At that moment, the demons outside let out a piercing scream.
There was no choice; I could only continue to focus on blocking the demons outside. However, my attention had already been diverted by Furball, and I found myself occasionally glancing back at him.
Was this the power of the Mouth of Fate?
The two major sects were difficult to fathom...
One was the Mouth of Fate, and the other was the Soul Demon!
The Soul Demon sought fortune in the mountains, capable of severing the flow of destiny. Especially with their cultivation of Killing Intent, they walked a path that was both violent and ambiguous, teetering between good and evil. At that moment, he merely gazed wistfully at the rain outside the window for a long time before finally lifting his cold bitter tea to take a sip. The Soul Demon was indeed one of the most unique sects in our line of work, often becoming a target for criticism. Yet, it was essential to maintain one's original intent; a thought for good could bring blessings to all, while a thought for evil could lead one to become a demon on the spot!
On the other hand, the Mouth of Fate was an extraordinary sect!
Indeed, I completely failed to comprehend this discipline!
Human fate is more difficult to sever than the fortunes of mountains and rivers. This sect delves into the paths of human destiny—an enigmatic and profound subject that inspires both awe and respect.
According to the records in Mausoleum Secrets, those from the Mouth of Fate undergo a process of gradual accumulation. In the early stages, they do not reveal themselves; they can only see a person's past, but their predictions for the future may not be accurate. This is because people have countless potential futures. A single decision made in the present can influence the entire trajectory of one's future. Most practitioners of the Mouth of Fate can only observe one aspect but cannot see the whole picture. Thus, there are instances where those from the Mouth of Fate cannot accurately predict outcomes. However, once a practitioner truly masters this art, their methods will astonish even demons!
Take Furball, for example—a creature akin to a sacred artifact, comparable to that of a master. Yet its methods are elusive; with a single divination, it can even kill or alter the balance of yin and yang and reverse the principles of Bagua. Even masters find themselves troubled by it; unfortunately, Furball is still quite young!
Destiny—this is the principle governing human fate and existence itself. If it were severed, could a person still live?
Absolutely! The waters of the Mouth of Fate run particularly deep and are shrouded in mystery. It is said that they can forcibly alter one's fate, though it seems that such actions come at a terrible cost!
As for how those from the Mouth of Fate reverse-engineer Divination Setup for combat purposes, no one really knows. For over a century, few have transcended mere fortune-telling and divination to reverse-engineer Divination Setup for battle; Bai Ze is one such exception. His fortune-telling has reached its peak—capable of predicting death through divination and reversing yin and yang with flair!
So then, could it be that Furball is currently performing divination to kill or reverse yin and yang?
I felt a bit uneasy, particularly worried about the safety of this child. To reverse the principles of the universe and alter the yin and yang elements—just hearing about such things was frightening. Could a mere ten-year-old like Furball really manage it?
I was both excited and anxious. The excitement stemmed from the possibility that if Furball could truly manipulate the hexagrams to kill and reverse the yin and yang, he must have received genuine teachings...
However, at that moment, Furball appeared remarkably calm. His hands moved across the ground with increasing intensity, each trace seeming to carry an enigmatic power. In the air, pieces of the Taiji Diagram floated like dancing celestial bodies, eventually emitting a faint golden glow, resembling the light of dawn.
A magical artifact?
Yes, this Taiji Diagram was a treasure; it must be a magical tool that I had simply failed to recognize before!
This should be something Furball possessed inherently. Long ago, when the river brought forth images and the Luo River produced texts, Taiji hung in balance.
At that moment, Furball finally stopped his movements!
He slowly raised his head, revealing a smile akin to that of a human. His eyes, resembling black gemstones, shone brightly as he pronounced each word deliberately: “Qian represents heaven, Kun represents earth, Xun represents wind, Zhen represents thunder, Kan represents water, Li represents fire, Gen represents mountain, Dui represents marsh. With yin and yang in reverse, Bagua seal!”
As he finished speaking, the eight floating Taiji Diagrams surged upward, enveloped in a faint golden light as they rushed toward the King Ghost Child. Though they were merely eight circles of light at that moment, they carried an inexplicable might. As they tore through the air, a sound reminiscent of wind and thunder accompanied them. The eight Tai Chi Auras swiftly surrounded the King Ghost Child and began to spin rapidly around him.
“Ah!”
The King Ghost Child roared in response, unleashing a chillingly long scream. Its four fangs glinted menacingly as it launched itself toward the Qian Hexagram.
The speed of the King Ghost Child was astonishing—like a cannonball being fired—it charged forward with tremendous force. While I was entangled with those ghosts, I caught this scene out of the corner of my eye. Honestly, even I felt a pang of anxiety for Furball!
He was altering the yin and yang elements and reversing the Bagua; if his Divination Setup were to be broken, it could backfire on him!
However, it seemed I was overthinking it. The Mouth of Fate's lethal Divination Setup was incredibly powerful. Although the King Ghost Child was formidable as well, it couldn't shake Furball's Divination Setup at all. When they collided, the white Tai Chi Aura representing the Qian Hexagram remained completely unmoved while the King Ghost Child was directly rebounded!
Furball didn't fare much better either; this impact from the King Ghost Child visibly paled his complexion!
"Looking for death!"
Furball bit down hard and coldly spat out those two words. His hands quickly began to form a series of intricate gestures as he shouted, "Warriors, assemble before me!"
This was the Six Harmonies Secret Blessing, also known as the Six Character Mantra, which contained supreme divine power. It was said to be a deciphered divine script capable of suppressing Evil Spirits. Even those unfamiliar with Mayi Divination could protect themselves from being possessed by ghosts if they shouted the Nine Character Mantra when haunted.
In short, the Six Harmonies Secret Blessing was powerful!
With each shout from Furball, his face paled further, but the eight pieces of white turtle shell on his back shone even more brilliantly with golden light.
As soon as the Nine Character Mantra was uttered, the eight pieces of white turtle shell flew directly toward the encircling King Ghost Child, striking it like a torrential storm. They adhered without falling off, enveloping the King Ghost Child in a faint golden glow, surrounded by righteous energy that immediately suppressed it.
"Ah!!"
The King Ghost Child let out a piercing scream, but it was of no use. The eight pieces of Tai Chi Aura acted like shackles, rendering it completely immobile!
Thud!
At that moment, Furball seemed to have exhausted all his strength and collapsed onto the ground. Under the dim moonlight, I noticed he was already drenched in sweat. Clearly, performing this killing Divination Setup was quite taxing for him; he looked as if he had just taken a bath. Breathing heavily, he took about three seconds to catch his breath before struggling to lift his head and shouted at me, who was still in shock beside him, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and kill it!"
