Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 314

Chapter 314 Nascent Soul’s Killing Intent, Ominous Divination Reappears (Seeking Subscriptions)

After receiving the promise ,

Liu Feiyan cooperated quite well .

In fact, the hostility and hatred in her eyes almost disappeared.

It seemed that as long as she could be a pair of doomed lovers with Fan Wei, she didn’t care about anything else.

Li Chang’an asked her, “What is Huangsha Zhenjun’s cultivation level?”

“Early Nascent Soul stage, Nascent Soul quality is True Nascent Soul, I don’t know his specific strength, I haven’t reached the Nascent Soul realm, so I can’t accurately judge.”

Liu Feiyan slowly explained, truthfully.

It was indeed difficult for a Golden Core cultivator to judge the specific strength of a Nascent Soul Zhenjun.

Li Chang’an didn’t make things difficult for her on this issue.

“Fellow Daoist Liu, what is your relationship with Fan Wei?”

He asked this long-buried question.

Although he had already guessed, he still wanted to know the truth from Liu Feiyan.

“He and I are childhood sweethearts, we grew up in the same mortal kingdom, searched for immortality together, entered the Mandarin Duck Valley together, and even became disciples of the same master…”

Speaking of this, a trace of sadness flashed in Liu Feiyan’s eyes.

According to her…

After both she and Fan Wei reached the Foundation Establishment stage, they intended to become Daoist partners.

However, the then-Holy Son of the Huangsha Sect took a liking to her and, using ruthless methods, threatened Fan Wei’s life to force her into a Daoist partnership with him.

That Holy Son of the Huangsha Sect is none other than the current Huangsha True Monarch.

After that,

Fan Wei became disheartened, believing that Liu Feiyan had no feelings for him, and became a Daoist partner with another female cultivator.

“So that’s how it is.”

This matter was similar to Li Chang’an’s guess. The

reason why there wasn’t much related news from the outside world was purely because this matter involved the Nascent Soul expert, Huangsha True Monarch.

Huangsha True Monarch’s feelings for Liu Feiyan were indeed genuine, otherwise he wouldn’t have given her so many treasures.

But his methods were not honorable.

However,

in the cultivation world, the strong prey on the weak.

Throughout the entire history of the cultivation world, such things have happened countless times.

After some questioning, Li Chang’an asked about the key.

“Where did you obtain this key?” “

Within the secret realm.”

Liu Feiyan explained in detail how she obtained the key.

Of course, like Master Shi Hu, she hadn’t cultivated the Ancient Evergreen Technique and didn’t know the key’s specific function, only that it was extraordinary.

Over the years,

she had tried various methods, but the key hadn’t reacted to her at all.

Furthermore, she had inquired about the key and

unexpectedly learned that

besides her, another disciple of the Huangsha Sect had also obtained such a key.

Hearing this, Li Chang’an’s spirits lifted.

“Oh? Who is that person? How strong is he?”

“That person is Huangsha’s eldest disciple, Gu Yunqi, currently the strongest holy son of the Huangsha Sect.”

“So it’s him.”

Li Chang’an frowned slightly; this person wouldn’t be easy to deal with.

Gu Yunqi’s strength should be comparable to Zi Xi’s, almost invincible below the Nascent Soul stage.

He must possess many tricks up his sleeve.

Li Chang’an suspected

that even against a true Nascent Soul True Monarch, this guy could hold out for a while.

Even outside the Huangsha Sect, killing him wouldn’t be easy.

Moreover,

that guy had been staying within the Huangsha Sect for many years.

Li Chang’an asked, “Does Gu Yunqi have any weaknesses? Can you lure him out of the Huangsha Sect?”

“Weaknesses… I don’t know.”

Liu Feiyan pondered for

a moment, then shook her head. “However, he urgently needs an ancient treasure pill. His previous departures from the Huangsha Sect were all for that pill. If you have that pill, there’s hope of luring him out.”

“What pill?”

“The Earth Cloud Huangsha Pill.”

Liu Feiyan slowly spoke, uttering a pill name that Li Chang’an was very familiar with.

She continued, “Although this pill is only a third-tier pill, its formula has long been lost. It’s not found in any alchemy lineage, and even the fourth-tier alchemists of the Huangsha Sect don’t know how to refine it.”

“It’s this pill!”

Li Chang’an’s heart stirred slightly. He happened to possess the formula for the Earth Cloud Huangsha Pill!

Previously,

he had helped Qi Yao obtain the inheritance of a senior alchemist.

That inheritance contained more than ten ancient pill formulas, including the Earth Cloud Huangsha Pill.

According to the pill formula, this pill is suitable for cultivators with earth-elemental spiritual roots, and its benefits are particularly pronounced for cultivators with the “Yellow Sand Spiritual Body” physique.

“Could Gu Yunqi be a Yellow Sand Spiritual Body?”

“Yes!”

Liu Feiyan looked at Li Chang’an with surprise.

“He has exceptional talent, an earth-elemental spiritual root, and the Yellow Sand Spiritual Body. His core quality is an Immortal Golden Core, which is why he stands out among the holy sons and daughters, becoming the most promising candidate for Nascent Soul in the entire Yellow Sand Sect.”

“Immortal Golden Core…”

Li Chang’an pondered for a moment.

The only Immortal Golden Core cultivators he knew before were himself and Ye Mengxian.

Furthermore, Ye Mengxian formed her Golden Core because of her special physique.

A Golden Core of this quality is extremely difficult to achieve.

Once achieved,

one’s strength far surpasses that of cultivators of the same level.

“Judging from this, Zi Xi should also be an Immortal Golden Core cultivator. She also possesses an Earth Spiritual Root and a Spiritual Body, and has a Nascent Soul True Monarch as her master. Her conditions in all aspects are almost identical to Gu Yunqi’s.”

Li Chang’an planned to ask Zi Yun about Zi Xi’s specific strength when he had time.

As Zi Xi’s younger sister, Zi Yun should know quite a bit.

Based on Zi Xi’s strength, Gu Yunqi’s strength could be deduced.

In any case,

Gu Yunqi must be killed.

This person already harbored hostility towards him and possessed the last key; a way must be found to eliminate him.

If he were allowed to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, Li Chang’an would face an even greater threat.

“From now on, I need to ascertain his strength and find a way to gather the necessary treasures to refine the Earth Cloud Yellow Sand Pill.”

Li Chang’an had already memorized the recipe for the Earth Cloud Yellow Sand Pill.

Most of the treasures were ordinary.

However, a few were extremely precious, and most Golden Core cultivators had never even heard of them.

“The Thousand-Year Earth Pattern Ginseng, the Spirit Cloud Fruit, and the Yellow Sand Star Crystal were plentiful in ancient times, but almost impossible to find in the current cultivation world. I wonder if they can be replaced.”

These three treasures were the biggest headache for Li Chang’an; the others were fine.

He then inquired about various details concerning Gu Yunqi.

However, Liu Feiyan didn’t know much either.

Having spent many years in the Mandarin Duck Valley, her understanding of Gu Yunqi was mostly from what she had heard from True Monarch Yellow Sand; she hadn’t had much interaction with him personally.

After some questioning,

Li Chang’an waved his hand, recalling Liu Feiyan into his Soul-Bearing Banner.

He kept his promise, allowing Liu Feiyan and Fan Yunfei to meet within the Soul-Bearing Banner, even arranging a separate space for them.

Previously, the two, under pressure from True Monarch Huangsha, dared not have much contact.

Now, they seemed more at ease.

“These two truly are doomed lovers, both reduced to mere souls,”

Li Chang’an remarked, glancing at them before withdrawing his gaze and putting away the Soul-Bearing Banner.

Afterward,

he began to tally up all his spoils.

While Mandarin Duck Valley possessed a vast accumulation over a thousand years, most of it was useless to him and would have to be sold off gradually.

During his inventory,

news of the incident at Mandarin Duck Valley gradually spread.

Initially,

many didn’t believe it.

Mandarin Duck Valley was arguably the number one Golden Core power in the entire Western and Southern Regions, and Liu Feiyan, who controlled it, was True Monarch Huangsha’s Daoist partner.

Who would dare to be so bold as to attack Mandarin Duck Valley?

However,

soon more detailed information emerged.

“What? The treasure vault and library of Yuanyang Valley are empty?”

“The soul lamps of the Golden Core cultivators have all gone out?”

“…”

These reports were increasingly shocking.

Soon, many Golden Core cultivators from various Western Regions forces arrived at Yuanyang Valley and confirmed the matter.

Due to the ambiguous attitude of True Monarch Huangsha,

although everyone intended to divide up the numerous industries controlled by Yuanyang Valley, no action was taken for the time being.

However,

many forces in the Southern Region took action!

Gu Qinghong summoned the Golden Core cultivators from various forces to gather at the Qingyun Sect to discuss a counterattack.

Throughout the Southern Region,

except for Li Chang’an’s Changqing Mountain, everyone received Gu Qinghong’s message.

As for Li Chang’an,

everyone had already assumed he wouldn’t come.

In the Western and Southern Regions, Changqing Mountain held a rather special position.

If it weren’t for offending Yuanyang Valley, it could be considered a neutral force.

Li Chang’an rarely took the initiative to attack, and his few visits to the battlefields were unremarkable, mostly consisting of passive defense.

Now that Yuanyang Valley was in trouble,

Li Chang’an’s name quickly disappeared from the Western Regions’ wanted list.

The other Golden Core forces in the Western Regions did not consider him an enemy.

“That Li Chang’an is nothing but a coward; there’s no need to deal with him. If we really conquer the Southern Region, we can accept him as a citizen of the Western Regions.”

The various forces in the Western Regions were already well aware of Li Chang’an’s character.

Therefore,

although the war between the two regions intensified, Li Chang’an had become an almost invisible, marginal figure.

In fact, many cultivators from both regions, weary of the war, brought their families to Changqing Mountain, requesting Li Chang’an to accept them.

Changqing Mountain had now become a haven of peace.   Li Chang’an was pleased with

this .   ”Fighting and killing are no good; peaceful cultivation is the right path.”   In this increasingly chaotic world, he enjoyed a rare moment of tranquility.   Not long after,   taking advantage of the weakness and chaos in the Western Regions, many cultivators from the Southern Regions launched a counterattack.   In less than a month, they pushed the battle line back to the original border between the two regions.   Thus…

The ancient ruins and secret realm were once again evenly divided between the two sides.

The fighting around them grew increasingly brutal.

Li Chang’an had heard

that more sect ruins and treasures had recently appeared within the realm.

Several people had already obtained Nascent Soul opportunities there.

Because of this,

neither side was willing to yield.

Inside and outside the ruins, the corpses of cultivators from both domains were piled up layer upon layer, the entire ground soaked in blood.

“Truly horrific,”

Li Chang’an thought to himself, seeing the news in his hand.

“Once the fighting subsides a bit, I’ll use my Golden Core puppets to explore the realm further; after all, there are Nascent Soul opportunities.”

He didn’t plan to go now.

He had protected his Golden Core puppets exceptionally well during this bloody war between the two domains.

After all, a puppet’s life mattered too.

Just then,

midnight arrived.

A golden light appeared before Li Chang’an’s eyes.

[The divination has been updated]

[Today’s divination: Ominous]

[Huangsha Zhenjun suddenly tore up the spiritual contract and attacked you. You used the Realm-Splitting Talisman to tear through the void and escape, but this escape method convinced Huangsha Zhenjun that you were the culprit.]

“An ominous divination?”

Li Chang’an was shocked upon seeing the divination.

Huangsha Zhenjun disregarded the backlash of the spiritual contract and attacked him without concrete evidence.

“My cultivation is still shallow; I am no match for him. I should avoid his sharp edge and let Senior Jiang handle this matter.”

Li Chang’an’s figure flickered, and he arrived at Jiang Muyu’s cave.

Jiang Muyu was still cultivating.

She asked in confusion, “Young Master, what happened?”

“Muyu, a friend of mine told me that Huangsha Zhenjun plans to attack me. You should contact Senior Jiang immediately.”

“Ah?”

Jiang Muyu’s expression changed slightly.

She hurriedly took out her communication treasure and explained the matter to her father, Jiang Xuanyuan.

Afterward, the two left Changqing Mountain together, leaving not even their avatars behind, and flew eastward.

On the way, Jiang Muyu said angrily, “Young Master, that True Monarch Huangsha is shameless! A dignified Nascent Soul True Monarch, he actually attacked you, a junior, twice.”

Li Chang’an said calmly, “In his eyes, we are not juniors, but ants. Crushing a few ants is no big deal.”

Different status and strength lead to different mindsets.

Jiang Muyu gritted her teeth, feeling resentful.

“Young Master, I will definitely achieve Nascent Soul and kill True Monarch Huangsha for you!”

She also believed that Li Chang’an could not achieve Nascent Soul; the Golden Core stage was the limit, and even if he died, he could not defeat True Monarch Huangsha.

Because of this,

she secretly vowed that she would not slack off in the future and would definitely become a Nascent Soul to avenge Li Chang’an.

Li Chang’an smiled and did not say anything more.

It was good for her to have a goal.

Since having Jiang Xuanyuan, a Nascent Soul True Monarch, as her father, Jiang Muyu’s sense of urgency in cultivation was not as strong as before.

During their conversation, the two did not pause at all.

Finally.

Halfway there, they encountered Jiang Xuanyuan, who had come from the Eastern Region.

Jiang Xuanyuan was somewhat puzzled by Huangsha Zhenjun’s breaking of the spiritual contract.

“Young friend Li, is the information provided by your friend truly trustworthy?”

“Senior Jiang, rest assured, my friend has never lied to me,”

Li Chang’an replied sincerely.

Since the divination appeared, it had indeed not deceived him, helping him escape several near-death experiences.

Jiang Xuanyuan then asked, “Have you recently done anything to anger Huangsha Zhenjun?”

“Senior Jiang, I’ve been focused on cultivation and have never actively provoked anyone,”

Li Chang’an said firmly and sincerely.

“However, Huangsha Zhenjun’s disciple and Daoist partner have both encountered misfortune; he might suspect me.”

“Oh? Tell me more…”

Jiang Xuanyuan had recently been dealing with the Wang family, a Nascent Soul clan in the north.

The Eastern and Northern Regions were also at war, and the conflict between the Great Qi and the Wang family was becoming increasingly acute, so he hadn’t paid much attention to the affairs of the Western and Southern Regions.

On their way back to Changqing Mountain…

Li Chang’an explained in detail to Jiang Xuanyuan what had happened in the two regions.

After he finished speaking,

Changqing Mountain was already in sight.

In the courtyard of Changqing Mountain, a cultivator dressed in a yellow robe stood with his hands behind his back.

His expression was cold and stern, his aura sharp, and his whole body was filled with powerful True Monarch magic power.

It was none other than True Monarch Huangsha!

Jiang Xuanyuan stepped forward and said in a deep voice, “Fellow Daoist Huangsha, why did you tear up the spiritual contract?”

True Monarch Huangsha replied, “Naturally, it was to kill Li Chang’an!”

“I want to know the reason.”

As he spoke, Jiang Xuanyuan’s True Monarch magic power spread out.

The auras of the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs clashed head-on on Changqing Mountain.

The wind and clouds in the world changed.

A gale howled, dark clouds gathered, and a storm was brewing.

True Monarch Huangsha glanced at Li Chang’an, his eyes particularly cold and full of killing intent.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, my disciple and Daoist partner have died one after another. This boy is a suspect.”

“Fellow Daoist Huangsha, Li Chang’an is only at the early Golden Core stage. Do you really think he has the ability to kill your beloved disciple and Daoist partner?”

Jiang Xuanyuan spoke bluntly.

No matter how you looked at it, Li Chang’an, a rogue cultivator at the early Golden Core stage, couldn’t possibly have killed those two.

True Monarch Huangsha naturally understood this as well.

Li Chang’an’s suspicion was extremely small, almost nonexistent.

But, even with only a sliver of suspicion,

he deserved to die!

A dignified True Monarch wouldn’t need many reasons to kill a Golden Core cultivator.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, are you really going to protect him?”

“That’s right!”

Jiang Xuanyuan’s attitude was firm, refusing to yield an inch.

Seeing this, True Monarch Huangsha stopped wasting words.

“Very well, I’ve long admired Fellow Daoist Jiang’s extraordinary abilities; today I’ll test them!”

With that, he soared into the sky, his robes fluttering, his aura rising steadily.

Jiang Xuanyuan also soared into the sky.

The two did not fight near Changqing Mountain, but instead went deep into the Black Dragon Mountain Range, avoiding the many low-level cultivators, and fought in the territory of the demon beasts.

On this day,

the terrifying aura of the two Nascent Soul cultivators’ battle shook the entire Black Dragon Mountain Range.

Some saw a vast, endless river of yellow sand descend from the sky, seemingly about to engulf the entire world.

Others saw a long, azure spear appear out of nowhere, its sharpness fully revealed, as if about to pierce the vast universe!

When this battle ended,

countless mountains below crumbled, leaving the earth scarred and devastated.

Due to this Nascent Soul battle, the war between the Western and Southern Regions came to a halt.

Finally,

True Monarch Huangsha departed.

Jiang Xuanyuan returned to Changqing Mountain, his aura slightly more disordered than before.

Li Chang’an hurriedly asked, “Senior, are you alright?”

“I’m fine, it was just a sparring match. That Huang Sha wanted to test my strength.”

Jiang Xuanyuan shook his head slightly, his aura quickly returning to normal.

He had only recently advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, and his foundation was indeed not as deep as Huang Sha Zhenjun’s.

However, the difference between the two was not significant.

Both were early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

Jiang Xuanyuan said, “I have renewed the spiritual contract with him, and he will not cause you any more trouble in the future.”

Li Chang’an was still somewhat uneasy.

“Senior, I’m just afraid of what might happen.”

“Don’t worry, I told him that if he dares to attack you again, I will kill his disciples and descendants!”

Hearing this,

Li Chang’an finally felt more at ease.

Of course, even if Huang Sha Zhenjun disregarded the lives of his disciples and descendants and attacked again, Li Chang’an could obtain the divination in advance to escape.

At worst, he could abandon Changqing Mountain, hide his identity, and return to settle scores after becoming a Zhenjun!

News

of this Nascent Soul battle quickly spread throughout the entire cultivation world of Zhao Kingdom, causing a great stir.

Nascent Soul True Monarchs rarely fought each other.

At the Nascent Soul level, their only pursuit was the path to Deity Transformation and Ascension; there was no need to risk their lives for minor conflicts.

The entire Zhao Kingdom hadn’t seen a true Nascent Soul battle for a long time.

Many were speculating about the identities of the two sides and the reasons for their conflict.

Inside the Yellow Sand Sect.

True Monarch Yellow Sand, his face grim, summoned his eldest disciple Gu Yunqi and third disciple Wei Xu.

“You two brothers, kill that Li Chang’an as soon as possible, don’t disappoint me.”

He sat high above, his aura powerful, and bestowed two True Monarch decrees.

The two accepted the decrees.

“Yes, we will obey Master’s decree!”

They naturally guessed that one of the True Monarchs who had attacked earlier was their master.

That Yellow Sand Heavenly River was True Monarch Yellow Sand’s signature treasure!

“Master is in a bad mood; we must kill that Li Chang’an as soon as possible.”

After the two withdrew, they discussed the matter seriously.

…

Meanwhile, inside the Purple Cloud Sect.

A young cultivator emerged from his secluded cultivation spot, his body radiating the power of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

If Li Chang’an were here, he would naturally recognize him.

This man was none other than Liu Xuanfeng.

Years ago, he had repeatedly targeted Li Chang’an in the Southern Region, later returning to the Zixia Sect to form his Golden Core, after which he disappeared without a trace.

“Secluded cultivation for many years, I wonder what changes have occurred in the outside world,”

Liu Xuanfeng said with a smile, visiting an old acquaintance.

After a few words,

his smile suddenly froze.

“What did you say? That Li Chang’an of Changqing Mountain actually formed his Golden Core?”
