Chapter 1353: Half a Divination
Heavenly Prayer Continent, Heavenmend Sect.
The Rising Dragon Peak was enshrouded in a dense blanket of clouds, and there was a swirling vortex of black mist on the black stone altar on the mountain summit.
Inside the vortex was an elderly head that was suspended in mid-air with nothing to support it. The hair in front of its forehead had already been lost, while the hair on the back was looking very disheveled.
All of a sudden, the head's eyelids fluttered slightly before peeling back to reveal a pair of eyes, one black and one white, the latter of which was clearly blind.
The head looked up with its remaining functioning eye with great difficulty, right as a swirling, corkscrew-shaped cloud vortex descended from the heavens to land at the foot of the nearby peach tree.
The vortex then dissipated to reveal the same white-robed, middle-aged man as last time, seated on a wheelchair that looked as if it had been crafted from white jade.
"You already asked me to conduct divination for you last time, why have you come again?" the elderly head asked in a hoarse voice.
The wheelchair-bound man was none other than Gu Huojin.
"I'm feeling a little uneasy with the Bodhi Banquet coming up so soon, so I must ask you to perform another divination for me," Gu Huojin said.
"One more divination is all that separates me from full assimilation with the Heavenly Dao, and at that point, the promise that you made to me will no longer have any meaning to me," Chen Tuan said.
"This is something that concerns more than just you and me. If I succeed, I will have essentially elevated the Heavenly Dao so that it will no longer have any power over those of us who stand on the mountain summit. Are you not worried that all of our prior efforts with be for nought if you refuse to conduct this divination?" Gu Huojin asked in a calm manner.
