Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 467
Chapter 467 Slaying an Old Enemy, the Truth of What Happened Back Then (Seeking Subscriptions)
The Heavenly Heart Mirror remained unchanged, indicating that Li Chang’an had successfully passed the question.
Tong Hu’s gaze was cold and sharp, like a cold blade scraping across his face, not missing a single subtle expression.
“Li Chang’an, have you secretly learned the core inheritance of the Dan Ding Sect?”
“No.”
Li Chang’an answered frankly.
Although his skills were related to all nine immortal sects, only the Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique and the Yin-Yang Sword Formation could be considered core inheritances.
Even without obtaining Du Yi’s treasure, he was still able to pass the question.
Subsequently, he was interrogated with several questions in succession, but the Heavenly Heart Mirror did not react at all.
Tong Hu quickly inquired about the Ancient Wood Sect’s inheritance.
Under the protection of the treasure, Li Chang’an successfully deceived the Heavenly Heart Mirror.
Finally.
All the questions ended, and Li Chang’an was unharmed.
Tong Hu waved his hand: “Retreat.”
“Yes.”
Li Chang’an’s expression was calm as he retreated among the many Golden Core cultivators.
This result relieved Zi Xi and the others.
At the same time, they were also somewhat surprised.
If Li Chang’an hadn’t learned the core inheritances of the Nine Great Immortal Sects, why were his methods so astonishing?
“It seems Fellow Daoist Li is simply gifted; his comprehension of various cultivation techniques far surpasses that of ordinary people.”
“It’s a pity his spiritual root is too poor. If he doesn’t obtain the core techniques of the Nine Great Immortal Sects, he won’t be able to improve his spiritual root, and he’ll likely never reach the Nascent Soul stage in this lifetime.”
Zi Xi sighed inwardly.
Anyone could see that Li Chang’an’s potential in cultivation had been exhausted.
After so many years of Core Formation, he remained stuck at the early Golden Core stage. Even in today’s cultivation world with its richer resources, it would be difficult for him to cultivate to the later stages, let alone reach the Nascent Soul stage.
Because of this,
Bai Hu, Huang Sha, and the others didn’t take Li Chang’an seriously.
Those without the talent to reach the Nascent Soul stage weren’t qualified to make them apologize.
Several hours later,
everyone underwent lie detector tests.
Several more were found to have problems and died at Tong Hu’s hands.
After the tests, Tong Hu put away the Heavenly Heart Mirror and glanced at everyone.
“Alright, from now on, everyone can cultivate with peace of mind.”
“Thank you for your trouble, Envoy!”
Everyone spoke in unison, their tone full of respect.
Tong Hu nodded slightly, said nothing more, put away the Heavenly Heart Mirror, and transformed into a rainbow light, departing.
Yao Lanqin remained in the main hall, discussing another matter.
She had come today not only to detect lies, but also to record the cultivators of various forces.
All cultivators from each force, whether they were Nascent Soul, Golden Core, Foundation Establishment, or Qi Refining, had to be reported to the Myriad Array Sect, with no omissions or deceptions allowed.
Soon.
The leaders of each force stepped forward one by one to report the situation of their respective forces’ cultivators.
True Monarch Mingxia, representing the Purple Cloud Sect, slowly spoke: “The Purple Cloud Sect currently has three Nascent Soul cultivators. My cultivation is the highest, at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, and the other two…”
After her, Qi Jiuyang, Wang Yannian, True Monarch Qinglong, and others spoke one after another.
Not long after.
Li Chang’an also stepped forward on behalf of Changqing Mountain.
“Changqing Mountain has five Golden Core cultivators. Luo Yunshu from the Luo family has the highest cultivation level, at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm…”
He didn’t include Jiang Muyu, only mentioning himself and the younger generation like Xu Changqing.
Upon hearing this, Yao Lanqin shook her head slightly: “Not even a late-stage Golden Core cultivator?”
Li Chang’an respectfully replied, “Senior, our talent is mediocre, and cultivation is difficult. No one in the entire Changqing Mountain has yet reached the late-stage Golden Core realm.”
“But Changqing Mountain is a fourth-tier spiritual vein. Your cultivation is too shallow; you probably can’t protect it.”
Yao Lanqin’s tone was indifferent as she explained the rules of the Wanzhen Sect.
“If cultivators from the other eight immortal sects try to seize the spiritual vein, the sect will protect you. However, if other Nascent Soul or Golden Core forces in the Wanzhen Domain intervene, the sect will not intervene.” “
Junior understands!”
Li Chang’an had already investigated this matter and knew that the Wanzhen Sect wouldn’t concern itself with the struggles between its various affiliated forces.
After all, no matter how they fought, it was ultimately an internal matter of the Wanzhen Sect.
Even if Changqing Mountain changed masters,
it would still have to regularly offer tribute to the Wanzhen Sect.
Yao Lanqin waved her hand dismissively: “Alright, go down.”
“Yes!”
Li Chang’an slowly retreated.
Time passed, and several hours went by in the blink of an eye. All the forces present had completed their registration.
Only then did Yao Lanqin explain the purpose of this matter.
“From now on, the sect will periodically summon you.”
“Summon?”
Upon hearing this
, everyone exchanged glances, a hint of worry flashing across their faces.
Did the Myriad Array Sect want them to be cannon fodder, exploring dangerous areas?
In the current cultivation world, there are numerous mysterious and dangerous places, such as the ruins of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty and the ancient myriad races.
It is said that even Nascent Soul cultivators dare not easily set foot in some places.
As if knowing what they were thinking, Yao Lanqin spoke again.
“Rest assured, the Nine Immortal Sects are no longer what they were in ancient times. They won’t force you to venture into dangerous places. All the tasks assigned to you are within your capabilities.”
“Not only you, but the other affiliated sects and families that returned with the Immortal Sects will also be summoned.”
“Some sect disciples may also accompany you on missions…”
Hearing this, everyone felt somewhat relieved.
As long as they weren’t being forced to their deaths, that was fine.
After a while,
Yao Lanqin also transformed into a rainbow of light and departed.
After she left, the atmosphere inside and outside the entire hall suddenly relaxed, and everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
“Finally gone.”
“These people from the Divine Transformation Immortal Sect are really hard to deal with.”
“She talks a good game, but she might still summon us to explore dangerous places in the future.”
“Alas, we are all under her roof, we have no choice but to bow our heads…”
Even the Nascent Soul True Monarchs present wore grim expressions.
Previously, the Nascent Soul stage was the pinnacle of the cultivation world.
But now,
another layer of power had risen above them.
Jiang Xuanyuan walked to Qi Jiuyang’s side and asked in a deep voice, “Fellow Daoist Qi, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.”
Qi Jiuyang replied calmly, slowly retrieving the Third Prince’s flesh and blood.
Having done so,
he said to everyone, “Gentlemen, the Great Qi still has state affairs to attend to, I must return now.”
With that, he transformed into a beam of light and vanished into the horizon.
Seeing this,
Zhuque and the others sighed.
The Nine Great Immortal Sects no longer practiced demonic arts, but their methods remained cruel.
They were not used to it, but had no choice but to accept it slowly.
After some conversation, everyone departed.
Liu Haichao bid farewell to several Holy Sons and returned to his Daoist temple deep in the back mountains, intending to inquire about the Nascent Soul treasure.
“The world has changed drastically, and there are more cultivation resources than ever before, which is beneficial for my Nascent Soul formation. Perhaps I can successfully gather a Nascent Soul formation treasure within fifty years.”
“Once I successfully form my Nascent Soul, I’ll leave the Purple Cloud Sect and try to find a position in the Myriad Array Sect, even if it’s just as an outer sect steward…”
He pondered silently, planning his future.
Just then, he paused, staring intently at a figure in front of him.
Inside his Daoist temple,
Li Chang’an stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time.
Liu Haichao coldly shouted, “Li Chang’an, what are you doing here?”
He felt a vague unease in his heart.
In terms of cultivation, he was at the peak of the Golden Core stage, while Li Chang’an was only at the early Golden Core stage; the difference in their strength was vast.
But for some reason, he couldn’t muster the courage to fight at this moment.
“This kid has extensive connections and is on good terms with the geniuses of various sects. Perhaps he has hired outsiders to deal with me. I must not fight him today.”
Thinking of this, Liu Haichao immediately retreated, intending to seek help from cultivators from other sects.
But he had only taken two steps back when he crashed into an invisible barrier.
The Void Forbidden Array!
This array enveloped the entire Daoist temple, dividing the inside and outside into two worlds.
Even with Liu Haichao using all his strength, he couldn’t budge the array in the slightest.
His face paled slightly, and his unease grew.
“Li Chang’an, I am the Holy Son of the Zixia Sect. If you dare to kill your own sectmate, the Supreme Elder will certainly not…” *
Boom! *
Before he could finish speaking, he exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
Li Chang’an remained indifferent, raising his hand.
“Soul, come!”
As soon as the words left his lips, Liu Haichao’s soul slowly emerged beside the blood mist.
His face showed terror as he looked at the Soul-Honoring Banner beside Li Chang’an.
“Li Chang’an, you are actually a member of the demonic path! The war between good and evil has ended, yet you still lurk within my Zixia Sect. What are your intentions?”
Li Chang’an didn’t bother to reply, directly throwing him into the Soul-Honoring Banner.
Inside the banner,
the evil spirit chuckled a few times.
“Hehehe, Liu Haichao, I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time!”
“You…who are you?”
Looking at the ferocious face of the evil spirit, Liu Haichao was filled with fear.
The next moment,
a very familiar voice suddenly rang out not far away.
“Father, why are you here too?”
“Xuanfeng?”
Liu Haichao trembled, looking in the direction of the figure.
The speaker
was none other than his descendant, Liu Xuanfeng!
He never expected that he and his son would meet within the Soul Banner.
“Xuanfeng, you and Xun Yuanjia weren’t killed by a demonic Nascent Soul cultivator?”
“Father, if it were just an ordinary demonic Nascent Soul cultivator, I could have escaped with the help of the treasures bestowed by the Supreme Elder. But that Li Chang’an was far stronger than an ordinary Nascent Soul demon.”
Liu Xuanfeng’s expression darkened as he recounted his death.
He not only spoke of this incident
but also of the Yellow Sand Saint Child “Wei Xu” from years ago.
Back then, due to Li Chang’an’s scheme, Liu Haichao killed the Yellow Sand Saint Child Wei Xu, gaining great fame in both righteous and righteous kingdoms.
To this day,
Liu Haichao still takes pride in this.
The entire Zixia Sect has many Saint Children, but few can kill Saint Children from other sects.
After hearing Liu Xuanfeng’s story, Liu Haichao’s pride instantly crumbled.
“I…I killed Wei Xu, was it all Li Chang’an’s scheme? From beginning to end, I was just a puppet in his eyes?”
He murmured blankly, his expression blank.
Countless complex emotions surged within him, including regret and pain.
If he had known all this beforehand, he would never have made an enemy of Li Chang’an.
Just then,
Wei Xu’s soul suddenly pounced.
He shouted fiercely, “Liu Haichao, if we fight head-on, I will surely take your life!”
“Wei Xu, let go of my father!”
Liu Xuanfeng’s eyes immediately turned red, and he lunged at Wei Xu.
Subsequently, many geniuses from the Zixia Sect and Huangsha Sect joined the fray, fighting fiercely within the soul banner.
The evil spirit watched with glee.
“Good! Good! Good! Let’s all fight!”
“Cui Baihong, you go too, isn’t Gu Yunqi your friend?”
“And Xun Yuanjia, what are you standing there for…” “
…”
Outside the soul banner,
Li Chang’an glanced at the evil spirit, said nothing, and let it run wild.
He left an avatar in the Zixia Sect, while he himself returned to Changqing Mountain, pondering Yao Lanqin’s words on the way.
“I wonder what the Myriad Arrays Sect will summon us for.”
“Fortunately, I have Nascent Soul strength, so I should be able to handle the Golden Core mission arranged by the Myriad Arrays Sect.”
Now, Li Chang’an only hopes that the Nine Great Immortal Sects truly intend to reform and not just pay lip service.
Two hours later.
Li Chang’an returned to Changqing Mountain and inquired about news from all sides, focusing on the news of Nascent Soul Formation treasures.
After a while, Chen Da’an, a cultivator from the Chen family, suddenly requested an audience.
“Da’an, what is it?”
“Ancestor, I…”
Chen Da’an seemed a little embarrassed and scratched his head.
“I want to form a Core, but I don’t have a Core Formation treasure. Could you lend me one?”
“Of course.”
Li Chang’an casually waved his hand and gave him a Core Formation treasure.
“Da’an, your talent is similar to Ling Jing’s, but Ling Jing formed a Core earlier than you. Do you know why?”
“Ancestor, it’s because I’ve been distracted by taking care of the family for many years and haven’t focused on cultivation.”
“It’s good that you know.”
Everyone has their own ambitions. Some people value their own cultivation more, while others value the descendants of their family.
Li Chang’an didn’t force Chen Da’an to focus solely on cultivation, only offering a few casual words of guidance.
A few days later,
Chen Da’an successfully formed his Golden Core.
Thus, the Luo, Wang, and Chen families who had followed Li Chang’an away from Qinghe Market all became Golden Core families.
“If the three seniors Luo Kun, Wang Hu, and Chen Yuanshan knew this in the afterlife, they would be very gratified,”
Li Chang’an said, paying his respects at their graves.
At this moment, he suddenly learned of some news.
Luo Yu, the Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord of the Myriad Arrays Sect, had issued a bounty throughout the cultivation world to find the reincarnation of his brother, Luo Kun.
Anyone who could provide useful information would receive a substantial reward!
“A reincarnation?”
Li Chang’an looked at Luo Kun’s tombstone, lost in thought.
He had always suspected that Luo Kun was the reincarnation of Luo Kun, but he couldn’t comprehend reincarnation and lacked concrete evidence.
“Could it be that the Myriad Arrays Sect has a way to comprehend reincarnation?”
He gazed intently in the direction of the Myriad Arrays Sect, deep in thought.
…
Meanwhile, in
the Yuan Kingdom, in the northern mountains…
A Golden Core cultivator was fleeing swiftly through the mountains.
His face was deathly pale, his body covered in blood, his aura chaotic, and his body burning with the flames of life.
Suddenly, a Nascent Soul cultivator’s power descended from the sky, shattering him into pieces.
“Soul, come!”
Tong Hu appeared, raising his hand to collect the cultivator’s soul.
He said to Yao Lanqin, who was not far away, “Senior Sister Yao, this is the last cultivator to steal the core inheritance. Our mission is complete. You can return to the sect to report to our master.”
“Alright.”
Yao Lanqin waved her hand, and a fourth-tier flying boat appeared.
The two entered the flying boat and piloted it back to the Myriad Array Sect.
Just then,
a figure appeared in front of the flying boat, radiating the aura of a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator.
“Fellow Daoists, please wait.”
“Fellow Daoist Mu?”
Upon seeing this person, the two stood up simultaneously and activated the flying boat’s array to welcome him.
The newcomer was named Mu Wei. Not only was his talent and cultivation remarkable, but his own status was also extremely high. He was the son of Mu Teng, a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord of the Ancient Wood Sect.
“Fellow Daoist Yao, Fellow Daoist Tong.”
He greeted them with a smile as he entered the flying boat. After exchanging a few words, he took out two storage bags and presented them to the two men.
The two opened the bags and a barely perceptible look of surprise flashed in their eyes.
Inside each bag
were ten top-grade spirit stones!
Any single top-grade spirit stone was extremely precious, yet Mu Wei had taken out a full twenty.
Yao Lanqin withdrew her gaze and asked him, “Fellow Daoist Mu, is there anything I can help you with?”
“Nothing much,”
Mu Wei replied with a smile.
“I wish to take away an ordinary Golden Core cultivator from the Myriad Array Domain. I would appreciate your assistance.”
“Who?”
“Li Chang’an, the lord of Changqing Mountain,”
Mu Wei stated his purpose.
Yao Lanqin frowned slightly and asked, “Fellow Daoist Mu, how did Li Chang’an offend you?”
Mu Wei replied, “He had a conflict with one of my retainers. I value that retainer highly and wish for him to personally kill Li Chang’an.”
“This is unacceptable!”
Yao Lanqin shook her head slightly and pushed the storage bag in front of her back.
“Changqing Mountain is an vassal of my Myriad Array Sect. Li Chang’an and the other cultivators of Changqing Mountain are all under the protection of my Myriad Array Sect. How can I allow outsiders to kill them?”
Her attitude was firm, keeping her promise to Li Chang’an and the other vassal forces.
If any cultivators from outside the sect attacked without cause, the Myriad Array Sect would protect them.
This was the reward for their tribute.
“Fellow Daoist Yao, is this matter truly beyond discussion?”
Mu Wei still smiled and pushed the storage bag in front of Yao Lanqin again.
On the surface, he was discussing matters with Yao Lanqin, but secretly he was exchanging messages with Tong Hu.
“Fellow Daoist Tong, killing a Golden Core cultivator shouldn’t cause too much of a stir.”
“Alas, Senior Sister is right, this matter is indeed difficult.”
Tong Hu seemed troubled, feigning a sigh.
Hearing this, Mu Wei’s heart stirred. Tong Hu said “difficult” rather than “impossible,” meaning there was hope.
He immediately said, “Fellow Daoist Tong, if this succeeds, I can add ten more top-grade spirit stones!”
“Alright, but… don’t rush. If we take Li Chang’an away now, Senior Sister Yao will inevitably become suspicious.”
Tong Hu secretly transmitted his message.
At the same time, he pushed his storage bag back, seemingly also refusing the offer.
He sent a telepathic invitation: “Fellow Daoist Mu, my Wanzhen Sect will be holding a small auction. Senior Sister Yao and I will both be attending. You can come with us to the auction first. After the auction, Senior Sister Yao should return to seclusion. At that time… you can then take Li Chang’an away.”
“Okay.”
Mu Wei readily accepted the invitation.
…
At this moment.
On Changqing Mountain.
Li Chang’an was checking the news in his hand.
In recent days, many Nascent Soul forces wanted to buy Changqing Mountain.
“Baiyun Dan Sect, Hanhai Sect, Zhong Family… these Nascent Soul sects and families all returned with the Nine Immortal Sects. They already have fourth-order spiritual veins, yet they still want my Changqing Mountain.”
Li Chang’an frowned.
Ultimately, it was because the overall strength of the Changqing Mountain lineage was too weak, making it a piece of fat meat in the eyes of other forces.
If a Nascent Soul cultivator were present, the situation would be completely different.
These Nascent Soul forces seemed to want to make a sincere deal, but their attitudes were quite tough, subtly carrying a sense of coercion.
In recent days.
Li Chang’an was not the only one who had encountered threats.
Both the Xiao family and the Myriad Swords Sect faced the same problem.
Their spiritual veins, having both become fourth-tier spiritual veins after the cataclysmic changes in the world, and both possessing fourth-tier earth fire, were extremely valuable.
Faced with the threat of numerous Nascent Soul cultivators, they had no choice but to compromise and had already sold their spiritual veins.
“The Xiao family left the Pill Valley and recultivated a third-tier spiritual vein as their base.”
“The Myriad Swords Sect did the same.”
Currently, only Changqing Mountain has not yet compromised.
Many are speculating when Li Chang’an will bow his head and sell Changqing Mountain.
