OMG! I Transmigrated into Four Books at the Same Time! Chapter 459

"Divination?" Shi Nian was somewhat curious.

Qian Ji smiled and said, "Yes, divination. Everything in the world has its own trajectory. Although destiny is unpredictable, by integrating the information we know, we can always glimpse into facets of the unknown. If the integrated information is sufficient, perhaps, we can even peek into the future."

Shi Nian's expression changed slightly.

Qian Ji was unfathomable.

The man before her, unexpectedly had the ability to foresee the future.

Should she say, as expected of a Divine being?

Shi Nian smiled and suddenly said, "So, when the Divine Realm was falling apart, did you also glimpse some future events?"

Shi Nian suddenly brought this up.

Qian Ji's expression became more inscrutable.

He spoke in a gentle voice, "Of course. It was precisely because I saw certain aspects of the future that I insisted on defending the Immortal World."

Because he had foreseen that here, he could wait for her return.

Now, indeed, he had waited for her.

It's just that the situation was somewhat different from what he had expected.

Despite all his hard work over the years, he couldn't make her take another look.

But his shard, it turned out to be taken to heart by her, and she was determined to save him.

Qian Ji's emotions were still somewhat complex.

It was his shard, after all...

Why...

Let it be. He still had time to plan slowly.

At least for now, she had arrived.

"Oh? What kind of future did you see?" Shi Nian asked with curiosity.

She remembered that her little martial uncle had also performed divination for her in the past.

Now thinking about it, the reason why her little martial uncle was adept in the art of divination must be related to his true form.

The true form was a Divine being capable of predicting the future, so her little martial uncle naturally inherited some of this ability.

The image her little martial uncle saw back then was of the world being turned upside down, with only herself crying out loud in agony.

Could it be...

This is the future?

Could it be...

This world, in the end, was destroyed by those three treacherous Divine beings.

And her desire to save everything, did it fail?

Shi Nian, at present, couldn't make heads or tails of it.

Qian Ji smiled and said, "What kind of future I saw is not important. What's important is that the future can be changed. Right?"

Qian Ji was clearly reluctant to disclose it, so Shi Nian didn't inquire further. She changed the subject, "Let's go, find the Peak Demon Emperor."

Qian Ji nodded, "I'll lead the way."

Shi Nian honestly followed.

Little Tong was also able to detect information about the Peak Demon Emperor. But Shi Nian didn't want to expose Little Tong's existence, she was also curious about how Qian Ji managed to calculate the whereabouts of the Peak Demon Emperor.

Seemingly guessing what Shi Nian was curious about, Qian Ji led the way while saying, "You see that mountain over there, the top has been shaved off a large chunk. But on it, there's only one type of mark. It shows that the peak was shaved not because of a battle, but because a member of the Demon Clan was cultivating. Observing the depth of the marks, one can guess that the Demon Clan's strength is around the Peak of Dark Demon."

"Look at that lake over there. The lake surface is unusually calm, without a single ripple, and there are sporadic bloodstains along the bank. Based on the direction of the bloodstains, I speculate that a battle took place here. According to some clues scattered on the shore, I suspect there is a Fierce Beast in the lake, and a member of the Demon Clan went to the lake to drink water but was dragged into the depths by that Fierce Beast."

Qian Ji casually threw a stone toward the lake.

The stone exploded over the entire lake, and indeed, a Fierce Beast revealed itself.

The Fierce Beast looked at Qian Ji and Shi Nian with a face full of panic.

Qian Ji waved his hand and extinguished it, then said with a smile, "You see, everything in the world, as long as it exists, must leave traces. With these traces, we can more or less infer the past and predict the future. The whereabouts of the Peak Demon Emperor can also be detected in this manner. They live in the Demon Domain, inevitably leaving all kinds of traces, and with these traces, I can pinpoint their locations."

Qian Ji spoke lightly and casually.

But Shi Nian was startled and alarmed.

She was certain that the examples Qian Ji had just given were nothing but the tip of the iceberg.

His art of Qian Ji was far from being that simple.

At this moment.

Shi Nian inexplicably felt that Qian Ji before her eyes seemed to be even more terrifying than those three from the Black Abyss.

This person truly possessed unfathomable supernatural powers and his moral compass was unclear.

The little martial uncle had such an original owner, it really was a bit of bad luck on him.

No wonder it's a negative Luck Value.

Qian Ji glanced at Shi Nian: "Are you afraid of me?"

Shi Nian shook her head and said honestly: "It's not fear, but apprehension. Unknown yet powerful forces always command apprehension."

Qian Ji looked deeply at her: "No matter what, you should understand that our goals are the same. You have to believe that I will never stand against you."

Shi Nian nodded.

Yet in her heart, she complained to her little sidekick.

"Believe him, my foot, men's mouths are deceitful as ghosts."

The little sidekick rolled its eyes: "You didn't say that about Lu Zhuoyan before."

Shi Nian snorted coldly: "How can he compare with my little martial uncle?"

Under the lead of Qian Ji, they quickly arrived at the next city.

Qian Ji glanced at it and said: "This city has a total of three Peak Demon Emperors, the three of them are together, discussing the dispatch of troops, this is a perfect opportunity for us to catch them all in one go."

Shi Nian blinked: "You go first, draw their attention, then I'll surprise attack and reap the benefits."

Her suggestion had no benefit for Qian Ji, Shi Nian mentioned this only to test the person before her.

Qian Ji smiled and readily agreed: "Killing those three is easy, but to be clean and efficient about it is necessary so we can continue to push forward. If we prematurely alert those from the Black Abyss, we might have to deal with their personal pursuit. So, you should be swift in killing them, and thereafter, I will use a Secret Technique to temporarily seal their Magic Power and prevent it from returning to the Demon Pool. Although I can't hold it for long, every little bit helps."

"Understood." Shi Nian nodded: "Rest assured, as long as you hold them, my strike will be lethal."

Qian Ji thus said no more.

So, Shi Nian followed Qian Ji, the two of them using their respective methods to conceal themselves and quickly located the meeting place of the three Peak Demon Emperors.

The three Peak Demon Emperors were drinking and chatting with laughter, quite eager about the upcoming battle, and were already fantasizing about life after completely occupying the Immortal Domain.

Shi Nian gave Qian Ji a look.

Without hesitation, Qian Ji immediately revealed his presence.

"Who goes there!" The several Peak Demon Emperors shouted sternly.

Qian Ji smiled.

With his strength, facing mere Demon Emperors, normally he could easily kill them instantly.

But he merely used a strand of Spiritual Power to bind the three Demons at once.

Seizing the opportunity, Shi Nian unleashed the Destructive God Finger, and the three great Demon Emperors could not utter a second word and fell to the ground.

Qian Ji took out a crystal-clear bottle and collected the Demonic Qi released upon the death of the three, then said: "Let's go, to the next location."

Shi Nian looked thoughtfully at Qian Ji.

Her conditions for advancement required her to personally slay a Peak Demon Emperor.

With Qian Ji's strength, in fact, he alone could have killed those three Demons.

Yet he deliberately brought her along and even facilitated her killing of the Demons.

This Qian Ji… had he already guessed something? Did he know she needed to personally slay Demons?

Shi Nian's heart turned cold.

She naturally was not one of great wisdom.

Dealing with someone like Qian Ji, one truly needs to be extremely careful, without a moment's negligence.
