Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 365

Chapter 365 Respected by All Living Beings, Li Chang’an Creates a Fake Infant (Seeking Subscriptions)

That rebellion

was a turning point in the history of the entire Fire Cloud Secret Realm.

Hundreds of Golden Core cultivators in the entire secret realm were slaughtered, all forces were destroyed, and a large amount of data was destroyed in the chaos.

Except for the Fire Cloud Divine Palace, all other sects and families were completely wiped out.

From then on,

successive Fire Cloud Divine Lords began to use the treasures left behind by the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty.

In the years that followed, countless upheavals occurred.

Whenever the situation was completely out of control, the Fire Cloud Divine Palace would use fourth-tier power to destroy everything.

Because of this,

many low-level cultivators in the Fire Cloud Secret Realm believed that this world had experienced several great calamities, causing the past records to disappear.

In fact, the so-called great calamities were caused by the Fire Cloud Divine Palace.

“Indeed, some ancient texts were destroyed in the turmoil, but many were also collected by my Fire Cloud Divine Palace, especially records concerning the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty.”

“Therefore, the inhabitants of the Fire Cloud Secret Realm today are completely unaware of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty’s existence, believing the Fire Cloud Secret Realm to be the entire cultivation world…”

The Fire Cloud Divine Lord slowly recounted.

If his words were to reach the outside world, they would

undoubtedly cause a huge uproar, potentially leading to a new round of turmoil within the secret realm.

However, Li Chang’an used an array to intercept all sounds.

He asked the Fire Cloud Divine Lord,

“Do you know the entrance and exit of the secret realm?”

“I don’t know.”

The Fire Cloud Divine Lord shook his head.

“Not only do I not know, but our ancestors throughout history have also been unaware.”

“Oh? Haven’t you considered investigating?”

“They all dared not.”

The Fire Cloud Divine Lord stated.

According to records, the officials of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty appeared suddenly.

Only those officials knew the location of the secret realm’s entrance and exit. Even the

native inhabitants of the Fire Cloud Secret Realm, even those of the Fire Cloud Divine Lord’s lineage, did not know how to leave.

His ancestors, fearing the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, though curious about the outside world, dared not explore the entrance to the secret realm.

Even though they all believed the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty might no longer exist,

they still dared not act rashly.

“My ancestors all thought there was nothing wrong with dominating this small secret realm, but I don’t think so. Actually, I’ve considered exploring the exit.”

The Fire Cloud God Lord’s courage far surpassed that of his ancestors.

He originally planned to break through to the fourth level of Body Refinement first, and then search for the exit of the secret realm.

That way,

even if he encountered a Nascent Soul True Monarch from the outside world, he would have a fighting chance!

However,

before he could successfully break through, Li Chang’an arrived.

“Fortunately, I acted quickly enough.”

Li Chang’an secretly rejoiced.

The exit of the secret realm wasn’t actually that hidden.

As long as the Fire Cloud God Lord mobilized cultivators throughout the world to search, it wouldn’t take long to find it.

At this moment, the Fire Cloud God Lord asked the question that had been on his mind.

“My lord, has the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty already perished?”

“Yes.”

Li Chang’an had completely taken control of the Fire Cloud God Lord, so there was no need to hide much.

He immediately began to recount the events that had transpired outside.

From the fall of the Great Jin, to the Nine Immortal Sects, to the last Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord, and now to the war between good and evil.

After listening,

the Fire Cloud God Lord remained silent for a long time.

According to Li Chang’an, the righteous path had little chance of winning this war.

If the demonic path were to take over Changqing Mountain, the entire Fire Cloud Secret Realm would face a great calamity.

His own fate would likely be even more tragic than it was now.

Now,

although he had become Li Chang’an’s servant, he was not heavily bound and could see a higher world through Li Chang’an.

“My lord, if the righteous path is defeated, can you take me with you?”

“Don’t worry, when that time comes, I will take you with me.”

Li Chang’an promised.

To him, the Fire Cloud God Lord was already his personal property, so naturally he would take him with him.

About half an hour later,

the interrogation ended.

Li Chang’an and the Fire Cloud God Lord went to see his private treasury.

Inside, there was a vast amount of Fire Cloud Crystals.

As far as the eye could see,

countless Fire Cloud Crystals were piled up like mountains.

In addition, there were many fourth-tier treasures, all left behind by the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty.

“The total value of these Fire Cloud Crystals and treasures is probably comparable to the accumulated wealth of those Nascent Soul sects over ten thousand years,”

Li Chang’an said without hesitation, waving his hand and putting all the treasures into his storage bag.

Afterwards, he went to the Fire Cloud God Lord’s private library.

Inside the library were many cultivation techniques and spells,

but most were of low grade.

The Great Jin Immortal Dynasty of that time must have been worried about the emergence of unparalleled geniuses in the Fire Cloud Secret Realm, and deliberately suppressed the cultivators there.

Li Chang’an carefully examined them and didn’t see any that reached the Heavenly Rank; even the Earthly Rank techniques and spells were few and far between.

Furthermore, the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation were incomplete, with only the four arts of “Alchemy, Talismans, Weapons, and Arrays” reaching the third rank.

Their methods of using various treasures were also quite rudimentary.

Under such circumstances,

those who could cultivate to the Golden Core stage were almost all rare geniuses.

Take Gao Tianlan, the first to submit to Li Chang’an, for example; if he were in the outside world, he would have already reached the late Golden Core stage.

Soon, Li Chang’an discovered records about the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty.

“It turns out that this world once had fourth-tier spiritual veins, and more than one, but they were all taken away by the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty.”

“Without fourth-tier spiritual veins, advancing to the Nascent Soul stage will be much more difficult.”

These ancient texts record the actions of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty in this world.

According to their descriptions,

this world originally contained many dangerous places.

Besides humans, there were also numerous demonic beasts and strange alien races.

Among those alien races, there were even fourth-tier beings comparable to Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

They refused to submit to the rule of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty and joined forces to rebel, only to be suppressed and killed by a Nascent Soul decree casually issued by a Great Jin official.

The dangerous places were also leveled by the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty.

Many strange and bizarre creatures were pure jokes in the face of Nascent Soul power.

In the end,

after the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty’s pioneering efforts,

this world lost its original wildness.

Almost only humans and some domesticated demonic beasts remained.

“Pioneering…”

Li Chang’an discovered that many ancient texts mentioned this term.

“For the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, this small world is indeed considered a wild and untamed land.”

“During the reclamation process, the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty discovered many treasures. Many alien races themselves are treasures, such as precious spiritual metals that have developed sentience, rare plants and trees, rare crystals, and so on…”

These reclamation stories broadened Li Chang’an’s horizons.

He flipped through them with great interest ,

spending several days reading them.

After finishing,

he continued to look at other ancient books.

The remaining ancient books were mostly of little value, recording only fragmented and trivial matters.

Li Chang’an thought he wouldn’t gain anything more.

However, not long after, he made a new discovery.

“The Three Treasures for Exterminating Infants!”

Li Chang’an held an ancient jade slip in his hand, carefully browsing its contents.

This jade slip recorded the refining methods of three treasures.

These three treasures were the “Infant-Suppressing Nail,” the “Infant-Trapping Net,” and the “Infant-Binding Bottle,” all reaching the fourth-tier low-grade level, and all targeting Nascent Souls.

Therefore, they were called the Three Treasures for Exterminating Infants.

Nascent Soul True Monarchs are very difficult to kill. Even if their physical bodies are destroyed, as long as the Nascent Soul escapes, it can quickly regain its Nascent Soul state by possessing a suitable body.

The speed at which a Nascent Soul escapes is astonishing; ordinary True Monarchs simply cannot stop it. These three treasures

for destroying Nascent Souls

all have a restraining effect on Nascent Souls.

If Li Chang’an could refine these three treasures, dealing with Nascent Soul enemies would be much easier in the future.

“Unfortunately, I don’t have a fourth-order weapon-refining inheritance. Relying solely on my own comprehension, I don’t know how many years it would take to break through to the fourth order.”

He sighed inwardly and memorized the materials needed to refine these three treasures.

Although he couldn’t use them now,

it was better to be prepared.

Besides these three treasures for destroying Nascent Souls, Li Chang’an also discovered several relatively useful ancient books.

After reading these ancient books,

he entered the depths of Fire Cloud Mountain and arrived at a separate secret chamber.

The Fire Cloud God Lord introduced to him: “My lord, this secret chamber is the greatest secret of the entire Fire Cloud Secret Realm.”

Inside the secret chamber, there were no treasures or books,

only more than ten circular formations.

The lineage of the Fire Cloud God Lord has passed down the secrets through generations. Each God Lord, before dying, instructs his descendants to safeguard this secret chamber.

“Our ancestor said these formations are teleportation arrays, capable of transporting one to other secret realms. However, before the last official of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty left, he destroyed all the arrays and instructed our ancestor to guard them carefully.”

“Teleportation arrays?”

Li Chang’an stepped forward, standing before one of the arrays, carefully observing it.

These arrays were indeed very similar to the teleportation arrays he had seen in the Vermilion Bird’s Nest.

However,

each array had incomplete parts.

With Li Chang’an’s current mastery of array formations, he couldn’t complete them.

“Since these arrays were left by the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, they most likely lead to other secret realms controlled by the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty. Perhaps each world has abundant cultivation resources…”

Li Chang’an slowly sat down, pondering carefully.

After a moment,

he gave instructions to the Fire Cloud God Lord.

“I need to investigate here for a while. Go and summon the rest of the Golden Core cultivators.”

“Yes!”

“By the way, when did the titles ‘God Venerable,’ ‘God King,’ and ‘God Emperor’ appear?”

“My lord, these titles were changed by one of my ancestors to suppress other cultivators, making them believe that the path of cultivation only has three realms.”

The Fire Cloud God Lord truthfully informed them before leaving.

…

At this moment. In

the Heavenly Azure Divine Realm.

Inside the God Emperor’s Palace, a standoff occurred.

Because Li Chang’an had not yet defeated the Fire Cloud God Lord, those who had originally submitted to him were gradually wavering.

Recently, more than ten God Emperors planned to betray him and reveal Li Chang’an’s existence to the Fire Cloud God Lord.

Their leader was the Azure Wolf God Emperor.

This person’s cultivation was not bad, having reached the late Golden Core stage, which is a high-level God Emperor.

“Everyone, the Fire Cloud God Lord is about to achieve the fourth realm. How can Li Changqing compare to him? If the two of them fight, Li Changqing will undoubtedly lose!”

The Azure Wolf God Emperor’s voice was calm as he persuaded the crowd.

“It’s not too late to back down now, why are you all so stubborn?”

Behind him, more than a dozen God Emperors spoke up, supporting his view.

Gao Tianlan and Mu Danyang, however, stood on the opposite side.

Behind them,

there were more than twenty God Emperors.

Gao Tianlan shouted, “So what if the Changqing God Lord lost? At least he showed us the glory beyond the third realm. Are we going to abandon a higher path of cultivation just to survive?”

“Well said! Rather than living a life of ignominy, we should fight to the death!”

Mu Danyang responded coldly.

The Wuji God Emperor also said, “It’s just death, what is there to fear?”

Those who had originally followed Li Chang’an remained steadfast in their stance.

However,

most of the God Emperors behind them were somewhat tempted.

Many of these God Emperors had submitted to Li Chang’an out of fear of death.

Just then, a beam of fire suddenly descended from the sky, forcibly breaking through the formation and landing inside the God Emperor’s Palace.

It was none other than the Fire Cloud God Lord!

Upon seeing him…

Everyone’s expressions changed drastically, none of them expecting the Fire Cloud God Lord to descend upon them.

“God Lord!”

The Azure Wolf God Emperor and the others hurriedly bowed, expressing their respect and submission to the Fire Cloud God Lord.

Gao Tianlan and Mu Danyang, however, remained upright, prepared for a desperate battle.

“God Lord, these people have pledged allegiance to a man named Li Changqing!”

The Azure Wolf God Emperor spoke humbly, pointing at Gao Tianlan and the others, recounting the events of the past few years.

As he spoke,

the atmosphere in the God Emperor’s Palace grew increasingly heavy.

Everyone sensed that a storm was about to sweep through the entire Tianlan God Emperor’s Palace.

However,

after the Azure Wolf God Emperor finished speaking,

the Fire Cloud God Lord did not make a move, but simply said calmly,

“It’s nothing, I have also submitted to God Lord Changqing.”

“What?”

Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished.

They exchanged bewildered glances, each one unable to believe it, thinking they had misheard.

The mighty Fire Cloud God Lord, a powerhouse nearing the fourth realm, had actually submitted to Li Chang’an!

“God Lord, you…you’re not joking, are you?”

The Azure Wolf God Emperor’s face turned pale, his voice trembling.

If the Fire Cloud God Lord had truly submitted to Li Chang’an, what would become of him, who openly led a betrayal?

The Fire Cloud God Lord glanced at him indifferently.

“Azure Wolf, it seems you still harbor ulterior motives.”

“No, no…Your Majesty, I absolutely have no ulterior motives.”

The Azure Wolf God Emperor was filled with remorse and repeatedly protested.

“Since you have also submitted to the Evergreen God Lord, then my submission to you is equivalent to my submission to the Evergreen God Lord.”

“What a fool.”

The Fire Cloud God Lord was too lazy to say anything more and casually struck out with his palm.

Boom!

The Azure Wolf God Emperor instantly exploded, turning into a pool of flesh and blood.

The dozen or so God Emperors behind him were all deathly pale, silent as cicadas in winter, fearing they would be wiped out as well.

But the Fire Cloud God Lord didn’t look at them, only saying, “Go and summon the other God Emperors. The Evergreen God Lord wants to see you.”

“Yes!”

Many present breathed a sigh of relief and transformed into streaks of light, departing for other divine realms.

…

The next day.

The entire Fire Cloud Secret Realm.

Hundreds of God Emperors gathered at the Fire Cloud Divine Palace.

Of course, the Fire Cloud Divine Palace had now been renamed the Evergreen Divine Palace.

Li Chang’an, dressed in white robes, stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the numerous God Emperors.

“Is everyone here?”

“Yes, everyone is here.”

The Fire Cloud God Lord stood to the side, bowing slightly, his face full of reverence.

At his signal,

hundreds of God Emperors bowed in unison, their voices in perfect unison.

“Greetings, Evergreen God Lord!”

“Hmm.”

Li Chang’an nodded slightly.

From this day forward,

the entire Fire Cloud Secret Realm officially belonged to him!

He flicked his finger, unleashing several bursts of magical power, instantly shattering several disloyal God Emperors.

The stench of blood in the hall instantly intensified.

Most of the remaining people were tense, sweating profusely, and lowered their heads, not daring to meet Li Chang’an’s gaze.

“Rest assured, everyone, I have never liked fighting and killing. The reason I killed those few was because of their betrayal,”

Li Chang’an’s calm voice echoed throughout the temple.

As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved, and a beam of spiritual light flew out from his storage bag, landing on one side of the hall and transforming into a green pavilion.

“This is the Evergreen Pavilion, with seven floors, each containing treasures. The higher the floor, the more precious the treasures. The seventh floor contains Heaven-grade cultivation techniques and spells.”

“Heaven-grade?”

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up at the Evergreen Pavilion, utterly shocked.

Before today,

the entire Fire Cloud Secret Realm had never seen a Heaven-grade cultivation technique.

Even Golden Core experts could only cultivate high-grade techniques, never even seeing Earth-grade ones.

But now,

a Heaven-grade cultivation technique was right before their eyes!

Moreover, Li Chang’an wouldn’t have given away the Evergreen Pavilion without reason; he was clearly giving them the opportunity to acquire the technique.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn’t help but feel excited, their previous fear and unease lessening considerably.

Li Chang’an remained calm, taking in everyone’s expressions.

He continued, “As long as you have enough contribution points, you can exchange them for the treasures within.”

“Divine Lord, how do we obtain contribution points?”

Gao Tianlan asked respectfully.

Li Chang’an explained, “It’s simple. Offering treasures or completing tasks will earn you contribution points. Of course… the best way to gain contribution points is to bring me faith.”

“Faith?”

“That’s right!”

Li Chang’an glanced at everyone and nodded slightly.

“As God Emperors, each of you controls a divine realm. The more faith your divine realm provides, the more contribution points you will receive.”

“God Lord, can we accept faith from mortals or cultivators?”

“Yes, as long as there is faith, it’s fine.”

Li Chang’an casually waved his hand, tossing out hundreds of jade slips, informing them of the best way to gather faith.

After the meeting,

the hundreds of God Emperors sprang into action, returning to their respective divine realms as quickly as possible.

In the days that followed, dynasties changed hands repeatedly throughout the mortal kingdoms of the Fire Cloud Secret Realm, with emperors and ministers directly appointed by cultivators.

All statues in temples in the mortal world were replaced with statues of Li Chang’an.

All offerings had to be made to Li Chang’an.

Countless cultivators appeared throughout the mortal realm.

They used magic to resolve natural disasters, distribute food, kill corrupt officials, and satisfy the needs of mortals as much as possible, while proclaiming that everything was ordered by Li Chang’an, the Evergreen God.

“Thank you, God!”

“Father, Mother, the God sent a messenger to kill all the corrupt officials who bullied us!”

“The God also bestowed a title upon a Water Dragon King; there will never be another drought…

“

Countless mortals were filled with gratitude, many even wailing, thinking they were dreaming of an unprecedented golden age.

In just two years, the entire Fire Cloud Secret Realm had been transformed.

Now,

all living beings in Fire Cloud revere the Evergreen God.

Before the God’s statue, one can vaguely see a hazy white light by sincerely praying. At

the end of the light, a blurry figure in white robes stands with hands behind his back, his back to all living beings, exuding an aura of mystery and power.

…

At the very center of the entire world, deep within the Evergreen Temple,

Li Chang’an sits cross-legged.

He closed his eyes slightly, focusing his inner energy on his dantian, fully circulating the Faith Technique.

A massive amount of the faith of all living beings surged into his dantian like a tidal wave, causing his aura to surge rapidly, instantly breaking through the third-tier limit.

Within a few breaths, his aura soared wildly, gradually approaching another level.

Within his dantian, above his golden core, a faint phantom image appeared.

Finally,

this phantom image took shape—an infant remarkably similar to himself.

His own aura also leaped dramatically at this moment, successfully entering another level.

Li Chang’an opened his eyes, slowly rising. An unprecedented sense of power spread through his body; even a trace of his aura was enough to make a Golden Core cultivator tremble.

“Today, I have achieved the False Infant!”
