Chapter 263: Dropping from the Clouds

The role of a Diviner itself is a mystical profession. For most Cultivators, Diviners exist only in legends. Even those who have encountered Cultivators trained in the ways of Divination often find them enigmatic, appearing and disappearing like elusive dragons.

Since Meng Zhang became a Diviner, he naturally had to embody some of the characteristic traits of a Diviner. Throughout the years in the Cultivation World, Diviners had always adhered to this style, indicating that there must be some reason behind it, and it was not just a facade.

Yang Xueyi, the Sect Master of Taiyi Sect, had great trust in Meng Zhang. So, when Meng Zhang said that the timing wasn't right and they needed to wait patiently, she refrained from further idle talk and followed his instructions.

In Meng Zhang's heart, however, there was a hint of uncertainty because it was his first time utilizing the technique of Heavenly Calculation. He wasn't entirely sure about the accuracy of the results it produced. In times of peace, if he couldn't find a satisfactory magic tool at Firewell Market, he could have gone to the directly controlled territory of the Flying Swan Sect, which was even more prosperous and thriving in terms of trade.

But now, the sand monster turmoil was in full swing, and fierce battles were taking place in the territory of the Flying Swan Sect. For a Cultivator like Meng Zhang, at the Foundation Building stage, going there would entail significant risks.

Traveling such a long distance to such a perilous place just to acquire a magic tool didn't seem like a worthwhile endeavor. Therefore, Meng Zhang attempted to use the Grand Evolving Fortune technique. Unfortunately, the results of the Heavenly Calculation were never entirely clear.

Over the next few days, Meng Zhang and Yang Xueyi thoroughly searched the surrounding area. Meng Zhang even employed the Deception Breaking Eye technique to see through the ground. Although the depth of his vision was limited, he didn't find anything suspicious.

Doubts started to emerge in Meng Zhang's mind. Could it be that he had cultivated a fake technique of Heavenly Calculation? Could the Calculated results of Grand Evolving Fortune be unreliable?

With these doubts, Meng Zhang endured these difficult days. Finally, the tenth day arrived, the day when Grand Evolving Fortune's Calculated results were due.

Early in the morning, Meng Zhang, accompanied by Yang Xueyi, rode a Crimson Feathered Falcon and soared into the sky, leisurely observing the surroundings. The entire morning passed, but they found nothing unusual. Meng Zhang began to feel a bit disheartened.

During the midday, the two of them rested briefly. In the afternoon, they continued to roam around, but still, they found nothing. As night approached, the day was drawing to a close.

Meng Zhang felt a bit deflated. Grand Evolving Fortune had actually made a mistake; there was no trace of a Second Rank magic tool in this place. Yang Xueyi looked at Meng Zhang with some puzzlement, wondering why the Sect Master seemed a little low-spirited today.

Descending to the ground with Yang Xueyi, Meng Zhang decided not to wander around aimlessly anymore. He felt like a fool, doubting the effectiveness of his cultivation in the Heavenly Calculation technique.

Just as Meng Zhang began to question his technique, a sudden change occurred. In the sky, three figures appeared, with one in the front frantically fleeing and the other two closely pursuing. Meng Zhang immediately noticed the situation in the sky, and his heart wavered. Could this be the opportunity foreseen by Grand Evolving Fortune?

As they could fly in the sky, all three were Foundation Building stage cultivators. Typically, cultivators at the Foundation Building stage possessed Second Rank magic tools.Could it be that this time, I am here to kill and seize treasures, taking their magic tools?

After thoroughly cleaning them, Meng Zhang and Yang Xueyi began to sort out the items inside.

The three storage bags were all Ten-Fold Storage Bags, filled with various items such as spiritual stones, pills, and talismans. Additionally, there were several jade slips and a total of four Second-Rank magic tools.

Seeing these four Second-Rank magic tools, Yang Xueyi looked at Meng Zhang with a puzzled expression.

Could it be that this was what the Sect Master meant by understanding everything at the right time? But how did the Sect Master know that someone would fall from the sky at this exact moment?

For a moment, Meng Zhang's image in Yang Xueyi's mind became unusually tall and mysterious.

Among the pile of items, Meng Zhang searched and found a black token.

In the center of the token, there was an emblem of a fiery red cloud, resembling a burning flame.

Meng Zhang had been to the Jiuqu League territory and knew about the distribution of cultivation forces around Great Wind City.

At a glance, he recognized this as the identity token of a disciple from the Fire Cloud Sect, a major cultivation sect near Great Wind City.

Considering that this person was chased and killed by disciples of the Flying Swan Sect, he should indeed be a member of the Fire Cloud Sect.

Hundreds of years ago, during the chaotic times in the Endless Sea of Sand, Fire Cloud Sect had invaded on a large scale, but they were eventually driven out by the Flying Swan Sect.

Since then, Fire Cloud Sect had harbored ill intentions, coveting the Endless Sea of Sand.

For hundreds of years, conflicts and small-scale battles occurred frequently along the borders between Fire Cloud Sect and Flying Swan Sect.

The intrusion of a Fire Cloud Sect disciple into the Endless Sea of Sand, followed by being hunted down by a Flying Swan Sect disciple, seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary.
