Chapter 623: Cursing from Afar, Intuition of the Heavens

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Jiang Chengxuan saw a series of either unfamiliar or familiar scenes flas.h.i.+ng before his eyes.

It seemed like a long time, but it was actually just a moment.

He had nearly comprehended the complete content of the third part of the Heavenly Calculation Technique.

In that instant, in his eyes, it was as if he could see the reflection of a man wearing a hooded cloak.

The man shot a dark light with his hand, targeting his disciple Jiang Anran.

Subsequently, the layers of protection on Jiang Anran were shattered one after another.

Finally, the jade pendant hanging around her neck burst into a circle of white light, completely enveloping Jiang Anran’s body.

This was the ability Jiang Chengxuan gained after comprehending the third part of the Heavenly Calculation Technique.

He could see past events that had occurred.

Moreover, he could curse someone he saw in those past events from afar.

!!..

Yes.

At this time, the Heavenly Calculation Technique had developed the power of cursing.

As long as the cultivation level of the target was below the caster, and there were no corresponding protective treasures on them, the curse would likely succeed.

However, the ability to view past events and to curse someone from those events could only be used once a day.

After each use, it would require a waiting period of half a month before it could be used again.

In other words, this ability had a cooldown period of half a month.

Jiang Chengxuan, towards the person who almost killed his disciple, would certainly not hold back.

Today, he intended to make that person pay the price.

At that moment, it seemed as if the light and shadow of time reversing appeared in Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes.

He quickly formed a specific hand seal.

Buzz!

In an instant, a mysterious and profound power surged up from Jiang Chengxuan’s body.

Jiang Anran, who was beside him, suddenly felt this aura from her s.h.i.+fu.

She was immediately startled, as she sensed that at this moment, her s.h.i.+fu seemed to become extremely elusive and unreal.

Yet, within this elusive feeling, there was something terrifying.

It was as if an invisible hand was reaching into the void to obliterate a powerful existence.

At least for Jiang Anran, that was her impression at the moment.

In a mysterious cave somewhere, the man in the hooded cloak was meditating.

Suddenly, he felt an inexplicable sense of trepidation, which made him immediately open his eyes.

What’s going on? Why do I feel so uneasy?

It’s as if a terrible disaster is about to befall me soon.

The man in the hood frowned, trying to understand this feeling in his heart. Could it be that Jiang Chengxuan’s disciple escaped back to the Jiang family, infuriating Jiang Chengxuan and his wife, and now they are coming after me? But that’s not right.

Even if they knew their disciple nearly perished, they couldn’t possibly know that I was the one responsible for it.

They could not possibly know my exact whereabouts.

The man in the hooded cloak was very confident about this.

Then came the problem.

If none of these scenarios were possible, then what was the cause of his current unease?

What had gone wrong?

As the hooded man pondered, unable to find an answer, he suddenly felt a strange disturbance in the Dharmic power within his body.

This disturbance grew increasingly p.r.o.nounced, and eventually, his Dharmic power became completely uncontrollable and wildly turbulent.

This made his pupils constrict.

He finally understood the cause of the problem.

A curse! This was a curse!

The color drained from the hooded man’s face.

He had never expected to be attacked by someone else’s curse, especially without any prior indication.

The caster was clearly highly skilled in this art, catching him completely off guard.

Boom!

At that moment, the hooded man felt as if a miniature nuclear bomb had exploded inside him.

His already tumultuous Dharmic power ignited even further.

In an instant, he felt all the meridians in his body being torn apart, and his flesh, bones, and organs were all shattered into a b.l.o.o.d.y mess, like mud. “Arghh!”

Finally.

The hooded man spat out a large mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of his organs.

His aura plummeted drastically, and a fierce look flashed across his face.

If I am to die by this curse, I will make you pay a hefty price!

BOOM!

At that moment, the hooded man even burned his Nascent Soul’s essence.

A beam of white light rose from his body.

However, before the white light could rise to the highest point, it suddenly shook.

Immediately after, the light dissipated bit by bit.

The hooded man looked at his body in disbelief, muttering, “How is this possible? How can this be?”

As he spoke, his body began to disintegrate like windblown sand, eventually disappearing into nothingness.

At the same time.

Jiang Chengxuan also finished his spellcasting.

He let out a long breath, with sweat appearing on his forehead.

Clearly, the act of cursing had been no small burden for him, either.

Most importantly, through the curse just now, he already had a vague guess about the hooded man’s ident.i.ty.

It was also because of this that he couldn’t help but frown.

His mood also grew a little heavy.

If his guess was correct, then the hidden dangers in their world were far more than what they appeared on the surface.

It was a trap within a trap, utterly unforeseeable.

“s.h.i.+fu, are you alright?”

At this moment, Jiang Anran, standing nearby, looked at Jiang Chengxuan with concerned eyes.

Hearing her words, Jiang Chengxuan finally pulled himself from his thoughts. He looked at Jiang Anran and smiled, shaking his head.

“Don’t worry, Anran, I’m fine. I’m just a bit tired from what I did just now. A little rest will be enough.”

After a pause, he continued,

“By the way, that person who attacked you, I’ve already dealt with him for you.” “Dealt with? Really?”

Jiang Anran’s expression showed a bit of astonishment.

Jiang Chengxuan nodded with a smile: “Yes, I just used a cursing technique and have obliterated that person.”

“A cursing technique?”

Jiang Anran was somewhat surprised.

She knew her s.h.i.+fu was a master of divination, but she didn’t know he was also adept at cursing techniques.

It seemed there was still much for her to learn from her s.h.i.+fu.

Jiang Anran had no reason to doubt her s.h.i.+fu’s words.

If he said he had dealt with the attacker, then he surely had.

“Alright, Anran, if you don’t have anything else to do, you should go and recuperate.

If nothing unexpected happens, you should be attempting to form your

Nascent Soul in the next two years, right?”

“Yes, s.h.i.+fu.”

Jiang Anran nodded.

“Then I’ll go back first.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

Soon, Jiang Anran left Xuanming Peak.

Jiang Chengxuan did not waste any more time.

He began to use the Heavenly Calculation Technique to continuously deduce the ident.i.ty of the man in the hooded cloak.

For several months, Jiang Chengxuan deduced not only the hooded man’s ident.i.ty but also the overall situation of the Nine Essences Cultivation World and the future direction of their human race.

He made over five hundred deductions.

However, to Jiang Chengxuan’s slight disappointment, besides further confirming the hooded man’s ident.i.ty, he couldn’t deduce anything too specific about the rest.

It seemed that with his current cultivation level, piercing through this fog of uncertainty to see the future direction was still somewhat forced.

Fortunately, when his number of deductions reached five hundred, the system’s voice finally arrived as expected.

[Ding.]

[Congratulations, host. You have achieved 500 deductions. You have obtained a pa.s.sive divine power, Intuition of the Heavens.]

[Intuition of the Heavens: An intuitive sense that can uniquely sense crises, hopes, and fortunes. It cannot be blocked and is infallible.]

This divine power seemed abstract and lacked practical use at first glance.

However, for Jiang Chengxuan, who had cultivated the Heavenly Calculation

Technique, the ability of Intuition of the Heavens had an incomparable powerful use.

Especially the aspects of it being unblockable and infallible.

These were the most coveted abilities for any cultivator proficient in the art of divination.

The biggest challenge in the art of divination is its uncertainty.

Even a cultivator’s divine sense isn’t always foolproof and can be mistaken.

However, the Intuition of the Heavens awarded by the system avoids these problems.

Whatever he senses or perceives in the future will be absolutely accurate, free from error and immune to being misled by others.

This was truly extraordinary.

The only issue with this kind of intuition was its unpredictability.

You never know when it might arise or under what circ.u.mstances it would be triggered.

Everything depends on luck.

After that.

Jiang Chengxuan gathered his thoughts.

He planned to use the Heavenly Calculation Technique to try to deduce the content of the Soul Formation chapter of the Five Elements True Technique.

Even if he couldn’t deduce all of it, deducing the part about the initial stage of Soul Formation would be good enough.

At the very least, this would greatly aid him in his attempts to break through to Soul Formation.

Just like that.

Time pa.s.sed slowly.

Three years later, on a particular day, as Jiang Chengxuan was making some progress in deducing the Five Elements True Technique, he suddenly sensed a disturbance in the spiritual Qi of Mount Mystic Tai.

After careful sensing, he realized that this change originated from the direction of Jiang Anran’s cave.

This immediately made him aware that today might very well be the day of Jiang Anran’s Nascent Soul formation..
