Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 441

Chapter 441 The Son of the Nascent Soul, Number One Bounty (Seeking Subscriptions)

“Just as I predicted.”

Li Chang’an, hidden in the shadows, watched more than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators of the demonic path depart.

These old demons did not linger in the Jade Toad Palace for long.

“I’ll make my move after they’ve gone far away.”

Li Chang’an was extremely patient, waiting quietly.

About an hour later, he quietly performed a divination, and the result was still auspicious, so he began to act.

He concealed all his aura, like a ghost, silently approaching the Jade Toad Palace and controlling a Jade Toad Palace disciple who was patrolling outside.

Then, he disguised himself as this disciple and successfully entered the Jade Toad Palace’s formation without arousing anyone’s suspicion.

Not long after.

Li Chang’an arrived at the main hall of the Jade Toad Palace.

“Ancestor, I have important matters to report!”

“Come in.”

“Yes!”

Li Chang’an stepped into the main hall of the Jade Toad Palace with steady steps.

Inside the main hall.

Jade Toad True Monarch was practicing his cultivation.

His cheeks bulged high, and chilling poisonous lumps sprouted from beneath his skin, making him resemble a transformed toad, surrounded by swirling poisonous fumes.

“This guy’s poison skills are quite impressive,”

Li Chang’an remarked, using his Stone Eyes to examine Bi Chan Zhenjun as usual.

He had intended to see if the man possessed any hidden trump cards, but suddenly discovered a scarlet seed beneath his heart.

A Blood Seed!

This man, a Nascent Soul True Monarch, had actually had a Blood Seed implanted within him.

Yet, he seemed completely unaware, as if he hadn’t noticed anything amiss.

“The Blood Seed within him is still dormant, not yet erupted,”

Li Chang’an observed Bi Chan Zhenjun’s current state.

He hadn’t been turned into a puppet and was still relatively free, but could be harvested at any moment by someone in the shadows.

“This is troublesome.”

Li Chang’an had always been wary of the Demon Seed Technique.

Previously, when dealing with the Thousand Corpse True Monarch, he intended to capture his disciple, “Blood Lotus True Man,” but discovered that the man had become a Blood Seed puppet. He then replaced him with another disciple to avoid fighting the person behind him.

But this time, his target was the Azure Toad True Monarch.

There was no way to avoid him!

“Forget it, thinking too much is useless. Since the divination shows a neutral outcome, there won’t be any trouble.”

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

He immediately made a decision.

Blood Seeds were no problem; he would kill them anyway!

At this moment,

the Azure Toad True Monarch finished his training and glanced at him.

“Speak, what is it?”

“Ancestor, it’s like this…”

Li Chang’an began, secretly ordering the Fiend Soul to attack.

Soul Seal!

The Azure Toad True Monarch trembled, his face showing a dazed expression, and he froze on the spot.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Chang’an unleashed two beams of spiritual light.

One transformed into a talisman array, instantly forming an array around the Azure Toad True Monarch, sealing off his surroundings.

The other was a sword array fused with the Flying Immortal intent.

A dazzling sword light illuminated the entire hall in an instant, striking Bi Chan Zhenjun heavily.

“Boom!”

Bi Chan Zhenjun screamed in agony as his protective treasures and armor shattered instantly, leaving him covered in blood and splattering poisonous blood.

He wanted to retaliate, but the power of the formation held him firmly in place, rendering him completely immobile.

Immediately afterward,

several more sword formations flew in, utterly shattering his body.

A terrified nascent soul flew out from the mangled flesh, but before it could escape, it was trapped by the Infant-Binding Net.

“Collect!”

Li Chang’an waved his hand, and the Infant-Binding Bottle flew out, collecting the nascent soul inside.

At this point, Bi Chan Zhenjun was powerless to fight back.

However,

the battle was not yet over.

From within Bi Chan Zhenjun’s pile of shattered flesh, a dense demonic aura rose.

“Croak…”

A strange cry was heard, and a toad, entirely dark green and covered in pus and poisonous sacs, appeared.

Its aura was formidable, reaching the fourth rank, and it wasn’t a newcomer to the fourth rank; its foundation was quite profound, comparable to a veteran early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator of the human race.

“No wonder this Jade Toad True Monarch was so bold, daring to stay alone outside the Five Poison Valley. It turns out he secretly raised a fourth-rank poisonous toad.”

Li Chang’an suddenly realized.

None of the information he had gathered previously contained any record of this fourth-rank toad.

Clearly, Jade Toad True Monarch was also holding back!

This person was far less reckless than he appeared; he carried a veteran fourth-rank combatant with him. Anyone who dared to underestimate him would surely pay a heavy price.

However,

he encountered Li Chang’an.

Li Chang’an was also hiding his strength, and more than one.

Although the fourth-rank toad was strong, it was powerless against him, also being suppressed by the talisman array.

It repeatedly begged for mercy: “Human senior, spare my life, I am willing to sign a servant contract with you.”

“No interest!”

Li Chang’an showed no mercy, activating his sword array.

A series of dazzling sword lights appeared, striking the toad repeatedly, causing it to scream in agony.

“Spare me! Spare me!”

The poisonous sacs all over its body burst open, transforming into a dense cloud of poisonous mist that tightly protected it, buying it time to beg for mercy.

But Li Chang’an ignored its pleas, wanting only to resolve the matter quickly.

Moments later ,

the toad also exploded.

Its demonic infant hadn’t even had a chance to escape before Li Chang’an collected it with the Infant-Sealing Bottle.

Then, Li Chang’an didn’t stop, using all his strength to completely annihilate the blood seed within the shattered flesh.

Thousands upon thousands of sword energies crisscrossed, surrounding the blood seed layer by layer, instantly obliterating it. Only

then

did the battle truly end.

“Collect!”

Li Chang’an collected the toad’s corpse and the shattered head of the Azure Toad True Monarch.

He also took the Azure Toad True Monarch’s storage bag.

As for the rest, he pulverized them all with his sword energy, leaving nothing behind.

After that,

he erased all traces of the place and swiftly headed to the treasure vault deep within the Azure Toad Palace.

“Open!”

Li Chang’an instantly broke through the fourth-order array protecting the treasure vault, opening it.

The next instant,

countless treasures came into view, their dazzling light reflecting off each other.

Unfortunately, almost all of them were poison-related treasures.

Li Chang’an had no use for them at all.

The Nascent Soul treasures he needed were few and far between in this treasure vault.

“The Myriad Poison Gu got a good deal again.”

Li Chang’an shook his head slightly, waved his hand, and more than ten storage bags flew out, collecting all the treasures.

“The Myriad Poison Gu has been at the fourth order for quite some time. These poison-related treasures, along with the corpse and demon soul of that fourth-order poison toad, might allow him to advance another small realm.”

After collecting all the treasures…

He went to the library and glanced through it briefly.

As expected, it was almost entirely filled with books related to poison.

Li Chang’an had no use for them; they could only be used to enhance the library’s resources.

He collected all the books, then went on a killing spree, wiping out the entire Bi Chan Palace from top to bottom, completely eradicating its lineage.

Finally, he destroyed all traces of his presence and fled the area at top speed.

On his return journey,

Li Chang’an opened Bi Chan Zhenjun’s storage bag.

He quickly found the stolen ten-thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood.

“This wood is useless to me for now, but its value is extremely high; it can be used to exchange for other treasures.”

“Furthermore, after my tribulation, the Heavenly Thunder Umbrella should be damaged; this wood can be used to repair it.”

Li Chang’an examined it carefully.

The quality of this ten-thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood was almost identical to the one Qi Jiuyang had given him, and it was even heavier.

He put it back into his storage bag and continued to examine the other treasures.

The remaining items were almost all poison-related treasures, few of which were useful to him.

Soon…

He then found the cultivation technique practiced by the Azure Toad True Monarch.

“A Heavenly Grade Technique, Azure Toad Poison Technique.”

Li Chang’an quickly perused it. Based on the description, he felt this technique was only a pseudo-Heavenly Grade, falling short of true Heavenly Grade. However, the fourth-tier spiritual poison it produced was extremely potent.

Relying on this poison, even a pseudo-Nascent Soul cultivator could rival a true Nascent Soul cultivator!

However,

practicing this poison technique would cause a change in one’s appearance,

transforming them into a grotesque figure like the Azure Toad True Monarch, covered in poisonous vesicles.

“This technique is useless to me. Perhaps I can bestow it upon a talented junior in the path of poison if I encounter one in the future.”

Li Chang’an tossed it back into his storage bag and continued searching for other items.

Afterward, he searched the toad’s pouch, finding only poison-related treasures.

Several hours later ,

he returned to the Purple Cloud Sect and gave all the poison-related treasures he had obtained on this trip to the Myriad Poison Gu, allowing it to devour and absorb them.

“Digest it well, I see you have the potential to reach the fifth rank!”

“Thank you, Master!”

The Myriad Poison Gu happily accepted the treasure, taking out a piece to gnaw on.

Li Chang’an asked him, “By the way, you’re already a fourth-rank Gu worm, do you have the ability to transform?”

“No.” “

Alright, continue your cultivation.”

Li Chang’an didn’t ask any further.

He was simply curious what this fat worm would look like if it could transform.

But Gu worms are different from demonic beasts; this worm didn’t yet have the ability to transform.

…

That night.

Deep within the cave, Li Chang’an carved out a separate secret chamber.

Disguised as Li Fan, he entered the chamber and released the Nascent Soul of True Monarch Bi Chan to interrogate him.

Upon seeing him, True Monarch Bi Chan cried out in surprise

, “Li Fan, it’s you!”

“It’s me.”

“Why did you break through so quickly?”

True Monarch Bi Chan couldn’t understand.

In his view, Li Chang’an’s ability to crush him meant his cultivation was likely close to the late Nascent Soul stage.

But decades ago, Li Fan, under this identity, was merely a minor Golden Core cultivator, causing little trouble and only able to compete with younger demonic prodigies, completely ignored by the many Nascent Soul elders.

True Monarch Bi Chan regretted his actions. If he had known Li Chang’an was so strong, he would never have stayed in the Bi Chan Palace.

“If I had known this earlier, I should have listened to Qing Xie and returned to the Five Poisons Valley sooner.”

He was filled with remorse, but it was too late.

Now, he could only cling to a sliver of hope and plead with Li Chang’an to release him.

“Li Fan, you don’t need to be an enemy of my Demonic Path. You yourself cultivate demonic arts, so you should be a member of my Demonic Path,”

Bi Chan Zhenjun advised.

“One day, the Demonic Path will rule the entire cultivation world. Where can you hide then? Although you are strong, you are no match for Tian Ming. You will be killed sooner or later.”

“Oh? How strong is Tian Ming?”

“I don’t know, but even a wisp of his aura can make me tremble.”

Bi Chan Zhenjun was also unaware of Tian Ming’s cultivation level, but he spoke of his feelings.

According to him,

he had never experienced that feeling of dread from an outsider.

Even mid-Nascent Soul cultivators like Xue He and Yin Ling did not frighten him so much.

This indirectly confirmed that Tian Ming had indeed become a late-Nascent Soul cultivator.

After listening, Li Chang’an pondered for a moment.

He did not dwell on this issue and quickly asked about the blood seed.

“Bi Chan, do you know that you have a blood seed within you?”

“What blood seed?” “

Naturally, it is the blood seed of the Demonic Seed Technique.”

“What?”

Bi Chan Zhenjun looked astonished.

He subconsciously looked down at his body, but all that remained was his Nascent Soul; his body had already shattered.

“Li Fan, are you sure it’s a Blood Seed?”

“Why would I lie to you?”

Li Chang’an, too lazy to waste words, directly sent out a beam of spiritual light, sharing the scene he had witnessed with True Monarch Bi Chan.

It included not only what he had seen with his Stone Eye before the battle, but also scenes of him subsequently using his sword to annihilate the Blood Seed.

Seeing these scenes,

True Monarch Bi Chan was even more astonished, his face filled with disbelief.

“I…I was actually silently implanted with a Blood Seed?”

He couldn’t believe that as a dignified Nascent Soul True Monarch, he had almost become someone else’s Blood Seed puppet.

If it weren’t for Li Chang’an, he would probably still be in the dark until the day the Blood Seed erupted.

Li Chang’an asked him, “You really didn’t know?”

“I truly didn’t know, otherwise I would have already sought Tian Ming’s help.”

“Could Tian Ming be a practitioner of the Demon Seed Technique?”

“No, he definitely isn’t.”

True Monarch Bi Chan shook his head, giving the same reason as Thousand Corpses.

His cultivation level was nothing but a joke in front of True Monarch Tianming.

If True Monarch Tianming really wanted to devour him, he could have just done so directly; there was no need to leave behind a bloodline first.

As for the identity of the person in the shadows, he couldn’t confirm it for the time being.

Li Chang’an said bluntly, “Qian Shi believes it’s the Blissful Heavenly Sect. What do you think?”

“Qian Shi was also targeted by that person?”

“That’s right!”

“Then it should be the Blissful Heavenly Sect.”

True Monarch Bi Chan knew more about this mysterious sect than True Monarch Qian Shi.

He and several other Demonic Path True Monarchs had followed True Monarch Tianming to visit the Blissful Heavenly Sect.

According to his description,

the Blissful Heavenly Sect had very few disciples.

The entire sect was deserted and almost empty.

“The master of the Blissful Heavenly Sect is not a contemporary person. He is an ancient cultivator who was resurrected through the Coffin of Seclusion, and his identity was very special in ancient times.”

“What was so special about him?” “

He is the biological son of a Nascent Soul Heavenly Monarch!” “The

biological son of a Nascent Soul Heavenly Monarch?”

Hearing this, Li Chang’an couldn’t help but be surprised. He hadn’t expected that person to have such a powerful background.

Bi Chan Zhenjun introduced, “His father was the ‘Blissful Heavenly Lord’ of the ancient Netherworld Sect, in charge of the ‘Blissful Netherworld,’ and was renowned at the time.”

Li Chang’an asked, “What was his cultivation level?”

“I don’t know, but Tianming respected him greatly, so their cultivation levels should be about the same.”

“In that case, the demonic path seems to have two Nascent Soul Grandmasters.”

Li Chang’an pondered briefly.

The righteous path was indeed too weak, not even having a single suspected one.

Just then,

he suddenly received a message from Luo Qiantong.

Luo Qiantong informed him in the message, “Uncle Li, your bounty on the demonic path has increased again. You are now number one on the entire Yan Kingdom’s demonic path bounty list.”

“Okay, I understand.”

Li Chang’an was not surprised.

Obviously,

the demonic path had discovered the matter of Bi Chan Palace.

In this special period, only Li Fan’s identity would dare to quietly enter the heart of the demonic path and silently kill a Nascent Soul True Lord.

No other righteous cultivator had ever done such a thing.

“Number one on the bounty list, that’s a good title. I wonder what methods the demonic path will use.”

Li Chang’an wasn’t too worried.

From beginning to end, he hadn’t left any trace on the demonic path’s side.

Even if the demonic path wanted to target him, they wouldn’t have a way to do so.

He composed himself and continued interrogating Bi Chan.

Half an hour later.

Li Chang’an inquired about the Myriad Souls Demon.

“Bi Chan, does the Myriad Souls Demon have any weaknesses or preferences?”

“I don’t know. That old demon is far more cunning than his junior brother, Thousand Corpses. He has never revealed any weaknesses to the outside world, and he keeps his preferences very well hidden. If you really want to know, you’d better capture a few of his disciples and ask them.”

Having said this ,

Bi Chan Zhenjun voiced his doubts.

“Li Fan, the reason you targeted Teng She before was because he captured your old friend. Why are you targeting me and Myriad Souls this time? Myriad Souls’ disciples have offended you, but I have never offended you, have I?”

“You stole my Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Lightning-Struck Wood.”

“What? Those people are actually your subordinates?”

Bi Chan Zhenjun was stunned.

He never expected that he would be defeated by a lightning-based treasure that was completely useless to him.

Before he could ask any more questions, Li Chang’an recalled him.

Afterwards,

Li Chang’an began to plot against the Myriad Souls Demon.

“The Old Demon of Ten Thousand Souls is a veteran early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, aided by a fourth-tier early-stage main soul. Killing him isn’t difficult; the challenge lies in luring him out of the Nether Soul Sect alone.”

He was able to successfully kill Tengshe and Bichan because neither of them resided within their respective sects.

The Old Demon of Ten Thousand Souls, however, was different.

He was extremely cautious and would never leave the Nether Soul Sect unless absolutely necessary.

Li Chang’an didn’t want to fight within the Nether Soul Sect, especially since Tianming cultivated there.

If something went wrong,

he might face Tianming Zhenjun directly!

“I absolutely cannot fight Tianming. First, I must investigate the Old Demon of Ten Thousand Souls’ weaknesses, and at the same time, find a way to control his disciples,”

Li Chang’an secretly plotted.

A few days later,

he successfully controlled the Old Demon of Ten Thousand Souls’ eldest disciple, “Wu Mo.”

This man had followed the Old Demon of Ten Thousand Souls for many years and enjoyed his deep trust.

Li Chang’an controlled this man, having him cultivate in the Old Demon of Ten Thousand Souls’ training ground, secretly observing him and trying to find his weaknesses and preferences.

Time flew by, and several months passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time,

Li Chang’an made little progress.

The information gathered by Luo Qiantong was useless.

“Could it be that I can only use my identity as Li Fan as bait to lure Wan Hun out?”

“No, that’s too dangerous. I’m afraid what I’ll catch isn’t Wan Hun, but Tian Ming!”

Li Chang’an pondered for a long time but couldn’t come up with a good solution.

Wan Hun Zhenjun hadn’t revealed any preferences, had no descendants, and didn’t even have a Daoist partner.

However,

Li Chang’an noticed

that occasionally a female cultivator whose cultivation level was unfathomable would enter Wan Hun’s cave and leave after a few hours.

“Could that female cultivator be Wan Hun’s Daoist partner? If so, as long as I refine her into a puppet, I might be able to lure Wan Hun out of the Ming Hun Sect.”

Because he couldn’t see through her cultivation level, Li Chang’an didn’t act rashly and planned to observe for a while longer.

Just then,

Wan Hun Laomo’s voice suddenly rang in his ears.

“Disciple, prepare spiritual tea, a guest has arrived.”

“Yes.”

Li Chang’an immediately prepared spiritual tea and pastries, placed them in Wan Hun Zhenjun’s reception area, and silently retreated to the side to wait.

Not long after.

A puppet entered the Myriad Souls Dojo and arrived at this place.

This puppet only possessed the aura of a near-fourth-tier cultivator, but its demeanor was extraordinary, suggesting it was controlled by a Nascent Soul cultivator.

It sat opposite the Myriad Souls Old Demon and stated its purpose.

“Myriad Souls, I need a Soul Control Stone.”
