Chapter 821 Cao Yusheng's Master!

Looking at everyone, Shi Hao felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

This group of people from different worlds and backgrounds came together by various circumstances, and now they are all willing to accompany him to the frontier to face the unknown dangers.

He didn't say anything to express his gratitude, but simply kept the kindness in his heart.

Just then, Cao Yusheng suddenly scratched his head, as if he remembered something, and said, "Brother Shi Hao, there's something I almost forgot to tell you. My master, the Old Man Xuangui, once gave you a divination."

"Fortune telling?"

Lin Dong curiously leaned closer. "Your master can tell fortunes?"

Cao Yusheng nodded, his expression suddenly becoming serious: "Although my master is usually a bit eccentric, he is proficient in divination and has a knack for predicting the future. He said he once far-sightedly calculated the fate of Brother Shi Hao and came to a conclusion..."

He paused, then his gaze fell on Shi Hao, and he said, word by word, "He said that Brother Shi Hao does not belong to this ancient history and is burdened with great karma. Even if the alien realm really launches a large-scale invasion, Brother Shi Hao will be able to turn the tide. Therefore, you don't need to worry about things that haven't happened yet."

Everyone was stunned by these words.

Lin Dong opened his mouth, looked at Cao Yusheng, then at Shi Hao, and after a long while said, "Not belonging to this ancient history? This divination is too mysterious!"

The Lunar Jade Rabbit blinked its eyes and asked curiously, "Fatty Cao, did your master say anything else?"

Cao Yusheng shook his head: "That's all... My master always speaks in half, never telling the whole story."

Everyone expected Shi Hao to show a surprised expression upon hearing the divination result, but Shi Hao's face remained unusually calm, as if he had known it all along.

He simply nodded slightly, then looked at Cao Yusheng and asked, "Is your master a giant tortoise skilled in divination?"

Cao Yusheng was stunned, his eyes widening in disbelief: "You... how do you know my master? He rarely leaves his house, I hardly ever even see him!"

Shi Hao smiled but offered no explanation.

He found it while flipping through the book "Perfect World".

Although he was mainly looking at information about the Great Luo Sword Embryo at the time, he also glanced at some content about Cao Yusheng's master.

The old man, the Xuan Turtle, was an extremely mysterious figure in the original story. He was not only proficient in divination, but he also had a premonition about Cao Yusheng's fate.

However, he couldn't say more about these matters here.

The God-Slaying Stone flew out from above Shi Hao's head, circled Cao Yusheng once, and said in that smug tone, "Your master must be crazy. Shi Hao is standing right here, alive and kicking. How could he not belong to this ancient history? Did he jump out of another world?"

Cao Yusheng scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, a rare look of awkwardness appearing on his chubby face: "Actually... my master has been quite crazy lately. He once told my fortune and said that I was very likely to encounter a great calamity in the future, and even... he even wanted to bury me with his own hands."

"Buried?"

Lin Dong's eyes widened: "Your master wants to bury you? What kind of operation is this?"

Cao Yusheng gave a bitter smile and explained, "He said this is my destiny and final destination, because sooner or later someone with an extraordinary appetite will bury me properly, and it's better to bury me sooner rather than cause them unnecessary sorrow later. He also said that after I'm buried, I will crawl out from underground, destined to be immortal."

The group looked at each other, momentarily at a loss for words.

The Jade Rabbit blinked and asked softly, "Fatty Cao, is your master... really insane?"

Cao Yusheng sighed, his face full of helplessness: "I also think he's gone mad, but every time I ask him, he says that heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. I don't dare to ask too much, for fear that he will drag me to the back mountain to dig a pit again."

Lin Dong was stunned, and it took him a long time to finally manage to utter a sentence: "Your master is truly... unique."

Even the usually composed Luo Feng couldn't help but shake his head, his lips twitching slightly: "This kind of destiny is unheard of."

Qian Renxue said softly, "Perhaps your master has a point. Divination and prediction may seem absurd at times, but they often contain hidden mysteries."

Han Li stood aside, unusually silent, but he silently made a mental note of the matter.

He had never heard of such a destiny in the cultivation world: to be able to climb out even after being buried.

Perhaps, the old man with the black tortoise really did see something that ordinary people couldn't see.

Cao Yusheng shrugged, looking like he'd given up entirely: "Anyway, my master said that when the time comes, there will be some gluttonous creatures to bury me. There's no point in me resisting. So I've come to terms with it. Instead of worrying about how I'll die every day, I might as well drink a few more sips of wine and eat a few more pieces of meat. I wonder if I'll still be able to taste these things when I'm really buried."

Lin Dong laughed heartily and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, if that day ever comes, I'll definitely put two jars of fine wine and a plate of roast chicken in front of your grave, so you can smell the aroma even in the afterlife!"

Cao Yusheng's eyes lit up: "You said it yourself! If you dare to go back on your word later, I'll crawl out and settle the score with you!"

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

The heavy atmosphere originally brought about by the Seven Kings of the Borderlands and the eerie ancient ship was lightened considerably by the laughter.

Shi Hao looked at Cao Yusheng, then at the crowd, his gaze carrying an indescribable meaning.

He didn't speak, but silently put the Great Luo Sword Embryo into his cave, and then looked up at the surging chaotic mist in the distance.

Cao Yusheng's mentor said he had the ability to turn the tide.

He didn't know if it was true or just empty talk. But he knew he had to become stronger, strong enough to weather the coming storm.

Regardless of whether the old man's prophecy was accurate, he was determined to go to the borderlands and see for himself the places where those heroes had fought.

He wanted everyone to know that the so-called sinful blood in his veins was actually that of a hero.

Cao Yusheng's fate of being buried and then crawling out again may come true in an unexpected way at some point in the future.

But he can neither verify nor change it now; he can only move forward, taking one step at a time.

"Let's go..."

Shi Hao looked at everyone and said softly, "There are still many things waiting for us to do in other places. We can't afford to stay here for too long..."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked forward, heading towards the distant horizon.

Seeing this, Cao Yusheng and the others quickly followed, their figures gradually disappearing into the churning mist.
