Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 386

Chapter 386 The Calamity of Clan Extinction, Fourth-Order Gu Insects (Seeking Subscriptions)

Both the righteous and demonic paths suspected that

Li Chang’an might have obtained some kind of treasure that controlled the altar.

If the Altar of Fortune couldn’t be taken away, how did the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty utilize it back then?

Li Chang’an was quite clear about these people’s thoughts.

He looked around and said calmly, “The Great Jin Immortal Dynasty has Nascent Soul experts. Are you all Nascent Soul experts?”

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other.

Previously,

they had subconsciously ruled out the problem of insufficient strength.

The cultivation world had not seen a Nascent Soul Heavenly Monarch for too long, and as Nascent Soul True Monarchs, they stood at the top of the entire cultivation world and rarely encountered problems that their strength could not solve.

It was precisely because of this that they suspected Li Chang’an.

True Monarch Mingxia nodded and said, “Fellow Daoist Lin is right. The reason why we cannot shake this thing should be because our cultivation is insufficient.”

“You, as Nascent Soul True Monarchs, actually believe this person’s one-sided words?”

True Monarch Wanhun sneered, his fierce eyes staring intently at Li Chang’an.

For some reason.

He felt uneasy the moment he saw Li Chang’an.

If he knew that Li Chang’an also had the identity of “Li Fan,” he would understand why his most valued disciple had died at Li Chang’an’s hands.

“In my opinion, we should capture this person first and then interrogate him!”

“Senior Brother is right!”

Thousand Corpse True Monarch immediately agreed.

No further words were needed.

The other demonic Nascent Soul cultivators

attacked simultaneously. In an instant, seven powerful demonic Nascent Soul auras locked onto Li Chang’an.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, you deal with Thousand Corpse!”

True Monarch Mingxia ordered, then went to meet True Monarch Blood River.

The others also went to their old rivals.

The next moment.

The melee broke out again.

This battle was almost a replica of the previous one.

Although Li Chang’an could suppress Thousand Corpse True Monarch, he had to be wary of the sneak attacks of True Monarch Ten Thousand Souls.

In the blink of an eye, they exchanged over a thousand blows, the Nascent Soul magic power booming and echoing in this underground world, every move concealing killing intent.

Not long after.

Both sides suddenly received a message.

The news came from the locations of the other two altars of destiny.

They learned that the altars at those two locations also could not be moved or refined, and could only remain deep within the earth.

Upon receiving this news, both sides ceased their fighting.

“It seems that this thing truly cannot be moved.”

“Fellow Daoist Lin did not lie to us.”

This unexpected news plunged the entire underground world into an eerie silence.

If the fighting continued, it would be difficult to determine a victor, and might even lead to the premature start of the final battle of the righteous-demonic war.

After a brief standoff,

True Monarch Blood River made his move again.

However,

he was not targeting the righteous cultivators, but rather the altars of destiny.

This time, he used array techniques, attempting to forcibly lift the altars of destiny using the power of a mid-grade fourth-order array in conjunction with his own power.

“Can he succeed?”

The righteous side remained silent.

If True Monarch Blood River could shake the altars of destiny, they would naturally try to stop him.

However, even with the help of the array’s power, the entire Qi Luck Altar remained completely still, without any change.

Blood River True Monarch had no choice but to give up.

Afterwards,

both sides used their own methods.

Once all methods failed, the underground space returned to calm.

“Everyone, I’m afraid we’ve come here in vain today.” “

Huang Sha and the others intend to give up on this item

. What do you all think?” After some discussion,

everyone decided to leave.

Even if they stayed, they couldn’t take the Qi Luck Altar; it would only be a waste of time.

Although Nascent Soul True Monarchs have long lifespans, they shouldn’t waste them on such meaningless matters.

Soon,

the righteous and demonic paths left this underground world one after the other.

Upon returning to the surface, the demonic path members left immediately, disappearing into the horizon.

The righteous path members returned to the Purple Cloud Sect to reunite with the others.

Not long after,

more than twenty righteous Nascent Soul cultivators had returned to the Purple Cloud Sect’s main hall.

Li Chang’an did not participate in the subsequent discussions.

He casually made an excuse and left the Purple Cloud Sect, returning to Changqing Mountain.

In the following days,

Li Chang’an focused on planning the advancement of the Myriad Poison Gu.

“The foundation is sufficient, and the tribulation-crossing treasures are all prepared; only the tribulation-crossing site is lacking.”

He sat cross-legged deep within Changqing Mountain, holding a jade slip, carefully reviewing the information on fourth-tier spirit vein masters within.

Soon, he chose a person.

This person was named “Jia Jun,” a fourth-tier spirit vein master from the Zixia Sect, without Nascent Soul cultivation, only a peak Golden Core cultivator.

“This person’s lifespan has exceeded five hundred years; his time is near. Even with life-extending treasures, he won’t live much longer.”

“The dead are best at keeping secrets.”

“Furthermore, this person highly values his family and descendants; he shouldn’t easily leak information, otherwise his descendants would suffer retribution…”

Li Chang’an decided to choose this person to cultivate a temporary fourth-tier spirit vein for him.

Just then,

Song Yu’er suddenly ran over, bringing him the latest news.

“Senior, the missing Nascent Soul ancestor of the Wang family, ‘Wang Songde,’ has returned to the Wang family, bringing back a large number of treasures.”

“Oh?”

Li Chang’an immediately took the message jade slip from her hand.

According to the message,

Wang Songde disappeared because he was trapped in the treasure vault of an ancient sect.

Now, he has moved the entire treasure vault back to the Wang family, and the treasures within are enough to nurture a large number of outstanding descendants for the Wang family.

“It seems that the Wang family’s fortune should be recovering.”

Li Chang’an mused.

After the massacre of their clan, the Wang family suffered heavy losses.

Although the Wang family patriarch, Wang Yannian, returned to the Nascent Soul realm, his strength was no longer at its peak, and he could only barely maintain the Wang family’s status as a Nascent Soul clan.

Previously, in the struggle for the Divine Altar of Fortune, the other seven Nascent Soul forces all sent people, but the Wang family could not. This

was because Wang Yannian had to stay in the Wang family territory and dared not leave for too long.

“Now, with Wang Songde’s return, the Wang family has turned the tide and passed through the trough. As long as they can nurture another young Nascent Soul, they can bring the Wang family back to its peak.”

“However, who will be the Wang family’s next Nascent Soul? Wang Qianling? Or that spirit body?”

The Wang family’s spirit body has always been mysterious and rarely goes out.

The outside world only knows that that spirit body lost to Wang Qianling, who had an ordinary physique, in the competition among the family’s young disciples.

Many people say…

The Wang family’s spirit bodies are the most useless, mostly unable to obtain resources for Nascent Soul formation.

“The next Nascent Soul cultivator from the Wang family should be Wang Qianling. Let’s calculate her future.”

Li Chang’an calculated with his fingers.

He was just having a sudden thought, a casual calculation, not intending to get a very clear divination.

However,

a moment later, a raging blood-red light appeared before his eyes.

“A death omen!”

Li Chang’an frowned.

Logically speaking,

Wang Qianling’s future should be smooth sailing, so why did the divination show a near-certain death?

Li Chang’an calmed himself, took out a fourth-tier tortoise shell, and performed a second calculation.

This time,

he used all his divination power.

“Still a death omen!”

According to the divination, Wang Qianling was about to face an unavoidable calamity.

But in order to accumulate the foundation for Nascent Soul formation, she had been cultivating in the Wang family’s territory, protected by a fourth-tier grand formation and two Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

Where did this calamity come from?

“Could there be a problem within the Wang family?”

Thinking of this,

Li Chang’an immediately calculated the fate of Wang Qianling’s maid, Wang Xiaoqi.

Soon…

He received a similar divination.

Wang Xiaoqi’s path also foreshadowed a deadly calamity.

Subsequently, Li Chang’an calculated the fates of more than ten members of the Wang family, and the divinations he received were almost identical.

“Every member of the Wang family is a sign of death; the Wang family is about to face a great calamity!”

The result of this deduction truly surprised Li Chang’an.

He had thought that

with Wang Songde’s return, the Wang family should become even more prosperous.

“Could there be something wrong with Wang Songde?”

Li Chang’an’s eyes deepened as he looked towards the Central Region.

“The Wang family is about to erupt into chaos. If I go there, with my Nascent Soul strength, could I take advantage of the chaos and obtain a Heavenly Infant Fruit?”

With this in mind,

he immediately left Changqing Mountain and headed to the Central Region.

Before he even arrived, he heard a deafening roar.

“Boom!”

The location from which the roar came was precisely where the Wang family’s territory was.

Immediately afterward,

Li Chang’an sensed the auras of more than ten demonic Nascent Soul cultivators.

He immediately concealed his figure and aura, slowed his speed, and quietly approached the Wang family’s territory.

Not long after…

A colossal crater appeared before him, a sight to behold.

The Wang family’s territory had vanished completely; the mountains, rivers, pavilions, and towers within it all seemed to have evaporated into thin air.

More than a dozen demonic Nascent Soul cultivators were besieging Wang Yannian, the Wang family patriarch, within the crater.

Around the ancestral lands,

panicked Wang family members could be seen everywhere.

“Where is the Wang family’s treasure vault?”

Li Chang’an surveyed his surroundings but found no trace of it.

It seemed that the treasure vault, along with the entire Wang family estate, had been reduced to dust in that deafening roar.

“Wang Yannian wouldn’t keep such a precious treasure as the Heavenly Infant Fruit in the family vault. Could it be in his own storage bag?”

“No, when he was besieged by the demonic forces last time, he had to abandon his body to escape, unable to take his storage bag, yet the Heavenly Infant Fruit was still in his possession.”

“Could he have a hidden private treasure vault?”

Various thoughts flashed through Li Chang’an’s mind.

If he could rescue Wang Yannian from those demonic Nascent Soul True Monarchs, he might gain their gratitude and exchange it for a Heavenly Infant Fruit.

But Li Chang’an wasn’t confident in his ability to save him and was unwilling to risk his life.

He was, after all, just a nascent soul.

Among the dozen or so demonic cultivators besieging Wang Yannian, there were mid-Nascent Soul cultivators!

Furthermore,

several other demonic Nascent Soul cultivators were hunting down fleeing Wang family members in the surrounding area.

Even another Wang family patriarch, Wang Songde, was slaughtering members of the Wang family indiscriminately.

“No! Ancestor, why are you doing this?”

“Ancestor, have you betrayed the demonic path?”

“Ancestor…”

Countless Wang family members cried out in despair.

Hearing those cries, Wang Songde trembled.

Tears streamed down his face, his expression one of grief, and he roared, “Run! Run! Don’t come near me!”

He seemed unable to control his body; though heartbroken, he continued to slaughter his own descendants, personally turning each of his cherished offspring into a bloody mist. Countless

Wang family members perished tragically, staining the entire sky crimson.

For the Wang family,

this was a true annihilation!

The other righteous Nascent Soul cultivators were too late to arrive, and it seemed there was no hope of recovery.

At this moment,

an unfamiliar Nascent Soul aura suddenly appeared not far away.

“Huh, the Wang family still has Nascent Soul cultivators?”

Li Chang’an, who was originally searching for the treasure vault, was attracted by this unfamiliar aura.

He turned his head and

saw a female cultivator clad in golden armor soaring into the sky.

Her beauty was unparalleled, her skin as white as jade, her entire body radiant with light, every strand of her hair glowing, like a celestial maiden descended to earth.

“Boom!”

A demonic nascent soul was sent flying by her attack, crashing heavily into a forest tens of thousands of feet away.

This sudden turn of events

surprised not only Li Chang’an but also many other demonic Nascent Soul cultivators.

“This person is strange; she shouldn’t be a true Nascent Soul.”

“Avoid her, kill all the Wang family members here first!”

Several demonic Nascent Soul cultivators separated, avoiding battle with this woman.

The woman flashed, creating several identical clones of herself, each possessing Nascent Soul strength, to block the demonic Nascent Soul cultivators.

During this process, the light emanating from her grew increasingly dazzling.

Then,

with a wave of her jade hand,

countless Wang family members were thrown into the air,

including Wang Qianling.

She was covered in blood, her armor shattered, severely injured, and had exhausted her fourth-tier trump cards. She was supposed to die at the hands of a demonic Nascent Soul cultivator, but that woman saved her life.

“Qingmeng!”

Wang Qianling’s beautiful eyes filled with tears as she looked at the woman, her gaze filled with sorrow.

She seemed to want to rush back, but she was extremely weak. After taking only a few steps, she coughed up blood and collapsed forward.

At this moment,

Li Chang’an appeared and supported her.

“Fellow Daoist Wang, if you go back, I’m afraid you will die.”

“Fellow Daoist Li?”

Wang Qianling’s eyes were glazed, her voice weak.

“How did you get here?”

“I was out training, just passing by.”

Li Chang’an used his magic power to examine her from head to toe.

Wang Qianling’s injuries were extremely severe, and her magic power was almost exhausted. If she didn’t receive timely treatment, it would likely affect her potential.

He immediately took out several pills, dissolved their medicinal power, and infused them into Wang Qianling’s body.

In just a moment,

Wang Qianling’s condition stabilized.

Li Chang’an grabbed her and used his escape technique to quickly leave the area.

On the way,

he asked, “Fellow Daoist Wang, who is that woman, and why does she also possess Nascent Soul strength?”

Wang Qianling’s face was filled with sorrow, tears welling in her eyes as she looked at the woman in the distance who was blocking the demonic Nascent Soul cultivator.

“She is the spirit body of my Wang family, Wang Qingmeng,”

she explained in a hoarse voice.

Wang Qingmeng’s spirit body was extremely rare; even among the ancient texts of the major Nascent Soul factions, only one case was recorded.

A Time-Space Spirit Body!

Ancient texts recorded that once this spirit body was initially awakened, it could manipulate time and years.

According to ancient speculation, the possessor of such a spirit body, if fully awakened, might possess the power to reverse the flow of time.

The Time-Space Spirit Body in the ancient texts had not reached that stage of full awakening.

It could only alter itself or an outsider.

When facing an enemy,

it could use its spirit body talent to instantly age the enemy or turn them into an infant.

However,

this Time-Space Spirit Body of the Wang family was only barely awakened and didn’t even have the ability to alter its enemies.

To this day, she has only awakened one talent—Fleeting Beauty!

This talent can only be used once in a lifetime.

Once used,

hundreds of years of lifespan will be consumed in an instant,

granting her strength far exceeding her own realm.

The dazzling light emanating from her is actually the flame of her burning life.

“So that’s how it is.”

Li Chang’an suddenly realized, turning back to look.

Wang Qingmeng had reached the end of her life, sacrificing herself to block the demonic Nascent Soul, her flame of life illuminating the entire world.

Outsiders all said she was the most useless spirit.

No one had imagined

that her final battle would be so brilliant.

Finally,

the magnificent flames gradually faded.

This rare Time Spirit dissipated into nothingness.

A sigh filled with regret and reluctance rang in Li Chang’an and Wang Qianling’s ears.

“Qianling, you must form your Nascent Soul.”

“Qingmeng…”

Wang Qianling’s beautiful eyes reddened, tears streaming down her face.

Li Chang’an sighed inwardly.

A Time Spirit, so rare, it was feared that not another one would appear for ten thousand years.

She died in this calamity before she could even grow. After

Wang Qingmeng’s death,

the several demonic Nascent Soul cultivators she had blocked separated and continued to pursue the fleeing Wang family members.

Among them, Wang Songde was chasing after Wang Qianling.

“This Wang Songde is strange. He clearly has self-awareness, but his body is out of control, somewhat like a bloodline.”

Li Chang’an put Wang Qianling into his storage bag.

He changed his identity and aura, and took out the Stone Eye to examine Wang Songde’s body.

However, the Stone Eye didn’t detect anything unusual,

indicating that Wang Songde hadn’t been refined into a blood seed.

At this moment,

the Myriad Poison Gu suddenly spoke.

“Master, I sensed a stronger Gu worm inside Wang Songde’s body. I think he’s most likely controlled by it.”

“Gu worm?”

Li Chang’an pondered.

Seeing Wang Songde getting closer

, he didn’t flee, but instead took out the “Chaotic Gu Powder” he had obtained near the Qi Luck Altar.

“It’s said this is effective against fourth-tier Gu worms.”

“If it’s useless, it doesn’t matter. At worst, I’ll just avoid Wang Songde and get away from this place.”

Li Chang’an took out some of the Chaotic Gu Powder powder and used his magic to scatter it forward.

The next instant,

a hazy gray mist appeared.

Wang Songde, brimming with murderous intent, neither dodged nor avoided, and crashed right into the mist.

His body froze, and pain and struggle appeared on his face.

“No…”

His features contorted, his eyes bloodshot, he suddenly tore open his abdomen, reaching into his dantian and pulling out a jet-black Gu worm.

That Gu worm, which had previously clung to his nascent soul and seemed to control Wang Songde’s actions, was

now

affected by the Chaotic Gu Powder, confused and delirious.

“Die!”

Wang Songde squeezed hard, and the Gu worm exploded instantly.

Then,

he slammed his palm against himself, half his body instantly bursting apart.

Li Chang’an discovered that countless dense spiritual patterns were etched into his flesh and bones.

“A flesh puppet?”

“Indeed, a flesh puppet.”

Wang Songde sighed deeply.

He had temporarily regained consciousness and was no longer under control.

But he sighed, “My body has been refined into a puppet by the demonic path, and my nascent soul is also subject to many restrictions, allowing me to maintain consciousness only for a short time.”

“Fellow Daoist Wang, what is that Gu worm?”

“It’s a Nascent Soul Control Gu.”

As he spoke, Wang Songde looked back at the Wang family’s territory, his eyes filled with sorrow at the sight of the mangled corpses of his family members.

He turned to Li Chang’an and explained, “This Gu is a fourth-tier Gu worm, refined by a Nascent Soul elder from the demonic sect ‘Blissful Heaven Sect.’ If you encounter cultivators from the Blissful Heaven Sect in the future, you must be extremely cautious.”

Li Chang’an asked him, “Fellow Daoist, why were you controlled?”

“I don’t know either.”
