Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 312

Chapter 312 Top-Tier Treasure, Essential Escape Tool (Please Subscribe)

“Could the treasures within this palace be nothing more than illusions?”

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances.

The aura of the treasures was unmistakable, yet why couldn’t anyone retrieve them?

Was this hall guarded by some kind of formation, or some other strange power?

“Fine, I’ll try myself!”

Wu Shuo took a deep breath and made his decision.

Since so many servants and spirit beasts had returned alive, he should be safe too.

He handed his storage bag to Li Chang’an, solemnly instructing him, “Fellow Daoist Li, if anything happens to me, please pass this storage bag on to my descendants.”

“Alright!”

Li Chang’an didn’t say much, accepting the storage bag.

After this brief observation, he had already discerned the mystery of this hall.

There were no formations within the hall.

The reason the crowd couldn’t obtain the treasures was due to a fourth-tier divination technique—Confusing Mysteries!

This technique was particularly bizarre.

In the area enveloped by this divination power, everything was chaotic.

Some treasures appear real but are actually illusory; they seem close at hand but may be thousands of miles away; they seem to be moving forward but are actually moving backward…

Truth and falsehood are indistinguishable, confusion and disorientation abound, and everything is unclear.

Let alone

a Golden Core cultivator, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be affected if they entered.

Li Chang’an’s divination skills, though not yet at the fourth level, were close, practically at the fourth level, and he was already familiar with the various strange methods of fourth-level divination.

He knew very well that entering wouldn’t kill him; at most, he would be confused for a while.

“Fellow Daoist Wu, rest assured, I see your luck is at its peak, you won’t perish here.”

“That’s true, but accidents can happen.”

Wu Shuo calmed himself and slowly stepped inside.

As the first Golden Core cultivator to enter the hall, he instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

Even the people from the Yellow Sand Sect not far away turned their gazes to him.

“Fellow Daoist Wu’s strength is considerable; perhaps he has a chance to obtain the treasure.”

“Everyone, don’t be impatient, let’s wait for Fellow Daoist Wu to come out.” The

crowd stopped probing and stood quietly outside the hall, waiting.

About fifteen minutes later,

Wu Shuo reappeared outside the main hall.

He kept his head down, staring at his hands, but they were empty.

“Indeed! I clearly obtained a treasure, but it vanished as soon as I stepped out of the hall.”

“Fellow Daoist Wu, did you really obtain a treasure? Or were you deceived by an illusion?”

Everyone stepped forward, asking about Wu Shuo’s experience.

Wu Shuo didn’t hide anything and recounted what he had seen and heard in detail.

After entering the main hall,

he saw dozens of treasures shimmering with light, many of which exuded the aura of the fourth rank.

He originally intended to take all the treasures, but they all seemed to possess sentience and avoided him.

He managed to take only one with great difficulty.

“That was a fourth-rank refining material, and I clearly sealed it with my magic power…”

Looking at his empty hands, Wu Shuo sighed.

Zi Yun asked, “Fellow Daoist Wu, did you try to put that treasure into your storage bag?”

“Of course I tried, but I couldn’t put it in.”

After some questioning…

Without further hesitation, everyone entered the main hall.

However, their experiences were similar to Wu Shuo’s; none of them managed to bring out a single treasure.

The situation was similar at the Huangsha Sect not far away.

“Alas, there’s clearly a Nascent Soul opportunity here, but we can only watch.” What

everyone desired most was naturally the Ice Spirit Jade.

Yet, none succeeded.

Finally,

even Zi Xi, Gu Yunqi, and Wei Xu went in to try.

All three were prodigies; even the lowest-quality Core Formation cultivator was a half-step Immortal Golden Core, their methods and strength far surpassing ordinary Golden Core cultivators.

Their goal was also the Ice Spirit Jade.

However, before long, all three failed.

They gained nothing!

“This place is indeed strange.”

Zi Xi stood outside the main hall, her eyes calm, lost in thought.

A moment later,

a flash of spiritual light appeared in her hand, and a fourth-tier talisman appeared.

Golden light shone brightly on the talisman, golden patterns slowly burning, hovering above her head, releasing a fourth-tier pressure.

She carried the talisman and re-entered the main hall.

Gu Yunqi and Wei Xu also used their own methods to re-enter the main hall, attempting to retrieve the Ice Spirit Jade.

“Will it work this time?”

Everyone waited outside, filled with doubt.

About a quarter of an hour later,

the three reappeared, still without obtaining the treasure.

Disappointment was inevitable; even figures like the Holy Maiden and Holy Son couldn’t obtain such an opportunity, so they probably had no hope either.

Zi Xi said, “This place won’t harm anyone’s life. Everyone, please use your methods.”

With that, she soared into the sky, her purple skirt fluttering, overlooking the entire palace, seemingly trying to discern its mysteries.

Gu Yunqi and Wei Xu also stopped trying and, like Zi Xi, began searching for a solution.

The others acted differently; some went elsewhere to search for treasure, while others continued trying.

A moment later,

Li Chang’an moved.

He walked closer, slowly stepped into the main hall, and disappeared from everyone’s sight.

“Fellow Daoist Li will most likely return empty-handed.”

“This place is truly strange; Fellow Daoist Li’s alchemy and weapon-refining skills are useless.”

No one had high hopes for Li Chang’an.

Even Zi Xi failed; what could he possibly do?

Little did they know,

Li Chang’an had already discerned some of the mysteries of this place.

Upon entering, he found himself before a vast hall thousands of feet high.

Dozens of shimmering, luminous treasures danced within.

“Ice Spirit Jade!”

Li Chang’an narrowed his eyes, quickly locking onto the Nascent Soul opportunity.

However, he didn’t act immediately.

The place was permeated with divination power; without understanding how to decipher it, he wouldn’t be able to obtain the treasures.

With a thought, Li Chang’an retrieved a fourth-tier tortoise shell, suspending it above his head and using divination techniques to control it.

A moment later

, wisps of mysterious energy emanated from the tortoise shell.

Li Chang’an stood there, carefully sensing the power for a moment, his gaze becoming more serious.

“Not only are there confusing mysteries, but also techniques like shifting heaven and earth, and viewing flowers in a mirror. I may only have one chance,”

he realized.

Once he took one treasure, he would be immediately sent out of the hall, unable to obtain a second.

Therefore,

choosing a treasure required utmost care.

“Don’t be blinded by a single leaf; perhaps there are even better treasures.”

Li Chang’an shifted his gaze, no longer looking at the ice spirit jade.

He closed his eyes slightly, gathered his divine sense, and used his divination power to cast a fortune for himself.

A moment later,

he sensed something.

Deep within this hall, there was a treasure more suitable for him!

“What kind of treasure could it be?”

Li Chang’an opened his eyes, a hint of doubt flashing in them as he looked into the depths of the hall.

What he desired most now was to form his Nascent Soul.

For him, what treasure could be stronger than the opportunity to achieve Nascent Soul?

With this question in mind,

he took a cautious step, slowly venturing deeper into the hall.

The depths of the hall were dark and silent, devoid of any precious light or aura, except for a jade platform crafted from emerald green jade.

On the platform

was a seemingly ordinary jade box.

“Could this be it?”

Li Chang’an cautiously channeled a wisp of magic power and opened the jade box.

Inside the jade box

lay a talisman and a jade slip.

The aura of this talisman was particularly astonishing, far surpassing any talisman Li Chang’an had ever seen in his life, even the fourth-tier talisman Zi Xi had previously used was far inferior.

“Could it be a fifth-tier talisman?”

Thinking of this, even with Li Chang’an’s composure, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

Fifth-tier treasures were always the exclusive domain of Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords.

He concentrated intently, not directly touching the talisman, but carefully observing it for a long time.

The spiritual patterns on this talisman were densely packed, incredibly complex, far exceeding his current talisman-making skills.

He simply couldn’t understand them.

After a while,

Li Chang’an had no choice but to give up and turn his gaze to the jade slip.

“Perhaps the jade slip contains a description of this talisman.”

He carefully separated a wisp of his divine sense and probed into the jade slip.

The next instant,

he heard an aged voice.

“This talisman is called the ‘Revelation Talisman.'”

“As the name suggests, it can be used to tear apart the void of this realm, instantly transporting one to a place millions of miles away.”

“This life-saving treasure can only be used five times; do not waste it…”

Upon hearing this, Li Chang’an was shaken.

Tearing apart the void!

Even a Nascent Soul expert couldn’t do such a thing.

If the words left in this talisman weren’t false, then this talisman truly deserved to be called a life-saving treasure!

“No wonder I had a premonition that this item was more suitable for me.”

Li Chang’an suddenly realized.

For him, a means of survival was indeed more important than the opportunity of reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

This talisman could allow him to survive in the hands of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

If he encountered a hostile Nascent Soul True Monarch, he only needed to use the talisman to tear apart the void and escape to a distant place to shake off their pursuit.

“This talisman is at least a fifth-grade item, but unfortunately it can only be used five times, and its safety cannot be guaranteed. I have to try it once to see if it’s safe.”

“If it’s safe, I’ll have four chances to escape.”

Li Chang’an took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and carefully put the talisman and jade box into his storage bag.

At that moment, he suddenly sensed a strong sense of rejection.

The entire hall seemed to come alive, treating him as an outsider and trying to drive him out immediately.

“There’s still a chance!”

Li Chang’an sensed a glimmer of hope and fought against the divination power within the hall with all his might.

In the instant before he was rejected, he unleashed a burst of magic, grabbing the Ice Spirit Jade and storing it in his storage bag.

The next instant,

everything went black.

“Boom!”

A tremendous force struck, sending him flying.

Li Chang’an was sent flying, crashing heavily outside the main hall.

Seeing this,

everyone was astonished.

They had all entered the main hall before, but none of them had been thrown out; they had all come out unharmed.

Why was Li Chang’an so special?

Just then,

Wei Xu suddenly shouted, “The aura of the Ice Spirit Jade has disappeared!”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked and began to sense the aura of the treasures.

Just as Wei Xu said, the aura of the Ice Spirit Jade had disappeared, while the auras of the other treasures remained.

“Could it be…”

They all looked at Li Chang’an, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Could it be that Li Chang’an was thrown out because he took the Ice Spirit Jade?

Zi Xi secretly transmitted her voice, “Fellow Daoist Li, is that Ice Spirit Jade in your possession?”

“That’s right!”

Li Chang’an did not deny it.

His situation was so unique that even if he denied it, few would believe him.

Zi Xi asked again, “How big is that Ice Spirit Jade?”

Li Chang’an replied, “The size of a human head.”

“To break through to the Nascent Soul stage, you only need an Ice Spirit Jade the size of a fist. The Ice Spirit Jade in your hand is enough for many people.”

Zi Xi’s tone was calm, but her heart was far from calm.

After all, she had failed.

She simply couldn’t understand why Li Chang’an had succeeded.

“Fellow Daoist Li, this Ice Spirit Jade is too valuable. You can’t keep it. Why not offer it to me publicly? I will take the danger for you. I only need half of it; the other half will still belong to you.”

“Alright!”

Li Chang’an didn’t hesitate at all.

A flash of spiritual light appeared in his hand, revealing a translucent jade exuding a chilling aura.

It was the Ice Spirit Jade!

Upon seeing this jade, everyone’s eyes widened.

Even the many Golden Core cultivators of the Zixia Sect felt a surge of greed.

The members of the Huangsha Sect, not far away, were even more eager, their magical power surging as they stared intently at the precious jade in Li Chang’an’s hand, seemingly intending to snatch it.

However, due to Li Chang’an’s astonishing performance in the previous battle, they all temporarily restrained their greed.

Li Chang’an walked directly to Zi Xi and offered the Ice Spirit Jade.

“Holy Maiden, my talent is mediocre, and I have no hope of forming a Nascent Soul. This Ice Spirit Jade is useless to me. You have taken great care of me, and I have no way to repay you. Please accept it.”

“Hmm, you are kind.”

Zi Xi nodded slightly and accepted the Ice Spirit Jade.

The two had discussed this secretly through telepathy, unknown to outsiders.

In everyone’s eyes,

Li Chang’an was simply offering a treasure in exchange for Zi Xi’s continued protection.

Seeing this, the members of the Huangsha Sect helplessly abandoned their idea of snatching the treasure.

They couldn’t possibly snatch the treasure from Zi Xi’s hands.

Even Gu Yunqi and Wei Xu couldn’t take it, let alone ordinary Golden Core cultivators like themselves.

“Li Chang’an is clever enough to know he can’t hold onto this treasure.”

“The Ice Spirit Jade is indeed useless to him.”

And so,

the pressure from the Ice Spirit Jade was transferred to Zi Xi.

Her strength and status were sufficient to withstand this pressure.

However,

everyone still had doubts.

Zi Yun couldn’t wait to ask, “Fellow Daoist Li, why were you able to obtain the treasure? Is there some secret? Can you obtain a second treasure?”

Hearing this, everyone pricked up their ears.

This was a question

everyone present wanted to know the answer to.

Li Chang’an smiled and replied, “There’s no special secret. After I went in, I tested all the treasures one by one, and felt that this Ice Spirit Jade was destined for me, so I took it.”

“Destined for?”

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

It was fate!

The reason they couldn’t obtain the treasures was because they lacked the right opportunity.

As a low-grade spiritual root rogue cultivator, Li Chang’an must have had extremely strong luck and had obtained many opportunities; otherwise, he couldn’t have reached the Core Formation stage.

Wu Shuo sincerely exclaimed, “I truly admire Fellow Daoist Li’s luck.”

“Indeed, Fellow Daoist Li is worthy of being a cultivator with a low-grade spiritual root and a Core Formation stage; I admire him too.”

The crowd chimed in, praising Li Chang’an’s luck and expressing their desire to forge a deeper connection with him.

It is said that

if one spends time with people of great fortune, one’s own fortune will also improve.

Just then, the palace suddenly trembled.

“Crack—”

A startling crack appeared on the palace’s surface.

Immediately afterward,

hundreds and thousands of cracks appeared in succession. ”   Oh no

, this palace is about to collapse!”

The crowd exclaimed in surprise, retreating hastily.

They retreated to a distance, looking at the palace with a hint of anticipation in their eyes.

Would the strange power within the palace disappear after it collapsed?

Would they be able to obtain more treasures? As they pondered this   , they were suddenly astonished to see a fissure appear within the palace.   Clusters of blurry, precious light flew into the fissure and vanished.   ”What happened?”   Before they could even understand…   With a deafening roar, the entire palace collapsed.   Everyone rushed forward, using their magic to clear away the ruins, hoping to find a treasure, but to no avail!

All the treasures flew into the crevice before the palace collapsed.

“Damn it, what is that crevice?”

Some were angry, others regretful.

They had originally wanted to try their luck by going in,

but now,

the chance was gone.

“Sigh, forget it, let’s go look for opportunities elsewhere.”

After a fruitless search, they had no choice but to give up.

Li Chang’an planned to return to Changqing Mountain.

Almost all the areas there had been explored, and there were few opportunities left.

He calculated with his fingers and had a premonition that even if he stayed, he wouldn’t get many treasures; it would just be a waste of time.

Not long after,

he told Zi Xi and the others that he was leaving.

This time, Zi Xi didn’t need to see him off; he only needed to use concealment magic to avoid Gu Yunqi and Wei Xu’s detection.

Before leaving,

Zi Xi called him to the flying boat and quietly gave him half of the Ice Spirit Jade.

This Ice Spirit Jade was enough for him to use when he reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Of course,

in Zi Xi’s view, Li Chang’an would never reach the Nascent Soul stage; it could only be left to his descendants.

“This Ice Spirit Jade will benefit me greatly. My previous promise remains unchanged. Once I successfully form my Nascent Soul, I will try my best to resolve the conflict between you and True Monarch Huangsha. If True Monarch Huangsha does not agree, I will protect you for life.”

“Thank you, Holy Maiden.”

“No need to thank me. Consider it payment for this Ice Spirit Jade.”

Afterwards, Zi Xi and Li Chang’an signed a purchase contract.

From then on,

every so often,

Li Chang’an would provide Zi Xi or the Zixia Sect with a batch of third-tier pills and magic weapons.

He gained a stable sales channel.

After signing the contract,

Li Chang’an left quietly.

…

A few days later,

he returned to Changqing Mountain and took out the Realm-Splitting Talisman.

“Let’s see how effective this is.”

To be on the safe side, Li Chang’an did not test it with his true form.

He held the talisman with his Blood Avatar, facing south, and activated it.

The next instant,

an astonishing power, enveloping his Blood Avatar, instantly tore through space and disappeared from Changqing Mountain.

In the blink of an eye, the Blood Avatar appeared deep within the Black Dragon Mountains in the south!

Moreover,

the Blood Avatar was unharmed and had not suffered any damage.

“What a wonderful treasure!”

Li Chang’an’s face lit up with joy; the effect of this item was indeed as described in the jade slip.

He looked at the talisman and saw that the spiritual patterns on it had dimmed considerably.

“Four chances remain; I can’t waste them.” With

this treasure,

his confidence in dealing with Liu Feiyan had increased significantly.

Even if True Monarch Huangsha attacked, he could use this treasure to escape.

“After planning for so many years, it’s time to make a move against Liu Feiyan.”

Over the years, all

the Golden Core cultivators in the Mandarin Duck Valley,

except for Liu Feiyan, had been controlled by Li Chang’an. He

had also controlled a large portion of the Golden Core cultivators in the Hundred Beasts Sect.

In the days that followed,

Li Chang’an continuously instigated conflict between the two sects, causing the Golden Core cultivators to fight each other.

Within a single month, several Golden Core cultivators had perished, and the entire Western Region was shaken by this bloody battle.

Finally,

Liu Feiyan couldn’t sit still any longer.

She took the initiative to propose peace talks with the Hundred Beasts Sect.

Just like before, the ceasefire would be discussed in the middle of the areas controlled by the two sects.

Liu Feiyan’s expression was cold as she drafted the spiritual contract for the peace talks.

“Once this matter is over, we will deal with Li Chang’an at all costs. That brat has lived far too long!”
