Chapter 1369: Peeping Is Not a Crime

Instead of answering Zhang Xuan's question, the young man approached the light-armored beetle and examined it carefully, a look of disbelief on his face.

His deduction ability had reached the eight-star level, allowing him to predict many things with perfect accuracy. This beetle in front of him—he had calculated its fate several times before, and each time it was destined to die of old age. How could it suddenly explode?

The so-called 'long life' was just an empty phrase; it certainly wasn't that it happened to be exactly one hundred years old today, as the other had claimed.

And even if that were the case, it couldn't have exploded into powder the moment the words were spoken.

After standing there in confusion for a while, unable to figure out what had happened, he finally stopped dwelling on it and continued leading the two forward.

Before long, they arrived at a room. Before they could knock, a voice came from inside: 'Come in!'

The door slowly opened.

Zhang Xuan looked inside and saw an old man seated in the center of the hall, with a young man standing to one side. It was none other than the Zhang Chun they were looking for!

At this moment, his injuries had fully healed, and his aura was even purer than before. It seemed that although he had been beaten badly last time, his strength had also improved considerably—a blessing in disguise.

'It's you?'

Seeing that the one entering was Zhang Xuan, Zhang Chun's face immediately turned ashen.

As a proud genius of the Zhang family, he had been beaten up by this unknown fellow with the help of a beast pet and nearly died in the canyon. The intense humiliation nearly made him explode.

However, recalling something, he quickly turned around, full of doubt: 'Elder Feng, the honored guest you mentioned... could it be him?'

Just now, Elder Feng had sent his student to welcome an honored guest. He had assumed it would be some powerful expert at the peak of cultivation, never dreaming it would be this guy!

A mere minor at the peak of the Out-of-Body realm, who only got arrogant after taming the Hell Azure Dragon Beast. Even if he had some capital, he shouldn't warrant such an attitude from someone even the clan head respected!

'Indeed!' Elder Feng stood up, looked at Zhang Xuan, and examined him carefully, his eyes shining. 'He truly has the [Derivative Void Constitution]!'

'Derivative Void Constitution?' Zhang Xuan looked puzzled.

Although the Library of Heaven's Path couldn't reveal his specific condition, he had read many books and knew about many special constitutions, but he didn't belong to any of them.

In other words, he was just an ordinary person, nothing special!

Unlike Zhao Ya and Wei Ruyan, who could activate their constitutions and advance quickly.

What was the Derivative Void Constitution? He had never heard of it before!

If he really had some special constitution, he wouldn't have progressed so slowly, unable to keep up with his students and girlfriend.

'The Great Expansion number is forty-nine; one more is void, and you are that 'void' constitution.'

Stroking his beard, Elder Feng explained with a smile: 'In layman's terms, it means that the method of heavenly deduction cannot determine your fate or direction!'

Before Zhang Xuan could understand what was happening, the young man beside him seemed startled, his face full of disbelief.

"Teacher, does this constitution really exist?"

"I used to think it was just a legend, until that time I was entrusted with a task, I realized not only does it exist, but there are several..."

Old Feng shook his head, as if unwilling to dwell on the subject, and said, "If you don't believe me, you can try a divination."

"This..." The young man hesitated, flipped his wrist, and took out three copper coins. After pondering for a moment, he gently tossed them.

The copper coins fell to the ground, spinning incessantly. But before the hexagram could fully manifest, they all emitted crisp cracking sounds—"Crack! Crack!"—and developed fissures.

Then, just like the light-armored beetle earlier, they exploded with a "Bang!"

His face turned pale, as if struck by a heavy blow. The young man staggered back several steps, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with terror and disbelief.

The person before him was clearly right there, yet when he used the art of celestial divination to calculate, it was as if he were nothingness.

He simply could not calculate his karma or origin.

"How is it?"

As if he had long known this outcome, Old Feng looked over.

"I can't calculate it..."

Taking a few deep breaths to alleviate the injuries within, the young man said through gritted teeth.

"Indeed, it cannot be calculated! Because he is that nothingness—not only his fate, but even the things he has done before, and even the direction he will take in the future, cannot be computed!"

Old Feng said.

"This..."

His face full of shock, the young man suddenly understood why the teacher had personally received this person.

The Derivation Void Constitution is a special physique most suitable for becoming a celestial diviner. Even in history, there have only been a few dozen. He never dreamed that the person before him actually possessed it.

"Can't calculate his origin?"

Hearing their conversation, Zhang Xuan frowned, but it didn't take long for him to understand.

The reason he could not be divined, if his guess was correct, should be due to the Heavenly Dao Library.

This thing itself is the Heavenly Dao; obscuring fate and making it impossible for others to detect should be a very simple matter.

In other words, it was not the so-called Derivation Void Constitution at all.

"Indeed, being unable to calculate one's origin means being in a loophole of fate. Once such a person becomes a celestial diviner, divining the future and calculating the world, they will not suffer backlash, and their achievements will be limitless!"

Old Feng's eyes gleamed.

A celestial diviner who divines the future is equivalent to leaking the secrets of the Heavenly Dao and must inevitably suffer the punishment of the Heavenly Dao. For this reason, powerful celestial diviners often do not come to a good end.

For trivial matters, relying on one's own strength and insight might allow one to evade or remain unaffected, but for major matters... one often suffers harm, and when the tribulation finally comes, one is blasted to ashes, leaving no remains.

Thus, a diviner, though appearing glamorous and mysterious, is in fact peeping at the Heavenly Dao, making the profession more dangerous than others.

The Deriving Void Constitution is like a constitution of loopholes; even the Heavenly Dao cannot calculate one's existence, allowing one to peep without punishment...

Peeping without guilt is precisely the most suitable constitution for a diviner.

"I didn't notice before. It was when Zhang Chun asked me to deduce your teacher and background that I discovered the peculiarity..." Old Feng continued.

Zhang Chun's face flushed red, his frustration nearly exploding.

He had been beaten and wanted revenge, so he spent a great price to seek out this Old Feng, hoping to have him deduce the fellow's origins. Never in his dreams did he expect... the deduction was done, but not only did Old Feng not tell him the result, he even treated the fellow as an honored guest!

What kind of nonsense was this!

"You possess the Deriving Void Constitution, making you most suitable to become a diviner..."

After explaining, Old Feng looked at Zhang Xuan again, excitement in his eyes: "Would you be willing to become my personal disciple? Take me as your master?"

"Old Feng has accepted countless students, but a personal disciple... he has never had one..." Zhang Chun's eyelids twitched.

Although diviners were not strong in combat, as one of the upper nine professions, they held an extremely revered status, even the family head treated them with courtesy. And Old Feng was among the most powerful...

If this Zhang Xuan truly became his personal disciple, his status would be no less than Zhang Chun's, making revenge difficult.

"Personal disciple?"

The young man on the side was also filled with envy.

Although he was the teacher's student, he was only taught in classes, not a personal disciple. Without breaking through this identity, he would probably reach the peak of an eight-star diviner in this lifetime, unable to progress further.

But such a constitution was useless to envy; it couldn't be learned.

Unexpectedly, the other party wanted to take him as a disciple at first sight. Zhang Xuan frowned, neither hastily refusing nor expressing his attitude, but looking over with slight confusion: "Is the Deriving Void Constitution rare?"

"Very rare. In the entire continent, as far as I know, including you, there are only four people!"

Old Feng explained.

"Four? Who are the other three?"

Unexpectedly, besides him, there were three others. Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel curious.

Zhang Chun also stopped his random thoughts and looked over in unison.

"This is Luo Xuanqing of the Luo family, right!"

Without answering Zhang Xuan's question, Old Feng suddenly looked at the young man not far away.

"Xuanqing pays respects to Old Feng!"

Luo Xuanqing clasped his fists.

"Mm, no need to be polite. Last time, when the little princess had her cultivation sealed and left, your family head asked me to perform a deduction... I couldn't detect her exact whereabouts. If I'm not mistaken... she also has the Deriving Void Constitution!"

Old Feng said.

"My sister too?"

Luo Xuanqing was startled.

He had wondered why, after his sister left, the family had sought many diviners but none could trace her... It was precisely because of this that he had developed a prejudice against diviners, thinking it was all a deceptive trick. He never expected his sister to have such a special constitution.

Old Feng nodded.

"And the other two?"

Zhang Chun asked.

"Another is the first Deriving Void Constitution bearer I encountered, the little genius of your Zhang family... No matter how I deduced, I couldn't find any trace of him, as if he had never existed!"

Old Feng said.

"Him?" Zhang Chun nodded and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the little genius had this constitution; otherwise, Luo Xuanqing would surely keep boasting in front of him.

"The last one is a woman, about the same age as Master Zhang, mysterious and powerful. I met her once a few months ago... Unfortunately, before I could speak with her, she had already vanished!"

Shaking his head, Old Feng gave a wry smile.

"Oh."

Responding, Zhang Xuan furrowed his brows.

He had always heard how remarkable the little genius was; now it was clear he was indeed formidable.

Like himself, even diviners couldn't deduce him...

No wonder he could keep showing off by never appearing, even Luo Xuanqing, his brother-in-law, didn't know where he was!

"Wait... You said I have the Deriving Void Constitution, making it impossible to deduce my origins and actions. Then... how did you know that Brother Luo and I were at the door just now, and why did you send someone to welcome us?"

Suddenly, thinking of something, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but look over.

Since he himself couldn't be deduced, how did the other party know he would come at this time?

And how did he know they were outside the hall and directly open the door?

"This..."

Unexpectedly, he would ask this question. Old Feng paused, looking over with a strange expression: "You... don't know how to use divine sense? The distance between here and the gate is so short; divine sense can easily extend over!"

"..." Zhang Xuan.
