Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 476

Chapter 476 Auspicious Clouds Appear, An Unexpected Divination (Seeking Subscriptions)

His life had been far too smooth.

His journey had been filled with joy, without any regrets or sorrow.

His master, Liang Chang, should have died of old age years ago, but unexpectedly found several fourth-tier longevity herbs and was still alive and well.

Furthermore, many of his friends were either highly skilled or had happy families.

After that brutal war between good and evil,

none of his close friends had died!

“Something’s not right…”

Li Chang’an vaguely felt that his life shouldn’t be like this.

It seemed that a special force was guiding him forward, ultimately leading him to this point.

Three months later,

he attended Xu Fugui’s Core Formation Ceremony.

His old friends all came, Ye Hao, Mu Qiuyan, Chu Daniu, and many others were present.

The ceremony was packed, the air filled with the aroma of wine.

Everyone toasted and laughed, but Li Chang’an remained calm.

He glanced around, his gaze sweeping over the familiar faces, and a realization dawned on him.

“This isn’t the real world, and I’m not the real me either; it’s all just a dream.”

Hearing this, Xu Fugui and the others burst into laughter.

Chu Daniu chuckled, “Brother, you must be drunk. If this is your dream, then aren’t we all dreamers?”

“That’s right.”

Li Chang’an nodded slightly, looking at Xu Yang and Liu Sanzhu.

In reality, these two had been gone for many years.

“Second brother, third brother, I never imagined that I would meet you again in a dream.”

He picked up his wine cup, drank it all in one gulp, and then sighed softly.

“Wake up.”

The words had barely left his lips

when a gentle breeze swept by.

Everything around him froze, turning to dust in the wind.

…

Meanwhile.

Outside the cliff.

Ning Cailian and the others were still waiting.

“Six and a half hours have passed, why hasn’t Fellow Daoist Li emerged yet? He’ll fail in another half hour. Could it be that he can’t even pass the first trial?”

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, a hint of worry in her heart.

Seven Emotions True Monarch, however, was somewhat surprised.

“Could it be that I overestimated Fellow Daoist Li?”

Just then, a colorful cloud suddenly descended from the sky, its brilliant light enveloping the first cave.

Seeing this, Ning Cailian breathed a sigh of relief.

“He passed!”

Inside the cave.

Li Chang’an’s gaze was calm as he looked at the colorful cloud outside.

In his mind, the memory of the previous trial was gradually becoming blurred.

It seemed as if a strange force was interfering in the shadows, preventing him from remembering that joyful life.

But just then, a familiar golden light appeared in his mind.

It was the golden light that appeared when the daily divination appeared!

After the golden light flashed, those blurred memories returned to clarity, every detail still vivid.

“So this so-called trial was a false world, like a dream,”

Li Chang’an mused to himself.

Although that world was unreal, it gave him an incredibly real feeling, as if he hadn’t been rejected by the Qingyun Sect back then and had lived a different life within the sect.

“It’s hard to distinguish between reality and illusion, like a dream, somewhat similar to the Dream Dao Technique of True Monarch Fusheng. If he came here, he might be able to pass the seven trials smoothly.”

“The other six trials should be similar to the first one.”

Thinking of this, Li Chang’an collected his thoughts, strode out of the cliff cave, and stood amidst the colorful clouds.

Ning Cailian asked, “Fellow Daoist Li, do you have any memories of the trials?”

“Somewhat vague.”

Li Chang’an shook his head, deliberately feigning confusion.

After a moment, he revealed his clarity and turned to enter the second cliff cave.

Miao Xiqian suddenly spoke, “Fellow Daoist Li spent too much time on the first trial. Judging from past experience, his mental state isn’t top-tier, and it will be difficult for him to pass the second trial.”

Hearing this, Ning Cailian remained silent, because Miao Xiqian’s words were correct.

Li Chang’an had nearly failed even on the first trial.

Although this performance surpassed that of most geniuses, it was impossible to pass all seven trials, let alone the second one.

…

At this moment ,

Li Chang’an was already in the trial illusion.

This time, he didn’t enter the Qingyun Sect, but instead went to Qinghe Market.

After that, he suffered constant oppression.

The demonic beasts he had painstakingly hunted were stolen, and his hard-earned stalls were smashed. It felt as if the whole world was against him.

He was filled with anger, and with great difficulty, he cultivated to the Foundation Establishment stage, returned to Qinghe, and killed all his enemies.

But not long after,

he was oppressed by even stronger enemies.

For the next few hundred years, he spent almost all his time being oppressed and hunted down, always harboring an unreleased anger in his heart.

Anger permeated his entire life.

On this day,

he suddenly learned that

Zheng Qingqing had been killed by enemies and died a violent death.

Li Chang’an was burning with rage and was about to storm his enemy’s sect when he suddenly sensed something was wrong.

“No, I’ve been desperately seeking immortality, meticulously cultivating connections, and avoiding conflict, yet why am I still unable to find peace, without even a place to settle down? Could someone be using divination to manipulate fate and orchestrate all of this for me?”

“I’ll see who dares to target me like this!”

He sneered, reaching for his divination artifact to probe the person behind it all.

But he immediately remembered that he didn’t have any divination artifacts in his storage bag, and he himself wasn’t a diviner.

“I don’t know divination techniques, so why am I thinking about it?”

“Something’s not right. Why did I say ‘again’? Have I experienced something like this before?”

Li Chang’an frowned, pondering for a long time.

Gradually, an understanding arose in his heart.

“My life shouldn’t be like this. Either I’m in a dream, or I’m under an illusion. Wake up!”

As his voice fell, the whole world vanished again with the wind.

The second trial was successfully passed!

Colorful clouds descended from the horizon, enveloping the cliff cave, their light dazzling.

“He passed again!”

“This time it only took five hours, even shorter than last time.”

Miao Xiqian’s pretty face flashed with a hint of surprise.

According to experience, Li Chang’an should have failed.

But not only did he not fail, he shortened the trial time.

This had never happened before.

Seven Emotions True Monarch was also somewhat surprised: “Young friend Li is indeed extraordinary. No wonder he was able to break through to the Golden Core stage in the sealed world of cultivation with his low-grade spiritual root talent.”

Ning Cailian smiled: “I knew Fellow Daoist Li wouldn’t stop at just one trial. Perhaps he can go even further.”

This time, it was Miao Xiqian who remained silent.

If Li Chang’an passed another trial, it would mean his mental state was no less than hers.

A moment later,

Li Chang’an emerged from the cliff cave, still feigning a dazed state, before turning and entering the third cave.

His third trial soon began.

In this trial, he experienced an extremely tragic life.

He awakened earlier than the previous two, passing the trial in just four hours.

Soon,

the third ray of light descended.

Li Chang’an stepped out of the cliff cave, bathed in the light, and a strange feeling gradually arose within him.

This feeling was indescribable and difficult to articulate; it seemed to contain some special power, but he couldn’t control it yet.

At this moment, the Seven Emotions True Monarch spoke: “Young friend Li, carefully sense it; that is the power of the Seven Emotions Profound Art. If you can completely pass all seven trials, you will have hope of mastering that power.”

Hearing this, Li Chang’an focused his mind and concentrated on sensing.

After a while,

the strange feeling gradually dissipated.

He bowed respectfully to the Seven Emotions True Monarch, saying, “Thank you for your guidance, Senior.”

The Seven Emotions True Monarch asked him, “Do you have any doubts?”

“This junior has gained little insight and has no doubts for now,”

Li Chang’an replied truthfully. His comprehension was average, and he couldn’t glean anything from these strange sensations.

He asked Miao Xiqian, “Fellow Daoist Miao, you also passed the third trial. Did you have any special insights before?”

“No,”

Miao Xiqian’s eyes were somewhat complicated as she shook her head slightly at Li Chang’an.

Li Chang’an didn’t ask any more questions, turned around, and walked into the fourth cliff cave, disappearing into the darkness.

The crowd outside remained silent. Although their mindsets differed, they all wanted to see if he could pass this trial.

Three short hours later,

the fourth ray of light descended, illuminating the other three.

“He actually passed!”

Several disciples who hadn’t left yet were shaken. This result was comparable to that of the Seven Emotions True Monarch!

The Seven Emotions True Monarch sighed, “It seems I didn’t overestimate Young Friend Li, but rather underestimated him.”

This result had exceeded her expectations.

And…

Li Chang’an seems capable of continuing.

Could he really pass all seven trials in a row?

The idea appeared in everyone’s minds almost simultaneously.

After a while,

Li Chang’an finished his rest and entered the fifth cave.

This time, he took even less time, passing the trial in two hours.

The sixth trial followed, taking only one hour!

As for the final trial, he realized it was an illusion as soon as he entered the dream, and quickly regained his senses.

“Boom!”

The entire Seven Emotions Sect suddenly trembled.

The seventh ray of light descended from the sky, connecting with the other six, its radiance dazzling and blinding.

After Li Chang’an emerged from the cave, he was enveloped in the radiance.

In that instant,

countless insights flooded his mind.

He immediately sat cross-legged, carefully experiencing all his insights under the astonished gazes of the crowd.

As time passed, the numerous chaotic insights gradually became clear in his mind, transforming into a cultivation technique that was difficult to describe in normal words:

the Seven Emotions Profound Technique!

This technique could be cultivated simultaneously with other techniques. After mastering the basics, one could condense the power of the seven emotions, influencing the emotions of other cultivators.

“This technique is truly remarkable; it can even influence emotions,”

Li Chang’an thought to himself in amazement.

This power of the Seven Emotions, seemingly harmless, could play an unexpected role at crucial moments.

For example, it could sow discord, create grudges, and turn two cultivators or factions into enemies.

As for the Seven Emotions Fire, it was merely an accompanying spell of this technique.

To ignite the fire, one not only needed to learn the Seven Emotions Profound Technique but also find seven treasures as igniters.

“The Heart of Joy, the Stone of Heavenly Wrath, the Tears of Snow Sorrow… these seven treasures are all quite rare. I wonder if the Seven Emotions Sect has them in its treasury,”

Li Chang’an mused.

These seven treasures were all related to emotions and rarely appeared in the cultivation world. If the Seven Emotions Sect didn’t have them, he would have to painstakingly use his connections to find them.

At this moment, the seven-colored glow around him gradually dissipated.

Not long after,

everything returned to calm.

Li Chang’an slowly rose and went to the Seven Emotions True Monarch to express his gratitude.

“Thank you for granting me this opportunity, Senior.”

The Seven Emotions True Monarch’s expression was somewhat strange, as if she couldn’t understand, and she scrutinized Li Chang’an carefully.

Not only her, but everyone else found it unbelievable.

For thousands of years, the entire Seven Emotions Sect hadn’t seen a cultivator pass all seven trials.

They couldn’t understand how strong Li Chang’an’s mental fortitude must be to pass so smoothly.

The Seven Emotions True Monarch sighed softly, “Young friend Li, how are you feeling? Have you obtained the Seven Emotions Profound Technique?”

“This junior has obtained the technique, but it is unfathomably profound, and this junior finds it difficult to grasp even for a while,”

Li Chang’an replied truthfully.

Afterwards, the Seven Emotions True Monarch gave him a jade slip.

Inside the jade slip were the insights of several previous practitioners of the Seven Emotions Profound Technique.

Li Chang’an accepted the jade slip and thanked her again.

Ning Cailian then spoke up, “Fellow Daoist Li, your life’s experiences are probably more tortuous than what is rumored outside.”

Her eyes were deep and inquisitive, as if she wanted to know what Li Chang’an had gone through.

Li Chang’an smiled and said, “It wasn’t too complicated, just some special experiences. It’s not much different from what’s rumored.”

After a few brief words, he inquired about the seven treasures.

Seven Emotions True Monarch informed him, “The Heavenly Wrath Stone and Snow Sorrow Tears are both treasures in our Seven Emotions Sect’s treasury. They are quite valuable, each requiring one top-grade spirit stone in exchange. Do you have any, young friend Li?”

“Yes, please exchange them for me, senior.”

Li Chang’an immediately took out two incomparably precious top-grade spirit stones and handed them to Seven Emotions True Monarch.

Seeing this, the others were somewhat surprised. Even in the Divine Transformation Immortal Sect, there were few Golden Core cultivators who could produce top-grade spirit stones.

However, considering Li Chang’an’s performance in the trials, they understood.

Those who could pass seven trials consecutively likely had special opportunities.

Soon,

Seven Emotions True Monarch retrieved the two treasures for Li Chang’an.

She clearly stated that these two treasures were still in reserve in the Seven Emotions Sect’s treasury.

If Li Chang’an fails to condense the Fire Seed in the future, he can exchange it again, as long as he has top-grade spirit stones.

As for the other five treasures, she will keep an eye out for them for Li Chang’an.

At this moment, Miao Xiqian suddenly spoke up.

“Fellow Daoist Li, the ‘Heart of Joy’ is the heart of a demon beast called the ‘Joyful Beast.’ I am currently searching for the whereabouts of a third-tier Joyful Beast. If we find its hiding place, would you be willing to join me in the fight? I only want its essence blood, nothing else.”

Li Chang’an naturally did not refuse and immediately accepted the invitation.

…

That night.

Li Chang’an and Ning Cailian left.

On the way, Ning Cailian checked the information of the other treasures for Li Chang’an.

“Fellow Daoist Li, the ‘Nether Fear Crystal’ you need can be found deep within the ‘Nether Forbidden Realm,’ but that realm is fraught with danger and will suppress magic power.”

“Suppress magic power?”

Li Chang’an subconsciously thought of the Forbidden Realm.

Many years ago, he had entered the Forbidden Realm with Chi Qingxuan and others to seek opportunities for Chi Qingxuan.

Forbidden Realms also suppress magical power, making it impossible to use magic in many areas, forcing the use of body refinement or divine sense.

After the cataclysmic changes in the world

, more than ten small worlds similar to Forbidden Realms appeared.

The Netherworld Restriction Realm was one of them.

Li Chang’an was unwilling to take the risk, so he asked, “Fellow Daoist Ning, is there a way to trade this item? I am willing to exchange it for top-grade spirit stones.”

Ning Cailian replied, “The sect’s treasury does have it, but I am not qualified to exchange for it. Fellow Daoist Li, you would be best to ask a fourth-level body refinement expert to search for it for you in the realm. According to the records, it is very difficult for body refinement cultivators below the fourth level to reach the depths of the Netherworld Restriction Realm.” “

Alright then.”

Li Chang’an thought for a moment.

Among the cultivators he knew, only Chi Qingxuan and Chi Qingwu focused on body refinement.

They had been preparing for fourth-level body refinement before the war between the righteous and demonic factions, and most of them had already broken through.

” If the reward is high enough, I should be able to persuade them.”

With this in mind,

Li Chang’an used his communication artifact to explain the matter to the two.

However, both indicated that they were about to form their Nascent Souls and were unwilling to take the risk for the time being.

Chi Qingxuan promised, “Fellow Daoist Li, after I successfully form my Nascent Soul and consolidate my cultivation, I will explore that Netherworld Secret Realm for you.”

Chi Qingwu made a similar promise.

Li Chang’an did not urge them, but simply told them to focus on preparing for their Nascent Soul formation.

“The Heavenly Wrath Stone and Snow Tear of Sorrow are in hand, and there’s news about the Heart of Joy and the Netherworld Fear Crystal. Only the Bright Love Flower, the Thousand Evil Fruit, and the Myriad Desire Pill are missing.”

In the following days,

Ning Cailian continued to search for information about the remaining three treasures for Li Chang’an.

She uncovered dozens of internal sect transactions, all related to these three treasures.

“Fellow Daoist Li, these treasures were used immediately after the transaction, and there are no more available for trade at the moment. I will keep an eye out for them for you; just prepare some top-grade spirit stones.”

“Alright, thank you, Fellow Daoist Ning.”

Li Chang’an immediately took out three top-grade spirit stones as payment.

He knew very well that his relationship with Ning Cailian was not enough to make her go to such lengths to help him.

Asking for something would only annoy her; he had to make sure she received something in return.

Sure enough,

upon seeing the three top-grade spirit stones, Ning Cailian’s pretty face brightened considerably.

“Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist Li, if there are any treasures available for trade, I will inform you immediately.”

As they spoke, Changqing Mountain came into view in the distance.

Li Chang’an bid farewell to Ning Cailian and returned to Changqing Mountain, awaiting her good news.

During this time,

he went to the Purple Cloud Secret Realm and, with the help of the fourth-grade superior earth fire within, reforged the Beast Taming Wheel.

Originally, the Beast Taming Wheel was only a low-grade fourth-tier weapon. Li Chang’an added many treasures during its refinement, raising its grade to mid-grade fourth-tier.

He did this to deal with the Joyful Beast that Miao Xiqian had mentioned.

Although the Joyful Beast was only a third-tier weapon, not requiring a fourth-tier Beast Taming Wheel, he was just in case.

“Better safe than sorry!”

Li Chang’an always liked to be fully prepared before taking action.

About half a month later, he received a message from Miao Xiqian informing him that the Joyful Beast’s hiding place had been discovered.

He immediately rushed to the Seven Emotions Sect, and upon arrival, received the latest divination.

[Divination updated]

[Today’s Divination – Auspicious]

[You travel to the north, successfully slay the fourth-tier Joyful Beast, and obtain the Joyful Heart]

“Huh? Miao Xiqian clearly said it was a third-tier Joyful Beast, so why does the divination show it as fourth-tier?”

Li Chang’an pondered, looking at the divination.

Could this Joyful Beast, like him, like to conceal its strength by a whole realm?

“It seems there might be some unexpected events on this trip, but thankfully I’ve made preparations.”

Just then,

he received another message from Miao Xiqian.

“Fellow Daoist Li, when will you arrive? If it takes a few more days, I’ll make my move first.”

“Fellow Daoist Miao, don’t be impatient. I’m afraid that the Joyful Beast is hiding its strength. Our chances of victory are higher if we join forces.”

Li Chang’an immediately asked her to wait a little longer.

Miao Xiqian chuckled, “Fellow Daoist Li is indeed as composed as rumored. Don’t worry, that Joyful Beast is only a peak third-tier demon beast; there won’t be any surprises.”

“That’s true, but it’s always better to be safe than sorry.”

After this conversation,

Miao Xiqian decided to continue waiting for Li Chang’an to arrive.

Li Chang’an then inventoried all the treasures in his storage bag for dealing with demon beasts.

“Beast Taming Wheel, Beast Taming Bell, Demon Suppressing Drum… and these Beast Taming Pills…”

He had a premonition that the Joyful Beast would likely be difficult to deal with.
