Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 407
Chapter 407 Suppressing Liu Xuanfeng, the Ancient Golden Divine Tree (Seeking Subscriptions)
Xun Yuanjia wasn’t afraid of Li Chang’an.
What he worried about were the Nascent Soul True Monarchs behind Li Chang’an.
If it were any other cultivator, being suspected of being a demonic spy by a Nascent Soul cultivator would be disastrous, even if they survived.
But Li Chang’an was unharmed.
This was enough to demonstrate the strength of his connections.
“Fellow Daoist Liu, can you swear an oath of Dao heart?”
“Of course.”
Liu Xuanfeng immediately swore an oath, promising not to tell anyone about this matter.
Meanwhile.
Deep within the cave of Changqing Mountain.
Countless treasures floated around Li Chang’an, his mysterious aura growing increasingly intense, as if he no longer belonged to this world.
Thousands upon thousands of mysterious powers overflowed from his body, scattering into the vast sky, crisscrossing above Xun Yuanjia, weaving an invisible net.
This was a special ability that Li Chang’an had cultivated after becoming a mid-grade fourth-tier divination master.
Covering the Heavens!
He was going to cover Xun Yuanjia’s heavens!
Once successful, Xun Yuanjia would no longer be able to deduce the true secrets of heaven, and would only see everything Li Chang’an had woven for him.
In an instant, the entire all-encompassing net was fully formed.
Almost simultaneously,
Xun Yuanjia sensed something, looked up at the sky, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
“Strange.”
“Master Xun, what’s wrong?”
Liu Xuanfeng asked, feigning concern.
Xun Yuanjia frowned and said, “For some reason, I suddenly feel uneasy. I’m afraid someone is targeting me in secret.”
“Could it be Li Chang’an?”
“No, Li Chang’an can’t see through my methods unless he’s a fourth-level divination master.”
Xun Yuanjia shook his head slightly, not believing it was Li Chang’an.
He knew Li Chang’an valued his life.
Divination easily shortens one’s lifespan.
To cultivate to the fourth level, one would have to sacrifice countless years of lifespan.
“Let me cast a divination.”
Xun Yuanjia closed his eyes slightly, remaining motionless.
A moment later,
a mysterious aura emanated from him.
Liu Xuanfeng sat beside him, not disturbing him, quietly awaiting the result.
Not long after, Xun Yuanjia opened his eyes.
He smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
“So that’s how it is. No wonder I sensed something.”
“Master Xun, do you need my help?”
“No need. It’s just a small matter, not too troublesome. I can handle it myself,”
Xun Yuanjia replied.
The reason he was uneasy was because several Golden Core cultivators were secretly plotting against him.
“Those people had a feud with my master. My master was magnanimous and let them go, but they hold a grudge and resent all the disciples of my master’s lineage.”
With Xun Yuanjia’s current status, dealing with a few ordinary Golden Core cultivators wouldn’t be difficult.
Liu Xuanfeng kindly reminded him, “Master Xun, since those people can make you uneasy, it means they have some skills. They shouldn’t be underestimated.”
“Don’t worry, if I didn’t know beforehand, I might have fallen into their trap, but I know everything now,”
Xun Yuanjia said confidently.
He told Liu Xuanfeng that he had just cast a divination for himself, and the result was auspicious.
In other words,
his path ahead was smooth and without any danger.
Hearing this, Liu Xuanfeng couldn’t help but feel envious.
Diviners can foresee good and bad fortune.
This is an ability that countless cultivators yearn for.
However, this skill is too difficult to learn; many people study their entire lives without ever mastering it.
Liu Xuanfeng asked again, “Master Xun, will there be any changes to the matter between Song Yu’er and Li Chang’an?”
“No, everything is under control.”
To reassure Liu Xuanfeng,
Xun Yuanjia immediately cast another divination for him, and the result was almost identical to the previous one.
“That’s good.”
Liu Xuanfeng felt relieved.
He smiled and said, “Master Xun, if we can successfully kill Li Chang’an this time, I will definitely reward you handsomely!”
“Then I await Fellow Daoist Liu’s good news.”
Xun Yuanjia responded with a smile.
Both of them thought that the matter was foolproof.
Little did they know that
all the divinations Xun Yuanjia had previously performed were illusions woven by Li Chang’an for him.
In this silent battle of wits from afar, Li Chang’an had won!
…
Changqing Mountain, deep within the cave.
The silver light in Li Chang’an’s eyes slowly dissipated, and the dozens of treasures floating around him slowly fell.
His aura suddenly plummeted, and his face paled.
This wasn’t due to a backlash,
but rather because he had expended too much energy .
Targeting a fourth-tier divination master without being detected was no easy feat.
“Fortunately, it’s not a big problem.”
Li Chang’an took out several pills and a fourth-tier spiritual herb, swallowing them together.
The medicinal power spread, and his aura slowly recovered.
He looked at the tortoise shell before him.
“Fortunately, I obtained this item.”
His victory was due to several factors.
Li Chang’an’s divination skills and the treasures he used were superior to Xun Yuanjia’s.
Furthermore, he was experienced, having immersed himself in fourth-tier divination for many years, and possessed the insights of many senior members of the Heavenly Mystery Sect within the Heavenly Mystery Inheritance.
Xun Yuanjia, on the other hand, had only broken through a few years ago, his methods were rudimentary, and his experience was still shallow.
“This person is troublesome. Deal with Liu Xuanfeng first, then take care of him.”
Li Chang’an casually waved his hand, putting away his numerous divination treasures, and began preparing for his journey to the secret realm two days later.
…
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
That morning, the sun rose high.
Li Chang’an, accompanied by his two juniors, Song Xianglan and Song Yu’er, left Changqing Mountain for the Myriad Valleys Secret Realm.
Song Xianglan felt somewhat helpless about Li Chang’an’s arrival.
“Senior Li, Yu’er and I are fine. Even a Golden Core cultivator couldn’t harm us. You don’t need to protect us personally.”
“I’m just feeling restless and wanted to go out for a walk,”
Li Chang’an replied with a gentle smile.
Hearing this, Song Xianglan had no other choice but to remain silent.
She naturally only wanted to be with Song Yu’er.
The sudden addition of Li Chang’an, an elder, felt strange and somewhat uncomfortable.
It was like when she was a child, going out to play with her friends, and the adults in her family always followed behind.
Several days later,
they arrived at the entrance to the Myriad Valleys Secret Realm.
It was already late at night, and Li Chang’an told them to rest for the night and enter the next day.
Soon, midnight arrived.
A golden light appeared before Li Chang’an’s eyes.
[The divination has been updated]
[Today’s divination: Auspicious]
[You entered the Myriad Valleys Secret Realm, successfully captured Liu Xuanfeng, and unexpectedly discovered the Demon Soul Jade during subsequent exploration of the secret realm.]
“Huh? What an unexpected surprise.”
Li Chang’an’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the three words “Demon Soul Jade” in the divination.
This was the last material he needed to refine the Beast Taming Wheel.
He hadn’t found it before.
Originally, he planned to use another material instead.
“Since there’s Demon Soul Jade in this secret realm, there’s no need to bother.”
“After this trip, I’ll go back to find the Artifact Spirit Senior and have him guide me in refining the Beast Taming Wheel.”
Li Chang’an checked all the materials he had.
He had thirty-four Demon Sealing Stones, and the rest of the materials were either relatively easy to find or could be substituted.
“I have thirty-four chances; I can’t possibly fail every time!”
Li Chang’an felt that he would fail at most once or twice.
Just then…
Song Xianglan came to his side and whispered, “Senior, Yu’er and I are both in good condition and don’t need to rest. Shall we go in now?”
“Okay,”
Li Chang’an immediately agreed.
Soon,
the three of them entered the secret realm together.
Looking around, the earth was filled with narrow, long rift valleys.
Thousands upon thousands, countless, like countless cracked wounds.
In every rift valley within sight, many cultivators were searching for treasures.
As a new secret realm, the Myriad Valleys Secret Realm saw cultivators entering almost every moment.
“Liu Xuanfeng.”
Li Chang’an instantly sensed Liu Xuanfeng’s aura.
This person was hiding in a valley, concealing all his aura, motionless, observing the entrance to the secret realm.
His eyes were full of joy; he had already seen Li Chang’an and the other two.
“Master Xun’s prediction was indeed correct; Li Chang’an came along. There’s no need to use Song Yu’er to lure him out.”
“However, the entrance to the secret realm is crowded and not a good place to make a move. We’ll wait until they’ve gone deeper into the secret realm before finding an opportunity to capture them.”
Liu Xuanfeng pondered to himself.
Just then,
a large hand reached out from behind and patted his shoulder.
“Who?”
Liu Xuanfeng was startled and turned around, immediately seeing a familiar face.
“Li Chang’an! You… how could you…”
The person behind him was indeed Li Chang’an.
He couldn’t understand it at all.
Li Chang’an was clearly still beside the two juniors, never leaving from beginning to end. When did he come behind him?
And
why hadn’t he noticed at all?
The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became. He immediately circulated his magic power, intending to distance himself from Li Chang’an.
But in the next instant,
a terrifying Nascent Soul pressure descended from the sky, pressing heavily on him, forcing him to his knees on the spot.
“Nascent… Nascent Soul…”
Liu Xuanfeng’s heart trembled violently, staring at Li Chang’an in disbelief.
The reason he hadn’t listened to his father’s advice and attacked Li Chang’an ahead of time was because he was worried that Li Chang’an’s cultivation would catch up with theirs.
If Li Chang’an also had the cultivation of the late Golden Core stage, then it would be difficult to deal with him.
But he never expected that
Li Chang’an was no longer a Golden Core cultivator, but a Nascent Soul True Monarch!
“You actually hid a major realm!”
Liu Xuanfeng exclaimed in shock.
If he had known beforehand that Li Chang’an was a Nascent Soul True Monarch, he wouldn’t have dared to act even if he had a hundred lives.
No one could have imagined that Li Chang’an would possess such strength so quietly.
“Becoming a Nascent Soul True Monarch at just over two hundred years old, with talent surpassing even the Purple Cloud True Monarch, he’s not some low-grade spiritual root, he’s clearly a peerless genius with a Heavenly Spiritual Root.”
Liu Xuanfeng’s expression was bleak; he finally understood many things from the past.
Back then, his third-tier earth dragon, and Wang Xiao, Pu Jie, and others he had invited to deal with Li Chang’an, died silently simply because of the vast difference in strength!
In the Southern Region at that time
, no one except Li Chang’an could easily kill them.
Sensing the powerful aura emanating from Li Chang’an, Liu Xuanfeng’s voice trembled slightly.
“Senior Li… what brings you here?”
He still harbored a sliver of hope, clinging to the idea that Li Chang’an was unaware of the situation.
But Li Chang’an’s cold words shattered all his hopes.
“Liu Xuanfeng, I’ve been focused on cultivation and didn’t want to cause any trouble at this time. But you’ve allowed Xun Yuanjia to deal with my junior; isn’t that tantamount to courting death?”
Hearing this,
Liu Xuanfeng trembled.
He immediately understood that Xun Yuanjia’s suspicion wasn’t due to his old enemies, but because of Li Chang’an!
The entire affair had been under Li Chang’an’s control from beginning to end.
Now ,
any pleas for mercy were meaningless.
Clinging to his last hope, Liu Xuanfeng pleaded, “Senior Li, I was young and ignorant, and acted impulsively. Please spare me; I’m willing to be your slave.”
“A man nearing two hundred years old, what do you mean by ‘young and ignorant’?”
Li Chang’an’s expression was cold. He activated his Wood Seed Technique, striking Liu Xuanfeng on the head with his palm.
In an instant,
Liu Xuanfeng was transformed into a puppet.
The reason he wasn’t killed outright was because Li Chang’an intended to use him against Xun Yuanjia.
“I’ll let you live a few more days.”
Li Chang’an’s words were not untrue.
He hadn’t originally planned to deal with Liu Xuanfeng at this time.
The cultivation world was in chaos, with the righteous and demonic paths locked in a war for years, and he himself had reached the crucial moment of forming his Nascent Soul.
He originally intended to first shatter his core to form his Nascent Soul, gaining true self-defense power, and then settle accounts with his old rivals.
But Liu Xuanfeng insisted on courting death. Li Chang’an had no choice but
to grant his request.
“This guy’s storage bag does contain some decent treasures.”
Li Chang’an probed the storage bag with his divine sense and quickly saw several treasures that aided in forming the Nascent Soul.
In addition, there was a small portion of auxiliary medicine for the Nascent Soul Pill.
“He hasn’t been a Holy Son for long, yet he’s obtained so many auxiliary medicines. Perhaps his father, Liu Haichao, gave them to him.”
After a moment,
Li Chang’an finished his inventory, put away the storage bag, and returned to Song Xianglan and Song Yu’er’s side.
When dealing with Liu Xuanfeng earlier, he had left a blood-dripping avatar to accompany these two juniors.
With his strength as a Nascent Soul True Monarch, he naturally wouldn’t be detected.
In Song Xianglan and Song Yu’er’s eyes, Li Chang’an had never left.
Song Xianglan asked, “Senior, these canyons near the entrance to the secret realm have already been explored by other cultivators. Shall we go directly to the depths of the secret realm?”
“Yes.”
Li Chang’an didn’t object, letting Song Xianglan and Song Yu’er explore freely.
He simply followed behind to ensure their safety,
and also to search for the Demon Soul Jade mentioned in the divination.
Furthermore,
he occasionally manipulated Liu Xuanfeng’s body to contact Xun Yuanjia, lest Xun Yuanjia become suspicious.
Not long after, Song Xianglan and Song Yu’er encountered a second-tier demon beast.
They joined forces and easily killed it.
“Yu’er, the essence blood and demon core of this demon beast are quite valuable. Let’s divide them.”
“Okay.”
The two laughed as they divided the treasure, their laughter like silver bells, clear and melodious.
On the road thereafter…
They encountered several more demonic beasts, all of which they easily slew without encountering any trouble.
When they came across uncertain areas, they used various methods to probe, thus avoiding many dangers.
They even anticipated the traps set by several cultivators.
Their journey had been remarkably smooth.
“Not bad,”
Li Chang’an nodded slightly from behind, quite satisfied with Song Yu’er’s performance.
He had often taught many younger generations survival skills, but few had heeded his advice; only Xu Changqing had put it into practice well.
Seeing this today, it was clear that Song Yu’er had indeed taken it to heart.
Several hours later,
the two found an undiscovered cave dwelling belonging to someone who had lived there before, and obtained many treasures.
They happily divided the treasures, their pretty faces beaming with satisfaction.
Song Xianglan smiled and said, “Senior Li, you see, Yu’er and I are more than capable of handling the troubles in the secret realm. You don’t need to worry too much.”
Song Yu’er also said, “Senior, I won’t get into trouble easily. I still need to take care of you in your old age.”
She smiled charmingly, still remembering her responsibility to take care of Li Chang’an in his old age.
Li Chang’an smiled silently.
His lifespan was now close to that of a Nascent Soul Celestial Lord, and he was growing younger with each passing year.
Who would take care of whom in the future was still uncertain.
After dividing the treasures,
Song Xianglan and Song Yu’er left the cave dwelling to continue exploring other opportunities.
Several more hours passed unnoticed.
Both had made considerable gains.
They came to a stream, intending to rest for a while.
Suddenly,
a commotion arose in the distance.
Many cultivators rushed towards the depths of a canyon, some with delighted expressions, others with anxious faces, seemingly worried about missing some kind of opportunity if they arrived too late.
Song Yu’er stopped one of them and asked,
“Fellow Daoist, what happened up ahead? Why are you all rushing there?”
“The Ancient Golden Divine Tree has appeared! There are countless Golden Divine Fruits on the tree. Fellow Daoist, hurry, or it will be too late!”
The cultivator hurriedly left these words and then frantically rushed towards the depths of the canyon.
Song Yu’er and Song Xianglan exchanged glances, their eyes filled with surprise.
“It’s actually the Ancient Golden Divine Tree.”
“Yu’er, let’s hurry over there. Such a treasure is extremely rare, even Nascent Soul cultivators would be tempted. Let’s grab a few fruits while no Nascent Soul cultivators are here yet!” “
Yes!”
Without hesitation, the two used their full escape techniques to quickly approach the canyon.
Li Chang’an followed behind them, lost in thought.
“The Golden Divine Tree?”
His eyes were deep as he looked at the canyon.
Deep within the canyon,
there were several incomplete near-fourth-order grand formations.
Through the grand array, one could vaguely see a golden tree, its entire body gleaming, seemingly cast from gold.
“Is it really the Golden Divine Tree?”
Li Chang’an was somewhat surprised.
This tree was extremely rare, unseen in the current cultivation world, only recorded in some ancient texts.
In ancient times, almost all nine major sects possessed one or more Golden Divine Trees.
This tree would bear a spiritual herb called the “Golden Divine Fruit.”
According to records,
this fruit was a treasure for the soul, greatly nourishing divine sense.
Consuming just one fruit would strengthen one’s divine sense compared to cultivators of the same level.
A strong divine sense was beneficial for alchemy, weapon crafting, and talisman drawing.
Furthermore, each breakthrough to a higher realm involved testing the three gates of essence, qi, and spirit.
The stronger the divine sense, the greater the probability of success.
“Xianglan is right. Even Nascent Soul cultivators would be tempted by such a treasure, and indeed, no other Nascent Soul cultivators
are present.” Li Chang’an had not detected any other Nascent Soul experts.
In other words,
he was the only Nascent Soul cultivator present.
If he wanted, he could have easily broken through those near-fourth-tier remnant formations and uprooted the entire Golden God Tree.
However, he didn’t act immediately, sensing something amiss.
“Why does this Golden God Tree bear so many Golden God Fruits?”
His knowledge far surpassed that of many cultivators here, allowing him to remain calm.
Ancient texts described Golden God Fruits as extremely precious, with each Golden God Tree capable of producing a maximum of nine fruits at a time.
However,
the Golden God Tree within the formation bore far more than nine fruits.
