Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 265: Earth Escape

Meng Zhang exerted all his efforts to cast the Earth Escape Spell, continuously delving deep into the underground. Yang Xueyi followed closely behind him without uttering a word.

After a while, Yang Xueyi began to feel the strain. Her talent for spells was high, and her proficiency with the Earth Escape Spell was commendable. However, being at the early stage of Foundation Building with limited Cultivation Base, it was her first time delving so deeply underground.

Meng Zhang, still silent, noticed Yang Xueyi's situation as they continued descending.

After some time, Yang Xueyi reached a certain limit, barely able to hold on. It was then that Meng Zhang ceased their descent into the depths and changed course, moving horizontally underground toward another direction, making a direct escape into the distance.

Meng Zhang seemed to be fleeing for his life, and his speed was astonishing. Yang Xueyi gave it her all to barely keep up with him.

Shortly after Meng Zhang and Yang Xueyi delved into the underground, three cultivators flew from the distant sky and landed directly at the spot where Meng Zhang had just destroyed the evidence of the corpse.

The three cultivators emanated powerful auras. Aside from one in the mid-stage of Foundation Building, the other two were at the late stage of Foundation Building.

One of the cultivators at the late stage of Foundation Building held a round bead and carefully examined it before saying, "Senior Brother, the aura of Fifth Junior Brother and Seventh Junior Brother vanished here."

"The last time Seventh Junior Brother contacted us, he was being tracked by cultivators from the Flying Swan Sect. His aura disappeared here, and Seventh Junior Brother, I'm afraid..." The eldest among them spoke with a darkened expression and a cold tone.

"With Seventh Junior Brother encountering trouble here, how can we explain this to our Master?" The youngest one among them voiced some discontent. "This was supposed to be a very simple mission, but Seventh Junior Brother insisted on acting alone..."

"Enough! Don't mention such things again," the one who spoke first interrupted him. "If such words reach our Master's ears, he will think that we are shirking responsibilities and blaming each other."

The eldest cultivator took out a mirror, which flew into the air, emitting a dazzling light. The light swept in all directions, scanning back and forth before finally sweeping across the ground, penetrating deep into the underground.

After a while, finding nothing, the eldest cultivator couldn't help but say resentfully, "We found nothing here. Let's leave as soon as possible. If we're caught up by those thieves from the Flying Swan Sect, it'll be another trouble."

The three cultivators stopped saying more and flew away into the distance.

Not long after the three left, two Flying Swan Sect-marked flying boats arrived at the scene. Several cultivators descended from the boats, conducted an intensive search, even employing secret techniques, but found no traces of any cultivators.

Unaware of what had transpired after they left the underground, Meng Zhang and Yang Xueyi didn't know what happened there.

If Meng Zhang hadn't impulsively issued a warning, they would likely have run into cultivators from the Fire Cloud Sect.

If they hadn't followed their instincts and fled from deep underground, they might not have evaded the magic tool search of the Fire Cloud Sect cultivators.

In such a situation, a peaceful encounter with the Fire Cloud Sect cultivators was out of the question. Once they engaged, given the significant difference in their strengths, it was indeed uncertain whether Meng Zhang and Yang Xueyi could escape unharmed.

Following their hearts' intuition, Meng Zhang led Yang Xueyi to travel a long distance underground before finally emerging back to the surface.

As soon as they appeared on the surface, the two of them flew towards Firewell Market in the distance.

After returning to Firewell Market, Meng Zhang experienced a series of events following his use of the Celestial Insight Technique, which led to a sudden realization in his heart. He found lodging in an inn and secluded himself in a quiet room to meditate.

At this moment, Meng Zhang's state was exceptional. He had an unprecedented clarity of mind, with his consciousness lucid and vibrant. After meditating for a considerable time, he finally concluded this profound insight.

The occurrences of the past ten days provided him with new understanding, and he made significant progress in the Celestial Insight Technique. Now, Meng Zhang could proudly proclaim himself as a qualified Diviner.

Previously, he had never delved deeply into matters related to the Calculated and Cultivation World using the Celestial Insight Technique. He merely experimented with some trivial matters and had not truly comprehended the essence of the technique. However, through this trial or refinement, his understanding became deeper, and he no longer harbored any doubts about the Grand Evolving Fortune he cultivated.

As a qualified Diviner, Meng Zhang now possessed two abilities. The first was the spontaneous insight, which most Diviners had, but the level of proficiency varied. With this ability, he could sense significant events that were about to occur in his life, especially those that posed a threat to his existence. For Meng Zhang, this spontaneous insight served as a valuable warning ability that had already proven its worth in saving his life.

However, the spontaneous insight was not infallible. If other Diviners disrupted the celestial mechanisms, it could deceive Meng Zhang's senses. Moreover, individuals of higher status, such as Primordial Spirit True Monarchs, could also make it difficult for Meng Zhang to sense their actions.

Despite its flaws, the spontaneous insight remained the most critical ability for Meng Zhang.

The second ability he possessed was the skill to use calculation tallies for divination. The number of calculation tallies required depended on the complexity of the matter being predicted. Similarly, if other Diviners disrupted the process, it would significantly increase the consumption of calculation tallies.

The Celestial Insight Technique couldn't be overused, especially not abused. It had to be employed judiciously as reckless usage could invite calamities.

Prosperity and misfortune coexist, and misfortune can lead to fortune. How to convert misfortune into fortune was a question every Diviner had to face.

In Meng Zhang's case, he had used the Celestial Insight Technique rashly to calculate matters concerning the magic tool. It was clearly not careful enough, and he narrowly avoided colliding with a cultivator from Fire Cloud Sect, which could be seen as a warning from fate.

However, since becoming a Diviner, this was the first time he used the Grand Evolving Fortune to calculate matters related to the Cultivation World. Somehow, he achieved a perfect result, possibly influenced by some unknown force in the universe. Meng Zhang couldn't help but wonder if this was a divine gift, a beginner's luck granted by the heavens.

Before Meng Zhang's transmigration, there were many legends about first experiences, and they were generally associated with good luck. For instance, a beginner in gambling would often defeat seasoned experts, and someone's first intimate encounter would be celebrated with special favors and blessings.

Likewise, it seemed that Meng Zhang's first use of the Celestial Insight Technique had brought him a tremendous fortune, akin to receiving a grand red envelope of luck.
