Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 157
Chapter 157 Immortal No Dao
That strange voice only appeared once.
Li Changan remained vigilant, unperturbed.
He had discovered a difference between himself and the other three.
“Why can I feel sadness, but the others don’t?”
Li Changan frowned, pondering as he advanced.
He wasn’t much different from the other cultivators.
Truthfully,
there were only two differences.
One was his awakened memories of his past life.
The other was the daily hexagrams.
Other than these two, he was no different from the others, all seeking immortality, stumbling along the path.
“Never mind. Overthinking is pointless. Let’s get the treasure first.”
Li Changan shook his head, casting all his thoughts aside.
Since the hexagram indicated auspiciousness,
this exploration wouldn’t be a major surprise.
No matter what strange circumstances they encountered, they simply ignored them!
The four of them continued onward, though at a much slower pace than they had been on their way, constantly avoiding dangerous areas.
“Be careful, all three of you! There’s a ghost vine forest ahead. It’s filled with strange, spiritual plants called ‘ghost vines,’ which will actively attack cultivators, including some at the second level.”
Huang Feng, always at the forefront, warned as he advanced.
When this ancient wood secret realm was first discovered, many cultivators entered the ghost vine forest to explore, but never emerged.
The cultivators outside only heard countless shrill, desperate screams.
Legend has it
that once entangled by the ghost vines, one doesn’t die instantly. Instead, the venom in the vines gradually corrodes,
from the skin to the internal organs to the bones, until the entire person slowly disappears…
During this process,
cultivators can survive for a long time
, helplessly watching themselves slowly corroded in endless agony.
The very thought of such a scene is terrifying. Hundreds of
dangerous areas similar to the ghost vine forest
have been discovered in this ancient wood secret realm! The four of them had to change direction
almost every once in a while
, constantly dodging various dangers.
Even so,
they still encountered attacks along the way.
Simply because…
Some dangers don’t stay in one place for long; they’re constantly on the move.
“Be careful!”
Jin Ze’s expression suddenly changed, and he shouted at Jin Mu.
Jin Mu reacted with incredible speed, his speed increasing dramatically, leaving him a shadow.
The next moment,
countless sharp poisonous needles pierced his afterimage.
“It’s a thousand poisonous bees!”
“These bees are all demonic beasts. The weakest are at the early stage of the first level. We must not get entangled by them. Let’s go!”
The four of them immediately used their escape techniques, not holding back, and quickly fled the area.
Behind them
were thousands of poisonous bees.
They were so dense that they resembled a black cloud, making the sight of them tingle.
The largest number were early stage first level bees.
There were also a few mid-stage first level bees, and a very small number were late stage first level bees.
At the center of the countless bees was a massive beehive, faintly emitting the aura of the second level.
“Hurry! Don’t stop!”
“Friend Li, can you keep up?”
Huang Feng asked over his shoulder, because Li Changan’s cultivation was too weak, only at the sixth level of Qi Refining.
He didn’t want Li Changan to die here.
Li Changan was the best at breaking formations among their group.
Even if he really had to die, he had to wait until he broke through the cave formation
. “Don’t worry, Li can keep up!”
Li Changan was not slow, following closely behind the three people.
About half an hour later.
The four of them finally got rid of the many poisonous bees behind them.
They all breathed a sigh of relief and rested for a while in a relatively safe area.
“Fortunately, those monsters helped us attract attention, otherwise we would be in trouble this time.”
“Those thousand poisonous bees are not easy to deal with. It is said that a foundation-building cultivator was trapped in a swarm of bees and could not break free, and eventually died!”
Jin Ze and the others were still terrified.
Especially Jin Mu, who had been attacked earlier.
He was panting, his breathing erratic, his face pale.
After resting for about an incense stick’s worth of time, the four of them had recovered enough to set off again.
For the next hour,
they continued to avoid various dangerous areas, encountering two more monster attacks, each time narrowly avoiding them. Having
evaded another monster attack,
the four of them breathed a sigh of relief and were about to rest.
Suddenly,
a dark shadow streaked through the sky, instantly appearing behind Huang Feng .
“A sneak attack!”
Huang Feng’s face changed.
After all, he was a descendant of the Jindan cultivator, with strong self-preservation skills. He immediately blocked the hidden weapon.
“Who are you?”
Huang Feng shouted angrily, scanning the surroundings.
Li Changan and the Jin Ze brothers also stood up, looking around warily.
The timing of this attack was impeccable.
It happened to be when they had just escaped from monsters, their mana was depleted, and they were about to relax.
If it had been anyone else…
Maybe a sneak attack would actually succeed.
“It’s you!”
Huang Feng spotted the attacker and glared.
He waved his folding fan, his spiritual energy surging as he cast a terrifying spell at a nearby bush.
Boom!
The bush was instantly destroyed.
Several figures leaped out, radiating a chilling aura.
One of them laughed strangely.
“Hehehe, why are you so angry, fellow Daoist? Isn’t fighting and killing normal in the secret realm?”
“In that case, then spare your life!”
Huang Feng was furious, his spiritual energy surging.
He was about to engage the men in a fight.
However,
they suddenly attacked in unison, unleashing a dark green poisonous mist.
“No, retreat!”
“It’s a cultivator from the Five Poisons Wanderer lineage!”
Jin Mu and Jin Ze’s expressions immediately changed, and they retreated together, putting some distance between them and the group.
Huang Feng’s face darkened.
Although he was furious, he had to retreat with a sense of frustration.
The disciples of the Five Poisons Wanderer lineage were known for their dominance within the secret realm, and few were willing to fight them.
This was simply because poison cultivators were so formidable,
possessing an endless array of poisons.
“Hehehe, fellow Daoists, the mountains remain unchanged, the rivers flow, and we’ll meet again!”
The poison cultivators didn’t intend to attack and immediately left.
They could see that Huang Feng, Jin Mu, and the others were all formidable. A
forced attack would have been unpredictable.
The previous sneak attack was merely a test; if successful, great; if not, forget it.
“Those bastards!”
Huang Feng’s chest heaved, his eyes blazing as he stared intently at the retreating figures.
To avoid any mishaps, he could only endure!
After a short rest,
the four of them set out again.
“Be careful, all three of you! I’m worried those poison cultivators haven’t gone far.”
Huang Feng remained at the forefront, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent as he scanned the surroundings.
About half an incense stick of time passed.
The four of them passed through a canyon.
It wasn’t a dangerous place.
However, at the canyon’s entrance, a tattered flag stuck diagonally into the ground looked strange, and almost every passing monk stopped to examine it.
Because, on the tattered flag,
six large scarlet characters were written:
“If the immortals lack the Way, humans will destroy them!”
