The Eternal Way-Chapter 114: The Grand Diviner

In the blink of an eye, Li Qi witnessed something extraordinary.

Great King of Cursed Demons and Great King of Bear Slaughter clearly saw a finger emerging from the sky.

The finger descended silently, as if a speck of dust had fallen.

However, both demon kings displayed expressions of utter despair.

This finger could not be stopped.

Everything below, including the treasure canopy, was flattened.

The ground sank dramatically.

Previously, Great King of Bear Slaughter and Great King of Cursed Demons had fought fiercely with Jinwu without suffering any injuries, but now they fell directly to the ground.

All the depressions and craters on the ground were filled up.

The two demon kings didn't even have time to scream before they were turned into fine powder.

The power of that single finger did not diminish; it continued to press down onto the ground.

Silently, yet the landscape was transformed.

At the very bottom, what used to be a battlefield covering a hundred miles, once rugged and uneven, was now compacted. All materials, corpses, demons, including the two demon kings and the treasure canopy, were fused together, indistinguishable from one another.

At first glance, it appeared incredibly smooth, like a mirror added to the ground. But upon closer inspection, one could see lifelike, intricate, and extremely detailed fingerprints appearing on its surface.

With just one finger, all existence within a hundred miles was instantly annihilated! Not a trace remained, all becoming part of this perfectly smooth circular mirror.

There was no room for resistance.

Thus, when Li Qi opened his eyes, he saw the hundred-mile-wide circular mirror.

If someone were to fly high into the air and look down, they would see an additional fingerprint on the ground.

"What is this..." Li Qi stammered, only to realize that all his pain, wounds, had disappeared. He barely felt anything, and even the injuries to his Spiritual Essence were healed.

Then, he noticed a white-robed scholar had appeared beside him.

Wasn't this the Mountain Deity of White Snake Mountain? Why did he suddenly appear?

However, the Mountain Deity was kneeling on the ground, prostrate, shouting loudly, "Little deity greets the Grand Diviner!"

The Grand Diviner!

Upon hearing this, Li Qi shivered.

But he did not kneel.

Even Shen Shuibei, who was supporting him from behind, did not kneel, so he couldn't break free to kneel either. Instead, he simply looked up at the sky.

There, he saw a river of stars.

Despite it being daytime, a silver river spanned across the sky, dividing it into two halves.

On the left, the sky appeared normal.

On the right, closer to Tang Kingdom, golden lotuses filled the sky.

This scene lasted for a full five seconds, then the golden lotuses receded, but the starry river remained, still spanning the sky. Even in broad daylight, the sunlight could not obscure this celestial phenomenon.

Next, a star shot down from the starry river and landed precisely beside Yangning, the barely alive golden crow.

The star spoke: "Injuries like these will likely cause you to fall in cultivation. I can't do much now—half your Spiritual Essence has been burned away. You'll have to recover slowly. By the way, where is Luo Fu?"

"B-Bow to the Grand Diviner. The true spirit of the Lady resides within the Sun-Moon True Lead Cauldron. Please, Grand Diviner, grant her your protection," Yangning forced herself up despite her severe injuries, transforming into human form to bow deeply. She then retrieved a small cauldron hidden in her bosom.

"So this is the Sun-Moon True Lead Cauldron? The legendary artifact capable of nurturing the essence of the sun and moon. Truly, seeing it surpasses hearing about it—it indeed holds great power. But alas, you couldn't activate it; otherwise, how could you have been pushed to such a state by two minor demons?" The star marveled, clicking its tongue. Then, the small cauldron flew into the starry river.

"Luo Fu shall be entrusted to me. Wu Deity Mountain will restore her true spirit. It's regrettable—I never expected her injuries to be so severe. After our earlier announcement, we assumed she chose not to come because of unwillingness, but now I see she's already lost the ability to maintain her consciousness. Such a pity."

After securing the Sun-Moon True Lead Cauldron, the star turned to Yangning once more: "Would you like to accompany me to the mountain? Your injuries require nurturing, and Wu Deity Mountain possesses an outer-worldly grotto-heaven with two miniature suns—perfect for your recovery."

"I dare not decline the Grand Diviner's invitation. However, I humbly request that my sister be taken along as well," Yangning bowed deeply.

"Sister? Oh, the Lunar Essence, correct?" The star flickered, then suddenly appeared beside Li Qi and Shen Shuibei.

Li Qi felt a wave of dizziness.

This Grand Diviner, without showing any extraordinary power, had effortlessly flattened the two powerful demon kings into oblivion.

Was his true form really that starry river in the sky?

"Lunar Essence Shen Shuibei, what about you?" the star asked Shen Shuibei.

Li Qi felt a bit awkward; it seemed he and the Mountain Deity of White Snake Mountain were being ignored.

Well, he was just an unranked novice compared to these celestial beings. The gap was enormous.

At least he hadn't knelt.

The one kneeling beside him was also being ignored—that would be truly embarrassing.

"Huh? Me? I... What about me?" Shen Shuibei seemed momentarily confused.

Seeing her reaction, the Grand Diviner said, "Forget it, then I'll help you reconstruct your Immaculate Body. Mountain Deity of White Snake Mountain, will you return her body part?" The Grand Diviner looked at the kneeling deity.

"Little deity has no objections!" The Mountain Deity quickly presented Shen Shuibei's severed thumb.

With a faint flash from the star, Shen Shuibei's thumb was reattached, flesh regenerating, and her broken Immaculate Body naturally restored.

Shen Shuibei continued to glance between Li Qi and Yangning, her gaze constantly shifting between them.

"You have done well in delivering this message. As a reward, I hereby grant you official dominion over White Snake Prefecture," the Grand Diviner casually stated.

To the Grand Diviner, it was just a casual remark, but the Mountain Deity bowed repeatedly, praising the Grand Diviner's benevolence.

After all this, Li Qi felt himself involuntarily lifted into the air, detaching from Shen Shuibei's embrace, and floating towards the star.

"Now that the outsiders' matters are settled, it's your turn, little one," the Grand Diviner said. "Unfortunately, I am merely a fragment of my true self and cannot bestow rewards on behalf of my main body."

"Disciple greets the Grand Diviner! My actions were not for rewards; please do not trouble yourself with this," Li Qi immediately bowed.

It turned out there was simply a sequence, not an outright disregard. This realization made Li Qi understand that now was the time to make a good impression.

So, he promptly requested to take his leave.

Not only because he wanted to leave a good impression but also because his superior was Young Master Zhu. If the Grand Diviner bestowed rewards due to this achievement, how would Young Master Zhu perceive it?

Thus, requesting to leave at this moment was the most appropriate action.

At the same time, he was secretly alarmed.

Did the Grand Diviner mean that this vast starry river was just a fragment? Or did he mean that this single star was just a fragment?

If it was the former, it was terrifying—how powerful must the original body be?

If it was the latter, it suggested that every star in the river could be a fragment.

Damn, both possibilities were equally frightening.
