Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 874 - 156:

"Luck?"

"When I first calculated your Life Chart, I not only found out that you were out sailing, but also that your luck is deep and profound."

"That's a good thing, right?"

"Of course. However, if it weren't for this continuous luck surrounding you, I'd suspect you were practicing some kind of sorcery to steal people's fortune, which would be truly low-class."

"Is it too much?"

"So much that, even if from birth you were busy accumulating virtues, you wouldn't be able to amass this much."

"Ancestral virtues?"

"Different nature, I wonder if someone willingly exchanged their fate with yours."

"Luck is a good thing, right?"

"No kidding."

"Who would want to exchange theirs with mine?"

"That's a question for yourself. Perhaps, with your acting skills and deception, you delighted someone so much they'd give you anything."

"Cheating for this, doesn't seem right."

"Indeed, but at least the other person must have genuine feelings for you."

"I'd love to clear the fog in my mind to see who it really is."

"Once things are settled here, you'll have all the time. Let's move on to the next step."

"Activate the Array, harness the Feng Shui!"

"Begin!"

Li Zhiyuan started to activate the Array, simultaneously adjusting the Feng Shui pattern.

The figure had already prepared the most challenging part; now all he needed to do was stir-fry in the pan.

Li Zhiyuan didn't know if this thing, "his future self" would.

In reality, he would not.

He excelled at Arrays, was proficient with Feng Shui, and could manipulate Feng Shui with Arrays or use Feng Shui to guide Arrays, yet he could not merge them together.

Due to his "ignorance," he did not yet know how great an advantage he held.

To some extent, it could be said that with the figure's hands-on teaching, he elevated the core of his "Array way," "Feng Shui way," and "skill way" to a new level.

The Array initiated, the twelve earthly branches rotated, each branch had a pictogram. At first glance, they seemed like the twelve zodiac signs, but internally they held a myriad of mysteries.

In his heart, Li Zhiyuan felt a kind of certainty.

It was as if he had already experienced this scene.

Alternatively, he knew long ago that the figure had a similar habitual style, liking to incorporate animal shapes into magic.

This might also be because he didn't like to interact with people, at least he didn't used to, and those early habits gradually formed a fixed style.

The Array runes were operating: Rat initiated the Array, Ox formed the method, Tiger presented the front. Alternating one after another, the next moment, a mass of black fog appeared before Li Zhiyuan.

The figure spoke: "How much do you know about Emperor Fengdu?"

Li Zhiyuan: "I've read about him; he should be called Yin Changsheng."

"Then just follow what you've read in the books. Do you need me to teach you how to desecrate this Great Emperor to provoke his wrath?"

"No need, I can do it."

"Remember, you only have one chance. Since you've decided to anger him and make an enemy, don't hold back; use all means necessary.

Using him as a knife, he will be very angry.

If the knife made of him is not sharp enough, the Great Emperor will only grow angrier."

"Understood. One more thing, that young ghost outside you mentioned, what does it look like?"

The figure extended a hand to conjure a painting which depicted the Dream Ghost: head bowed, holding a lantern, in damp white clothes.

"The young ghost can't create such a big scene; someone behind it must be helping it. Those people are who you truly want to address."

"Understood."

"What are you waiting for then? Go to the adjacent dream."

Li Zhiyuan spoke: "You said, the Yin family in the adjacent dream should also be on my side."

"That's right."

"I need to greet him first."

"Do you need to ask for his consent?"

"Just to greet him. If he's with me, he will surely agree."

"So, you're considering his feelings?"

Hearing this, pain crossed Li Zhiyuan's face.

The figure lowered his head, carefully observing the boy's expression, and laughed:

"Hahaha, you're better than me! At your age, I wasn't even sick, yet you're already starting treatment."

"Perhaps, because I have a good mother."

"That could be it, early onset, early treatment."

"Is your illness cured?"

"I lost that part of my memory."

"I don't quite believe it."

"Sometimes, knowing the answer beforehand makes it harder to get through. I can only tell you; you're much better than I was. I didn't care at all about what you called... companions back then.

Unfortunately, you can't take these memories with you, otherwise, I'd really want to ask you to apologize to the person who taught you the magic."

"It's alright. You mentioned we both can act; I suppose I can trick him into it."

"True, that fool, I used to tease him saying he's so dumb, it wouldn't be surprising if someone tricked him into guarding the gate one day."

"I'm going."

"Go, I can't leave this dream, I'm waiting for your performance, I want to see... the Great Emperor's rage!"

"The Tiger returns, the Rabbit leads the way!"

…

On the bridge, after a disappearance, the shape of the Dream Ghost reappeared.

It had just gone out, and that group urged it again, and it brushed them off once more.

"Rushing, rushing, rushing, who dares urge with three beings here? Truly speaking without... hmm?"

As the Dream Ghost was grumbling, it suddenly noticed a new change in its controlled dream—two independent dreams formed a connection at this moment.

This puzzled it, but soon, the original woman's dream began to regress.
