Walker Of The Worlds

The High Elder's worlds were astonishing to Lin Mu.

"Divination? There's someone good enough to use it on the Temple?" Lin Mu said in doubt.

Lin Mu had read about divination as well as heard about it from Senior Xukong.

It was a difficult thing to do and was often inaccurate or vague at best. Very few cultivators were decent at it and even then they could make inaccurate readings. Not to mention there were many factors that affected it.

One of these was that if one was trying to divine information about someone or something that was strong, it would require a similar cost. This cost could be varied and often demanded something from the diviner. Normally the diviners would use Qi to pay for this cost, but the more complex the divination the higher the cost would get.

And when a diviner didn't have enough Qi, they might end up getting their lifespan or vitality drained!

In the case of the Temple of the Four guardians, anything related to them would be difficult to divine. After all not only were they strong beings but also had a lot of karma surrounding them. The guardian beasts themselves were beings that were affected by karma, making divinations turn blurred against them.

All those that would attempt to divine for information about the Tournament would find it deadly or injurious to them.

"The number of cultivators that can use Divination in the Rust Sky world is less than ten but those that can divine information about the temple or the tournament is zero." High Elder Juxue spoke after taking a pause.

"Then… you think it is someone from another world?" Lin Mu guessed.

To him, the given information showed that the diviner being from the Rust Sky would be impossible. Which only left the other worlds and stronger experts as suspects.

"Indeed. Whoever it is, they are also hiding their karma very well." High Elder Juxue replied. "Thus the temple can only take things the slow way."

"But with the temple's influence, isn't it possible to call in diviners too?" Lin Mu asked after thinking for a bit. "The immortal court is bound to have them, right?" he inquired.

"That's true. But calling them in this short period is difficult. Not to mention, it would also mean that the Temple was admitting defeat. Such a loss of face cannot be taken." High Elder Juxue said in a serious tone. "This will be investigated, but the Immortal Court would not allow the Tournament to be affected just like this." He added.

"I see…" Lin Mu understood that it now came down to the reputation of the Temple of the Four Guardians.

Even if they had to delay the investigation for a bit, they would exact the payment from the offenders.

"Now that Junior Mu Lin knows about this, what do you intend to do?" High Elder Juxue asked curiously.

"I don't think there is much to do." Lin Mu replied. "If even the temple is holding back, I don't think I have a right to speak in the matter." He said cautiously.

"Hmm… that might be for the best." High Elder Juxue agreed. "But then again, if the diviner is good enough, they might know about this too." He said with a chuckle.

Lin Mu felt a bit confused as to why the High Elder had revealed such information to him. It could have been on a whim, or perhaps because the old man found him interesting. Whatever the reason was, it served enough to alarm Lin Mu about undercurrents that were hidden behind the tournament.

'Looks like I'll just have to wait and see what's going on later.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
