The Human Emperor (200-400)

C305: Revelation of the Spirit Vein!

Stunned. Everyone was stunned!

This was especially so for Mister Taijia and Phantom Hands. Their mouths were wide open, but not a single word would come out.

"Taijia, what is going on? Didn't you say that this is a plot of undeveloped land, and no one else except for us is aware of it?" The livid Phantom Hands spewed out these words one by one through gritted teeth.

"This shouldn't be possible!" Mister Taijia uttered as he stepped forward. He hadn't noticed Phantom Hands' words at all. Astonishment had consumed him completely.

His divination mastery had already reached the peak a dozen years ago. There were very few in the capital who could compete with him in this field.

Based on his divination, this land should be completely unknown to anyone other than him. It was impossible for anyone to beat him to it.

But reality was showing him a very different picture.

Someone found this location way faster than him. The elegant infrastructures and the cluster of buildings… it was impossible to build all of those without a lengthy period of construction.

"Mister, is there any chance that they haven't noticed the spirit vein yet?" three royal guards of the Third Prince asked hopefully.

"That's not possible!" Mister Taijia refuted the suggestion without any hesitation.

"The place is extremely remote, and it is a far distance away from the main route. If they hadn't noticed something, they wouldn't have built such elaborate structures here."

"But is there a chance that they are just to tour around?"

"Do you think that they will tour in a place where venomous snakes roam?"

The question rendered the guards speechless.

On the journey here, they had imagined all kinds of scenarios, be it whether the spirit vein didn't exist at all, or that Mister Taijia had miscalculated. The one and only scenario they had failed to take into account was that... someone had beat them to the spirit vein.

Looking at the rows of buildings on the peak of the mountain, all their hearts turned cold.

"Mister Taijia, is this the spirit vein you have divined for us?" Phantom Hands asked with a frigid voice. At this moment, his eyes were blazing with fury. If not for the Third Prince's high regard for the diviner, he would have long killed the man for this farce.

"This is indeed the spirit vein..." Mister Taijia said, but before he could finish his words, Phantom Hands interjected in displeasure.

"Then you divine again!"

Sou!

The diviner stretched out his hand, and the golden dual-layered geomantic compass immediately flew into Mister Taijia's hands.

Casually picking a leaf near the spirit vein, Mister Taijia began his divination.

"How can this be?" The abruptly different results Taijia saw left him stunned.

The consecutive divination over the course of the past few days had left his face pale, but at this moment, it looked as though it was completely drained of color.

He had spent his entire life dabbling in divination, and he was extremely confident of his own divinations.

However, Taijia suddenly realized that his divination was inaccurate.

In his entire life, this was the first time he had received an uncertain result.

"How can this be? What is going on?" The trembling Taijia muttered under his breath anxiously. The confidence he had built over the years was shattered all of a sudden.
