Chapter 90: You Want to Divine the Future Too?

"Master, may I ask—what is your current cultivation realm?"

As soon as Li Qingran regained her composure, she immediately started gathering crucial information.

【This master…】

Chen Huai’an paused.

Since this was a free response, he could technically say whatever he wanted.

In the Cangyun Realm, the highest cultivation stage was the Mahayana Realm. Once a cultivator surpassed their tribulation, they would ascend to the Immortal Realm.

Claiming he was at the Mahayana Realm would be too ridiculous.

So…

Chen Huai’an hardened his resolve and made a bold choice.

【This master is currently at the Void Piercing Realm!】

The moment those words appeared, both the game world and the real world fell into a stunned silence.

Baji: "QAQ!!!"

【T-The boss is a Void Piercing Realm powerhouse?!】

【Wait—if he were truly at the Void Piercing Realm, he would’ve already seen through my true form!】

【Then… what exactly is the boss’s real cultivation? Why would he say that?!】

Baji curled into a ball, trembling in the corner.

The Void Piercing Realm was the stage right before Mahayana.

Cultivators at this level could already sense the Heavenly Tribulation they would face upon reaching Mahayana.

This was why it was also known as the Tribulation Stage or the Insightful Stage.

At this level, a cultivator had to contemplate their path forward—

If their Dao Heart was not firm enough, they would almost certainly die under the tribulation lightning.

And how did Chen Huai’an know this?

Because he had just randomly activated a Heavenly Divination.

The heavens trembled!

Countless sect elders and reclusive cultivators were thrown into shock!

"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord! It has been two days since that supreme expert last performed a Heavenly Divination—I thought something had happened to him!" ɽαꞐȮ฿ËꞨ

"Honestly, life felt a bit empty without it."

"What did he divine this time? I swear…"

"Damn it! Notify all sect disciples to be extremely careful in their actions—especially those infiltrating righteous sects! That all-seeing cultivator has returned!"

In the Law Enforcement Hall, where Su Qinian was currently getting flogged, he suddenly stopped mid-punishment and stared at the sky for a long time.

But Li Qingran didn’t care about the chaos unfolding in the world.

She was deep in thought about the significance of the Void Piercing Realm.

A realm beyond Fusion, yet beneath Mahayana.

At this stage, a cultivator could analyze Dao Laws, condensing the power of an entire world within their Mud Pill Palace, creating a miniature inner world.

Only Holy Land leaders were supposed to have this kind of terrifying strength.

Yet even a cultivator of this level was trapped in that alternate space—

It was proof of how dangerous the demonic beasts within must be.

If that was the case…

Then her master’s poison must be exceptionally difficult to cure.

A shadow loomed over her heart.

She was already preparing for the possibility that the Hundred Herb Detoxification Pill might not work.

But no matter what—she had to try.

"Understood, Master."

Li Qingran rose to her feet, bowed toward the ceiling, and declared,

"I will go discuss this with the Sect Master immediately!"

Then, clutching her bell, she hurried out the door.

Chen Huai’an scratched his head as he watched her rush toward the Sect Master’s Hall.

Only for her to find it empty.

Li Qingran furrowed her brows and anxiously paced in circles.

After some thought, she suddenly turned and rode her celestial crane to the Law Enforcement Hall.

Sure enough—

She found Sect Master Su Qinian standing at the entrance.

A row of disciples stood before him, faint traces of whipping marks on their backs.

Faint murmurs of conversation drifted through the air.

Ahem.

Now, regarding today’s events, you all—"

Sect Master, we saw nothing.

Yeah! We heard nothing either! You were just inspecting the Law Enforcement Hall today—nothing more!

Exactly! You definitely did not come here to get yourself whipped a hundred times! Hehehe~

Su Qinian’s face darkened instantly.

His eyes narrowed, settling on the last disciple who had spoken.

Then—

With a cold smirk, he said:

Laughing, are you? Showing disrespect to your superior?

Go get yourself a hundred lashes!"

The disciple’s grin immediately vanished—

And reappeared on Su Qinian’s face instead.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Li Qingran waited patiently for the disciples to leave.

Only when Su Qinian was about to fly away on his sword did she finally descend on her celestial crane.

She rushed up to him, bowed deeply, and said,

"Sect Master, I have an important matter to report!"

"Oh, Qingran, what is it?"

Su Qinian had already noticed her earlier, but to avoid suspicion, he pretended he had only just seen her.

With a fake, sword-cultivator-esque smile, he stroked his beard.

"Sect Master, I have been to the Scripture Pavilion. I obtained an ancient pill recipe that may help Master!"

Su Qinian nodded knowingly.

"Elder Jiong already informed me," he said with a grin. "That pill formula comes from an ancient alchemy master. His pills were famous for their simple refinement methods, complex ingredients, and incredibly effective results. The fact that you acquired his recipe—this is a tremendous opportunity for both you and your master."

Hearing this, Li Qingran’s face lit up.

She cupped her hands and added,

"Master also informed me that he is not in the Cangyun Realm—he is trapped in an alternate space and cannot receive direct assistance. However, he possesses a great divine ability that will allow him to retrieve the detoxification pills from my location."

"Oh?"

Su Qinian’s eyebrows lifted in genuine surprise.

"So he’s not even in Cangyun Realm? That means his cultivation level must be…"

"Master is at the Void Piercing Realm."

Silence.

A single leaf drifted onto a sword hilt.

Plop—!

Su Qinian’s sword fell to the ground.

He hurriedly bent down to pick it up.

Void Piercing…?

N-No wonder…

His voice trembled slightly, an unmistakable hint of excitement in his tone.

A Void Piercing Realm Senior Grand Elder?!

If they rescued him, then the Sword Pavilion could walk sideways across the Cangyun Realm!

As long as the Holy Lands didn’t interfere—they would be invincible!

No more fighting over resources.

No more beast-related problems.

Their guardian beast wouldn’t have to rip up the back mountain’s grass just because it was in heat!

They had to save him—at any cost!

Qingran, tell me all the ingredients required for the Hundred Herb Detoxification Pill!

With a serious expression, Su Qinian declared:

Saving our fallen Senior Grand Elder is our duty as Sword Pavilion cultivators! We shall spare no effort!

Chen Huai’an: "……"

Okay, sure.

This was touching and all—

But calling a Senior Grand Elder ‘fallen’ sounds a little inappropriate, don’t you think?

Su Qinian immediately led Li Qingran to the Medicine Garden, planning to verify the required herbs.

And if they couldn’t identify them—

He raised a jade tortoise shell and vowed:

"If the Medicine Garden elders don’t know these herbs, then I shall divine the future—even if it costs me my lifespan!"

Chen Huai’an, watching from outside the game:

"…Oh? So you wanna divine the heavens too?"

"Alright, let’s see what happens next."
