I Have an Omen System-Chapter 120 - 113: Earth, Wind, Water, Fire

Countless auras erupted explosively.

Cries of alarm rang out. Escape Lights of every color, like a startled swarm of bees, rushed madly toward the source of the halo!

Ye Lan was currently meditating cross-legged in his Cave Mansion. He abruptly opened his eyes.

A large, red-haired man who had just finished repairing his Flesh Body rushed in. "Senior Brother Ye, a Divine Technique has appeared!"

Ye Lan’s gaze was profound. "No need to rush. I am already aware."

...

The very instant the five-colored, misty halo appeared,

a ghostly figure shot out from a nearby pile of rubble.

It was a withered old man at the Seventh Level of Earth Dao Foundation Establishment.

The withered old man was so fast he left afterimages. Wielding a tyrannical pressure, he started last but arrived first, pouncing straight for the core radiance!

"This is bad! Someone was lying in ambush all along. What a deep schemer!"

A Heaven Dao Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Cyan Cloud Sect felt a chill in his heart and exclaimed in alarm.

The red-haired man was burning with anxiety and looked at Ye Lan.

But Ye Lan rose unhurriedly, placed one hand behind his back, and smiled without a word.

"Hahaha! It was not in vain for this old man to lie in wait until now! The Outer Path Divine Techniques are mine!"

The withered old man at the Seventh Level of Earth Dao Foundation Establishment swept the entire five-colored, misty halo into his arms.

Only then did the crowd of Cultivators realize that the halo was actually an ancient, quaint Array Chessboard. On its surface were rows of ancient, golden scriptures.

The scriptures were profound and obscure.

When Cultivators with weaker Cultivation glanced at it, their Divine Souls trembled, illusions bloomed before their eyes, and their Spiritual Power threatened to spiral out of control. Terrified, they quickly looked away.

The withered old man was ecstatic. He impatiently and frantically poured his dense Earth Attribute True Essence into the chessboard,

wanting to perform Refinement on the Array Chessboard.

BOOM!

A heaven-shattering bang erupted. The Array Chessboard exploded with a thunderous roar, its power echoing across the world.

The old man at the Seventh Level of Earth Dao Foundation Establishment only managed to let out a piercing scream before instantly turning into a puff of blood mist!

The Array Chessboard, meanwhile, had split into four brilliant radiances—Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire—which now stood silently in the sky.

Unfortunately, at this moment, no one dared to step forward anymore.

Ye Lan let out a light laugh. "Outer Path Divine Techniques belong to the virtuous. How could they be coveted by a mere countryside Loose Cultivator?"

WHOOSH!

Ye Lan transformed into a crimson and cyan sword-rainbow, shooting straight into the heavens and directly pursuing the earthy-yellow light that represented [Earth].

"Fellow Daoist Ye, this Outer Path Divine Technique has four mysteries—Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire. You can’t swallow it all yourself. Why not share it with the rest of us?"

A shimmering, jade-green brilliance flowed around Wei Wuxian’s body. His figure abruptly vanished as he rushed toward the crimson light representing [Fire].

At the same time, a voice rang out from the horizon.

"Junior Brother Wei is right. I, Qin Xuan of the Holy Sect, should have a share!"

The imposter, Qin Xuan, laughed heartily. Dark Demonic Qi surged with treacherous power, bearing down in an instant as he also chased after the crimson light representing [Fire].

In terms of strength, he was not the least bit inferior to Ye Lan.

The four light clusters of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire were scattered across the sky. However, no matter how Ye Lan and the others gave chase, not a single one of them could catch one.

Wei Wuxian shouted, "Fellow Daoist Aao, if you’re not going to make a move now, when will you?"

Qin Xuan’s eyes were profound.

BOOM!

A hundred-zhang-long, dark-black Flood Dragon phantom appeared. Amidst the surging Demon Qi, blood-red flames could be faintly seen rising.

"With Fellow Daoist Wei’s warm invitation, this one dares not refuse."

The moment Qin Xuan transformed into Aao Peak’s true form, the four lights of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire in the sky finally began to stir!

At this moment, relative to Qin Xuan, the deep blue light representing [Water] was the farthest, while the milky-white light cluster for [Wind] was the closest.

[Earth] and [Fire] were already being targeted by Ye Lan, Wei Wuxian, and the others.

’The four Divine Technique light clusters... it’s clear one person can only choose one. Otherwise, like that old man, my luck won’t be enough to suppress it.

I’ll be forcibly blasted to death by the power of the Bone-Eroding Demon Sea’s Little Boundary Heaven.’

’But which one should I choose?’

’The Earth Attribute and Fire Attribute are already being fought over, and the Water Attribute is the farthest away.’

Searching his heart, Qin Xuan felt his highest chance of success lay with the [Wind] Attribute Divine Technique, the one closest to him.

’Alright, I’ll choose Wind!’

Just as Qin Xuan made up his mind and prepared to snatch the milky-white light cluster representing [Wind],

the giant ball of light in his mind suddenly began to flicker.

Four Ancient Bamboo Sticks flew out from it.

[Top-Top Lottery: Choose the farthest, ’Water’. You can escape with peace of mind and obtain one Ninth-Grade Opportunity. Greatly auspicious.]

[Middle-Upper Draw: Choose to fight for ’Fire’. You may not obtain it, but your life will be in no danger. Auspicious.]

[Middle-Lower Draw: Choose to fight for ’Earth’. Your cultivation will become difficult, and future troubles will be endless. Inauspicious.]

[The Worst Draw: Choose the closest, ’Wind’. Even if you obtain it, you will encounter two Demon Cultivators who will turn back, join forces to annihilate you, and leave you with no place for a burial. Greatly inauspicious!]

Seeing the contents of the Divination clearly, Qin Xuan’s pupils shrank.

’Choosing the closest Wind Attribute Divine Technique is actually the most dangerous option.

It’s even more dangerous than competing for the Fire Attribute Divine Technique.’

’I was right. Those two Demon Cultivators have been plotting to kill me from the very beginning!’

There was no time to think; his thoughts moved like lightning.

The hundred-zhang Demon Flood Dragon phantom rode the clouds and mist. Qin Xuan’s figure vanished over the horizon, streaking straight toward the deep blue light cluster representing [Water].

Seeing Qin Xuan’s departing figure, Wei Wuxian and the imposter Qin Xuan exchanged a glance and couldn’t help but sigh in frustration.

"What a Flood Dragon. Not stupid, after all. It knows to stay away from the battlefield and go after the farthest Outer Path Divine Technique!"

With Qin Xuan gone, the Wind Attribute Divine Technique suddenly had no one choosing it.

The eyes of many other Cultivators burned with fervor, and they all swarmed toward it.

The watery-blue light cluster also had Cultivators chasing it.

But how could they be a match for Qin Xuan?

A Human Dao Foundation Establishment Sixth Level Cultivator had just managed to grab the light cluster.

ZING—

A metallic whine that pierced the eardrums suddenly rang in his ears.

Countless dark golden cracks appeared in the void.

Blood Talisman: Broken Gold!

"No!"

The eyes of the Human Dao Foundation Establishment Cultivator looked ready to split. He felt the True Essence throughout his body almost stagnate.

Then came the clang of a sword.

A tall Sword Cultivator phantom with an indistinct face suddenly appeared before him, holding a longsword and slashing down fiercely!

Blood Talisman: Divine Blade! 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

SHIIING—

The sword light flashed past, faster than a clap of thunder.

The Human Dao Foundation Establishment Cultivator couldn’t even let out a scream before his Protective Spiritual Light shattered like paper mache.

His entire body was instantly shredded by the incomparably sharp Sword Qi. He exploded into a thick, pungent cloud of blood mist that silently dissipated in the salty sea breeze.

’Got it!’

Qin Xuan’s eyes lit up as he snatched the descending, deep blue light cluster of the [Water] Attribute.

The light dissipated.

Looking closely, he saw a square chessboard fragment. Wisps of deep blue light flowed across its surface, transforming into golden scriptures that surged into Qin Xuan’s mind.

[Hell-Suppressing Divine Bulwark of the All-Heaven Stars]

A dense flood of information appeared before his eyes.

[Steal the Power of the Stars from the heavens. Transform stars into armor, condense stars into weapons, absorb stars as a source, and escape among the stars like a shadow... When all four techniques are united, one can achieve Divinity Transformation.]

’So that’s how it is. This Outer Path Divine Technique is actually divided into four Secret Techniques: Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire.

You cultivate them using the Power of the Stars of All Heavens. When all four Secret Techniques are cultivated to Great Success, they combine to allow Divinity Transformation. Separately, they are individual Divine Techniques.’

Qin Xuan examined the chessboard fragment in his hand, clicking his tongue in wonder.

He couldn’t help but admire the wondrous nature of this Outer Path Divine Technique.

What he had obtained was the Water Secret Technique from the [Hell-Suppressing Divine Bulwark of the All-Heaven Stars].

His Divine Sense entered it.

Rows of information appeared.

[Water Character Secret·Starlight Rejuvenation Technique]

[Steal the Power of the Stars of All Heavens, transform it into the origin of Water, and use it to rapidly replenish Magical Power and Essence, nourish the Divine Soul, and recover from injuries. The effect is enhanced under a starry night or in the starry sky.]

’What a Secret Technique... it can even heal injuries...’

A strange light flashed repeatedly in Qin Xuan’s eyes.

Although this Secret Technique didn’t have as many Attributes as a Positional Divine Technique, for the current Qin Xuan, its usefulness was even greater.

Once cultivated to Great Success, standing beneath a starry sky,

his Demonic Essence would be nearly inexhaustible. He would never have to worry about it running dry.

However, just as Qin Xuan’s heart was surging with excitement,

out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of an extremely inconspicuous, faint glow flash and disappear beneath the remains of the Cultivator who had been turned into a cloud of blood mist.
