Chapter 845: Chapter 842 Imperial Pole Worldly Book (Part 1)

"Senior sister, Xuanxuan and I also know a divination master. She says she is a Tarot Master, her rank is a fourth-stage one-star student, and her divination tool is Tarot cards. I wonder what kind of divination master you are, and what rank of divination master you are, and what tool do you use?" Lin Tian asked with interest, smiling.

Zi Yan slowly sat down behind a desk, leaned casually on the chair, and said with a faint smile, "A fourth-stage one-star Tarot Master? It seems your friend is not a charlatan."

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she didn’t directly answer Lin Tian’s question.

"So, are you a true divination master, senior sister, or just catering to stars? Also, you still haven’t answered my question." Lin Tian wasn’t fooled and continued to ask.

"Yeah, Sister Zi Yan, what kind of divination master are you, is it Tarot cards? I often play with Tarot cards too." Xiao Manxuan excitedly asked, like a curious child.

"Why not divine it once to find out? Junior brother, are you interested in asking the ghost god?" Zi Yan still didn’t say, but instead inquired.

"Sure, I’d like to see how you ask the ghost god, what do I need to do?" Lin Tian asked.

Zi Yan took out a sheet of paper and a pen, placed them on the table, and then said, "Write down the word you most want to ask in your heart on the paper."

Lin Tian picked up the pen, wrote the word "life" on the white paper, thought for a moment, and then wrote the word "death" before pushing the white paper to Zi Yan.

"Peng’s short-lived life differs by chance, life and death ultimately have no separation; better to learn no life, no life means no end." Zi Yan recited suddenly after looking at the two fancy words on the paper.

Lin Tian’s gaze flickered as he asked, "Is what you just recited a fortune-telling phrasing, senior sister?"

"No, I’ve calculated for many stars, asking about love, hate, emotions, grudges, wealth, and careers. You’re the first to ask about life and death." Zi Yan said, not knowing if she was sighing or surprised.

"Can’t calculate it?" Lin Tian asked back, knowing why stars didn’t ask about life and death. Modern times aren’t a war era, asking about life and death is meaningless. Stars are more concerned about whether they will be popular, or how long they will remain popular.

Zi Yan shook her head and smiled, "Whether it can be calculated or not is not up to me, but up to the Heavenly Mechanism."

"Senior sister, I suddenly realize, you have a great potential to be a witch." Lin Tian joked.

Zi Yan smiled but didn’t respond to him. Instead, she turned on the computer, and simultaneously, a wall opposite them suddenly opened, revealing a massive screen within the wall. As soon as the embedded screen appeared, it lit up immediately.

Zi Yan swiftly tapped on the computer keyboard, and a screen slowly appeared, more precisely a line of text. This line of text wasn’t modern simplified characters but ancient script that Lin Tian couldn’t understand.

"What is written above?" Lin Tian asked curiously.

"Imperial Pole Worldly Book." Zi Yan said plainly.

Lin Tian, puzzled and confused, asked again, "Imperial Pole Worldly Book? Sounds impressive, what kind of book is this?"

"The heavens are like a covering, how tall is the burden. The sun and moon like grinding ants, come and go without rest."

"The age above and below, its number hard to grasp. Just to speak of one element, its principle is recognizable."

"One hundred twenty thousand, over nine thousand six hundred. Among them three thousand years, up to now these traces."

"Governance and chaos, decline and rise, clearly seen in strategies. I can penetrate them all, just as experienced in the body."

Zi Yan recited slowly, as if narrating something, the words Lin Tian could hear, but didn’t understand the meaning.

"The Imperial Pole Worldly Book contains the studies of He Luo and numeral images, using Yi Li to explore the changes of worldly affairs, based on the Heavenly Dao, verified by human affairs." Zi Yan explained.

Lin Tian found it somewhat amusing, "Senior sister, after talking for so long, isn’t it just fortune-telling? Others set up a stall on the roadside to calculate, and you’re even using a computer. Calculating fortune integrated with a computer; it sounds like those online fortune-telling sites."

Zi Yan neither confirmed nor denied Lin Tian’s comment but calmly said, "Imperial Pole Worldly Book combined with Gui Guzi’s Divine Calculation Technique, my fees are very high, junior brother. Do you want to calculate after all?"

Gui Guzi again, Lin Tian was moved, this senior sister has so many things related to Gui Guzi, he even suspected Zi Yan was the Ghost Valley Inheritor.

"Senior sister, go ahead, I’ll see if your calculations are accurate. It’s not like you’ll charge me if it’s inaccurate, right?" Lin Tian joked.

"Junior brother is wrong, I only calculate, accurate or not money still charged, but since you and I have destiny, it can equal one calculation of Heavenly Mechanism, so you don’t have to worry about me charging you." Zi Yan smiled.

Darn, even if the calculation is not accurate, money is still charged, Lin Tian was at a loss for words, this senior sister has the potential to be a shrewd merchant.

Zi Yan no longer paid attention to Lin Tian’s surprise, her hands "tap, tap, tap" typing on the computer keyboard. The screen first displayed the words "Lin Tian" and then the words "life" and "death" appeared above and below the name.

Then as the screen flickered, many words appeared, all of which were ancient texts, with not a single one Lin Tian recognized, seemingly as ancient as the "golden script" on the Nine Needle Technique Golden Scroll.

Upon seeing this, Lin Tian suddenly realized, no wonder Zi Yan could translate the Nine Needle Technique Golden Scroll into contemporary language, as she was adept in the "golden script."

Golden script refers to inscriptions on bronze or metal, also known as bell and tripod script, a very mysterious script. Lin Tian thought of another matter, the state always prohibits the trade of ancient bronzewares, considering bronze especially the Bronze Tripod as national artifacts, could it be some secret is hidden within the golden script.

As Lin Tian’s thoughts wandered, more and more words appeared on the screen, then started rotating around the words "Lin Tian," "life and death." The words spun faster and faster until only the trajectory of the words remained, which unbelievably arranged into an Eight Diagram pattern.

Everyone in the room was silent, including Lin Tian, while Xiao Manxuan and Kikuchi Mika were even somewhat nervous, staring intently at the screen, their hands tightly clenched.

"Darn, when will it stop, it’s making me dizzy," Lin Tian thought to himself, completely speechless.

Just as he thought this, the words "Lin Tian" in the center of the screen suddenly started to flash red, the flashing red light grew faster and then exploded. The rotating Eight Diagram pattern was shattered, and then all words disappeared, including the words "Lin Tian" and "life and death."

"Darn, what happened? Did the computer crash?" Lin Tian exclaimed.

Xiao Manxuan and Kikuchi Mika also looked at each other, puzzled over what this result meant, as now nothing was showing on the screen, indeed looking like it had crashed.

However, Zi Yan paid no attention to Lin Tian’s reaction, mesmerized staring at the screen, muttering to herself.

"Why did it happen like this?"

Lin Tian noticed Zi Yan’s unusual reaction and couldn’t help but ask, "Senior sister, what’s wrong? What was the result of the fortune-telling you did for me?"

Zi Yan looked up at Lin Tian, her brows furrowed, eyes extremely grim, after a long pause she finally said: "Failed."
