Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 408

Chapter 408 The Complete Teleportation Array, Refining Demonic Qi with Blazing Fire (Seeking Subscriptions)

Through the array, one could vaguely see

thousands of Golden God Fruits hanging on the dazzling Golden God Tree!

This number

far exceeded the descriptions Li Chang’an had seen in ancient books.

Even just one fruit would significantly enhance one’s divine sense.

If he could swallow thousands, how strong would his divine sense become?

But this was clearly unrealistic.

“There’s something wrong with this tree.”

Li Chang’an’s expression was calm, unlike the other cultivators who were so excited.

Soon,

the three of them arrived at the depths of the canyon.

Thousands of cultivators had already gathered there, including those at the Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core stages, all anxiously scratching their heads, trying every possible way to break the array.

“Everyone, think of something quickly!”

“Before those Nascent Soul True Monarchs arrive, let’s break these arrays as soon as possible, and we can all get Golden God Fruits.”

“If the Nascent Soul True Monarchs descend, we won’t even get a sip of soup!”

“…”

Outside the array, many cultivators either used spells and treasures to bombard it, or relied on array techniques to break it.

Each displayed their skills and employed various methods.

However

, even a broken, near-fourth-order formation was not easily broken by ordinary cultivators.

They could only impatiently surround the formation and continue using their methods.

During this time,

Li Chang’an quietly used his Stone Eye to observe the Golden God Tree within the formation.

“There’s definitely something wrong!”

Under the Stone Eye, the Golden God Tree was no longer dazzling; instead, it was dull and lifeless, filled with an eerie aura.

The thousands of gleaming golden fruits were all illusory, only nine were genuine and dull.

Both the Golden God Tree and the Golden God Fruits were entangled in demonic energy, emanating waves of malevolent intent.

This malevolence

was directed at the numerous cultivators outside the formation.

Li Chang’an sensed a strong sense of greed within them.

“This Golden God Tree seems to be treating the many cultivators outside the formation as nourishment; those thousands of golden fruits are probably just bait it deliberately created,”

Li Chang’an secretly speculated.

He activated his Stone Eye with all his might, pouring in his Nascent Soul power without reservation, trying to see the reason for the strange change in the Golden Divine Tree.

He quickly discovered it.

The dense demonic energy all originated from the Golden Divine Tree’s roots.

The tree’s roots were dense, numbering in the thousands, mostly entwined around a dark gray jade stone.

“Demon Soul Jade!”

The moment he saw the jade stone, Li Chang’an understood everything.

That jade stone was indeed the Demon Soul Jade mentioned in the divination, and one of the materials he needed to refine the Beast Taming Wheel.

This jade was extremely strange.

According to ancient records, if a spiritual plant took root in Demon Soul Jade, that plant would gradually become demonic, transforming into a special kind of demon.

This Golden Divine Tree before him had clearly experienced this special situation.

“This tree has become a demon tree; I wonder if its fruit is still useful?”

Li Chang’an pondered.

Just then,

a streak of light suddenly pierced the sky and arrived in front of them.

The newcomer possessed a powerful aura, had reached the late Golden Core stage, and was an acquaintance of Li Chang’an.

Lin Ximu!

Her beautiful eyes turned cold as she saw Li Chang’an, but instead of attacking him, she decisively broke the formation.

“Boom!”

She unleashed a fourth-tier trump card, instantly destroying several near-fourth-tier remnant formations.

In an instant,

the entire canyon burst into golden light.

The full view of the Golden Divine Tree was finally revealed to everyone.

Its entire body was golden, even its leaves were dazzling golden leaves, and thousands of Golden Divine Fruits were faintly visible among the dense foliage, emitting an alluring fragrance.

Almost everyone present couldn’t contain themselves and rushed forward.

“Quickly grab it!”

“Don’t be hasty, everyone! This tree has thousands of spiritual fruits; one for each of us is enough!”

“Get out of the way, the spiritual fruit on this branch is mine!”

“…”

The scene instantly descended into chaos.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of low-level cultivators were killed.

But many more managed to grab the spiritual fruits and eagerly devoured them.

They did this naturally out of fear that others would snatch the fruits from their hands.

Soon, some people showed expressions of surprise and delight.

“It really is the Golden God Fruit! My divine sense has improved a lot.”

“Me too!”

“If I could eat a few more, my divine sense might even surpass a small realm!”

Everyone who swallowed the Golden God Fruit felt a significant improvement in their divine sense.

Seeing this, those who had previously had doubts no longer hesitated and swallowed the Golden God Fruit one after another, grabbing even more.

Even Lin Ximu swallowed one.

She nodded slightly, as if confirming the effects of the medicine, and then looked at the trunk of the Golden God Tree.

Clearly,

she not only wanted the Golden God Fruit, but also wanted to uproot the entire Golden God Tree.

As the person with the highest cultivation level present, she was qualified to do anything before the Nascent Soul True Monarch arrived.

At this moment,

Li Chang’an had not yet made a move.

He was still observing the specific strength of the Golden God Tree.

Although there was a divination indicating this, he did not let his guard down.

“The strength of this demonic tree is stronger than that of an ordinary quasi-fourth-tier demonic beast, but it should not have reached the true fourth tier.”

While observing, he released two streams of magic power, firmly holding down Song Xianglan and Song Yu’er.

Both were extremely anxious and couldn’t understand Li Chang’an’s actions.

“Senior, it will be too late if we don’t act now!”

“There are less than a thousand Golden God Fruits left on the tree.”

“Senior Li, please let me go…”

Song Xianglan was extremely anxious, struggling desperately, but to no avail.

She could only watch helplessly as the Golden God Fruits dwindled, leaving her with nothing, her face flushed with worry.

Li Chang’an calmly said, “That Golden God Tree is not right; the fruit is inedible.”

Song Xianglan was filled with anxiety: “Senior, everyone else has eaten it; there won’t be any problems!”

“Don’t worry, wait a little longer.”

“If I wait any longer, there will be nothing left…”

Song Xianglan’s eyes reddened with anxiety, and she almost cried.

Treasures that enhance one’s divine sense are rare and precious, perhaps one might only encounter them once in a lifetime, yet she was pinned down here by Li Chang’an, unable to move.

If she had known this would happen, she definitely wouldn’t have gone to Changqing Mountain.

“If I had known, I would have brought Master with me. If Master were here, he would never have let this opportunity slip away; he would have definitely uprooted the entire tree and taken it away.”

Song Xianglan couldn’t help but complain.

Song Yu’er was alright.

She had followed Li Chang’an for many years, knew his character well, and had received many favors from him.

Missing just one opportunity wasn’t enough to make her resentful.

She only felt it was a pity.

If Li Chang’an could have eaten more Golden God Fruits, his strength would definitely have improved even further.

She herself didn’t care.

Gradually,

the number of Golden God Fruits on the Golden God Tree dwindled, and the battle was drawing to a close.

Lin Ximu naturally grabbed the most Golden God Fruits.

As for the other cultivators, almost everyone who was still alive had gained something, it was just a matter of how much.

Finally,

everyone’s eyes were focused on the Golden God Tree.

They all thought the same thing: if they could take this Golden God Tree away, they could cultivate more Golden God Fruits in the future.

“Everyone, please step back. This Golden God Tree now belongs to my Xuanwu Sect.”

Lin Ximu slowly stepped forward, her tone calm, but carrying an undeniable air of authority.

The crowd looked at each other, intimidated by her strength, and for a moment no one spoke.

If nothing unexpected happened,

this Golden God Tree would ultimately be taken away by her.

However,

an unexpected event occurred.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, hundreds upon hundreds of roots erupted from beneath the earth, instantly attacking all the cultivators present.

Almost simultaneously, everyone’s faces contorted in pain, many even screaming.

“Ah—”

Those who screamed were almost all Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

They clutched their heads, writhing in agony, their cries shrill, as if enduring unimaginable torture.

Then,

a horrifying scene unfolded.

A series of “booms” resounded as the heads of these Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators exploded, turning into headless corpses that fell to the ground.

The entire canyon instantly transformed into a living hell.

The thick stench of blood rose straight to the sky.

The remaining dozen or so Golden Core cultivators, though not directly exploded, were in no better shape, each writhing in unbearable pain, unable to spare any effort to defend against the onslaught of the Golden God Tree’s roots.

“Sizzle—Sizzle—”

Those slender roots, like countless sharp whips, instantly pierced through the bodies of many Golden Core cultivators.

The corpses of numerous low-level cultivators lying on the ground were also pierced through.

Amidst this bloody scene,

only Lin Ximu remained, struggling to hold on.

“Suppress!”

Her face was grim, her brows furrowed, and she gritted her teeth, enduring the pain, attempting to suppress the Golden God Tree with her fourth-tier trump card.

But this Golden God Tree also possessed a fourth-tier trump card!

A root, coiled with a fourth-tier talisman, emerged from the ground, using the talisman’s power to block Lin Ximu’s trump card.

At the same time,

more roots appeared, forming a cage around Lin Ximu, firmly trapping her.

Seeing this,

Song Xianglan and Song Yu’er both turned pale.

If Li Chang’an hadn’t restrained them, they would have rushed forward to compete with the others for the Golden God Fruit.

With their strength, they would surely have obtained quite a few.

After all,

even many Qi Refining cultivators were lucky enough to obtain one.

Most of them would likely consume the Golden God Fruit on the spot to verify its effects.

Thinking of this,

the two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with lingering fear.

“Thank goodness Senior Li stopped us…”

Song Xianglan looked at the blood-soaked ground, feeling a chill run down her spine.

Just moments before, numerous Foundation Establishment cultivators had exploded before their eyes, none surviving.

They were also at the Foundation Establishment stage.

If they had consumed the Golden God Fruit, their fate would likely have been no better.

If Li Chang’an hadn’t restrained them, they would probably have become part of this carnage.

“Senior Li, thank you for saving my life.”

Song Xianglan bowed deeply to Li Chang’an, sincerely thanking him, her heart filled with gratitude, devoid of any resentment.

At this moment,

she finally understood why her master, the Holy Maiden Zi Xi, valued Li Chang’an so highly.

Even Lin Ximu, the Holy Maiden of the Xuanwu Sect, hadn’t noticed the problem, but Li Chang’an had.

Song Yu’er asked curiously, “Senior, is this Golden Divine Tree fake?”

“It’s not fake, it’s just that something has changed.”

Li Chang’an shook his head slightly, not explaining much.

He said to the two, “Xianglan, Yu’er, this matter is somewhat dangerous. You two go into my spirit beast pouch first. I will release you after this is over.”

“Okay.”

Neither of them objected, and they both entered the spirit beast pouch.

After putting them away,

Li Chang’an used his Nascent Soul power to seal off the surrounding world.

Through his previous observations, he was completely certain that this demonic tree’s grade had not reached the fourth rank.

With his strength, taking it down would not be difficult.

At this moment,

the demonic tree seemed to sense the danger.

“Rumble…”

It suddenly rose from the ground, countless roots transforming into two long legs.

It took off running!

This comical scene was something Li Chang’an had never seen before.

“Trying to run away?”

Li Chang’an wasn’t worried.

The difference in strength between the demonic tree and him was too great; even if it used all its fourth-rank trump cards, it wouldn’t get very far.

However, what happened next surprised him.

The demonic tree used a series of fourth-tier trump cards to resist Li Chang’an’s power, clutching the demonic soul jade, and ran all the way to the deepest part of the canyon.

It swung several slender branches, slamming them heavily onto the ground.

“Boom!”

The earth instantly cracked open, revealing a circular array.

Li Chang’an was very familiar with this kind of circular array .

A teleportation array!

The demonic tree stood on the teleportation array, and a blurry human face appeared on its massive trunk.

It actually spoke in human language: “Foolish human, even if you were given another hundred years, you still couldn’t catch me!”

The next instant,

the teleportation array glowed, enveloping its entire body in light, causing it to vanish instantly.

Only an empty circular array remained.

Clearly,

it believed Li Chang’an couldn’t catch it, hence its arrogant boast.

In the current cultivation world, few people recognized teleportation arrays, and even those who did didn’t know how to activate them.

Even if they knew how to activate them, they might not have top-grade spirit stones.

Today, if another Nascent Soul cultivator had been present, they might have truly let him escape.

But he happened to encounter Li Chang’an.

Li Chang’an landed on the teleportation array and observed it for a moment.

“This teleportation array is very complete. After capturing that Golden Divine Tree, I’ll come back and move it to study it slowly!”

With a thought, he took out a top-grade spirit stone and placed it in the center of the array.

This was a method recorded in the notes of that senior from the Beast Taming Sect.

In the blink of an eye,

the spiritual power of the entire top-grade spirit stone was drained, turning into dust in front of Li Chang’an.

Li Chang’an couldn’t help but feel a little heartache. He only had twelve top-grade spirit stones in total, and each one used was one less.

However,

as long as he could capture that Golden Divine Tree, it would all be worth it.

Treasures that enhance divine sense are too rare; even with more spirit stones, they couldn’t buy them.

As he pondered, the array lit up again, its light shining brightly, enveloping his entire body.

The next instant,

Li Chang’an appeared in another location.

Beneath his feet, there was also a circular array.

“This place seems to be deep within the Myriad Valleys Secret Realm.”

He looked around.

All around were still thousands of rifts of varying sizes.

Li Chang’an carefully sensed the surroundings and quickly detected the aura of the Golden Divine Tree.

He moved swiftly, following the aura.

A few breaths later,

Li Chang’an successfully caught up with the Golden

Divine Tree. Hanging from the tree’s drooping roots were more than a dozen withered corpses, the same dozen or so Golden Core cultivators he had previously pierced.

All of them were dead.

Only Lin Ximu still had a faint breath.

But she had also fallen into a coma, entangled in a spiderweb of fine roots, with only her protective treasures holding her back.

“Suppress!”

Li Chang’an waved his hand, his Nascent Soul power instantly transforming into a giant palm, which slammed down heavily on the Golden Divine Tree.

The Golden Divine Tree cried out in alarm, its voice filled with terror.

“Foolish human, how could you catch up?”

As it spoke, it played several fourth-tier trump cards, trying to deplete Li Chang’an’s power.

But it knew very well that

its trump cards were ultimately limited, while Li Chang’an’s Nascent Soul power was inexhaustible.

In just a short while, he had already used up more than ten of his trump cards.

If this continued, he would inevitably fall into Li Chang’an’s hands sooner or later.

Thinking of this,

he panicked even more, shouting, “Intelligent human, if you spare me, I’m willing to offer a real Golden God Fruit!”

Li Chang’an remained unmoved.

“As long as I capture you, all the Golden God Fruits are mine. Why should I let you go for a mere single one?”

“Ah, you damned human, how can you be so clever!”

Seeing that Li Chang’an wouldn’t let him go, the Golden God Tree seemed somewhat annoyed.

He threatened loudly, “Ugly human, if you don’t stop, I’ll destroy all the Golden God Fruits, so you won’t get a single one!”

Li Chang’an calmly replied, “If you destroy the Golden God Fruits, I will sever your body, making you completely vanish into nothingness.”

“You…”

The anger on the Golden God Tree’s face instantly dissipated, replaced by fear.

Anything with intelligence will fear death.   Next, he shouted various words, some begging for mercy, some threatening, but all to no avail.   Li Chang’an remained silent, simply exhausting his fourth-tier trump cards. A moment

later   …   The Golden Divine Tree had completely exhausted its trump cards.   A sharp “crack” rang out as a streak of azure sword light severed the roots holding the Demon Soul Jade.   ”Come!”   Li Chang’an waved his hand, and the Demon Soul Jade flew through the air, landing in his hand.   ”Not bad, quite substantial, enough for me to refine it more than ten times.”   He nodded slightly, somewhat satisfied, and stored it in his storage bag.   The Golden Divine Tree howled in agony.   ”Damn human cultivator, give me back my treasure!”   Its countless roots coiled around, transforming into two large hands, demanding its return from Li Chang’an.   But the only response was another sword light.   ”Crack!”   Countless more roots were severed.   Li Chang’an rescued Lin Ximu and casually tossed her into a separate spirit beast bag.   Then, his eyes swept calmly over the entire Golden Divine Tree.   The Golden Divine Tree trembled, asking in fear.   ”Human cultivator, what are you doing?”   ”Nothing.”   Li Chang’an stood in mid-air, using the Five Elements Mutual Generation Technique to unleash a blazing inferno.   The flames roared, instantly turning half the sky red.   ”Ahhh—”   The Golden Divine Tree screamed repeatedly, struggling desperately in the flames.   But the four sides were sealed off by Li Chang’an’s Nascent Soul power, transforming into an invisible alchemical furnace, trapping it firmly.   After more than ten breaths,   the Golden Divine Tree’s struggles weakened, each leaf appearing dull and lifeless, seemingly about to be burned to ashes.   At this moment, wisps of demonic energy suddenly emanated from its body, vanishing into nothingness amidst the flames.   ”It really works!”   Li Chang’an’s eyes lit up.   What he was doing was similar to alchemy.   In the early stages of alchemy, special techniques were needed to remove impurities and toxins from various medicinal materials to prevent the pill from producing too much toxicity.   He used the same technique to gradually refine the demonic energy within the Golden Divine Tree, restoring it to its original state.   Gradually, his dim body regained its golden radiance.   After the last wisp of demonic energy was refined,   the demonic aura on the Golden God Tree completely dissipated, leaving it completely renewed.   He slowly bowed, offering nine genuine Golden God Fruits as a token of gratitude.   ”Thank you, Senior, for guiding me back to the righteous path. I am willing to follow you.”   (End of Chapter)
