"This line is here to convey some words of advice to Mr. Chen"
Zhang Huanzhi's expression suddenly became solemn, and Chen Mo couldn't help but frown.
At this moment, Zhang Huanzhi looked at him in a state of laziness. Among the three candidates for the title of the Celestial Master, he seemed the least likely to succeed in gaining the position. Yet there is no doubt about his strength being the most formidable.
Even, with his abilities, he has surpassed the current master Zhang Daocheng.
Compared to his master, whether in terms of strength or divination abilities, Zhang Huanzhi is not inferior to the former.
"But there's no harm in saying so."
After speaking, Chen Mo quietly stared at Zhang Huanzhi, waiting for his answer.
Zhang Huanzhi nodded slightly, "I have known you for three hundred years. Although we only met once at the beginning, this life-saving favor is something I dare not forget..."
"Oh, three hundred years ago, I divined a hexagram and saw that you were destined for a great calamity, but unfortunately, I didn't have the ability to alleviate your misfortune. However, I divined that we would have the fortune to meet again, so I put my mind at ease."
"But I didn't expect that you would be resurrected after three hundred years after your death."
Chen Mo raised an eyebrow, "What do you want to say?"
Zhang Huanzhi slowly walked towards Chen Mo, waving his hand lightly and continuing, "During these three hundred years, my divination skills have been improving day by day. I have divined for many people, including my master, the current Celestial Master. His path has been fraught with difficulties, and I divined long ago that his time was up..."
"This..."
Chen Mo frowned slightly and looked at Zhang Huanzhi who had walked up to him. He chose to walk alongside him, walking along the lakebank.
"The one who opened the space to the other world when we first came in should be the current Celestial Master Zhang Daocheng, who is also your master, right?"
"Correct."
Zhang Huanzhi nodded without hesitation.
Chen Mo pondered for a moment, "Raped and possessed?"
"Your answer surprised me."
Zhang Huanzhi sighed bitterly, "If I were to tell others, for example, my fellow disciples, they would certainly laugh at me for being inaccurate in my divination. It's the outsider like you who believes in me so much."
"I don't believe in you; I believe in my own intuition."
Before Zhang Tianling was defeated and his physical body was completely destroyed, he was on the brink of death. Eventually, he had to maintain a spiritual state, and according to Chen Mo's understanding of his character, he certainly wouldn't want to become a waste like that; therefore, he would only watch from the sidelines.
At this moment, what he needed most was a body, a powerful body. The Zhang Daocheng, whom he held in high regard, was undoubtedly the best target.
"You've come to tell me about your master being possessed?"
Chen Mo's curiosity was piqued and asked.
Zhang Huanzhi shook his head slightly, "That's not it. I've said that during these three hundred years, I've divined many hexagrams, naturally also for you. Your life journey is full of difficulties, especially since we started in this otherworldly space..."
Zhang Huanzhi hesitated for a moment, "If possible, I would rather you leave this place now. That would truly be the best choice for you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo shook his head gently, "I'm not going to leave. There are things here that I need."
Zhang Huanzhi stared at Chen Mo's determined expression for a moment, seeing that he couldn't be swayed, decided not to persist.
"It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with good words, and he still understands that principle."
"Since you've divined many hexagrams, then perhaps you can tell me who benefited the most in this otherworldly space?"
Chen Mo smiled and curiously asked.
Zhang Huanzhi shook his head lightly, "The mysteries of this world and realm have long been obscured; I can't divine it."
"Finally..."
Chen Mo showed no sign of surprise at all.
"I've said what I needed to say, Mr. Chen. Farewell."
Zhang Huanzhi bowed farewell to Chen Mo, and as he was leaving, he couldn't help but look back at him.
"I once divined that you would die, but in the end, you managed to come back to life... Perhaps my divination did not reach the end, but the road ahead of you is paved with bones, and I wonder if after experiencing all of that, you will still be able to reach the end..."
With those words, Zhang Huanzhi's figure seemed to vanish into the lake.
Chen Mo was thinking about Zhang Huanzhi's reminder, his brow was knitted. Although he has already decided to go and compete for the seven unparalleled treasures, however, both Zhang Huanzhi and Su Yume have said about the dangers in this.
It seems that it is still necessary to be careful.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo turned towards the lake, and suddenly, two figures appeared not far from the lake.
One person was wearing a purple robe, and the other was wearing a black robe. After a glance, Chen Mo recognized the people. They weren't Chu Huanzhi and Zhang Tingzhi who had been with him when he was abroad?
Zhang Lingzhi, looking young but exuding the composure of an old man, took a momentary glance at Chen Mo and smiled lightly, "I've heard before that Master Huanzhi has had a one-time encounter with the legendary Daozu Chen Mo. But there was also a life-saving favor... If my guess is correct, you are the one who has a good relationship with Master Huanzhi, the so-called legendary Daozu Chen Mo."
Chen Mo stared at the two, unsure of their purpose in coming, but seeing their determined expressions, he eventually nodded to acknowledge.
Zhang Zuezi, dressed in a black robe and with a sturdy build, smiled and chuckled, holding both hands and striking them together, "The person who is called the ancestor actually has decent strength. I'm curious, how strong are you that you can make countless experts in the Central Continent bow to you and even willingly do things for you?"
"I am Zhang Zuezi, a candidate for the Celestial Master title from the Celestial Master's mansion. I have come to seek advice."
"Seeking advice? From your appearance, it's not just seeking advice; it seems like you want to kill me."
Chen Mo snorted coldly and stared indifferently at the Zhuang Zuezi, who was preparing to make his move.
The fact that he knew Zhang Huanzhi is known to very few people, and even though they saw that he had a good relationship with Zhang Huanzhi just now, they couldn't possibly know about three hundred years ago.
Plus, according to Zhang Huanzhi's personality, he probably wouldn't just randomly say something.
More importantly, he had only met Zhang Zuezi once, yet he could sense the killing intent in his eyes.
Chen Mo was deeply puzzled and couldn't understand why Zhang Zuezi would act this way.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and spoke quickly, "Is it Zhang Tianling... no, it should be your master who sent you here?"
Zhang Lingzhi didn't speak, but after hearing what Chen Mo said, his eyes moved slightly, and he seemed to be pondering something.
On the other hand, Zhang Zuezi, upon hearing this, opened his mouth with a look of disdain and said, "Just by you?"
"Although you are revered as the ancestor and have many experts supporting you, if my master were to take action against you, he could easily kill you in a moment. Why would he go through all this trouble for me to do it?"
"However, my master is indeed interested in you, which is why he mentioned your affairs just before we entered. Haha, I just couldn't stand the sight of someone like you who has nothing but a mouth. That's why I volunteered to find you."
"I just want my master to see that you're nothing but a useless waste."
