Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 472

Chapter 472 Resurrection from the Dead, Defying Fate (Seeking Subscriptions)

A blood-red world appeared before Li Chang’an.

Looking around,

both the sky and the earth were crimson.

The stench of blood was overwhelming, so strong it was nauseating.

“This place is strange, why is it like this?”

Li Chang’an was slightly surprised, but quickly adapted.

Secret realms were always bizarre, filled with all sorts of strange and strange things; he was basically used to it.

Many cultivators had arrived earlier, mining blood crystals in the secret realm.

Almost everywhere was a mine.

At this moment,

someone left a mine and came to Ning Cailian, respectfully taking out a bag of blood crystals.

“Envoy, I wish to exchange them for contribution points.”

“Alright.”

Ning Cailian resumed her indifferent demeanor, looked at the blood crystals, and calculated the contribution points for them.

After the person left,

she took out several blood crystals of different sizes and showed them to Li Chang’an.

“Fellow Daoist Li, these are Blood Crystals. The grade of these treasures isn’t fixed. If the quality is high, it’s a high-grade treasure. However, these few are of relatively low quality, only second-grade Blood Crystals.”

Hearing this, Li Chang’an examined them carefully.

These Blood Crystals were all semi-transparent crystals on the outside, with more than ten thin blood threads inside.

Ning Cailian explained that the more blood threads inside a Blood Crystal, the higher its grade, and the more contribution points it could be exchanged for.

Then, she briefly explained the exchange rules for this time.

After listening,

Li Chang’an was somewhat surprised.

Blood Crystals were obviously easier to obtain than the pills in Wan Dan Lake. Although he hadn’t dug them up, he had sensed quite a few with his divine sense. Logically, the contribution points he could exchange for shouldn’t be as high as those for pills.

But the Wan Zhen Sect was very generous this time; even low-grade Blood Crystals could be exchanged for a considerable amount of contribution points.

Moreover, the treasures that could be exchanged for with contribution points were more than last time.

There was even a cultivation technique with a grade of “True Heaven Grade” that appeared.

“Why is the Wan Zhen Sect so generous this time? Does the sect really need Blood Crystals?”

Li Chang’an pondered to himself.

On the treasure list, there were many items he could use.

He planned to search for the Burning Heart Flame while also collecting some Blood Crystals.

At this moment, Ning Cailian provided a rough map.

The map contained a warning bloodline.

She told Li Chang’an, “Beyond this bloodline lies the outer edge of the secret realm. The blood-qi monsters that appear there are generally no higher than the quasi-fourth rank. If you go further in, you might encounter fourth-rank monsters. Fellow Daoist Li, you must not cross this line.”

“Alright, thank you, Fellow Daoist Ning.”

Li Chang’an accepted the map and thanked her sincerely.

After that,

Ning Cailian spoke about the Burning Heart Flame.

She explained that while the outer edge was safer, the Burning Heart Flame was also less frequently found. Li Chang’an needed patience and shouldn’t rush things.

After their conversation,

Li Chang’an bid farewell to Ning Cailian and searched alone in the secret realm.

Initially, he maintained the normal speed of a Golden Core cultivator, but once he was far away from the other cultivators, he immediately unleashed his full speed, heading straight for the bloodline.

Several hours later,

Li Chang’an arrived at the location of the bloodline.

Further ahead lies the depths of the secret realm, where one is likely to encounter fourth-tier blood energy monsters.

According to Ning Cailian, these monsters are not only incredibly powerful but also adept at concealment, making them difficult to detect, and they often appear in groups.

A Nascent Soul True Monarch from the Myriad Arrays Sect, relying on his superior skills, once ventured deep into the secret realm, only to be surrounded and killed by a group of fourth-tier blood energy monsters.

“We must not be careless. Let’s search near the bloodline first.”

Li Chang’an did not rashly venture into the bloodline.

He remained vigilant, escaping into the earth to search for

the Burning Heart Flame. “According to the description in the Record of Strange Flames, approaching the Burning Heart Flame will cause a feeling of torment.”

He slowed his pace, concentrating intently as he searched.

Not long after,

Li Chang’an paused.

He had not found the Burning Heart Flame, but only a few blood crystals.

“These blood crystals are of decent quality, reaching the upper-grade of the third tier.”

He casually took the blood crystals and continued his search.

A quarter of an hour later…

He found more than ten blood crystals in succession, the lowest quality of which was at least third-grade low-level, and the highest reaching near-fourth-grade.

“The contribution points from these blood crystals are roughly enough to exchange for a high-quality near-fourth-grade spiritual herb, not bad.”

Li Chang’an’s lips curled slightly.

The Myriad Array Sect was so generous this time that he felt like he was picking up money.

Just then ,

a dense blood aura suddenly appeared in his senses.

“A blood aura monster?”

Li Chang’an followed his senses and approached, quickly seeing a monster with a scarlet body.

This monster had four limbs, a hunched figure, and looked like a human cultivator who had been skinned, with a particularly ferocious face.

“Roar—”

It suddenly roared, bursting out with the aura of a late-stage third-grade cultivator, and attacked Li Chang’an.

Li Chang’an remained calm and casually flicked his finger with his Golden Core mana.

Boom!

The monster instantly shattered into a ball of blood aura.

But it did not die.

The next moment,

it reformed, its aura weakened slightly, and bared its fangs and claws as it attacked Li Chang’an.

“Ning Cailian is right, this monster can resurrect, it’s indeed difficult to kill.”

Li Chang’an flicked out another finger of Golden Core magic power.

With a boom, the monster exploded once more, but quickly reformed, though its aura was much weaker.

After that, it was repeatedly destroyed more than ten times.

Finally,

it let out a mournful cry of unwillingness and turned into a wisp of blood smoke and dissipated.

“It took more than ten kills to finally kill it completely, it does seem somewhat like a cultivator of the Demon Seed Technique.”

This blood-qi monster reminded Li Chang’an of his encounter with Murong Kang.

Murong Kang was equally difficult to kill.

His Demon Seed Technique, combined with the Tribulation Transformation spell within it, made him nearly immortal in the early stages of combat.

However, very few practitioners of the Demon Seed Technique existed, while these blood-qi monsters were everywhere in the entire secret realm.

Less than a quarter of an hour later,

Li Chang’an encountered another blood-qi monster.

This monster was even stronger, reaching near-fourth rank; even ordinary Golden Core peak cultivators would have to flee upon encountering it.

This time,

Li Chang’an directly used his Nascent Soul power.

“Boom!”

Under the Nascent Soul power, the monster was instantly obliterated, unable to revive.

Clearly, this monster’s resurrection ability only worked against cultivators of the same rank.

Li Chang’an casually took a few blood crystals nearby and then went to another location to search for the Burning Heart Flame.

About a quarter of an hour later,

he encountered a third blood-qi monster.

This monster’s aura was significantly stronger than the previous one, but it had not yet reached the fourth rank.

“I’ll try the Blood Transformation Pill on this monster.”

With a thought, Li Chang’an released a Blood Transformation Pill from his storage bag, which instantly collided with the monster.

The monster howled, its expression contorted, and it dissolved into a pool of blood.

“It really works!”

Li Chang’an confirmed his earlier idea.

“However, this pill is a fourth-tier pill. Using it against monsters below the fourth tier is a bit extravagant. I’ll use it again if I encounter a troublesome fourth-tier monster.”

In the following hours,

he encountered more than ten blood-qi monsters, but he didn’t use the Blood Transformation Pill again, simply crushing them with his Nascent Soul power.

During this process, he obtained more and more blood crystals, but still couldn’t find the Burning Heart Flame.

Li Chang’an remained patient and continued his search.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day,

he had just killed a near-fourth-tier monster and was preparing to search elsewhere when he suddenly felt unwell.

It felt as if a raging fire was burning within him.

Furthermore…

Countless painful and agonizing memories flashed through his mind, including numerous fragments of his previous life.

An ordinary cultivator would likely experience torment facing such recollections.

But Li Chang’an felt no such torment; in fact, he was somewhat delighted.

“Burning Heart Flame!”

His spirits lifted, and he suppressed all his thoughts, carefully searching the vicinity.

Finally, he determined a direction.

Following this direction, the burning sensation in his heart would intensify.

Soon,

a wisp of blood-red flame appeared before Li Chang’an. A

smile spread across Li Chang’an’s face, his mood brightening considerably.

This was the Burning Heart Flame he had been searching for!

“Finally found a wisp!”

“This small wisp is worth ten top-grade spirit stones.”

“If I ever lack spirit stones in the future, I can come to this secret realm to find fire.”

He took out a jade bottle, used his magic power to envelop the flame, and carefully stored it inside.

Afterward, he searched the surrounding area but did not find a second wisp of Burning Heart Flame.

“It took five days to find just one wisp. If I want to gather all the materials needed for alchemy, I’m afraid I’ll have to stay here for several months.”

Li Chang’an pondered, looking into the bloodline.

Venturing deeper into the secret realm would greatly increase the efficiency of finding the fire, but it might also involve many dangers.

“Let me cast a divination first.”

He took out his divination artifact, intending to predict the outcome.

Just then,

Ning Cailian suddenly sent a message.

“Fellow Daoist Li, have you made any progress these past few days?”

“I found quite a few blood crystals, but I haven’t discovered the Burning Heart Fire.”

Li Chang’an concealed the fact that he had found the Burning Heart Fire.

Ning Cailian chuckled: “Finding fire requires patience. If you’re unlucky, you might not find even a single wisp for years or even decades.”

“Decades?”

“Yes, the sect has records of a disciple who searched in the secret realm for over thirty years without finding a single wisp.”

Hearing this, Li Chang’an was somewhat surprised.

In that case

, finding a wisp in five days was quite lucky.

Ning Cailian then said, “Fellow Daoist Li, could you return to the entrance of the secret realm? I’d like to introduce you to two people.”

“Alright.”

Li Chang’an didn’t ask too many questions, immediately putting away his divination treasures and using his escape technique to return.

Several hours later,

he returned to the entrance of the secret realm and met Ning Cailian.

Beside Ning Cailian were two cultivators.

One of them wore the robes of a Wanzhen Sect disciple, looked young, and possessed peak Golden Core cultivation.

“Fellow Daoist Li, this is Senior Yao’s younger brother, Yao Shichen,”

Ning Cailian introduced to Li Chang’an.

The other was of even higher cultivation, a Nascent Soul True Monarch, wearing a light blue robe.

This person needed no introduction; Li Chang’an had already seen the portrait.

The Sect Master of the Hanhai Sect, the Hanhai True Monarch!

Recently, the Hanhai Sect, like the Baiyun Dan Sect, had repeatedly expressed their desire to purchase Changqing Mountain.

Ning Cailian had called Li Chang’an back because these two wanted to venture deeper into the secret realm.

The Hanhai True Monarch was quite powerful, a veteran early Nascent Soul expert.

Yao Shichen, on the other hand, carried many fourth-tier trump cards.

Together, the two of them were more than capable of handling ordinary fourth-tier monsters.

“Fellow Daoist Li, I’ve already spoken to them. They’ll take you into the depths of the secret realm. You don’t need to do anything; just focus on finding the Burning Heart Flame,”

Ning Cailian secretly transmitted.

Hearing this, Li Chang’an was somewhat surprised.

He had thought Ning Cailian had called him back to help him expand his network.

Unexpectedly,

she had arranged everything directly.

Li Chang’an initially wanted to refuse, but after calculating with his fingers, he determined that the divination for this trip was auspicious, indicating he would obtain many good things, so he swallowed his refusal.

“My abilities are mediocre; I owe this trip to the envoy and Senior Han Hai,”

True Monarch Han Hai nodded slightly, saying nothing more. Yao Shichen’s expression was indifferent

as he said, “Li Chang’an, once we enter the depths of the secret realm, you must not act recklessly. If you stray too far from me, I may not be able to save you in time.”

“I understand, please rest assured, Envoy.”

“Good that you understand!”

Yao Shichen’s tone was cold as he casually took out several fourth-tier talismans and tossed them to Li Chang’an, instructing him to use them if he encountered danger.

At the same time, he secretly transmitted a message to Ning Cailian.

“Sister Cailian, why do you insist I take him with me? His cultivation is too low; if we encounter monsters, I’ll have to distract myself and look after him.”

“Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist Li knows his limits. He’s a fourth-tier alchemist; if you’re injured, you can use his pills to heal.”

“I have my own fourth-tier pills.”

Yao Shichen was somewhat reluctant, but out of respect for Ning Cailian, he ultimately said nothing.

After a while,

Han Hai Zhenjun took out a fourth-tier flying boat, piloted it, and carried Li Chang’an and Yao Shichen to the depths of the secret realm.

During the journey, after a brief conversation,

Li Chang’an learned…

Han Hai Zhenjun’s trip was to find a body-refining treasure called “Blood Crystal Flower. “

Yao Shichen, on the other hand, was purely there for training, to hone his mental state for Nascent Soul formation, and incidentally to collect some high-grade Blood Crystals to exchange for contribution points.

Han Hai Zhenjun suddenly asked, “Young friend Li, are you acquainted with Envoy Yao Lanqin?”

Li Chang’an replied, “I have received guidance from the Envoy.”

Upon receiving this answer, Han Hai Zhenjun fell silent, gazing ahead as if deep in thought.

After a while,

he spoke again, “I intend to establish a branch sect of Han Hai, and Changqing Mountain is perfectly suitable as the location. Young friend Li, are you interested in making a deal?”

“Senior, Changqing Mountain is where I started my business; I am unwilling to sell it.”

“In that case, I will not force you.”

Perhaps because of Li Chang’an’s relationship with Yao Lanqin, Han Hai Zhenjun’s attitude was very gentle.

He immediately stated that he would not ask Li Chang’an to sell Changqing Mountain again, and all issues between them would be considered settled.   Li Chang’an was naturally happy to

accept this .   Although he wasn’t afraid of the Vast Ocean Sect, he didn’t want to get into too much trouble, so ending it like this was best.   Cultivation wasn’t just about fighting and killing; it was also about human relationships and worldly affairs.   Several hours later,   the flying boat crossed the bloodline and officially entered the depths of the secret realm.   The atmosphere in the entire world immediately became much more oppressive.   Vast Ocean True Monarch put away the flying boat, took out a treasure for escaping into the earth, and led Li Chang’an and Yao Shichen to escaping into the earth to search for treasures.   Not long after,   a spirit flower that was entirely blood-red, as if carved from crystal, appeared before Li Chang’an.   This flower was precisely the Blood Crystal Flower that Vast Ocean True Monarch had come for!   Surrounding the Blood Crystal Flower was a group of near-fourth-tier monsters.   ”Slay!”   Vast Ocean True Monarch’s expression was cold and stern. He used his Nascent Soul power to instantly kill all the near-fourth-tier monsters.   He stepped forward, carefully picked the Blood Crystal Flower, and a smile appeared on his face.   ”I’ve had good luck on this trip. This flower is extremely rare. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Ten Thousand Arrays Sect spent over ten years searching for one without success, and I’ve already encountered it upon arriving here.”   He then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Yao Shichen.   ”Young friend Yao, this is undoubtedly thanks to you. A prodigy like you always enjoys good fortune, and the fortune of those traveling with you is temporarily boosted.”   ”Fortune is elusive and difficult to discern. This matter has nothing to do with me; it’s your own skill, Senior Han Hai.”   Yao Shichen smiled, his tone humble.   Although he was from a high-ranking sect, he hadn’t yet reached the Nascent Soul stage, and he needed to maintain proper etiquette when facing a Nascent Soul True Monarch like Han Hai.   Li Chang’an stood aside, like an outsider, saying nothing.   About a quarter of an hour later,   they encountered another group of near-fourth-tier monsters.   This time, Yao Shichen took the initiative, using these monsters to hone his skills.   His strength was considerable; even a casual burst of his magic power exceeded the limits of a Golden Core cultivator, allowing him to handle the onslaught of numerous near-fourth-tier monsters with ease.   ”As expected of the prodigy of the Divine Transformation Immortal Sect,”   Li Chang’an commented inwardly.   Yao Shichen’s strength far surpassed that of the holy sons and daughters of various Nascent Soul forces in the Zhao Kingdom.

Even Zi Xi and Lin Xuan Yan didn’t possess such strength before forming their Nascent Souls.

“The spells he used were extremely powerful, likely all True Heaven-grade spells, perhaps even perfect spells. These near-fourth-tier monsters couldn’t harm him.”

As expected,

not long after, all the near-fourth-tier monsters were annihilated by Yao Shichen.

He took several fourth-tier blood crystals from the vicinity, a smile appearing on his face.

“My luck on this trip is indeed quite good; I found fourth-tier blood crystals so quickly.”

“Young friend Yao, do you need to rest?”

“No need to rest, Senior Han Hai, let’s continue our journey.”

“Alright.”

True Monarch Han Hai rode his treasure, carrying the two of them as they continued their underground journey.

Half an hour later.

The three of them simultaneously experienced a special sensation.

It was as if a raging fire was burning in their hearts.

“Burning Heart Fire!”

“Young friend Li, this is the treasure you need.”

True Monarch Han Hai followed his senses and quickly discovered a wisp of Burning Heart Fire.

Near the Burning Heart Fire, there were more than thirty blood qi monsters of varying grades, most of which had reached near-fourth-tier.

Han Hai Zhenjun unleashed his Nascent Soul power, instantly annihilating all the monsters and retrieving the Burning Heart Flame for Li Chang’an.

“Thank you, Senior,”

Li Chang’an immediately expressed his gratitude.

Just as Ning Cailian had said before, he didn’t need to do anything on this trip; he only needed to follow along and collect treasures.

Han Hai Zhenjun was somewhat puzzled: “Strange, our luck today is far too good. Why are we getting treasures one after another? I’ve cultivated for hundreds of years and have never felt this smooth sailing.”

Even with a prodigy like Yao Shichen by his side, his luck shouldn’t be this good.

He couldn’t figure it out, so he shook his head, suppressed his doubts, and led the two to continue their search.

Time flew by.

Several hours passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, all three had made considerable gains.

Suddenly, Han Hai Zhenjun’s face lit up with joy. He fully activated his teleportation treasure and soon led the two into an underground culvert.

Inside the cold culvert, there were more than ten gently swaying blood crystal flowers.

“Looks like I’m really on a roll today!”

Han Hai Zhenjun was in high spirits, about to take all the Blood Crystal Flowers.

But just then, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

“Roar—”

A deafening roar echoed from nearby.

Immediately afterward, a monster with the aura of a fourth-tier being appeared before the three of them.

“A fourth-tier monster? I didn’t even notice it before. Luckily, there’s only one; I can handle it.”

Han Hai Zhenjun unleashed a burst of magic power to protect Li Chang’an and Yao Shichen, intending to kill the monster.

However, in the next instant,

more than thirty fourth-tier monsters appeared around them.

Their faces were ferocious, roaring in unison, their blood energy intertwined, their auras linked, instantly forming a blood-red barrier resembling an array.

“A battle formation?”

Han Hai Zhenjun’s expression changed drastically.

Yao Shichen’s expression also changed, immediately using fourth-tier techniques to bombard the barrier.

But no matter how powerful his trump cards were, the barrier remained unmoved.

He could only turn his gaze to Han Hai Zhenjun.

“Senior Han Hai, do you have a way to kill these monsters?”

“Difficult!”

Han Hai Zhenjun used several spells in succession, but still couldn’t break through the barrier.

“This place is clearly a trap. It’s my fault for not noticing. You must quickly enter my spirit beast pouch.”

Hearing this, Yao Shichen hesitated.

Entering the spirit beast pouch meant entrusting his life to Han Hai Zhenjun.

If Han Hai Zhenjun died here, he wouldn’t survive either.

At this moment,

Li Chang’an took out a Blood Transformation Nether Pill.

“This pill is a fourth-tier magic pill. Perhaps it can restrain these blood monsters.”

“A magic pill?”

Yao Shichen frowned, not holding out much hope.

“Li Chang’an, a magic pill is only equivalent to an ordinary Nascent Soul’s attack. Even if you have many more low-grade fourth-tier magic pills, it will be useless. These monsters’ formation is already formed and cannot be broken.” “It

won’t hurt to try.”

Li Chang’an handed the Blood Transformation Nether Pill to Han Hai Zhenjun.

Han Hai Zhenjun didn’t refuse; after all, it was a fourth-tier technique.

His expression was solemn as he took the pill from Li Chang’an.

“Alright, let’s give it a try.”
