Chapter 1299: Heavenly Secrets
There was a strange continent called the Heavenly Prayer Continent in the Middle Earth Immortal Region.
The local cultivators of the continent didn't spend their time cultivating or refining pills and treasures. Instead, everyone was enamored with the art of divination.
Through their divination, they gleaned the fates of others, predicting the course of their Great Dao and the future heights that they could potentially reach.
In the mortal world, divination had been used to find those who were blessed with a regal destiny, and those people could be supported into fulfilling their destiny of founding mortal empires, thereby granting their backers tremendous profits.
As for those in the cultivation world, they used divination to find bright prospects with an aptitude for cultivation, and some who were particularly skilled in this art were even able to take a child that hadn't yet begun cultivating and glean the heights that they would ultimately be able to reach. Equipped with this skill, these people helped immortal sects search for cultivation prodigies in exchange for handsome compensation.
The prosperity of the Heavenly Prayer Continent could be in large part attributed to the largest sect on the continent, a sect by the name of the Heavenmend Sect.
Just this one sect alone presided over half of the Heavenly Prayer Continent, and the sect had been in existence for countless years, with countless disciples under its prestigious manner.
It was no exaggeration to say that all of the divination techniques under the heavens could have their origins traced back to this sect.
Additionally, the Heavenmend Sect also had a secret technique that involved using quintessential divine rocks to refine various objects with clairvoyant abilities, the most renowned of which was the Chaotic Myriad Spirit Roll, an object that was able to predict the emergence of Profound Heavenly Treasures.

Before the Profound Heavenly Spiritslash Sword first appeared in the Spirit Realm, the Chaotic Myriad Spirit Roll had already displayed a premonition and even pointed out the area in which the Profound Heavenly Treasure was set to emerge.
Whenever cultivators of the Heavenmend Sect left their sect to travel the world, they often concealed their own identities, or posed as cultivators of other sect to avoid the attention of those who wished to force them to use their powers of clairvoyance against their will.
