Gentlemen, it's time to enter the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

Chapter 64: One of the Three Daily Divinations is True
The Incense Burning Sect has a vast and complex lineage, encompassing medicine, divination, astrology, and all sorts of other disciplines. As a result, the sect has three mountains and five halls, among which the Seven Star Hall specializes in divination, and Mo Suixin is the chief disciple of the Seven Star Hall.

This girl's origins are also strange; she was an orphan girl whom the leader of the Seven Star Hall brought back from elsewhere because he had a premonition about her.

There have been rumors that she is the illegitimate daughter of the Seven Star Hall Master, but the truth of this remains unknown.

Mo Suixin was usually cold and aloof, only engaging in seclusion and cultivation, never interacting with her fellow disciples. Over time, everyone forgot about her.

Who knew that years later, Mo Suixin would suddenly claim that she had foreseen that the sect leader, Lu Xingzhou, would face a life-or-death calamity.

At the time, many disciples within the Incense Burning Sect thought she was talking nonsense.

You have to understand that Mo Suixin was only at the Qi Sea Realm at the time. Let alone predicting the fortunes of the sect leader, she couldn't even predict the future of any disciple of the Burning Incense Sect.

The art of divination is extremely profound and also extremely dangerous.

Su Chunyi only wanted to find out where Wei Changsheng was, but she accidentally implicated the monk Fang Yuan and suffered a backlash, almost losing her life.

Lu Xingzhou's cultivation level was above that of Monk Fangyuan, while Mo Suixin was just a minor cultivator at the Qi Sea Realm.

Others just thought she had lost her mind and was trying to get attention.

Only the head of the Seven Stars Hall insisted on reporting the matter to the sect leader.

To everyone's surprise, Mo Suixin's prediction actually came true.

Lu Xingzhou was prepared, which is why he escaped this calamity.

Since then, Mo Suixin's reputation has soared, and she naturally became the chief disciple of the Seven Star Hall. However, of the three divinations she performed each day, only one was true; the other two were of dubious authenticity.

People often fall into misfortune because they believe in divination too deeply.

In fact, the death of Wei Changsheng's chief disciple of the Longevity Hall was also inextricably linked to Mo Suixin.

That senior brother was exceptionally talented and had a bright future, but suddenly Mo Suixin foresaw his death.

Not long after, when that senior brother broke through his cultivation realm, his Dao heart shattered instantly, and he was ultimately destroyed, both his soul and spirit perished.

After this incident spread, many people privately discussed that if Mo Suixin hadn't calculated this divination, causing that senior brother to develop inner demons, he wouldn't have died at the crucial moment of his breakthrough.

Over time, Mo Suixin's popularity within the Incense Burning Sect declined, and everyone avoided her as if she were a plague.

Although everyone in the Incense Burning Sect regretted the accident, Wei Changsheng actually benefited from it.

With the death of the chief disciple of the Longevity Hall, he became qualified to compete for the position of the next chief disciple.

Exchanging the Heavenly Book Secret Technique for the Incense Burning Sect would be a great achievement, and Wei Changsheng's master went to great lengths to secure this job for him.

I originally thought this matter would be easy, but who could have predicted that so many twists and turns would occur along the way.

After being tormented by the monk Fang Yuan, Wei Changsheng even shattered his natal magic weapon. He had no choice but to rush back to the Burning Incense Sect for help, and his master instructed him to seek help from Mo Suixin.

"You are plagued by misfortune, and only she can help you now."

These were the words of Wei Changsheng's master, so Wei Changsheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and beg Mo Suixin for help.

Despite Mo Shimei's poor reputation within the sect, it wasn't easy to persuade her to join. Wei Changsheng had to make a huge sacrifice.

Fortunately, Mo Suixin, having accepted the bribe, was quite shrewd. The first of the three divinations was extremely accurate, precisely predicting when Chen Ye would arrive at Baihai Valley. It was just a pity that they set off too late, and despite their hurried pace, they could only catch up with Chen Ye as they entered the valley.

Now that we've entered Hundred Seas Valley, we must abide by the rules of this place; even disciples of the Incense Burning Sect cannot act recklessly.

However, the second divination was a bit outrageous, as Mo Suixin had Wei Changsheng say, "You've lost all your treasures."

Wei Changsheng was baffled, but could only give it a try.

Who would have thought that they had actually tested something, but Chen Ye immediately saw through their plan.

Wei Changsheng couldn't figure out where he had slipped up.

Now, only the third divination remains unconfirmed.

But this third divination was truly unbelievable. It was because Mo Suixin had predicted that Chen Ye would deliver the Heavenly Book Secret Technique himself, asking for nothing else.

Mo Suixin also found the divination result inexplicable and most likely wrong. However, the diviner must believe the result he has calculated; otherwise, the divination is meaningless.

Mo Suixin could only say to Wei Changsheng, "Senior Brother Wei, the divination is as it is, and I'm just being frank. You can believe it or not, it's up to you."

Wei Changsheng frowned and said, "So according to your third divination, I don't need to do anything, I can just wait here?"

Mo Suixin stopped talking; in her opinion, there was no point in saying anything more now.

After pondering for a long time, Wei Changsheng finally said, "Alright, since you say so, Junior Sister, then I'll wait a few days. However, although I won't go looking for trouble with Chen Ye, I think it's worth investigating. That cunning fellow has indeed lost some treasure, otherwise he wouldn't have reacted like that just now."

"If we find a clue, perhaps Junior Sister's third divination will be accurate. With him under our control, he will naturally have to hand over the Heavenly Book Secret Technique with both hands."

Mo Suixin said nonchalantly, "Senior Brother Wei, you go ahead and do it. I only know how to tell fortunes and interpret them; I dare not say anything else."

Wei Changsheng knew Mo Suixin's personality; he couldn't rely on his junior sister to gather information, so he had to do it himself.

Chen Ye had no idea that he was being targeted by a cultivator skilled in divination, and he had not yet fully calmed down.

When Wei Changsheng said he had lost his treasure, he was really afraid that Mo Ci would fall into Wei Changsheng's hands, so he was willing to give anything to get his master back.

But when Wei Changsheng was about to raise the price, Chen Ye knew he was lying and just trying to scare him.

As a rogue cultivator, what could Chen Ye possibly possess that would be more valuable than the Heavenly Book Secret Technique?

Anyone with a sound mind should be able to think of this and should agree immediately, at most gaining some verbal advantage.

But when Chen Ye agreed, Wei Changsheng not only didn't show any surprise, but instead seemed flustered and started to change the subject. Chen Ye then knew that this man was just a figurehead and the Ten Thousand Soul Banner was not in his hands at all.

However, despite his reasoning, Chen Ye's heart was still far from calm.

If Mo Cizhen were to fall into the hands of someone else, his fate would likely be very tragic.

Chen Ye wasn't afraid that Mo Ci would reveal his secrets; he was only worried that his master's soul had been destroyed and there was no possibility of resurrection.

"If I had the cultivation level of the Dao Integration Realm, I would have captured Wei Changsheng directly and thoroughly searched his soul." Chen Ye sighed and then temporarily forgot about the matter.

As he himself said, self-cultivation is the foundation of everything.

No matter who Mo Ci is in now, Chen Ye, a mere Qi Sea Realm cultivator, can't do anything about it.

What he should do now is to go into seclusion and cultivate, abandon all distracting thoughts, and first improve his cultivation level.

The scenery in Baihai Valley was beautiful everywhere, and Chen Ye was not picky. He randomly chose a deserted cave by a mountain stream and began to set up an array.

It's nothing powerful; it's just something to cover the entrance and serve as a warning.

After finishing these tasks, Chen Ye took out the yellow jade given to him by the monk Fang Yuan.

He is now at the Qi Sea Realm, and his Qi Sea is constantly rotating, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own. However, this Qi vortex is like a heartbeat, and its speed is difficult to control with willpower.

Therefore, meditation is useless, and ordinary elixirs rarely work on the Qi Sea; one can only rely on those unique secret techniques.

Chen Ye was to practice the secret technique of Cixin Temple—the Six-Syllable Mantra.

The incantation is recited using a special method, and the vibration of the sound causes the Qi Sea within the body to rotate, greatly increasing the speed at which the Qi Sea absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, one must be fully focused during cultivation; if one is distracted, it may cause the Qi Sea to shatter, and one's cultivation to regress instead of progress.

After studying it for a while, Chen Ye frowned and took out the notes that Su Chunyi had given him before. It was the notes on cultivation that had inspired him to condense two Qi Seas.

At the time, Chen Ye also wondered what would happen if the two Qi Seas rotating in the same direction merged together on their own, and what if they rotated in opposite directions.

Now that he had read the detailed practice instructions for the Six-Syllable Mantra, Chen Ye took out this notebook to compare them and found that the two had many similarities in subtle ways.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Ye had a bold idea.

Why not take this opportunity to try condensing a second Qi Sea?
