Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 474

Chapter 474 The Hidden Battle of Immortal Paths: The Strength of Mental State (Seeking Subscriptions)

“It seems to be a special spiritual pattern, why does it make me uneasy?”

Yao Shichen pondered to himself.

He left this place to explore other areas.

Under Li Chang’an’s covert influence, he discovered more than ten blood-red array patterns in succession, his unease growing.

“These spiritual patterns are strange, I must inform the sect immediately.”

Yao Shichen used a treasure to inform Yao Lanqin of this.

The entire process was witnessed by Li Chang’an.

“It seems he really doesn’t know.”

Li Chang’an mused.

Even Yao Shichen didn’t know, so the other disciples of the Myriad Array Sect in the secret realm probably didn’t know either.

Once the array was activated, they would all become withered bones within it!

If this was truly the work of the Myriad Array Sect, it meant that the Myriad Array Sect didn’t care about the lives of these disciples at all.

Not long after.

Yao Lanqin arrived at the secret realm.

She burrowed deep into the earth and quickly discovered a blood-red array pattern as well.

“Shichen, is this the kind of spirit rune you mentioned?”

“Yes, it makes me feel uneasy whenever I touch it.”

“I’ll try…”

Yao Lanqin used her magic power to cautiously touch it, and felt the same unease.

Then, she used her escape technique to actively search, finding dozens of spirit runes deep within the earth, each one causing her unease.

“These spirit runes should be array runes, but I don’t understand arrays. I can only let my senior brother take a look. Before that, everyone should leave!”

That noon,

Yao Lanqin summoned people from various forces, explained the matter, and ordered everyone to leave the secret realm.

“There seems to be a blood sacrifice array beneath the secret realm. It’s unknown when this array was created, or if it’s already abandoned, but it might still be functioning. You should all leave the secret realm and wait outside.”

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, somewhat surprised.

“An array? Why didn’t I find it?”

“Me neither. It’s probably because our cultivation levels are too low.”

“It’s probably a remnant from a long time ago. Hopefully, this array has been abandoned.”

Everyone present left, somewhat reluctant, because the task of mining blood crystals was far too easy.

Having finally found such an easy task, they all wanted to stay in the secret realm longer and didn’t want to leave just like that.

Meanwhile,

Li Chang’an received a message from Yao Shichen.

“Fellow Daoist Li, where are you?”

“I’m searching for the Burning Heart Flame in the Blood Crystal Secret Realm.”

“Leave quickly! There might be a Blood Sacrifice Array beneath the secret realm!”

“Alright!”

Li Chang’an pretended to know nothing and quickly arrived at the exit of the secret realm, meeting Yao Shichen and Yao Lanqin.

He looked worried and asked, “Senior, is there really a Blood Sacrifice Array beneath the secret realm?”

“Not yet certain. Let’s wait until my senior brother arrives.”

Yao Lanqin casually said a few words and told him to go outside and wait.

About an hour later,

a late-stage Nascent Soul aura appeared in Li Chang’an’s perception.

Soon, a young man dressed in the robes of an elder of the Myriad Arrays Sect appeared and met Yao Lanqin.

After understanding the situation, he entered the secret realm with Yao Lanqin.

Yao Shichen stayed outside and introduced him to Li Chang’an: “Fellow Daoist Li, that man is my sister’s senior brother, ‘Ren Huan.’ He is not only highly skilled in cultivation, but also has considerable expertise in array formations, already a fourth-tier high-grade array master.”

“Fourth-tier high-grade?”

Li Chang’an’s heart stirred slightly.

This man’s array formation expertise was even stronger than his own; perhaps he could see through the clues.

However, not long after, Ren Huan left the secret realm and announced to everyone ,

“Don’t worry, everyone. That array formation is extremely ancient, likely set up by the ancient myriad races over the ages. It has long been abandoned and cannot be activated again. You can rest assured in your search for treasures.”

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and smiles appeared on their faces.

The secret realm was fine; they could continue digging for treasure.

Li Chang’an, however, was somewhat surprised.

“No, that formation isn’t a dead formation. Even I can see the problem. Ren Huan couldn’t possibly not see it. Could he be lying?”

he pondered to himself.

While he was thinking, Ren Huan had already left.

Many cultivators present returned to the secret realm, chatting and laughing, and re-entered the mine.

Yao Shichen also planned to return for training.

He asked Li Chang’an, “Fellow Daoist Li, do you intend to continue searching for the Burning Heart Flame?”

Li Chang’an shook his head: “Fellow Daoist Yao, I’ve always been a coward. Although that formation is now abandoned, I still feel uneasy and dare not enter the secret realm again.”

“Haha, Fellow Daoist Li, you’re not cowardly, you’re just cautious! I know you ventured into danger for your friend Jin Linghe!”

Yao Shichen said with a smile, his attitude extremely friendly.

After exchanging a few words,

he turned and entered the secret realm, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

Only Li Chang’an remained outside the entire secret realm.

He used his divination technique again to perform a new deduction, and once again saw a blurry scene of blood sacrifice.

“The danger isn’t over yet; we mustn’t enter this Blood Crystal Realm again.”

“I still need to find a way to get Yao Shichen out…”

Li Chang’an sighed inwardly, forced to continue using his divination power to subtly influence Yao Shichen.

A few days later.

Yao Shichen finally left the Blood Crystal Realm to train in another realm.

Li Chang’an cast a divination for him, and the result was relatively stable, putting his mind at ease.

“It’s time to go back.”

He breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave.

At this moment, he paused, looking towards the horizon.

“Yu’er?”

Li Chang’an frowned slightly.

He had placed a blood seed within Song Yu’er’s body, allowing him to sense her condition at any time.

At this moment, Song Yu’er, Wang Lingjing, Chen Da’an, and other Golden Core cultivators were piloting a near-fourth-tier flying boat from Changqing Mountain, carrying many Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators, heading towards this region.

Clearly, they also intended to come and dig for treasure.

Li Chang’an’s figure flickered, instantly appearing on the flying boat.

Upon seeing him, everyone bowed in unison.

“Senior!”

“Ancestor!”

“Greetings, Mountain Lord!”

“…”

The cultivators on the flying boat used different titles, but all were extremely respectful.

Li Chang’an said in a deep voice, “Yu’er, you’ve come here for the Blood Crystal Secret Realm?”

“Yes, Senior, the Myriad Array Sect has been very generous this time; many people have obtained treasures.”

Song Yu’er smiled sweetly, truthfully explaining their purpose.

News of the Blood Crystal Secret Realm had already spread throughout the entire Myriad Array Domain.

Everyone’s faces were full of anticipation, their eyes bright, as if they could already see themselves exchanging for treasures.

Li Chang’an said calmly, “Go back. There’s a blood sacrifice array beneath the secret realm. If this array is activated, you will all perish here.”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Chen Da’an asked, “Ancestor, why didn’t the Ten Thousand Arrays Sect explain this?”

“This matter is somewhat complicated. No need to think about it too much, just go back.”

Li Chang’an himself didn’t understand it, so naturally he couldn’t explain.

He casually replied a few words, then piloted his flying boat, ignoring the disappointed expressions of the crowd, and returned to Changqing Mountain.

Back at Changqing Mountain, he called Song Yu’er and Xu Changqing to his side, repeatedly instructing them not to go treasure hunting in the secret realm.

Especially Song Yu’er.

This little one was crucial to his ability to repair the teleportation array; there couldn’t be the slightest mistake.

Song Yu’er and Xu Changqing chose to believe Li Chang’an’s words.

Over the years,

they had become accustomed to trusting Li Chang’an.

If it weren’t for Li Chang’an, they would probably have died long ago in the war between the righteous and demonic factions.

However, the clansmen of the various families at the foot of Changqing Mountain didn’t quite understand.

In the following days…

Members of the Luo, Xu, and Chen families, among others, flocked to their respective Golden Core ancestors, pleading for permission to venture into the secret realm in search of treasure.

“Ancestor, we’ve already ascertained the situation. There is indeed a Blood Sacrifice Array within the Blood Crystal Secret Realm, but it has long been abandoned and is now merely a ruined array.”

“This is a golden opportunity for our family to grow stronger! Other families have gone; we can’t fall behind.”

“Ancestor, please let us go…”

The eyes of the many clansmen were filled with longing for the treasures.

However, Xu Changqing and Luo Yunshu remained adamant, forbidding anyone from going.

This inevitably drew complaints from the clansmen.

“Sigh, Changqing is too cautious, just like Li Chang’an. He doesn’t want the opportunity himself, and he won’t even allow us to obtain it,”

sighed a middle-aged man in a side hall of the Xu family.

This man was named Xu Anye, the sixth son of Xu Fugui.

He said to one of the people beside him, “Brother, why don’t we go secretly? Changqing can’t restrict our freedom.”

“No, we’ll leave it to Changqing.”

Xu Ping’an, the eldest brother of the Xu family this generation, shook his head, unmoved by his words.

But the others were clearly tempted.

Not long after,

they quietly left the family and headed straight for the Blood Crystal Secret Realm.

Many members of the Luo, Xu, and Wang families also secretly left to search for treasures in the Blood Crystal Secret Realm.

For a period of time afterward, more and more cultivators went to the secret realm, to the point that the major powers of Zhao Kingdom seemed somewhat deserted.

“The Zixia Sect is missing so many people.”

Li Chang’an used his clone to retrieve treasures from the sect’s treasury.

Usually, the road leading to the treasury was bustling with people, but today there were hardly any.

On the way, he encountered two Golden Core cultivators, one named “Niu Ben” and the other named “Ma Biao,” both of whom were elders in charge of external affairs.

The two were in a hurry and were about to leave the Zixia Sect.

“You two, are you also going to the Blood Crystal Secret Realm?”

“Yes, that secret realm is full of treasures, how could we miss it?”

Niu Ben replied with a smile.

Ma Biao laughed and said, “Elder Li, I heard that you have been to the Blood Crystal Secret Realm before, but because you were worried that the Blood Sacrifice Array would leave, you forbade the cultivators of your Changqing Mountain lineage from going?” Li Chang’an

shook his head: “I did not restrict them. If they really want to go, they can go at any time.”

“Elder Li, you’re being too cautious. The secret realm will be fine. Why don’t you come with us?”

“No, please take care.”

Li Chang’an declined the invitation, cupping his hands in farewell.

Niu Ben and Ma Biao said nothing more, cupping their hands in return, and prepared to leave the Zixia Sect.

Just then,

Zi Xi’s voice rang out.

“Elder Niu, Elder Ma, there’s been a problem with a transaction in the Northern Region. You two go and investigate.”

Hearing this, the two froze, their faces showing bitterness.

The tricks in transactions are the hardest to investigate, and this trip could take an unknown amount of time, likely causing them to miss the opportunity in the Blood Crystal Secret Realm.

However, this was Zi Xi’s personal order.

They dared not refuse, and could only accept, heading to the Northern Region with grim faces.

Li Chang’an looked behind him; Zi Xi was there, still veiled in a light purple veil, just as when they first met.

“Holy Maiden, is there really a problem with the transaction in the Northern Region?”

“No problem.”

Zi Xi gently shook her head, her voice ethereal.

“I’m just looking for a reason to stop them from going to the Blood Crystal Secret Realm.”

“You also think there’s something wrong with the Blood Crystal Secret Realm?”

“I don’t know.”

Zi Xi explained that she had been diligently studying the cultivation experiences of Nascent Soul cultivators left by predecessors and had no knowledge of this matter.

However, she trusted Li Chang’an’s judgment.

Since Li Chang’an wouldn’t allow the people of Changqing Mountain to go, something bad was likely going to happen in the secret realm.

Hearing this,

Li Chang’an was somewhat surprised.

Zi Xi trusted him so much, believing his words without even conducting any investigation.

Zi Xi continued, “Fellow Daoist Li, I will be leaving the Zixia Sect soon and may not return for a long time. Is there anything I can help you with?”

“No, Holy Maiden, where are you going?”

“The Netherworld Domain.”

Zi Xi explained that during the war between the righteous and demonic factions, several of her disciples died mysteriously.

She planned to investigate the Yan Kingdom in the Netherworld Domain.

Although the war between the righteous and demonic factions had ended, both sides had killed too many people, creating a deep-seated hatred.

Not only her.

Recently, many people from the righteous path had traveled great distances to the Netherworld Domain seeking revenge.

Many demonic cultivators also came to the righteous realm seeking revenge.

The great war seemed to have ended, but in reality, it continued, only shifting from the open to the covert.

Every day, many cultivators died in these feuds.

This great war might continue until their generation of cultivators was wiped out.

Zi Xi asked him, “Fellow Daoist Li, do you have any enemies from the demonic path? If so, I will help you settle your grudges on this trip.”

“Holy Maiden, I have been in Changqing Mountain the whole time and have not directly participated in the battle. How could I have any enemies?”

Li Chang’an said calmly, lying as usual.

He did indeed have enemies, such as Qian Shi and Teng She, but he had already killed them all.

…

The next day.

Li Chang’an saw Zi Xi off.

He calculated with his fingers and realized that Zi Xi’s journey was somewhat dangerous, but she should be able to overcome the danger.

“Zi Xi has remarkable talent. If her spiritual body awakens a few more times, she may one day reach the Nascent Soul realm.”

“Unfortunately, I still haven’t found a way to transfer my spiritual body,”

Li Chang’an sighed inwardly.

He summoned Song Yu’er and touched the void symbols in her sea of consciousness, further enhancing his understanding of the power of the void.

After finishing his comprehension, he suddenly received a message from Ning Cailian.

“Fellow Daoist Li, I have completed the Blood Crystal Secret Realm mission. Do you have time now? If so, please come with me to the Seven Emotions Sect.”

“Yes!”

Li Chang’an immediately replied.

Ning Cailian said, “Alright, wait a moment. I borrowed a fourth-tier flying boat from Senior Yao, and we will arrive at Changqing Mountain soon.”

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ning.”

Li Chang’an prepared himself and waited for Ning Cailian’s arrival.

Several hours later.

A flying boat appeared on the horizon.

Ning Cailian, dressed in a seven-colored robe, stood on the flying boat and smiled at Li Chang’an.

“Fellow Daoist Li, please come with me.”

“Okay.”

Li Chang’an transformed into a stream of light and landed on the flying boat.

The next few days.

The two spent their time on the flying boat.

During the journey, Ning Cailian talked about the Blood Crystal Secret Realm.

“Fellow Daoist Li, you don’t need to worry. Senior Ren Huan is a genius in array formations. Since he says the array is fine, then nothing will happen.”

“I understand, but I’m used to being cautious.”

Li Chang’an smiled as he spoke with Ning Cailian.

Before they knew it, it was late at night.

Just past midnight.

A golden light appeared before Li Chang’an’s eyes.

[The divination has been updated]

[Today’s divination: Auspicious]

[You have entered the Seven Emotions Sect and successfully obtained the *Seven Emotions Profound Technique*]

“It seems there won’t be any surprises.”

Seeing the divination results, Li Chang’an felt reassured.

Not long after,

a Nascent Soul Immortal Sect appeared in his perception.

This sect was shrouded in rosy light, dreamlike and ethereal, like a celestial realm.

It was the Seven Emotions Sect!

At this moment, Ning Cailian said to him, “Fellow Daoist Li, the Seven Emotions Profound Technique is very special and cannot be obtained directly. It requires ‘Seven Emotions Trials’.”

“Why is that? Can’t you just copy it for me?”

“No.”

Ning Cailian explained that this was the special nature of this technique.

It was extremely profound and could not be recorded.

After undergoing the trials of the Seven Emotions, one will naturally learn this technique.

However, although the Seven Emotions Sect has many disciples, very few can pass the trials; almost all end in failure.

Many disciples of the Myriad Arrays Sect also went to the Seven Emotions Sect in hopes of obtaining the Seven Emotions Profound Technique, but none of them succeeded.

“Fellow Daoist Li, don’t have too much hope. Even the current sect leader of the Seven Emotions Sect failed the test.”

“I’ll give it a try.”

Li Chang’an smiled, full of confidence.

The divination had already given him a hint; barring any unforeseen circumstances, he was certain he would pass the test.

He was somewhat curious as to why this technique was so wondrous and couldn’t be recorded on the jade slip.

“Perhaps I’ll understand once I obtain this technique.”

After a while,

the flying boat arrived at the Seven Emotions Sect’s mountain gate.

After Ning Cailian presented her Myriad Arrays Sect identity token, they entered the Seven Emotions Sect smoothly. In the sect’s main hall, they met the current sect leader of the Seven Emotions Sect—

a mid-stage Nascent Soul expert, the Seven Emotions True Monarch!

Upon learning their purpose,

she smiled and said, “You two young friends have come at the right time. My daughter and several disciples are also preparing to undergo the Seven Emotions Trial. Please follow me.”

Just as the divination indicated, the journey was very smooth, without any difficulties.

Li Chang’an and Ning Cailian were led to the edge of a cliff in the back mountain of the Seven Emotions Sect.

This was the trial ground.

There were seven caves on the cliff face.

The Seven Emotions True Monarch explained, “Young friend Li, each of these seven caves contains a test of one’s mental state. If you can pass them, you will obtain the complete Seven Emotions Profound Technique. Observe my disciples’ trials first.”

“Yes.”

Li Chang’an was not in a hurry and quietly observed from the spot.

After a while,

the Seven Emotions True Monarch’s disciple flew into the first cave.

A faint light flashed at the cave entrance, then fell silent, making it impossible to see what was happening inside or sense anything.

Everyone waited quietly outside, and this wait lasted for seven hours.

“He hasn’t come out after seven hours, so he must have failed.”

The Seven Emotions True Monarch spoke gently, explaining to Li Chang’an that this kind of trial would last a maximum of seven hours, and exceeding this time meant failure.

Sure enough. As

soon as she finished speaking, a sleeping figure flew out of the cave and landed in front of her.

It was the disciple who had gone in earlier.

He slowly opened his eyes, and a look of shame appeared on his face.

“Master, I didn’t even pass the first trial. I’m sorry to disappoint you.”

“It’s alright. Go back and rest.”

“Yes.”

The disciple then lowered his head and left.

After him, the second disciple flew into the cliff cave to undergo the trial.

The Seven Emotions True Monarch continued, “Young friend Li, very few can pass even one trial, and it’s even rarer to pass all seven. Passing two or three is already considered extremely excellent.”

Li Chang’an asked, “Senior, how many did you pass back then?”

“Four.”

The Seven Emotions True Monarch spoke gently and responded with a smile.

“Just keep a calm mind. Don’t worry too much about the result. Even many geniuses from the Myriad Array Sect couldn’t pass just one.”

She said this naturally to help Li Chang’an relax.

The Seven Emotions Trial tests one’s state of mind. If he is too tense and under too much pressure, Li Chang’an might not even pass one trial, let alone obtain the complete Seven Emotions Profound Technique.

Ning Cailian secretly transmitted her voice, asking, “Senior, Fellow Daoist Li is a rogue cultivator. He has experienced much along the way, and his mental state should far surpass that of ordinary people. Can he pass the seven trials?” “He

should have a chance of passing three, but the seventh is too difficult,”

Seven Emotions True Monarch simply assessed.

Most rogue cultivators do indeed have more experience than sect disciples, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they have a stronger mental state.
