Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 336

Chapter 336 The Origin of the Stone Eye, Unveiling the Mystery, Slaying an Old Enemy (Seeking Subscriptions)

If the Liu family had invited a Foundation Establishment cultivator, this matter would be difficult to handle.

Hu Ke only wanted to peacefully enjoy the power and status brought by his Foundation Establishment strength and was unwilling to fight to the death with another Foundation Establishment cultivator.

“Since there is no Foundation Establishment cultivator, there is no need to panic. No matter how many Qi Refining cultivators there are, it is useless. I, the ancestor, can suppress them with one hand!”

He slowly stood up, looking in the direction of the Liu family’s territory, his whole body filled with killing intent .

Hu Chang shouted in panic, “Ancestor, it’s a Golden Core cultivator! The Liu family has invited a Golden Core cultivator!”

“What?”

Hu Ke trembled all over and slumped back down, his killing intent instantly dissipating.

He couldn’t believe it, he thought he had misheard.

“You… what did you say? Golden Core?”

“Yes!”

“How is that possible? The Liu family is just a Qi Refining family, how could they have the ability to invite a Golden Core cultivator?”

Hu Ke waved his hand and took out a scroll of portrait paintings.

On this portrait painting

were depictions of all the Golden Core cultivators in the entire Southern Region.

“Quickly, take a look, which Golden Core cultivator the Liu family has invited.”

“It’s…it’s this one…”

Hu Chang spotted Li Chang’an almost instantly and pointed him out with a trembling finger.

“It’s Ancestor Changqing!”

Hu Ke felt a chill run down his spine. He hadn’t expected the Liu family to actually be able to invite a Golden Core cultivator.

What comforted him was that

it was said this Ancestor Changqing was not bloodthirsty, had a kind heart, rarely fought with others, and was a very friendly senior.

“If I sincerely apologize, Ancestor Changqing should be able to let me go,”

Hu Ke thought to himself.

But the next moment,

Hu Chang pointed out another person: “And…and this one…”

“What? And this Ancestor Ye Hao?”

Hu Ke’s scalp tingled instantly.

This ancestor was a Tribulation Cultivator, a ruthless killer, infamous, his hands stained with blood.

Before he could even think of a way to deal with it,

Hu Chang pointed out several more people in succession.

“This one…and this one, and…”

“Ancestor Zheng, Ancestor Mo…”

Hu Ke’s face turned ashen, the light in his eyes grew dimmer, and he almost slumped onto the family throne, completely still.

After a long while,

he struggled to his feet and looked in another direction.

“My Hu family is in danger of extinction. I cannot handle this alone; I must ask that person for help…”

With that, he transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the Hu family cemetery.

…

Meanwhile.

At the Liu family cemetery.

Li Chang’an, Ye Hao, and others came to pay their respects.

“Third brother, it’s been many years.”

Li Chang’an said with emotion, burning some paper money for him.

This third brother’s experience was almost identical to that of his second brother, Xu Yang.

Rejected by the Immortal Sect, he became a rogue cultivator, established a family with another female rogue cultivator, and then dedicated his life to the family.

The lifespan limit for Qi Refining cultivators is one hundred and twenty years.

But he only lived to be over sixty.

His life was filled with hardship and countless setbacks.

He was a microcosm of countless low-level rogue cultivators.

After the ceremony,

Li Chang’an summoned the current head of the Liu family and tested his temperament with an illusion. Finding him to be of good character, he gave him better cultivation techniques and spells.

Ye Hao was more direct, casually conjuring a pile of Foundation Establishment treasures.

With these treasures, this person’s Foundation Establishment would be easy.

Afterwards,

everyone shared their cultivation insights with the Liu family members.

Before they knew it, it was midnight.

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

[The divination has been updated]

[Today’s divination: Auspicious]

[You fused two stone eyes, obtaining a higher-grade stone eye, and learned its origin.]

“Hmm, the origin of the stone eye?”

Li Chang’an’s heart stirred slightly, and he immediately took out two stone eyes.

Years ago, when he first saw the stone eye, he felt something was strange.

This stone eye…

didn’t seem to be a treasure crafted by a weapon refiner.

Rather, it seemed to have been directly plucked from someone’s eye socket.

Now, as a near-fourth-tier weapon refiner himself, he was increasingly certain of this idea.

“Let’s see how this treasure came to be.”

He left behind a blood-dripping avatar, while his true body quietly left the Liu family’s territory, escaping deep underground to create an underground space using earth elemental power.

After setting up the array,

Li Chang’an solemnly placed the two stone eyes together.

The next instant

, the fine, dense blood vessels on the two stone eyes seemed to come alive, wriggling one after another.

They seemed to attract each other, touching and gradually merging.

Under Li Chang’an’s gaze

, the two stone eyes slowly merged into one.

During this process,

its aura gradually increased, rising from mid-grade third rank to high-grade third rank, and then to near-fourth rank.

About a quarter of an hour later,

the two stone eyes completely merged into one, and its aura suddenly surged, reaching mid-grade fourth rank!

Its gray-white pupils moved slightly, transmitting a trace of intent.

Li Chang’an immediately contacted this intent.

The next instant

, some unfamiliar memories appeared in his mind.

These memories finally made him understand the origin of the stone eye.

“So that’s how it is.”

After absorbing all the memories, Li Chang’an suddenly realized.

All the doubts of the past were revealed at this moment.

This stone eye

was indeed dug out from the eye socket of a cultivator!

What Li Chang’an obtained now was the memory of this man from his previous life.

This man was a genius.

Born with a precious eye!

His eyes were different from others; from a young age, he could see precious light.

Relying on these eyes, he acquired countless treasures, grew at an extremely fast pace, and soon became a peerless genius.

He frequented treasure appraisal buildings and gambling stone shops all over the country, and almost every time he amassed a fortune, becoming a master admired and envied by countless people.

His cultivation path was smooth sailing.

In less than three hundred years, he broke through to the Nascent Soul realm, becoming a powerful Nascent Soul True Monarch.

In an era without the Divine Transformation realm, he already stood at the top of the world, looking down on all living beings.

On this day,

a Nascent Soul friend of his invited him to ambush and kill a demon.

That demon was quite famous, having risen to fame around the same time as him, and was also an unparalleled genius, not easy to deal with.

However, his success over the years had made him overlook the danger.

He was confident in his unparalleled magical eyes, believing they could see through the demon’s weaknesses and kill him, thus gaining more praise and fame.

So he went.

However

, that battle became his last.

The demon was ferocious and powerful beyond his comprehension, able to withstand the attacks of dozens of Nascent Soul True Monarchs single-handedly.

In the chaos of battle, he was bound by the demon’s treasures and could not break free. Then, his

prized

magical eyes were forcibly dug out by the demon.

He himself was shattered by the demon’s palm, his Nascent Soul unable to escape, dying on the spot, ending his glorious life.

These magical eyes ,

after being simply refined by the demon, became a treasure that could see through illusions.

Li Chang’an was not unfamiliar with the demon’s name:

Mo Qingkuang!

“No wonder the stone eyes could see through the existence of the blood seed; it turns out these stone eyes were originally refined by Mo Qingkuang.”

Li Chang’an had once been very puzzled.

According to ancient records, even many Nascent Soul True Monarchs couldn’t see through the existence of the Blood Seed, so why could the Stone Eye see through it?

Now,

this mystery has finally been solved.

The Stone Eye and the Blood Seed both originated from the same person, so they can be considered to share the same source.

“I obtained Mo Qingkuang’s demonic arts and his treasure. Is this a coincidence?”

Li Chang’an pondered to himself, feeling that it was too much of a coincidence.

Some predecessors had speculated that Mo Qingkuang might not be dead yet, and might have even created an evil technique that devours lifespan, living from ten thousand years ago to today.

If such a genius had lived for ten thousand years, how powerful would he be?

“Forget it, no need to think too much. I have the divination symbols with me, so even if danger comes, I can avoid it in advance.”

Li Chang’an suppressed all his distracting thoughts.

He picked up the Stone Eye, refined it, and probed the surroundings.

After its advancement, the Stone Eye’s abilities in all aspects were enhanced, making it a top-tier artifact for discerning illusions in the world.

“Although I don’t possess the innate Treasure Eye, with this, I’m not much different from that prodigy from ten thousand years ago. I can go out more often to search for treasures.”

Li Chang’an put away the Stone Eye and flashed back to the Liu family’s territory to explain his cultivation insights to the Liu family disciples.

…

The next day.

To everyone’s surprise,

no one from the Hu family came to apologize.

A mere Foundation Establishment family, facing so many Golden Core cultivators, was so assertive. Could they have some unknown strength?

Ye Hao’s expression was cold, intending to personally go to the Hu family to demand an explanation.

Just then,

the aura of an unfamiliar Golden Core cultivator suddenly appeared in everyone’s perception.

Not long after, a stream of light streaked across the sky, landing in front of everyone, transforming into a white-haired old man in a long robe.

This person’s aura had reached the late Golden Core stage!

Furthermore,

he exuded an air of mystery, as if shrouded in a thin mist.

Upon seeing this person, Ye Hao’s expression grew more solemn.

In the entire Southern Region, there were only a handful of late Golden Core experts; when had another appeared?

“Who are you? What brings you here?”

“I am Wang Chunfeng. I have come today to resolve the grudges between you and the Hu family,”

the old man replied calmly.

Hearing this name, everyone suddenly understood.

Wang Chunfeng.

A third-tier divination master!

This man was once a close friend of the Huanghe Mountain lineage, having performed divination for them on numerous occasions.

Later, while trying to predict the fate of a mysterious person, he suffered a backlash from the heavens, shortening his lifespan by a hundred years.

After that ,

he announced his seclusion, rarely appearing in the Southern Region.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, he was still alive, and his cultivation had broken through to the late Golden Core stage.

Moreover, his divination skills must have also improved, most likely reaching the upper third tier.

“Fellow Daoists, could you possibly give this old man some face?”

Wang Chunfeng stood before the crowd, his white robes fluttering, exuding an extraordinary air, a picture of otherworldly grace.

Ye Hao’s expression was somewhat solemn.

Although his strength was considerable, he still had to be cautious when facing a late-stage Golden Core, third-tier divination master.

At this moment,

Li Chang’an patted his shoulder and smiled, “Let me handle this.”

“Alright.”

Ye Hao didn’t hesitate at all and immediately retreated to the back.

Although he didn’t know Li Chang’an’s true strength, he trusted him completely.

Li Chang’an came to the front, glanced at Wang Chunfeng, and smiled faintly.

“Wang Chunfeng, you old codger are still alive, which surprises me somewhat. Have you perhaps found quite a few longevity treasures again?”

“Li Chang’an, what do you mean?”

Wang Chunfeng’s expression was unfriendly.

He didn’t remember having any grudge against Li Chang’an, yet Li Chang’an called him an old codger the moment he opened his mouth.

Li Chang’an laughed, “Nothing much, just wanted to test your strength, old man.”

“You…”

Wang Chunfeng’s face immediately darkened.

He could tell that today’s events were definitely not going to end well.

“Li Chang’an, do you really want to fight me?”

As he spoke,

he secretly used a high-grade third-tier divination technique, intending to strike first.

Unbeknownst to him, Li Chang’an had already sensed this.

With a thought, he immediately used a fourth-tier divination technique, showing no mercy, and forcefully crushed Wang Chunfeng’s divination power.

A “pfft” was heard, and Wang Chunfeng’s body trembled violently, spitting out blood, staring at Li Chang’an in disbelief.

“Li Chang’an, you are actually…”

Before he could finish speaking, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

Then

, two streams of chilling blood flowed from his terrified eyes.

The same was true for his ears and nose!

These were symptoms of a severe backlash from the Heavenly Secrets.

Before he could recover…

Li Chang’an raised his hand and, as if grabbing a chicken, seized Wang Chunfeng’s head, crushing it instantly.

“Boom!”

Wang Chunfeng’s head exploded, and he died on the spot.

This renowned divination master of the Southern Region, famous for hundreds of years, died at the hands of Li Chang’an, a rising star.

His soul…

Li Chang’an naturally didn’t spare it.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Chunfeng’s soul appeared within the Soul-Honoring Banner.

His face showed fear as he asked, “Where is this?”

The evil spirit chuckled, “Hehehe, this is of course the Netherworld. I am the Wheel-Turning King, one of the Ten Kings of Hell. Why don’t you kneel down and pay your respects?”

“No, this isn’t the Netherworld, it’s clearly… clearly the Soul-Honoring Banner!”

Looking at the thousands upon thousands of souls around him, Wang Chunfeng’s face suddenly turned deathly pale.

He never imagined

that just to protect an ordinary Foundation Establishment family would lead him to this state.

How could a renowned righteous cultivator like Li Chang’an possess such a terrifying Soul Banner? Was he a spy for the Demonic Sect?

Wang Chunfeng couldn’t understand, and could only plead loudly, “Fellow Daoist Li, we’ve never had any enmity. Could you spare my life and let me reincarnate?”

“Heh heh, you old thing, haven’t you figured it out yet? Given my master’s temperament, if there were no enmity, why would he kill you?”

“I truly have no enmity with Fellow Daoist Li; this is even the first time we’ve met!”

“Is that so?”

The Fiend Soul’s expression was ferocious. With a wave of his hand, he condensed the image of Huanghe Mountain with his soul power.

He coldly questioned, “Old thing, have you forgotten that back then, for the sake of the Huanghe Mountain lineage, you twice used divination to target my master!”

“What? It’s him! It was actually him!”

Wang Chunfeng was struck dumb, frozen in place.

For so many years,

he had always wanted to know: who was the cultivator who caused him to lose a hundred years of his lifespan?

In his eyes, that person was a prodigy with great fortune, most likely not from the Southern Region at all, but merely passing through.

He never imagined that person would be Li Chang’an!

“That’s it! Li Chang’an’s divination skills are stronger than mine, and he can even form a core with the talent of a low-grade spiritual root. He must have had a great fortune. My defeat was not unjust!”

Wang Chunfeng sighed to the sky, finally understanding everything.

But it was too late.

If he had known earlier, he would have gathered Huang He Zhenren and many other friends to jointly besiege and kill Li Chang’an, crushing him completely before Li Chang’an could grow stronger.

But now, Li Chang’an was almost invincible in the Southern Region!

…

Meanwhile.

Outside.

Li Chang’an casually shook, shattering Wang Chunfeng’s corpse into dust.

He opened his storage bag and quickly found a jade slip.

Inside the jade slip

was a third-tier superior-grade divination inheritance possessed by Wang Chunfeng.

This inheritance was useless to Li Chang’an; he only glanced at it a few times before tossing it into a corner.

However,

there were quite a few treasures in the storage bag that caught his eye.

“Third-tier life-extending treasures!”

Li Chang’an carefully examined them.

Some of these life-extending treasures were ones he had never used before.

Others, though he had used them before, would still provide some life-extending effects if used again due to the characteristics of the Evergreen Technique.

Li Chang’an roughly calculated that

these treasures, added together, could extend his life by more than 150 years.

Including his existing lifespan,

his total lifespan would exceed 1,500 years!

“Truly, I’m getting younger with age!”

Li Chang’an smiled, in high spirits.

His current lifespan was quite long; he could even outlive a Nascent Soul enemy like True Monarch Huangsha.

Of course,

outliving an enemy wasn’t perfect; he couldn’t obtain the enemy’s storage bag and treasures.

“I still need to improve my strength and gain the power to crush a Nascent Soul True Monarch as soon as possible!

” “Let’s go, let’s go check out the Hu family.”

Li Chang’an put away his storage bag and led Ye Hao and the others to the Hu family.

Everyone was a long-time friend of Li Chang’an, and they were already used to his mysterious and unpredictable abilities.

Even though Wang Chunfeng, a late-stage Golden Core expert, was instantly killed by Li Chang’an, they weren’t particularly surprised.

A moment later ,

Li Chang’an and the others arrived at the Hu family’s territory.

At this moment, Hu Ke, the Hu family patriarch, was already kneeling in the Hu family’s territory.

His face was deathly pale, his whole body trembling, and he didn’t dare raise his head, because he had witnessed Wang Chunfeng being instantly killed by Li Chang’an.

“Senior Li… this junior is from the Hu family…”

*Boom!*

Before he could finish speaking, he was casually smashed to pieces by Li Chang’an.

Li Chang’an was too lazy to waste words with him and directly ordered the Fiend Soul to interrogate him, quickly learning the details.

The reason Wang Chunfeng stood up for the Hu family was because the Hu family had offered him a third-tier life-extending treasure.

That treasure…

Naturally, it fell into Li Chang’an’s hands.

After losing Hu Ke, their Foundation Establishment ancestor, the Hu family had fallen to the Qi Refining family.

Subsequently, Liu Zhengqi, the current head of the Liu family, achieved Foundation Establishment, elevating the Liu family to the Foundation Establishment family level.

The status of the two families instantly reversed.

The Hu family had no choice but to announce that they would become dependent on the Liu family, becoming its subordinate family, and offering up their second-tier spiritual vein.

The matter was thus concluded.

When the Liu family received the spiritual vein, Li Chang’an and his group had already left.

They did not return to Changqing Mountain, but instead went to the third-tier spiritual vein cultivation ground where Wang Chunfeng practiced.

This spiritual vein,

in terms of both spiritual energy concentration and scale, could not compare to the Changqing Mountain spiritual vein.

The spiritual energy concentration at its core was only barely at the upper-grade third tier.

Li Chang’an naturally did not want it.

However,

for Zheng Qingqing, this spiritual vein was a timely rain!

Although the Zheng family had become a Golden Core family, their family territory was still on the original second-tier spiritual vein, and they had not yet found a suitable third-tier spiritual vein.

Originally, Zheng Qingqing planned to have someone cultivate a spiritual vein once she had accumulated enough resources.

But now,

it was readily available right in front of her!

“Fellow Daoist Ye, do you need this spiritual vein?”

Zheng Qingqing looked at Ye Hao and asked him.
