Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 447
Chapter 447 The Third Great Fortune, The Great Battle Begins Again (Please Subscribe)
Great fortune divination rarely occurs.
This means that
if Li Chang’an goes to the Thousand Mine Caves, he might obtain a treasure that changes his destiny.
He has performed divinations multiple times, without feeling any danger.
“If my divination is correct, this journey will be smooth sailing.”
Li Chang’an pondered briefly.
He didn’t immediately reply to the old tortoise, but waited quietly.
In terms of divination skills, he already stands at the pinnacle of the entire cultivation world, but he hasn’t let his guard down, fearing that some treasure might interfere with his divination results.
Therefore,
he plans to check the daily divination first.
At midnight that night, a golden light appeared before his eyes.
【Divination Updated】
【Today’s Divination – Great Fortune】
【You accept the invitation of the Twin-Headed Azure Spirit Tortoise to go to the Thousand Mine Caves ruins, where you will obtain the “Heart-Asking Stone” and the “Heaven-Mending Stone”】
“Indeed, it’s a great fortune divination!”
Li Chang’an breathed a sigh of relief.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he carefully read the contents of the divination several times.
“The Heart-Questioning Stone is a top-tier treasure for overcoming inner demonic tribulations, far more valuable than the Mysterious Heart Pearl, but this stone wouldn’t necessarily cause the divination to show the word ‘Great Fortune.'”
Thinking of this,
Li Chang’an’s gaze locked onto the words “Heaven-Mending Stone.”
His knowledge was now quite extensive, but he had never seen this item in any ancient texts.
Neither the Nine Great Immortal Sects, nor the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, nor the ancient texts of the Myriad Races era contained any record of it.
“What benefit could this stone bring me?”
he pondered for a moment.
“The first time I received the Great Fortune divination, I stumbled upon the Mysterious Water Turtle.”
“The second Great Fortune divination allowed me to obtain the method for raising my spiritual root.”
These two Great Fortunes
almost completely changed his destiny.
Without the Mysterious Water Turtle’s talent for borrowing magic, he wouldn’t have been able to draw high-level talismans at a lower realm, let alone possess the strength to cross major realms.
The method for raising his spiritual root elevated his spiritual root from a low-grade spiritual root to a heavenly spiritual root, making him a rare genius in the world.
“The benefits this stone will bring me should be no less than those of the Mystic Water Turtle and the method to ascend spiritual roots. I hope it’s related to longevity.”
Li Chang’an collected his thoughts and stopped thinking about it.
In any case,
he had to get this stone first!
He immediately asked the old tortoise, “Fellow Daoist Turtle, have you broken the seal on that ruin?”
The old tortoise replied, “We’re still trying to break it. Fellow Daoist Lin, you should come quickly. If you’re late, the treasure might be taken by outsiders.”
“Alright!”
Li Chang’an no longer hesitated. He quietly left the Purple Cloud Sect, changed his identity to Lin Fan, and headed straight for the Thousand Mine Caves with the Mystic Water Turtle.
On the way, he asked the old tortoise why he had come to him.
The old tortoise told him, “That brat Lin Xuan Yan felt there was danger and refused to come to help me. He wouldn’t go out no matter what, so I had no choice but to come to you.”
“Lin Xuan Yan is indeed cautious, worthy of the tortoise’s name,”
Li Chang’an praised.
If he didn’t have divination skills and the daily divination results, he wouldn’t have gone out this time either.
The old tortoise continued, “Fellow Daoist Lin, you have many methods and astonishing luck. If we join forces, we’re sure to reap considerable rewards.”
“Fellow Daoist Turtle,”
Li Chang’an immediately stated, “if any treasures beneficial to the aquatic tortoise demons appear, Xiao Hei will get half.”
He and the old tortoise were familiar with each other, but the distribution had to be agreed upon beforehand.
Faced with profit, even brothers could turn against each other, let alone someone of a different race—one human, the other tortoise.
The old tortoise had no objection to Li Chang’an’s request and readily agreed.
Just then,
the old tortoise’s tone suddenly changed.
“Fellow Daoist Lin, be careful on your way here! The demonic cultivators are here!”
“How many?”
“Blood River, Yin Spirit, Green Scorpion…”
the old tortoise mentioned some demonic cultivators familiar to Li Chang’an.
This group of demonic Nascent Soul cultivators had come from the Northern Region, fighting their way to the Thousand Mines in the Central Region, and were currently confronting many righteous Nascent Soul cultivators.
Not long after,
Li Chang’an approached the Thousand Mines.
He quickly sensed the auras of more than fifty Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
There were over twenty righteous cultivators and over thirty demonic cultivators, many of whom were new faces.
Everyone sensed his aura.
On the demonic side, many Nascent Soul stage cultivators looked grave, as news of Li Chang’an’s crushing defeat of the White Tiger True Monarch had already spread.
The righteous cultivators all smiled, their expressions much more relaxed.
“Fellow Daoist Lin, come quickly!”
“These old demons want to seize our righteous path’s opportunities; a battle is inevitable today.”
“Fellow Daoist Lin, you must let those old demons truly experience your swordsmanship…”
“…”
In the eyes of many righteous Nascent Soul cultivators, Li Chang’an, though only a pseudo-Nascent Soul cultivator, could already be considered a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator.
Although he hadn’t formally fought a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator, everyone agreed that if they did, he would not be defeated!
A moment later.
Li Chang’an arrived beside the old tortoise.
The old tortoise was still concealing its strength, only revealing the aura of the early fourth rank; even its body had shrunk considerably, making it inconspicuous among the many righteous cultivators.
He secretly transmitted his voice: “Fellow Daoist Lin, with our strength, as long as Tianming doesn’t come, no one can do anything to us today.”
“We must not be careless; caution is paramount. We fear Tianming may be hiding in the shadows.”
Li Chang’an remained vigilant, carefully observing the numerous Demonic Dao True Monarchs. Among
the thirty-odd old demons on the Demonic Dao side, five possessed the aura of mid-Nascent Soul cultivators.
Xuehe and Yinling, two of them, belonged to the Yellow Springs Sect and the Netherworld Soul Sect respectively, and Li Chang’an was familiar with them.
As for the other three,
he had never seen them before, only gathering information about them.
The three individuals, whose Daoist names were “Black Centipede,” “Bone Refiner,” and “Yuanji,” hailed from the three major sects: Five Poison Valley, White Bone Sect, and Blissful Heaven Sect.
“Each of the five demonic sects has sent an old demon in the mid-Nascent Soul stage; it seems they attach great importance to this ancient ruin.”
As for the righteous path, their apparent high-level combat power was somewhat weaker. There were
only four mid-Nascent Soul cultivators:
Mingxia, Yuhu, Heisha, and the newly promoted mid-Nascent Soul cultivator Canghong.
The number of early-Nascent Soul and pseudo-Nascent Soul cultivators was more than ten fewer.
Their strength was not equal.
After assessing the strength of both sides, Li Chang’an looked down at the area below.
The land below, near the center of the Thousand Mine Caves, was originally an abandoned mine, left untouched for many years. Due to the righteous path’s mining activities, it had been reopened and now dug to a depth of tens of millions of feet. At the bottom of the mine, a multicolored barrier
could be seen . That barrier was the seal the old tortoise had mentioned earlier. Through the barrier, one could vaguely sense an extremely ancient and savage aura, far older than the Nine Great Immortal Sects and the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty. ”Indeed, it’s a relic from the ancient era of myriad races.” Li Chang’an felt a hint of anticipation. However, he had to deal with these demonic cultivators first. Due to the arrival of numerous demonic True Monarchs, the righteous path had no choice but to confront them and had ceased attempting to break the seal. If this stalemate continued , neither side would obtain the treasures within the relic. Therefore, war was inevitable! Everyone present understood this, their fighting spirit rising, swords drawn, and their auras reaching their peak. Blood River True Monarch suddenly laughed, “Why must you all act this way? You all know perfectly well that you have no chance of winning this battle. Why not give up now and let the five sects of my Yan Kingdom take over the Yuan and Zhao kingdoms?” ”Arrogant!” Black Sand True Monarch sneered. With a wave of his hand, endless black sand transformed into a celestial river. ”Blood River, since ancient times, evil has never triumphed over good. You are destined to be defeated!” ”Fellow Daoist Black Sand , you misunderstand.” Blood River True Monarch’s smile remained unchanged as he replied to Black Sand True Monarch. ”The strong prey on the weak, survival of the fittest—this is in accordance with the Way of Heaven. Our actions all conform to the laws of Heaven. The Five Sects of Yan Kingdom are the righteous path, while you are the evil path that defies the principles of Heaven.” ”Absurd!” True Monarch Black Sand frowned, coldly rebuking him. True Monarch Jade Tiger also spoke at this moment: “Blood River, you are not the Way of Heaven, how do you know what the Way of Heaven thinks?” ”I truly do not know,” True Monarch Blood River laughed. ”But if the Way of Heaven dislikes our actions, why would it grant us such strength? According to you all, we should have been punished by the Way of Heaven long ago. Our fortune and blessings are inferior to yours, and our strength should be far inferior to yours as well. But the truth is exactly the opposite.” ”Who is stronger and who is weaker will be known in a battle!” True Monarch Black Sand coldly shouted. Hearing this, Blood River said no more. He raised his hand, and nine blood-red short spears appeared in his hand, with a faint blood-red river appearing around him. ”Since that’s the case, then let’s fight.” As soon as he finished speaking, a great battle between righteous and demonic forces instantly broke out! More than fifty Nascent Soul auras shot straight into the sky, vast and mighty, seemingly threatening to overturn heaven and earth. Li Chang’an had originally intended to find any opponent in the early Nascent Soul stage. But just then, a cold, sharp shout rang out between heaven and earth.
“Li Fan, fight me!”
Immediately, a mid-Nascent Soul aura locked onto Li Chang’an.
Li Chang’an frowned slightly, following the aura.
The one challenging him was a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator from the White Bone Sect—
True Monarch Refining Bone!
This man stared intently at him, his face filled with killing intent and rage.
Li Chang’an remained calm, replying indifferently, “Fellow Daoist Refining Bone, do you wish to avenge your disciple?”
He wasn’t surprised by True Monarch Refining Bone’s killing intent.
True Monarch Refining Bone had two disciples.
One was True Monarch Cold Bone,
who was lured into the Xuanwu Sect and captured alive by Li Chang’an and the Old Turtle.
The other was True Monarch Demon Mountain, who was ambushed by Li Chang’an with a sword formation while fleeing, resulting in his capture as well.
For True Monarch Refining Bone, Li Chang’an was a mortal enemy of his lineage.
“Suppress!”
He exuded killing intent, shouting fiercely, and a sinister, terrifying giant skull suddenly appeared between heaven and earth.
Li Chang’an happened to be inside the skull’s mouth.
The skull slowly closed, carrying an overwhelming force, as if it were about to chew Li Chang’an up.
Seeing this,
everyone else’s expressions changed.
“Fellow Daoist Lin, be careful!”
Although they believed Li Chang’an possessed mid-Nascent Soul strength, he had never truly fought a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator before, and Lian Gu was not a newly promoted mid-Nascent Soul cultivator like Cang Hong.
He had a deep foundation, was a veteran expert, and his strength should not be underestimated.
At this moment, everyone on the righteous path had encountered an opponent, some even surrounded by multiple attackers, and no one could spare a hand to help Li Chang’an.
The old tortoise secretly transmitted his voice: “Fellow Daoist Lin, are you alright?”
“No problem.”
Li Chang’an’s expression was calm, reassuring him.
With a thought, thousands upon thousands of golden sword energies appeared, like wisps of rain, swirling and dancing around him.
Under the endless sword energy, the skull was instantly riddled with holes and shattered into pieces amidst the heavens and earth.
“You have some skill.”
Lian Gu True Monarch coldly snorted, confirming Li Chang’an’s strength, and attacked again.
In an instant, endless white bones appeared, transforming into a chilling sea of bones that instantly swallowed the spot where Li Chang’an stood.
This was the signature technique of the Bone Refining True Monarch:
Sea of White Bone Demons!
One after another, white bone demons rose from the sea of bones, terrifying and awe-inspiring, roaring as they charged towards Li Chang’an.
Li Chang’an remained calm, his expression unchanged, only his sword intent continuously rising.
“Boom!”
A white bone demon that approached his body was instantly shredded, exploding into a pile of fragments.
Immediately afterward, golden light shone brightly around Li Chang’an, his sword intent sharp and overwhelming, transforming into a raging storm that instantly annihilated the entire sea of bones.
This was the first appearance of the enhanced sword rain.
The golden sword energy illuminated the heavens and earth, dazzling and dazzling, causing countless Nascent Soul demon cultivators to tremble with fear.
“Slash!”
Li Chang’an waved his hand.
A sword array flew out, traversing the sky, instantly reaching the Bone Refining True Monarch.
The Bone Refining True Monarch was prepared; countless white bones appeared around him, transforming into armor that firmly protected him.
A loud “boom” resounded, and the Bone Refining True Monarch trembled violently, his bones shattering into countless fragments until only a few remained.
He took a deep breath and looked at Li Chang’an again, his expression incredibly solemn.
“To rival a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator with a pseudo-Nascent Soul, truly impressive.”
Li Chang’an remained silent, continuing his attack.
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged dozens of blows.
Many demonic cultivators were shocked to discover that, facing the Bone Refining True Monarch, a veteran mid-stage Nascent Soul expert, Li Chang’an was actually able to fight on equal terms, showing no signs of weakness.
“How can Lin Fan be so strong?”
“With the foundation of a pseudo-Nascent Soul cultivator, how can he rival a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator?”
“He is definitely not someone of this era; he must be a core disciple of one of the nine revived immortal sects, otherwise, he couldn’t possibly possess such strength…”
Many
made their judgments.
The people of the Nine Great Immortal Sects, whether in terms of cultivation techniques, spells, or control over their own magical power, far surpass contemporary cultivators.
If their cultivation levels were the same, the cultivators of the Nine Great Immortal Sects would often be stronger.
This is why
they believed Li Chang’an was an ancient cultivator.
Many on the righteous path also thought so.
“Fellow Daoist Lin, as an ancient cultivator, is willing to help us; it is truly our good fortune.”
“The other ancient cultivators all prioritize self-preservation, unwilling to fight against the demonic path, only Fellow Daoist Lin is righteous…”
Hearing these words,
the old tortoise’s expression became somewhat strange.
He couldn’t help but wonder how these people would feel if Li Chang’an’s identity were exposed in the future.
“This kid is truly a monster. He hasn’t even formed his Nascent Soul yet, how can he possess such strength? Could it be that he secretly stole the Faith Method of the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty? But even so, he hasn’t spread the Faith over any area.”
The old tortoise was equally puzzled, a series of thoughts flashing through his mind.
At this moment, he was the most relaxed person on the entire righteous-demonic battlefield.
Around him, several early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators and pseudo-Nascent Soul demons attacked, but none could break through his defenses, posing no threat whatsoever.
He only occasionally shouted a few words of weakness, while also observing the ancient ruins’ seal below.
Many others present, like him, were distracted by the seal during their battle, causing the battlefield to descend deeper and closer to it.
About a quarter of an hour later,
a loud “boom” was heard, the aftershocks of the battle between Blood River and Black Sand True Monarch reaching the barrier.
The barrier trembled, its surface glowing erratically, seemingly on the verge of shattering.
After that
, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the aftershocks of the battle continued to affect the barrier.
“Buzz—”
The barrier trembled more and more violently, and cracks gradually appeared on its surface.
Seeing this, both the righteous and demonic True Lords unanimously withdrew their strength, no longer focusing all their efforts on their opponent, but concentrating more on the barrier.
The old tortoise hurriedly transmitted its voice to Li Chang’an: “Fellow Daoist Lin, stop fighting that Bone Refiner. Pay attention to the seal below. Once the seal breaks, immediately sense the aura of the treasure.”
“Alright!”
Li Chang’an’s expression was calm, his breathing steady, showing that he was in complete control.
He was worried about being surrounded, so he didn’t use his full strength at all. Neither the talisman array, the evil spirit, nor the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Sword were effective.
“Judging from the current situation, it won’t be long before the seal breaks.”
He casually dealt with the Bone Refiner’s spells, with most of his mind focused on the barrier.
As expected.
Just seven breaths later.
A “crack” was heard, and the five-colored barrier shattered completely, turning into nothingness in everyone’s eyes.
Behind the barrier was a deep, desolate, and cold passage.
“Whoosh—”
A terrifying suction force suddenly appeared.
The entire passage seemed to open its bloody maw, about to swallow everyone whole.
“Not good!”
“Retreat immediately!”
“This place is dangerous, let the servants and puppets scout ahead…”
Many people’s expressions changed, realizing something was wrong, and they wanted to leave, but it was too late.
The suction force was unimaginably strong; even Nascent Soul cultivators like Blood River and Black Sand couldn’t resist it.
In an instant,
everyone was sucked into the passage.
Li Chang’an was perhaps the calmest among them, simply because he had received a very auspicious divination beforehand.
“This power is indeed strange; even Nascent Soul cultivators can’t resist it.”
He remained calm, carefully sensing his surroundings, but all his senses seemed to be blocked.
The surroundings were pitch black; the other righteous and demonic cultivators seemed to have vanished, leaving him alone, rapidly traversing the dark passage.
Not long after, a bright light appeared before Li Chang’an’s eyes.
A moment later,
his eyes lit up, and he was out of the passage, appearing in a strange world.
Looking around, the world was bathed in a dim yellow light.
“Whoosh…”
The wind howled, the earth cracked, and bones rolled across the ground, an aura of barbarity and desolation washing over him.
Li Chang’an turned around; the passage had vanished, and the others were nowhere to be seen.
He spread his divine sense but detected no one’s presence.
In the vast天地 (heaven and earth), it seemed he was alone.
Just then,
the communication artifacts in his storage bag began to heat up.
Li Chang’an took one out, probed it with his divine sense, and heard the old tortoise’s voice.
“Fellow Daoist Lin, where are you? I’ve been sent to a special world.”
“Fellow Daoist Tortoise, I should also be in this world, just far from you.”
Li Chang’an spoke calmly, recounting what he had seen and heard to the old tortoise.
Afterward, he took out the other communication artifacts and contacted the Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, and others one by one.
Finally,
everyone confirmed
that they were in the same small world, just in different locations.
