Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 325

Chapter 325 The Immortal Choosing a Treasure (Seeking Subscriptions)

A terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire ruins.

Everyone froze.

No one could have imagined that the corpse, which had been dead for an unknown period of time, would suddenly speak!

His skin was withered and yellow, his cheeks were sunken, and his grayish-white pupils suddenly moved. His body slowly exuded vitality, and he regained the aura of a living person!

“He’s not dead!”

Feeling that aura, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines, as if they had fallen into an abyss. The

pressure this person exerted on them far surpassed that of the Nascent Soul True Monarchs in their respective Nascent Soul sects; he was probably a Divine Transformation Heavenly Monarch.

But a Divine Transformation Heavenly Monarch had not appeared in the world for 30,000 years.

What era did he belong to?

“This is the ruins of the Great Jin Dynasty, and he is wearing a dragon robe. Could he be an emperor of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty?” “

But the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty is even older than the Nine Great Immortal Sects. How could he have lived through such a long period of time? Could it be that he has touched upon the mysteries of immortality?”

Li Chang’an pondered to himself.

At this moment, like the other cultivators, he dared not move.

Everyone knew that it was too late to escape.

Facing such a powerful figure, running far was futile!

Of course,

Li Chang’an was in a better state of mind.

The divination did not show an ominous sign, indicating that he would not encounter too much danger.

As he pondered,

the powerful figure in the dragon robe slowly stood up, his aura growing increasingly powerful, reaching a level that no one could comprehend.

His weathered gaze suddenly fell upon everyone.

In an instant,

everyone’s breath caught in their throats.

Under this powerful pressure, the entire world seemed to freeze for a moment.

“Since you’ve arrived in the Immortal Realm, cultivate properly. Why waste time fighting?”

This senior spoke again, uttering words that no one could understand.

The Immortal Realm?

When did they arrive in the Immortal Realm?

This was clearly still an ordinary cultivation world, with no connection whatsoever to the Immortal Realm.

However, these words allowed them to vaguely guess the senior’s identity—the last emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty!

It was that emperor who led the entire Great Jin Immortal Dynasty to ascend to heaven, never to be seen again, leaving behind a legend shrouded in mystery.

“Could it really be him?”

Li Chang’an pondered silently.

If it truly was that emperor, it meant the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty’s ascension had failed.

But why was he still alive?

Just then,

the man spoke again.

He looked around, puzzled, “I only rested for a moment, why have all my beloved ministers disappeared?”

A look of confusion appeared on his gaunt face.

“My beloved ministers, where are you? We’ve arrived in the Immortal Realm!”

he suddenly shouted.

His voice was like thunder, shaking the heavens and earth.

Everyone present felt dizzy, their bodies trembled, and their minds buzzed.

Fortunately, they were all Golden Core cultivators, barely able to withstand this casual shout without any magical power.

If it were a Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment cultivator here, they would probably have exploded on the spot!

“My beloved ministers, where have you gone?”

the senior shouted again.

A moment later.

He suddenly clutched his head, as if remembering something. His confusion lessened slightly, replaced by a look of anguish.

Two streams of murky tears flowed from his ashen eyes.

His expression grew increasingly pained, yet he suddenly burst into laughter, appearing somewhat deranged.

“My beloved ministers, I have done it! I have brought you to the Immortal Realm! Hahaha…”

His hair was disheveled, his voice hoarse, extreme pain and joy simultaneously contorting his gaunt face.

The crowd trembled with fear, afraid to move, lest they attract his attention.

They could all see that

this man had gone mad, incapable of being viewed normally.

“I know! You must be in another palace! My beloved ministers, I have come to find you…”

He laughed and cried, like a delirious monster. Suddenly, with a wave of his hand, he tore open a rift in the air, stepped into it, and vanished from sight.

With him disappeared the indescribable, terrifying oppressive feeling.

Everyone felt a sense of relief wash over them.

Many people broke out in a cold sweat.

Several even collapsed to the ground, their faces pale, filled with lingering fear and relief at surviving a close call.

Zi Xi and Gu Yunqi, along with the other holy sons and daughters, were more composed. They stared at the spot where the mad emperor had vanished, their eyes filled with shock.

“His physical body tore through the void!”

In that instant, they hadn’t sensed any fluctuations in magical power.

That senior had simply torn through the void with his bare hands, appearing incredibly relaxed, as if acting purely on instinct.

“What level is this? Can a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord do that?”

Their understanding of the Nascent Soul realm came from fragmented ancient texts in their sect’s library.

Therefore, they couldn’t be certain.

That realm was ultimately too distant for Golden Core cultivators.

Compared to realm,

Li Chang’an was more curious about this senior’s lifespan.

“Could this Great Jin Emperor have become immortal?”

His life’s cultivation was for immortality, so naturally he wanted to know the reason this senior had lived for so long.

Unfortunately, his strength was too weak to tear through the void and catch up.

He could only suppress his doubts for the time being.

Just then

, a calm voice suddenly rang in his mind.

“I am the spirit of the flying boat. You possess a Great Jin Treasure Token. You may enter the flying boat and choose a treasure.”

“A Great Jin Treasure Token?”

Li Chang’an was taken aback. When had he ever possessed such a thing?

After a moment’s thought, he probed his storage bag with his divine sense and quickly located a token.

This token looked ordinary, with the character “Jin” engraved on its surface. It didn’t react to either magical power or divine sense, seemingly just a mortal object.

However,

even using his third-tier physique strength, Li Chang’an couldn’t crush it.

“Back then, I received a divination prompt to find a giant smoky stone in the black market to exchange for Zi Xi’s third-tier spiritual vein,”

Li Chang’an recalled.

He had bought four stones in the black market, and this token was obtained from the last stone.

So many years had passed.

He still hadn’t found a way to use the token and had kept it lying in a corner of his storage bag.

“Could this be the Great Jin Treasure Token that the flying boat spirit spoke of?”

Li Chang’an pondered for a moment and felt that this should be it.

But he didn’t act immediately.

Whether the flying boat spirit was real or not was still unknown.

Perhaps the other party is just a wicked old monster trying to lure him into the flying boat.

Furthermore,

Zi Xi and Gu Yunqi, along with disciples from various Nascent Soul sects, are still here.

If Li Chang’an enters in front of them, he will definitely be watched.

“Let’s see what the divination says after these people leave,”

he said calmly, not in a hurry.

Soon,

after some discussion,

everyone decided to retreat.

Although that mad senior had left, he might return at any time.

They didn’t want to experience that feeling of being unable to control their own lives again.

“That person is already out of his mind; if he harbors murderous intent, I’m afraid none of us will survive.”

“There might be opportunities inside the flying boat, but it’s protected by an array, so it’s out of our reach. Let’s go check the outer perimeter.”

“That’s right…”

Faced with the choice between opportunity and life, everyone chose the latter.

Zi Xi and Mu Hongyu led their respective sects away.

On the other side,

the disciples of the Yellow Sand Sect and the White Tiger Sect also retreated.

That night…

Zi Xi said to everyone, “I have informed my master about what happened here, and she ordered us not to touch that flying boat again.”

Mu Hongyu nodded, “My master said the same thing.”

Next,

the opportunity of that flying boat should be left to the Nascent Soul stage experts.

Everyone planned to search for treasures on the outer perimeter of the ruins.

This ruin was vast, and they were the first to explore it. Even just the outermost edge of the ruins contained many valuable treasures.

With their strength, as long as they were careful, they were unlikely to encounter any accidents.

Li Chang’an remained silent.

He sat quietly among the crowd, waiting for the divination to appear.

At midnight that night,

a golden light appeared before his eyes.

[Divination updated]

[Today’s Divination – Auspicious]

[You relied on the Great Jin Treasure Token to gain the flying boat’s spirit’s approval, entered the flying boat, and took away a portion of the Earth Element Myriad Demon Bloodstone. No accidents occurred.]

“Auspicious divination, it seems safe!”

Li Chang’an felt slightly relieved.

He left his puppet body there, used escape and concealment techniques, and quietly returned to the flying boat.

After confirming that no one else was nearby,

Li Chang’an took out the token engraved with the character “Jin” and transmitted his voice to the flying boat,

“Senior Spirit, is this the Great Jin Treasure Token?”

A moment later,

the calm voice sounded in his mind again,

“Indeed, come in.”

“Yes.”

Li Chang’an, holding the treasure token, flickered and entered the flying boat.

Inside the flying boat

was a hidden world. Before him lay a vast small world.

However, this small world lacked vitality, filled with an aura of decay and corruption, gloomy and oppressive everywhere.

The sky was dark, the earth cracked, and withered bones littered the ground.

At the center of the small world

stood a towering treasure vault.

Following the guidance of the artifact spirit, Li Chang’an arrived at the vault’s entrance and presented the Great Jin Treasure Token.

A phantom figure appeared before him, took the Great Jin Treasure Token, and waved it towards the vault’s entrance.

A soft “hum” was heard.

The vault’s entrance slowly opened.

In that instant,

Li Chang’an sensed the aura of countless treasures.

Looking inside, he immediately saw a vast quantity of pills, spiritual plants, crystals, demon blood, cultivation manuals, and more.

The treasures, radiating rich light and spiritual essence, were dreamlike and ethereal, dazzling him.

However,

he soon realized…

Although the treasure vault contained many treasures, most areas were already empty, with only a small portion still holding valuable items.

Li Chang’an inquired, “Senior, are there any opportunities to form a Nascent Soul within this vault?”

“There were, quite a few, but they’ve all been taken by those who came before. You’ve arrived tens of thousands of years too late,”

the illusory figure of the artifact spirit stood beside him, blurry and hazy, like a figure formed from condensed mist, answering his question.

Li Chang’an asked again, “Are there any opportunities to transform into a Divine Transformation cultivator?”

“No,”

the artifact spirit replied.

Almost all the treasures beneficial to a cultivator’s advancement in this vault had already been taken.

Li Chang’an was born too late; if he had arrived tens or hundreds of thousands of years earlier, he would have had more choices.

The artifact spirit continued, “When you were searching for someone before, you used a lot of souls. This Soul Banner should be suitable for you.”

He raised his hand, and a chilling Soul Banner appeared before Li Chang’an.

This Soul Banner was of the fourth rank, high grade!

Enough for him to use until the Nascent Soul realm.

Of course.

If he chose the Soul Banner, he wouldn’t be able to choose any other treasures.

The Soul Banner in Li Chang’an’s hand, though only a high-grade third-tier item, still had room for improvement.

“Thank you for your kindness, senior. I’d like to see something else.”

“Alright, look for yourself.”

The spirit casually waved its hand, putting the Soul Banner back.

“You only have one chance. Choose carefully. If there’s nothing suitable, choose the one with the highest value.”

“I understand.”

Li Chang’an nodded.

He spread his divine sense and quickly saw his purpose.

The Earth Element Myriad Demon Bloodstone was casually placed on a shelf deep within the treasure vault.

Li Chang’an didn’t directly exchange for the Myriad Demon Bloodstone, but instead slowly walked through the vault, his eyes scanning the precious treasures.

Many of these treasures were fourth-tier.

If no one was guarding them,

he would naturally want to take them all.

Unfortunately, the spirit was watching, and he only had one token.

“I need to go to the black markets and spirit mines more often in the future, and open more stones. Maybe I can get more tokens,”

Li Chang’an thought to himself.

Although he didn’t understand the art of treasure hunting, he possessed a rare gem called the Stone Eye, which was perfect for gambling on stones.

Throughout the cultivation world of the Three Kingdoms, many cultivators were enthusiastic about gambling on stones, hoping to win big with a small investment and soar to great heights, but most ended up running out of spirit stones.

Li Chang’an temporarily suppressed this thought and continued examining the numerous treasures.

After a while, he stopped before a Heavenly Grade spell.

He noticed that

this Heavenly Grade spell, along with many other Heavenly Grade spells and techniques beside it, were all marked with the words “Pseudo-Heavenly Grade.”

Li Chang’an asked, “Senior, what does ‘Pseudo-Heavenly Grade’ mean?”

The spirit explained, “The Great Jin Immortal Dynasty divides Heavenly Grade techniques and spells into three ranks: ‘Pseudo-Heavenly Grade,’ ‘True Heavenly Grade,’ and ‘Perfect Heavenly Grade.'”

According to him, the vast majority of Heavenly Grade techniques and spells in the world could only be considered Pseudo-Heavenly Grade.

True Heavenly Grade techniques and spells were extremely rare.

The final, Perfect Heavenly Grade, was even rarer, almost impossible to find.

“Perfect?”

Li Chang’an’s heart stirred slightly as he thought of the Ancient Evergreen Technique he cultivated.

This technique, at the peak of Foundation Establishment, could accumulate 365 drops of liquid mana, a state universally acknowledged as perfect.

With this in mind,

Li Chang’an immediately used his mana to condense a Azure Primordial Vine in front of him.

“Senior, what grade is this spell of mine?”

“Barely reaches the threshold of pseudo-Heavenly Grade. The reason its power is good is because the quality of your Golden Core mana is extremely high,”

the artifact spirit calmly assessed.

Afterward,

Li Chang’an cast several spells, asking the artifact spirit to judge.

The artifact spirit patiently assessed the grade of each spell.

All the Heavenly Grade techniques and spells Li Chang’an obtained from various sects and aristocratic families were, without exception, pseudo-Heavenly Grade!

Furthermore,

the Heavenly Wood Immortal Wheel and Wooden Dragon Soaring he himself obtained were also pseudo-Heavenly Grade spells.

Of course, there were also differences in quality among pseudo-Heavenly Grade spells.

“This Wooden Dragon Soaring is not bad; among pseudo-Heavenly Grade spells, it’s considered relatively good,”

the artifact spirit commented lightly.

Upon seeing the Azure Wood Divine Light, his evaluation rose considerably.

“This spell should be a True Heaven-grade spell, but it seems somewhat incomplete. Did you perhaps not obtain the complete version? In my opinion, its full power is likely far greater than this.”

“Incomplete?”

Li Chang’an pondered.

He had only obtained the first three volumes of the Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique, missing the subsequent content.

For years, he had believed that only the cultivation technique was incomplete. Only

after the artifact spirit’s reminder

did he realize that the Azure Wood Divine Light and Ancient Wood Divine Armor spells were likely also missing parts.

“These two spells, even in their incomplete state, far surpass other pseudo-heavenly-grade spells, reaching the level of true heavenly-grade. If they were complete, would they be perfect?”

Li Chang’an pondered to himself.

Since the cultivation technique was considered perfect, the accompanying spells should also be perfect; that would make sense.

After some conversation,

Li Chang’an stopped mentioning spell grades and instead inquired about the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty’s ascension.

“Senior, has the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty truly ascended to the Immortal Realm?”

“I don’t know either. I’m just a flying boat spirit. I was placed here long before the Great Jin planned its ascension.”

The artifact spirit shook its head, a hint of doubt in its voice.

Li Chang’an asked again, “Was that person sitting outside earlier the last emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty?”

“I don’t know. I’ve never seen the last emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, but his bloodline aura definitely belonged to the Great Jin royal family, and the style of his dragon robe conformed to the Great Jin royal family’s standards.”

According to the artifact spirit

, that eccentric senior was most likely the last emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The artifact spirit also didn’t know why he had survived until now.

However,

regarding immortality,

the artifact spirit pointed Li Chang’an in a direction:

to become an artifact spirit himself!

“Become an artifact spirit?”

“That’s right!”

the artifact spirit indicated.

This was an alternative path to immortality, and it should be achievable.

He had heard some cultivators from the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty discuss this matter.

After becoming an artifact spirit, as long as the treasure it inhabited wasn’t destroyed, it could exist indefinitely.

Of course,

this path had many limitations.

Once one became an artifact spirit, there was no longer any freedom.

As the artifact spirit of the flying boat, he had to rely on the flying boat for existence; although he could sense many things around him, he couldn’t leave the flying boat.

“Perhaps this is the price of an alternative path to immortality. You are still young; I suggest you take the honorable path to immortality.”

“Senior, what is the honorable path?” “

Simply put, it’s breaking through to a higher level before your lifespan reaches its limit. As long as you break through quickly enough, death will never catch up with you…”

In the spirit’s view, this was the true path to immortality.

All other methods of immortality were minor paths.

Li Chang’an gained much from his conversation with the spirit.

Several hours passed unnoticed.

Finally,

Li Chang’an arrived at the depths of the treasure vault and stood before the Earth-elemental Myriad Demon Bloodstone.

He picked it up and sensed it briefly.

“The quality of this stone is higher than the one I obtained years ago. It should allow Da Huang to advance to the Earth-grade bloodline.”

The treasure vault contained many treasures, some even more valuable than this Myriad Demon Bloodstone.

But this Myriad Demon Bloodstone was the most suitable for him.

Li Chang’an no longer hesitated and said to the spirit, “Senior, I wish to exchange for this Myriad Demon Bloodstone.”

“Alright!”

The spirit waved his hand casually.

Li Chang’an vaguely sensed that the Myriad Demon Bloodstone in his hand seemed to have lost some kind of restraint.

Then,

everything went dark before his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, he was transported outside the flying boat.

The spirit’s last words echoed in his mind:

“You have good luck; perhaps you can obtain more treasure tokens.”
