Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 430

Chapter 430 Gaining Recognition, Operation Canghong (Seeking Subscriptions)

Li Chang’an not only killed Huang He and his spirit beast, but also He Qianshan, who had long been a puppet.

Now, in Huang He Immortal City,

only Pei Yingyao remains as a Golden Core cultivator.

“Fellow Daoist Pei, do you wish to avenge them?”

“No.”

Pei Yingyao sighed softly.

She had promised back then that if Li Chang’an had the ability to take revenge, she wouldn’t stop him even if it meant overthrowing the entire Huang He Mountain lineage.

However, neither she nor the others had expected Li Chang’an to reach this point.

Li Chang’an asked her, “What are your plans for the future? Do you wish to continue staying in Huang He Immortal City?”

“I’ve encountered a bottleneck. I’ve been in seclusion for many years without taking a single step. It’s time to go out and explore.”

Pei Yingyao spoke of her future plans.

She intended to travel throughout the two righteous kingdoms, searching for sword relics, and then go to the northern regions of those kingdoms to practice swordsmanship using demonic cultivation techniques to hone her swordsmanship.

Perhaps she would die in battle in the northern regions, or perhaps she would die silently in some relic.

In any case.

Yellow Crane Immortal City was no longer her home.

Upon hearing this, a flash of light appeared in Li Chang’an’s hand, and a sword with its sharp edge concealed materialized.

“Years ago, when I was cultivating in Yellow Crane Immortal City, you took good care of me and lent me your sword for self-defense.”

Pei Yingyao hadn’t taken that sword back; it was still in Li Chang’an’s storage bag.

Li Chang’an said to her, “Today, I’ll also lend you a sword. If you encounter a powerful opponent, you can use this sword.”

“Thank you.”

Pei Yingyao didn’t refuse and immediately accepted.

Then, Li Chang’an pointed a finger at her brow, bestowing upon her countless insights into swordsmanship and cultivation.

He was now considered the number one swordsman in both righteous kingdoms.

His insights into swordsmanship were an immense opportunity for a swordsman like Pei Yingyao.

“If you have any questions, you can come to Changqing Mountain to find me anytime.”

“Okay.”

Pei Yingyao nodded gently, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Years ago, she had also guided Li Chang’an in swordsmanship and imparted her cultivation insights.

Now everything had turned upside down.

These realizations made her understand that an insurmountable chasm now separated her from Li Chang’an.

A moment later,

Li Chang’an pointed with his second finger.

He had compiled a set of Heavenly Grade cultivation techniques and spells suitable for Pei Yingyao and sent them into her sea of consciousness.

If she practiced them properly, Pei Yingyao’s strength would far surpass what she had before, enough to kill enemies even those of lower realms.

After doing this, he planned to leave.

At this moment ,

Pei Yingyao suddenly called out to him.

Her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, a complex expression never before appearing on her fair face, as if she had many things she wanted to say.

But in the end, she only said softly, “Fellow Daoist Li, take care.”

“Mm,”

Li Chang’an responded, and instantly disappeared into the horizon.

Pei Yingyao’s eyes were like water as she gazed in the direction he had disappeared, standing there for a long time.

…

Two hours later,

Li Chang’an returned to the Zixia Sect and released all his close relatives and friends.

“This is my training ground at the Zixia Sect. For the foreseeable future, you will cultivate here,”

he told everyone. He explained that his rapid return to the Zixia Sect was due to the assistance of a Nascent Soul senior.

No one questioned this.

Xu Fugui looked around, puzzled, and asked, “Brother, isn’t Ye Hao coming?”

“Ye Hao has his own matters to attend to.” “

Brother, was this trouble caused by that Canghong True Monarch?”

“It should be him.”

Li Chang’an calculated with his fingers, interpreting the divination results for everyone, and the divinations were all peaceful.

The bloodshed they faced had vanished.

This proved that

Li Chang’an’s decision to bring them to the Zixia Sect was correct.

Even if it really was that old Canghong, he wouldn’t dare easily enter the Zixia Sect to arrest them, after all, the Zixia Sect and the Zhuque Sect were both Nascent Soul sects with a history spanning ten thousand years. In fact

, according to Li Chang’an’s observation, if the Four Spirits Formation was disregarded, the Zixia Sect’s foundation was far stronger than the Zhuque Sect’s!

Xu Fugui and the others would face almost no danger cultivating here.

However…

Long Niu was a little uncomfortable and muttered a few words.

“Li Chang’an, when are you going to unleash your power and kill that old bastard Cang Hong? I don’t want to stay here too long; it’s more comfortable staying at Changqing Mountain.”

Hearing this, Li Chang’an glanced at him.

“Cang Hong is a mid-stage Nascent Soul expert, not some stray dog on the roadside. How can you just kill him like that?”

“I think you can kill him. Give it a try!”

“Don’t rush. This matter needs to be planned slowly.”

Li Chang’an comforted him.

He naturally wanted to kill Cang Hong as well, since the handle of the Heavenly Thunder Umbrella was in Cang Hong’s hands.

But with his current abilities, killing Cang Hong was too difficult.

“First, repair the Heavenly Thunder Umbrella’s canopy, then figure out a way to deal with that old thing.”

He used a large number of clones to purchase the treasures needed to repair the canopy in various places, and also instructed Luo Qiantong to collect information about Cang Hong.

Whether it was Cang Hong’s descendants and disciples, or his cultivation techniques and spells, or his special preferences, he needed all the information.

Time flew by, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The past three days have been relatively peaceful, with nothing major happening except for Liu Haichao’s visit.

He didn’t enter Li Chang’an’s training ground, but instead shouted outside, “Li Chang’an, if I were you, I would leave the Zixia Sect immediately to avoid tarnishing its reputation!”

Following him, many of his disciples and friends came to Li Chang’an’s training ground, demanding his departure.

However, Li Chang’an simply used an array to block out all sound.

He sat calmly deep within his cave, quietly cultivating.

Before he knew it,

midnight had arrived.

A golden light appeared before his eyes.

[The divination has been updated]

[Today’s Divination: Auspicious]

[You have accepted the invitation of the ancient cultivator Liang Xuan to explore the ruins of the Xuanqi Sect, where you have discovered a fourth-tier mid-grade weapon-refining inheritance.]

Seeing the divination results, Li Chang’an smiled.

“Looks like I’m lucky.”

A fourth-tier mid-grade weapon-refining technique was enough for him to repair the Heavenly Thunder Umbrella.

Several hours later.

He changed his identity and entered Liang Xuan’s dojo to meet him.

“Fellow Daoist Liang, when shall we depart?”

“Fellow Daoist Li, please wait a moment. My senior sister is on her way; she was the one who discovered the ruins.”

“Alright.”

Li Chang’an nodded slightly, waiting patiently.

He had previously heard Liang Xuan introduce his senior sister as “Yan Ruxuan,” who had extensive connections within the ancient cultivation sects and was familiar with Nascent Soul cultivators from the nine major immortal sects.

Not long after.

A female cultivator appeared.

She wore a black robe, had long, ink-black hair, slender eyebrows and eyes, and thin, black lips. She exuded a cold aura, and her cultivation had reached the early Nascent Soul stage.

It was Yan Ruxuan!

Her eyes were cold, her gaze fixed on Li Chang’an, scrutinizing him for a long time, as if trying to see right through him.

“Li Chang’an, are you truly a member of the Xuanqi Sect?”

“Does Fellow Daoist Yan not believe me?”

“None of the Xuanqi Sect cultivators I know have ever heard of you.”

Yan Ruxuan’s tone was icy, carrying a hint of wariness and suspicion.

Clearly, she believed Li Chang’an was a contemporary cultivator, deliberately impersonating someone from an ancient immortal sect to achieve his goals.

This had happened before, and more than once.

The cultivation world was dotted with the ruins of the Nine Great Immortal Sects, with numerous texts describing ancient times.

With enough knowledge, anyone could impersonate someone from one of the Nine Great Immortal Sects.

However,

the habits of contemporary cultivators differed greatly from those of the Nine Great Immortal Sects.

Over time, those imposters were exposed. Li Chang’an laughed, “Fellow Daoist Yan   , you

can rest assured. I am a genuine disciple of the Xuanqi Sect. The reason no one has heard of me is perhaps because my reputation was too low back then, and I wasn’t a core member of the sect.” “Fine, I’ll believe you for now!”   Yan Ruxuan snorted coldly and withdrew her gaze.   ”Come with me.”   ”Alright.”   Soon, the three set off, heading deep into the Black Dragon Mountains.   On the way,   Yan Ruxuan spoke about the ruins.   The ruins were located deep within an underground fissure, never before discovered, and must have appeared after an earthquake.   They were filled with eerie yin energy and countless skeletons, indicating the deaths of countless ancient cultivators.   She had called Liang Xuan to help find the Hidden Coffin.   ”This kind of place with dense yin energy is suitable for burying Hidden Coffins,”   she told the two.   After the Great Calamity, many surviving ancient cultivators specifically sought out such places to bury their Hidden Coffins.   Li Chang’an inquired, “Fellow Daoist Yan, must the Hidden World Coffin be buried in a place with abundant Yin energy?”   ”Not only does it need abundant Yin energy, but it also needs countless corpses. I’ve read in ancient texts that the person in the coffin must sleep alongside countless dead.”   ”I see, thank you for informing me.”   Li Chang’an immediately understood.   The two Hidden World Coffins he had obtained were both dug out from countless corpses.   At that time, he had guessed that the Hidden World Coffin couldn’t be buried arbitrarily; it had to be placed in a suitable location. While he   pondered this,   Yan Ruxuan quietly transmitted her voice to Liang Xuan.

“Junior brother, is this person truly a cultivator from the Xuanqi Sect?”

“Senior sister, Fellow Daoist Li knows a great deal about ancient matters; he shouldn’t be a fraud.”

“Hard to say!”

Yan Ruxuan’s tone was full of wariness, devoid of any trust.

“This person’s behavior doesn’t resemble that of an ancient cultivator; he’s most likely an imposter. Fortunately, there’s a way to test his identity in those ruins, and we’ll soon expose him!”

“Senior sister, what’s the method?”

“A fifth-order incomplete array from the Xuanqi Sect!”

Yan Ruxuan secretly informed him that the core of those ruins was protected by a fifth-order incomplete array.

The array’s spirit was still present.

No one except a true Xuanqi Sect disciple could pass through.

“Junior brother, neither of us are Xuanqi Sect disciples; we won’t gain the array spirit’s approval and can’t enter the core area.”

That’s why

she didn’t expect to find any particularly valuable treasures; she only wanted to see if there was a hidden coffin.

Liang Xuan asked, “Senior sister, do you think Fellow Daoist Li can’t get in either?”

“That’s right! Junior brother, just you wait and see; he won’t pass the array spirit’s test.”

Hearing this, Liang Xuan remained silent for a moment.

After Yan Ruxuan’s words, he also felt that there were many suspicious points about Li Chang’an, and perhaps he was not a true ancient person.

The atmosphere between the three of them gradually became somewhat strange.

In this strange atmosphere,

they entered the depths of the Black Dragon Mountain Range and arrived at the huge rift.

Looking around,

the rift was at least hundreds of thousands of feet deep.

At the bottom of the rift, just as Yan Ruxuan had said, there were mountains of corpses.

“Back then, a great battle must have taken place here, and countless disciples of the Xuanqi Sect and enemies died.”

Li Chang’an slowly descended to the bottom of the rift.

A chilling aura instantly surged in, enveloping him, as if countless ghosts were wandering around him, bringing with them gusts of bone-chilling wind.

As far as he could see, there was only desolation and decay.

Among the large number of corpses were countless traces of battle and collapsed pavilions and palaces.

“There’s still a broken array, its grade is beyond my comprehension, perhaps reaching the fifth rank.”

Li Chang’an’s figure flickered, arriving before the broken array at its core.

A fifth-rank array would spawn an array spirit. As long as the array wasn’t completely destroyed in the battle, the array spirit could repair it itself over the years.

However, due to the collapse of many array-setting treasures, the array couldn’t be restored to its complete state, becoming a broken array.

Years ago, Li Chang’an had also seen a similar fifth-rank broken array in the ruins of the Hundred Weapons Sect.

He wasn’t a disciple of the Hundred Weapons Sect, and to enter that broken array, he had to buy a Hundred Weapons Sect disciple’s identity token.

“Perhaps I don’t need a token today,”

Li Chang’an pondered to himself.

He inherited all of Li Tai’an’s memories and wasn’t much different from the real Li Tai’an, so he shouldn’t be blocked by the array spirit.

Just then,

Yan Ruxuan and Liang Xuan came to his side.

“Fellow Daoist Li, Junior Brother Liang and I are not disciples of the Xuanqi Sect, and therefore cannot gain the array spirit’s approval. However, you should be fine. Why not try now?”

“Alright, that’s exactly what I was thinking.”

Li Chang’an stepped forward and touched the array.

Both of them stared intently at him, trying to see if he was genuine.

A moment later

, a calm voice rang in Li Chang’an’s ears.

“Are you a disciple of the Xuanqi Sect?”

“Yes.”

“Do you have proof?”

“Senior, please see…”

Li Chang’an immediately activated the cultivation techniques and spells that only inner disciples of the Xuanqi Sect were qualified to practice, asking the array spirit to sense them.

In addition, he projected fragments of Li Tai’an’s memories for the array spirit to see.

After a while,

the array spirit’s voice sounded again.

“You are indeed a disciple of the Xuanqi Sect. You may freely enter and exit this area.”

“Thank you, Senior.”

Li Chang’an smiled, took a step forward, and successfully passed through the array barrier, entering the core area of this ruin.

Seeing this,

Liang Xuan immediately dispelled his doubts and felt somewhat ashamed of his previous suspicions.

“Senior Sister, the array spirit has confirmed that Fellow Daoist Li is indeed a disciple of the Xuanqi Sect. You were overthinking it.”

“This…”

Yan Ruxuan was taken aback.

She had almost concluded that Li Chang’an was the person of this era, but the array spirit’s judgment was beyond her expectations.

“It seems I was indeed overthinking it.”

She suppressed all her doubts, and her pretty face softened.

Li Chang’an turned around, noticed the change in her expression, and immediately understood what she was thinking.

He didn’t expose her, but simply smiled and said, “Fellow Daoists, I intend to search around here. What are your plans?”

“Fellow Daoist Li, my junior brother and I will search for the Hidden Coffin on the outskirts.”

After a brief exchange,

the two sides parted ways, each searching for their respective targets.

Li Chang’an spread his divine sense, traversing the desolate and ruined ruins. Broken treasures and corpses were everywhere along the way.

He didn’t hesitate to collect many treasures and storage bags with a wave of his hand.

As for the corpses of the Xuanqi Sect disciples, he didn’t leave them exposed there any longer, but dug a large pit and buried them all.

Not long after…

He ventured deep into the area and opened a cave dwelling.

The cave contained few treasures, and their value was low; the highest grade was only mid-grade third rank, and there were no inheritances.

“It should be the cave dwelling of a Golden Core cultivator,”

Li Chang’an thought, waving his hand to collect all the treasures before heading to the next cave dwelling.

In the following quarter of an hour,

he opened more than twenty cave dwellings, but obtained few treasures. He

also obtained only a handful of weapon-refining inheritances, all of which stopped at the third rank, lacking any fourth-rank content.

Undeterred, he maintained his focus and continued his search.

A moment later,

Li Chang’an opened another cave dwelling.

This cave dwelling contained no other treasures, only a jade slip.

He picked it up and probed it with his divine sense, discovering it was a legacy.

“It’s only a low-grade fourth-tier legacy, not the mid-grade legacy mentioned in the divination. However, the legacy contains many insights into weapon crafting, which will be somewhat helpful to me.”

“The owner of this cave dwelling should have been a low-grade fourth-tier weapon crafter. I wonder if he survived the great calamity…”

Li Chang’an continued flipping through the pages, memorizing all the insights, with occasional reflections surfacing in his mind.

Soon, he reached the last page.

The last content of the jade slip was a message from the cave dwelling’s owner.

“My fellow Daoists from the Heavenly Mystery Sect told me that the nine major sects have committed too many killings and are destined to suffer this calamity. They urged me to prepare methods to avoid it as soon as possible.”

“But the sect’s reclusive coffins are limited; I can’t obtain one.”

“I’m unwilling to accept this, so I can only risk my life to find the legendary Ferryboat.”

“Ferryboat, Ferryboat… With the Ferryboat, I can overcome this calamity…”

Hearing this message, Li Chang’an trembled, a sense of disbelief rising in his heart.

He was all too familiar with the voice of the cave’s owner!

Years ago,

in search of the Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique, he ventured deep into the Ancient Wood Secret Realm.

Deep within that realm, he encountered a ship emerging from the white mist.

The ship was crafted from countless pale white skeletons, eerie and terrifying; a single glance was enough to send chills down one’s spine.

On the bow

sat a dazed cultivator.

The cultivator told him that a great calamity was approaching and urged him to board the ship to avoid it.

“It was him! He really found the Ferryboat!”

Li Chang’an recalled the events of that time.

The voice was exactly the same as the one left in the jade slip, without the slightest difference.

“He couldn’t obtain the Hidden World Coffin, which means he’s not a core member of the Xuanqi Sect, and his cultivation level shouldn’t be high, at most only at the Nascent Soul stage. Why has he lived for over 90,000 years?”

“Furthermore, the Great Calamity has passed, why hasn’t he left the Ferry of Salvation?”

Li Chang’an pondered.

The man’s thoughts seemed stuck before the Great Calamity.

There were many inconsistencies in his actions.

Just then,

the puppet he left in the Zheng family territory suddenly sensed something amiss.

“Someone is forcibly breaking into the Zheng family territory’s grand formation.”

Li Chang’an focused his attention on the Zheng family territory.

The newcomer was extremely powerful; the near-fourth-order formation couldn’t stop them.

“It really is that old bastard Cang Hong!”

Li Chang’an recognized the familiar aura.

Above the Zheng family territory,

Cang Hong, with a cold expression, swept across the entire territory, immediately locking onto its depths.

“There’s a wisp of Golden Core aura; it must be Zheng Qingqing. I’ve heard she has a deep friendship with Li Chang’an.”

He moved swiftly, breaking through the layers of arrays deep within the clan’s territory with his power.

A moment later, he arrived before a secret chamber.

“Boom!”

The chamber door shattered under the pressure of the Nascent Soul cultivator.

Cang Hong entered the chamber, intending to capture Zheng Qingqing, but only saw a puppet.

Li Chang’an, with a leisurely expression, asked with a smile,

“Senior Cang Hong, who are you looking for?”
