Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 466

Chapter 466 Taking the Test, Under the Spotlight (Please Subscribe)

Over the years, Li Chang’an had obtained numerous spells and treasures to conceal his cultivation level.

Because of this,

none of the Nascent Soul cultivators in Zhao Kingdom could discern his true cultivation level.

However, his previous methods were ineffective against the Deity Transformation cultivators.

He had been worrying about this.

Unexpectedly,

a treasure casually given by Du Yi solved the problem for him.

Besides the jade tablet, Du Yi also bestowed upon him a dark stone.

“This item is called the ‘Bewitching Stone,’ which can help you deceive the lie detector.”

Hearing this, Li Chang’an was secretly delighted.

In this way, neither the killing intent of the Deity Transformation cultivator from the Ancient Wood Sect nor the lie detector seven days later posed any threat to him.

Two life-threatening tribulations, perfectly overcome!

All of this was because of Du Yi.

If it weren’t for this senior, he would likely still be desperately trying to escape pursuit.

“Thank you, senior!”

Li Chang’an held the two treasures, feeling deeply moved.

Apart from Chen Huilan back then, it seemed no senior had ever treated him so well.

Du Yi cautioned, “In the Nine Great Immortal Sects, it’s not uncommon for masters to steal their disciples’ opportunities. Your opportunity is considerable; if you wish to become an apprentice of another Nascent Soul cultivator, it’s best to first ascertain their character.”

“This junior understands!”

“Good, I’m leaving.”

With that, Du Yi vanished without a trace.

Li Chang’an, his face filled with gratitude, bowed in farewell.

“Respectfully seeing off, Senior!”

He gazed at the horizon, his heart filled with emotion.

If he were truly Du Yi’s disciple, perhaps he could obtain even more treasures.

But all of this was merely his clumsy pretense; he had finally found a master to rely on, and now that was gone.

“Never mind, I mustn’t be greedy. These two treasures are enough for me to cultivate smoothly in the future immortal world.”

Li Chang’an sighed inwardly, refining the two treasures.

He hung the jade tablet before him, adjusted his aura, and lowered his cultivation to the early Golden Core stage. In

the immortal world after the return of the Nine Great Immortal Sects, Golden Core cultivators were everywhere, no longer considered high-level, but merely mid-level figures; early Golden Core cultivation was not particularly remarkable.

After this…

He used two clones, one going to the Azure Dragon Sect and the other to the Purple Cloud Sect’s secret realms.

In the Purple Cloud Sect’s secret realm, the fifth-tier Beast Taming Wheel was preparing to leave.

“Senior, are you planning to return to the Beast Taming

Sect?” “Yes, I’ve been waiting for the Beast Taming Sect’s return.”

The spirit, disguised as a child, bid farewell to Li Chang’an.

“The Beast Taming Sect has a fifth-tier weapon refiner; it won’t be long before I recover.”

“Then I congratulate you in advance, Senior.” “

Li Chang’an, your talent is remarkable. Would you be willing to come with me to the Beast Taming Sect?”

the spirit suddenly asked.

He solemnly stated that his promise from years ago remained unchanged.

If Li Chang’an was willing to go to the Beast Taming Sect with him, he would introduce him to a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord, helping Li Chang’an become a Heavenly Lord disciple.

“With your talent, even if you can’t become a direct disciple, becoming a nominal disciple wouldn’t be difficult. Once you have the identity of a ‘Heavenly Lord disciple,’ few in the entire cultivation world would dare to provoke you.”

“Thank you for your kindness, Senior.”

Li Chang’an politely declined.

Du Yi’s parting words still echoed in his ears.

This senior hadn’t said much, but since he intentionally brought up the matter of “masters stealing disciples’ opportunities,” it meant this was extremely common in the Nine Great Immortal Sects.

The Nine Great Immortal Sects were ultimately the kind of demonic sects where the strong preyed on the weak. Although they claimed they would change, the character of their many disciples was unlikely to change in a short time.

Li Chang’an preferred to stay on Changqing Mountain, a free and unrestrained cultivator.

The artifact spirit frowned: “Are you really not willing to become a Nascent Soul cultivator? Countless people outside crave such an opportunity, but none can find the way. Once the opportunity is missed, it will be hard to find again.”

“This junior is a free cultivator by nature, naturally carefree, and accustomed to an unrestrained life.”

“Fine, do as you please.”

The artifact spirit didn’t try to persuade him further, only indicating that it would keep this opportunity.

If Li Chang’an changed his mind in the future, he could always go to him.

Of course,

even if he didn’t change his mind, he could still go to him for a chat and reminisce.

“Li Chang’an, I don’t know many people in this cultivation world, but you’re one of them. Remember to visit me at the Beast Taming Sect in the future.”

With that, the spirit rode the massive Beast Taming Wheel, slowly rising from the ruins.

Rumble…

After ninety thousand years, the Beast Taming Wheel once again unleashed its power, traversing the vast sky and instantly leaving the secret realm.

“Respectfully bidding farewell, Senior.”

Li Chang’an bowed, bidding farewell to the Beast Taming Wheel.

Before leaving, the Beast Taming Wheel took all the treasures from the ruins, leaving only the opening token for a cave dwelling.

That cave dwelling contained fourth-grade high-quality earth fire.

Li Chang’an could use it for both weapon crafting and alchemy in the future.

…

Meanwhile.

Azure Dragon Sect Secret Realm.

Li Chang’an bid farewell to the Pill Cauldron Sect puppet guarding the spirit herb garden.

This puppet was named Meng Qingfeng, who also wanted to introduce Li Chang’an to a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord as a master, but Li Chang’an politely declined.

A short while later, Meng Qingfeng departed with all the spirit herbs.

In the following days,

the entire cultivation world gradually calmed down.

The cultivators from the original Yan, Yuan, and Zhao kingdoms had largely adapted to the new world.

Of course, not everyone could fully adapt.

During this period,

many people were killed.

Many of those killed had obtained the core inheritances of the nine great immortal sects.

Some people shared Li Chang’an’s previous thoughts, unwilling to enter the immortal sects, and planned to escape to a place unknown to anyone, to live out their lives in anonymity.

However, no matter how far they fled, they couldn’t escape the pursuit of the Nascent Soul Celestial Lord.

Among the nine great immortal sects, the Ancient Wood Sect had killed the most.

Many Nascent Soul cultivators from the Ancient Wood

Sect not only killed outsiders who cultivated the core inheritance, but also cultivators suspected of obtaining the spiritual roots of heaven and earth. Countless people in the original Three Kingdoms cultivation world had met untimely deaths.

“When a Nascent Soul cultivator makes a move, almost no one can survive.”

Li Chang’an looked intently at the messages in his hand.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar name.

Ye Hao!

The message indicated that Ye Hao was also being hunted.

The person hunting him was a renowned Nascent Soul cultivator.

The Blissful Celestial Lord!

This Celestial Lord had extremely high cultivation, reaching the late Nascent Soul stage, much higher than Du Yi and Mu Teng.

“Why is he hunting Ye Hao? Could it be that Ye Hao obtained the core inheritance of the Netherworld Prison Sect?”

Li Chang’an frowned and continued to browse other messages.

Soon, a hint of surprise appeared in his heart.

“Ye Hao actually blocked a Nascent Soul cultivator’s attack?”

This news was truly astonishing.

Ye Hao was merely a Golden Core cultivator. Although he liked to conceal his cultivation level, he had only reached the peak of the Golden Core stage at most. How could he withstand a strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator?

Yet the message was very clear.

Early this morning,

Ye Hao appeared in the Netherworld Domain, seemingly searching for some treasure.

Not long after, the Blissful Heavenly Lord appeared, unleashing his Nascent Soul power without reservation, attempting to kill Ye Hao.

This scene was witnessed by many cultivators of the Netherworld Sect.

If it were any other Golden Core cultivator, they would surely be annihilated, but Ye Hao was completely unharmed, even managing to escape under the pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator using an escape treasure, right under the nose of the Blissful Heavenly Lord.

“Is this guy defying the heavens?”

Li Chang’an frowned, reviewing the numerous messages repeatedly.

Subsequently, he gathered more information through other channels, confirming that the matter was true.

This matter had already spread throughout the entire cultivation world.

Almost every immortal city and market in the nine domains was discussing it.

Along with it,

countless rumors followed.

It is said that the reason why the Heavenly Lord of Bliss attacked Ye Hao was because Ye Hao killed one of the Heavenly Lord’s descendants.

There are also rumors that Ye Hao possesses the soul of the Heavenly Lord of Bliss’s master!

Some reveal that the Heavenly Lord of Bliss’s master possessed extremely high cultivation in his lifetime, already at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and even having taken a significant step forward, possibly breaking through to the next realm.

Just as he was focusing on his breakthrough, the Heavenly Lord of Bliss, who was protecting him, suddenly attacked, causing his immediate death.

However,

his soul escaped and chose Ye Hao as his disciple, intending to train Ye Hao to avenge him.

“Does Ye Hao really have an old grandfather inside him?”

Li Chang’an pondered to himself.

If this were true, all the strange things about Ye Hao could be explained.

Ye Hao’s talent was extremely poor; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been rejected by the Qingyun Sect back then. However, his cultivation progress was consistently fast, even becoming a Golden Core cultivator earlier than Li Chang’an.

“Hopefully he can survive this ordeal.”

Li Chang’an tried to divine Ye Hao’s fate with his fingers, but still couldn’t figure it out.

He withdrew his divination power and continued to look at the other messages.

Several messages caught his attention.

“The Yin-Yang Sect learned that Lin Fan, a rogue cultivator from Zhao, had learned a fragment of the Yin-Yang Sword Formation and wanted to kill him, but the Xuanqi Sect’s Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord intervened, and the Yin-Yang Sect gave up the pursuit.”

Upon seeing this message, Li Chang’an’s gaze sharpened.

Fortunately, Lin Fan was just a disguised clone of his, and the Xuanqi Sect was willing to intervene on his behalf.

Because he only cultivated a fragmented array, and with the guarantee of a Nascent Soul Celestial Lord, the Yin-Yang Sect only warned him not to spread this technique.

At the end of the message was a comment from the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Mystic Artifact Sect:

【Tai’an, return to your sect soon】

Li Chang’an’s gaze lingered on this sentence for a moment.

He shook his head slightly: “As Li Tai’an, I’ve never had any interaction with any Nascent Soul cultivator. I don’t know what their purpose is. I can’t go back.”

Then, he looked at another message.

This message was related to his false identity, “Li Fan.”

The Netherworld Sect announced that they invited Li Fan to join the sect as an external affairs elder.

In this message, the Netherworld Sect stated that Li Fan’s various grudges with the demonic path were insignificant, and the sect needed talent like Li Fan.

“If I go to the Netherworld Sect, I’m afraid I’ll be used as waste material.”

Li Chang’an wasn’t tempted by the various conditions promised by the Netherworld Sect.

Even the best treasures are useless if you can’t get them!

He shifted his gaze to examine another message.

“A disciple of the Divine Talisman Sect violated the rules of the black market after making a transaction and was killed by the local black market administrator.”

“The Divine Talisman Sect was furious and wanted to eradicate the black market, but the matter was dropped.”

“That black market still exists…”

Upon seeing this news, Li Chang’an pondered.

Could there be a Nascent Soul expert behind the black market?

If not,

perhaps all the black markets in the cultivation world would have been reduced to ashes by the Divine Talisman Sect!

“It seems I underestimated the black market before. This organization is hiding considerable strength. I wonder what their ultimate goal is.”

Li Chang’an pondered silently, continuing to browse other news.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day,

a rainbow streaked across the sky and landed outside the main hall of the Purple Cloud Sect.

The newcomer wore an ice-blue robe, had fair skin, and a flawless face. She was one of the two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Myriad Arrays Sect who had previously visited the Purple Cloud Sect.

Yao Lanqin, an early Nascent Soul cultivator and a disciple of Luo Yutianjun.

She had come today to conduct a lie detector test on everyone.

Those undergoing the test

included not only members of the Purple Cloud Sect.

There were also disciples from the other seven major Nascent Soul factions of the righteous path.

They were all summoned here, somewhat apprehensive, awaiting the start of the test.

Yao Lanqin sat in a high position, took out a precious mirror, and placed it in the hall.

Her pretty face was indifferent as she spoke calmly: “This mirror is called the ‘Heavenly Heart Mirror,’ a fifth-tier treasure, capable of detecting the truthfulness of words.”

“You all still have a chance. If you have cultivated the core inheritance of an immortal sect, simply stand up and admit it, and I will send you to your respective sects to undergo disciple assessments.”

“If you do not admit it, and the Heavenly Heart Mirror discovers that you are lying, I will kill you on the spot.” As

soon as these words were spoken, a chilling killing intent swept out, like a cold wind sweeping through, filling the hall and its surroundings with a murderous atmosphere.

Almost all the cultivators lowered their heads, not daring to meet her gaze.

At this moment,

another rainbow light pierced the sky and landed outside the hall.

The newcomer was Tong Hu, also a disciple of the Nascent Soul Heavenly Monarch Luo Yu.

His expression was stern, and he carried two Golden Core cultivators covered in blood, throwing them in front of everyone.

“Does anyone recognize these two?”

Upon seeing these two, the expressions of those present subtly changed.

Although these two were only Golden Core cultivators, they were quite famous in both righteous kingdoms. One was the Holy Son of the Xuanwu Sect, and the other was the Third Prince of the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty.

Both were prodigies, and if nothing unexpected happened, they had the potential to reach the Nascent Soul stage in the future. Now, however, they were beaten to the point of near death, like two dead dogs, thrown before the crowd.

Tong Hu coldly said, “These two learned the core techniques of my Myriad Array Sect, but refused to come to the Myriad Array Sect to accept the disciple assessment. Instead, they tried to change their identities and hide. According to the rules, they should be killed!” As

soon as he finished speaking,

their bodies exploded simultaneously, and they died instantly!

Much of the Third Prince’s blood splattered onto Qi Jiuyang’s face, leaving him covered in blood.

Then, Tong Hu summoned their souls and, in front of everyone, tortured them with soul-refining techniques until their souls were completely scattered, vanishing into nothingness.

Such cruel methods would have been considered demonic cultivation in the past.

But now, no one dared to say anything.

Tong Hu’s sharp gaze swept over Qi Jiuyang and the old tortoise.

“Qi Jiuyang, Bi Ling Turtle, do you two have any objections?”

“No objections.”

Qi Jiuyang remained expressionless, revealing neither joy nor sorrow, only offering praise.

“The Envoy did a good job!”

the old tortoise echoed.

“Thank you for your intervention, Envoy. Such a person who breaks the rules deserves to be treated this way.”

Hearing their words, Tong Hu snorted coldly, turned, and stepped into the main hall, taking his seat on the high throne.

His eyes were icy as he swept over everyone.

“You have all seen the consequences of stealing inheritances. This is your last chance. Don’t think your little tricks can deceive the Heavenly Heart Mirror!”

“Furthermore, if you know of anyone who has stolen inheritances, you can report them to me. Once verified, there will be a generous reward!”

Hearing this, everyone kept their heads down, and the hall remained quiet.

At this moment,

Liu Haichao secretly transmitted his voice.

“Senior, Elder Li Chang’an of my Zixia Sect has exceptionally good fortune and many opportunities. Although he is only a Golden Core cultivator, he has managed to remain unharmed several times despite being targeted by Nascent Soul True Monarchs. I suspect he has obtained some of the core inheritances of the Nine Great Immortal Sects.”

“Alright, I understand.”

Tong Hu nodded slightly and glanced at Li Chang’an.

Li Chang’an had already sensed something but remained silent, offering no rebuttal.

About half an hour later, representatives from all the major forces had arrived, and the lie detector test officially began.

The Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the eight major forces were the first to undergo the lie detector test.

Azure Dragon True Monarch walked calmly to the Heavenly Heart Mirror and accepted Tong Hu’s interrogation.

“Azure Dragon, have you obtained the core inheritances of my Myriad Array Sect?”

“No.”

Azure Dragon replied calmly and frankly.

Before him, the Heavenly Heart Mirror showed no reaction.

Afterwards,

Tong Hu asked more than ten questions, but the Heavenly Heart Mirror remained unresponsive.

This meant that

True Monarch Qinglong had successfully passed the lie detector test.

Following him, Mingxia, Zhuque, and others were interrogated by Tong Hu in turn, all passing successfully.

Finally, it was True Monarch Fusheng’s turn.

Tong Hu’s expression softened, and his tone became much calmer.

“Fellow Daoist Fusheng, my master once said that you do not need to undergo the test. If you wish to see the core inheritance of my Myriad Array Sect, you can go to the Myriad Array Sect at any time to obtain it.”

“Alright, please thank Senior Luo for me.”

True Monarch Fusheng nodded slightly and slowly withdrew.

Subsequently,

many Golden Core cultivators stepped forward to be interrogated.

Jiang Muyu, Chi Qingwu, Mu Hongyu, and others passed in turn without any problems.

Everything went smoothly, to the point that everyone doubted whether the Heavenly Heart Mirror was even useful.

Just then,

the Heavenly Heart Mirror suddenly shone brightly.

The cultivator standing before the mirror paled, about to flee, but was instantly suppressed by Tong Hu.

This man was Xiao Jun, son of Xiao Minghe, the current sect leader of the Zixia Sect. He had passed the first few questions smoothly, but encountered an unexpected problem when answering questions related to the “Beast Taming Sect.”

Tong Hu coldly questioned, “Xiao Jun, did you steal the core inheritance of the Beast Taming Sect?”

Xiao Jun’s face turned pale as he tried to defend himself.

“I didn’t steal it. It was a fragment I found in the ruins of the Beast Taming Sect, a personal stroke of luck.”

“Soliciting nonsense! You deserve to die!”

Tong Hu slammed his hand down, instantly turning Xiao Jun into a bloody mist.

His soul was also summoned, tortured to the point of dissipation, with no chance of reincarnation.

This horrifying scene silenced many Golden Core cultivators.

A trace of grief flashed in Xiao Minghe’s eyes, but he said nothing, simply bowing his head in silence.

A moment later, the test continued.

Within a short hour, two more people were found to have problems and were killed on the spot.

Soon…

It was Li Chang’an’s turn.

In that instant, most eyes were fixed on him.

Many people had doubts about Li Chang’an, after all, he had survived being targeted by both the Holy Flame True Monarch and the Azure Sky True Monarch.

Zi Xi’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she watched his figure, a hint of worry in her voice.

She knew Li Chang’an was a steady and reliable man; he wouldn’t have come to be interrogated without certainty.

But this time, the enemies were different.

Facing the Divine Transformation Immortal Sect, all methods were useless!

Besides her, Old Turtle, Lin Xuanyan, Mu Hongyu, and others were also somewhat worried.

Liu Haichao and Mu Chen, on the other hand, were filled with anticipation, seemingly impatient to see Li Chang’an beaten to a pulp.

Under everyone’s gaze, Li Chang’an calmly approached the Heavenly Heart Mirror.

Tong Hu coldly demanded, “Are you Li Chang’an?”

“Yes, greetings, senior.”

“Li Chang’an, have you stolen any of the core inheritances of my Myriad Array Sect?”

“No.”

Li Chang’an remained calm, showing no sign of panic.

Before him, the Heavenly Heart Mirror remained unchanged, showing no alteration.
