Mortal Bones

After receiving Xu Taiping's confirmation, the Great Sage Tianshu said with great joy:

"You actually gained the power of deduction by merging with the Yin God? In this case, you don't need to make sacrifices when you deduce?"

Xu Taiping was puzzled:

"Sacrifice? Why is a sacrifice necessary?"

Upon hearing this, the Great Sage Tianshu smiled brightly and said:

“It is indeed so!”

Immediately, he crossed his arms and explained seriously:

"Taiping, you have just ascended from the lower realm to the Chaos Dead Realm, so you may not know this. All magical powers related to deducing the cause and effect of heaven's secrets not only require special inheritance, but also require sacrifice every time they are used."

"Either sacrifice your own flesh, blood, soul, or even your destiny."

"Or sacrifice others."

Xu Taiping was very surprised and said:

"The cost of using the power of divine prediction inherited from me is so high?"

Venerable Xuan Lei, who was standing by, also nodded slightly and said:

"Indeed."

He continued:

"I have heard that the leader of a certain downtrodden sect in the Chaos Land sacrificed more than a dozen disciples in order to revive the sect. In the end, he found a way to revive the sect."

"From then on, this sect became increasingly prosperous, and even more powerful than when it was at its peak."

When the Great Sage Tianshu heard this, he snorted coldly and said:

"Venerable Xuan Lei, you are talking about the Ningcan Cave, right?"

Venerable Xuan Lei smiled and nodded:

"Mr. Ding is indeed very knowledgeable."

Xu Taiping, who was standing by, was shocked when he heard the name of the Ningcan Cave.

"This is how the fierce cave came to be!"

The Great Sage Tianshu saw that Xu Taiping had a strange look on his face, so he asked curiously:

"Do you know this Grim Cave?"

Xu Taiping nodded and said:

"They once sent people to the lower realm. I had some conflicts with several of the disciples they sent."

At this time, Venerable Xuan Lei seemed to have thought of something and immediately said:

"Come to think of it, I once met monks from the Ningcan Cave during the Kaiyang period. At that time, their group was in pretty good shape."

"I originally wanted to bring my disciples with them. Although they agreed on the surface, they later abandoned us when they encountered the Filthy Bones."

When talking about this, Venerable Xuan Lei looked angry.

The Great Sage Tianshu said with a look of disdain:

"Xu Taiping, is your divine power stable now?"

As if he felt that this question was a bit vague, he changed the question and asked:

"Has your divine power been upgraded to the first level?"

Xu Taiping, who was a little confused by the question, nodded immediately:

"I have already broken through the first level and now I am firmly at the second level."

Upon hearing this, Great Sage Tianshou and Venerable Xuanlei exclaimed in unison:

"Level 2?"

Seeing the two people's reaction was so big, Xu Taiping secretly said in his heart:

"It seems that for the power of great deduction, the second level is already a very high realm."

Hearing his inner voice, Lian Tong said with some pride:

"I've told you before, not everyone can reach the second level of divine power so quickly."

Xu Taiping ignored Lian Tong, then nodded and said:

"That's right."

He continued:

"After reaching the second stage, I can exert the power of great deduction and the power of small deduction."

Originally, Xu Taiping felt that he might need to explain what the power of big deduction was and what the power of small deduction was.

I don’t want either the Great Sage Tianshou or the Venerable Xuanlei.

Everyone understood it as soon as they heard it.

Venerable Xuan Lei said excitedly:

"If you can use the power of great deduction, you may be able to directly find the method and means to eliminate the disaster of the foul bones this time!"

The Great Sage Tianshu also nodded repeatedly and said:

“After entering Kaiyangtian, the power of small deduction will be of great use!”

Xu Taiping frowned and said:

"However, when I exert the power of great deduction, my divine essence will be directly consumed. And if I enter Kaiyang Heaven next, I will definitely encounter the Filthy Bones, so I must save some divine essence."

"So it may not be possible to perform this time."

Upon hearing this, Great Sage Tianshou and Venerable Xuanlei were both stunned.

Xu Taiping thought that the two were worried about not being able to use the power of great deduction, so he immediately added:

"However, the power of small deduction only consumes ordinary soul power, so there should be no problem in using it."

Hearing this, the Xuan Lei Master suddenly took a deep breath with a hissing sound and said:

"The power of great deduction only requires divine essence, and the power of small deduction even...even only requires ordinary divine soul power! Is this...this inheritance you have really the power of heavenly deduction?"

At this time, the Great Sage Tianshu also frowned and looked at Xu Taiping and said:

"Taiping, are you mistaken?"

As for whether Lian Tong's magical power could be classified as the kind of magical power that could deduce the mysteries of heaven, Xu Taiping was naturally extremely certain.

So he answered very seriously:

"Junior is certain of this."

Upon hearing this, the Great Sage Tianshu took a deep breath and said:

"If that's true, then Taiping, your divine power can truly be considered one in a million."

As he spoke, the Great Sage Tianshu looked at the Venerable Xuanlei with a serious expression and said:

"You must not reveal even a single bit of this power of deduction to the outside world!"

Venerable Xuan Lei grinned and said:

"Mr. Ding, you really don't see me, Tan Tai Xuan Yin clearly, do you?"

As he spoke, he drew out a strand of spiritual power from his brow, then wrapped his fingertips around the strand of spiritual power and swore:

"If I, Tan Tai Xuan Yin, reveal even a word to Little Taoist Tai Ping about the power of deducing the secrets of heaven, I will be terrified immediately!"

As he spoke, the wisp of spiritual power turned red and flew directly into the center of Venerable Xuan Lei's eyebrows.

Seeing this, Xu Taiping felt a little scared and said:

"It turns out that Lian Tong's power of deduction is so special even in the upper realm."

Xu Taiping immediately nodded to the Great Sage Tianshu with a look of gratitude.

The Great Sage of the Sky Hunter smiled cheerfully:

"In fact, it doesn't matter if this matter is told to the outside world. I am just worried that you will be abducted by other sects."

Xu Taiping was so shocked that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.

"Mr. Ding, please continue."

The Heavenly Hunter Great Sage suddenly stopped smiling and said seriously:

“Taiping, from what you just said, although you have mastered this divine power and raised it to the second level, you don’t seem to know how to use it.”

Xu Taiping was surprised:

"Mr. Ding, I know how to perform it."

The Great Sage Tianshu smiled and said:

"Then do you know that the power of deduction that you get from merging with the Yin God like this actually does not require the consumption of your own true essence?"

Xu Taiping was a little confused and said:

"How can I perform this without consuming my own true essence?"

The Great Sage Tianshu grinned, then stretched out a hand to Xu Taiping and said:

"Of course, it consumes other people's divine essence."

Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping was shocked and said:

"Master Ding, what you mean is that I can use your divine essence to exert... to exert the power of great deduction?!"

Without waiting for the Great Sage Tianshu to answer, the Venerable Xuanlei beside him suddenly said loudly:

"You don't have to use Elder Ding's, just use mine!"
