Chapter 98 Divination: We're All Going to Heaven

Asking the dead to do the work?

If it were anyone else, Wang Quan and the others wouldn't even glance at it, but this was Yuan Baihe, a member of the Yuan family.

Perhaps this is not clear enough; to be precise, it was after Yuan Tiangang.

Yes, it's that legendary figure who collaborated with Li Chunfeng on the Tui Bei Tu (a prophetic book), calculating the past and the future.

He even saw Wu Zetian as an infant and directly predicted that Yuan Tiangang would become the first female emperor in the history of the Chinese nation.

He himself was one of the sages of the human race, and Yuan Baihe, as his descendant, naturally also possessed the ability to deduce.

"I used to think that dead people were zombies, and I was wondering if they were the undead race, but after seeing them, I'm sure they aren't."

He was full of doubt: "Baihe is still inexperienced and really can't think of any way, so I came here to ask you senior uncles for help."

This is related to divination.

Wang Quan looked at Wenren Yu.

Fang Jue also looked at Wenren Yu.

Hu Wanli followed suit and looked, adding Yuan Baihe to the list. Wenren Yu remained expressionless, simply squatting down and taking out three copper coins from his pocket.

"A dead person, since it's a dead person, it should be the Qian hexagram."

He shook the copper coins, making a clattering sound, and soon a divination result appeared.

"The Qian hexagram!"

It's amazing, the divination result was exactly the same as what he said.

However, Wenren Yu's expression was solemn: "The upper trigram is Qian (乾), which signifies ascension to heaven."

He was about to pinpoint Shi Ying's location, but the next second, a footprint ran past, erasing all traces of Shi Ying.

Chen Ren hurried past, seemingly oblivious to who was beside him. Damn it, Sanfu Town is about to suffer losses!

Someone was drained dry by the zombies; he didn't see it until quite some time had passed.

Fortunately, he was still alive and was saved by his sword.

At this moment, Wenren Yu saw that the footprints had been wiped away, which meant that there was neither me nor the external environment.

Under what circumstances are these not present? Only when there are dead people.

Wenren Yu became even more certain: "We're all going to die."

"Fellow Daoist, don't speak recklessly!"

Fang Jue quickly covered his mouth: "You fortune tellers, most of what you say comes true!"

"Don't worry, this was Yuan Baihe's father's plan first, I'm just interpreting it."

He racked his brains, but couldn't see any sign of life.

But just then, the sky broke through, and a sliver of pale light shone down.

"External support? Wait! There's a chance!"

Wenren Yu stared at the hexagram: "No matter how bad the Qian hexagram is, it is still the Qian hexagram, the first of the eight trigrams. Qian above represents heaven, and on earth it represents pearls, jade, and emperors. At worst, it is just a corpse."

"Moreover, the hexagram's energy is pure and clear, making it a top-tier hexagram."

He scratched his head, completely isolating himself from external distractions, just like this divination:

"You guys need to help me figure this out. You can even use AI on your phone to look it up."

"It's too late, Uncle-Master! Dawn is breaking, and those black zombies are coming!"

Yuan Baihe was terrified: "Why don't you take me with you and escape? My father said this time it's all just a close call, I should be able to survive."

Just then, a loud shout echoed across the battlefront:

"Everyone in Sanfu Town, come back quickly! We're closing up business and heading back to the city!"

Chen Ren began pulling his own men one by one, and the sight of the approaching black zombies terrified him.

As dawn broke and visibility improved, he realized that the royal city was completely surrounded by countless zombies.

Among them are many flying zombies, and there are definitely zombies that burrow into the ground as well. They truly have nowhere to go but to heaven and nowhere to go but to hell!

Chen Ren ran back and forth, shouting, while Wenren Yu stared at him, her eyes growing narrower and narrower.

"Qian represents the highest, the purest, and the head..."

He suddenly looked up: "I understand!"

"What have you realized?"

Wang Quan held him tightly: "Speak up, or I'm running away."

Hu Wanli said the same thing: "I came here first to wait for the young master of my five families. She hasn't arrived in Xiaoqing Kingdom yet, so I definitely have to go pick her up. It seems that taking her back is the most important thing now."

Wenren Yu's expression remained unchanged, but her tone was extremely rapid: "To deal with such sinister creatures as zombies, the most powerful force is actually the Shangqing Palace."

"Their celestial light is pure and pristine, specifically designed to subdue filthy and evil creatures like zombies. Do you know who is buried in this royal city?"

Who?

They were taken aback at first, then suddenly realized: "You mean, Qing Rendou, who was buried in the imperial mausoleum two years ago?"

"Qing Rendou, a second-generation disciple of Shangqing Palace and also a prince of Xiaoqing Kingdom, was only brought back with his head after that battle. He didn't die..."

"Wait, you mean that although Qing Rendou is dead, he was still a disciple of Shangqing Palace, and he has only been dead for two years. His body should still have Shangqing Immortal Light on it."

"By the way, Qingren had already reached the first level of Foundation Establishment when he died, and the Shangqing Immortal Light was enough to protect us."

Thinking of this, Wenren Yu immediately rushed towards the imperial mausoleum: "I'm going to dig up the graves, you guys hold off those black zombies for now!"

The three of them stopped them?

Hu Wanli's lips twitched slightly: "Forget it, we're at the peak of the second realm after all, we won't die anytime soon."

They seemed to have said a lot, but in reality, they spoke very quickly, only for a few seconds.

As the black zombies were about to reach the front lines, the group gritted their teeth and charged forward to block them.

"Snapped!"

A few seconds later, the three men, coughing up blood, were beaten back.

"brute!"

Hu Wanli roared, "Again!"

He got beaten back again...

"Are you confused? Just pull them apart."

Fang Jue cursed, his whole body radiating golden light, successfully attracting the attention of several black zombies.

Eating the ninth level of Qi Refining is far more tempting than eating those miscellaneous fish. Normally, they probably wouldn't be tempted, but now that the God of the Year is activating the karmic force of calamity, their minds are no longer functioning properly.

Hu Wanli was jolted awake by the scolding. After realizing what had happened, he grabbed the black zombie and ran in the opposite direction.

Their goal was not to kill the Black Zombie, but to wait for Wenren Yu to lead the way back from the Imperial Mausoleum.

As soon as the black zombie was pulled away, Chen Ren suddenly realized that the zombie horde was under control again.

The cultivators were no longer afraid, and as dawn broke, some cultivators even came out of the city. They were being more rational, fearing that going out at night would be dangerous.

They're all a bunch of old cunning bastards. If it weren't for the Year God triggering the calamity, who knows how long they would have had to hide.

"Wait, let's not go back yet, let's keep working!"

Nobody turns down money.

In particular, Chen Ren received his first "commission".

Rollo and his team ran back and forth, taking a 10% cut from each zombie they encountered.

The zombies in the first realm are alright; at most, they contain 1/10 of the spirit stone powder.

However, the second realm doubles the reward, and the most powerful ones even receive half a spirit stone.

As the initiator, Chen Ren also enjoys 1/5 of the reward fee. In total, he can get 1/50 of a first-level zombie.

Don't underestimate this small amount; with nearly a hundred people working in Sanfu Town, he's guaranteed to earn at least one spirit stone per session.

Not to mention the corpses of second-stage zombies inside. After one night, the spirit stone powder in Chen Ren's hand was as thick as a flour sack.

"Back then... I didn't have that kind of opportunity..."

Chen Renai couldn't put it down, and his eyes began to harden.

Suck it!

He aims to reach the pinnacle of all his realms by the end of the year! Perhaps even—break through to the second realm!
