Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 491

Chapter 491 Good Deeds Are Rewarded, A Twist of Fate Takes Shape (Please Subscribe)

If Wu Yu hadn’t opened the gate, none of those present would have obtained the treasures.

Therefore, his contribution was immense.

According to the rules,

he should have taken the most treasures.

But rules are always made by the strong.

In this ruin, Ren Huan was the strongest, and his words were the rule.

As long as he accepted Wu Yu as his disciple, he could easily find an excuse, such as “temporary custody,” to legitimately take all the treasures that rightfully belonged to Wu Yu.

In the cultivation world, especially among the nine great immortal sects, such things were not uncommon.

“Wu Yu, this is my disciple’s token. Take it.”

Ren Huan smiled, seemingly gentle, but his tone carried an unyielding domineering air.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, he had plenty of ways to deal with a Golden Core cultivator like Wu Yu.

Not only Li Chang’an, but everyone else present also saw through his intentions.

Yao Lanqin and Mei Mengxuan exchanged glances, displeased but helpless.

Their strength was insufficient, so they could only let this happen.

The other Golden Core cultivators were even more helpless.

“No, there should be a change in this matter.”

Li Chang’an watched silently, pondering to himself.

According to the divination, Wu Yu would give him the Thousand Evil Fruit from the temple.

In other words,

the treasure would not be taken away by Ren Huan.

“The change should come from this temple. The ancestors of the Wugu clan probably prepared methods for their descendants.”

If there was only a method to detect bloodlines, it wouldn’t be very useful.

Other races could threaten the descendants of the Wugu clan to open the door and then forcibly take the treasure.

Li Chang’an speculated

that there should be a way to defend against external enemies in this temple.

He remained calm, his gaze fixed on Wu Yu, waiting for the change to occur.

The others also looked at Wu Yu. They hadn’t guessed the change, but just wanted to see what Wu Yu would do.

At this moment,

Wu Yu’s whole body was tense, and cold sweat poured down his back.

“What should I do…”

He wasn’t stupid, and naturally he could see Ren Huan’s intentions.

If he didn’t become a disciple, he would most likely die here, but becoming a disciple might make him wish he were dead.

He instinctively wanted to ask Li Chang’an for help, but worried about implicating Li Chang’an, so he forcibly suppressed the thought, not even daring to use telepathy.

“Wu Yu, why haven’t you accepted the token yet?”

Ren Huan spoke again, his tone even more domineering.

Along with this came a powerful Nascent Soul pressure.

Wu Yu’s face paled, almost forced to his knees.

But just then,

the temple suddenly changed.

As if sensing his danger, the entire temple dome suddenly turned blood-red.

Countless blood-red patterns appeared, layer upon layer, intertwined, the blood light so dense it overwhelmed countless precious lights.

The blood light descended from the sky, instantly merging into Wu Yu’s body.

“This is…”

Wu Yu looked puzzled, confused.

The next instant,

his aura surged dramatically.

Originally, he was only in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, but after the blood light merged, his aura skyrocketed, instantly breaking through the barrier of the late-stage Golden Core realm, reaching the peak of the Golden Core realm in just a few breaths.

Under the incredulous gazes of everyone…

In just over ten breaths, he crossed the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage, becoming a Nascent Soul True Monarch!

And that wasn’t all.

His aura continued to rise.

Early Nascent Soul, Middle Nascent Soul, Late Nascent Soul…

until it reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage before slowly stopping.

At this moment, his entire body was enveloped in blood energy, his strength immense, no weaker than anyone present, and his aura far surpassed that of Ren Huan, a Nascent Soul Grandmaster!

“How could such a change occur?”

“Breaking through from Golden Core to Nascent Soul is so easy, why didn’t a heavenly tribulation appear?”

“Could it be an illusion?”

The many Golden Core disciples present exchanged bewildered glances, utterly unable to comprehend it, and even suspected they had fallen under some kind of collective illusion.

Yao Lanqin and Mei Mengxuan, however, saw through the illusion.

“So that’s it, it’s the power of bloodline.”

“Indeed, this person should be a descendant of the Wugu Clan. No wonder he could open the temple gate; that restriction must be for detecting bloodline.”

As Nascent Soul disciples, they were knowledgeable and immediately understood everything.

Ren Huan also realized the problem.

He glanced at the dome of the hall, his face darkening.

This sudden power interrupted his plans, forcing him to re-evaluate Wu Yu before him.

“He hasn’t undergone the Nascent Soul Tribulation; his aura is weak and unstable,”

he slowly stated, making his judgment.

“His cultivation level remains unchanged; he’s still a Golden Core cultivator, only temporarily aided by external forces.”

This so-called external force was the power of the Divine Temple.

In other words,

once Wu Yu left the Divine Temple, his strength would drop back to the Golden Core stage.

Mei Mengxuan also said, “Indeed, that’s right. Young friend Wu’s cultivation level hasn’t changed.”

Hearing this, everyone present understood the reason.

They were all curious about what Wu Yu, having received this temporary power, would choose.

The next moment,

Wu Yu cupped his hands and said, “Senior Ren, the matter of becoming a disciple is of great importance, concerning my future cultivation path. Could you allow me a moment to consider it?”

“Alright, take your time to consider,”

Ren Huan nodded slightly, a forced smile on his face, and said nothing more.

Afterwards, everyone entered the Divine Temple to explore its treasures.

These treasures were all of high quality, the lowest being at least third rank, and they were all perfectly preserved. All the medicinal herbs looked as if they had just been picked, with no sign of loss of their medicinal effects.

“The Thousand Evil Fruit!”

Li Chang’an’s eyes were deep as he looked into the depths of the temple.

The Thousand Evil Fruits he needed were of mid-grade fourth rank, displayed alongside numerous other valuable treasures.

There were a total of five Thousand Evil Fruits.

If he obtained them all, he would have five chances to refine them.

However,

he did not act rashly.

“These treasures also seem to have bloodline restrictions, and only members of the Black Bone Clan can use them.”

Li Chang’an held his Stone Eye and quietly used it to observe, discovering that countless spiritual patterns were faintly visible on each treasure.

Because of this, he simply stood quietly, seemingly uninterested in the treasures around him.

The other cultivators, on the other hand, mostly showed joy and excitement.

“So many treasures, if we could obtain even a few, we could exchange them for a large amount of contribution points.”

“I can’t even see through the grade of that crystal; it’s most likely a fourth-rank or even higher treasure.”

“This spiritual herb is also of a high grade…”

Not to mention Golden Core cultivators, even Nascent Soul cultivators like Yao Lanqin were somewhat tempted.

But their expressions remained calm, and they did not show any unusual behavior.

They had also noticed the presence of restrictions.

Ren Huan instructed one of his retainers, “Go and try to fetch that spiritual herb for me.”

“Yes!”

The retainer immediately set to work, channeling his magic power to attempt to retrieve the herb.

However, as soon as his magic power approached the herb, dense spiritual patterns appeared around it, dispersing his magic power.

“This…”

The retainer frowned and channeled his magic power again.

But the result was the same.

After that,

he tried various methods

—talismans, puppets, magical artifacts, etc.—but none could touch the herb.

In desperation, he walked to the herb, reaching out to try and grasp it with his bare hands, but the situation remained unchanged.

Countless crimson spiritual patterns appeared, blocking his hand.

Finally,

he had to return to Ren Huan, his face filled with shame.

“Senior, my cultivation is low, and my abilities are insufficient; I was unable to fetch the herb for you.”

“Hmm.”

Ren Huan seemed to have expected this and was not particularly surprised.

A quarter of an hour later…

Everyone present tried, but none succeeded.

Even the lowest-grade, third-tier low-level spiritual herbs were protected by countless spiritual runes.

These runes were interconnected, seemingly forming a whole with the runes on the dome. Unless one possessed immense power capable of shattering the entire hall, it was impossible to take any treasure.

Yao Lanqin looked at Wu Yu, her tone calm: “Young friend Wu, would you like to try?”

“Alright.”

Wu Yu didn’t refuse, casually grabbing a spiritual fruit beside him.

He didn’t attract any spiritual runes, easily catching the fruit and taking it out.

Seeing this, everyone understood.

“Indeed, it’s still a matter of bloodline.”

“All the treasures here are reserved for the descendants of the Wugu Clan; we are not qualified to enjoy them.”

Although they were somewhat unwilling, they were helpless.

Bloodline determined everything.

Just then,

Wu Yu suddenly asked Li Chang’an,

“Fellow Daoist Li, do you need anything?”

“The Thousand Evil Fruit.”

Li Chang’an pointed to the depths of the temple.

Wu Yu raised his hand, and five Thousand Evil Fruits flew out simultaneously, landing in a jade box in his hand.

He handed it to Li Chang’an, saying, “Fellow Daoist Li, I have no way to repay your life-saving grace. These five Thousand Evil Fruits are a small token of my appreciation. Please accept them.”

“Alright!”

Li Chang’an smiled and did not refuse, accepting the jade box.

Thus,

the purpose of this trip had been achieved.

“These five Thousand Evil Fruits are all extremely well-preserved and of very high quality.”

Li Chang’an opened the jade box and carefully sensed them.

Thousand Evil Fruits were also treasures related to emotions.

As he examined the quality of the Thousand Evil Fruits, various evil thoughts kept flooding his mind.

Fortunately, his self-control was strong enough that these evil thoughts had no effect on him and were quickly suppressed.

Wu Yu then said, “Fellow Daoist Li, five Thousand Evil Fruits alone cannot repay your life-saving grace. Is there anything else you need?”

“Let me see…”

Li Chang’an looked around and pondered for a moment.

After a while,

he listed more than ten kinds of spiritual herbs needed for subsequent body tempering, as well as several portions of fourth-tier essence blood and many treasures needed for Da Huang’s advancement.

Wu Yu continuously made moves, fetching treasures for him and handing them to him one by one.

This scene

made everyone somewhat envious.

If they had known earlier that Wu Yu’s bloodline was so important, they would have rushed to save him instead of standing aside and watching coldly.

Unfortunately, hindsight is always 20/20.

“Alas, if I had intervened then, perhaps I could have obtained the treasure now. Is this what they mean by ‘good deeds bring good fortune’?”

“Good people shouldn’t live long, how could they receive such a reward…”

The current situation filled them with both regret and remorse, wishing they could turn back time to the moment Wu Yu cried for help and intervene in Li Chang’an’s place.

A moment later ,

Li Chang’an stopped demanding the treasures.

He had a clear understanding of the boundaries; although it would attract envy, Yao Lanqin’s status as a guest elder was enough to protect him.

Asking for more would only invite further covetousness and cause trouble, a loss that wouldn’t outweigh the gain.

“This trip is considered successful; I can escape smoothly. However, Wu Yu is a bit of a problem,”

Li Chang’an mused to himself.

He had only obtained a very small number of treasures within the temple, yet many around him were already green with envy.

Wu Yu, however, lacked the status of the Myriad Arrays Sect, being merely a cultivator from an affiliated sect with relatively low cultivation, yet he possessed all the treasures of the entire temple.

These treasures were both an opportunity and a potential calamity!

Once he leaves the temple, he will inevitably be ambushed and killed, making it difficult to return to his sect alive.

Even if he manages to return alive, the entire Thousand Demon Sect will be dragged down by him, and might even be wiped out overnight.

Unless he stays there forever.

Just then,

Wu Yu secretly transmitted his voice to him.

“Fellow Daoist Li, I understand my own bloodline. I am indeed a descendant of the Wu Gu Clan. Just now, when my strength increased, many Wu Gu Clan cultivation methods appeared in my mind. My future path is clear, but I can’t leave now.”

He spoke of his current predicament, his voice full of worry.

The path of cultivation is clear, and he has countless treasures to help him, yet he is trapped in the temple.

“Fellow Daoist Li, what should I do?”

“Don’t worry, let me think…”

Li Chang’an pondered for a moment.

In the current situation, he didn’t have a good solution either.

Ultimately,

all the trouble stemmed from insufficient strength.

He could only say to Wu Yu, “Fellow Daoist Wu, everyone here is watching you. If you leave the temple, you won’t be able to save your life. You can only cultivate here.”

“Am I supposed to stay in the temple forever?”

“That’s right.”

Li Chang’an told him to be patient.

This temple was his home ground. As long as he stayed here, he would have the strength of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator.

Moreover, Li Chang’an vaguely felt that the peak Nascent Soul stage was not the limit.

Above the dome,

there were still many hidden spiritual patterns.

If they were to fully erupt, they might be able to approach the Divine Transformation stage.

“Fellow Daoist Wu, if you don’t want to give away all your treasures, you can only use the temple as your training ground and cultivate in seclusion here for a long time until you reach the late or peak Nascent Soul stage.”

Li Chang’an explained the situation to him calmly.

Staying in the temple,

only a Divine Transformation Heavenly Lord could deal with Wu Yu.

“If a Divine Transformation Heavenly Lord really makes a move, you should offer all your treasures as a gift to become their disciple.”

“Alright, that’s the only way.”

Wu Yu was naturally unwilling to give away his treasures to Ren Huan and the others. Doing so would be tantamount to cutting off his own path to cultivation.

Furthermore, due to the unique nature of his bloodline, even if he gave away the treasures, he might not be able to save his life.

At this moment,

Ren Huan brought up the matter of becoming his disciple again.

“Young friend Wu, have you thought it through? Are you willing to become my disciple?”

“Senior Ren, this matter is of great importance. Please allow me to think about it some more.”

Wu Yu did not directly refuse.

However, everyone present could hear the refusal in his words.

In this case, Wu Yu would most likely not leave the main hall and would continue to cultivate here.

Ren Huan said with a stern face, “Young friend Wu, this Wu Gu Clan ruin has been taken over by my Wan Zhen Sect. Do you really think you can cultivate here for a long time?”

Wu Yu did not reply, but quickly checked the other treasures in the treasure vault.

The reason for doing this was that Li Chang’an was transmitting his voice to him.

“Fellow Daoist Wu, look carefully. I suspect that among these treasures, there are treasures specifically designed to help you escape.”

As he spoke, Li Chang’an was also quietly searching.

His suspicion was not without reason.

The ancestors of the Wu Gu Clan left behind so many treasures, they should have considered the possibility of their descendants being intercepted and hunted down.

A moment later.

Wu Yu seemed to have made a discovery.

He unleashed a burst of magical power, taking a special crystal from the deepest part of the treasure vault.

In that instant, the entire temple trembled.

“Buzz…”

Countless crimson spiritual patterns emerged, intertwining in the center of the temple, gradually transforming into an array.

Everyone present was quite familiar with this array.

A teleportation array!

Upon seeing this array, Ren Huan’s expression immediately turned extremely grim.

Outside the array were various crimson spirit patterns, clearly a kind of restriction, capable of blocking outsiders. Only the descendants of the Wugu Clan could use this teleportation array.

In other words,

Wu Yu no longer needed to worry about being intercepted.

He could simply take all the treasures, step onto the teleportation array, and leave this place.

“The ancestors of the Wugu Clan were quite reliable,”

Li Chang’an thought to himself, glancing at the teleportation array.

Wu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, his expression becoming relaxed.

He transmitted his voice to Li Chang’an: “Fellow Daoist Li, this temple is not safe enough. After I take all the treasures, I will leave through the teleportation array. I don’t know when we will meet again. Do you have any treasures you need?”

“No, I don’t need any more,”

Li Chang’an didn’t ask for any more.

He only reminded him: “Fellow Daoist Wu, this teleportation array was built in the ancient era of myriad races. The cultivation world at that time was far larger than it is now. After so many years, the situation on the other end of the teleportation array is hard to say.”

“This…”

Hearing this,

Wu Yu’s heart, which had just settled, became anxious again.

Just as Li Chang’an said, the other end of the teleportation array might have been destroyed.

Even if it wasn’t damaged, other unexpected events might occur, such as the area becoming a dangerous or even deadly place over the long years.

If that were the case

, he might face a life-or-death crisis as soon as he was teleported there.

“Fellow Daoist Li, what should we do?”

“Don’t worry, you had no choice before, but this teleportation array gives you another way. You can continue cultivating here, and try the teleportation array again if you encounter a life-or-death crisis.”

Li Chang’an’s tone was calm as he offered advice.

Just then,

he suddenly sensed

a Nascent Soul aura appearing within the ruins.

“Luo Yu’s aura.”

Li Chang’an stopped transmitting his voice and withdrew his divine sense and magic power.

The next instant,

Luo Yu’s figure appeared in the temple.

“Greetings, Heavenly Lord!”

Everyone bowed in unison, their expressions extremely respectful.

Luo Yu remained calm, his gaze sweeping over everyone, lingering on Li Chang’an for a moment.

“I heard that this place is fraught with danger, with countless deaths and injuries, so I came to take a look.”

As he spoke, he released a burst of magic power, lifting everyone up.

He said to Yao Lanqin, “Lanqin, tell me about the situation here.”

“Yes!”

Yao Lanqin immediately replied, recounting her experiences over the past few days in detail.

After she finished speaking,

Luo Yu’s calm gaze fell on Wu Yu.

“Wu Yu, would you be willing to become my disciple?”

Hearing this, many people present were taken aback.

Did Luo Yu also want to steal the treasure?

Wu Yu felt bitter and sighed inwardly, realizing he couldn’t protect the treasure.

Facing a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord, he wasn’t confident he could reach the teleportation array.

At this moment,

Li Chang’an transmitted his voice to him.

“Fellow Daoist Wu, you can become my disciple. Senior Luo isn’t that kind of person; he won’t steal your treasure.”

Hearing this, Wu Yu was overjoyed.

He trusted Li Chang’an and, without hesitation, immediately stepped forward and knelt down.

“Disciple Wu Yu greets Master!”

“Hmm, from today onwards, you are my disciple.”

Luo Yu nodded slightly and pointed a finger at Wu Yu’s brow.

Then, he glanced at Li Chang’an.

As a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord, he could naturally intercept Li Chang’an’s voice transmission.

He withdrew his gaze and said to Wu Yu, “Don’t worry, all the treasures here are yours. Make good use of them; becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator is a certainty, and reaching the peak of the Core Formation stage will be no problem.”
