Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 389

Chapter 389 The Inner Demon’s Flaw, the Three Treasures Gather (Seeking Subscriptions)

“Thankfully, nothing unexpected happened.”

Li Chang’an smiled, completely relieved.

He moved swiftly,

entering the depths of Changqing Divine Mountain.

The Primal Spirit Flower had fully bloomed, though the fifth petal was somewhat grayish, while the other four remained as white as jade.

According to ancient records,

once the fifth petal withered, the flower would return to its state of almost blooming.

“It can still be used four more times, that’s enough.”

Li Chang’an returned outside, dismantling the numerous arrays he had previously set up.

During this time,

many Divine Emperors showed expressions of excitement.

Before this, no one in the entire Fire Cloud Secret Realm had ever successfully transcended tribulation.

Even a peerless genius like the father of the Danyang Divine Emperor had fallen sadly under the rolling heavenly lightning due to the obstruction of the Fire Cloud Divine Palace.

But today,

they seemed to be witnessing the birth of a myth, personally experiencing an advancement that could be described as a miracle.

The Boundless God Emperor pleaded, “God Lord, could that senior share his breakthrough insights with us?”

“That depends on his own wishes,”

Li Chang’an replied with a smile, flashing into the secluded cultivation place of the Myriad Poison Gu.

This area

had been riddled with holes by heavenly lightning.

Only the spot where the Myriad Poison Gu lay remained relatively intact.

Beside him, the remains of the Insect Lord were no longer as they had been, shattered into pieces.

The Myriad Poison Gu excitedly said, “Master, the heavenly lightning tribulation posed no threat to me whatsoever. The first eight bolts of lightning didn’t even damage the Insect Lord’s remains; it was only the final ninth bolt that split it open.”

Hearing this, Li Chang’an picked up the Insect Lord’s remains and examined them.

They were useless now, unable to withstand the heavenly tribulation.

However,

Li Chang’an had heard that

the Insect Lord’s remains had medicinal value, usable in many fourth-tier prescriptions, so their value wasn’t entirely zero.

“I’ll keep them for now; perhaps I can sell them to a fourth-tier spiritual healer later,”

he said casually, swiping the Insect Lord’s remains into his storage bag.

Afterward, he inquired about the Heart Demon Tribulation.

“What is your inner demon tribulation?”

“Master, it’s related to immortality…”

the Myriad Poison Gu slowly recounted.

Just as Li Chang’an had guessed.

This worm had followed him for a long time, its personality nearly identical to his; both feared death and yearned for the path to immortality.

In the inner demon illusion, although he successfully advanced to the fourth rank, he didn’t live long.

Only because the demonic path attacked!

In the illusion,

the war between righteous and demonic forces ended in defeat for the righteous path.

Major righteous forces were successively destroyed, and many righteous Nascent Soul cultivators perished.

Li Chang’an was besieged by more than ten Nascent Soul elders of the demonic path and was ultimately killed by the Heavenly Netherworld True Monarch.

The Myriad Poison Gu was captured by the Demonic True Monarch and fed to a near-fourth-rank Gu worm, becoming the foundation for that near-fourth-rank Gu worm’s advancement to the fourth rank.

If he hadn’t broken through the illusion in time, he would most likely have truly died in the inner demon tribulation.

Fortunately,

with the help of the Heart-Questioning Insect Pill,

he didn’t sink too deeply and realized something was wrong the moment Li Chang’an was besieged.

“Master, you always seem to foresee good and bad fortune, turning misfortune into good. How could you possibly be blocked by more than ten Nascent Soul demons? You would have escaped long before those Nascent Soul demons even made their move!”

This was why

he realized he hadn’t successfully advanced and was still grappling with inner demon tribulations.

The Myriad Poison Gu proudly declared, “With your abilities, even a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord couldn’t kill you. A mere dozen or so Nascent Soul demons couldn’t possibly bring you to your demise!”

“That’s too much to say. Be humble,”

Li Chang’an smiled.

Right now, he couldn’t even defeat a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, let alone a Nascent Soul cultivator.

His only advantage was that his exact location couldn’t be predicted.

If targeted by a Nascent Soul cultivator, he could escape beforehand.

In the following days,

the Myriad Poison Gu didn’t immediately emerge from seclusion but remained in his closed-door cultivation to consolidate his fourth-tier cultivation.

Seven days later, his realm was completely stable.

At this time

, there were still three days left until Li Chang’an’s one-month agreement with Ye Qiuling.

Li Chang’an used magic to conceal the Myriad Poison Gu’s true form, making it blurry and indistinct, and summoned numerous God Emperors.

“Come here, everyone, and listen to his breakthrough insights.”

“Thank you, Divine Lord!”

Everyone was excited and sat down in front of Wan Du Gu.

Due to Li Chang’an’s magic

, Wan Du Gu was not a worm in their eyes, but a powerful black shadow.

After that,

Wan Du Gu slowly recounted his breakthrough insights.

Although he was a worm, his breakthrough process was similar to that of human cultivators, and many of his insights could be used as a reference.

Li Chang’an and the two spirit beasts listened very carefully.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Late that night,

Wan Du Gu finished his recounting.

Everyone sat cross-legged on the spot, motionless, digesting their gains.

Li Chang’an then took Wan Du Gu and left, returning to Changqing Mountain to wait for the divination to appear.

Soon,

midnight arrived .

A golden light appeared before his eyes.

[The divination has been updated]

[Today’s Divination – Auspicious]

[You accepted Ye Qiuling’s invitation to travel to the ancient ruins and secret realm. On the way, you were ambushed by Ye Qiuling and Teng Ying, but easily counterattacked and killed them both, obtaining the fourth-tier treasure “Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade.”]

Upon seeing the divination results, Li Chang’an breathed a sigh of relief. “

Easily counterattacked.”

These four words were enough to explain everything.

“With the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade, I can refine the final treasure of the Three Treasures for Exterminating Infants.”

“Once the three treasures are gathered, we can find an opportunity to kill True Monarch Thousand Corpses and exchange his head for the Heavenly Infant Fruit.”

Of the dozen or so True Monarchs Wang Yannian gave, True Monarch Thousand Corpses was the weakest.

Li Chang’an had fought him many times and was familiar with his methods.

Killing him wasn’t difficult!

The difficulty lay in finding a suitable opportunity.

During the previous struggle for the Divine Altar of Fortune, True Monarch Ten Thousand Souls had always protected True Monarch Thousand Corpses.

“I need to create an opportunity for True Monarch Thousand Corpses to be alone. If that doesn’t work, I’ll choose one of the other Demonic Path False Infants. I don’t necessarily have to kill him.”

Li Chang’an pondered to himself, planning in his mind.

Several hours passed in a flash.

The sky was just beginning to brighten.

A familiar figure pierced the sky, entered the Changqing Mountain Grand Formation, and landed in the courtyard.

It was Liang Chang, who was being controlled by Ye Qiuling!

He smiled and asked with concern, “Fellow Daoist Li, the appointed time for our meeting has arrived. Has your injury improved?”

“Haha, thanks to Fellow Daoist Liang, I have basically recovered.”

Li Chang’an smiled broadly and walked out of the cave.

“Fellow Daoist Liang, that spirit herb garden hasn’t been discovered by outsiders, has it?”

“Of course not!”

“Good, then please lead the way, Fellow Daoist Liang.”

Hearing this, Ye Qiuling breathed a sigh of relief.

She had previously worried that Li Chang’an’s injuries hadn’t healed and might take several more months.

Now it seemed everything was going smoothly!

“Fellow Daoist Li, please follow me.”

“Alright!”

And so,

the two transformed into two streaks of light, leaving Changqing Mountain one after the other, heading straight for the ancient ruins.

Of course, the so-called spirit herb garden was just an excuse.

Just as the divination had indicated.

Once Li Chang’an was far from Changqing Mountain, Ye Qiuling and Teng Ying revealed their true colors.

Liang Chang suddenly stopped and smiled, “Fellow Daoist Li, let’s rest here for a moment. I’d like to introduce you to two fellow Daoists.” As

soon as he finished speaking,

two figures appeared before Li Chang’an.

Almost simultaneously, the Myriad Poison Gu warned Li Chang’an, “Master, you have been poisoned by a fourth-tier spiritual poison. This kind of poison can make you completely paralyzed and at the mercy of others.”

An ordinary Golden Core cultivator would have collapsed by now.

But Li Chang’an remained unharmed.

With the Myriad Poison Gu present, he naturally couldn’t be poisoned.

His eyes remained calm as he scanned Teng Ying’s body before settling on Ye Qiuling.

This was the first time he had truly seen this first Holy Maiden of the Demonic Path.

She was slender, with exquisite features and an outstanding temperament. Her eyes were dark green, and she exuded a dangerous aura.

“Eh?”

She was somewhat surprised to see that Li Chang’an hadn’t fallen.

“Li Chang’an, it seems you possess a special antidote treasure. You truly are a person of great fortune, but it doesn’t matter.”

The difference in strength between the two was particularly vast.

Even without the fourth-tier spiritual poison, she could still defeat Li Chang’an.

Beside her,

Teng Ying’s eyes were cold as she carefully examined Li Chang’an.

He coldly questioned, “Li Chang’an, why was Zi Xi able to break through the fourth-order grand formation beneath the Northern Ice Plains back then? Was it because of your guidance?”

Li Chang’an didn’t reply, but instead spread his divine sense, scanning the surrounding world. He

finally confirmed

that there were only these two people, and no outsiders were spying.

But he still asked, “Only two people made a move today? Were there any other demonic holy sons and daughters, or demonic Nascent Soul cultivators?”

“What, do you think the two of us aren’t enough?”

Teng Ying sneered, summoning his magic weapon.

His aura was imposing, and the aura of a peak Golden Core cultivator was released without reservation.

“Li Chang’an, why pretend to be calm? Even if it’s just me alone, I can still…”

Boom!

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly exploded.

Without any warning, he turned into a cloud of blood mist.

“Soul, come!”

Li Chang’an raised his hand and summoned.

Teng Ying’s soul immediately appeared at the place where he had fallen.

He was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

“What happened? I… I’m dead?”

He couldn’t accept it.

As the dignified Holy Son of the Yellow Springs Sect, he was actually killed instantly by Li Chang’an, an unknown rogue cultivator!

Upon seeing the Soul-Supporting Banner, he trembled, instantly understanding everything.

“You are not Li Chang’an, you are Li Fan! The Li Fan who killed Wu Ze!”

“No, he’s not just Li Fan.”

Ye Qiuling’s expression was solemn, her pupils flashing with a dark light, as if she could see through everything.

Only a Nascent Soul expert could instantly kill a Holy Son like Teng Ying.

In other words ,

Li Chang’an had another identity.

But there was no time to think about it now, because Li Chang’an had already attacked her.

“Boom!”

A terrifying Nascent Soul power struck, which no Golden Core cultivator could withstand, but Ye Qiuling managed to block it.

Her long hair flew wildly, her aura was astonishing, and her magic power surged, showing that she also possessed the strength of a Pseudo-Nascent Soul!

Of course,

this strength was not something she possessed herself.

Li Chang’an’s guess was correct; there was a fourth-order poisonous insect on her body.

Fusing with the poisonous insect allowed her to temporarily possess the strength of a Pseudo-Nascent Soul, preventing her from being killed by a righteous Nascent Soul cultivator.

“He barely crossed the threshold of a Pseudo-Nascent Soul, probably not even as good as a Thousand Corpses.”

Li Chang’an’s expression was cold, and spiritual light flashed around him as a sword formation was formed almost instantly.

“Go!”

The entire sword formation instantly transformed into azure-gold sword light, traversing the sky and attacking Ye Qiuling.

Ye Qiuling’s expression changed slightly.

This perfectly integrated sword formation was enough to make even a veteran early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator take it seriously.

She, barely past the threshold of the False Nascent Soul stage, how could she possibly withstand it?

In terms of combat strength, she was far inferior to Li Chang’an!

She couldn’t help but regret her earlier overconfidence and underestimation of Li Chang’an’s abilities; she shouldn’t have allowed his true form to appear so easily.

Of course ,

her confidence wasn’t unfounded.

Even the top holy sons and daughters of the major sects were no match for her, let alone ordinary rogue cultivators.

No one could have imagined that Li Chang’an had hidden so deeply.

“He actually hid a whole realm!”

Ye Qiuling gritted her teeth, unleashing a large number of fourth-tier trump cards, combined with her own False Nascent Soul power, barely managing to block the sword formation.

However, in an instant, several sword formations were already upon her.

She used a teleportation technique to try and avoid these sword formations.

But the omnipresent power of fourth-tier divination made it impossible for her to escape!

Rumble…

Brilliant sword light erupted between heaven and earth, its destructive power sweeping in all directions.

Her face grew increasingly pale as

she struggled to block the attacks. Before she could even catch her breath,

more than ten sword formations flew towards her!

“Go! Go! Go!”

Li Chang’an showed no mercy, disregarding his own exhaustion, unleashing one sword formation after another.

He dealt with Ye Qiuling just as Jiang Xuanyuan had dealt with Prince Huai years ago, suppressing her relentlessly and giving her almost no chance to retaliate.

In less than a quarter of an hour,

Ye Qiuling’s magical power and trump cards were completely exhausted.

With a deafening “boom,” this rare prodigy of poison could no longer resist, turning into a shower of poisonous blood amidst the countless sword formations.

“Burn!”

Li Chang’an immediately used fire magic to incinerate all the poisonous blood.

Suddenly, a hoarse scream rang out.

A fourth-tier poisonous insect, the size of a thumb, flew out from the poisonous blood, attempting to escape.

But how could Li Chang’an let it go?

“The Myriad Poison Gu has just advanced to the fourth rank, its foundation is still shallow, this worm is just right to replenish it.”

With a thought, he transformed his Nascent Soul power into a large hand, firmly grasping the fourth-rank poison worm.

However,

he did not feed it directly to the Myriad Poison Gu, intending to interrogate it first.

This rank of poison worm held a status close to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator within the Five Poison Valley, enough to know many secrets.

Li Chang’an sealed it, threw it into his spirit beast pouch, and turned to look at Liang Chang.

He was already lifeless.

He had died the moment he was refined into a puppet clone.

Due to Ye Qiuling’s scheme against Li Chang’an, he could not spend the last few years of his life peacefully.

“Fellow Daoist Liang, may you rest in peace!”

Li Chang’an unleashed a burst of flames, burning Liang Chang’s corpse to ashes.

Afterwards, he threw the souls of Ye Qiuling and Teng Ying into the Soul-Nourishing Banner, erasing all traces of battle and aura.

Having done all this,

Li Chang’an left this place and returned to Changqing Mountain.

Just as the divination indicated, this battle was very easy.

Although Ye Qiuling possessed the strength of a pseudo-infant, she posed no threat to him.

He entered the cave, opened Ye Qiuling’s storage bag, and searched carefully before quickly finding his purpose.

“Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade!”

This treasure was pure white, emanating a faint chill; only extremely cold places could nurture such a treasure.

Besides this cold jade,

Ye Qiuling’s storage bag also contained many high-level poison treasures.

Li Chang’an couldn’t use these; they could only be fed to the Myriad Poison Gu.

Only a few treasures were useful to Li Chang’an,

such as the Thousand-Year Fruit.

He took it out and swallowed it in one gulp.

When he first consumed this fruit, his lifespan increased by eighty years, twice that of an ordinary cultivator.

Now, the effect had diminished, increasing it by only fifty years.

“Not bad, my total lifespan has reached exactly 1,900 years, closer to 2,000!”

Li Chang’an smiled, quite satisfied.

A moment later,

he opened Teng Ying’s storage bag.

The treasures inside, while not as impressive as those in Ye Qiuling’s storage bag, were still quite remarkable, befitting her status as a Holy Son.

After inventorying all the treasures,

Li Chang’an entered the weapon-refining room deep within Changqing Mountain and sat cross-legged before the forging furnace.

With a thought, dozens of treasures flew out of his storage bag, all of which were needed to refine the Infant-Binding Bottle, rising and falling around him.

“Boom!”

Flames erupted, turning the entire weapon-refining room a fiery red.

Li Chang’an focused intently, casting each treasure into the forging furnace, meticulously refining the final of the Three Treasures for Annihilating Infants.

Several hours passed in the blink of an eye.

…

Meanwhile,

news of Ye Qiuling’s demise was spreading rapidly between the righteous and demonic paths.

Her performance in this war between the righteous and demonic factions was extremely outstanding; she was almost considered the number one person below the Nascent Soul stage, having killed countless geniuses and prodigies.

In many people’s eyes, she was destined to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

However,

today, her soul lamp went out.

“Ye Qiuling actually perished?”

Upon hearing this news,

Zi Xi, Mu Hongyu, and the others found it unbelievable.

They had all fought against Ye Qiuling and knew how troublesome she was.

“Who killed her?”

“It should be a certain Nascent Soul senior.”

The righteous path unanimously believed that a Nascent Soul True Monarch had made the move, since it was almost impossible for a Golden Core cultivator to kill Ye Qiuling.

The demonic path thought the same.

“Qiu Ling is protected by fourth-tier poisonous insects; those holy sons and daughters of the righteous path couldn’t kill her. Which righteous Nascent Soul cultivator is so shameless as to attack a Golden Core cultivator?”

True Monarch Qingxie roared in fury, vowing to kill the culprit.

However,

neither the fourth-tier divination master of the Five Poisons Valley nor the masters of the other four major demonic sects could deduce the killer’s information.

He had no choice but to go to the battlefield between the righteous and demonic paths, instigate a Nascent Soul battle, and question the many righteous Nascent Soul cultivators.

“You call yourselves the righteous path, why do you bully the weak and deal with a junior?”

“Qingxie, that Ye Qiu Ling has fourth-tier poisonous insects, what junior is she? She’s already one of our peers!”

True Monarch Baihu sneered. True Monarch Qingxie’s

fierce eyes immediately turned to him.

“Baihu, is that you?”

“I didn’t make a move!”

True Monarch Baihu coldly replied.

“So what if it is me? Just kill me, why all this nonsense!”

“Fine! Fine! Fine!”

True Monarch Qingxie was furious and immediately launched into a fierce attack.

This fight lasted for several hours.

…

At this moment.

Deep within Changqing Mountain.

The forging fire gradually died down.

“Come!”

Li Chang’an raised his hand and summoned a treasure bottle exuding icy energy, which flew out of the forging furnace and landed in his hand.

This item was the Nascent Soul Bottle!

Thus,

the three treasures for destroying Nascent Souls had all been refined by Li Chang’an.

In the current cultivation world, there are very few treasures for dealing with Nascent Souls. There are no records of these three treasures, nor are there any finished products of them passed down.

It was precisely because of this that

the Nascent Soul of the Wang family patriarch was able to escape twice in succession.

“If those demonic True Monarchs had these three treasures, I’m afraid Wang Yannian would have been defeated long ago.”

Li Chang’an pondered to himself

. Just then

, a communication jade pendant in his storage bag suddenly heated up.

Li Chang’an took out the jade pendant and probed it with his divine sense. He quickly heard the voice of True Monarch Zixia.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, the Holy Maiden of Five Poisons Valley, Ye Qiuling, perished today…”

True Monarch Zixia recounted the events of the past half-day to him,

including the great battle between the righteous and demonic forces.

Learning that True Monarch Baihu had taken the blame for True Monarch Qingxie, Li Chang’an was somewhat surprised.

“Why did True Monarch Baihu step forward?”

Li Chang’an pondered.

Previously, during the struggle for the Divine Altar of Fortune, True Monarch Baihu had been constantly suppressed by True Monarch Wanhun, likely harboring considerable resentment and eager for a major confrontation.

Regardless, this matter had nothing to do with him.

True Monarch Zixia’s sudden contact was merely to ask, “Fellow Daoist Lin, did Ye Qiuling die at your hands?”

Li Chang’an immediately denied it.

“Fellow Daoist Zixia, this matter has nothing to do with me.”

“Really nothing to do with you?”

“Yes, I, Lin Fan, have always been honest and never lie.”
