Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 463

Chapter 463 The Immortal Sect Returns, and the World Undergoes Dramatic Changes (Seeking Subscriptions)

Upon hearing Tian Ming’s words,

Li Chang’an’s unease reached its peak.

Not only him, but also Yan Ruxuan and other ancient cultivators showed expressions of worry.

“The Immortal Sect was destroyed in the Great Calamity and cannot reappear. What does Tian Ming want to do?”

“Could there be a legacy of the Immortal Sect beneath this Thousand Mine Caves?”

They exchanged glances, unwilling to consider the worst-case scenario.

However, Tang Yan’s expression was extremely solemn.

“I…I suddenly sensed the Sect Master’s aura.”

“Sect Master?”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

An unbelievable thought gradually surfaced in their minds.

“Fellow Daoist Tang, the Sect Master you’re referring to is…”

“The last Sect Master of the Netherworld Sect, Gui Ming Tianjun!”

“What?”

Everyone’s hearts sank.

Gui Ming Tianjun should have died in the Great Calamity ninety thousand years ago. Why would his aura appear in the rift?

Could it be that he also survived to this day through the Hidden World Coffin?

Even so…

He would also find it difficult to return to the Nascent Soul realm in the current cultivation world.

At this moment,

Tang Yan spoke again.

“Not only the sect leader, but also the auras of other Nascent Soul Heavenly Monarchs, such as the Blissful Heavenly Monarch.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was even more shocked.

Could it be that none of these Nascent Soul experts perished in the Great Calamity?

That Great Calamity came too quickly and ended too quickly, with many people disappearing inexplicably, amidst chaos.

As a result,

the final outcome for both sides in the Great Calamity remains a mystery to this day.

If the Nine Great Immortal Sects truly lost, why did their opponents also disappear without a trace?

Logically speaking, the force that defeated the Nine Great Immortal Sects would become the new ruler of the cultivation world, controlling all its resources.

However, according to existing data

, after that Great Calamity, the opponents of the Nine Great Immortal Sects also mysteriously disappeared.

Besides this,

there are many other doubts, all buried in the passage of time.

Now,

with the actions of the Demonic Path, all the questions seem to be about to be revealed.

Gu Yuhe frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, “Don’t panic. Perhaps it’s not the Nascent Soul cultivators themselves, but their leftover treasures.”

“That’s right, it might be their weapons or personal armor, tainted with their aura.”

“Maybe Tianming wants these things.”

Everyone chimed in, seemingly trying to convince themselves, but everyone was uneasy.

Just then, a loud “boom” was heard, and the Soul-Suppressing Tower completely shattered. Most of the fragments turned into nothingness in the world, leaving only a very few remnants.

“It really wasn’t the real Soul-Suppressing Tower.”

This scene confirmed Li Chang’an’s previous guess.

The real Soul-Suppressing Tower

had been shattered in the great calamity of that year.

Tianming found its fragments and the refining method from somewhere, added other materials, and refined a Soul-Suppressing Tower of a lower grade.

The overall grade of this tower was mostly below the quasi-fifth rank.

Due to the continuous bombardment by True Monarch Fusheng,

it shattered again.

Fusheng and many Nascent Soul cultivators and fourth-rank skill users appeared together.

Previously imprisoned within the tower, they were unable to perceive the outside world and were unaware of the changes that had occurred.

“What’s going on?”

“Is this the Thousand Mine Caves?”

“Tianming, what have you done?”

Black Sand True Monarch stared at Tianming, demanding an answer sharply.

Tianming didn’t reply, not even looking at him, still facing the cold river, seemingly waiting for something.

Black Sand True Monarch’s face darkened with anger, a treasure appearing in his hand, ready to attack.

But Floating Life True Monarch stopped him.

“It’s too late, there’s no need, retreat.”

“Why?”

Black Sand True Monarch frowned, somewhat puzzled.

The other Nascent Soul cultivators and fourth-tier skill users were equally confused, all looking at Floating Life True Monarch.

Floating Life True Monarch didn’t explain anything, only saying, “This battle is meaningless, let’s leave this place first.”

With that, he transformed into a rainbow of light and left the abyss.

The others exchanged bewildered glances, all choosing to trust Floating Life and follow him.

Staying here was useless.

Their strength was too weak; they couldn’t stop Tianming or change anything.

Before long,

everyone arrived at the rift.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, Fellow Daoist Liang, you’ve arrived too,”

True Monarch Mingxia greeted them, inquiring about the rift.

“Do you know what Tianming did?”

“Yes,”

Li Chang’an briefly recounted the events.

Upon hearing the words “inviting the Immortal Sects to return,” Qinglong and the others’ expressions changed.

The meaning was self-evident.

“Perhaps not the true Immortal Sects, but remnants of the nine great Immortal Sects from back then.”

They too harbored hope, unwilling to truly witness the return of the nine great Immortal Sects.

But just then,

an ancient voice suddenly resounded beneath the icy river water.

“Ninety thousand years have passed, mulberry fields have turned to seas…”

The voice was grand and ancient, seemingly from a distant past, traversing endless time and space, echoing in the present cultivation world. As

soon as the voice finished, the river water suddenly began to surge.

The tremors of the earth became even more violent.

“Rumble…”

The rift expanded wildly, and the Thousand Mine Caves collapsed instantly.

In the blink of an eye…

The entire fissure then expanded to be millions of miles wide.

The river at the bottom of the rift transformed into a vast ocean, its waves surging and rising until they were level with the land.

Then, the rift vanished, leaving only the turbulent sea.

This sea seemed to originate from the netherworld, filled with fragments of corpses and bones, and showed no sign of stopping, continuing its rampant spread, seemingly threatening to engulf the entire cultivation world.

Throughout the Central Region, countless cultivation forces were affected by this sudden change.

“What happened?”

“Why has a vast ocean suddenly appeared in the Central Region?”

“Retreat immediately! Take all your disciples and followers and leave this place…”

Many cultivators panicked and were forced to leave their original cultivation grounds, heading towards areas not yet submerged.

Numerous Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and even Golden Core cultivation forces were forced to evacuate.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the seawater continued to engulf one spiritual land after another, seemingly without end.

During this time,

the ancient and powerful aura of vicissitudes beneath the sea surface grew increasingly intense.

Suddenly,

a massive shadow appeared in the depths of the seabed illuminated by blood-red light.

“What is that?”

“It seems to be a ship.”

Qinglong and the others stared solemnly at the suddenly appearing shadow.

Everyone realized that

Tianming’s actions this time were all for this shadow.

“It doesn’t seem to be a ship.”

Li Chang’an frowned, using all his power to try to sense the shadow.

At first glance ,

the shadow did indeed look like a large ship.

But as time passed, it gradually rose from the seabed, slowly approaching the surface, its scale growing larger and larger.

Finally,

everyone saw clearly.

It was not a large ship, but a vast landmass!

Or rather,

a complete small world!

“Boom!”

The sea surged, waves crashing.

This enormous world emerged from beneath the sea, slowly rising into the air to the astonishment of everyone, hovering above the ocean.

“Such dense spiritual energy!”

Li Chang’an was secretly surprised.

The concentration of spiritual energy in this small world far exceeded that of the current cultivation world and various secret realms.

Its overall aura was completely different from that of the current cultivation world, as if it came from a distant ancient era. The entire world was filled with pavilions and palaces, with a tall sect at its very center.

“The Netherworld Prison Sect!”

Tang Yan and the other revived cultivators of the Netherworld Prison Sect exclaimed in unison.

This sect was exactly the same as the Netherworld Prison Sect in their memories, without the slightest change, even its aura belonged to the ancient era.

Upon seeing this sect, they were even somewhat dazed, as if they had returned to those days.

Inside the sect’s main hall, more than

ten cultivators stood with their hands behind their backs.

They slowly turned around, their gazes cold, looking down upon the entire cultivation world.

Each of these dozen or so people possessed extraordinary bearing, their auras unfathomably strong, far surpassing any cultivators they had ever seen, even much stronger than Tianming and Fusheng.

“A Nascent Soul Celestial Lord?”

Many people were shaken, guessing the cultivation level of the dozen or so people.

At this moment,

True Lord Wanle, his expression excited, cried out, “Father!”

“Hmm.”

One of them nodded slightly, his face becoming more gentle.

Upon witnessing this scene,

everyone present realized that this person was none other than the legendary Heavenly Lord of Bliss!

“Unexpectedly, in our lifetimes, we would actually see a living Heavenly Lord of the Nascent Soul stage.”

Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock.

The entire cultivation world hadn’t seen a Nascent Soul cultivator for 30,000 years, yet today more than ten had suddenly appeared, each a legendary figure recorded in ancient texts.

A group of living legends!

Standing in the center was none other than the former Sect Master of the Netherworld Sect.

The Heavenly Lord of the Netherworld!

He soared into the sky, his robes fluttering, surveying the earth, his vast aura instantly permeating the entire cultivation world.

“Today, the Netherworld Sect returns!”

His powerful voice resounded throughout heaven and earth, announcing the Netherworld Sect’s return.

Hearing this voice, countless hearts trembled.

“The Netherworld Sect? What kind of sect is that?”

“It’s one of the legendary Nine Great Immortal Sects!”

“What? The Nine Great Immortal Sects still exist?”

“…”

Throughout the cultivation world, almost every cultivator stopped what they were doing, discussing this matter in disbelief and shock.

Many refused to believe that a sect that had vanished for 90,000 years could reappear in the world.

But the overwhelming aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator that dominated the entire cultivation world was undeniable.

Whether they believed it or not,

the return of the Netherworld Sect was a foregone conclusion!

Furthermore, the other eight great immortal sects might also return one after another.

The thought filled many with fear and unease.

“I’ve heard that the cultivation world during the era of the nine great immortal sects was extremely chaotic, with good and evil reversed, demons running rampant, and slaughter and bloodshed everywhere. No one could cultivate in peace; even the lower-level cultivators were considered cultivation material by the sect’s higher-ups.”

“Lower-level? Is Foundation Establishment considered lower-level?”

“Nonsense! Of course it is!”

“Alas, what will become of our cultivation world in the end…”

Fear and unease gradually spread throughout the cultivation world.

Li Chang’an was also pondering the same question.

The current scale of the cultivation world was far smaller than in ancient times.

If the Netherworld Sect were to continue its ancient ways, it would likely not be long before the entire cultivation world’s lower-level cultivators and mortals were wiped out.

“All cultivators rise from the bottom. Without mortals and cultivators at the bottom, the entire cultivation world will gradually perish,”

Li Chang’an pondered.

Just then, the Heavenly Lord Guiming suddenly made his move.   With a flick of his sleeve, his divine power coalesced into a colossal hand that

blotted out the sky , grabbing fiercely at a certain point in the heavens.   ”Rumble…”   The cultivation world trembled once more, as if a world-ending crisis was about to erupt.   Amidst the shocked and terrified gazes of countless cultivators, the Heavenly Lord Guiming produced a blurry yet enormous chain.   The chain, seemingly from nowhere, appeared connected to the heavens, sealing off the entire world. Then, with   a   wave of his hand, the Heavenly Lord Guiming   shattered the chain with a deafening roar.   Almost simultaneously, everyone in the cultivation world felt a sense of relief, as if some shackle had been broken.   ”What’s going on?”   Li Chang’an was secretly astonished, carefully experiencing this strange sensation.   At this moment, he felt as if he had broken free from several non-existent suppressions, his entire being feeling incredibly relaxed.   Beside him, Tang Yan, Yan Ruxuan, and others shared similar feelings.   Furthermore,   after the chains broke, the entire cultivation world underwent a dramatic change.   Countless famous mountains and rivers appeared, many of which were only described in ancient texts, now appearing throughout the cultivation world.   The spiritual energy of heaven and earth grew increasingly dense, spiritual veins rose from the ground, thousands upon thousands of spiritual springs gushed forth, and countless spiritual flowers bloomed and swayed on the land.   ”The grade of the Changqing Mountain spiritual vein is actually improving!”   Li Chang’an exclaimed in surprise.   His avatar left on Changqing Mountain could clearly sense the skyrocketing concentration of spiritual energy throughout the mountain.   Originally, the grade of the Changqing Mountain spiritual vein was already very high, surpassing the third-tier spiritual veins of other Golden Core forces in the Southern Region, and faintly approaching the fourth tier.   Now, in this dramatic change of heaven and earth,   after only a quarter of an hour,   the Changqing Mountain spiritual vein had broken through, officially becoming a low-grade fourth-tier spiritual vein!   As a result, countless ordinary plants and trees inside and outside Changqing Mountain suddenly became spiritual flowers and herbs, many wild beasts in the mountains embarked on the path of demon beasts, and even mortals in various mortal kingdoms benefited greatly.   Many mortals who were terminally ill shed their ailments and became strong and healthy during this upheaval.   ”Heavens protect us! The gods have appeared!”   ”Our piety must have moved the celestial beings; thank you for sparing us from calamity.”   ”Thank you, immortals…”   In an instant, countless mortals knelt before the temple in worship.   Li Chang’an received significantly more faith power.   Not long after,   Guiming Tianjun made his move again, seizing a second chain.   ”Boom!”   Under his vast and powerful Nascent Soul power, this chain also shattered, turning into nothingness in the world.   Li Chang’an felt a sense of relief.   Although his cultivation hadn’t increased at all, he vaguely felt that the road ahead had become wider.   In the following hour, one after another, the blurry chains were torn apart.   The changes in the cultivation world became increasingly drastic.   Originally, the cultivation world consisted only of the demonic paths of the Yan Kingdom and the righteous paths of the Yuan and Zhao Kingdoms.   But now,   with countless mountains and rivers appearing,   Li Chang’an vaguely sensed that the cultivation world had expanded more than tenfold, with many unfamiliar areas appearing everywhere.   The spiritual energy of heaven and earth had also increased several times over.   From now on, if the original rules of the cultivation world remained unchanged, the path of cultivation for all cultivators would become much easier.   ”I understand, it’s sealing the heavens and locking the earth!”

Suddenly, Gu Yuhe, standing beside him, spoke, a look of realization appearing on her pretty face.

Li Chang’an immediately inquired,

“Fellow Daoist Gu, what is meant by ‘Sealing Heaven and Locking Earth’? My knowledge is limited; I’ve never heard of such a thing.”

“I don’t know much either; I heard it from a senior uncle,”

Gu Yuhe replied without reservation, explaining in detail to Li Chang’an.

The so-called “Sealing Heaven and Locking Earth” is a special technique possessed by all major immortal sects.

Once activated, it can seal off the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, conceal famous mountains and rivers, making the entire cultivation world appear smaller and barren.

However,

this technique has always been used against alien races in small worlds, never before used against the cultivation world, so few people know about it.

Gu Yuhe knew about it by chance.

Her senior uncle was a peak fifth-tier array master who had been invited to deal with alien races living in a small world.

The Dan Ding Sect wanted to subdue those alien races.

But those alien races refused to submit, unwilling to become slaves of the Dan Ding Sect.

Therefore,

the Dan Ding Sect used the “Sealing Heaven and Locking Earth” technique.

That small world originally possessed fifth-order spiritual veins and countless cultivation resources.

However, after the heavens and earth were sealed off, the spiritual energy of the entire small world plummeted, the spiritual veins collapsed, and it became barren and weak, with the path of cultivation nearly severed.

The Dan Ding Sect did this to force the alien races to submit in despair.

“I never imagined that a sect would use this technique on the cultivation world. No wonder the cultivation world is so barren now, without even fifth-order spiritual veins, and many exceptionally talented cultivators can only barely reach the Nascent Soul stage.”

After Gu Yuhe’s explanation,

Li Chang’an basically understood the purpose of this Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Technique.

He had thought that the cultivation world was constantly shrinking and would enter the era of Dharma Decline or even Dharma Extinction in many years, with no more cultivators.

But the reality was not like that.

It was all just a method of the Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord.

As long as the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Technique was removed, the scale of the cultivation world would return to that of ancient times.

“No, according to the notes of that senior from the Beast Taming Sect, the ancient cultivation world should have been much smaller than in ancient times. The cultivation world has indeed shrunk.”

Li Chang’an frowned in thought.

Could it be that the ancient cultivation world was also sealed off?

“Forget it, thinking too much is useless.”

Li Chang’an temporarily suppressed this thought.

“As long as I live long enough, I’ll eventually know all the secrets.”

Today’s upheaval in the cultivation world proved his previous thoughts.

There was no need to deliberately seek out those secrets.

Just staying alive was enough!

If he hadn’t lived to this day, he wouldn’t know that the cultivation world had been sealed off.

“The current situation is advantageous to me.”

“After the cultivation world recovers, it won’t be so barren anymore. There will be far more cultivation resources than before, and the path of cultivation will be smoother in the future.”

Li Chang’an was relaxed and not worried.

His strength was sufficient; he wasn’t a lowly ant like those at the Foundation Establishment or Qi Refining stages. Even if the rules of the cultivation world reverted to the ancient times, he could still thrive.

Of course, the same

applied to the other Nascent Soul cultivators. This upheaval benefited most Nascent Soul cultivators.

Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and the others exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat complicated.

They could also feel that the path of cultivation had become wider, no longer as difficult as before.

If nothing unexpected happens, they can all cultivate to the mid-to-late Nascent Soul stage, and may even glimpse the Divine Transformation realm.

And all of this

is thanks to their opponents.

The Old Demon Senluo laughed loudly: “Qi Jiuyang, Yu Hu, I told you long ago, as long as you give up, everyone will benefit. All the death and slaughter in this great battle will be meaningless!”

“This matter is not over yet, everything is still uncertain!”

Qi Jiuyang replied coldly.

Just then

, beneath the heavens, the Heavenly Lord Guiming suddenly shouted,

“Fellow Daoists of all sects, why haven’t you woken up yet?”
