There are nine wayshrines: Akatosh, Arkay, Dibella, Julianos, Kynareth, Mara, Stendarr, Talos, and Zenithar, u seem to have missed one.
Give your answer to this question below!
Since there are in fact nine Divines (gods) in Oblivion, there are nine different wayshrines. They can be visited in any order, and when you’ve prayed at the last wayshrine, you’ll get a vision from the Crusader.
You may be confused because some of the characters in Oblivion refer to the Nine Divines as “the Eight and One.” They’re referring to the eight gods (Akatosh, Arkay, Dibella, Julianos, Kynareth, Mara, Stendarr and Zenithar) plus Talos, the mortal who ascended to become a god. He was a hero who conquered all of Tamriel and ushered in the Third Era (and the Third Empire.) Talos is also known as Tiber Septim, or the Dragon-born. The bloodline of the Emperor descends from Talos.
If you want a simple path to find and pray at wayshrines for all nine Divines, here is a sample route you can take. (Note that there is more than one wayshrine for each god, and that you may have found different wayshrines than the ones listed below. This is merely one of the ways you can find and visit all the wayshrines.)
Part I: The Imperial City Circle
Julianos: Start at the Chestnut Handy Stables outside of the Imperial City. Head toward the “Grand Bridge” and take the first right turn before the bridge. Head north, sticking to the shore of Lake Rumare until you reach the wayshrine.
Dibella: Backtrack and head west across the “Grand Bridge”. Take the first left and head south on Red Ring Road past Fort Virtue to the wayshrine.
Zenithar: Continue southeast on Red Ring Road; beware of the usual bridge bandits. Take a right onto the Green Road toward Bravil. At a fork in the road, bear right (southwest) onto what the map represents as a dead end. In the distance on the right is the Faregyl Inn and on the left the wayshrine.
Stendarr: Backtrack from the Faregyl Inn to the Red Ring Road or go cross country to the “Long Bridge” across the Upper Niben River. Stay on the Red Ring Road until you are north bound and pass the burnt out business All Things Alchemical, then turn left and head west to the shore of Lake Rumare. Follow the coast line north to the wayshrine which is right on the shore of the lake.
Part II: The Skingrad Circuit
Kynareth: Start at the lower East Gate of Skingrad (or make your way down from the upper one, which is the one marked on your map). Head east on the Gold Road to the first intersection. (If there’s a signpost and a cemetery at this intersection, you’ve gone too far.) Head southeast up the steep slope to the top of the hill, where you will find the wayshrine. (If you have progressed far enough in the Main Quest, an Oblivion Gate will open on top of this wayshrine but it can still be activated; see notes).
Arkay: Return to the intersection at the bottom of the hill. Follow the road heading south and then east until it eventually leads to the Ayleid ruin Silorn. From the eastern-most part of the ruin, head south (uphill) until you reach the wayshrine.
Akatosh: Head back to Silorn. This time, head east until you reach the wayshrine.
Tiber Septim: Return to Skingrad, and exit through the west gate. Follow the Gold Road until you reach a stone bridge. Make a right and head north off-road toward the wayshrine.
Mara: Now backtrack east on the Gold Road toward Skingrad. At the flowery round-about head northwest toward the Cursed Mine and its occasional bandit. On the other side of the mine’s hill continue northwest in the meadow toward the wayshrine.
