Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 465

Chapter 465 The Pursuit of the Nascent Soul Stage, Li Chang’an’s Master (Please Subscribe)

“My true body wasn’t in the Zixia Sect, nor in Changqing Mountain; it had been hiding in the Black Dragon Mountain Range, impossible to deduce. Why was I still killed?”

Li Chang’an pondered, looking at the divination results.

Could a fifth-tier diviner possibly predict his hiding place?

“No, my thinking is too narrow.”

“A Nascent Soul Transformation Heavenly Lord possesses powerful divine sense; perhaps a single thought could sweep across the entire Zhao Kingdom. No matter where I hide, it’s useless!”

Li Chang’an took a deep breath, realizing his mistake.

He ultimately didn’t understand the Nascent Soul Transformation realm.

The Zhao Kingdom was indeed vast; even a Nascent Soul True Lord would spend an extremely long time searching for someone within its expanse. But

the Nascent Soul Transformation realm was different.

The scene of the Returning Nether Heavenly Lord grasping the entire Yan Kingdom’s territory with a single hand was still vivid

in his mind. In the past, Li Chang’an had always relied on his inability to be deduced, maintaining a sense of confidence.

Even if he provoked a powerful enemy, it wouldn’t matter; he could simply find a place to hide, and the enemy wouldn’t be able to find him anyway.

But now,

the power of a Nascent Soul Celestial Lord made this old method unworkable.

The enemy didn’t need to hire a diviner; with their terrifying divine sense, they could quickly find Li Chang’an by exploring the entire cultivation world.

“I have to change my thinking; I can’t rely on the old methods anymore, or I’ll die a violent death one day,”

Li Chang’an understood.

Even if he hid outside of Zhao, it wouldn’t be useful. If

the enemy couldn’t find him in Zhao, they would inevitably explore the surrounding area.

With the power of a Nascent

Soul cultivator, finding him was only a matter of time. Unless he hid in some dangerous area that even a Nascent Soul Celestial Lord wouldn’t dare to forcibly enter.

But this method was too risky; he might perish in the danger before the Nascent Soul Celestial Lord even found him.

“If I were skilled in disguise and could perfectly impersonate other cultivators, perhaps I could fool the Nascent Soul stage.”

“But my disguise skills might fool a Nascent Soul cultivator, not a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.”

Upon realizing this, Li Chang’an immediately understood how simplistic his previous thoughts on the lie detector had been.

He had originally thought that as long as he concealed his identity and cultivated under a different guise, he could avoid the lie detector test.

Now, he realized

that escape was futile!

No matter where he fled, no matter how many false identities he adopted, the Nascent Soul sects would eventually find out.

Therefore, both the lie detector test in seven days and the upcoming Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord from the Ancient Wood Sect were calamities for him!

Two calamities in a row!

“No wonder I’ve been uneasy. After the return of the Nine Great Immortal Sects, although the world is more suitable for cultivation, there are also more troubles.”

Li Chang’an sighed inwardly. Without the divination’s warning, these would have been two certain deaths.

Even with the warning, these two calamities would still be difficult to overcome.

Ultimately, it was because he possessed too many treasures and secrets, and lacked powerful strength and a strong backer.

“How can I survive these two tribulations?”

He suppressed other distracting thoughts and pondered seriously.

In a short time, he simply couldn’t match a Nascent Soul cultivator; he could only find a backer.

“The black market has always been mysterious, but it hasn’t revealed any Nascent Soul strength yet, so this path is temporarily unfeasible.”

“The Mo family is also out of the question.”

Li Chang’an quickly dismissed both options.

Although the Mo family had a Nascent Soul cultivator, they wouldn’t risk going against the Ancient Wood Sect for a Golden Core cultivator like him; they would simply hand him over.

Moreover, before he was handed over, he would likely suffer interrogation and torture from the Mo family.

“Given Li Tai’an’s status, returning to the Profound Artifact Sect should be feasible.”

“However, Li Tai’an himself has no backer; relying solely on his status as an elder of the Profound Artifact Sect, it would be difficult to withstand the pressure from a Nascent Soul cultivator of the Ancient Wood Sect.”

“Ultimately, I still need a backer…”

After much thought, Li Chang’an finally made a decision.

Find a master!

Only a Nascent Soul cultivator could contend with another Nascent Soul cultivator!

Li Ping’an’s Nascent Soul master, Du Yi, was the most powerful backer he could find.

“I possess all of Li Ping’an’s memories and can perfectly mimic his demeanor and mannerisms, only the appearance is different. This can be explained by the Hidden World Coffin, since the bodies of all resurrected cultivators are not their original bodies.”

Li Chang’an felt that this plan should work.

Faced with the killing intent of the Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord, all methods were risky, and he could only choose the one with the least risk.

With this in mind,

he immediately used his divination power to deduce.

Soon, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the original ominous hexagram had disappeared and turned into a neutral one.

“It really works!”

Li Chang’an felt a little relieved and let out a long sigh of relief.

He immediately left the main hall, found a secluded place, and self-destructed this clone to avoid being captured alive by the Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord.

Subsequently, the clone he left in Changqing Mountain also self-destructed.

He himself did not hesitate at all, directly using the Realm Rift Talisman to disappear into the depths of the Black Dragon Mountain Range.

The next moment,

he left the territory of the Zhao Kingdom and entered another region.

“The Wanzhen Sect’s mountain gate is still quite far from here; we need to get there as soon as possible.”

“Luckily, there’s a teleportation array.”

In the current Nine Domains, many areas have teleportation arrays.

The cultivation world is too vast; without teleportation arrays, even Nascent Soul cultivators would waste time traveling.

Of course, teleportation is very expensive, costing at least one top-grade spirit stone each time.

If not necessary, many Nascent Soul cultivators would rather waste time than consume spirit stones.

For Li Chang’an,

now is the crucial moment!

He changed his appearance to Li Ping’an, rushed to the nearest teleportation array, found the person in charge of the teleportation array, paid one top-grade spirit stone and a bag of high-grade spirit stones, and disappeared in the light of the teleportation array.

When he reappeared, he was already standing on another teleportation array.

This array was located in the central area of the Wanzhen Domain, not far from the Wanzhen Sect’s mountain gate.

“If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to see Du Yi… no, Master.”

Li Chang’an adjusted his mindset, recalling Li Ping’an’s demeanor and actions in his mind to ensure nothing was missed.

…

Meanwhile.

In the main hall of the Mu family in Red Leaf Valley.

A man in a green robe stood with his hands behind his back. Although he possessed no aura of a cultivator, his presence made the countless Mu family members in the hall feel suffocated.

“Senior, please have some tea.”

Mu Xiaoqing nervously offered the Mu family’s finest spiritual tea.

The man in the green robe did not accept it, but simply said, “I’ve heard that the Mu family possessed a Heavenly Spiritual Root?”

“Yes, but that Heavenly Spiritual Root has already perished.”

“Hmm?”

The man in the green robe frowned slightly, his gaze suddenly turning cold, like two sharp blades piercing Mu Xiaoqing’s sea of consciousness.

Mu Xiaoqing trembled, standing there blankly.

The man in the green robe said, “I’ll ask, you answer.”

Mu Xiaoqing replied in a daze, “Okay.”

“What did that Heavenly Spiritual Root look like?”

“It resembled an orchid, with nine leaves.”

“So it was a Nine-Leaf Sword Orchid.”

Next, the man in the green robe asked more than ten questions in a row.

Most of the answers he received were related to one name:

Mu Yuanchen!

This man had saved the Mu family from disaster and was the one who declared the Nine-Leaf Sword Orchid dead.

However, as one of the Mu family’s Golden Core cultivators, he had vanished without a trace, even his soul lamp was gone, leaving no trace of his presence.

The man in the green robe then questioned all the Mu family’s high-ranking members.

Among the many answers, another name appeared frequently.

“Li Chang’an?”

“Yes, senior, Fellow Daoist Li has secretly traded Azure Profound Spirit Liquid with us many times…”

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Mu family murmured softly, as if in a dream, recounting their transactions with Li Chang’an.

After the questioning, they all awoke, looking at each other in shock.

They couldn’t imagine what level of cultivation this man in the green robe possessed.

Before him, even a Golden Core ancestor like Mu Xiaoqing had no power to resist, like an ant.

At this moment,

the man in the green robe tossed out a disciple token.

Before the token even hit the ground, his figure had already disappeared, leaving only a detached statement.

“Mu Xiaoqing, you possess a spiritual body, you may become my disciple. I am Mu Teng, a Nascent Soul cultivator of the Ancient Wood Sect.”

“Yes, disciple respectfully sees off Master.”

Mu Xiaoqing accepted the token, bowed deeply towards the outside of the hall, her heart filled with complex emotions.

Being accepted as a disciple by a Nascent Soul cultivator should have made her happy.

But she knew in her heart that

her previous answers, along with those of the other members of the Mu family, would likely bring Li Chang’an a life-or-death ordeal.

Thinking of this, she immediately took out her communication jade pendant and sent a message to Li Chang’an.

“Fellow Daoist Li, Mu Teng, the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Ancient Wood Sect, should be looking for you. Do not lie to him.”

Upon hearing this news, Li Chang’an was not worried, for he had already arrived at the Wanzhen Sect’s mountain gate.

This mountain gate was exactly as Li Ping’an remembered; behind it were celestial mountains shrouded in mist, countless pavilions and palaces appearing and disappearing in the clouds.

Li Chang’an found a patrolling disciple, gave him a bag of spirit stones, and asked him to help deliver the message.

“Senior brother, I am Li Ping’an, a disciple of Du Yitianjun. I survived to this world through the Hidden World Coffin. I heard that my master is still alive and wish to reunite with him.”

“A disciple of a Heavenly Lord?”

Upon hearing this, the patrolling disciple dared not delay.

He immediately transformed into a beam of light and hurriedly headed towards the depths of the sect.

Not long after,

a gray-robed man suddenly appeared before Li Chang’an.

This man had an ordinary appearance and a restrained aura, seemingly just an ordinary mortal, but he possessed a unique charisma—he was none other than Li Ping’an’s master.

“Master!”

Li Chang’an feigned excitement, completely embodying Li Ping’an’s character, confident in his flawless performance.

“Master, you once said that if fate allowed, we, master and disciple, would meet again.”

“Hmm.”   Du Yi

looked at him, his expression unchanged, though a subtle, complex emotion flickered in his eyes.

He flicked his sleeve, lifting Li Chang’an’s body and instantly transporting him to the depths of the Myriad Array Sect.

“Tell me, what trouble did you get into?”

Hearing this, Li Chang’an felt reassured.

Du Yi clearly hadn’t noticed his problem; otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked such a question and would have killed him on the spot.

He scratched his head: “Master, how did you know I got into trouble?”

“If you hadn’t, you wouldn’t have come looking for me.”

“Master, since I awoke, I’ve been longing to reunite with you. Even if I hadn’t caused any trouble, I would still have come to find you.”

Li Chang’an smiled awkwardly, continuing to mimic Li Ping’an’s demeanor, appearing somewhat embarrassed.

Then, he explained the purpose of his visit.

“Master, my current body has extremely poor cultivation talent. My spiritual root is of low grade, and I have no spiritual body to rely on. I’m just an ordinary rogue cultivator. Without a fortuitous opportunity, I can

only cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage at most.” He spoke sincerely, recounting the hardships of his cultivation over the years.

“I worry that my cultivation level is too low, and my lifespan won’t be long enough to see you again. I wanted to improve my spiritual root, but you didn’t give me a method to do so back then. Fortunately, I unexpectedly found the Ancient Wood Sect’s cultivation method.”

“The Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique?”

“Yes, that’s the technique I’m currently cultivating.”

Li Chang’an unleashed his Evergreen Magic Power to demonstrate to Du Yi.

He continued, “I’m quite lucky. Not only did I obtain the Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique, but I also acquired a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root.”

He paused here.

Seeing that Du Yi didn’t ask any questions, he took out the Eternal Evergreen Vine and continued.

“Master, to enhance my spiritual root, I purchased many treasures for cultivating the Eternal Evergreen Vine. This matter has been discovered by Mu Teng, the Nascent Soul Celestial Lord of the Ancient Wood Sect. He will most likely suspect that I possess a Heavenly Spiritual Root.”

“Alright, I understand.”

Du Yi nodded slightly, his words calm.

“Put away the Eternal Evergreen Vine and come with me to see Mu Teng.”

“Yes!”

Li Chang’an was completely relieved.

It seemed that Du Yi intended to help him resolve this trouble.

“Having a master is indeed a good feeling. I don’t need to scheme myself. After this matter is over, perhaps I can enjoy the life of a second-generation immortal.”

In high spirits, he put away the Eternal Evergreen Vine and followed Du Yi away from the Myriad Array Sect.

Not long after,

the two arrived at the cultivation world of Zhao Kingdom and landed on Evergreen Mountain.

Li Chang’an took out the prepared spiritual tea and boiled it with spiritual spring water.

“Master, please have some tea.”

“Hmm.”

Du Yi nodded slightly, but did not pick up the teacup, only looking at the horizon.

Not long after, a man in a green robe appeared.

It was Mu Teng!

He stood outside Changqing Mountain, his green robe fluttering in the wind, his gaze sweeping over Li Chang’an, his brows furrowing slightly.

“Fellow Daoist Du, do you know this boy?”

“Fellow Daoist Mu, what brings you here?”

Du Yi asked calmly, countering with a question.

Mu Teng revealed his purpose: “This boy seems to possess a rare spiritual root. He’s merely a low-grade spiritual root cultivator, yet he’s managed to cultivate to the Golden Core stage in this sealed-off cultivation world. I suspect he’s practicing the Ancient Evergreen Technique.”

Du Yi replied calmly, “Fellow Daoist Mu, the Ancient Evergreen Technique was merely a technique accidentally obtained by a predecessor of the Ancient Wood Sect; it’s not unique to the Ancient Wood Sect.”

“Fellow Daoist Du, do you intend to protect this boy?”

“That’s right.”

Both men spoke frankly, without any probing, explaining their intentions in a few words.

One wanted to kill, the other to protect.

Mu Teng remained silent for a moment.

His gaze sharpened as he stared at Du Yi, and he slowly spoke.

“Fellow Daoist Du, it’s been ninety thousand years since we last met. We’ve both rebuilt our cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage. I wonder how your strength compares to what it was back then?”

“We’ll find out soon enough.”

Du Yi’s attitude was clear, without any unnecessary words.

With that, their figures vanished one after the other.

Li Chang’an, with his strength, couldn’t even detect their movements, and had no idea where they had gone.

The next instant.

A loud explosion suddenly rang out from the sky.

“Boom!”

The entire world trembled.

Countless people were awakened, filled with unease, staring at the dark sky, feeling that a great calamity was about to befall them.

Fortunately, after the explosion, everything quieted down, and nothing else happened.

A moment later.

The two figures reappeared on Changqing Mountain.

Du Yi was still as usual, his aura stable and unchanged.

But Mu Teng’s green robe was torn at one corner, and his aura was more chaotic than before, clearly indicating that he had suffered a loss in the fight.

“I never imagined that after ninety thousand years, I would still be no match for you.”

“Let’s settle this matter here. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Mu?”

“Very well.”

Mu Teng, his face grim, turned and left, never once looking at Li Chang’an again.

Once far from Changqing Mountain,

his face instantly turned deathly pale. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his body swaying slightly.

“Du Yi!”

He wiped the blood from his mouth, glancing back at Changqing Mountain.

“My current body possesses even greater talent than in my previous life, my spirit has awakened multiple times, yet why am I still no match for him? Am I destined to be suppressed by him in this life?”

“I wonder what his relationship is with that kid…”

He took a deep breath, withdrew his gaze, and moved away from the Zhao Kingdom’s cultivation world.

…

Meanwhile.

Changqing Mountain.

Li Chang’an remained calm, but secretly rejoiced.

Before the battle began, he was somewhat worried. After all, both Du Yi and Mu Teng were early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, their cultivation levels were the same, and the outcome was likely uncertain.

He never expected that Du Yi would defeat Mu Teng in such a short time.

“My master’s strength is truly remarkable; he can easily defeat a cultivator of the same level.”

The stronger Du Yi was, the higher Li Chang’an’s status as a disciple would be, and the easier it would be for him to obtain various cultivation resources.

This was one of the reasons for Li Chang’an’s joy.

He stepped forward, his expression sincere, and bowed deeply to Du Yi.

“Thank you, Master!”

“No need to call me Master; I know you are not him.”

Hearing this, Li Chang’an was startled.

He thought he had disguised himself very well, without any flaws. His demeanor and behavior were exactly the same as Li Ping’an’s back then. Why was he seen through?

Could it be that Du Yi was just bluffing him?

He secretly used his divination power, and the result was still neutral, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment,

Du Yi spoke again.

His tone was still very calm, without the slightest hint of anger.

“Ping An’s failed possession means our master-disciple relationship is over. We will never be master and disciple again in this life, but perhaps we will in the next. You don’t need to worry; this matter is none of your concern.”

Hearing this, Li Chang’an remained silent for a moment.

At this point, his pretense was meaningless.

“Senior, why did you help me?”

“I saw his shadow in you. You are different from him, but very similar.”

“Thank you, Senior.”

Li Chang’an bowed again.

This senior knew he wasn’t Li Ping’an, yet he was still willing to help him; his magnanimity was truly extraordinary.

“Senior, how can I repay you?”

“Don’t think too much; you can’t help me.”

Du Yi shook his head slightly, his eyes deep, gazing towards the east of the cultivation world, as if trying to see something, and sighed inwardly.

Seeing this, Li Chang’an suddenly remembered a rumor.

It was said that this senior originally had both a son and a daughter, but his son died unexpectedly, and his daughter, due to ideological differences, turned against him and joined the Immortal Extermination Alliance.

This rumor must be true.

If he could persuade his daughter to return and reconcile with her, that would be the best way to repay him.

However, Li Chang’an knew he probably didn’t have that ability right now, so he could only remember this favor for now.

Just then,

Du Yi suddenly produced a jade token.

Li Chang’an caught the token, somewhat puzzled: “Senior, what is this for?”

“This jade token can conceal your cultivation level,”

Du Yi said calmly, explaining its purpose.

“Your peak Golden Core cultivation level might fool a Nascent Soul cultivator, but it won’t fool a Deity Transformation cultivator.”
