Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 475

Chapter 475 Living to Immortality Together, A Lifetime of Joy (Seeking Subscriptions)

Major sects deliberately arrange trials for their disciples to hone their mental fortitude.

The higher one’s talent, the more trials they are given.

The mental fortitude of these prodigies is no worse than that of rogue cultivators.

“The prodigies of the Myriad Array Sect all possess remarkable mental fortitude, but few can pass the three stages,” said

the Seven Emotions True Monarch in a calm tone, casually mentioning a few geniuses who had previously come here for trials.

“Young Friend Ning, do you perhaps think that Young Friend Li is stronger than the prodigies of the Myriad Array Sect?”

“This…”

Ning Cailian fell silent.

The Seven Emotions True Monarch’s words were true; Li Chang’an was good, but still not as good as the prodigies of the Divine Transformation Immortal Sect.

Li Chang’an then spoke: “Senior, could you tell me what’s inside that cliff cave?”

He wanted to know the specific trial content so he could prepare.

But the Seven Emotions True Monarch informed him that

the vast majority of those who participated in the trial would lose all memories related to the trial the moment they left the cliff cave.

Only a very few would vaguely remember a few blurry details.

Therefore…

No one could say for sure what the trial entailed.

After all, it was a trial of the mind, and perhaps everyone faced a different one.

Seven Emotions True Monarch vaguely remembered seeing her deceased parents during the trial.

“Seeing the deceased?”

Li Chang’an mused.

This trial was truly strange; no one could explain it clearly, and the specific rules were unknown. He had never experienced anything like it before.

“Senior, why is this Seven Emotions Trial so special? Is it a method left behind by the ancestors of the Seven Emotions Sect?”

“No, my Seven Emotions Sect’s ancestors were merely Nascent Soul cultivators; how could they possess such abilities?”

Seven Emotions True Monarch smiled and shook her head.

She told Li Chang’an that this cliff and its seven caves existed long before the Seven Emotions Sect was established.

The reason the Seven Emotions Sect’s ancestors chose this place to establish their sect was because of the trial here.

To this day ,

no one knows what era this cliff dates back to, or who left it behind.

The Myriad Array Sect once tried to take the cliff away, but even a Nascent Soul Heavenly Monarch couldn’t budge it an inch.

“Even a Nascent Soul cultivator couldn’t pass?”

Li Chang’an was secretly surprised.

Could it be that

the cultivator who left this cliff was even more powerful than a Nascent Soul cultivator?

If that were the case, this item was most likely a treasure from the mythical era, a time when many powerful beings surpassed the limits of heaven and earth.

He pondered silently, and before he knew it, four hours had passed.

Suddenly, the rosy

clouds on the horizon intensified.

A colorful cloud descended from the sky, enveloping the first cliff cave, making the entire cave radiant and dreamlike.

“I passed!”

Li Chang’an composed himself and looked at the cliff cave.

According to the Seven Emotions True Monarch, this change meant that the trial had been passed.

A moment later,

the disciple emerged from the cliff cave, a dazed and confused expression on his face, staring blankly at the colorful clouds on the horizon, as if trying to recall something.

After a while, the confusion in his eyes gradually dissipated.

He bowed to the Seven Emotions True Monarch.

“Master, I have passed the first trial.”

“Do you remember the trial’s content?”

“No.”

“Go to the second trial.”

“Yes!”

He turned and flew into the second cave to continue the trial.

Everyone waited quietly outside.

Time slowly passed, and soon seven hours had gone by.

“Seven hours and I still haven’t passed; I’m probably about to fail,”

Li Chang’an thought to himself.

Just then

, a sleeping figure flew out of the cave and landed in front of the Seven Emotions True Monarch.

He slowly opened his eyes, regained consciousness, and looked ashamed.

“Master, my mind was too calm; I couldn’t pass the second trial.”

“Passing one is already quite good. Go back and rest well.”

The Seven Emotions True Monarch spoke gently, without any reproach to his disciple.

After that,

the remaining disciples took turns undergoing the trials, with only one person able to pass both.

The rest either failed or could only pass one.

Their status as disciples of the Seven Emotions True Monarch indicated their exceptional talent; they were the holy sons and daughters of the Seven Emotions Sect, yet even so, they struggled to achieve great results.

This confirmed what the Seven Emotions True Lord had said earlier.

Passing three trials was already quite remarkable; passing seven was almost impossible.

Finally,

the Seven Emotions True Lord’s daughter, Miao Xiqian, began her trials.

Her cultivation talent was exceptional, her spiritual root was of the Heavenly Rank, and her mental state far surpassed that of ordinary people. She honed her mental state through various trials almost every so often.

“Xiqian should be able to pass the three trials,”

the Seven Emotions True Lord said with a gentle gaze, his eyes fixed on the first cave, smiling as he made his judgment.

Several hours later, a ray of light descended from the sky, signifying that Miao Xiqian had passed the first trial.

She then passed the second and third trials in succession, her pretty face full of confidence.

“Mother, I will definitely pass all the trials!”

she said clearly, flying confidently into the fourth cave.

However,

for the next seven hours, no more rays of light descended.

When the trial ended, Miao Xiqian emerged from the cave in a slumbering state, landing before the Seven Emotions True Lord.

Her eyelids trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes, her expression complex.

“Mother, I failed.”

“Don’t be too ambitious. Being able to pass three trials shows that your mental state is far superior to that of your peers.”

True Lord Seven Emotions comforted you with a smile.

Miao Xiqian stood up, gazing at the fourth cave, seemingly somewhat unwilling, but ultimately only sighed softly.

She looked at Li Chang’an and Ning Cailian, asking, “Fellow Daoists, are you also going to undergo the trial?”

“I…”

Ning Cailian hesitated.

She had originally only accompanied Li Chang’an, but Miao Xiqian’s words gradually made her consider it.

Li Chang’an smiled, “Fellow Daoist Ning, why don’t you try it first?”

“Alright!”

Ning Cailian no longer hesitated, immediately transforming into a stream of light and flying into the first cave.

Several hours later.

A colorful sunset descended from the horizon. Ning Cailian

emerged from the cave, her colorful robes fluttering, her pretty face showing a slightly dazed expression, which quickly turned into joy.

“Fellow Daoist Li, I passed the first trial!”

“Fellow Daoist Ning, do you remember the content of the trial?”

“Somewhat vague…”

Ning Cailian tried hard to recall.

After a moment, she shook her head: “Fellow Daoist Li, the more I think about it, the more vague it becomes; I really can’t remember.”

Hearing this, Li Chang’an didn’t ask any further questions.

Ning Cailian quickly entered the second cave.

Several hours later, she successfully passed this trial, but ultimately failed the third.

Although she was merely a maid and held a low position in the Myriad Array Sect, her mental fortitude rivaled that of top geniuses from a Nascent Soul sect like the Seven Emotions Sect, a truly rare feat.

Finally,

only Li Chang’an remained to undergo the trial.

Under the watchful eyes of the others, he calmly flew into the first cave, his figure disappearing into the dark entrance.

Miao Xiqian then spoke up: “Fellow Daoist Ning, could you tell me about Fellow Daoist Li’s experiences?”

“Of course,”

Ning Cailian immediately recounted the experiences she knew.

These experiences were all circulating outside, such as the time Li Chang’an was targeted by the Huanghe Mountain lineage.

Although it was only a small part of his life’s experiences, it was still full of hardships and twists.

After listening to her…

The Seven Emotions True Lord said gently, “As your mother, I believe that young friend Li has an extraordinary mindset and can pass all three trials. Xiqian, what do you think?”

“He should be able to pass two, but the third is hard to say,”

Miao Xiqian stated her judgment.

She considered herself to have more experiences and more tortuous journeys than Li Chang’an, yet she had only passed three trials.

Li Chang’an was probably not as good as her.

Hearing this, Ning Cailian said nothing, but secretly hoped that Li Chang’an could pass more trials.

…

Meanwhile.

Li Chang’an was walking in a secluded and deep cliff cave.

The entire cave was pitch black, and there seemed to be a strange power around him that could shield all his senses.

As he walked, he suddenly felt dizzy, unable to control his body, and gradually collapsed.

He didn’t know how much time had passed.

He vaguely heard several people calling him and shaking his body.

“Brother Li, wake up! We’re almost there!”

“What’s wrong with Brother Li? Why has he been sleeping for so long? Has he caught a cold?”

“Don’t talk nonsense! Brother Li is a martial arts master. He can fight his way in and out of the imperial city seven times. What’s a mere cold to him?”

“…”

More and more voices called his name, men and women, all familiar, gradually becoming clearer.

Li Chang’an slowly opened his eyes, and before him appeared worried faces.

“Fugui, Da Niu, Qiu Yan…”

He rubbed his forehead, feeling dizzy, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness and forgotten many things.

However, he remembered what he was doing:

Seeking Immortality!

Back then, he had taken Xu Fugui away from the village and embarked on the path of seeking immortality. Along the way, they had overcome countless hardships and dangers, and more and more people followed him.

Now, they were not far from the legendary immortal sect.

They only needed to cross a few dozen more mountains to reach it.

“Brother Li, are you alright?”

Xu Fugui squatted beside him, asking with concern.

Li Chang’an smiled: “I’m fine, I just overslept.”

He slowly got up, stretched his body, and circulated his inner energy, quickly dispelling the dizziness and fatigue, and his whole body became radiant.

Then, he led everyone to the legendary immortal sect.

Along the way, they encountered some exceptionally ferocious beasts, far stronger than any he had ever encountered in the mortal world, the strongest even comparable to a martial arts grandmaster.

Fortunately, his team possessed formidable overall strength, easily overcoming each obstacle.

Halfway through their journey,

Su Yuyan rubbed her calves, her face contorted in pain, and cried out in a soft, sweet voice, “Brother Li, I’m so tired, I can’t walk anymore.”

Li Chang’an smiled, picked up the not-yet-seven-year-old girl, and continued their journey towards the Immortal Sect.

More than half a month later

, a flying boat suddenly flew overhead, weaving through the clouds.

“It’s an immortal! Look!”

“It really is an immortal!”

“We’re almost there!”

The group was overjoyed, their spirits lifted, their faces filled with hope.

Li Chang’an also felt a surge of joy.

The appearance of this flying boat proved his goal was correct; the legendary Immortal Sect truly existed!

As a martial arts expert, his eyesight was exceptionally sharp, and he could vaguely see several timid children on the flying boat.

“Those children must be the immortal seedlings that the immortals have descended the mountain to seek.”

Filled with joy, Li Chang’an led his group through mountains and rivers, drawing ever closer to their goal.

Finally, a massive immortal gate appeared before them.

Within the gate, clouds and mist swirled, countless pavilions and towers appearing and disappearing, and occasionally white cranes would fly out—exactly like the legendary immortal sects.

Outside the gate, many mortals were waiting.

Li Chang’an walked over and asked one of them,

“Brother, what are you waiting for here?”

“Waiting for the immortals to test our spiritual roots.”

The man told him that in half a month, an immortal would emerge to test the spiritual roots of all of them.

Only those with spiritual roots could embark on the path of cultivation.

Hearing this, Li Chang’an told everyone to rest outside the gate and wait for half a month.

Su Yuyan lay in his arms, her little hand touching her belly.

“Brother Li, I’m hungry.”

“Eat.”

Li Chang’an took out some dry rations, crushed them, and fed them to Su Yuyan.

Su Yuyan quickly ate and drank her fill, her little face full of satisfaction, looking towards the immortal gate ahead.

“Brother Li, even if we can’t become immortals, it’s alright.

We can live our lives in the mortal world. You’re a martial arts master, no one will dare to bully you.” “Yu Yan, mortal lifespans are too short. We should become immortals who live forever.”

“Alright, Brother Li, I want to live forever with you…”

Su Yu Yan spoke childishly, smiling as she talked about the future.

Half a month passed in a flash.

On this day

, an immortal finally appeared to test everyone’s spiritual roots and temperament.

Most of the mortals present had no spiritual roots and had to leave disappointed.

The few who were found to have spiritual roots almost all had inferior or low-grade spiritual roots. If they were too old, they would also be unable to enter the immortal sect.

Not long after, Xu Fugui stepped forward nervously to be tested.

A moment later

, the immortal said expressionlessly, “Low-grade spiritual root, average temperament, too old. You have no affinity with my Qingyun Sect. Leave.”

Xu Fugui trembled, his energy and spirit instantly dissipated, and he returned to Li Chang’an’s side dejectedly.

Following him, Chu Daniu, Ye Hao, and others stepped forward in turn, but their test results were all unsatisfactory, and none of them could enter the sect.

Finally,

Li Chang’an stepped forward carrying Su Yuyan.

Su Yuyan stretched out her small hand and pressed it on the spirit-testing stone, which suddenly burst forth with a light more dazzling than ever before.

“Mid-grade spiritual root!”

The immortal nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction appearing in his eyes.

Su Yuyan also performed well in the subsequent character test.

“Brother Li, can I become an immortal?”

“Yes.”

Li Chang’an smiled, placed her aside, took a deep breath, and conducted the spiritual root test.

The spirit-testing stone also glowed, but the light was dim, even less than Xu Fugui’s, barely reaching the low-grade spiritual root.

His cultivation talent was not ideal, but his character was good, receiving an excellent evaluation.

However,

the immortal stated that he was too old and had no affinity with the immortal sect.

Hearing this, Su Yuyan, though young, understood that separation had come, and her eyes welled up with tears, her small hands tightly gripping Li Chang’an’s sleeve.

“Brother Li, let me go with you. I don’t want immortality anymore.”

“Yu Yan, cultivate diligently. I’ll try my luck at other immortal sects. We’ll surely meet again someday,”

Li Chang’an said with a smile, trying to comfort her.

But the more he tried to comfort her, the more heartbroken Su Yu Yan became. Soon, her eyes were red from crying, and she clung to him tightly.

Li Chang’an felt helpless.

He naturally wanted to stay, but his talent was simply too poor; perhaps immortality was hopeless in this lifetime.

Just then,

an aged voice suddenly rang out from inside the mountain gate.

“Sigh, why can’t you younger generation be more flexible? Why separate the siblings?”

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man in a green robe floated down from the clouds.

He came before Li Chang’an and said, “I am Liang Chang, a Golden Core Elder of the Qingyun Sect. Although your talent is lacking, your character is good. Would you be willing to become my disciple?”

Hearing this, Li Chang’an was overjoyed.

He had already planned to leave, but suddenly the situation changed, and he immediately bowed to Liang Chang.

“Disciple Li Chang’an greets Master!”

“Hmm.”

Liang Chang nodded slightly, bestowing upon him a token and a storage bag, instructing him to cultivate diligently.

Afterwards, Su Yuyan was accepted as a disciple by an old woman.

Both of them successfully entered the Immortal Sect.

After bidding farewell to many friends, Li Chang’an began his cultivation at the Qingyun Sect.

His excellent character earned him Liang Chang’s trust, allowing him to serve at his side. The guidance and treasures he received far exceeded those of other disciples, even surpassing most formal disciples.

His cultivation level steadily improved, and he performed increasingly well in the annual disciple competitions.

However,

due to limitations in his talent,

he could never surpass the most outstanding disciples of his generation.

Just as Li Chang’an was troubled by this, he unexpectedly obtained a fortuitous opportunity. Inside a seemingly broken bracelet, he discovered a storage space.

That storage space was filled with various treasures needed for Qi Refining stage cultivation.

“I actually obtained such an opportunity!”

He was overjoyed. In

the years that followed, he used this opportunity to rapidly increase his cultivation level and successfully establish his foundation.

After establishing his foundation, the treasures in the bracelet were no longer of much use to him.

His cultivation slowed down again.

“Master said that for a low-grade spiritual root, being able to establish a foundation is already quite good; it’s very difficult to reach the Core Formation stage. The entire Southern Region hasn’t seen a cultivator with a low-grade spiritual root who has achieved Core Formation for a thousand years.”

Li Chang’an was somewhat troubled again.

But not long after, he unexpectedly obtained a second fortuitous opportunity.

The inheritance of a Nascent Soul True Monarch!

He was overjoyed, almost thinking he was under an illusion, unable to believe that he could obtain such a heaven-defying opportunity.

With the help of numerous treasures passed down through generations, he successfully formed his Golden Core, breaking a thousand-year record.

Afterwards, he encountered numerous opportunities, his cultivation steadily rising until he reached the late Golden Core stage, wielding the sect’s most prized treasure and becoming its current sect leader.

Under his leadership, the Qingyun Sect successfully weathered the Great War between the righteous and demonic factions, suffering minimal losses.

One day,

a disciple rushed to him, pleading, “Master, I’ve heard a new secret realm has appeared in the south. I want to explore it.”

Li Chang’an blurted out, “Don’t rush. New secret realms are always fraught with danger. Allow me to perform a divination first.”

He then prepared to take out his divination artifact.

But suddenly, he froze.

“Wait, I’m not a diviner. Why would I say such a thing?”

Li Chang’an frowned, sensing something amiss.

He stepped out of the sect’s main hall, gazing at the surrounding landscape, feeling as if something was missing.

“My life has been smooth sailing, with everything I wished for coming true and surprises happening one after another. Since I started cultivating, I’ve never encountered any adversity. But can life only be joyful? Am I perhaps favored by heaven?”

Just then,

he received a message:

【Xu Fugui Successfully Forms Core】

Upon seeing this message, Li Chang’an was even more puzzled.

With Xu Fugui’s talent and temperament, reaching the Foundation Establishment stage would be quite an achievement, how could he possibly form a Core?

“I did give Fugui some resources, but he couldn’t possibly have reached the Core Formation stage.”

Li Chang’an should have been happy for his good brother’s Core Formation, but the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
