This time, Cai Lu did not intend to divine the origins of the Sword Ranking; he planned to directly divine Xu Lai.
The Human Emperor technique was a forbidden art of the Tian Ce Pavilion. Using it once cost ten years of cultivation and was not something to be done lightly. Correspondingly, its effects were incredibly potent. Even if the person being divined was above the Nascent Soul Boundary, important information could still be obtained. Three hundred years ago, a Pavilion Master of Tian Ce Pavilion had used this technique to divine the corpse of a powerhouse. By a stroke of luck, he obtained an ancient scripture from the corpse of that terrifying existence, a being who had surpassed the peak of the Nascent Soul Boundary. In the minds of Holy Land leaders like Shen Xun, since Cai Lu had paid such a heavy price to use the Human Emperor technique on Xu Lai, there would be no margin for error.
