Upon hearing Lu Yin's question, Feihua mocked him, "You believe in such things?"
Lu Yin ignored her and looked at Mister Liu Ye, who replied, "Divination is more like a form of speculation. We haven't really come into contact with such things."
"This is the Minor Thousand Flowzone, and the only sect that exists here is the Starsibyl Sect. The Starsibyl Sect relies on divination for a living."
The moment they entered the Minor Thousand Flowzone, Liu Ye and Feihua had felt that something was off, but they could not pinpoint what it was.
They could not shake off the feeling that they were being watched, and they could not figure out what it was. It was as if the entire Minor Thousand Flowzone was a pair of eyes.
Starsibyl arrived to welcome Lu Yin.
"Brother Lu, I didn't expect you to come." Starsibyl smiled when she saw Lu Yin.
Lu Yin smiled back. "Why? You didn't divine it?"
Starsibyl revealed a beautiful smile. "My Starsibyl Sect has never been able to divine Brother Lu's whereabouts, so it's not strange." She then looked at Liu Ye and Feihua with a much more respectful expression. She slowly bowed. "Starsibyl greets the two seniors. It's been a tiring journey."
"It's just a short journey. What's so tiring about it?" Feihua casually asked.
Starsibyl smiled. "Most people won't be able to complete this journey in their lifetime." She then led Lu Yin and Liu Ye and Feihua onto Starsibyl.
After sending Liu Ye and Feihua away, Lu Yin spoke to Starsibyl alone. "Do you know who I am?"
Starsibyl did not understand. "What are you referring to?"
Lu Yin solemnly replied, "The Lu family of the Astral Tree."
Starsibyl's expression did not change. "Brother Lu, do you remember the last time we met? We talked about conflicting fates.
We are worried about conflicting fates for those who come for divination, and the same goes for us. No matter what we know, we will not reveal it, so Brother Lu need not worry. "
"You didn't answer my question directly. Do you know who I am?" Lu Yin asked again.
Starsibyl met Lu Yin's gaze, her resplendent eyes as beautiful as ever. "Divination is about karma and relationships. It's not mystical enough to see through everything about a person."
Lu Yin nodded.
"Brother Lu, why have you come?" Starsibyl asked.
Lu Yin asked, "What's the price for asking you to perform a divination?"
"That will depend on what Brother Lu wants to divine. The last time I invited Brother Lu here, Master said that we should form good karma. I also want to form good karma with Brother Lu." Starsibyl smiled.
Lu Yin replied, "You've already helped me the last time when you divined the location of the Southern Margin's director."
"I'm willing to give Brother Lu even more good karma. Brother Lu is worth the Starsibyl Sect's efforts," Starsibyl said.
Lu Yin did not want to owe the Starsibyl Sect anything. He had heard that the more he was involved with people and matters related to divination, the more troublesome it would be. "Tell me your conditions, or else I won't be able to ask."
Starsibyl was helpless. "It looks like Brother Lu is still prejudiced against my Starsibyl Sect. Since that's the case …" She then turned serious and continued, "I need a promise from Brother Lu."
"What promise?" Lu Yin was curious.
Starsibyl's eyes were focused. "One day in the future, humanity will face the greatest calamity in history. I hope that Brother Lu will do his best to preserve a trace of our Starsibyl Sect so that the name of the Starsibyl Sect can be passed down."
Lu Yin raised a brow. "Humanity will face a calamity in the future?"
Starsibyl had a complicated look in her eyes. "I don't know. Divination involves divining the years, seeing the future, and seeing through the past. However, neither Master nor I can see a certain future. It's as if everything related to humanity will be severed during that period of time. This is not a good thing. At the very least, my Starsibyl Sect will not be able to connect with our future selves."
Lu Yin did not understand what she was saying. "That day will not come. Even if it does, I will do my best to accomplish it."
"Then I'll thank Brother Lu in advance. What is it that you wish to know this time?" Starsibyl asked.
Lu Yin solemnly replied, "Back then, Big Sis had a falling out with Leon's Armada, and she led a group of people to form the Big Sis Mercenary Group. They entered the Innerverse, but Zuo He accused my surname of being illegal and banished the Big Sis Mercenary Group. In the end, seventy-two lives were lost, and the Leo Clan was implicated as well. I would like to ask you to divine the truth of this matter."
Starsibyl was puzzled. "Hasn't this matter already been investigated?
Leon's Armada declared war on the Mastiff Society after Big Sis Mercenary Group returned. Both sides have yet to stop fighting, and the Mastiff Society has suffered heavy losses. They're constantly recruiting people from the Innerverse and Neoverse. "
Lu Yin's expression was gloomy. "On the surface, it's over, but I recently found out that the Leo Clan ambushing Big Sis Mercenary Group is related to Chaosgod Mountain. Chaosgod Mountain is also related to the Mastiff Society. There must be more to this matter, and I want to know more about it."
Starsibyl nodded. "Understood. Please wait a moment, Brother Lu."
This divination was clearly more troublesome than the previous one, and Lu Yin had to wait much longer as well.
Even though he had taken the initiative to ask Starsibyl for a divination, he still did not believe in divination. However, his previous experience with the Starsibyl Sect had left him unable to see things clearly, so he was still in a state of disbelief.
In fact, he was more willing to believe in divination, as it was information rather than seeing the future and the past.
Starsibyl had once said that divination involved cutting off the river of time, but Lu Yin did not believe her. If the Starsibyl Sect could really do something like that, they would not have stayed in the Innerverse for so long.
"Brother Lu, divination is unable to uncover the entire matter, but I did manage to divine a surname that Brother Lu did not mention earlier," Starsibyl said when she saw Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "What surname?
“。
Starsibyl's gaze turned cold. "Xia."
Lu Yin was shocked. "Xia?"
Starsibyl nodded. "When I started divination, the surname Xia appeared in my mind and could not be erased. However, if I wanted to delve deeper into the matter, I could not do so. I can confirm that this matter is related to Xia."
Lu Yin fell into deep thought, and Starsibyl left to give him some time alone to think.
Not long after, Lu Yin contacted Sage Leon and asked if Leon's Armada had any connections with the Xia family.
"Xia?
How did they get involved?
How is my Leon's Armada related to the Xia family? How do you know that it's related to the Xia family? "
"I'm in the Starsibyl Sect."
"Idiot, you actually believed someone like that. If you have so much free time, why don't you accompany me for a drink?"
"Captain, Leon's Armada is backed by Eternal Sky Island. Do you think that this matter is related to the Elysian Heavenly Master and Xia Ji?" Lu Yin suddenly asked. He was trying to deduce the situation from the bottom up.
The Leo family, Chaosgod Mountain, the Tyrant Regiment, and the Xia family all corresponded to the Big Sis Mercenary Group, Leon's Armada, and Eternal Sky Island. If it was related to the Xia family, then Lu Yin could only think of Xia Ji. Otherwise, why would they oppose Eternal Sky Island?
Highsage Leon fell silent. He had started his apprenticeship on Eternal Sky Island and founded Leon's Armada. Speaking of which, Leon's Armada had nothing to do with Eternal Sky Island, and the Elysian Heavenly Master did not recognize it as a group of pirates. However, if something happened to Leon, the Elysian Heavenly Master would not sit idly by. If the Xia family was related to this matter, then the only place that could implicate them was Eternal Sky Island.
"Wait." Leon immediately contacted the Elysian Heavenly Master.
Not long after, he replied, "Master says that he has no enmity with Xia Ji."
Lu Yin's head hurt, and he felt like he could not continue investigating. The Xia family had mysteriously gotten involved, and there was no reason for them to do so. Chaosgod Mountain, the Tyrant Regiment, and the Longevity's Armada. How had these powers allied together?
Chaosgod Mountain had no reason to deal with Leon's Armada.
He contacted Starsibyl again, but she shook her head. "I've already divined everything that can be divined. Divinations cannot be made out of nothing, and there needs to be clues. Otherwise, the river of time is endless, and finding a needle in a haystack is harder than finding a needle in a haystack."
Lu Yin muttered to himself. Xia Ji had no reason to deal with the Elysian Heavenly Master, nor did he have any reason to become enemies with Eternal Sky Island. Could Starsibyl have made a mistake in her calculations?
He looked at Starsibyl suspiciously. "Then, can I have a chat with your master?"
Starsibyl smiled gently. "Does Brother Lu not trust me?"
Lu Yin coughed. "No, it's just that I was in too much of a hurry to communicate with your master, and I wanted to meet him again."
Starsibyl replied, "Brother Lu, my divination and my master's results are the same. Brother Lu, you have no clue about this matter, and you want to use divination to find new clues. However, divination is not omnipotent, and it's already not bad that you were able to find out about the Xia surname."
Lu Yin sighed. If the Starsibyl Sect's divination was correct, then this matter really was related to the Xia family. Xia Ji had no enmity with the Elysian Heavenly Master, so what about the rest of the Xia family?
Lu Yin laughed. The rest of the Xia family had no right to scheme against Eternal Sky Island, not even the head of the Xia family.
Suddenly, Lu Yin thought of something. Could Xia Ji have learned the Nine Clones Technique?
During the contest for the Star Tower and the battle in the Mountain and Sea Realm, Xia Jiuyou had revealed his Nine Clones Technique, which had shocked the universe. Starsibyl had also learned it, and it was then that everyone had confirmed that Progenitor Chen's Nine Clones Technique truly existed. However, besides the two of them, no one else had cultivated it.
The rest of the Xia family also did not know the Nine Clones Technique.
At that time, everyone had thought that the Nine Clones Technique had been created by Progenitor Chen, but in reality, how could he have done so when he was young? It had come from the Shenwu Plane of the Astral Tree. Then, could Xia Ji have learned the Nine Clones Technique?
Xia Ji himself had no enmity with Eternal Sky Island, so could it have been one of his clones that had plotted everything?
No one else had the right to scheme against Eternal Sky Island.
When he thought of this possibility, Lu Yin immediately sought out Starsibyl.
"I have a question, but I'm not sure if I should ask," Lu Yin hesitated.
Starsibyl smiled. "Please ask, Brother Lu. I'll tell you everything that I can."
Lu Yin seriously asked, "Where did you learn the Nine Clones Technique?"
Starsibyl was stunned, as she had not expected Lu Yin to ask such a question. This was her greatest privacy, second only to a woman's privacy.
Lu Yin apologetically replied, "I know I shouldn't have asked, but it's fine if you don't want to tell me."
Starsibyl gently replied, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I'm afraid that you won't believe me."
Lu Yin was curious.
Starsibyl earnestly replied, "Divination can be used to intercept the river of time. When Xia Jiuyou came to the Starsibyl Sect, I was coincidentally performing my divination. Perhaps it was because of him, or perhaps it was just a coincidence, but I saw the Nine Clones Technique in the river of time."
Lu Yin's eyes widened. There was such a thing?
"What about Xia Jiuyou?" Lu Yin asked.
