Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 366

Chapter 366 Within the Scope of Strength, Unsealing the Treasure (Seeking Subscriptions)

Li Chang’an soared into the sky, stretching his body, releasing his nascent soul aura without reservation.

At this moment,

the entire Fire Cloud Secret Realm,

whether mortals or cultivators, regardless of age or gender, witnessed it all.

His body shone brightly, his divine might was unparalleled, and his aura was majestic, like a blazing sun, adding a layer of dazzling golden light to the entire sky.

“It’s the God Lord!”

“Greetings, God Lord!”

“Greetings…”

All living beings knelt down, their faces full of respect, their devout voices echoing throughout the secret realm.

Compared to mortals, many cultivators, especially Golden Core cultivators, not only had reverence in their voices, but also excitement.

Gao Tianlan was overjoyed, his whole body trembling with excitement.

“The Fourth Realm! It’s the pressure of the Fourth Realm!”

“The God Lord has succeeded, he has reached the true Fourth Realm!”

Mu Danyang and the Limitless God Emperor and others were also unable to remain calm.

The remaining God Emperors, even those who had harbored disloyal thoughts, were now completely convinced.

They all gazed at Li Chang’an with fervent eyes, as if witnessing an immortal legend!

“Nascent Soul Realm!”

Standing outside the temple, the Fire Cloud God Lord felt the immense pressure, and the last trace of resentment in his heart vanished completely.

At this moment, Li Chang’an

was like an ancient, eternal god, standing firmly at the pinnacle of the entire Fire Cloud World.

With just a word, countless people would be willing to die for him.

His already immense power of faith surged once more, causing his aura to rise again.

Now, in terms of strength, he was no longer considered weak among Pseudo-Nascent Soul cultivators.

It should be noted that

there are different levels within the Pseudo-Nascent Soul Realm.

Some Pseudo-Nascent Soul cultivators had only barely condensed a Pseudo-Nascent Soul, while others were very close to a True Nascent Soul.

“Just now, I barely crossed the Nascent Soul realm, roughly on par with the weakest Nascent Soul cultivator.”

“Now, my faith power has increased significantly. Among Nascent Soul cultivators, my strength should be considered average.”

Li Chang’an showed no restraint, fully absorbing the power he felt.

“This isn’t the limit. The Fire Cloud Secret Realm is vast, with immense potential…”

Originally, life was incredibly difficult for the lower-level mortals of the Fire Cloud Secret Realm.

Droughts, floods, locust plagues, and other disasters struck one after another.

Coupled with corrupt officials and years of war

, before Li Chang’an’s reforms, every mortal kingdom could be described as a place of utter misery.

Now,

natural disasters have ceased, wars have subsided, and governance is clean.

Furthermore, to gain more faith power, each divine realm encourages childbirth.

The more children, the greater the reward.

It is foreseeable that

the entire Fire Cloud Secret Realm will experience a surge in its mortal population in the future.

In other words,

Li Chang’an’s faith power will not decrease, but rather increase.

His own strength would also continue to grow, gradually rivaling those top-tier Pseudo-Nascent Soul cultivators, and even surpassing the threshold of True Nascent Soul.

“It still needs time. I hope the war between good and evil can last a little longer.”

Next,

Li Chang’an planned to

use his Pseudo-Nascent Soul strength to plan for resources to form his own Nascent Soul.

Of course, he needed to solve the problem of losing faith power first.

His current strength was limited to the Fire Cloud Secret Realm; once he left the secret realm, it would gradually decline.

“Let’s test my current strength first.”

Li Chang’an’s figure flickered, returning to the Evergreen Divine Palace.

He rearranged the fourth-order grand formation.

Then, he stood within the formation, using all his strength to control it against himself.

Terrifying spiritual light descended from the sky, heavily striking his defensive spells.

“Boom!”

A loud noise was heard.

Several spells he cast shattered, but the power of that formation was also completely exhausted.

“This formation of mine is enough to deal with True Nascent Soul cultivators. I myself am only a Pseudo-Nascent Soul cultivator, so it’s a bit difficult to deal with, but holding out for a while shouldn’t be too difficult.”

After some testing,

Li Chang’an had a clear understanding of his own strength.

He was no match for a True Infant cultivator like Jiang Xuanyuan, but he could run away even if he couldn’t win.

He could completely crush Golden Core cultivators.

Even the holy sons and daughters of major sects were like ants before him.

“This power of faith is too immense. Ordinary cultivators can’t see it, but the Great Qi False Infant True Monarch, who also cultivates the Faith Method, can see it. Some cultivators with special artifacts that can dispel illusions can also see it. I have to conceal it.”

Li Chang’an’s thoughts stirred, and he used a concealment technique.

Within the Emperor’s Path of Universal Respect, there is a spell to conceal one’s own power of faith.

The weakness of the Faith Method is obvious: it requires a territory of one’s own.

This territory is easily targeted by enemies.

Once destroyed,

the strength of a faith cultivator will plummet.

Therefore, concealing one’s own power of faith is essential.

After concealment, the power of faith surrounding Li Chang’an weakened back to its initial state.

But his strength remained unchanged.

In this way,

outsiders would only think he was a true False Infant cultivator.

Of course, he had a weakness: he couldn’t separate his nascent soul from his body.

If his physical body were destroyed, he would truly die, unable to escape with his nascent soul like a true Nascent Soul cultivator.

“If I leave the Fire Cloud Secret Realm, how far can my pseudo-nascent soul strength be maintained?”

After a moment’s thought, Li Chang’an headed straight for the exit of the Fire Cloud Secret Realm.

At the exit,

his strength hadn’t diminished.

A moment later, he left the exit and returned to the Changqing Mountain courtyard.

Here,

Li Chang’an clearly felt that

the faith power he received from the Fire Cloud Secret Realm had decreased, but the faith power from the Changqing Mountain region had increased.

In the Changqing Mountain region, a large number of mortals worshipped him, the Changqing Ancestor.

With one increase and one decrease, his strength had not fallen too much. He

was still a Pseudo-Nascent Soul cultivator!

“In this region, I am still a Pseudo-Nascent Soul True Monarch, not bad!”

Li Chang’an smiled, in high spirits.

From then on,

even if a True Monarch attacked Changqing Mountain, he would have no need to fear.

He used his escape technique and instantly arrived at the edge of the Changqing Mountain region, moving far away from it.

During this process,

his strength continued to decline, soon becoming equivalent to only the weakest Pseudo-Nascent Soul cultivator.

“I can’t go too far, or I’ll fall from the Nascent Soul realm, but I’ll still be far beyond the Golden Core realm.”

“It’s a pity I can’t open the ten-thousand-year-old jade box. If I could take out that ‘Crown of Ten Thousand People,’ I could have Nascent Soul strength in any region.”

Li Chang’an was happy, but still dissatisfied with the status quo.

After all,

Nascent Soul opportunities are hard to find.

He would most likely need to go to other regions to find opportunities.

“With my current strength, can I forcefully break open the ten-thousand-year-old jade box?”

Li Chang’an returned to the courtyard of Changqing Mountain, took out the jade box, and examined it carefully.

After a while,

he used his Nascent Soul power to try to forcefully open the jade box.

However, the jade box was too sturdy. No matter what methods he used, even bombarding it with a fourth-order grand formation, he still couldn’t open it.

“Why did the Chu Kingdom back then insist on using this thing to protect the Crown of Ten Thousand People?”

Li Chang’an was somewhat helpless.

He had no other choice for the time being and could only put the jade box away.

“Alright, I’ll find an opportunity to trade with Han Feng Zhenjun, the fake Nascent Soul guest elder of the Vermilion Bird Sect.”

In the Changqing Mountain region, he possessed the strength of a fake Nascent Soul cultivator, enough to trade with Han Feng Zhenjun, exchanging the Cold Crow Stone for the Core Formation Elixir Water, one of the three main ingredients of the Nascent Soul Pill.

The problem was, how to get Han Feng Zhenjun to come to the Changqing Mountain region?

Just as he was thinking this ,

Luo Yunshu suddenly arrived.

“Ancestor, I have some questions about cultivation, can you explain them to me?”

“Hmm, ask away.”

Li Chang’an temporarily suppressed his other thoughts and answered Luo Yunshu’s questions.

As a fake Nascent Soul cultivator, he had a deeper understanding of Golden Core cultivation, a truly insightful perspective, and a few casual words of guidance were enough to enlighten Luo Yunshu.

Luo Yunshu couldn’t help but ask, “Ancestor, I feel like you’re much stronger than before, you haven’t formed your Nascent Soul, have you?”

“I’m only at the early Golden Core stage, how could I form my Nascent Soul so quickly?”

“When you were building your Foundation, you also suddenly formed your Core, and many people thought you were only at the mid-Foundation Building stage.”

“Don’t think too much.”

Li Chang’an shook his head in denial.

If his feigned Nascent Soul strength were exposed, it would undoubtedly attract many covetous eyes.

After all, he was only a little over a hundred years old.

Even a prodigy like True Monarch Zixia took over two hundred years to form his Nascent Soul.

“Where in this world can someone form their Nascent Soul at just over a hundred years old? I’m still worrying about the Nascent Soul treasure.”

“Ancestor, I heard that the Zixia Sect will soon be holding an auction. Perhaps the Nascent Soul treasure you desire will be there.”

“Oh?”

Li Chang’an’s eyes deepened as he looked towards the Zixia Sect.

An auction held by such a powerful Nascent Soul sect should have many good items.

With his relationship with the Zixia Sect, obtaining an invitation wouldn’t be difficult.

As expected.

A few days later,

Zi Xi personally came to Changqing Mountain and delivered five invitations to him.

Besides himself, he could bring four juniors or friends to attend the auction.

In addition,

she also brought a Purple Heart Stone.

“Fellow Daoist Li, this is my previous promise, please accept it.”

Perhaps because of her fourth-order array Dao skills, Zi Xi’s attitude towards Li Chang’an was much better than before.

Li Chang’an did not refuse and accepted the Purple Heart Stone.

“Thank you, Holy Maiden.”

“No need to thank me, you helped me break the array, I should reward you.”

Zi Xi’s voice was gentle, and a beautiful smile could be vaguely seen under her light purple veil.

She told Li Chang’an

that the auction items were not only from the Zixia Sect.

The other seven Nascent Soul forces also provided items.

Some of the items were of fourth-order quality and their value was incalculable, and they might need to be bartered.

Of course, spirit stones should also be prepared.

It would be best to have high-grade spirit stones.   Li Chang’an naturally understood

this .   “Transactions between Nascent Soul True Monarchs are either bartered or priced with high-grade spirit stones.”   Since all eight major Nascent Soul forces are participating in this auction, he naturally needs to prepare plenty of high-grade spirit stones.   After a brief conversation,   Li Chang’an learned that   besides fourth-tier treasures, there were many items whose specific value could not be determined.   Most of the auction items came from secret realms and had ancient restrictions and seals. Unless the restrictions were broken, no one knew what the treasures inside were; they could only be roughly judged based on the intensity of their precious light.   Li Chang’an asked, “Holy Maiden, are there any treasures that can help with Nascent Soul formation in this auction?”   “There are some auxiliary ingredients for Nascent Soul Pills, but no main ingredients, nor any treasures for overcoming tribulations or inner demon tribulations. Fellow Daoist Li, you shouldn’t have too high expectations.”   Zi Xi didn’t hide anything.   As the Holy Maiden of the Zixia Sect, she knew the situation of all the auction items.   Due to sect rules, she couldn’t tell Li Chang’an everything, but revealing some information was fine.   ”Fellow Daoist Li, due to the war between the righteous and demonic forces, all the major Nascent Soul sects are focusing their efforts on cultivating the next generation of Nascent Soul cultivators. In the days to come, there won’t be many good Nascent Soul formation treasures available.”   ”I understand.”   Li Chang’an wasn’t surprised or disappointed, but he felt a bit troubled.   Almost all Nascent Soul formation treasures had been looted by various Nascent Soul sects.   Given the current situation,   if he wanted to gather what he needed for his Nascent Soul formation, he had to find a way to seize treasures from these sects.   ”By the way, Holy Maiden, when do you plan to   form your Nascent Soul?” Li Chang’an asked, glancing at Zi Xi.   Zi Xi had already reached the peak of the Golden Core stage, her energy and spirit were abundant, and the Zixia Sect had prepared Nascent Soul formation treasures for her; it seemed she could form her Nascent Soul at any time.   She frankly replied, “The situation is unstable now, and my accumulation is insufficient. The time for forming my Nascent Soul hasn’t arrived yet. When the day comes, I will definitely invite Fellow Daoist Li to observe.”   ”Very well, I wish the Holy Maiden success in forming her Nascent Soul.”   Not long after,   Zi Xi transformed into a stream of light and departed.   Li Chang’an then began preparing spirit stones for the auction.   He had a premonition that he would likely acquire some good treasures at this auction.   ”I’m afraid I’ll have to compete with Nascent Soul cultivators; I can’t skimp on spirit stones!”   For the next few days,   Li Chang’an traveled throughout the cultivation world of the Three Kingdoms, selling treasures and rare pills.   Alchemy was always incredibly profitable.   A single Purple Spirit Pill could earn Li Chang’an over 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones.   Before long,   he had amassed a massive amount of spirit stones.   Converting all his low-grade and mid-grade spirit stones to high-grade spirit stones, he had a staggering 400,000!   ”These spirit stones should be enough.”   ”If not, I can use fourth-tier treasures at a lower price.”   Looking at the mountain of spirit stones piled up in his storage bag, Li Chang’an was satisfied.   However,   he didn’t intend to make his identity too conspicuous.   For a mere Golden Core cultivator to offer too many spirit stones was tantamount to suicide!   Therefore, he specifically bought dozens of ordinary auction invitations from the black market.   “Using dozens of clones to auction off the treasures shouldn’t attract too much attention. If we need to buy something too valuable, we’ll use Lin Fan’s identity to bid.”   After making all the preparations,   Li Chang’an transformed into a streak of light and headed towards the Central Region.   …   A few days later.   Late at night.   The Zixia Sect was already in sight.   This auction was not held within the Zixia Sect, but outside its mountain gate, in a floating fourth-tier mechanical city.   “This fourth-tier mechanical city is the foundation of the Zixia Sect; it has never appeared before.”   Li Chang’an’s eyes were deep as he carefully observed.   The mechanical city was spherical, ten thousand feet in size, and composed of thousands upon thousands of mechanical parts.   The pressure it released was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.   If it were on the battlefield,   this fourth-tier mechanical city would be enough to directly withstand a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Demonic Path.   “The Zixia Sect’s fourth-tier foundation should not be limited to this one. The appearance of this mechanical city is both to deter the Demonic Path and to encourage the cultivators of the righteous path.”   Just as he was thinking this,   midnight arrived.   A golden light appeared before Li Chang’an’s eyes.   [The divination has been updated]   [Today’s divination: Auspicious]   [You participated in the Zixia Sect auction and bought an unopened crystal bottle. Inside the crystal bottle, you obtained the rare treasure “Melting Spirit Dew,” which is used to break seals.]   ”Melting Spirit Dew?”   Li Chang’an searched his memory and quickly found the description of this treasure.

This treasure was indeed extremely rare.

He hadn’t even heard of it before unifying the Fire Cloud Secret Realm.

Later, in the Fire Cloud Temple’s library, he perused numerous ancient books, one of which described rare treasures and mentioned the Spirit Fusion Dew.

“This item counters all kinds of seals, including the Ten-Thousand-Year Jade Seal!”

Recalling the contents of that ancient book, Li Chang’an’s eyes lit up.

He was currently struggling to open the Ten-Thousand-Year Jade Box.

Unexpectedly,

he encountered a treasure to unseal it so quickly.

“I’ve come to the right place at this auction.”

Li Chang’an composed himself and immediately went to the entrance of the Mechanized City, handing his invitation to the Zixia Sect cultivator who was checking it.

The Zixia Sect cultivator glanced at it briefly and then smiled at him.

“So it’s Fellow Daoist Li. Please come in quickly. The auction will begin in four hours; please wait patiently.”

“Alright.”

Li Chang’an nodded slightly and entered the Mechanized City.

The spiritual energy within the city was dense; even the outer perimeter reached the third rank, and the auction hall at the very core even reached the fourth rank!

“As expected of the Zixia Sect, they are truly wealthy and powerful,”

Li Chang’an thought to himself.

With his current financial resources, he could actually hire someone to cultivate a fourth-tier spiritual vein, but he didn’t plan to do so for the time being.

“If there isn’t a suitable fourth-tier Daoist temple when I form my Nascent Soul in the future, then I’ll hire someone to upgrade the grade of the Changqing Mountain spiritual vein.”

He thought to himself as he entered the auction hall.

The invitation Zi Xi had given him was extremely valuable, allowing him to choose an excellent location, second only to the private rooms of the major Nascent Soul forces.

That was why

the Zixia Sect disciple in charge of checking him smiled at him.

However, his subsequent dozens of clones used ordinary invitations, and the Zixia Sect disciples at the entrance showed no enthusiasm, treating them with indifference.

As time passed, more and more people arrived.

The entire auction gradually became lively.

Nascent Soul True Monarchs from various forces arrived one after another.

“Yellow Sand True Monarch, Vermilion Bird True Monarch, Azure Dragon True Monarch…”

Li Chang’an sensed the auras of many familiar Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

Inside the Vermilion Bird Sect’s private room, besides the Vermilion Bird True Monarch, there was another chilling aura, presumably the Vermilion Bird Sect’s guest elder, Han

Feng True Monarch. As for the Black Tortoise Sect,

a fourth-tier demon lord had arrived.

“The Two-Headed Azure Spirit Turtle, the old demon lord of the Black Tortoise Sect. It is said that he possesses a trace of the Black Tortoise divine beast bloodline, born with two heads, one a turtle’s head and the other a snake’s head,”

Li Chang’an thought to himself.

The Black Tortoise Sect originally had four Nascent Soul level powers:

two Nascent Soul True Monarchs and two fourth-tier demon lords.

After the Black Tortoise True Monarch’s death in battle, the remaining young True Monarch needed to guard the sect, hence the old turtle had come.

“Fellow Daoist Li, why are you sitting down there? There are too many people down there, it’s easy to attract attention. Come quickly to my Black Tortoise Sect’s room,”

Lin Xuanyan suddenly transmitted to Li Chang’an.

Li Chang’an replied telepathically, “Fellow Daoist Lin, if I go to Xuanwu Sect’s room, will that fourth-tier demon lord have any objections?”

“No, the old tortoise is known for his kindness. You can even sit on his back without any problem.”

“Alright, thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin.”

Li Chang’an immediately got up and went to Xuanwu Sect’s room.

Inside the room,

there was only one person and one tortoise.
