Chapter 17 Predestined Doom

"It seems that this time, I, the Daoist, have a good chance of breaking through to the Jiedan stage, right here in this cave!"

Celestial Calculator kept stroking his beard.

"You sure can brag. What if you can't break through?"

"If I can't break through, it means a villain has disrupted the mandate of heaven. That person will be plagued by misfortune and suffer a terrible death."

Celestial Calculator answered without hesitation.

Wan Lei picked up a stone, hefted it in his hand, and looked at Celestial Calculator:

"Oh, so you're saying, if I interrupted you when you were forming your core, I'd also suffer a terrible death?"

"More or less. Put the stone down first. I have a feeling you're up to no good."

Celestial Calculator looked at Wan Lei's malicious gaze and the stone in his hand, feeling uneasy all over.

"Then tell me my fortune. If it's not accurate, I'll use this stone to knock out your front teeth."

Wan Lei said with a wicked smile.

"A Heavenly Star of Solitude, early death, early reincarnation."

Swish... Pow!

"Ouch."

As soon as Celestial Calculator finished speaking, Wan Lei threw the stone, hitting him directly in the mouth.

"Say something nice!"

Wan Lei said with a grin.

Celestial Calculator rolled his eyes, "Alas, people can only listen to pleasant lies, but not to unpleasant truths. Alas, how sad, how lamentable."

"Screw your grandpa, according to you, I should just self-detonate right now, shouldn't I?"

"Go ahead, go ahead, but you better self-detonate far away from me. I'm taking little sister Man Yao to the Lightning Refining Pool."

Celestial Calculator hummed.

Wan Lei jumped over, grabbed Celestial Calculator by the neck, and pressed him to the ground.

"Little sister Man Yao is who you call her? Hurry up and tell my fortune, or you don't get paid!"

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you right now."

Celestial Calculator begged for mercy.

Qi Man Yao watched them fooling around, her face blooming with joy, covering her mouth and giggling, her big eyes crinkling into two little crescent moons.

She looked at Wan Lei's aggressive and arrogant manner, and became even happier. Suddenly, her pretty face turned red, and she quickly stopped laughing, her two big eyes rolling around, not knowing what she was thinking.

Celestial Calculator sat up, holding a Luo Pan compass, muttering to himself, mumbling some incantations, and Wan Lei once thought he was going to cast a spell.

A full quarter of an hour passed...

"Hey, old swindler, did you figure it out or not? If you can't, don't pretend."

Wan Lei, who had been waiting impatiently, urged him repeatedly.

However, Celestial Calculator's face, which had been closed-eyed for divination, became even more solemn.

Wan Lei and the others exchanged glances, wondering what Celestial Calculator had figured out.

Suddenly, Celestial Calculator suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, opened his eyes, looking weak, and staring at Wan Lei with a complex and shocked expression.

"Hey, old swindler, are you okay?"

Sui Xiaohang asked in surprise.

"I can't calculate it, I can't calculate it. Your fate is too deep, involving the origin of the Heavenly Dao.

The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. Those who violate the Heavenly Dao will inevitably suffer backlash. Just now, I violated the Heavenly Dao and suffered divine punishment."

Celestial Calculator hurriedly swallowed a healing pill.

"Tch, old swindler can't figure it out, so he starts acting."

Wan Lei curled his lips, his face full of disbelief, but his eyes still showed worry when he looked at Celestial Calculator.

"It's not that I'm acting, but your fate is indeed beyond my ability to calculate.

However, I have not been without gains after calculating for so long.

I have calculated that your destiny is full of twists and turns, full of disasters and difficulties. There are countless tribulations waiting for you in your life, and it will also implicate the people around you.

But your star of destiny is particularly bright, and I have seen through a trace of heavenly secrets. Your destiny is closely related to the destiny of this world."

Celestial Calculator sighed repeatedly.

"You've calculated for a long time, and it's about the same as what you said just now. I'm still a Heavenly Star of Solitude. But looking at your tone, can I still become a great power?"

Wan Lei asked with a frown.

Celestial Calculator nodded and shook his head, "To be precise, your fate is full of disasters and difficulties, and you are in danger of dying at any moment. Who knows which disaster you will die in.

But if you can keep living, the future will definitely be limitless.

Wan Lei, you must remember that no matter what happens in the future, no matter what tribulations you encounter, you must never give up hope of survival, you must grit your teeth and persevere.

Don't be discouraged, don't be lazy, even if the sky falls, you must carry it and move forward. Only in this way can you have a glimmer of hope to live to the end and turn bad luck into good luck."

It was rare for Celestial Calculator to speak so solemnly.

Qi Man Yao and Sui Xiaohang looked at Wan Lei suspiciously, and Wan Lei also looked at Celestial Calculator suspiciously and nodded, "Okay, I remember."

Regardless of whether Celestial Calculator's calculation was true or false, the words were correct. When facing despair, of course, one cannot give up hope.

The four of them rested for a while, and then continued to move forward according to the path calculated by Celestial Calculator.

They had been in the cave for most of the day, and now they were very close to the deepest part.

"From the outer area to the deepest part, there is only that one open road ahead that can be taken, and there is no other choice."

Celestial Calculator hid behind a rock, cautiously looking ahead.

"But, this road is blocked now. Good heavens, so many people."

Qi Man Yao also looked carefully.

At this time, on the only path ahead of them, thirty to forty people were confronting each other.

One side had fewer people, but the two leaders were not low in status. They were Qi Xiu, the number one genius of the Qi family in Qishan Prefecture, and Ba Ernu of the Ba family.

Behind them were a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators. It seemed that some of them were from their families, and some were rogue cultivators.

Qi Xiu's expression was indifferent, and he held his natal divine sword, which he never left, in his arms.

The little girl Ba Ernu had a sharp look in her eyes, holding a long knife, glaring at the people opposite.

Her knife was very similar in style to Wan Liuchuan's, but it was fiery red and particularly long. This knife was also upright, taller than Ba Ernu.

This made Wan Lei complain in his heart, why do these little girls like to use such sturdy weapons? Qi Man Yao also used a giant axe.

Opposite Qi Xiu and Ba Ernu, there were more than twenty people, all Foundation Establishment cultivators. The four leaders stood in a row, looking at the people from Qishan Prefecture with a sneer.

These four people were Feng Ze, a young man holding a water-blue curved bow, Kou Yong, a sturdy young man holding a shield in his left hand and a heavy sword in his right hand, Huang Ri, surrounded by flames and holding a long spear, and Qingyuan Xiaobei, a charming and seductive woman with a bewitching smile on her lips.

The four great geniuses of Guannan Prefecture were all present.

It seemed that the people from Guannan Prefecture had intercepted the people from Qishan Prefecture, and the situation on the Qishan Prefecture side was not good.

Qingyuan Xiaobei looked at Qingyuan Xiaobei, who was glaring at her, with seductive eyes, and let out a giggling laugh.

"Little sister Ba, why don't you surrender? As long as you agree to my sister's conditions, my sister guarantees not to hurt a hair on your head."
