302 The Fool And The King (1/2)

Divination?

When he heard the words of this young woman, Feng Lin had a strange look on his face.

Divination was a technique that allowed one to deduce fate. It was extremely mysterious.

The future was ethereal and misty; any minor changes could affect everything, triggering a butterfly effect.

”That's right.” The witch Sally smiled mysteriously. ”The gypsies can divine a person's future very accurately. This is an art passed down from ancient times. Tarot cards are magical items that can communicate with the divinity. For you, a student of the Great Wall University, we don't have anything to repay your help. But maybe my divination would be able to help you. Do you want to try?”

Tarot cards?

Feng Lin looked at the colorful and mysterious pictures on the cards. He knew that gypsies had already been doing this since ancient times. His heart couldn't help but stir.

Gypsies were a nomadic race, often moving around and living without a fixed destination in the Ancient Earth Era. They interacted with all sorts of cultures and collected a mix of myths and legends. They had their own secrets.

The origins of the tarot cards were also very mysterious. No one could verify where they came from.

Although divination sounded illogical, Feng Lin didn't look down on it. This was because he knew that the art of divination truly existed.

It was just that the number of variables affecting the future was far too much; thus, it was extremely difficult to foretell things accurately. Only those with deep cultivations or profound knowledge could understand this. The majority of people who did divination were all swindlers and glib talkers.

But if a true master truly used it, they would even have the power to seize luck from the heavens and peer into the future. It was extremely mystical.

Feng Lin could clearly understand this point.

Back when he had been probing the secrets of alchemy, he had been brought into the memories of the furnace before he obtained the inheritance.

That old man with celestial air who gave the lecture seemed to be able to see Feng Lin despite Feng Lin only appeared countless years in the future. It was truly terrifying.

Staring at the confident look of this witch, Feng Lin decided that there was no harm even if he tried.

No matter what the result was, it would still be dependent on whether he believed it or not.

(Let's try it then.)

Feng Lin agreed.

The witch clasped her hands together as the tarot cards silently floated. They even shuffled themselves.

The tarot cards danced in the air, resembling a hundred flying birds that packed together as dense as the stars. After that, they separated and curved in the air in a mysterious arc, causing people to be unable to tell the direction they wanted to fly to.

”Insert a trace of your genetic force and control the direction of the tarot cards. Only by doing so would a hint of your spirituality be captured; this is to accurately determine the trajectory of fate for you.” The witch's voice rang out, ethereal and misty.

This was such a mysterious scene. Even more so because the witch was only an interstellar cultivator. Feng Lin began to feel some interest in the result of divination.

His heart stirred as a strand of his spirit force flowed forth.

The tarot cards reacted upon sensing an external energy interacting with them. Their trajectory changed, becoming even more mysterious and unpredictable.

”Past, present, future!” The witch's voice rang out. ”What do you wish to divine?”

”The future.” Feng Lin didn't hesitate.

He knew everything there was to know about his past, and he had no questions about his present goals. He was only drawing a blank for the future.
