Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 317

Chapter 317 Changing the World, Wei Xu Collapses (Please Subscribe)

The three array masters all had concerns.

This place was the heart of the Southern Region; if the commotion was too great, it would surely attract other Golden Core cultivators from the Southern Region.

Furthermore,

Li Chang’an was on good terms with Zi Xi.

They feared that if they couldn’t kill him quickly enough, Zi Xi would intervene.

At that point, things would become troublesome.

Perhaps,

all three of them would be left here.

“Rest assured, fellow Daoists!”

Wei Xu confidently promised.

“As long as the Changqing Mountain array is broken, I can kill Li Chang’an in ten breaths at most.”

“Ten breaths?”

The three array masters secretly discussed the matter and felt it was feasible.

With Wei Xu’s late-stage Golden Core cultivation, killing Li Chang’an, a rogue cultivator in the early Golden Core stage, might not take ten breaths.

However, to be on the safe side,

they didn’t break the array directly.

“Holy Son, we wish to set up a concealing array here to hide the sounds of your battle with Li Chang’an.”

“Excellent!”

Wei Xu immediately agreed.

Soon, the three began setting up their trap around Changqing Mountain.

They thought they were being very discreet.

Little did they know,

Li Chang’an was watching everything.

He didn’t stop them, simply letting them do as they pleased.

“Three people delivering materials,”

Li Chang’an smirked, watching them bustle about.

That night,

his true form, along with Song Yu’er, quietly returned from Qingyun Sect.

While the Blood Avatar was good, its strength was ultimately insufficient; his true form still had to act personally.

Not long after, it was midnight.

A golden light appeared before his eyes.

[The divination has been updated]

[Today’s Divination – Auspicious]

[You discovered Wei Xu attacking the mountain, used divination to capture him, and found the rare treasure “Millennial Earth Pattern Ginseng” in his storage bag.]

“Millennial Earth Pattern Ginseng, just in time!”

Li Chang’an’s heart stirred. This treasure was one of the core materials needed to refine the Earth Cloud Yellow Sand Pill.

He was worried that this thing was too rare; there were hardly any in the current cultivation world.

Wei Xu had brought it to him!

Just as he was thinking…

The surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly underwent subtle changes.

The three array masters had jointly set up a massive array that blotted out the sky.

This array enveloped the entire Evergreen Mountain, isolating it from external perception, and used an illusion array to maintain the previous appearance of Evergreen Mountain to prevent outsiders from noticing anything amiss.

“This array is not bad, but there are more than ten minor details that can be slightly modified to make it more perfect,”

Li Chang’an commented briefly.

His array skills were superior to the three of them, and he immediately saw some flaws and loopholes.

“The array is complete, it’s time for them to make their move.”

Sure enough.

In just over ten breaths,

the three array masters simultaneously began to break the Five Elements Transformation Array on Evergreen Mountain.

“This array is somewhat mysterious, it should have incorporated techniques from ancient array arts.”

“However, it won’t stump us!”

“Break it quickly, Li Chang’an should have already noticed!”

The three were quite well prepared.

They simultaneously used the technique of breaking an array with another array, and also used a high-grade third-tier array-breaking treasure shaped like a round bead.

In an instant.

The treasures shone brightly, their brilliance resembling a radiant moon.

The entire Changqing Mountain formation froze in that instant.

“Break!”

the three shouted in unison, channeling their prepared formation into the Five Elements Transformation Formation, instantly disrupting the flow of spiritual energy within.

Simultaneously, they swiftly removed array patterns and artifacts used to set up the formation.

In the blink of an eye,

the Five Elements Transformation Formation became incomplete, unable to operate at full power.

“Li Chang’an, these array-setting treasures of yours are quite good; we’ll gladly accept them.”

They knew Li Chang’an must have noticed, given the commotion, so they no longer concealed themselves. Not long

after,

the Changqing Mountain formation was completely broken.

The entire process went smoothly, entirely within the three’s expectations.

“Holy Son, the formation is broken; we can proceed.”

“Alright, thank you all for your assistance!”

Wei Xu, smiling from afar, transformed into a streak of light and instantly landed on Changqing Mountain.

He was about to smash Li Chang’an’s cave dwelling.

But in the blink of an eye,

he was shocked to find himself back where he started.

“What’s going on? I was clearly already inside the courtyard, why am I back here?”

He frowned, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

This was too strange.

Wei Xu acted decisively, no longer attempting to attack Changqing Mountain, and immediately transformed into a streak of light, trying to leave the area.

But in the blink of an eye, he was back where he started.

“This…”

Wei Xu’s expression gradually turned grim.

In the mortal world, there’s a saying about being trapped in a maze, which is very similar to his current situation.

He tried many times, using various methods, but he still couldn’t leave.

Not only him.

The other three also noticed the anomaly.

“Something’s wrong, we clearly broke Changqing Mountain’s formation, why has it been restored?”

“This place is strange, everything is in chaos.”

“We can’t stay here any longer, retreat quickly!”

The three of them retreated simultaneously, transforming into streaks of light and flying towards the outside of the protective formation they had set up.

But as soon as they flew out of the great formation, before they could even rejoice, they found themselves back where they started!

And,

to their shock, they discovered that

the protective formation they had personally set up was no longer under their control!

“Why is this? Could there be a fourth-tier formation master here with even greater array skills?”

They couldn’t help but suspect that they were trapped within a fourth-tier formation, otherwise, this anomaly was inexplicable.

But where in the Southern Region would a fourth-tier formation master

come from? The three tried many times, but to no avail, and had no choice but to seek help from Wei Xu.

“Holy Son, do you have a way to escape this place?”

They all rushed to Wei Xu’s side, hoping he would lead them away.

But Wei Xu was also helpless.

“The Evergreen Mountain formation was clearly broken, yet it was restored, indicating that everything before was an illusion. I tried many times to get away from this place, but even if I escaped hundreds of miles away, I would return to this place in the next instant. Sometimes I was clearly moving forward, but I was constantly retreating…”

Recalling the previous scenes, Wei Xu’s heart grew heavier and heavier.

This feeling was all too familiar to him.   It was

a blur of reality and illusion, truth and falsehood, a chaotic disorientation…   He had felt the same way when he entered the palace of the Great Jin ruins!   “What kind of method is this?”   At this moment, Wei Xu finally understood.   Li Chang’an’s ability to obtain the treasures within that palace wasn’t due to his good fortune, but because he possessed the same method!   After a moment of contemplation, Wei Xu said to the other three, “The three of you, let’s join forces and attack one point, using our strongest methods.”   “Alright, we agree!”   All three had no objections and planned to attack together,   using absolute power to shatter all illusions!   But what happened next was beyond everyone’s expectations.   They clearly attacked one corner together, but the spells they unleashed scattered in all directions, failing to coalesce—a bizarre situation beyond description.   “Why is this happening?”   The three array masters grew increasingly uneasy and anxious.   They were about to join forces again.   But soon, they discovered even more anomalies.   ”Something’s not right. Why do I feel like the three of you are so far away?”   ”I feel the same way!”   The four looked at each other, their eyes filled with doubt and unease.   They were clearly standing together, yet they felt as if they were separated by millions of miles, filled with an indescribable sense of distance.   One of them seemed to remember something and exclaimed in surprise,   ”Shifting Heaven and Earth, confusing mysteries—this is the technique of a fourth-tier divination master!”   ”What?”   Wei Xu and the other two formation masters were all shocked.   Any skill reaching the fourth tier was enough to make a Nascent Soul True Monarch take notice, and divination was one of the most important skills.   If it was truly a fourth-tier technique, it was normal for them to be trapped.   But Li Chang’an was just a rogue cultivator in the early Golden Core stage; how could he possess such a technique?   Wei Xu took a deep breath, suppressing his surprise and shock.   There was no time to think about it now.   ”It seems I must use every means at my disposal, otherwise my life or death today is uncertain!”   With that, he was about to take out all his trump cards from his storage bag.   But then he suddenly froze.   ”My storage bag…”   Wei Xu’s face stiffened; his storage bag was gone without him noticing!   And not only his.   The storage bags of the three array masters had also vanished.   Before they could react, they were horrified to find themselves in the courtyard of Changqing Mountain.   ”Guests from afar, please have a seat, fellow Daoists!”   Li Chang’an smiled warmly.   Neatly arranged before him were four storage bags—those of Wei Xu and the three array masters.   ”Li Chang’an!”   Wei Xu’s face hardened with killing intent; he could no longer suppress his pent-up frustration. He flashed forward, charging straight at Li Chang’an.

But the strange situation recurred.

He was clearly approaching Li Chang’an, yet he was getting further and further away.

When he stopped, it was as if he had never left; he was still in the courtyard, still standing with the three array masters.

An indescribable sense of powerlessness rose in his heart.

He possessed immense cultivation, but it was utterly useless.

He could only watch helplessly as Li Chang’an rummaged through his storage bag.

“A thousand-year-old earth-patterned ginseng, this is exactly what I need. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wei, for bringing it.”

Li Chang’an smiled, and a flash of spiritual light appeared in his hand, revealing a precious ginseng, its entire body a yellowish-brown color.

This ginseng had four thin root systems, resembling human limbs, in addition to hundreds and thousands of fine rootlets, emitting an alluring medicinal fragrance.

Big Yellow’s eyes lit up, its face full of flattery, and it came to Li Chang’an wagging its tail.

Li Chang’an smiled and said, “Don’t rush, this thing is still useful.”

He put it away and continued to examine other treasures.

As the Holy Son of the Huangsha Sect, Wei Xu naturally possessed many treasures in his storage bag, but the high-level treasures all bore the divine imprint of Huangsha Zhenjun.

Li Chang’an didn’t touch them, only selecting some ordinary treasures he could use.

The storage bags of the other three array masters also contained many treasures, mostly array-setting materials.

“The array-setting treasures of the three of you are all quite good, so I’ll gladly accept them,”

Li Chang’an said to the three with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the three’s faces turned extremely ugly.

Just a moment ago,

they had said the same thing to Li Chang’an.

In the blink of an eye, their positions had reversed.

One of them, unwilling to die here, said, “Fellow Daoist Li, we all hold high positions within the Huangsha Sect. If we all perish, it will surely attract attention. Why don’t you release us? I swear I will not reveal what happened today!” “

Yes, I am also willing to swear an oath of Dao heart!”

“Fellow Daoist Li, I know you dislike fighting and killing. Why attract the attention of the Huangsha Sect for the sake of a few of us?”

the other two chimed in.

While begging for mercy, they analyzed the situation for Li Chang’an.

Li Chang’an smiled faintly, “I do not like fighting, but since the three of you have come to my door, it would be a shame not to show some appreciation.”

As for the Huangsha Sect,

True Monarch Huangsha had already set his sights on them, so a little more attention wouldn’t hurt.

Li Chang’an flicked his finger, sending out three beams of green light that condensed into wood seeds within the three men’s bodies.

A moment later,

all three became puppets.

Li Chang’an put them away, leaving only Wei Xu.

“Fellow Daoist Wei, how strong is your senior brother Gu Yunqi? What specific methods does he have?”

Wei Xu was filled with resentment, his killing intent still undiminished.

He did not answer, but only shouted,

“Li Chang’an, do you dare to fight me head-on?”

“It seems Fellow Daoist Wei is unwilling to cooperate.”

Li Chang’an shook his head slightly, flicking out a beam of green light.

In an instant, the wood seed took shape.

Countless fine branches began to spread within Wei Xu’s body.

“Li Chang’an, what kind of magic is this?”

Sensing the changes within himself, Wei Xu’s expression changed drastically.

He felt his flesh and meridians being devoured inch by inch, as if an unseen demon was secretly seizing his body.

Furthermore,

the golden core magic power emanating from those dense branches was even purer than his own.

“How can this be? I am a half-step Immortal Golden Core cultivator. Only true Immortal Golden Core magic power could be purer than mine, yet you…”

Wei Xu was utterly shocked, staring at Li Chang’an.

The reason he had been clamoring for a direct confrontation was because he had sufficient confidence in his own magic power and strength.

Ignoring his fourth-tier divination skills

, his cultivation level and the quality of his golden core were enough to crush Li Chang’an.

But now,

Wei Xu finally realized,

“You are also an Immortal Golden Core cultivator!”

“Also?”

Li Chang’an seemed thoughtful.

It seemed Liu Feiyan hadn’t lied to him; Gu Yunqi was indeed an Immortal Golden Core cultivator.

“Fellow Daoist Wei, I want to know more about your senior brother Gu Yunqi. If you cooperate, I will release you, as long as you swear never to harm me again.”

“Is this true?” “

Of course it is. I, Li Chang’an, have always kept my word. Otherwise, how could I establish myself in the Southern Region?” “

I don’t believe it!”

Wei Xu desperately mobilized all his magical power, trying to break free from the control of the Wood Seed Technique.

However,

no matter what he did, it was all in vain.

That pure and powerful Immortal Golden Core magical power filled him with despair.

“Li Chang’an, with such strength, why did you have to hide it?”

Wei Xu’s eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Li Chang’an, roaring as he asked.

If he had known earlier that Li Chang’an was an Immortal Golden Core cultivator and possessed fourth-tier skills, he would never have accepted Huangsha Zhenjun’s decree.

But now, it was too late to say anything, and no amount of regret could help.

Li Chang’an said calmly, “Fellow Daoist Wei, if I hadn’t hidden it, I’m afraid your master would have killed me at all costs. If it were you, what would you have done?”

“I…”

Wei Xu suddenly froze.

If their roles were reversed

, he would have concealed his abilities as well.

Thinking of this,

Wei Xu suddenly slumped to the ground, his face filled with dejection, completely devoid of his previous spirit.

He understood that Li Chang’an must still be hiding many tricks up his sleeve. Even without any cultivation techniques, relying solely on his own magical power and spells, he was no match for Li Chang’an.

In this battle,

he had suffered a complete and utter defeat!

His pride and confidence as the Holy Son of the Yellow Sands had utterly crumbled at this moment.

Next,

regarding Li Chang’an’s questions…

Wei Xu stopped resisting and honestly answered everything.

“My senior brother does indeed need the Earth Cloud Yellow Sand Pill.”

“That day in the secret realm, the reason he came to me was because I unexpectedly found an Earth Cloud Yellow Sand Pill with minimal loss of efficacy in the spirit mine.” “

I originally intended to send it to the Yellow Sand Sect for him, but he felt it wasn’t safe enough and came personally from the Yellow Sand Sect, showing how much he values this kind of pill…”

Wei Xu knew more about Gu Yunqi’s situation than Liu Feiyan.

Li Chang’an asked him, “Does Gu Yunqi also cultivate his body?”

“No.”

“Did True Monarch Yellow Sand sever a portion of his divine consciousness to protect him?”

“No, Master only severed his divine consciousness once, for that old woman Liu Feiyan…”

“…”

After a series of questions,

Li Chang’an gained a better understanding of Gu Yunqi.

Of course, Wei Xu wasn’t Gu Yunqi himself and couldn’t know the full extent of his abilities. Gu

Yunqi likely had many more tricks up his sleeve.

After the questioning,

Li Chang’an activated the Wood Seed Technique, completely controlling Wei Xu.

He calculated the approximate location of Liu Haichao and his son, and manipulated Wei Xu to go there.

“Both the Huangsha Sect and the Zixia Sect have already entered the fray. It’s normal for these two to fight; they shouldn’t notice anything amiss.”

…

The next day.

Both Nascent Soul sects officially announced their competition for the ancient ruins.

Although neither side declared war, the atmosphere was already tense.

For the next month.

Disciples from both sects flocked to the Western and Southern Regions to join the war between the two regions.

Over the past ten thousand years, the two sects had accumulated countless conflicts and had secretly fought countless times.

It was common for their disciples to kill each other.

After that.

The stench of blood inside and outside the ancient ruins grew stronger.

The area at the border of the two regions was blood-red, even the sky was stained crimson.

On this day.

Li Chang’an heard that

Zi Xi and Gu Yunqi had faced off in the ancient ruins, their battle ending in a draw.

“These two probably didn’t use their trump cards; they were just testing each other.”

Looking at the information in his hand, Li Chang’an pondered silently.

Besides these two,

the other holy sons and daughters of the Huangsha Sect and Zixia Sect had also exchanged blows, mostly without a clear winner.

“It’s time for Wei Xu to make his move.”

With a thought, Li Chang’an controlled Wei Xu to approach Liu Haichao and his son.

At this moment,

the father and son were exploring a ruin.

“Xuanfeng, this ruin should belong to an affiliated sect of the ancient Mingyu Sect. The strongest member of the sect is a Nascent Soul True Monarch,”

Liu Haichao judged based on his observations and gains within the ruin.

“There should be a Nascent Soul opportunity here.”

Sure enough, not

long after, he discovered a supplementary herb for forming a Nascent Soul pill.

It wasn’t a great opportunity, but it still delighted him.

However,

before he could even take the herb,

a loud laugh echoed from the horizon.

“Haha, this treasure is destined for me!”

Li Chang’an controlled Wei Xu to appear, snatching the auxiliary herb before Liu Haichao could.

Liu Haichao was instantly enraged, his magical power surging.

“Wei Xu, you’re courting death!”
