Chapter 753: Chapter 753

"The father, passed away before the mother. The father remains, the mother passed away before him.

How clever! No matter the outcome, this old Taoist places himself in an unbeatable position. Even if both parents are alive, he can claim it’s a future event. He’s truly too cunning."

"Thanks to this girl’s reminder, I also feel something is off, and this phrase. ’A widower, must not have a wife.’ ’A widower must not, have a wife.’ Whether there is a wife or not, what this old Taoist says makes sense."

"Could he really be a swindler?"

"Beat this deceitful old man to death."

The crowd around instantly became agitated, and the looks they gave to the old Taoist gradually changed from reverence to suspicion.

Even one or two young men were rubbing their hands together, eager to try, looking at the old Taoist with hostility.

The old Taoist said with resignation: "I’m really not a swindler.

Since the young lady won’t tell, then I shall divine the matter that’s currently troubling the young lady most."

The old Taoist picked up the turtle shell from the table, rattled it twice, and the turtle shell upended. Ding ding ding, several Copper Coins fell out, scattering across the table.

The old Taoist scrutinized the distribution of the Copper Coins, his gaze gradually becoming grave, then suddenly looked up at the Three Saint Mothers in astonishment.

The Three Saint Mothers inquired seriously: "What have you divined? Tell me."

The old Taoist hesitated for a moment, then said: "The woman before me is not human..."

Many young men who were secretly glancing at the Three Saint Mothers, suddenly shouted angrily.

"What nonsense are you spouting, old Taoist?"

"This young lady has exposed your scam, and yet you insult her. What a fake Taoist priest."

"Apologize to this young lady immediately, or else this young master will give you a taste of fists as big as a sand pot."

The old Taoist continued to look at the Three Saint Mothers, then continued to say: "The Nine Heavens Immortal descends to the mortal realm."

The jeering youths instantly stopped, staring at the old Taoist in astonishment, a thought simultaneously flashing through their minds, this old Taoist is an expert! ’The woman before me is not human, the Nine Heavens Immortal descends to the mortal realm.’ Remember this, quickly jot this down.

The gaze of the Three Saint Mothers immediately changed, looking at the old Taoist with shock, he actually saw through it? How could this be? Isn’t he a swindler?

"Ha ha~ Old Taoist, it’s too late to admit your mistake now. Even if you flatter this beautiful young lady, you can’t change the fact that you’re a swindler," a dandy with a folded fan lightly flicking, sternly scolded the old Taoist.

Other youths also regained their composure and began to clamor.

"That’s right, you fraud, you’ve been exposed."

"I will surely punish you on behalf of justice."

"Don’t worry young lady, I will protect you."

The Three Saint Mothers also felt a sense of relief, could it be that he really flattered me, and accidentally guessed correctly? After a little thought, she felt that her guess might indeed be true.

The old Taoist tried to argue: "I truly didn’t lie, I really can tell fortunes!"

"I can tell fortunes too, and in my opinion, you old swindler might face a bloody disaster."

"Hehe~ Actually, this old swindler didn’t say anything wrong, this young lady truly is the Nine Heavens Immortal descended to the mortal realm in my heart," a youth dressed like a scholar threw a flirtatious wink at the Three Saint Mothers.

The Three Saint Mothers continued to inquire: "What did you divine as my greatest concern?"

The old Taoist looked down at the Eight Diagram below, pondered for a moment, then stroking his beard, he said: "The Fairy’s concern is all about her mother’s plight, it seems that your mother is deeply trapped and unable to escape."

The Three Saint Mothers’ expression changed, and she suddenly stood up and called out in shock: "Who exactly are you?"

The old Taoist said innocently, "I am merely a common man, with a slight understanding of the Divination Skill."

With a wave of her robe, the old Taoist and the Three Saint Mothers instantly disappeared into a swirl of clouds and mist.

The bystanders around them began to shout with excitement.

"Immortals, they really are immortals."

"The Fairy has descended to the mortal world~"

"Pray that the Fairy blesses me with a beautiful wife."

The square outside the Divine Palace grew noisy as numerous people began to worship on the square, and some rushed into the Divine Palace.

The clouds on Hua Mountain were shrouded in mist, and halfway up the mountain was a flat platform adorned with exotic flowers and fluttering butterflies. Behind the platform was a Cave Mansion, beside which stood a stone tablet.

Suddenly, a cloud of mist formed above the platform, and as it dispersed, two figures dropped from within.

"Ah~" The old Taoist flailed his arms and legs, screaming in terror as he fell with a thud onto the platform, groaning and rolling around in pain.

The Three Saint Mothers landed gracefully on the platform, her long sleeves waving, she turned to look at the old Taoist with an aura of immortal grace.

The Three Saint Mothers frowned slightly. Could it be that he really had no Cultivation at all?

"That Taoist, how did you come to know of my mother’s imprisonment?"

"Ow~ It was naturally calculated by poor me!" The old Taoist struggled to his feet.

"It hurts so much it could kill me."

"Hmm~ Still not telling the truth?! You are just a mere mortal, how could you calculate matters concerning Immortal Gods?" The Three Saint Mothers’ pretty face showed a hint of threat.

Sitting on the grass, the old Taoist rubbed his old back and said with a pained expression, "I dare not deceive the Fairy. Although I am a mortal, I have devoted my life to studying the art of Divination. I consider my skills not much inferior to those of King Wen from days of old, and have a slight knowledge of matters concerning Immortal Gods."

King Wen? The expression on the Three Saint Mothers’ face changed several times. In the past Divine Enthronement Battle, Zhou Wenwang, relying on the Postnatal Eight Diagrams, shocked the Gods and Buddhas of the Three Realms. If he was as remarkable as Zhou Wenwang, then calculating matters of Immortal Gods would indeed be unsurprising.

"Ow~ I’m truly in a lot of pain, my old bones almost fell apart."

The Three Saint Mother couldn’t help but ask, "Can the Daoist possibly calculate when my mother will be able to come out?"

The old Taoist rubbed his back for a while before responding, "The previous divination did not show anything. However, I can cast another divination for the Fairy to seek a way to rescue your mother."

"Do you have a torch here?" asked the old Taoist.

The Three Saint Mothers pointed with her finger, and boom~ a fierce flame ignited in front of the old Taoist. Frightened, he reflexively leaned back, laughing nervously, "Fairy’s Divine Skills are impressive!"

The old Taoist, trembling, took out a Turtle Shell from his bosom and threw it into the fire. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ noⅴelfire.net

Boom~ the flames blazed fiercely, and crackling sounds emanated from them. Moments later, with a stick found nearby, the old Taoist fished the Turtle Shell out of the flames, laying it out in front of him to examine the cracks that had formed.

"Pfft~" The old Taoist suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, a smell of burning wafted up from within him.

The Three Saint Mothers promptly asked, "What’s wrong with you?" She immediately released a surge of Divine Power to envelop the old Taoist.

But the old Taoist showed no sign of getting better; wisps of blue smoke even began to rise from his body.

The old Taoist clutched at his chest, crying out in agony, "It’s the heavens! To save the Fairy’s mother, one must change heaven and earth. The divination... the divination shows that only the Fairy can save your mother. How can you extinguish a fire if you do not enter the fire pit? The person who will change the heavens is a senior from your sect. Ah~"

With a scream from the old Taoist, as the Three Saint Mothers watched in horror, flames ignited from within him, engulfing his entire body. He turned to ash amidst the flames, beyond the suppression of Divine Power.
