Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 321

Chapter 321 A Shocking Backlash, Commanding Ten Thousand Insects (Seeking Subscriptions)

The Cursing Killing Technique is also one of the hundred arts of cultivation.

This technique is strange and mysterious.

Mastering it allows one to kill from afar, taking lives from thousands of miles away.

However, this technique is not without its price.

Just like divination, the slightest carelessness can lead to a backlash.

At best, it shortens one’s lifespan; at worst, it causes immediate death.

Furthermore,

this technique is extremely insidious.

Using it too often will diminish one’s luck and fortune, causing misfortune to befall them.

“A high-grade third-tier Cursing Killing Technique, if it’s just cursing an ordinary early-stage Golden Core cultivator, shouldn’t cause too much loss of luck. Therefore, that curse master is full of confidence.”

Li Chang’an rubbed his temples, pondering to himself.

That cold, long nail, seemingly only driven into the scarecrow, made him, far away in the heart of the Southern Region, feel extremely uncomfortable. A

faint, persistent stinging pain emanated from his temples.

Furthermore…

He was restless, as if disaster was about to befall him, and his body felt inexplicably weak.

If all seven nails were driven in, he would be severely injured, if not killed.

Breaking this spell wasn’t difficult.

He only needed to expose Qin Hong’s puppet and kill the sorcerer before the other holy sons and daughters could react.

However, this would surely make Gu Yunqi wary.

This approach was a last resort.

Li Chang’an swallowed a few calming pills to maintain his composure, and then used his fourth-order divination technique.

In an instant,

he gained an air of mystery, his eyes suddenly becoming deep and profound, his gaze like a vast starry sea.

In his eyes, a thin, almost imperceptible line appeared.

This line possessed a mysterious energy, extending from a distant ancient ruin, connecting his brow to the scarecrow.

“Indeed, most of the arts of cultivation have commonalities.”

Li Chang’an also knew how to kill from a distance.

Mu Yan was nearly killed by him from afar.

Because of this,

Li Chang’an thought of using divination to break the curse.

“Slash!”

With a thought, he condensed a long blade with divination power and slashed heavily at the thin line.

The thin line snapped instantly and vanished into the world.

The stinging pain between Li Chang’an’s brows disappeared!

The unease in his mind also vanished.

He felt reborn, his whole body much lighter.

…

Meanwhile.

In the ancient ruins, on the flying boat of the Yellow Sand Sect.

“Rest assured, everyone, Li Chang’an is doomed!”

The sorcerer was full of confidence, his hands forming hand seals, about to strike the second long nail.

But as soon as he finished speaking,

the aura of Li Chang’an on the scarecrow suddenly dissipated, and its appearance returned to normal, becoming an ordinary scarecrow.

The sorcerer’s face changed drastically, as if struck by a heavy blow, he immediately knelt on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The remaining six floating long nails fell down simultaneously.

The nail driven into the scarecrow’s head suddenly trembled, flashing with an eerie light. It flew out of the scarecrow’s head, transforming into a cold beam that shot straight towards the sorcerer’s head!

“Suppress!”

White Tiger Saint Prince Cui Baihong immediately intervened, blocking the nail.

With a clang ,

the nail fell to the ground, losing its luster.

Cui Baihong frowned, looking at the sorcerer, and asked, “What happened? Why did you fail?”

But the sorcerer couldn’t answer.

His face was filled with terror as he knelt on the ground, blood flowing from his eyes, ears, and nose. He opened his mouth and spat out another mouthful of blood.

He couldn’t see, hear, or speak; even his divine sense couldn’t be dispersed, making communication almost impossible.

Seeing his miserable state,

everyone understood that he had suffered a severe backlash.

If he didn’t receive the best spiritual medicine to treat him, he would likely become a cripple.

“Fine.”

Cui Baihong was extremely disappointed. With a wave of his hand, he put the creature into his spirit beast pouch.

His expression was not good.

After all,

he had previously boasted that killing Li Chang’an would not be difficult.

But the performance of his subordinates had truly made him lose face.

Gu Yunqi remained calm and said, “That Li Chang’an is not easy to deal with. He has great fortune and probably has many opportunities. It’s normal that he failed. After all, he is the first person in the entire Southern Region of Zhao Kingdom in a thousand years to form a Core.”

He said this

to give Cui Baihong a way out.

Sure enough, Cui Baihong’s ugly expression disappeared, replaced by a look of astonishment.

“A low-grade spiritual root forming a Core?”

“That’s right.”

Gu Yunqi and the others all nodded.

They were also surprised when they first heard the news.

“That Li Chang’an can not only form a Core with the talent of a low-grade spiritual root, but also cause the failure of a third-tier high-grade curse killing technique. He probably has fourth-tier opportunities…”

Cui Baihong’s heart was not calm. He looked towards the direction of Changqing Mountain in the Southern Region, and some other thoughts were beginning to emerge.

…

A few days later.

Deep within the cave, a thick stench of blood permeated the air.

Li Chang’an slowly rose from the crimson medicinal liquid, his muscles bulging and knotted. His

cracked, old skin peeled away, turning to dust, revealing even tougher skin beneath.

“Body Refinement Level Four!”

Today, he officially entered the mid-stage of the third tier of Body Refinement.

Such a physique was enough to withstand the attacks of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

“Body Refinement has once again surpassed magical power.”

Li Chang’an slowly clenched his fist, feeling every inch of his body filled with a violent power, a faint sense of invincibility rising within him.

Just then, midnight arrived.

A golden light appeared.

[The divination has been updated]

[Today’s divination: Ominous]

[You suddenly sensed the killing intent of a Nascent Soul cultivator. The White Tiger True Monarch of the White Tiger Sect descended upon Changqing Mountain, intending to capture you alive, but you escaped using the Realm-Splitting Talisman

.] Upon seeing this divination,

the sense of invincibility that had just risen in Li Chang’an’s heart vanished instantly.

“The White Tiger True Monarch?”

He had no grudge against this True Monarch, and had never even met him.

Why would he suddenly attack him?

Li Chang’an immediately thought of Cui Baihong, the White Tiger Saint Son, who was the White Tiger True Monarch’s disciple.

“Could it be that because of the matter of the sorcerer, he believes I possess a great opportunity and has asked his master to intervene?”

After a moment’s thought, he basically guessed Cui Baihong’s intentions.

The Yellow Sand True Monarch, bound by his agreement with Jiang Xuanyuan, could not personally deal with Li Chang’an.

But the White Tiger True Monarch had no such constraint!

“This matter is somewhat troublesome.”

Li Chang’an didn’t hesitate. He immediately put away Song Yu’er, who was cultivating in a cave, and called Jiang Muyu to leave Changqing Mountain with him.

Although the formation of Changqing Mountain was good, it couldn’t possibly stop a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

The opponent didn’t need any formation-breaking techniques or treasures.

He could break the formation and forcibly break through Changqing Mountain purely with the power of a Nascent Soul!

Jiang Muyu asked, “Young Master, what happened? Is True Monarch Huangsha about to make a move again?”

“This time it’s not True Monarch Huangsha, it’s True Monarch Baihu.”

Li Chang’an briefly explained the matter.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Muyu’s pretty face was full of worry, and she immediately planned to contact her father, Jiang Xuanyuan.

But Li Chang’an stopped her.

Jiang Xuanyuan was still confronting the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Wang family and couldn’t be distracted.

Li Chang’an had just calculated with his fingers and realized that the solution to this crisis lay with the Zixia Sect in the Central Region.

“It seems I must ask True Monarch Zixia for help. It just so happens that the Zixia Sect and the White Tiger Sect are enemies.”

He immediately took out a purple communication jade pendant.

This was given to him by Zixi, to facilitate communication between the two.

“Holy Maiden, a friend of mine told me that Cui Baihong, the Holy Son of the White Tiger Sect, asked his master, True Monarch White Tiger, to attack me. My strength is still shallow; I am no match for the True Monarch. Could I trouble True Monarch Zixia to resolve this matter?”

He gripped the jade pendant tightly and transmitted his voice into it.

Not long after,

the jade pendant warmed slightly, and Zixi’s slightly surprised voice sounded.

“Fellow Daoist Li, when did you have a conflict with the White Tiger lineage?”

“I also have some doubts about this matter. Please trust me, Holy Maiden.”

“Alright!”

Zixi told Li Chang’an to leave Changqing Mountain first. She would inform him of the outcome after this matter was resolved.

Li Chang’an had already left Changqing Mountain.

He even put Jiang Muyu into his spirit beast pouch and entered a state of borrowed magic alone, pushing his escape techniques to their limit.

Not long after,

he entered the depths of the Black Dragon Mountain Range.

Using the demonic energy of the Black Dragon Mountain Range, he concealed his own aura.

Unless the entire Black Dragon Mountain Range is turned upside down, there’s no way to find him! On

Evergreen Mountain,

there lies a blood-dripping avatar he left behind.

About ten hours later, a powerful aura, carrying an indescribable sense of oppression, appeared on Evergreen Mountain.

It was none other than True Monarch White Tiger!

He was about to make a move

when a purple figure appeared before him.

“Fellow Daoist White Tiger, you’ve crossed the line.”

The newcomer wore a purple dress, her face veiled, her temperament somewhat similar to Zi Xi, but her strength far surpassed Zi Xi’s, and her body was also permeated with Nascent Soul power.

True Monarch Zi Xia!

Seeing her arrive, True Monarch White Tiger knew that his plan was doomed.

He smiled and said, “I heard that there’s a junior here named Li Chang’an who possesses a fortuitous opportunity, so I came to take a look. I didn’t expect to provoke Fellow Daoist Zi Xia. It seems that his opportunity was given to him by you.”

The White Tiger True Monarch’s actions were highly secretive, known only to him and his disciple Cui Baihong.

It was impossible for anyone to have tipped off the Purple Cloud True

Monarch. Yet, the Purple Cloud True Monarch had arrived here.

Therefore,

he deduced that

the Purple Cloud True Monarch was already here and had a close relationship with Li Chang’an of Changqing Mountain.

A Nascent Soul True Monarch, if willing to go to great lengths, could easily cultivate a low-grade spiritual root into a Core Formation cultivator. The

Purple Cloud True Monarch didn’t explain anything, only saying calmly, “Fellow Daoist White Tiger, aren’t you leaving? Do you perhaps want to fight me?”

“Fellow Daoist Purple Cloud misunderstands, I’ll leave now!”

With that, the White Tiger True Monarch didn’t linger, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

This area was under the jurisdiction of the Purple Cloud Sect, and he feared the Purple Cloud True Monarch might have made arrangements here, unwilling to easily start a war.

Thus,

a crisis averted.

The Purple Cloud True Monarch glanced at Changqing Mountain below, but didn’t descend into the mountain, disappearing from the spot in the blink of an eye.

She had no interest in Li Chang’an’s opportunities; her actions this time were only because of a previous promise.

And now…

The karmic ties between them were now severed.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, their paths would never cross again in this life.

Not long after, Zi Xi arrived.

“Fellow Daoist Li, this matter is settled. The White Tiger True Monarch should not be coming again.”

“Thank you, Holy Maiden. Please convey my gratitude to Senior Zi Xia.”

Li Chang’an’s blood-dripping avatar appeared, offering Zi Xi spiritual tea.

After a brief conversation,

Zi Xi took some pills and prepared to leave.

Before departing, she warned Li Chang’an: “Fellow Daoist Li, Xue Qiansi is a notorious demonic cultivator in the Yuan Kingdom, hated by everyone. She is wicked and likely has designs on you. You must not be deceived by her appearance.”

Hearing this, Li Chang’an was speechless.

Did Zi Xi also believe he was lusting after Xue Qiansi’s beauty?

Xue Qiansi’s appearance was indeed remarkable—bright eyes, white teeth, snow-white skin, and a slender figure—a rare and stunning beauty.

But in Li Chang’an’s eyes, she was nothing more than a beautiful skeleton.

After Zi Xi left,

Xue Qian Si emerged from her cave.

“Fellow Daoist Li, my injuries have healed, and my energy and spirit have returned to normal. If I stay on Changqing Mountain any longer, I will only cause you trouble,”

she said apologetically, bidding farewell.

Li Chang’an did not try to stop her.

A moment later,

Xue Qian Si transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the horizon.

For the next few months,

Li Chang’an’s main body did not return to Changqing Mountain but instead cultivated in the Zhou family’s territory.

During this time,

the divination remained stable.

The White Tiger True Monarch also did not reappear.

Only then did Li Chang’an confirm his safety and return to Changqing Mountain.

“From now on, things should be peaceful for a while.”

With the Purple Cloud True Monarch as a deterrent, the White Tiger Holy Son should not dare to easily attack him again .

As for Gu Yunqi,

he had recently been in the ancient ruins and secret realm, vying with Zi Xi for a piece of ancient sect ruins, and had no time for anything else.

Li Chang’an cast a divination for himself, and

the result was relatively stable. Sure enough

, for the next few years, the entire Changqing Mountain remained peaceful.

Even though the outside world was in turmoil, with even Nascent Soul experts clashing several times, Changqing Mountain, located in the heart of the Southern Region, remained unaffected.

During this time,

Li Chang’an frequently searched for the final treasure needed to refine the Earth Cloud Yellow Sand Pill, but without any news.

Furthermore, he kept a close eye on Gu Yunqi’s movements through the puppet Qin Hong.

“This ancient ruin that Gu Yunqi and Zi Xi are fighting over seems a bit strange. There are far too many traps and mechanisms within the ruins… Could there be a great opportunity hidden deep within those ruins?”

He had a slight thought and ordered several other Golden Core puppets to linger nearby.

If there truly was a great opportunity, he would send the puppets to try and snag a bargain.

Just then,

Song Yu’er ran over excitedly, carrying a spiritual dish.

“Senior, my spiritual cooking skill has broken through to the middle rank of the first level! Would you like to try this spiritual dish?”

“Alright.”

Li Chang’an smiled and tasted it briefly.

“Not bad, the spiritual energy of the ingredients hasn’t been lost, and the color, aroma, and taste are all there.”

“Senior, when you’re old, I’ll make you different spiritual dishes every day.”

“We’ll talk about that when I’m old…”

Li Chang’an smiled.

Over the years, he and Song Yu’er had gotten along very well.

The silver-white symbol in Song Yu’er’s sea of consciousness was increasingly less averse to him.

Not long ago,

he touched that symbol again and gained some insights into the power of the void.

Although he still couldn’t replicate the Rift Symbol,

little by little, he would eventually be able to completely understand all the spiritual patterns on the Rift Symbol.

“By the way, Senior, this is a storage bag sent by the black market people. I didn’t peek inside.”

Song Yu’er took out a storage bag.

Inside were some of the profits from the black market outside Changqing Immortal City.

“Okay, I understand.”

Li Chang’an opened it, looked at it, randomly selected a few items, and tossed them to Song Yu’er as a reward.

That evening…

He changed his appearance and aura, entering the black market, intending to obtain information about the cultivation world of the Three Kingdoms from Luo Qiantong.

Luo Qiantong, as usual, was chatting with many cultivators at his office.

Li Chang’an was about to approach

when suddenly

, he sensed an unusual aura emanating from Luo Qiantong.

“This kid seems to have been ambushed.”

Li Chang’an frowned slightly, quietly taking out his Stone Eye to examine Luo Qiantong.   He quickly discovered

…

Within Luo Qiantong’s body lay a well-hidden Gu worm.

This Gu worm exuded a sinister, demonic aura.

“A third-tier Gu worm,”

Li Chang’an discerned its rank.

It seemed

Luo Qiantong had been targeted by a demonic master skilled in Gu cultivation.

Those capable of raising third-tier Gu worms were mostly Golden Core cultivators.

Luo Qiantong, however, was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and was completely unaware that he had been parasitized by a Gu worm.

The Gu master in the shadows could use this Gu worm to detect everything Luo Qiantong came into contact with.

“It’s probably someone from the Yin Soul Sect,”

Li Chang’an concluded.

Luo Qiantong had been gathering information for him for years; it was normal for him to be targeted by the Yin Soul Sect.

Based on the Gu worm’s aura, Li Chang’an quickly calculated using his fourth-tier divination power, pinpointing the Gu master’s location.

He was inside the black market!

The person was hiding in a secret room, secretly observing Luo Qiantong’s every move.

Due to the rule against action in the black market, Li Chang’an did not act directly.

He didn’t contact Luo Qiantong, but left a blood-dripping avatar to guard the black market.

This guarding lasted for three whole months!

Three months later,

the Gu Master finally left the black market, transforming into a streak of light and flying towards the location of the Yin Soul Sect’s mountain gate.

But he hadn’t gone far when Li Chang’an attacked and killed him.

“Soul, come!”

Li Chang’an collected his soul, cleaned up the scene, and returned to Changqing Mountain.

He entered the depths of the cave and interrogated him.

The man was intimidated by Li Chang’an’s strength and dared not conceal anything, answering honestly.

His name was Hu Ming, a third-tier high-grade Gu Master, from the Yan Kingdom’s Minghun Sect.

The reason he came to Zhao Kingdom

was because he accepted the invitation of the Holy Son of Wugu to help him deal with Li Chang’an.

“The Minghun Sect has quite a few talents. First, there was a near-fourth-tier divination master, and now a third-tier high-grade Gu Master has come here, but they’re all bringing me treasures.”

Li Chang’an searched through the treasures in his storage bag and quickly found a jade slip.

“A third-tier superior-grade Gu technique inheritance.”

He took out the jade slip, probed it with his divine sense, and carefully perused its contents.

Soon,

he reached the chapter on cultivating the Myriad Poison Gu.

After reading it, Li Chang’an felt a pang of regret.

“Indeed, without any inheritance, I cultivated it by intuition, which caused problems with the Myriad Poison Gu.”

According to the inheritance’s description,

a third-tier Myriad Poison Gu King was considered the king of all poisons, capable of commanding countless insects and becoming a regional overlord.

However, the Myriad Poison Gu cultivated by Li Chang’an showed no signs of being an overlord whatsoever; it did nothing but eat and sleep all day, and showed no ability to command countless insects.

“Fortunately, it’s not too late to change things. I need to push this guy harder in the future; I can’t let him continue to be so lazy!”

Li Chang’an valued the Myriad Poison Gu highly and wouldn’t let it go astray.

He put away the inheritance jade slip and continued searching for other treasures.

This storage bag

mostly contained treasures for cultivating Gu insects.

Li Chang’an had initially thought there were none he would need.

But soon, he found several shimmering, translucent grains of sand in the corner of his storage bag.

“This is… Yellow Sand Star Crystal!”
