Chapter 801: Chapter 267: Heavenly Gifted Talisman

Luo Si relied on the guidance of Grey Bone Elder, continuously cultivating and gradually rising to power. Now, he has become the foremost general under the command of the Wanchuan Underworld’s lord.

Despite his high rank and power, he felt no attachment or pride. His heart for revenge grew stronger with his increasing strength, driving him nearly to madness.

At such times, he would come to the banks of the River of Oblivion to fish, using the river’s waters to wash away the vengeance that clogged his chest.

When he learned from Grey Bone Elder that he would face a catastrophe, he felt excited and thrilled instead. This meant he was finally one big step closer to his revenge!

The so-called catastrophe was not his main concern; what he yearned for was revenge, revenge!

So, at that time, he immediately wrote back to inquire about the details from Grey Bone Elder, asking how he should treat the destined person and how to ensure a favorable fate.

Grey Bone Elder replied, telling him to just treat them as usual. Any embellishment would be seen through and counterproductive.

Luo Si acted according to the Elder’s advice, fishing at the River of Oblivion’s bank for three days and nights, waiting silently.

Strangely enough, usually, there would be two or three ghosts passing by the riverbank, but during these three days, not a soul was seen.

Until Luo Si encountered Sun Lingtong!

At first glance, he thought to himself, “This person is only at Foundation Establishment. Could he be my destined lord? No, Grey Bone Elder mentioned I would meet a lifelong master; perhaps he’s just an intermediary.”

From the beginning, Luo Si regarded Sun Lingtong differently.

Although Sun Lingtong was merely at Foundation Establishment and quite young, his life experiences were extraordinarily rich, especially recently at the Thousand Peak Forest in Liangzhu Country. He almost personally participated in a clash involving Transforming Spirit level, witnessing it firsthand. Thus, for someone like Luo Si, a “small” Nascent Soul, his impression was just so-so.

It wasn’t like no Nascent Soul Cultivators had fallen on the Thousand Peak Forest battlefield!

Luo Si saw that Sun Lingtong, merely a Foundation Establishment, treated him with such composure and grace, calculating in his mind.

He strictly followed the Elder’s advice, maintaining his normal demeanor, continuing to cultivate as usual.

When his memory faltered, he saw the waves retreating, then noticed his spare fishing gear was in Sun Lingtong’s hands. He couldn’t help but find it even stranger, increasingly convinced of Sun Lingtong’s identity.

Sun Lingtong wanted to go to the Mortal World, to the Yin Tide Black Swamp Wetland. Luo Si thought, “Could it be that the person behind him is also interested in the Mortal World’s White Paper Immortal City? Since he covets the Mortal World so much… this is a great thing. If they don’t intervene in the Mortal World, how can I seek revenge in the future?”

Thus, Luo Si opened the door of convenience widely for Sun Lingtong.

However, the truth of these matters needn’t be spoken. Grey Bone Elder advised in his letter that many divination results become inaccurate if spoken of, introducing variables requiring a new divination in most cases.

But this matter couldn’t be left unmentioned, or there would be no favors later, so he vaguely hinted at the transcending of calamity.

Sure enough, both Sun Ning and his companion were very interested upon hearing this segment.

They were encountering such a thing for the first time.

“Grey Bone Elder?” Both of them remembered this name.

At the same time, they raised their guard significantly, wondering if this mysterious divination cultivator might figure out their true background.

In the Cultivation Hundred Skills, divination has always been a very secretive branch of expertise, difficult for typical cultivators to access.

Sun Lingtong looked at Luo Si, “You mean to say, I can help you transcend the calamity? How could I not know I have such an ability, I am just a small Foundation Establishment Cultivator, aren’t you overestimating me?”

Without a doubt, this was a test.

Luo Si shook his head, smiling, “I’m just following Grey Bone Elder’s advice, staying here for three days and nights, doing ordinary cultivation. This is already the third day, you are the only one I’ve encountered, if no one comes later, then it’s you.”

“As for your question, I’m also clueless. From my perspective, of course, the higher the cultivation level, the better.”

“However, combining our recent conversation, it seems my catastrophe is likely related to White Paper Immortal City.”

With that, Luo Si sighed slightly, “Generals often die on the battlefield. I have no family or friends in the Wanchuan Underworld, but I’ve risen smoothly without obstruction. This is extremely rare. I fear that as local powers of the Wanchuan Underworld, they were already aware of this battle in White Paper Immortal City, unwilling to take the lead, so they pushed me to this position to fill the void.”

Sun Ning and his companion both felt a stir in their hearts.

Sun Lingtong said, “If that’s the case, does Senior Luo Si still intend to serve the Wanchuan Underworld?”

Luo Si nodded, speaking solemnly, “Of course! First, White Paper Immortal City may be perilous, but I’m not certain it can’t be conquered. It must be tried. Second, having enjoyed this position of authority, naturally, there are responsibilities to bear. This is also my nature.”

Sun Lingtong circled in place, a playful expression, “Fascinating, truly fascinating.”

He was deeply intrigued.

He looked at Luo Si, “What if I change my mind right now, and don’t go play in the Mortal World, what would happen then?”

Luo Si thought to himself, “Play? You must have an important mission, surely heading to the Mortal World to investigate, right?”

Just as Luo Si was about to say it didn’t matter, he recalled Grey Bone Elder’s advice, and spoke naturally, “I think you should go. The reason you’ve changed your mind is nothing more than my words. By saying them, I add variables and change the predetermined path.”

“For the sake of transcending my calamity, I’ll forcefully send you there!”

“A mere Foundation Establishment like you can’t block my methods.”
