Chapter 4416: Butterfly Effect

"It could be that someone is divining the whereabouts of your Dao partner's relatives, which involves you, or they are divining things on your person, such as treasures, nascent souls, or spirit beasts," Qing Xuan explained.

"Could it be the Haotian Palace?" Wang Changsheng wondered. For the Green Lotus Cauldron of Creation to be alerted and act, the diviner must be at least a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. It was incredible that the Grand Unity Golden Immortals from Haotian Palace had found them so quickly, given that it hadn't been long since the Twin Yin-Yang Devils used the Yellow Millet Immortal Talisman to divert a large number of Grand Unity Golden Immortals to the Nine Yuan Sea Region, allowing their main bodies to escape the blockade. However, if the diviner had deduced their location, it would make sense. Wang Changsheng also carried Qin Xin's nascent soul; if he destroyed it, his soul fragment, stored on the Legacy Board, could alert Haotian Palace.

Wang Changsheng took out an exquisite golden jade box with a silver talisman affixed to it. He peeled off the silver talisman, opened the box, and retrieved a nascent soul that also had a golden talisman attached – it was Qin Xin's nascent soul. "Is it him?" Wang Changsheng asked. "How would I know? I'm not a diviner. If it didn't involve you, I wouldn't have been alerted. But don't worry, he's probably only a Grand Unity Golden Immortal and hasn't mastered the Law of Destiny, nor does he possess a divination immortal artifact refined from a Grandmist Spirit Treasure. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for me to block him," Qing Xuan said.

"When I was in the lower realms, I once asked a Body Integration stage diviner to tell my fortune, and it drew a lightning tribulation. Was that because of you?" Wang Changsheng asked, puzzled. "I was in a deep sleep at the time, so it had nothing to do with me. Most likely, it was Zen Master Mingren. The difference in cultivation levels was too vast; diviners suffer severe backlash when forcibly divining for those of much higher realms. You should store all the enemy nascent souls you've captured over the years inside the Green Lotus Cauldron of Creation. It's safer," Qing Xuan advised. Wang Changsheng nodded, placed the nascent soul back into the jade box, affixed the talisman, and put the jade box into the Green Lotus Cauldron of Creation.

"You can actually block a diviner's deductions! Can all Dao artifacts do that?" Wang Changsheng asked, surprised. "I don't know about others, but blocking a Grand Unity Golden Immortal's deduction is no problem for me. He was merely divining a heavenly secret that happened to involve you. If he directly divined your exact location, I wouldn't just be blocking him. A mere Grand Unity Golden Immortal who hasn't mastered the Law of Destiny dares to make such reckless deductions, unaware there are realms beyond his comprehension. If you were a Grand Unity Immortal, you wouldn't even need my help; you could block it yourself," Qing Xuan stated, a look of pride on his face. From his words, he clearly didn't think much of the other party. Not just anyone could be divined by a diviner. If the target involved an immortal of too high a cultivation level, at best they would be blocked, and at worst, the diviner would suffer severe backlash. Without this restriction, Grand Unity Golden Immortals could easily deduce the whereabouts of Grand Unity Immortals, which would throw everything into chaos.

"With your intervention this time, can the Black Onyx Jade珑石 withstand the consumption?" Wang Changsheng asked. He hadn't realized before that the Green Lotus Cauldron of Creation could block a diviner's deductions. "It was merely a block; it didn't consume much. If you store the nascent souls inside the Green Lotus Cauldron of Creation, I won't even need to act directly; they'll be automatically blocked. After all, he's just a Grand Unity Golden Immortal; his cultivation is too low," Qing Xuan explained.

"By the way, with your intervention this time, will the Dao Ancestor sense your location?" Wang Changsheng asked somewhat nervously. "I don't know. It was only for an instant, so I doubt it would be easy to deduce. I also don't know what methods the Dao Ancestor possesses. Even if my location was sensed, it's unlikely they could precisely pinpoint Golden鯤 City in the Golden鯤 Sea Region, right?" Qing Xuan replied truthfully. He had no direct contact with the Dao Ancestor and was unaware of the Dao Ancestor's full capabilities. Since his intervention was only for a brief moment, the Dao Ancestor wouldn't be able to quickly pinpoint his exact location.

"Forget it. To be safe, we should leave immediately. It's better to go to another sea region, the farther from the Golden鯤 Sea Region, the better," Wang Changsheng said. He had come to the Golden鯤 Sea Region to gather cultivation resources, but that paled in comparison to the safety of the Green Lotus Cauldron of Creation. If Wang Qiulin could deduce Yuan Tianshan's location in Qunyang City, then the Dao Ancestor might well be able to deduce the Green Lotus Cauldron of Creation's location in Golden鯤 City.

"That's fine. Better safe than sorry," Qing Xuan agreed, not objecting, and flew back into the Green Lotus Cauldron of Creation. Wang Changsheng put away the cauldron and walked out.

Wang Ruyan was seated in a blue stone pavilion, engrossed in an ancient book. "Husband, what's wrong?" she asked. "This isn't the place to talk. Let's leave Golden鲲 City first, and I'll explain on the way," Wang Changsheng replied.

After leaving the city, Wang Changsheng conjured a large green boat, and he and Wang Ruyan boarded it. He chanted an incantation, and the green boat glowed brightly, soaring into the sky and vanishing in a flash.

In a certain boundless black sea region of the Nine Stars Immortal Realm, there was a desolate island spanning ten thousand miles. The Qiankun Pagoda, Yiyan Hall, and the Grandmist List floated high in the sky, their spiritual lights flickering continuously. A dazzling spiritual light emanated from Yiyan Hall, and Yan Yinuo appeared. The artifact spirits of the Grandmist List and the Qiankun Pagoda also manifested. "It seems you've all sensed it. It appeared again, then vanished quickly," Yan Yinuo said with a solemn expression. "This is good news. It means it's still alive. We just don't know who possesses it," the old man in yellow robes said. "It appears to be severely damaged. If it were at its peak, there would be no need for it to conceal its presence," the young man in silver robes analyzed. "The Immortal Realm is vast; finding it won't be easy. But as long as it's alive, that's enough. Let's just hope the Yin-Yang monsters don't destroy it," Yan Yinuo said. Then, changing her tone, she added, "It's been over a million years since its last appearance. I think we can choose to reveal ourselves now; perhaps we can find clues about it." The young man in silver robes and the old man in yellow robes had no objections and agreed.

In the Ancestral Dragon City on the Chaos Continent, shops lined the streets, bustling with figures, mostly demon cultivators. A thunderous dragon roar echoed through the sky, and a large number of cultivators swiftly flew in one direction. Soon after, these cultivators hastily departed from Ancestral Dragon City, and many demon cultivators were dispatched, for reasons unknown.

In the central part of the Chaos Continent lay a vast, boundless emerald mountain range, where beast roars constantly echoed. Many Chaos Beasts, at least six-colored, could be seen there. Deep within the mountains, on a vast bluestone plaza, stood a colossal black tower, its body inscribed with countless profound runes. Hai stood before the black tower, which emanated a majestic male voice: "That thing has appeared again. Send more people and find it at all costs. If you cannot obtain it, destroy it. If an immortal acquires it, their power will surely increase greatly." "Lord Teng, do you have its exact location?" Hai asked. "No, it only appeared for an instant, and then its presence could no longer be sensed. It is too cautious. It's safe to say it isn't very strong, but it must be destroyed as soon as possible, or you will suffer," the black tower declared with an undeniable male voice. "Yes, Lord Teng. I will immediately contact the other tribes and ask them to help with the search," Hai replied, accepting the order before departing. Soon after, the twelve major tribes of Chaos Beasts dispatched a large number of their people, and various major forces heightened their vigilance.
