Chapter 4072: Divination

Old Man Jinlin made a grabbing motion with one hand, and the Golden Kylin Token flew towards him, landing in his palm. He infused it with immortal power, and the miniature kylin on the token's front seemed to come alive, emitting a dazzling red light and loud roars.

"Indeed, this is the Golden Kylin Token I issued," Old Man Jinlin confirmed with a nod. He then asked, "Madam Wang, what are your exact birth details? I need them to perform the divination for you. Also, you haven't concealed your cultivation level, have you? The world is vast, and there are many female cultivators born at the exact same time as you. It's possible some of them have also reached the Golden Immortal stage. If you're not precise, my divination might not be accurate."

"Fellow Daoist He," Wang Changsheng asked curiously, "if, as you say, someone else was born at the same time as my wife and also cultivated to the Golden Immortal stage, would the opportunity you divine actually be theirs?"

"If you're not precise, it's certainly possible," Old Man Jinlin replied. "In that scenario, you might not find the opportunity. The Immortal Realm is vast, and your current location might differ from theirs. If you're too far apart, you won't be able to find their opportunity at all. If you're very close, however, you might obtain it. Of course, this probability is negligibly low. To be safe, you should still tell me your true cultivation level."

Wang Ruyan nodded and stated, "I am at the Mid-Golden Immortal stage.""Follow me!" Old Man Jinlin instructed before flying off. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan promptly followed him.

Old Man Jinlin stood before a massive formation, thousands of feet in diameter. At its center stood an enormous cauldron shimmering with blue light, its body intricately carved with nine lifelike dragon patterns. The formation itself was inscribed with the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

He took out a brilliant golden sheet of paper, wrote down Wang Ruyan's birth details, and folded it into a golden paper crane. Then, he began to chant incantations.

"Seek-Fate Paper Crane, rise!" Old Man Jinlin exclaimed, sending a magic incantation into the golden paper crane. The crane's surface lit up with countless characters, displaying Wang Ruyan's personal details.

The golden paper crane rapidly expanded in size and flew towards the massive blue cauldron, circling continuously above it.

Old Man Jinlin sent another incantation into the blue cauldron, which immediately flared with spiritual light. A sound like crashing waves echoed as a large volume of blue seawater surged from within the cauldron. It began to spin rapidly, creating a powerful current that drew the golden paper crane into the cauldron.

With a deafening dragon roar, one of the blue dragons carved on the cauldron's body came alive and flew forth.

Old Man Jinlin nodded, understanding that the emergence of a dragon signified an opportunity; the more dragons that appeared, the greater the opportunity.

Soon, a second dragon flew out, followed by a third, fourth, and fifth. When the sixth blue dragon emerged, Old Man Jinlin's expression grew solemn. With a flick of his sleeve, a golden shimmering alms bowl flew out, instantly expanding and emitting a golden light barrier that enveloped the entire plaza.

The seventh dragon flew out, followed closely by the eighth. Old Man Jinlin was dumbfounded, barely daring to breathe, his gaze fixed intently on the massive blue cauldron.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan looked bewildered. They had seen Wang Qiulin perform divination before, but the methods were entirely different. They wondered if the divination techniques used by Golden Immortal cultivators were uniquely special.

The blue cauldron emitted a dazzling blue light as the ninth blue dragon flew out from its body. The nine dragons circled above the blue cauldron, emitting deafening roars, before slowly merging into one colossal true blue dragon.

"Nine dragons transforming into a true dragon... a great opportunity!" Old Man Jinlin murmured to himself, his expression growing even more solemn.

He formed a hand seal, and the true blue dragon opened its massive maw, spewing out a stream of blue light that enveloped the seawater within the cauldron, drawing it into its mouth. It then circled once in the air, opened its maw again, and shot out a blue water arrow. The water arrow spun rapidly before coming to a stop shortly after.

The true blue dragon transformed back into nine blue dragons, which then returned to the cauldron's body. Old Man Jinlin continuously formed hand seals, beginning his divination.

After a quarter of an hour, he flicked his sleeve, and the blue water arrow vanished. "Congratulations, Madam Wang, you have a great opportunity!" the old man said with a pleasant expression, his demeanor much friendlier than before.

"A great opportunity! Where is it?" Wang Ruyan pressed him.

"It's in a place with 'Nine Stars' in its name," he replied. "It has lush vegetation and abundant seawater. That's all I know."

"A place with 'Nine Stars' in its name, lush vegetation, and abundant seawater?" Wang Ruyan asked, her face full of confusion. "Fellow Daoist He, can you divine what exactly this opportunity is?"

Old Man Jinlin shook his head. "I cannot divine that," he said. "I have performed divinations for many Golden Immortal cultivators. Ten of them encountered great opportunities, and two of those have already advanced to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage. A great opportunity could be a high-grade immortal artifact, or encountering a Dao Artifact like the Qiankun Pagoda, or even immortal pills and herbs that can cultivate true spirits. What it specifically is, you will only know when you find it yourselves."

"Could it be the Nine Stars Immortal Realm?" Wang Changsheng wondered, his face full of curiosity.

A place with "Nine Stars" in its name and abundant seawater immediately made Wang Changsheng think of the Nine Stars Immortal Realm. "I don't know that," Old Man Jinlin responded. "You will have to find it yourselves."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist He. This is a small token of our gratitude," Wang Changsheng said, taking out a golden storage bracelet and handing it to Old Man Jinlin.

Old Man Jinlin waved his hand. "No need," he said. "My divinations are always based on the token, not the person, so there are no additional charges."

Wang Changsheng insisted repeatedly, but Old Man Jinlin still refused to accept it.

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoists," Old Man Jinlin advised, "I am only responsible for the divination and will not speak of this to others. Whether you obtain this great opportunity depends on your own capabilities. Of the ten Golden Immortal cultivators who had great opportunities, five have already perished on the path to finding theirs. Proceed with caution. This opportunity is not exclusively yours; others might also discover it. It would be best for you to find it as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist He," Wang Changsheng said, and he and Wang Ruyan departed. After leaving Golden Sun Peak, they immediately departed from Scarlet Sun City, not daring to linger.

One must always be wary of others; who knew if Old Man Jinlin would betray them? If other forces learned of their great opportunity, the situation could become complicated.

"Having a clue makes things easier," Wang Changsheng murmured to himself. "We just need to spend more time searching. I hope we can find it." They then transformed into two streaks of light and vanished into the horizon.

In Scarlet Sun City, on Golden Sun Peak, Old Man Jinlin held a golden shimmering Immortal Transmission Mirror, which displayed Ye Guangxue's image. "Fellow Daoist He," Ye Guangxue said politely, "our Old Ancestor wishes to invite you as a guest to Flowing Cloud Island. Would that be convenient for you?"

"I have important matters to attend to and cannot leave for now," Old Man Jinlin replied, "but I will certainly visit when I have time." He politely declined, chatted for a few more moments, then severed the connection.

"Could it be the third Grand Unity Golden Immortal?!" Old Man Jinlin murmured to himself.

He had once helped Fairy Liuyun divine an opportunity, and she had indeed encountered a great one. Afterwards, news spread that Fairy Liuyun had advanced to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage. As for what Fairy Liuyun's great opportunity was, Old Man Jinlin did not know.
