The old fortune teller returned with Amaterasu.

"Did you finish reading it?"

The old fortune teller looked at the two of them and asked with a smile.

"Yeah, I've finished reading it."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"I have some questions to ask you."

"Oh, so formal? Haha, then ask me, I want to listen."

The old fortune teller was happy.

"There was a man named Zhan who left behind words like 'The world is nothing' and said he wanted to take a different path."

Xiao Chen repeated all the words that Zhan had left behind from beginning to end.

"If anyone says that in the island country, I will definitely kill him... I represent the sky."

Amaterasu couldn't help but say.

“Heretical.”

Kyuubi commented again.

"Haha, not really."

The old fortune teller smiled.

"Freedom of speech. Everyone has different ideas. If everyone has the same ideas, what's the point?"

Xiao Chen was a little surprised to hear what the old fortune teller said.

You know, in his impression, the old fortune teller is the one who is most in line with destiny.

There is something about the secrets of heaven that cannot be revealed, the will of heaven that cannot be violated...these are the words that old fortune tellers always say.

He has been hearing it since he was a child!

"Old fortune teller, do you know this 'Zhan'? Who is he? Has he taken a different path?"

Xiao Chen looked at the old fortune teller and asked.

"He actually existed a little later than the Three Emperors. In fact, it was about the same time as the Nine-Tailed Fox."

The old fortune teller thought for a moment and said.

"As for whether he took a different path, I'm not sure. I just know that his final outcome was not good."

"What will happen?"

Xiao Chen was curious.

"It was struck by thunder."

The old fortune teller said slowly.

“Ninety-nine eighty-one divine thunderbolts blasted him into pieces…his soul was completely destroyed! The words left on the stone wall may be the only trace of him in this world.”

“…”

Xiao Chen was stunned. He subconsciously looked back at the stone wall, then looked up at the sky.

Is this... retribution?

No matter what the old fortune teller said just now about the Heavenly Dao Consciousness having thoughts, or the various insights on the stone wall, he did not have much idea about the Heavenly Dao Consciousness' thoughts.

I feel more that, just like the old fortune teller said, it is a process.

But now... he felt it was alive.

Otherwise, why would Zhan die so miserably!

“Is this true or false?”

Amaterasu was also a little bit unconvinced.

"It's absolutely true. That's how he died."

The old fortune teller nodded.

"Old fortune teller, are you trying to scare me into following fate?"

Originally, Xiao Chen had some ideas about the battle.

But when I heard that he died so tragically, that idea was shaken.

"No, he died in a thunderbolt."

The old fortune teller looked at Xiao Chen.

"Didn't you just ask me if he had taken a different path? I really don't know, but... he survived the thunder tribulation, he just didn't make it through."

"What's the meaning?"

Xiao Chen frowned.

"If he succeeds in overcoming the tribulation, it means that he has taken a different path, and this path is still the right one... Of course, if he fails, it doesn't mean that he didn't take this path, but he has failed."

The old fortune teller explained.

"Failure doesn't mean it's wrong. It may indeed...have been marked by the Heavenly Consciousness and retaliated."

“…”

Xiao Chen looked up at the sky again, and suddenly thought of a sentence - God has eyes.

It seems... it's true.

"Okay, don't think too much about it, go build your foundation with the Divine Grade."

The old fortune teller said nothing more, said something, and walked towards the center of the formation.

“Here I come.”

Xiao Chen responded and quickly followed.

He was a little excited as he was finally going to build a divine foundation.

"By the way, will there be thunder tribulations when building a foundation here?"

Xiao Chen asked after catching up with the old fortune teller.

"Of course, and it will be stronger than anywhere else. You'd better be prepared."

The old fortune teller glanced at Xiao Chen, feeling a bit gloating.

"I hope you can get through this."

"Is he your grandpa?"

Xiao Chen curled his lips, and thought about the outcome of the "war", which was somewhat traumatic.

Ninety-nine and eighty-one divine thunders, not even a trace is left!

Who would believe that there is no personal grudge or revenge behind this?

"Grandpa Tiandao, I was young and ignorant before, and I may have offended you... Now I have grown up, matured, and know how to follow the will of heaven."

Xiao Chen muttered to himself.

"Xiao Chen, what are you mumbling about?"

Amaterasu asked curiously.

"I'm communicating with the Heavenly Consciousness. I'm going to apologize to it. When you strike me later, use less force."

Xiao Chen replied.

“…”

The three old fortune tellers were speechless. They didn’t burn incense on normal days, but came to pray to Buddha when something happened?

"No matter if it's useful or not, I'm just looking for some psychological comfort. What if it works?"

Xiao Chen grinned.

"As long as you are happy."

The old fortune teller shook his head, his eyes swept across the deepest part of Kunlun Xu, and quickly moved away.

Soon, the four of them arrived at the place where Xiao Chen had sensed the rules of heaven and earth before. This was not the center of Kunlun Xu, but the center of the formation.

Because of the formation, the rules of heaven and earth here are also the strongest place in Kunlun Xu.

Therefore, the old fortune teller planned to let him build his divine foundation here.

"Take out everything. Have you memorized the instructions?"

The old fortune teller asked.

"Uh-huh."

Xiao Chen nodded and took out the essence of the five elements and other things.

He did not hide anything. At this time, he used everything he could.

If not now, when?

As long as one can build a foundation with divine items, it will be worthwhile to use any precious item.

The old fortune teller also took out a lot of things and placed them all in front of Xiao Chen.

Afterwards, he set up another small formation within the large formation.

"Remember, the thunder tribulation is not the end."

The old fortune teller warned.

“Don’t let your guard down.”

"I see."

Xiao Chen nodded, feeling quite nervous.

"What about you guys? Aren't you watching from the side?"

"Yes, but we can't get involved, so everything still depends on you."

The old fortune teller said seriously.

"Especially during the thunder tribulation, no one can help you, including me... Once I intervene, the power of the thunder tribulation will increase dramatically, and that will not help you, but harm you."

"I can handle it myself."

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"When does it begin?"

"Now."

The old fortune teller said this as he retreated with Amaterasu and the Nine-Tails.

"Hold on to Yuan Yi and try to build your foundation. Don't suppress it anymore."

"good."

Xiao Chen nodded and activated the 'Chaos Art', no longer suppressing his cultivation or his spiritual power.

boom.

Xiao Chen's body trembled violently, and his cultivation and spiritual power poured out like a flood.

“Hmm…”

Xiao Chen groaned in pain. His meridians and dantian felt violently torn, as if they were about to break apart.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a tingling sensation in his upper dantian, causing his vision to go dark.
