Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 280

Chapter 280: Clues to the Kung Fu, Back to Ancient Times (Please Subscribe)

The next day,

on Changqing Mountain,

Jiang Xuanyuan finally decided to meet Jiang Muyu.

Father and daughter had been separated for decades, and this reunion was particularly touching.

Li Changan didn’t disturb them, using a formation to shield them from all noise.

At this moment,

Changqing Mountain was bustling with activity.

Li Changan’s blood-stained avatar sat in the courtyard, dealing with visitors from all directions.

Back then, after establishing his foundation, he barely rested for a month, constantly dealing with visitors.

Now, as he was forming his elixir, he was even busier.

Fortunately

, he could now easily multitask.

His true form had long since left Changqing Mountain and entered the Ancient Tree Secret Realm.

Yesterday, when he had formed the Immortal Golden Elixir, he had sensed that a treasure within the Ancient Tree Secret Realm was calling him.

Furthermore, this treasure seemed to be related to the Ancient Tree Evergreen Art.   Li Changan noticed

upon entering the Ancient Tree Secret Realm   that this feeling of calling was growing stronger.   ”Deep within the Ancient Wood Secret Realm.”   He carefully sensed it and then set off, heading straight for the depths of the Ancient Wood Secret Realm.   After achieving the Golden Core, the many perilous areas within the Ancient Wood Secret Realm were no longer dangerous to him, but he still cautiously avoided them.   Li Changan remained extremely wary   of secret realms .   About five days later, he approached the location of the treasure.   A bottomless cliff   appeared before him.   The darkness below seemed to hide some terrifying monster, reminding Li Changan of the Soul-Breaking Cliff in the Bloodstone Secret Realm.   Although the divination last night hadn’t indicated a bad omen, Li Changan, for safety’s sake, didn’t descend in person, instead releasing a drop of blood.   ”Shouldn’t be dangerous.”   He activated his Blood Avatar and slowly sank into the cliff’s darkness.   About a quarter of an hour later,   Li Changan finally reached the base of the cliff.   He emitted a spiritual light, illuminating the gloomy space below. What   he saw before him was countless, densely packed skeletons.   Thousands, countless, blanketed the entire cliffside, a deadly silence permeating the air.   ”Could this also be an ancient battlefield? Or a dumping ground for corpses from some era?”   Li Chang’an casually picked up a human bone and examined it briefly.   This bone might have once belonged to a cultivator, but its spirituality had long since faded over time, leaving it no different from ordinary bones.   He sensed   the treasure beneath the bones.   Without hesitation, Li Chang’an immediately employed his escape technique, escaping deeper into the area.   To his surprise   , beneath the bones lay endless layers of bones, seemingly endless.   It was as if the entire earth was paved with bones.   Finally,   a thousand feet down,   Li Chang’an saw the treasure that had summoned him.   ”The Hermit Coffin?”   The object was over ten feet long, pitch black, and seemingly unremarkable, yet its appearance was identical to the Hermit Coffin Li Chang’an had once purchased.   Li Chang’an remembered that Hermit Coffin vividly.   Back then,   after he had lain within it.   In a dream that   took him back to ancient times, he gained the memories of a cultivator named “Li Ping’an.” Whether the dream was true or false, and whether it actually happened in history, remains unknown.   After waking up,   he almost forgot himself, believing himself to be that Li Ping’an.   ”I never thought that the treasure that resonated with me would be this thing.”   Li Chang’an was quite surprised.   According to his original guess, it should be a treasure like a jade slip, after all, it was related to the Ancient Wood Evergreen Art.   ”What connection could this world-recluse coffin have with the Ancient Wood Evergreen Art?”   Li Chang’an looked at the coffin in front of him and knocked on it.   Could it be   that the material used for this coffin is some special precious wood?   At this moment, he suddenly remembered the conversation he had with the stall owner when he bought the world-recluse coffin.   The stall owner said that he had dug out the world-recluse coffin from an area full of bones in the Bloodstone Secret Realm after digging thousands of feet.   ”The environment here is similar to what the stall owner described, but this is the Ancient Wood Secret Realm, not the Bloodstone Secret Realm.”   Li Chang’an gazed calmly at the countless skeletons around him, a hypothesis forming in his mind.   Perhaps a treasure like the Hermit Coffin must be placed within countless skeletons to achieve its secluded effect.   However,   whether it truly can evade the world remains unknown.   What Li Chang’an experienced back then was more like a possession.   ”Never mind, let’s take it back first.”   He suppressed all thoughts and raised his hand, storing the Hermit Coffin in his storage bag.

Afterward, he searched the area strewn with bones.

Finding no other treasures,

he had no choice but to leave.

…

A few days later,

Li Chang’an returned to Evergreen Mountain.

He removed the Hermit Coffin and placed it deep within the cave, in a separate chamber.

Inside this chamber sat the original Hermit Coffin he had purchased.

The two coffins were identical, with no discernible difference.

“The Hermit Coffin can only be used once. I’ve already used the first one, and as for this second one…”

Li Chang’an pondered for a moment.

Since this object was related to the Ancient Wood Evergreen Art, he naturally had to use it once.

But, to be safe, he’d first observe the hexagram’s signs.

He sat to one side, quietly waiting.

Time quickly reached midnight.

A golden light appeared before his eyes.

[Hexagram Updated]

[Today’s Hexagram: Auspicious]

[You lie in the Hermit Coffin and gain clues to the subsequent techniques of the Ancient Wood Evergreen Art.]

The hexagram’s contents were brief, but it was exactly what Li Chang’an had hoped for.

“Auspicious.”

With a slight sense of relief, he looked at the Hermit Coffin.

Since the hexagram indicated an auspicious sign, possession was unlikely.

Li Changan summoned Da Huang and Xiao Hei, ordering them to guard the cave and not allow anyone in.

He then slowly retreated to a distance and released a stream of magical energy.

“Bang!”

The coffin lid flew up and landed on its side.

Like the other cloaked coffin, the coffin was completely empty.

Li Changan took a deep breath, stepped inside, and slowly lay down.

In a matter of moments,

he fell into a deep sleep.

…

It was unknown how much longer.

Li Changan felt his head swam, his vision blurry, and a figure flickered. He could

vaguely

hear someone calling him.

“Fellow Daoist Li! Fellow Daoist Li, wake up! We should go out for patrol.”

Then, his vision slowly brightened, revealing a strange man in a robe.

Li Changan’s mind quickly cleared, realizing the consequences.

Now, he felt

the same as the last time he used the cloaked coffin.

It was like a remnant soul, possessed by someone, experiencing everything only from that person’s perspective.

A few days later,

Li Changan understood the identity of the person in his dream.

This person was called “Li Tai’an,” a disciple of the Xuanqi Sect, one of the nine ancient sects.

He wasn’t in the actual Xuanqi Sect, but a branch within the secret realm.

The Xuanqi Sect outside had been destroyed during the catastrophe.

He was one of the disciples sent to the secret realm for refuge.

This secret

realm was jointly controlled by the Gumu Sect and the Xuanqi Sect.

The person who had awakened him earlier was named “Mu Hong,” a disciple of the Gumu Sect.

The two had a good relationship and often patrolled the areas near the two sects together to prevent attacks from demonic beasts.

One day,

while on another patrol, they were ambushed by a demonic beast lurking in the secret realm.

Although they slew the beast, Mu Hong was severely injured and lay dying.

Before dying,

he retrieved a key from his storage bag and handed it to Li Tai’an.

“Li… Fellow Daoist Li, this key was given to me by my master before he died. He said that this key is related to the core inheritance of my Ancient Wood Sect, but I don’t know what that inheritance is. Please… please…”

He died before he finished speaking.

Li Taian looked at the blood-stained key in his hand, and didn’t know what to do with it for a moment.

And Li Changan saw the appearance of the key through his perspective.

On the front of the key, there is a word “ancient”.

He recalled.

In order to open the Changqing Cave Mansion, four keys were needed, corresponding to the four words “Ancient Wood Evergreen”.

The key in front of him is similar to the key of the Changqing Cave Mansion, but there are slight differences.

“Could it be that this is the key to open another cave?”

Li Changan’s heart moved slightly, as if thinking about something.

If his guess is correct.

In the cave corresponding to this key, there are the subsequent exercises of the Ancient Wood Evergreen Gong!
