Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 484

Chapter 484 One Man Destroys a Sect, Brothers for Life (Seeking Subscriptions)

The death of Blood Owl True Person plunged the entire hall into silence once more.

Many of the Zheng family elders seemed petrified, standing motionless, staring blankly at Li Chang’an.

No one had expected it.

Li Chang’an was so audacious, daring to kill even the young sect leader of the Blood Flame Sect.

“This… what are we going to do…”

Zheng Wenbin murmured, his face pale.

If Blood Owl True Person hadn’t died, there would still be room for negotiation; at worst, the entire family would become an appendage of the Blood Flame Sect.

But now…

it was all too late.

Zheng Wenbin secretly regretted his actions. If he had known this would happen, he certainly wouldn’t have gone to find Li Chang’an.

Perhaps Li Chang’an could have survived the wrath of the Nascent Soul cultivator, but the entire Zheng family would surely have perished with Blood Owl True Person!

“Senior Li, why did it have to come to this!”

Zheng Wenbin sighed to the heavens, feeling utterly powerless and filled with sorrow.

The other members of the Zheng family also reacted.

They were indeed shocked by Li Chang’an’s strength, but even the strongest Li Chang’an couldn’t possibly stop a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

“Senior Li, why act this way? This matter hasn’t reached the extreme yet.”

“With Blood Owl dead, how are we supposed to explain to the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Blood Flame Sect?”

“The Blood Flame Sect has two Nascent Soul cultivators…”

They were all bewildered and terrified, as if a great calamity was about to befall them.

Zheng Qingqing, however, remained calm.

She had known Li Chang’an for many years, since the Qinghe Market, and they had weathered countless storms together. She knew Li Chang’an’s character well.

Li Chang’an would never have killed Blood Owl True Monarch without absolute certainty.

“Chang’an, do you have a way to deal with Nascent Soul cultivators?”

she secretly asked via telepathy.

Li Chang’an smiled faintly: “Yes, wait for me here for a moment.”

With that, he soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the distance, heading straight for the Blood Flame Sect’s mountain gate.

Zheng Qingqing silently watched his departing figure, her mind at peace, waiting quietly.

But the others were far from calm.

“Senior Li just left like that?”

Zheng Wenbin’s eyes widened, instinctively assuming Li Chang’an had fled for his life.

Faced with the impending wrath of a Nascent Soul cultivator, if it were him, he would have abandoned everything and fled

as well. Thinking of this, his regret deepened.

After this incident,

the Zheng family was doomed.

Many elders spoke up, urging him to take the core disciples of the clan away.

“Patriarch, you must leave quickly! Take those promising youngsters with you; Nascent Soul cultivators are incredibly fast, it will be too late if you don’t leave now!”

“We old folks staying here might buy you some time.”

They were all prepared to die, wanting to perish with their clan.

Seeing this, Zheng Wenbin’s sorrow deepened.

He asked Zheng Qingqing, “Ancestor, what should we do?”

“Just trust Fellow Daoist Li.”

Zheng Qingqing’s tone was calm, without the slightest panic.

“If you want to leave, you can take people with you.”

“This…”

Zheng Wenbin couldn’t understand.

Even at this point, why did Zheng Qingqing still trust Li Chang’an?

“So be it…”

He sighed inwardly, heading deep into the clan’s territory, taking many core disciples with him, and quietly leaving the Zheng family’s territory.

…

Meanwhile.

Li Chang’an was still on his way to the Blood Flame Sect.

The remaining Nascent Soul

True Monarch of the Blood Flame Sect had the Daoist name “Seven Flames,” and was at the early Nascent Soul stage. Blood Owl True Man was his son.

In Blood Owl True Man’s storage bag, many high-level treasures bore the mark of Seven Flames True Monarch.

Li Chang’an intercepted the aura of the mark and used divination power to deduce it, quickly deducing the exact location of Seven Flames True Monarch.

“Not far from me.”

In the subsequent deductions, Seven Flames True Monarch got closer and closer to him.

Clearly.

Seven Flames True Monarch was coming to kill him, following the mark. Just in

time, Li Chang’an also wanted to kill him and settle the grudge with the Blood Flame Sect.

The two were essentially heading in opposite directions.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Li Chang’an slowly stopped, his eyes deep, gazing into the distance.

Not long after, a streak of light pierced the sky, landing in front of him, transforming into a figure engulfed in flames. It was none

other than Seven Flames True Monarch!

His face was contorted with rage as he glared at Li Chang’an.

“You’re the one who killed me…”

Before he could finish speaking, his expression changed drastically.

Li Chang’an had unleashed a Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Sword Formation without a word.

“Boom!”

Thunder roared, lightning crackled.

Endless sword energy erupted before Seven Flames True Monarch, instantly shattering all his protective treasures and reducing his body to a bloody mist.

Had Li Chang’an not stopped, his nascent soul would have been destroyed.

“Collect!”

With a thought, Li Chang’an used the Three Treasures of Nascent Soul Extinction to collect Seven Flames True Monarch’s nascent soul.

He had kept the nascent soul because, like the golden core, it represented the essence of a cultivator’s entire life’s work.

Certain demonic cultivation techniques allowed one to devour the nascent soul, forcibly absorbing the other’s cultivation.

Of course,

most of these demonic techniques had drawbacks.

They could lead to unstable cultivation, chaotic magical power, or even conflicts.

According to True Monarch Red Puppet, even the Demon Seed Technique doesn’t seem to perfectly solve this problem, as the absorbed magic power isn’t ultimately cultivated by oneself.

Otherwise, True Monarch Guiyi wouldn’t have only absorbed a dozen or so Nascent Souls.

“Keep these Nascent Souls for now, no need to absorb them. If we face a critical situation in the future, we’ll absorb the power of all the Nascent Souls to forcibly enhance our own strength.”

Li Chang’an pondered silently.

To him, these Nascent Souls were merely trump cards.

Furthermore, some special spells required the consumption of Nascent Soul essence to cast, such as the Blissful Heavenly Sound of the Blissful Heavenly Sect.

Such spells were often incredibly powerful.

If he obtained such spells in the future, his Nascent Souls would be useful.

“This Seven Flames isn’t very wealthy; his storage bag only contains about twenty top-grade spirit stones. Perhaps it’s because he hasn’t been in Nascent Soul form for long,”

Li Chang’an glanced at his storage bag.

Afterward, he cleared away all traces of battle and aura, heading towards the Blood Flame

Sect. To save time, he spent a top-grade spirit stone, using the teleportation array to arrive directly outside the Blood Flame Sect’s gate.

“There should still be quite a few treasures in Seven Flames and Blood Flame’s private treasury,”

Li Chang’an thought. He quietly passed through the Blood Flame Sect’s protective array, as if entering an empty field, and looted the entire Seven Flames Sect.

This looting yielded him over eighty top-grade spirit stones.

Thus…

He had over seven hundred top-grade spirit stones in his storage bag.

Having done all this, he raised his hand and summoned a bolt of heavenly lightning.

“Boom!”

A dazzling bolt of lightning instantly pierced the heavens and earth, shattering the Blood Flame Sect’s ancestral hall.

Then

, he slowly spoke, his voice powerful and resonant, like that of a celestial being.

“Blood Flame and Seven Flames are dead. Today, the Blood Flame Sect is destroyed!”

As soon as he finished speaking, in the horrified gazes of countless Blood Flame Sect disciples, the sect’s mountain gate, main hall, library, and everything else exploded.

The entire sect was instantly reduced to rubble!

Many disciples survived, but they were all terrified and scattered in panic.

After this day,

the Blood Flame Sect was officially expelled from the sect.

The assets that originally belonged to the Blood Flame Sect were devoured by other Nascent Soul forces.

Some Golden Core elders, unwilling to accept this, re-established the Blood Flame Sect on a third-tier spiritual vein, attempting to expand and strengthen it, but quickly attracted numerous enemies.

The once-powerful Bloodflame Sect, boasting two Nascent Soul cultivators, was known for its arrogant and domineering disciples, who frequently offended numerous powerful forces.

After the deaths of these two Nascent Soul cultivators, enemies from all sides emerged to settle scores with the remaining members of the Bloodflame Sect.

This news quickly spread throughout most of the Myriad Array Domain.

“A once-powerful Nascent Soul sect, wiped out in an instant!”

“Who knows which powerful figure the Bloodflame Sect offended?”

“It’s rumored that a Nascent Soul Heavenly Monarch intervened; the two Nascent Soul cultivators of the Bloodflame Sect didn’t even have time to resist before being shattered by a bolt of heavenly lightning…”

People discussed amongst themselves, most finding it unbelievable.

Various Nascent Soul sects collectively restrained their disciples, demanding they refrain from evil deeds to avoid provoking hidden experts.

Not long after,

the news reached the Zheng family.

“What? The Bloodflame Sect was destroyed, and both Nascent Soul cultivators are dead?”

Upon hearing this news, many elders of the Zheng family were dumbfounded.

They had all prepared to face the Nascent Soul cultivators head-on, but the situation suddenly changed, a complete reversal of fortune.

The Zheng family’s threat of annihilation was gone!

At this moment…

Li Chang’an pierced the sky and landed outside the Zheng family’s main hall.

He said to Zheng Qingqing, “This matter is over. Focus on your cultivation. If you encounter any trouble in the future, please let me know first.”

“Okay.”

Zheng Qingqing smiled and nodded.

Upon hearing this, the many elders of the Zheng family immediately understood that this matter must be related to Li Chang’an.

The thought of the legendary Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord terrified them.

Could it be that he really invited a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord to help him?

“Senior Li, please have a seat!”

“Senior Li, we misunderstood before. We never imagined that your connections were so amazing.”

They all stepped forward, their tone filled with flattery.

Not long after,

Zheng Wenbin also returned to the clan’s territory with many core disciples.

He was equally unable to calm down; the regret in his heart had long since turned into joy.

“No wonder Senior Li dared to take action. It turns out that he has an unimaginable power behind him. He is not afraid of the Blood Flame Sect at all. My vision was too short-sighted. I couldn’t see the person behind Senior Li.”

Thinking of the news he had heard outside, he was deeply shocked.

He took a deep breath, approached Li Chang’an, and repeatedly thanked him.

“Senior Li, thank you so much for saving my Zheng family.”

“It’s nothing. If you really want to thank me, please help me find some more reclusive coffins.”

“No problem, I will do my best to do it for you!”

“Let it be, no need to force it.”

Li Chang’an waved his hand, not expecting anything from this guy.

Reclusive coffins were rare; getting one was already quite good.

After a brief chat,

he left the Zheng family and rushed back to Changqing Mountain, placing the reclusive coffin in a separate secret chamber.

“I wonder what kind of experience I’ll have this time. It would be best if I could learn a more profound skill.”

“Even if I can’t get a skill, having another identity wouldn’t be bad.”

Li Chang’an secretly looked forward to it.

He summoned the Xuan Shui Turtle and Da Huang, instructing them to guard outside.

“Xiao Hei, you guard the Changqing Mountain formation; Da Huang, you control these fourth-tier puppets. If you encounter a powerful enemy you can’t handle, wake me up.”

“Yes!”

The two demons accepted the order and went to guard outside the cave.

Li Chang’an waited quietly.

Soon,

midnight arrived.

A golden light appeared before his eyes.

[The divination has been updated]

[Today’s divination: Auspicious]

[You have entered the Hidden Coffin and obtained a special spell]

“A special spell?”

Li Chang’an was somewhat puzzled.

The divination was too vague and didn’t specify what it was.

“Enough, thinking too much is useless. I’ll find out once I’m inside.”

He released a burst of magic, lifting the coffin lid.

Then, he leaped up, entered the coffin, and slowly lay down, falling into a deep sleep.

…

He didn’t know how much time had passed.

A voice rang in his ears.

“Yuan’an, Yuan’an, wake up!”

“I got half a bowl of thin porridge. Drink it quickly, and you won’t be hungry anymore!”

Hearing this voice, Li Chang’an gradually woke up.

However,

he couldn’t open his eyes.

Just like his previous two experiences with the Hidden World Coffin, he couldn’t control this body and could only experience everything from a first-person perspective.

After a while,

his eyes slowly opened, and the scene before him gradually became clearer.

What appeared before him was a ragged beggar, about twelve or thirteen years old, emaciated, with hardly any flesh on his bones.

Seeing that he was awake, the beggar grinned and picked up half a broken bowl.

“Yuan’an, drink your porridge! This is a donation from the kind-hearted Master Zhou in the north of the city. It’s so thick you can stand chopsticks upright in it!”

He lifted Li Chang’an’s head and brought the broken bowl to his lips.

With a few slurps, the porridge in the bowl was empty.

Li Chang’an’s body seemed to regain some vitality. He struggled to sit up and thanked him in a hoarse voice.

“Brother Tie Niu, thank you.”

“No need to thank me, we’re brothers!”

The little beggar grinned and poured the last half mouthful of thin porridge from the bottom of the bowl into his mouth.

Through the ensuing conversation,

Li Chang’an learned

that the little beggar’s name was Wang Tie Niu,

and his current body was called Li Yuan’an.

Both of them came from the same village. Due to a bandit attack, all the men, women, and children in the village were killed, and only the two of them survived and fled to the county town, becoming beggars.

Li Yuan’an was weak and caught a cold, and had been relying on Wang Tie Niu for care recently.

Half a month later,

Li Yuan’an gradually recovered.

At this time, they unexpectedly met another fellow villager begging.

“Ergou!”

“Tie Niu, Yuan’an, you’re still alive!”

This fellow villager was called Mo Ergou. He had been looking for wild fruit on the mountain that day, and when he came down, he found the entire village destroyed. He had also come to the county town to become a beggar.

All three had lost their homes and could only rely on each other, becoming sworn brothers in a dilapidated temple outside the city.

Wang Tie Niu was the oldest, becoming the eldest brother.

Li Yuan’an was the youngest, becoming the third brother.

In the years that followed, the three begged together, trying to make a living.

They were occasionally driven away by gangs in the city, and sometimes kind elders would give them pointers on begging techniques. One

day,

they squatted at the street corner, gazing at the braised beef stall not far away, constantly swallowing their saliva.

Wang Tie Niu grinned: “Second brother, third brother, have you ever eaten braised beef?”

“No.”

“Me neither.”

“If we ever have money, the three of us brothers must eat braised beef!”

The three of them secretly vowed.

As they talked, their empty stomachs rumbled again, forcing them to continue begging.

Several months later…

Wang Tieniu suddenly found the two men with a mysterious expression and pulled them to a dilapidated temple outside the city.

“Second brother, third brother, I’ve found a martial arts manual!”

He pulled a yellowed booklet from his robes and placed it before them.

“Once we become martial artists, wealthy lords will hire us as guards, and we’ll be able to afford braised beef!”

“Martial artists?”

Li Yuan’an and Mo Ergou were overjoyed.

Martial artists were always superior and never lacked food or clothing.

After that,

they both began to try practicing martial arts.

However, neither Li Yuan’an nor Mo Ergou had any talent for martial arts and couldn’t get started for a long time.

Only Wang Tieniu had amazing talent; in just a few months, he cultivated a wisp of internal energy.

He quickly used this internal energy to find a job in the government office, receiving a meager monthly salary, and no longer needed to be a beggar.

Hearing this, Li Yuan’an and Mo Ergou were overjoyed.

“Big brother, can we eat braised beef now?”

“No.”

Wang Tieniu looked at the money in his hand, then at the braised beef stall not far away, and secretly swallowed his saliva.

He shook his head and said, “Second brother, third brother, your talents are not good enough, you need martial arts medicine. This money is for you to buy medicine. After the three of us brothers become martial artists and get jobs, we’ll buy some braised beef to celebrate!”

With his unwavering help,

the two brothers became martial artists one after another and successfully got jobs in the yamen.

They were just waiting for this month’s paycheck to buy braised beef.

The three of them were overjoyed and looked forward to this day.

But that night,

a loud “bang” was heard, and the door to their residence was suddenly kicked open.

More than a dozen constables appeared outside, and the head constable at the front pointed at the three of them and said, “It was these three who killed Zhou Dashan’s entire family and framed the magistrate’s son! All of you, get them!”

Hearing this, the three brothers were all shocked.

They immediately realized that they had become scapegoats.

Although the three men possessed some skill, they were no match for more than ten constables, and within moments, each was wounded.

Just then,

Wang Tieniu suddenly roared, his body swelled, and his eyes turned bloodshot. He knocked away numerous constables in succession and charged straight at the strongest constable, the squad leader.

He held him tightly, shouting, “Second brother, third brother, run!”

“Big brother!”

Li Yuan’an was unwilling to leave, picked up his long sword, and rushed towards the squad leader.

But Mo Ergou knocked the long sword from his hand, grabbed him, and rushed out of the house, heading straight for the county town gate.

“Second Brother, let me go!”

Li Yuan’an’s voice was filled with pain as he looked back.

Behind them, Wang Tieniu still clung tightly to the squad leader, preventing him from pursuing them.

The squad leader’s face was grim; his five fingers, like eagle claws, suddenly grabbed at Wang Tieniu.

Wang Tieniu’s eyes were instantly gouged out.

Two streams of blood flowed from his bloodied eye sockets as he screamed hoarsely, “Second Brother, Third Brother, run! Don’t look back!”

Mo Ergou’s eyes were bloodshot, but he didn’t utter a sound, tightly gripping Li Yuan’an as they rushed out of the county town gate.

In the last moment before leaving, Li Yuan’an only saw more than ten large knives slashing at Wang Tieniu’s body, cutting him until he was covered in blood.

For the next half month,

the two hid in the mountains and forests, gradually shaking off their pursuers.

Mo Ergou glanced back in the direction of the county town, his fists clenched tightly.

“Third brother, we can’t practice martial arts. We have no talent for it. We’ll never be able to avenge ourselves in this lifetime. Let’s go find a celestial sect, become immortals, and then come back!”

“Become immortals?”

“That’s right, become immortals!”

And so, the two embarked on their journey to find immortals.

After countless hardships, they finally arrived at a celestial sect, but were unable to enter.

This was because they both possessed inferior spiritual roots.

Forced to leave, they planned to try their luck at another celestial sect, but on the way, they encountered particularly ferocious beasts and nearly lost their lives.

Fortunately, an old man with an air of otherworldly wisdom passed by and swiftly killed all the beasts.

“You two little brats, you only have inferior spiritual roots, so don’t even think about joining a major sect. How about joining my Azure Stone Sect?”

Without much thought, the two bowed down in unison.

“Greetings, Master!”

“Good, I am ‘Mu Changlin,’ and from now on, I will be your master.”

The old man smiled and led the two to the Azure Stone Sect.

Soon,

the two were astonished to discover that the entire Azure Stone Sect only had the three of them!

The ancestral hall had very few memorial tablets, indicating that the sect’s lineage was short and its foundation was almost nonexistent.

Mo Ergou couldn’t help but ask, “Master, what is your cultivation level?”

Mu Changlin patted his head, “Why ask about cultivation level? Don’t be so ambitious. You two should focus on Qi cultivation first.”

With that, he passed on a method for Qi cultivation.

For the next six months,

the two diligently tried to cultivate Qi, attempting to become cultivators at the first level of Qi Refining, but without success.

“Master, how much longer will it take?”

“What’s the rush?”

Mu Changlin, holding a ruler, struck the two.

“What are the ancestral precepts in the ancestral hall? Have you forgotten them? Recite them both!”

“Oh…”

The two were dejected and had no choice but to recite.

“Don’t be impatient, don’t be restless, don’t be greedy…”

After reciting, the two continued their cultivation.

Another six months passed, and they finally cultivated Qi, breaking through to the first level of Qi Refining.

Due to their poor talent and insufficient resources, it took them a full ten years to become cultivators at the second level of Qi Refining.

That wasn’t bad.

After all, their master was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

That day,

the two went down the mountain for training and encountered a monster causing chaos.

Many mortals had already been harmed by the monster.

“That beast!”

Mo Ergou gritted his teeth and charged forward, fighting fiercely to kill the monster.

He thought he had done a good deed.

But that very night,

a group of Qi Refining cultivators stormed the sect.

The leader was the young master of another nearby sect.

That sect was extremely powerful; its sect leader had a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivation, something the small Qing Shi Sect couldn’t afford to offend.

“Who killed my spirit beast?”

Hearing this, both were shocked.

Mu Changlin knew they had caused trouble and hurriedly ran out to apologize.

However, even after sacrificing the entire sect’s resources, the other party still wasn’t satisfied and demanded a life in exchange.

“Senior, please calm down,”

Mu Changlin said humbly, bowing and scraping, repeatedly apologizing.

Li Yuan’an and Mo Ergou wanted to say something, but their mouths were sealed, and they couldn’t speak.

Mu Changlin continued, “Senior, I killed your spirit beast by accident. If you wish to pay with your life, then pay with mine.”

“Fine!”

A deafening roar followed.

Mu Changlin was sent flying, crashing into the Ancestral Hall, a gaping, bloody hole appearing in his chest.

The other party was satisfied and led his followers away.

“Master! Master!”

Li Yuan’an and Mo Ergou rushed to the Ancestral Hall.

Seeing Mu Changlin’s horrific state, both their eyes reddened.

The other party had been extremely ruthless; Mu Changlin had no chance of survival, only his last breath remaining.

Mo Ergou was heartbroken: “Master, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have killed that beast. When my cultivation is complete, I will avenge you.”

“Ergou, Yuan’an…”

Mu Changlin, covered in blood, reached out his withered, aged hand, trembling as he grasped the two men.

“No need…no need to avenge me. Your talents are lacking. Endure…remember the ancestral teachings of the Ancestral Hall…”

Blood trickled from his mouth, his breath weakened, and his voice grew increasingly feeble.

“Do not be anxious, do not be impatient, do not be greedy…do not speak recklessly…do not be easily angered, do not be arrogant…”
