Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 497

Chapter 497 The Purpose of the Blood Sacrifice, Guidance from a Nascent Soul Transformation (Seeking Subscriptions)

During this period, the clones hadn’t found many Burning Heart Flames.

All the clones had only found a little over twenty strands.

Including the leftovers from alchemy,

he had a total of seventy strands of Burning Heart Flames.

“One strand of Burning Heart Flame can be exchanged for ten top-grade spirit stones. Even if the price is lowered, I can still get at least seven or eight.”

For Li Chang’an, these Burning Heart Flames were a great fortune.

He already had over 1,600 top-grade spirit stones; if he included these Burning Heart Flames, his number would exceed two thousand.

“I won’t sell them for now. After the incident at the Blood Crystal Secret Realm, the price of Burning Heart Flames might rise.”

Li Chang’an was very patient and not in a hurry.   Not long after

he withdrew his clones,   the Blood Crystal Secret Realm suddenly changed.   Strands of blood-red light suddenly appeared in the sky above the secret realm, and countless blood-red array patterns emerged within the blood-red light.   ”What’s going on?”   Everyone was extremely surprised and looked up at the sky.   Almost simultaneously…   Crimson array patterns appeared on the ground. A   dense, pungent stench of blood erupted, instantly filling the entire secret realm, so thick it was nauseating.   Everyone felt uneasy, as if a   great calamity was about to befall them. “Not good, it might be the Blood Sacrifice Array!”   ”Didn’t the envoy from the Myriad Arrays Sect say the Blood Sacrifice Array was abandoned? Why is this happening?”   ”Never mind that, get out of here!”   ”Run…”   Many cultivators, their faces filled with fear, rushed towards the secret realm’s exit.   But it was too late.   A crimson barrier had already formed at the secret realm’s exit, blocking everyone’s way out.   No matter how they bombarded it, the barrier remained unmoved.   ”Make way, I have a fourth-tier talisman!”   a Golden Core cultivator suddenly shouted.   Everyone made way, giving him space to unleash his power.   Then   , a beam of spiritual light flew from his storage bag, transforming into a blazing talisman.   An astonishing fourth-tier power erupted, comparable to a full-force attack from an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and amidst everyone’s expectant gazes, it slammed heavily into the crimson barrier.   ”Boom!”   The deafening roar of the attack filled everyone with hope.   But   hope quickly turned to despair.   Under that terrifying power, the crimson barrier remained completely still, without even the slightest tremor.   This meant that its power far exceeded that of the early fourth rank.   ”Why is this happening? What is this thing?”   ”Envoys, envoys of the Myriad Arrays Sect, what’s going on?”   Everyone looked at the disciples of the Myriad Arrays Sect, especially the one responsible for recording contributions and exchanging treasures.   But that person also looked terrified and kept shaking his head.   ”I don’t know either. The sect didn’t tell me anything.”   As they spoke,   the crimson color in the air grew increasingly intense.   Everyone could smell the scent of death.   ”What do we do? We can’t get out!”   Xu An’ye, the sixth son of the Xu family, was filled with panic, pounding on the crimson barrier.   He and many other Xu family members were filled with fear and despair, regretting their actions in their despair.   If they had known that the Blood Crystal Secret Realm would undergo such a change, they would never have coveted these treasures.   ”I was wrong, I shouldn’t have come here. I should have listened to Ancestor Changqing and Ancestor Chang’an.”   ”Ancestor, Ancestor, please save me…”   Xu Anye clutched his communication artifact, his voice filled with fear as he pleaded for help.   He wasn’t alone.   The other cultivators of the Changqing Mountain lineage were all trying their best to contact their own Golden Core cultivators or Ancestor Li Chang’an.   Li Chang’an naturally knew they were pleading for help, but he did nothing, simply standing quietly in the distance watching.   This blood sacrifice might be orchestrated by a Nascent Soul Celestial Lord. Even if he truly had the ability to save them, he couldn’t afford to offend a Nascent Soul Celestial Lord for the sake of a group of juniors, especially since he didn’t have that ability.   He didn’t even dare to inform them beforehand about the opening of the blood sacrifice formation.   Besides,   he had already advised them beforehand.   He had been more than kind to these juniors.   Just then,   two figures arrived from the horizon, heading straight for the entrance to the Blood Crystal Secret Realm.   Li Chang’an was familiar with these two; they were Niu Ben and Ma Biao, two external affairs elders of the Zixia Sect.   The two had been transferred by Zi Xi to the north to investigate matters, and only now did they have the opportunity to come to the Blood Crystal Secret Realm to search for treasures.   ”Finally here!”   ”Sigh, the Supreme Elder’s words have made us waste so much time.”   ”Once we enter the secret realm, I’ll definitely dig it out thoroughly!”   The two hurried along, about to enter, but quickly froze.   A blood-red barrier appeared before them.   Behind the blood-red barrier were countless cultivators crying out in despair.   ”Elder Niu, Elder Ma, save us!”   ”I am an outer sect deacon of the Zixia Sect, elders, please save me!”   Seeing the two figures, many disciples of the Zixia Sect saw a glimmer of hope and cried out for help with all their might.   But how could Niu Ben and Ma Biao dare to save them?   This terrifying scene made their scalps tingle.   They hurriedly retreated, flying swiftly to the horizon, staring at the Blood Crystal Secret Realm with lingering fear.   ”That blood sacrifice formation is still working! Luckily, the Supreme Elder transferred us to the Northern Region, otherwise we would be dead today.”   ”Elder Li Chang’an was right, we must be cautious in everything!”   Both of them were filled with lingering fear, recalling Li Chang’an’s words.   At this moment,   the communication treasures in their storage bags were constantly heating up.

Picking any one of them would elicit a desperate cry for help.

Within the crimson barrier, every cultivator was desperately trying to plead for assistance.

But all was in vain.

The entire blood sacrifice array had come to life, its rich crimson color permeating every corner of the secret realm.

“Ahhh—”

One after another, the people began to scream in agony.

Their skin was torn apart within the array, flesh and blood flying out continuously.

Looking around, thousands upon thousands of pieces of flesh and blood, like a reversed rain of blood, flew from the earth to the crimson sky.

Above the sky, a withered vine faintly appeared. Nourished by the flesh

and blood

, the vine gradually regained some vitality, as if slowly reviving, its entire body turning crimson.

Finally,

a blood-red spiritual flower slowly bloomed on the vine.

When the spiritual flower withered, a crimson fruit appeared.

This fruit was entirely scarlet, seemingly formed from flesh and blood, emanating an eerie aura.

“Not bad, it’s reached the fifth rank, and it’ll be ripe in another month.”

A figure clad in a blood-red robe suddenly appeared, his eyes fixed on the crimson fruit, a hint of satisfaction on his face.

After a while

, another figure appeared beside him.

If Li Chang’an were here, he would recognize this figure as Ren Huan.

He bowed respectfully to the blood-robed cultivator.

“Senior, the formation worked perfectly.”

“Hmm, you did very well.”

The blood-robed cultivator nodded slightly.

“Your Blood Array Spirit Body is quite good, it can even repair the Blood Sacrifice Array. It’s a pity you’ve already become Luo Yu’s disciple. When he reaches the end of his lifespan, you should come to my sect.”

“Thank you for your high regard, Senior!”

Ren Huan’s face lit up with joy.

The blood-robed cultivator added, “You should leave now, the other Nascent Soul cultivators are coming.”

“Yes!”

Ren Huan immediately disappeared, his aura dissipating as well.

Not long after,

more than ten Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords from the Myriad Array Sect appeared, including Luo Yu and Du Yi.

Luo Yu questioned in a deep voice, “Hua Xue, what have you done?”

The blood-robed man pointed to the countless corpses in the secret realm and replied calmly,

“The same as before, using these low-level materials to cultivate high-level treasures. What’s wrong with that?”

The low-level materials he referred to were naturally the countless cultivators who had been sacrificed.

The highest cultivation level among these cultivators was only the early Nascent Soul stage, and most were only at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, yet they could cultivate a fifth-tier spiritual fruit.

If considered from a purely Nascent Soul perspective, this cultivation method was very advantageous to them.

Ninety thousand years ago, they did indeed do this frequently.

But times have changed.

“Hua Xue, when we returned, we established rules and will no longer do the things of the ancient times.”

“Rules?”

The Blood Transformation Heavenly Lord snorted coldly.

“I am a Nascent Soul cultivator, and I am the rule!”

With that, he ignored the crowd and quietly tended to the spiritual fruits.

His demeanor filled the crowd with both anger and helplessness.

The Blood Transformation Heavenly Lord was also a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Myriad Arrays Sect.

His cultivation was not high, only at the early stage of Nascent Soul, but he also cultivated body refinement.

In body refinement, he had reached the mid-fifth rank, his physique comparable to a spiritual treasure, capable of withstanding attacks from various treasures

with his bare hands. The other Nascent Soul cultivators present were unwilling to fight him to the death for a group of juniors, and could only try to restrain him.

…

Meanwhile.

Changqing Mountain, in the courtyard.

Luo Shijie and the heads of the other families arrived one after another, all filled with regret, pleading with Li Chang’an to save their people.

“Ancestor, we were too greedy, blinded by treasures, causing our clansmen to be trapped in the Blood Crystal Secret Realm. You have extensive connections, please think of a way.” “

Too late.”

Li Chang’an shook his head slightly, informing them that the blood sacrifice was over.

“All the cultivators in the secret realm have been sacrificed; none survived.”

Upon hearing this, many family heads were struck dumb, frozen in place. Many of

them

had descendants in the secret realm.

Suddenly faced with this tragedy, they were all devastated, overwhelmed by regret and grief; some even wailed on the spot.

“My son!”

he cried, his face contorted with pain, his heart breaking with sorrow.

The others also wore expressions of grief.

Li Chang’an offered some simple words of comfort and sent them away.

He was on the verge of forming his Nascent Soul and didn’t have the energy to deal with these grieving family heads.

A moment later,

he entered the alchemy room, shielding himself from all outside information, and slowly calmed his mind.

“Hoo…”

Li Chang’an exhaled slowly, his mind now peaceful, his energy and spirit at their peak.

Without hesitation, he sat cross-legged before the alchemy furnace and took out the various materials needed to refine the Nascent Soul Pill.

“Fire!”

With a thought, the alchemical fire blazed.

The raging flames dyed the entire alchemy room crimson.

Immediately afterward, he added the three main ingredients and various auxiliary ingredients one by one into the alchemy furnace, transforming them into clumps of liquid of varying sizes.

Li Chang’an’s expression was focused and concentrated, without the slightest mistake.

Under his careful control, the clumps of liquid fused together in the blazing furnace, eventually becoming a continuously boiling white liquid.

The entire process was fluid and seamless, as if he had refined it countless times before.

Not long after,

a rich fragrance of pills wafted from the furnace.

In the crimson furnace, a perfectly round, jade-white pill floated and sank.

The Nascent Soul Pill was complete!

“Come!”

Li Chang’an raised his hand, and the Nascent Soul Pill flew out of the furnace and landed in his hand.

He examined it carefully, a look of satisfaction on his face.

“Not bad, not inferior, quite high quality, close to premium.”

If this Nascent Soul Pill were outside, it would surely cause a bloodbath.

Even the former Li Chang’an would have been tempted by it.

But now, it meant nothing.

He put it into his storage bag, rested for a moment, and then began refining the second one.

Soon,

the second one was also formed.

Having gained experience from the first refining attempt, this Nascent Soul Pill was of better quality than the first, but still not quite a top-grade pill.

After that,

Li Chang’an refined five more pills in succession.

Including the previous two, he refined a total of seven Nascent Soul Pills today, without a single failure, and all of very good quality.

“The third and fourth pills are of the highest quality, both reaching top-grade.”

“The other five are slightly inferior, but still quite good, and can fetch a good price; I can trade them later.”

After a moment’s thought, Li Chang’an decided to use the fourth Nascent Soul Pill.

This Nascent Soul Pill was of the highest quality, even considered good among top-grade pills.

At this point,

he had all the treasures he needed to form his Nascent Soul.

“For the Nascent Soul stage, I have the help of a high-quality Nascent Soul Pill.”

“The Heavenly Thunder Tribulation can be overcome with the Heavenly Thunder Umbrella.”

“As for the Heart Demon Tribulation, I have prepared more than ten kinds of top-tier Heart Demon Tribulation treasures, as well as a One Heart Pill.”

“The fourth-tier spiritual vein is Evergreen Mountain…”

Li Chang’an silently calculated. The Nascent Soul

stage will also test his essence, energy, and spirit.

His divine sense and physique have both broken through to the fourth tier, so he doesn’t need to worry about the “essence” and “spirit” stages .

As for mana

, his Golden Core mana is several times stronger than a perfect Immortal Golden Core.

If even he can’t pass this stage, there may be no cultivator in the world who can.

After some calculation, Li Chang’an was completely relieved.

“Everything is in place, I will attempt to form the Nascent Soul stage tomorrow!”

He took a deep breath, suppressed all his emotions, tried his best to remain calm, and pondered what was still missing.

“Undergoing tribulation in the outside world would be noticed by outsiders, which is ultimately inappropriate. Fortunately, I have Senior Luo’s promise.”

If it weren’t for his conversation with Luo Yu, Li Chang’an would most likely have chosen to undergo tribulation in his small world, putting himself at risk of its shattering.

After a moment’s thought, he used a communication artifact to contact Luo Yu.

“Senior Luo, I will be forming my Nascent Soul tomorrow. I am worried that someone might interfere secretly. I would be grateful if you could help me.”

Not long after ,

Luo Yu’s voice rang out.

“Alright, I understand.”

Relieved by this reply, Li Chang’an breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Yu had a good reputation; after all, he was a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord, so he wouldn’t break his word. This matter was considered settled.

He immediately put away all his conspicuous treasures, returned to his courtyard on Changqing Mountain, prepared the finest spiritual tea, and waited for Luo Yu’s arrival.

About half an hour later,

Luo Yu appeared and landed in the courtyard.

His gaze was calm as he looked Li Chang’an over.

“Your energy and spirit are abundant, your condition is good. Do you lack any Nascent Soul cultivation treasures?”

“This junior has prepared all the necessary treasures, senior need not worry.”

“Is there anything you want to know?”

“Yes!”

Li Chang’an had no more doubts about Nascent Soul cultivation.

He asked a few other questions, such as about the Blood Crystal Secret Realm.

“Senior, who exactly set up that blood sacrifice array in the Blood Crystal Secret Realm?”

“The Blood Transformation Heavenly Lord.”

Luo Yu did not hide anything and told the truth.

“That blood sacrifice array was not set up by him; it has existed for a long time. He must have had someone repair it. The reason for doing so was to cultivate a fifth-tier spiritual fruit, called the ‘Ten Thousand Blood Fruit,’ a body-refining treasure.”

“I see, thank you for informing me, senior.”

Li Chang’an immediately understood.

The truth of the matter was roughly what he had guessed before; indeed, a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord was plotting behind the scenes.

Although that Blood Transformation Heavenly Lord was ruthless, no one could punish him.

Just as he said,

in the current cultivation world, he was the rule.

“Once you reach the Nascent Soul realm, you no longer need to have any scruples; every word and action is a rule.”

Li Chang’an couldn’t help but yearn for it.

After successfully forming the Nascent Soul, the next step is to become a Nascent Soul.

Only by crossing that threshold can one truly stand at the pinnacle of the cultivation world and do whatever one wants.

Li Chang’an asked again, “Senior, is the Immortal Extinction Alliance conscripting an army? Is the Immortal War about to begin?”

“Yes, but they can’t cross the Great Wall of Array Dao for the time being. You can rest assured and focus on forming your Nascent Soul.”

“Yes!”

For the next period of time,

Luo Yu explained in detail his summary of Nascent Soul formation experience.

As a Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord, his guidance was insightful and could see problems that ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators couldn’t

. His guidance was very helpful to Li Chang’an.

Before he knew it,

it was the morning of the second day.

The morning breeze was gentle, and the sky was full of rosy clouds; it was a good day.

“Thank you for your guidance, Senior.”

Li Chang’an bowed deeply.

Luo Yu said calmly, “It’s nothing, go and form your Nascent Soul.”

“Yes.”

Li Chang’an stood up and headed towards the back of Changqing Mountain, entering the secluded cultivation area he had already prepared.
