Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 350

Chapter 350 Revered by All Beings, Embodied by Faith (Seeking Subscriptions)

Li Chang’an’s voice was calm, but it sounded quite harsh to Prince Huai.

Years ago ,

he had said similar things to Li Chang’an.

At that time, he claimed to be a Golden Core cultivator, not a Nascent Soul cultivator, so dealing with Li Chang’an wouldn’t be considered bullying the weak.

“Li Chang’an, I am the True Lord of Great Qi. To attack me is to oppose the Great Qi royal family.”

“Prince Huai need not worry about me. No one will know that you died by my hand.”

“You…”

Prince Huai’s face turned ashen. He immediately probed his storage bag with his divine sense, trying to retrieve the communication treasure to ask the Great Qi emperor to save him.

But he suddenly discovered that the storage bag was gone!

“How could this be?”

Prince Huai’s heart sank. He had no idea when the storage bag had been taken.

Now, without his many treasures, could he escape this trap with only his own strength?

“Li Chang’an, let’s talk.”

“There’s nothing to talk about.”

Li Chang’an’s tone was indifferent, and he waved his hand.

A terrifying array of power suddenly descended from the sky, slamming heavily onto King Huai.

This time, it was no illusion!

Boom!

King Huai shuddered violently, using defensive spells to withstand the attack.

“Very well! Li Chang’an, since you insist on a battle, I’ll show you the difference between an ordinary cultivator and a prodigy!”

He roared, his anger and fighting spirit soaring to the heavens, his magical power surging.

An aura surpassing the limits of the Golden Core stage instantly permeated the entire array.

“Even without the power of faith, I am still a top holy son of the Great Qi. What are you?”

King Huai’s hair and beard bristled, his magical power vast, actually managing to withstand the endless, near-fourth-order array power surrounding him.

He moved swiftly, instantly arriving at the edge of the array, unleashing dozens of astonishing spells in a flash.

The deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth!

However,

amidst this violent bombardment,

the array remained unscathed, without even a trace of damage.

Next, King Huai moved continuously within the formation, bombarding what he considered weak points, attempting to break the formation by force.

However, no matter what methods he used, the formation remained intact.

“Impossible!”

King Huai’s eyes widened in fury, unable to accept it.

To break the formation, he made the same choice as Gu Yunqi:

burning his lifespan!

In addition, he used several secret techniques that squeezed out his own potential.

With the support of multiple powers, his aura continued to rise, though not reaching the level of a Nascent Soul, it was still quite astonishing.

“Open for me!”

King Huai roared, unleashing his most powerful attack at this moment.

A loud bang was heard.

Dozens of formations in the area trembled simultaneously, but that was all.

“No, I have lived a glorious half-life, am I going to perish here?”

King Huai’s eyes were bloodshot, and his voice became hoarse.

Next,

he was like a trapped beast, frantically bombarding the formation.

But even as his golden core dimmed and his magic power was almost exhausted, the formation remained unmoved.

“Without the power of faith, this guy is no match for Gu Yunqi and Cui Baihong.”

Li Chang’an stood deep within the formation, his eyes unfathomable, watching the Prince Huai struggle.

The Prince Huai was, after all, merely a mortal, not a spirit. Although he had a small amount of faith power to support him, he quickly couldn’t hold on any longer.

A few more breaths passed.

He was covered in wounds, his magic power completely exhausted, and he was forced to his knees by the power of the formation.

“No! I am not reconciled!”

He roared, his face contorted.

Li Chang’an thought he was about to unleash some ultimate attack.

But after his roar, he remained kneeling, nothing happened, he was merely angry for a moment.

“It seems I was overthinking it; not everyone is Cui Baihong.”

Li Chang’an then appeared, using the Immortal Binding Rope to bind the Prince Huai tightly.

The Prince Huai struggled desperately, but it was all in vain.

“Li Chang’an, do you dare to fight me fairly without external assistance?”

“Prince Huai, you have no right to say that.”

Li Chang’an replied calmly.

“Back then, when you ambushed me with your faith, did you ever consider giving me a fair chance to fight?”

“I…”

King Huai was stunned.

How similar was Li Chang’an back then to him now?

He truly had no right to say such a thing.

In this battle,

Li Chang’an won honorably!

He used a seed of wood to refine King Huai into a puppet.

The matter ended there, proceeding smoothly from beginning to end without any surprises.

He had overestimated King Huai’s strength considerably, rendering many of his arrangements ineffective.

“Collect!”

Li Chang’an collected all the arrangements here and erased numerous traces and auras.

After doing all this, he did not return to Changqing Mountain, but went deep into this ruin, entering a dangerous area.

He created a temporary cave dwelling here, entered the depths of the cave, and isolated himself from the outside world with an array.

“Let’s take a look at this person’s storage bag first.”

Li Chang’an used the puppet to open his storage bag.

Inside the storage bag, treasures shone brightly.

As a pseudo-Nascent Soul True Monarch, King Huai’s collection of treasures far surpassed that of Qi Jingyun and others.

“Unfortunately, these fourth-tier treasures all bear the mark of the Great Qi Emperor. They must have been borrowed from the Great Qi royal family by Prince Huai.”

Li Chang’an looked at the numerous fourth-tier treasures, tempted but not touching them to avoid any unforeseen complications.

He glanced past the treasures and looked at a pile of jade slips in the corner of his storage bag.

The purpose of this trip.

It might be hidden among these jade slips.

Li Chang’an probed them one by one with his divine sense, searching carefully.

However, these jade slips contained only ordinary cultivation techniques and spells, none of which contained the method of faith he needed.

Next,

Li Chang’an searched the entire storage bag from inside to outside, but still couldn’t find the method of faith.

He turned his gaze to Prince Huai, searching the prince from head to toe, only finding a few dimly lit protective treasures.

“Prince Huai, where is the method of faith?”

Li Chang’an released the restrictions of the Wood Seed Technique and asked him.

Prince Huai did not answer, but instead roared angrily: “Li Chang’an, you are actually the successor of the Blood Demon! If this becomes known, you will surely be condemned by the world and die without a burial place!”

He was extremely knowledgeable, and in the instant he was controlled, he guessed the spell Li Chang’an had used.

Li Chang’an said calmly: “Whether I will die or not is still up for debate. Prince Huai, if you don’t tell me the method of faith, I won’t be able to save my life.”

“You…”

Prince Huai opened his mouth, a struggle flashing in his eyes.

The Great Qi Immortal Dynasty has existed for 30,000 years because of its Faith Method.

During this time, the Faith Method has never been leaked.

If he were to tell Li Chang’an, he would become a sinner against the entire Great Qi.

“It seems Prince Huai doesn’t intend to tell me.”

Li Chang’an’s tone suddenly turned icy.

He waved his hand.

The Soul-Honoring Banner flew out, and a monstrous ghost emerged from it, laughing strangely.

“Hehehe, you old thing, you’ve finally fallen into your master’s hands!”

It had a blue face and fangs, incredibly ferocious, its eyes like burning blue lamps, staring intently at Prince Huai as if it were a delicacy.

Although Li Chang’an didn’t feel aggrieved at being ambushed by Prince Huai, he was incredibly resentful and had always wanted to capture Prince Huai to vent his anger.

“Master, I’ve already tortured Xu Jingxian to the point of his soul being scattered. I was just worried about not having another one to torture.”

Hearing the words “soul scattered,” Prince Huai trembled.

What terrifying methods could cause someone’s soul to be scattered?

But once the soul is scattered, it completely dissipates into the world.

Everything was in vain!

Was he really going to give up even the hope of reincarnation for the sake of the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty?

Just then, the Fiend Soul chuckled again: “Master, hand this old thing over to me. In a month at most, I’ll make him hand over the Faith Method!”

With that, he prepared to make his move.

King Huai’s expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly called out,

“Wait!”

“What, do you have any last words, old thing?”

“No, this old man… this old man is willing to give up the Faith Method.”

To say these words, King Huai seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

After speaking, he stopped struggling and agonizing, his energy and spirit plummeted, and his back was no longer straight, as if his spine had been removed.

Next.

Under the gaze of Li Chang’an and the Fiend Soul.

King Huai picked up his brush and wrote down a thick book of Faith Application Methods.

【The Imperial Way Method Respected by All Beings】

Thirty thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Great Qi received this technique from the Azure Wood Heavenly Lord, creating the Great Qi’s thirty thousand years of glory.

Today, this technique has come into the hands of Li Chang’an.

With this method,

his path to becoming a fake infant had officially taken a significant step forward.

At this moment, even his usually calm heart couldn’t help but stir with a few ripples, a hint of excitement rising within him.

He took a few deep breaths, suppressing his numerous emotions and maintaining his focus.

“A gift from the Heavenly Lord!”

Li Chang’an’s eyes deepened as he carefully examined the cultivation technique.

Its profound mystery surpassed any technique he had ever encountered, opening another door for him.

This was a completely different path of cultivation.

He spent several days fully comprehending all its contents.

That evening,

Li Chang’an circulated the technique, a barely perceptible golden light flashing deep within his eyes.

In an instant,

the entire world before him changed.

Countless shimmering golden streams of faith appeared in the once ordinary天地间 (heaven and earth).

These streams converged, transforming into dazzling streams that flowed ceaselessly between heaven and

earth. These streams then merged into a mighty river, flowing in all directions.

Li Chang’an himself

was the endpoint of a river of faith!

“The faith power within me comes from the Changqing Mountain region.”

Within the Changqing Mountain region lay numerous mortal kingdoms.

Li Chang’an did not directly manage these kingdoms, but rather allowed his various families to manage them separately.

Whenever mortal realms faced calamities such as droughts, locust plagues, or floods, various families would issue missions to their disciples to handle the disasters.

Natural disasters that mortals were powerless against were nothing compared to those of cultivators, who could usually resolve them easily.

Over time,

many mortal realms began to offer sacrifices to the cultivators of these families.

However, the cultivators dared not accept these sacrifices privately, and instead instructed the mortals to replace their statues with those of Li Chang’an, the Evergreen Ancestor.

Mortals could not comprehend the realms of “Qi Refining,” “Foundation Building,” and “Golden Core,” so they addressed Li Chang’an by the most noble names they could imagine.

Now,

in many mortal realms,

Li Chang’an had countless titles,

such as “Great Emperor Haotian,” “Great Heavenly Venerable,” and “Jade Emperor.”

In the eyes of many mortals, he was the supreme being who governed all gods.

Almost every moment, people knelt before his statue.

The threads of faith from all living beings ultimately converged into this magnificent river, flowing into his body.

With a thought, Li Chang’an activated the “Universal Respect for the Emperor’s Path” technique, causing his aura to surge rapidly, instantly rising from the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm to the late-stage, and quickly reaching the peak of the Golden Core realm.

A moment later,

he shuddered, breaking through the limits of the Golden Core realm!

However, that was all.

The mortal faith of the Changqing Mountain region alone was insufficient to grant him Nascent Soul strength; he was far from even the weakest Pseudo-Nascent Soul.

“My cultivation level remains at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, but I have temporarily gained a wieldable force of faith,”

Li Chang’an silently assessed his condition.

The path of faith and the path of magic power are two different paths, yet they share some similarities.

Otherwise,

Li Chang’an would definitely feel extremely awkward.

After all, two distinct forces are difficult to control, but the power of faith and magic power can complement each other.

“It is said that all paths lead to the same destination. Regardless of the power, whether human or other races, all cultivation methods have commonalities and ultimately lead to the same ultimate realm.”

That realm was still too far away for Li Chang’an at his current level.

For now, the power brought by this faith was already quite satisfying. At

this

moment, he faintly heard some chaotic prayers.

“Honorable Lord Haotian, we beg you to bless us with favorable weather and a good harvest next year.”

“Supreme Heavenly Venerable, we beg you to send down divine punishment to punish that greedy county magistrate.”

“Heavenly Emperor, we beg you to protect my son’s safety…

“

These voices included men and women, young and old.

As he heard their prayers, Li Chang’an could even vaguely see their faces.

At this moment, he understood.

If he responded to their prayers and helped these mortals, it would strengthen their faith.

However,

he did nothing.

He worried that showing too much consideration for mortals would arouse suspicion from the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty.

The Great Qi was extremely wary of methods of faith.

In the past 30,000 years, many forces had been suspected by the Great Qi of possessing methods of faith, leading to their annihilation.

Although Li Chang’an was strong, he was still somewhat weak against the behemoth that was the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty.

“Only when I truly achieve the Nascent Soul stage can I speak with these forces on equal footing.”

“Until then, I can only endure, first mastering the strength of a pseudo-Nascent Soul, and then using that strength to seek the opportunity to form a Nascent Soul.”

With this in mind,

Li Chang’an used a secret technique from the “Universal Respect for the Emperor’s Path” to block out the prayers of all beings.

All sounds vanished instantly, and his ears returned to silence.

But the power of faith did not diminish.

Now, he

had broken through the limits of the Golden Core stage in every aspect.

Even without using other methods, he could easily defeat the holy sons and daughters of Nascent Soul sects.

A moment later,

Li Chang’an calmed his mind and continued interrogating Prince Huai.

“Prince Huai, I once entered the Great Qi Treasury. While there were many treasures, there weren’t many fourth-tier treasures, and I couldn’t find any Nascent Soul opportunities. Is it because my status isn’t high enough that I can’t see more treasures?”

“No, as a Golden Core Guest Elder, you can already see all the treasures,”

Prince Huai explained cooperatively.

The Great Qi Immortal Dynasty’s treasury only stored ordinary treasures.

All the precious treasures were in the Great Qi Emperor’s private treasury.

This private treasury

was managed by successive Great Qi Emperors.

Apart from the Great Qi Emperor himself, no one knew exactly how many treasures were inside.

What was certain was that there was at least one complete Nascent Soul opportunity within!

“I see.”

After some questioning,

Li Chang’an gained a better understanding of the Great Qi royal family.

Currently, Great Qi still has many cultivators at the peak of the Golden Core stage, mostly former Holy Sons and Daughters.

Therefore, even if Prince Huai were to fall, it wouldn’t be a significant loss for Great Qi.

The power of faith would remain and wouldn’t disappear with Prince Huai’s death.

The Great Qi royal family could quickly cultivate a new Nascent Soul cultivator.

Furthermore,

Li Chang’an learned something surprising.

“Prince Huai, you actually imprisoned the old emperor of the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty?”

Years ago, while chatting with the guardian of the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty’s library, Li Chang’an unexpectedly learned that the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty still had an old emperor in the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

That old emperor’s lifespan hadn’t ended, yet he had mysteriously disappeared.

If he hadn’t disappeared

, he alone would have been enough to deal with the two Nascent Soul cultivators of the Wang family.

Li Chang’an had assumed that the old emperor had likely encountered an accident while exploring ancient ruins.

But he never expected that

Prince Huai, this Nascent Soul cultivator, would be related to the old emperor’s disappearance.

“It wasn’t exactly imprisonment, but rather using an existing ancient formation to trap him. At my strongest, I was only a Nascent Soul cultivator; how could I possibly be his match?”

King Huai answered frankly.

During a treasure hunt in a secret realm, he unexpectedly discovered a complete mid-stage fourth-order formation.

Furthermore, the central treasure controlling the formation was casually placed outside.

After refining the central treasure,

he became the controller of the formation.

Later, the old emperor was dissatisfied with his control of the power of faith and proposed replacing it with a peak Golden Core cultivator.

“That old bastard wanted to strip me of my power of faith and let his descendants control it. How could I let him slaughter me?”

Speaking of this

, King Huai’s words carried a hint of satisfaction.

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone a Nascent Soul True Monarch like himself.

With a little strategy, he lured the old emperor into the formation and trapped him within.

“That area is rather strange; even communication artifacts are useless there, so he can’t call for help from the Emperor and remains trapped… As for the array’s core, it’s in my storage bag—a grayish-white stone bead.”

Upon hearing this, Li Chang’an immediately probed his storage bag with his divine sense.

Previously, he had been focused on finding the Faith Method and hadn’t paid much attention to other things. Now, searching again, he indeed found a somewhat special stone bead.

The bead’s appearance was unremarkable, and its magical energy fluctuations were very weak.

However, it was a treasure of extremely high quality.

Li Chang’an took out the stone bead and quickly refined it.

At the very moment of refining,

he sensed something.

The array controlled by this object was located within the Great Qi territory of the Eastern Region.

“I can use this to release that old Emperor and gain a favor from the Great Qi royal family.”

“But, in doing so, my capture of Prince Huai will definitely be exposed, and the Great Qi royal family will most likely suspect that I obtained the Faith Method.”

After pondering for a moment, Li Chang’an decided to leave the old Emperor trapped.

This was not only for his own safety,

but also for the stability of the entire cultivation world of Zhao.
