Upon seeing Master Profound Mystery, Master Dragon Tamer, who was always authoritative in the Hundred Beasts Sect, couldn't help but display a polite smile.

He likewise cupped his hands toward Master Profound Mystery before stating his purpose.

"Xuanji Dao You, I've come this time to ask for your help in divining a matter."

As he spoke, he recounted the circumstances surrounding the death of his elder, Master Lei Bao, to Master Profound Mystery.

Upon hearing this, Master Profound Mystery's brows furrowed slightly.

He looked at Master Dragon Tamer and said, "Yu Long Dao You, you should know that while our Thousand Mechanism Sect excels in divination, this very expertise also requires us to hold it in great reverence. We never undertake divination for others lightly unless it is absolutely necessary."

After all, divining for someone else is often akin to involving oneself in part of their karma.

If it's a trivial matter, that might be acceptable.

But the matter that Master Dragon Tamer referred to clearly isn't trivial.

Once he assists Master Dragon Tamer in divining the identity of the other party, if Master Dragon Tamer can deal with that person, then all is well.

But if he cannot, or has no way to deal with the opponent,

Then in the future, if that person learns all this stemmed from his divination, would they not blame him?

This is why divinations are not lightly performed.

The intertwining of karma, the secrets of the heavens, and fate are exceedingly difficult to fathom.

The slightest mishap could very likely backfire.

Master Dragon Tamer had evidently anticipated this point.

Thus, upon hearing Master Profound Mystery's words, he immediately retrieved an item from his person.

It was a white fruit roughly the size of a fist.

Its surface seemed to be enveloped in a hazy glow, making it somewhat difficult to discern its true form.

"This is? Spiritual Luck Fruit!"

Seeing what Master Dragon Tamer took out, Master Profound Mystery, who had been calm, immediately changed his expression.

Soon after, he suddenly looked up at Master Dragon Tamer.

"Yu Long Dao You, what is the meaning of this?"

"Nothing much, just a slight token of respect."

Master Dragon Tamer smiled.

"I'm just unsure whether using this item to request Xuanji Dao You to divine what I just mentioned would be acceptable?"

Upon hearing this, Master Profound Mystery took a deep breath and then, with a wry smile, looked at Master Dragon Tamer and said:

"Yu Long Dao You, you certainly know how to trouble me."

"Well, Xuanji Dao You?"

Master Dragon Tamer did not respond but merely returned a smile.

As they observed, Master Profound Mystery's expression shifted.

Finally, he nodded towards Master Dragon Tamer and said:

"Very well!

I will divine this for you, Yu Long Dao You!

By the way..."

As he spoke, Master Profound Mystery suddenly seemed to recall something and couldn't help but ask Master Dragon Tamer:

"Yu Long Dao You, did you bring items that Master Lei Bao once used?"

"Of course, I did."

Master Dragon Tamer evidently had some understanding of the divination practices of Master Profound Mystery and the others.

Thus, upon hearing Master Profound Mystery's words, he immediately retrieved several more items from his person.

Seeing these items, Master Profound Mystery nodded.

"Alright, with these items as a medium, the divination should proceed."

With that, Master Profound Mystery did not delay further.

They watched as he produced an item resembling tortoiseshell from his person.

Subsequently, he placed the items presented by Master Dragon Tamer one by one on the tortoiseshell.

After a moment.

A peculiar aura emanated from Master Profound Mystery.

His eyes transformed into black and white intertwined lines, seemingly capable of penetrating layers of fog to uncover the end of the event.

But just at this moment, the enigmatic aura from him suddenly became unstable.

Immediately, the black and white lines in his eyes vanished abruptly, replaced by two lines of bleeding tears.

"Ah!"

Inexplicably, a scream escaped from Master Profound Mystery's mouth.

Subsequently, there was a loud bang.

The magical treasure resembling a tortoiseshell that he had just taken out exploded into powder.

His entire aura rapidly weakened.

"Xuanji Dao You, what happened to you...?"

So sudden was the change that even Master Dragon Tamer was taken aback.

Being a late-stage Golden Core master, possessing a condensed Realm, Master Dragon Tamer could distinctly feel that Master Profound Mystery's lifespan had just reduced significantly.

"Apologies, Yu Long Dao You..."

At this point, with a grave expression, Master Profound Mystery spoke.

"The person you asked me to divine has their heavenly secrets deliberately concealed by someone. Unless a Supreme Elder of my sect intervenes, my abilities are insufficient to discern specific details."

"You need your sect's Supreme Elder to take action?"

Upon hearing this, Master Dragon Tamer was shocked.

He was well aware of the status represented by a Supreme Elder of the Thousand Mechanism Sect.

They are at least at the Nascent Soul True Monarch level.

What virtue does he possess to warrant such an existence to perform divination for him?

That's simply impossible.

"Xuanji Dao You, is there really no other way?"

Master Dragon Tamer asked, still unwilling to give up.

Master Profound Mystery glanced at him and said lightly:

"You should understand that my divination leading to backlash indicates what kind of existence the opponent is.

Are you sure you want to offend such an existence for the sake of one elder from your sect?

Or do you think the opponent might not have noticed what we just did?"

"Wha... What?"

Hearing these words from Master Profound Mystery, Master Dragon Tamer's surprise turned into a subtle fear.

The higher his cultivation, the better he understood the terrifying nature of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Such power far exceeded that of any Golden Core master.

Even a perfected Golden Core master would only need a finger from a Nascent Soul True Monarch to be obliterated.

The power difference between them is more than ten times the gap between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core.

With this realization, Master Dragon Tamer finally displayed a helpless expression.

He apologized to Master Profound Mystery before tactfully refraining from staying longer, turning to leave the Thousand Mechanism Sect.

As he watched Master Dragon Tamer depart, Master Profound Mystery's expression darkened further.

But simultaneously, he felt a trace of unease.

In the end, he resolutely steeled himself and headed towards the cave dwelling of a certain Supreme Elder within their Thousand Mechanism Sect.

Some time later.

At the auction in the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal City, with Zhang Tianyang's covert assistance, Ji Haoyuan successfully acquired the Star Crystal Sand.

Though not in large quantity,

its superior quality over Star Dust Sand still held the potential to elevate Ji Haoyuan's Star Fighting Body to a new level.

Just as Ji Haoyuan was considering bidding on other potentially valuable items from the auction, he unexpectedly received a message from Master Binghuo.
