’s destiny to others.

　　Surprisingly, I would come across a destiny that truly makes me feel incredible in a place like this.

　　A destiny against the heavens that is not found in ten thousand has actually appeared in your body.”

　　Xu Yang still looked like he was smiling without saying anything, signaling the old man to continue.

　　On the contrary, both Nangong and Xuanguang behind him had been sent chills down their spines by Xu Yang’s gesture at this point.

　　”Ling’er, hurry up and go tell this old fellow to shut up, if he continues to spout nonsense like this, I’m really worried that His Excellency Xu Yang will suddenly burst into a rage at a certain moment and directly slap it to death.

　　That way, the seven of us in the Elder Corps will become six.”

　　Nangong originally played the role of a peacemaker amongst the Elder Corps, and he was also the existence that cherished the friendship amongst the seven people the most.

　　It was indeed from the bottom of his heart that he was worried for this Old Magus.

　　However, everyone did not expect that Xu Yang surprisingly did not interrupt the old man this time, but continued to let him speak on.

　　The old man didn’t tell any unimaginable secrets, but on the whole, the hexagram he had calculated for Xu Yang was still largely in line with the trajectory that Xu Yang had once traveled.

　　”Young man’s cultivation is so profound, if you can quickly leave the palace, you will definitely be able to walk on the path of the Human Extreme Realm in the future.”

　　But if you continue to stay within this imperial palace, a true calamity will immediately befall you.

　　Even I do not have the ability to help you resolve such a perilous situation.”

　　Xu Yang laughed out loud, and then gently waved his hand, as if he was dispatching a barker, and threw out two taels of broken silver in front of this old man.

　　”After all, I can’t let you tell me this fortune for nothing, you little old man is quite interesting, but this sentence of yours just now is also what I want to say to you.

　　If you give up this stall now wherever you came from go back to wherever you came from, the evil hardship that belongs to you will also disappear.

　　How’s that?

　　Think it over, old man.

　　This will directly affect the end of your destiny.”

　　The old man smiled disbelievingly and shook his head, “You and I are both smart people, since my advice was not taken by you, there is nothing more to say, accept your impending fate of falling.”

　　When the old man finished saying these words, the aura of his entire body was very different from before, the feeling of being full of tyranny and killing suddenly emerged from amongst the limbs and bones around him.

　　The reason why there was such an obvious change was because when he was in a violent rage, all the cultivation underpinnings in his body had already bred a ferocious instinct.

　　Under the pull and push of this instinct, the old man no longer had his previous immortal and clear appearance, instead, he looked like a Taoist evil path.

　　What the crowd didn’t expect was that in the old man’s other hand, a blood-red sword had appeared at some point, silently locking onto Xu Yang’s body and stabbing out viciously in front of him.
