Chapter 156: Paths Diverge
Of course, how much he can absorb still depends on his own efforts and talent.However, he only has two forms of this sword style now, and he doesn't even know how many forms there will be when it's co...It's hard to imagine how talented someone must be to be considered a peerless genius by an arrogant old man like Yu Beidou.
Though he found a way to break the cycle of destiny, it ultimately became the greatest mistake of his lineage.
As for the inevitability of their fate, they must have consulted divination countless times.
Those who refuse to face the results walk down the wrong path.
So for the result of "destiny," can we really only accept it
"Where is the difference between blood divination and fortune-telling" Jiang Wang asked.
Yu Beidou said, “If fate is a long river, then the art of divination is like oneself leaping out of the water and observing the flow of the river from the bank, peering into the birth and death of every fish within it.”
And the art of blood sacrifice relies on the connection between each fish in the river and the River of Fate. Killing one fish and using the ripples it creates in the River of Fate allows for a brief glimpse into its course.
From a certain point of view, blood divination is a branch of fortune-telling.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The biggest difference is that *mìngzhàn* relies on introspection, looking within oneself, while *xuèzhàn* looks to the human body as a microcosm of heaven's will.
Yu Beidou's explanation was simple and clear, clearly stating the similarities and differences between fate calculation and blood calculation.
“Preaching” is just a manifestation of one’s abilities. To be able to explain this level of the Tao so clearly demonstrates his profound foundation. He is a true person who can inherit and carry forward the Taoist lineage, establishing a new school.
Unfortunately, the art of fortune telling is no longer passed down...

“Can we understand it this way…” Jiang Wang said, “The stronger the cultivation level of a Life-Fixing diviner, the longer they can stay away from ‘water’ and observe the River of Destiny for a longer period. For Blood Divination, the stronger the cultivation level, the larger the ripples created by killing each fish, thus allowing them to see more changes in the River of Destiny.”
"Precisely," Yu Beidou nodded.
“Divination is an adventurer's own risk, but blood divination creates waves with other people's lives.” Jiang Wangdao: “In that case... it is indeed sorcery.”
"In a way, he truly opened up new horizons for those fated to walk this path." Yu Beidou said, "The process of leaping out of the River of Fate is dangerous, as you just experienced."

Because fish cannot leave the water, life itself is within the river of fate. To leave this river of fate is an adventure in and of itself.
Almost every generation, there are inheritors of the art of fortune-telling who leap into the river of fate and never return. Blood divination, however, completely transfers this danger away... This is certainly good news for diviners. But for humanity, it's a poison sac.
Jiang Wang listened silently.
"My senior brother said that diviners are pioneers and should certainly not be sacrificed. Of course, some people are willing to be sacrificed, and they should be sacrificed. But a person, once he has the thought of sacrificing others, his roots will rot..."
Yu Beidou said: "At first, he would calculate fortunes and pay a fair price to those who volunteered to die. Later, he went to catch those who were fated to die, using their blood for divination. But who was supposed to die, and who wasn't How could there be a perfectly just answer The standard of 'death' kept changing, constantly lowering... And later, when facing emergencies, he would just grab whoever was around..."
"Who to sacrifice, and how to sacrifice them, all depended on the oracle's word. Once this blood divination technique was passed down, its poison would spread endlessly. Even with my senior brother's strength and character, he couldn't control himself. What about ordinary people in the world Some cages, once opened, could never be closed again..."
Jiang Wang fully understood these words, because his hometown of Fenglin City was sacrificed in the same way...
Similar to blood divination, Maple Forest City is that fish that was killed.
>
When Zhuang Gao Xian sacrificed the Fenglin City domain, he also used the future of the Zhuang nation as an excuse.
Sacrificing oneself is a great act, while sacrificing others is a crime, no matter how noble the reason may seem.
"Among all the evil arts in the world, none surpass blood divination." Jiang Wang said, "Your senior brother has already fallen to demonic influence."
“I completely believe that at first, he just wanted to break the cycle of fortune-telling. He didn't want the glorious history to end, he didn't want our efforts to amount to nothing in the end.”
But he forgot. Fortune-telling was created at the very beginning to help humankind.
> In order to illuminate the future of humankind, there was the art of divination.
Rather than forcing others to sacrifice from the very beginning. To seek a path forward by killing first, this blood-based sorcery is fundamentally wrong. "
Yu Beidou said, "He studied the art of divination for three hundred years, but after creating the art of blood divination, he went from walking on thin ice to fearlessness in just three years. When sacrificing others became a habit, he would no longer be aware of himself. The poison of blood divination lies in killing one's humanity."
Jiang Wang fell silent.
Yu Beidou's description gave him a lot of thought.
There are many people in this world who do not see themselves as human, and even more who do not see others as human.
Along the way, he had seen too much.
Cultivation is about transcending the mundane, refining and purifying oneself, embodying extraordinary courage, responsibility, and compassion. It should not be a means of placing oneself above others.

"As for the results, blood divination isn't as insightful as fortune-telling based on destiny. But when it comes to an individual, it can often be more precise."
As for the cost, blood divination requires almost nothing from the diviner.
From a diviner's perspective, blood divination is perhaps superior to fortune-telling.
Those who harm others without benefiting themselves are still countless. Throughout history, harming others for one's own benefit has been a difficult art to master.

Yu Beidou sat cross-legged, immersed in the past, his words tinged with melancholy: "The night I mastered the Blood Prediction Technique, I looked into the River of Destiny, and it was all stained red. At that time, I silently told myself that this was the wrong path, and I had to correct it... But do you know how I killed my senior brother"
Jiang Wang knew that Yu Beidou asked this question not for an answer, but simply to listen.
Therefore, he listened attentively.
Yu Beidou's eyes drooped slightly: "He didn't guard against me."
About his senior brother's death, Yu Beidou only said this one sentence.
But all the complexities and agonies are within it.

Now Jiang Wang naturally knew that Yu Beidou had personally killed his senior brother and for all these years, he had been hunting down the fortune-telling demon to cut off the blood divination art. This was Yu Beidou's choice based on the tradition of divination and from the perspective of the human race.
But what if you were standing in your senior brother's shoes
That peerless genius was simply unwilling to see the art of fortune-telling disappear, and he wouldn't settle for reaching a dead end. So he tried to forge an unprecedented path. In order to blaze this new trail, he must have endured much hardship and put in tremendous effort. Ultimately, he achieved success!
This is the end of a paragraph.
Whom will he share his joy with
His master, his younger brother, the people he thought were like him...
Even though he had already embarked on a different path. To be able to cultivate such a path as Blood Occupation Technique, one should be someone indifferent to the world and view mortals as insignificant... Yet, this person did not guard against Yu Beidou, ultimately dying within his trap...
> Humans are really complicated.
It's not just Yu Beidou, it's not just Yu Beidou's senior brother.
Even fortune tellers like Mo, who can anyone be exempt from
From any angle, fortune tellers are guilty of heinous crimes and deserve to die.
But from the fortune teller's own perspective, his master had indeed opened a new path for the art of divination, becoming a remarkable founder. However, he was betrayed and killed by his jealous uncle who coveted his talent... How could he not hate
He kept his eyes on Yu Beidou until he died!
He simply dismissed any talk of "poison bags" and "cages" as excuses.

In his eyes, Yu Beidou was a jealous and despicable villain.
He spared no effort to become a demon, he spared no effort to sacrifice himself with his sword, in order to fulfill this revenge.
When he cast human lives as his divination, when he sought balance through blood and ordered the massacre of Qingyun Pavilion...
Will he feel like he's doing the wrong thing
