Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 451

Chapter 451 The True Lord of Unity, Five-Colored Gems (Seeking Subscriptions)

“The Path to Immortality?”

This suddenly clear sentence surprised Li Chang’an.

Why could he hear everything else clearly, but only this sentence?

Was it because he was obsessed with immortality?

“This person mentioned the ‘Five Emperors of Humanity,’ indicating that they were in the era of the myriad races, the age when humanity was just rising.”

According to ancient records, before the birth of the five emperors, humanity was merely food for other races.

Only after the Five Emperors did humanity begin to conquer other races.

The two people in the hall were in this crucial period.

The other replied, “I’ve also heard about this. Senior Pill Emperor may be immortal, but he hasn’t personally confirmed it. This might just be false information to intimidate other races.” “

That’s true. Pill Emperor hasn’t come forward to confirm it; everything is just speculation…”

The two’s voices gradually faded again.

A short while later,

the two of them got up and left the hall.

Only Li Chang’an remained in the hall.

Watching their departing figures, Li Chang’an pondered for a long time.

“True immortality lies only in the great path of continuous growth and strengthening; all others are minor paths, or ‘pseudo-immortality,’ though even the path of pseudo-immortality is difficult.”

Based on later records, it’s speculated that even if that Pill Emperor truly traversed a path to immortality, it couldn’t be the great path.

Otherwise, his strength alone would have been enough to sweep across all races.

“Unfortunately, I didn’t hear more.”

Li Chang’an felt a pang of regret.

Even a pseudo-immortality path would be of reference value to him.   He

wondered if that Pill Emperor had lived to see the future. Just then   , another person entered the hall, demonstrating array techniques.   Li Chang’an cleared his mind, focused his thoughts, and continued to comprehend array techniques.   Time flowed, years passed swiftly, and countless array masters came and went within the hall.   After an unknown amount of time, the scene gradually became illusory, no longer so real, and increasingly blurry.   Li Chang’an suddenly understood.   ”This demonstration is about to end.”   Suddenly, a “crack” was heard, and a crack appeared in the blurry scene.   Then, more and more cracks appeared, like a spreading spiderweb.   Finally…   The entire scene collapsed completely.   Li Chang’an remained seated in the secret chamber, but the walls around the chamber and the ceiling had crumbled.   ”Has the power of this Dharma-enhancing chamber been completely exhausted?”   He picked up a piece of broken wall and carefully sensed it, but sensed no power; it seemed to be just an ordinary piece of gravel.   Clearly, the power of the Dharma-enhancing chamber was indeed exhausted and could not be used a second time.   Li Chang’an couldn’t help but feel a little regretful.   ”What a pity.”   During the Dharma-enhancing process, although he tried his best to learn, there were still many things he didn’t understand.   If he could experience it again, he should understand more.   But the opportunity only comes once.   At this moment,   countless insights surged in his mind.   Li Chang’an felt that as long as he went back to study diligently and digested and absorbed all the insights from this Dharma-enhancing experience, he could achieve a breakthrough in array formation within a month at most, becoming a mid-grade fourth-level array master.   ”Once I break through in array formation, I’ll deal with that old bastard Cang Hong.”   ”I don’t know how long I’ve been in the Dharma-enhancing chamber; it seems like many years have passed, yet it also feels like only a moment.”   Li Chang’an sensed it briefly.   The auras of Mingxia, Heisha, and the others remained within the desolate city, still lingering at the spot where they had previously searched for treasure.   A large area of the entire desolate city remained unexplored.   In other words,   Li Chang’an’s intuition was correct.   He had spent a long time in the Dharma-Exercising Chamber, while only a fleeting moment had passed outside.   Everything within the desolate city was almost identical to the moment he entered the Dharma-Exercising Chamber, with little change.   ”How strange, could the flow of time be different inside and outside the Dharma-Exercising Chamber?”   Thinking this, Li Chang’an silently sensed his own lifespan.   His lifespan remained unchanged, he hadn’t aged, and it was the same as before he entered the Dharma-Exercising Chamber.   ”This Dharma-Exercising Chamber must be of a much higher grade than the Recording Stone. Not only can it preserve the scenes of yesteryear, but it can also interfere with time. I truly don’t know how it does it.”   The power of time has always been mysterious.   According to Li Chang’an’s understanding, even becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn’t be able to influence time.   Unless one possesses an innate power related to time and years, it’s impossible to create such a wondrous treasure as the Dharma-Exercising Chamber.   ”Could it be a Time Spirit Body?”   Li Chang’an suddenly thought. If it were such a spirit body, after multiple awakenings, it might possess such special power.   In today’s cultivation world, spirit bodies are extremely rare, but the situation was different in the ancient era of myriad races.   ”Forget it, thinking too much is useless, focus on the present.”   He waved his hand, collecting all the remains of the entire Dharma Hall, and then left to search for treasures elsewhere.   Not long after,   the entire desolate city was looted.   Without stopping to rest, they immediately rushed to the most central desolate city.   Not long after ,   a tall and majestic city appeared in their perception.   The scale of this city far exceeded any desolate city they had seen before, countless times larger than the previous city, its thick walls seemingly reaching the sky.   Before even getting close, Li Chang’an sensed the aura of many treasures.   ”I wonder which aura belongs to the Heaven-Mending Stone mentioned in the divination.”   The Heaven-Mending Stone was his last goal on this trip, and it could very well change his destiny.   He carefully sensed, trying to distinguish among the many rich auras of treasures.   At this moment,   outside the desolate city, several righteous cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage had gathered.   Azure Dragon True Monarch, White Tiger True Monarch, Cui Ling, and others were among them.

The reason they didn’t enter the city to explore was because the demonic cultivators had already gathered outside.

The two sides were evenly matched, facing each other from a distance outside the city, with no one venturing inside.

Almost simultaneously with Li Chang’an

‘s arrival, Blood River, Bone Refining, and others from the demonic side also arrived.

The balance of power between the two sides remained intact; neither made the first move, simply continuing their standoff, waiting for the arrival of other cultivators.

As time passed,

Qi Jiuyang, Jiang Xuanyuan, Vermilion Bird True Monarch, and others arrived one after another.

“Fellow Daoist Mingxia, are what you said earlier true?”

Vermilion Bird asked immediately upon arrival about Cang Hong.

True Monarch Mingxia nodded: “Fellow Daoist Vermilion Bird, everything I said is true. This is the recording stone from before; you can judge for yourself.”

She lightly raised her jade hand, took out a recording stone, and handed it to True Monarch Vermilion Bird.

Then,

the scene of Cang Hong being affected by the Mind-Questioning Domain appeared.

True Monarch Mingxia explained that she used the recording stone because she was worried that Cang Hong wouldn’t be able to break free, so she recorded the scene and asked the other Nascent Soul cultivators to discuss solutions.

Unexpectedly, Cang Hong’s words were recorded.

After viewing the scene in the image stone, the expressions of the many Nascent Soul True Monarchs present varied.

Some showed relief, seemingly harboring unspeakable secrets.

Vermilion Bird True Monarch, however, was somewhat angry.

“Once this matter is over, I will definitely return to question Cang Hong!”

“Fellow Daoist Vermilion Bird, this matter must be handled slowly. Cang Hong will stop at nothing for cultivation; I fear he might betray us and join the demonic path. We must not push him too far,”

Azure Dragon True Monarch said, his brow furrowed.

Qi Jiuyang also said, “Fellow Daoist Vermilion Bird, Cang Hong’s cultivation is higher than yours, and he can control the Vermilion Bird Sect’s grand formation. If you truly wish to confront him, you must not go alone; you must have someone accompany you.” “Indeed,

although Cang Hong’s character is flawed, his cultivation is not low; we must not underestimate him,”

the other Nascent Soul True Monarchs present chimed in, some offering advice, others trying to find a solution for Vermilion Bird.

Their greatest fear, naturally, was that Cang Hong would betray them and join the demonic path.

Azure Dragon True Monarch asked, “Fellow Daoist Vermilion Bird, who has the Vermilion Bird Token?”

“In my hands.”

A flash of spiritual light appeared in Vermilion Bird True Monarch’s hand, revealing the Vermilion Bird Token, capable of controlling the Four Spirits Formation.

Seeing this token, Azure Dragon and the other Nascent Soul cultivators from the Four Spirits Sect breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s good that the Vermilion Bird Token is still here. Even if Cang Hong really betrayed us to the demonic path, our losses aren’t too great.”

“Do you still have your tokens?”

“Of course.”

Jade Tiger, Azure Dragon, and the old tortoise each took out their tokens, confirming that none were lost or sent to the demonic path.

The Four Spirits Formation was one of the righteous path’s trump cards; it couldn’t afford any mishaps.

The old tortoise secretly transmitted his voice: “I thought these guys had lost their tokens. It seems they’ve kept them safe. There’s still hope in this battle.” “

Fellow Daoist Turtle, can the Four Spirits Formation suppress a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator?”

“Hard to say.”

The old tortoise wasn’t sure either.

He told Li Chang’an that the Four Spirits Formation had never been fully activated.

No one in the entire cultivation world knew how powerful it truly was in its full state.

As they were talking, the last two Nascent Soul cultivators from the righteous path arrived: one was a Nine-Star True Monarch from the White Tiger Sect, and the other was a Crimson Gold True Monarch from the Yellow Sand Sect; both were usually quite low-key.

Thus,

all the Nascent Soul cultivators from the righteous path had gathered.

With Cang Hong gone, Shui Yue fallen, and several others having their physical bodies severed, the righteous path only had a dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators remaining.

On the demonic path, nine were killed by Li Chang’an, and several more had their physical bodies severed by Ming Xia and others, yet their numbers remained unknown—more than thirty!

Many of these were new faces, not the familiar Nascent Soul elders.

“The demonic path has sent quite a few more,”

Azure Dragon True Monarch frowned.

The remaining righteous Nascent Soul cultivators also looked rather grim.

The difference in strength between the two sides was becoming increasingly pronounced.

Even including Li Chang’an and the old tortoise, the righteous path only had five mid-Nascent Soul cultivators.

The demonic path originally had five, and now had two more:

Azure Scorpion True Monarch of the Five Poisons Valley and Guiyi True Monarch of the Blissful Heaven Sect. Azure Scorpion

True Monarch was originally only a veteran early-Nascent Soul cultivator, but he gained an opportunity in this world and successfully broke through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

Guiyi True Monarch had just arrived from the Yan Kingdom.

Rumors circulated that he was only an early-Nascent Soul cultivator, but he had quietly cultivated to the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

“Why is this Guiyi Old Demon cultivating so quickly?”

Li Chang’an quietly used his Stone Eye to observe Guiyi Zhenjun.

Previously, Wan Hun had guessed that Guiyi Zhenjun was a practitioner of the Demon Seed Technique, but there was no evidence.

This person had been cultivating in the Blissful Heaven Sect for many years, and the outside world knew very little about him.

Today,

he took the initiative to leave the Blissful Heaven Sect, giving Li Chang’an the opportunity to observe him.

If one only looked at his appearance, this person was unremarkable in both appearance and aura, far less conspicuous than Xuehe, Lian Gu, and others, and had no aura of a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, under the Stone Eye, this person was surrounded by blood energy, which was particularly strange.

“According to Wan Hun, this person only has inferior spiritual roots and has not awakened a spiritual body, yet he has been able to cultivate to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, and he is not even five hundred years old. He is comparable to a genius with a Heavenly Spiritual Root.”

“He either obtained the method to enhance spiritual roots, or he has cultivated the Demon Seed Technique.”

“If we can capture him, we might have a chance to obtain the Heart-Questioning Demon Technique, but the timing is not right now…”

Li Chang’an pondered to himself.

There are too many Demonic True Monarchs here, making it unlikely that he can capture Guiyi.

Furthermore, he doesn’t yet understand Guiyi’s exact strength and cannot act rashly.

“A Nascent Soul cultivator of the Demonic Seed Technique possesses unfathomable strength.”

Back then, after Mo Qingkuang advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he could withstand the combined attacks of dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators.

True Monarch Guiyi may seem ordinary, but he is likely the strongest among the Demonic Path members.

Li Chang’an noticed this.

Guiyi and Xuehe were also observing him, their expressions showing some apprehension

. Due to the previous battle, Li Chang’an was already considered the strongest on the righteous path.

“This Lin Fan is most likely not a fake Nascent Soul cultivator; we cannot be deceived by his aura.” “

The unexplained disappearances of Xieying, Youshe, and others must be related to him.”

“If we’re fighting for the treasure later, we must stop him…”

Both

the righteous and demonic sides were discussing the details of their attack.

As time passed, the atmosphere on both sides grew increasingly tense.

Not long after,

as if by telepathy, Heisha and Xuehe simultaneously moved the sandstorm covering the desolate city.

The entire ancient city unfolded before everyone’s eyes.

The rest of the city resembled other desolate cities, consisting of collapsed pavilions and palaces, except for a single, extremely tall ancient tree at its very center.

This tree was tens of thousands of feet tall, with countless branches hanging

from it, each laden with treasures. The higher one climbed, the more precious the treasures became.

At its very top

was a five-colored, jade-like, gleaming stone.

The moment they saw this stone, everyone present felt a strange sensation.

Li Chang’an felt completely refreshed and at peace, as if all worries had vanished.

Beside him,

the old tortoise exclaimed in surprise,

“That stone seems to be able to compensate for my lost potential.”

He had rushed into advancing to the fourth rank years ago, lacking preparation. Although he had successfully advanced, his potential had been severely depleted, preventing him from breaking through for many years.

He had thought it was beyond repair, but that stone had given him hope.

At this moment, True Monarch Zhuque spoke, “Years ago, I mistakenly entered the perilous Vermilion Bird Nest. Although I survived, I was left with hidden injuries that I could never heal.”

She told everyone that the stone gave her the feeling that her hidden injuries were about to heal.

Following her,

True Monarch Qingyue also spoke.

Her strength was average; during the war between good and evil, her physical body was destroyed twice, forcing her to undergo two body-snatching attempts.

No matter how well the possessed body was a perfect match, it was never as good as her original body, always carrying a slight flaw.

This flaw was a common problem in body-snatching, and the entire cultivation world had no solution.

However,

upon seeing that stone for the first time, she suddenly felt that her flaw was about to disappear.

Subsequently, many righteous Nascent Soul cultivators spoke up.

They either had congenital deficiencies or old, hidden injuries that were originally incurable, but the strange power of that stone gave them hope for recovery.

Listening to everyone’s descriptions,

Li Chang’an gradually became certain that the stone was the Heaven-Mending Stone mentioned in the divination!

If the heavens could be mended, it could naturally mend the deficiencies of humans and demons.

However,

this stone seemed to be of little use to him.

“I have no inherent flaws,”

Li Chang’an said, somewhat puzzled.

He had no congenital deficiencies, nor any hidden injuries or old ailments. Even if he obtained the stone, it would be useless to him. Why then did the divination show great fortune?

“Divination is a prediction of the future. Perhaps I can’t use it now, but I might need it later,”

Li Chang’an secretly guessed.

In any case, he had to get his hands on this stone.

Its intrinsic value was immeasurable. Even if he truly couldn’t use it, he could exchange it for treasures.

He believed that the old tortoise and the Vermilion Bird True Monarch would definitely be willing to exchange their tribulation-crossing treasures for this stone.

“To seize this stone, we must first break through the barrier outside that ancient tree.”

Li Chang’an’s eyes were deep as he carefully observed.

Outside the ancient tree, there was a gigantic barrier, like an inverted bowl, firmly protecting the entire tree.

This barrier was not an array; like the barrier outside the previous passage, it was an obstacle formed by condensed spiritual energy.

As long as the power was strong enough, it could be broken.

Just then,

the Blood River Demon made his move again.

“Boom!”

The nine short spears in his hand flew out like lightning, crashing into the barrier one after another.

The entire barrier trembled, but remained intact, without the slightest crack.

After that, Qingxie, Lian Gu, Yin Ling, and others made their moves one after another.

They had different methods and were all quite powerful, but they also could not break through the barrier, only causing it to tremble slightly.

Seeing this,

the righteous sects looked at each other.

“Everyone, let’s make our move and break through this barrier first.”

“Alright!”

Subsequently, dozens of Nascent Soul True Monarchs from both the righteous and demonic sides made their moves simultaneously, attacking the barrier with various methods.

The bombardment was deafening, shaking the entire earth.

Under their relentless bombardment, the barrier’s power gradually weakened, becoming thinner and thinner.

About a quarter of an hour later,

a soft “crack” was heard, and a visible crack appeared on the barrier.

Seeing this,

everyone began to withdraw their power.

The old tortoise secretly transmitted its voice: “Fellow Daoist Lin, you are the strongest. Once this barrier breaks, head straight for the five-colored stone and be sure to seize it!”

“I will try my best.”

Li Chang’an took a deep breath, adjusting himself to his peak condition.

He knew perfectly well that if he wanted to seize the stone, a great battle was inevitable.

As time passed, more and more cracks appeared on the barrier, and it seemed about to shatter.

During this time,

Mingxia, Heisha, and others transmitted their voices to Li Chang’an, suggesting they join forces against the enemy.

However, Li Chang’an vaguely sensed that these people had already been targeted by the Nascent Soul stage demon from the demonic path, and he probably wouldn’t get much help.

A moment later, a deafening roar resounded between heaven and earth.

“Boom!”

The barrier could no longer hold and shattered on the spot.

In that instant ,

the battle between good and evil erupted once more!

Mingxia and the others, with a unified goal, ignored the other treasures on the ancient tree and headed straight for the five-colored stone at the highest point.

But just then, a cloud of azure poisonous mist suddenly spread out, blocking the path of True Monarch Black Sand.

“Black Sand, I’ve heard you’re quite powerful. Today, let me test your skills!”

True Monarch Green Scorpion’s aura was astonishing, his magical power surging, and a faint phantom of a poisonous scorpion appeared behind him as he charged towards True Monarch Black Sand.

At the same time ,

True Monarch Yuanji blocked Mingxia, while True Monarch Guiyi blocked Yu Hu. True

Monarch Black Centipede and his fourth-tier poisonous centipede blocked the old tortoise.

The other righteous Nascent Soul cultivators were also blocked, unable to approach the ancient tree.
