Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 504

Chapter 504 Slaying Huang Sha in Public, Another Lin Fan (Please Subscribe)

The Nascent Soul Ceremony, which should have begun, was delayed due to this sudden change.

Many lower-level cultivators were puzzled, looking in the direction the crowd had left.

“What happened? Why have all the Nascent Soul True Monarchs left?”

“Could something big have happened?”

They were all uneasy, unsure of what to do.

At the same time.

Li Chang’an had arrived at the location of Huang Sha’s true body.

His expression was cold, and he gathered his magic power in his hand, raising it to unleash a Heavenly Grade spell.

“Boom!”

The earth trembled, and countless mountains in front of him instantly exploded, turning into dust in the Nascent Soul’s magic power.

In the billowing dust, a figure soared into the sky, glaring angrily at Li Chang’an.

It was none other than Huang Sha True Monarch!

“Li Chang’an, how dare you leave Changqing Mountain?”

“Why wouldn’t I dare?”

“Without the help of the formation, how much skill do you still have?”

Huang Sha True Monarch’s eyes were cold as he stared intently at Li Chang’an.

In the battle with the puppets, he was suppressed by the formation, feeling utterly stifled and unable to unleash his full power.

But this wasn’t Changqing Mountain, no longer Li Chang’an’s home turf.

If they fought again,

he was confident he could defeat Li Chang’an.

“Li Chang’an, you’ve only just formed your Nascent Soul and you’re already so arrogant, unaware of your own limitations! Today I’ll show you that even among Nascent Soul

cultivators, there are differences in strength!” Huangsha Zhenjun coldly shouted, countless grains of sand instantly appearing, his aura rising steadily.

Li Chang’an’s expression remained unchanged; he didn’t immediately attack, merely sensing his surroundings.

“Ren Huan must be lurking in the shadows. I can’t display too much strength in this battle, lest he become wary.”

He silently calculated the strength he should display.

Just then,

the other Nascent Soul Zhenjuns arrived.

Seeing that the two hadn’t officially started fighting, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

“Fellow Daoists, cultivation is not easy. We’ve all paid countless prices to reach the Nascent Soul stage. Why resort to fighting?”

They all spoke up, trying to dissuade him from the battle.

However, neither Li Chang’an nor Huangsha Zhenjun paid any attention, remaining locked in a fierce confrontation.

Frustrated, the others resorted to telepathic communication.

“Fellow Daoist Li, you’ve only recently advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and are still unfamiliar with it, while Huangsha has accumulated years of experience in this realm. You’re bound to suffer losses if you fight him.”

“Why not spend some more time consolidating your foundation before challenging Huangsha?” Li Chang’an remained unmoved

by these suggestions

, simply replying,

“Rest assured, everyone, I know what I’m doing.”

He had advanced to the Pseudo-Nascent Soul stage years ago through the power of faith, and had fought countless Nascent Soul cultivators over the years.

In terms of familiarity with the Nascent Soul stage, few present could rival him.

His attitude left everyone helpless.

They could only try to find a way to stop Huangsha.

“Fellow Daoist Huangsha, you were indeed in the wrong today.”

“Although you have accumulated more power, Fellow Daoist Li is ultimately a Nascent Soul cultivator. At most, you can only sever his physical body; you can’t stop his Nascent Soul. Once he returns from his possession, all the disciples of the Huangsha Sect will face retaliation…”

Hearing this, True Monarch Huangsha frowned.

He didn’t care and snorted coldly.

“What do the disciples have to do with me? This Li Chang’an is arrogant and overbearing, having just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. Today, I will definitely teach him a lesson!”

With that, he waved his hand, and a Yellow Sand River instantly appeared.

The entire sky instantly turned a hazy yellow.

Dust billowed, and the howling wind echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

“Go!”

True Monarch Huangsha’s killing intent was palpable, his robes fluttering, as he bombarded Li Chang’an with the Yellow Sand River.

A Nascent Soul battle erupted.

Everyone retreated to avoid being caught in the crossfire of the battle.

“Sigh, alright, let them fight first, otherwise they’ll both be seething with anger.”

“If Fellow Daoist Li is no match, we’ll step in to stop Huang Sha, we can’t let his physical body be damaged.”

Most of them felt that True Monarch Huang Sha had a better chance of winning.

True Monarch Huang Sha not only had deeper cultivation, but had also experienced countless battles.

From the internal war of the righteous path to the war between the righteous and demonic paths, he had been fighting almost constantly for decades, and his combat experience was extremely rich.

Li Chang’an, on the other hand, stayed on Changqing Mountain for most of the year and rarely fought with others. He always appeared amiable to outsiders, and suddenly facing Huang Sha, he would inevitably suffer a loss.

Only the old tortoise and Zi Xi had confidence in Li Chang’an.

“How much of his strength will this guy reveal? With his personality, he probably won’t kill Huang Sha easily, but will engage in a difficult battle.”

The old tortoise secretly muttered to himself.

He knew very well that if Li Chang’an really wanted to kill Huang Sha, he could take Huang Sha’s life in an instant.

In fact, all the Nascent Soul cultivators present combined might not be enough for Li Chang’an to kill.

“He was so strong even before he reached the Nascent Soul stage. Now that he’s, his strength must have increased dramatically. I wonder if he can rival a peak Nascent Soul expert.”

While the old tortoise pondered,

the massive Yellow Sand River enveloped Li Chang’an.

“The Myriad Azure Bell!”

Li Chang’an’s mind raced.

A beam of emerald light flew from his storage bag, spinning above his head before transforming into a large, azure bell that firmly protected him.

“Boom…”

Endless yellow sand struck the Myriad Azure Bell, the deafening sound seemingly threatening to shatter it.

But the Myriad Azure Bell remained unmoved, not even trembling slightly.

“Relying on your treasure, how long can you hold out?”

True Monarch Huangsha coldly shouted, unleashing dozens of spells.

But no matter how he attacked, the Myriad Azure Bell remained as immovable as a mountain, without the slightest shift.

Seeing this, True Monarch Huangsha ceased his attacks.

“Yellow Sand Prison!”

He changed his spell, and countless earthen-yellow pillars appeared between heaven and earth.

Hundreds of these pillars materialized in the blink of an eye, each reaching the sky with astonishing power, forming a massive cage that stretched from heaven to earth.

Li Chang’an was at the center of this cage.

Everyone present saw his intention.

“Not good, Huang Sha wants to capture Fellow Daoist Li alive! Everyone, prepare to attack!”

Zhuque and the others secretly gathered their magic power, ready to fight.

Just then,

three beams of azure light suddenly flew out of Li Chang’an’s storage bag, transforming into three low-grade fourth-tier azure spirit swords.

“Go!”

Li Chang’an calmly wielded the azure spirit swords.

The three azure spirit swords hummed in unison, like three swimming dragons, dancing wildly between heaven and earth, shattering one pillar after another.

In an instant, the entire Huang Sha cage completely collapsed.

The three azure spirit swords, their power undiminished, shone brightly, their sharpness fully revealed, heading straight for Huang Sha Zhenjun.

“Suppress!”

Huangsha Zhenjun shouted coldly, countless grains of sand gathering around him, transforming into a gigantic figure ten thousand feet tall, which slammed down on the three Azure Spirit Swords.

A thunderous boom resounded as the three Azure Spirit Swords were sent flying backward, but they quickly regained their footing and charged at Huangsha Zhenjun again.

Afterward, the three swords sometimes gathered, sometimes dispersed, clashing with the sand giant hundreds of times in an instant.

Both sides were evenly matched, seemingly unable to gain the upper hand.

Seeing this,

Zhuque and the others exchanged surprised glances.

“Is this going to end in a draw?” “Fellow

Daoist Li has quite a few treasures, and they all suit him perfectly. I wonder which weapon refiner he commissioned to forge them for him.” Just

then

, three more beams of azure light flew out of Li Chang’an’s storage bag.

“Clang—”

Three Azure Spirit Swords appeared, their sword cries resounding throughout the heavens and earth, all charging towards Huangsha Zhenjun.

In an instant,

sword energy crisscrossed, and sword intent soared to the heavens.

The giant of yellow sand, besieged by six azure swords, quickly succumbed, its body torn apart, collapsing before everyone’s eyes and turning into scattered sand.

The six swords, undeterred, rang out, charging towards the Yellow Sand True Monarch.

The Yellow Sand True Monarch’s expression shifted slightly. He commanded the Yellow Sand Heavenly River to fly back to his side, swirling into countless sand rivers, each layer weakening the power of the six swords.

“Six mere swords cannot break my Yellow Sand Heavenly River!”

His face was grim, for Li Chang’an was stronger than he had anticipated.

Even without the aid of the Evergreen Mountain formation, Li Chang’an could contend with him, even temporarily suppressing him.

“Yellow Sand Traps!”

He waved his hand, and thousands upon thousands of spiritual lights flew from his storage bag, transforming into palm-sized array flags that soared into the four directions.

“Whoosh—”

The sound of the wind and sand suddenly intensified.

Countless grains of yellow sand appeared out of thin air, instantly transforming into a sea of yellow sand, surging madly towards Li Chang’an.

Li Chang’an and Wan Qingzhong sank deeper and deeper into the endless yellow sand, seemingly about to be swallowed up.

“This formation is quite interesting. All the array patterns were pre-carved onto the array flags, eliminating the need for new ones. It’s a simplified talisman array technique, ready to be used at any time. However, the array flags are all exposed, making them easy to break.”

As a mid-grade fourth-tier array master, Li Chang’an immediately saw the advantages and disadvantages of this sand trap.

He could easily use array techniques to break it.

But he didn’t. Instead, he summoned three more Azure Spirit Swords.

“Break!”

With a thought, Li Chang’an’s nine Azure Spirit Swords darted back and forth between heaven and earth, transforming into streaks of dazzling sword light, instantly shattering all the array flags.

The endless yellow sand that was about to engulf them collapsed on the spot, turning into nothingness.

Then, nine sword intents converged, transforming into a world-shaking sword aura, carrying an overwhelming force, like a white rainbow piercing the sun, hurtling towards the Yellow Sand River.

“Boom!”

The yellow sand howled, sword energy raged, and the two forces clashed violently, shaking the heavens and the earth.

In the blink of an eye, a loud bang was heard, and the Yellow Sand Heavenly River shattered.

Not only that, but

all the other treasures around True Monarch Yellow Sand also shattered.

His expression changed drastically; he had expended considerable effort to barely block the combined attack of the nine swords.

Before he could even catch his breath, three more Azure Spirit Swords flew out, merging with the nine to form a complete Azure Spirit Sword Formation.

“Suppress!”

Li Chang’an’s expression was stern as he manipulated the sword formation to suppress True Monarch Huangsha.

Seeing this,

Zhuque and the others were all shaken.

They never expected that Li Chang’an would possess twelve fourth-tier Azure Spirit Swords of identical quality.

The complete Azure Spirit Sword Formation was extremely powerful, difficult for even a Nascent Soul cultivator to withstand.

“Boom!”

Under the sword formation, True Monarch Huangsha exploded on the spot. However, he did not perish;   instead

, he transformed into a cloud of yellow sand, drifting away with the wind, eventually coalescing back into his form.   Li Chang’an was not surprised by this. True   Monarch Huangsha had also awakened a spiritual body, and his physique was exactly the same as Gu Yunqi’s, naturally possessing the Undying Yellow Sand Body.   At this moment, his face was extremely pale.   ”How could this be!”   Facing a newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator, he suffered such a crushing defeat, forced to use his life-saving innate technique.   From this day forward, he would surely become the laughingstock of the entire cultivation world of Yuan and Zhao.   Before this battle began, he never imagined it would end like this.   If the fight continued, he would be repeatedly shattered, his strength dwindling until he finally perished.   Therefore, only two paths remained before him:   either admit defeat or flee!   ”Li Chang’an, once my injuries have healed, I will fight you again!”   Huang Sha naturally refused to admit defeat. Filled   with resentment, he used his escape technique to flee.   ”Hmph, trying to escape?”   Li Chang’an’s expression was cold, his sword energy swirling around him as he activated the Flying Goose Pearl to give chase.   The two, one chasing and the other fleeing, quickly disappeared into the horizon.   Zhuque, Qinglong, and the others exchanged glances, their feelings quite complex, a mixture of shock and incomprehension.   Their strength was comparable to Huang Sha’s; if Li Chang’an could force Huang Sha to a life-or-death escape, he could certainly force them to the same point. “Fellow Daoist Li has just   reached the Nascent   Soul stage, why is he so powerful? He possesses many treasures and his spells are quite impressive. He doesn’t seem like a rogue cultivator at all; he’s practically comparable to a disciple of the Divine Transformation Immortal Sect.” “It seems he received quite a few benefits from the Myriad Arrays Sect…”   After a brief conversation,   they all agreed that Li Chang’an’s strength came from the Myriad Arrays Sect.   Mu Zheng suddenly spoke up: “Everyone, we should catch up as soon as possible and not let Fellow Daoist Huangsha perish.”   Vermilion Bird True Monarch shook his head: “Don’t worry, Huangsha’s Undying Body is very special; it’s enough for Fellow Daoist Huangsha to escape back to the Huangsha Sect.”   ”Yes, if Huangsha is determined to escape, Fellow Daoist Li can’t stop him.” Azure Dragon   and the others were all certain that Li Chang’an couldn’t stop him; Huangsha’s life-saving abilities were among the best of all spirit bodies.   Therefore, they weren’t in a hurry and continued their pursuit while talking.   Their previous urgency was mostly due to their concern that Li Chang’an would be no match for him.   However,   not long after,   they all received Huangsha True Monarch’s distress call.   ”I will be killed by Li Chang’an! Please help me hold him off! When I return to the Huangsha Sect, I will repay you handsomely!”   ”What?”   Zhuque and Qinglong were all shocked and used their escape techniques to give chase.   At the same time,   Li Chang’an controlled the sword formation, having already blasted Huangsha Zhenjun dozens of times.   ”This guy’s Huangsha Undying Body seems to be even stronger than Gu Yunqi’s. He’s died so many times, yet his aura hasn’t decreased much.”   ”It’s a pity I don’t have that kind of physique.”   Li Chang’an sighed inwardly. Although his Azure Wood Calamity Transformation Technique was good, it was far inferior to the innate talent of a spiritual body like the Huangsha Undying Body.   If he could awaken this kind of life-saving talent, he could be more at ease in future battles.   But reality is never perfect.   ”Forget it, I can’t be greedy.”   He composed himself and continued to bombard Huangsha Zhenjun, shattering him time and time again.   During this time,   Huangsha Zhenjun’s aura continued to decline.   ”Li Chang’an! If I escape this calamity, I will surely annihilate you, body and soul!”   He   roared, his body battered and bruised. Li Chang’an remained silent, continuing his bombardment to wear down his resurrection ability.   As time passed, Huang Sha gradually gave out.   After being shattered once more, he struggled to recover, his aura extremely weak, his face devoid of color, pale as a corpse.   He knew in his heart that he had pushed Huang Sha’s indestructible body to its limit.   If he died again, he would be unable to recover.   But this place was still far from Huang Sha Sect.   Left with no other choice,   he could only grit his teeth, burn his lifespan, squeeze out his potential, and exhaust all his resources.   ”Boom!”   His body suddenly exploded, his nascent soul flying out from within, carrying its last strength towards the horizon.   At this moment, memories of the past surfaced in his mind, finally settling on the moment when he first attacked Li Chang’an.   At that time,   he never imagined   that the ant he could crush with a flick of his wrist would grow into a powerful enemy who would make him flee in a sorry state.   A complex mix of emotions—resentment, pain, and regret—writhed within him, threatening to consume him entirely.   He knew perfectly well that after possessing another body, he could never regain his former strength, let alone seek revenge against Li Chang’an.   ”Am I destined to spend the rest of my life hiding within the Huangsha Sect, never stepping out of the sect’s protective array again?”   he wondered.   Just then, a large net descended from the sky, instantly trapping his nascent soul.   Li Chang’an coldly said, “Huangsha, you wish! You still want to return to the Huangsha Sect?”   ”You…”   Huangsha was both shocked and enraged, frantically burning his nascent soul’s essence, but all to no avail.

He never expected that even if he self-destructed his physical body and his nascent soul left his body to escape, he still couldn’t escape Li Chang’an’s pursuit.

Li Chang’an’s thoughts stirred, and the small green wooden pagoda flew out, intending to capture Huang Sha’s nascent soul.

At this moment,

Zhuque, Qinglong, and the others arrived.

Seeing this scene, they were all shocked and tried to stop him.

“Fellow Daoist Li, you mustn’t do this!”

“Huang Sha is a disciple of Heisha. If Heisha knew he was suppressed by you, would he let it go?”

They mentioned True Monarch Heisha. True

Monarch Heisha was a mid-Nascent Soul expert, his strength unfathomable, far surpassing that of an early-Nascent Soul cultivator.

But Li Chang’an didn’t care and directly captured Huang Sha’s nascent soul.

Thus,

the feud between him and Huang Sha was completely over.

Li Chang’an looked back at Changqing Mountain, a slight sense of emotion welling up inside him, as if he could see the frail figure protected by Jiang Xuanyuan back then.

“Second Brother is right. Whether in the mortal world or the cultivation world, if you don’t want to be oppressed, you can only climb step by step to the top.”

He subconsciously recalled what Mo Qingkuang had said.

“Nascent Soul cultivation is not enough. Only at the Divine Transformation stage, or even the peak of the Divine Transformation stage, can one look down upon the vast cultivation world.”

“At that time, my every word and action will be the rule!”

He collected his thoughts, raised his hand, and retrieved the storage bag left behind by Huang Sha.

As for the exploded flesh and blood of Huang Sha, he pulverized it into dust, dissipating it into the world.

He erased all traces of his own aura, leaving only the aura of Huang Sha.

Then,

Li Chang’an opened Huang Sha’s storage bag and looked inside.

As a Nascent Soul True Monarch of this era, Huang Sha’s storage bag contained only a dozen or so top-grade spirit stones, which could be considered meager.

Most of the other treasures were also ordinary and of little value.

Everything was very ordinary.

It was consistent with Huang Sha True Monarch’s cultivation level.

He was originally just an ordinary early Nascent Soul cultivator.

Soon, an ancient book caught Li Chang’an’s attention.

“The Record of a Hundred Battles!”

Li Chang’an’s eyes lit up, and he took it out to read.

Just as Luo Qiantong had said, this Record of a Hundred Battles contained over a hundred battles between cultivators.

Moreover, these weren’t ordinary cultivators; almost all of them were Nascent Soul True Monarchs, and there were even a few battles involving Deity Transformation cultivators.

The thirty-ninth battle was exactly what Li Chang’an wanted to see.

This battle took place ninety thousand years ago, on the eve of the great calamity of the Nine Immortal Sects.

Both sides were Nascent Soul Grand Cultivators.

One of them possessed astonishing talent, awakening the rare Blood Array Spirit Body, and was a core disciple of the Myriad Array Sect, with the potential to become a fifth-tier array master.

The other was of mediocre talent, possessing only a low-grade spiritual root, and had once wanted to join the Myriad Array Sect but was rejected due to insufficient talent.

Seeing his name, Li Chang’an’s expression froze.

“Lin Fan!”

This name was all too familiar to him.

Not only because one of his false identities was named Lin Fan, but also because Li Ping’an’s elder brother was also named Lin Fan.

Ninety thousand years ago.

Li Ping’an, along with many other mortals, followed Lin Fan on his quest for immortality.

Later, Li Ping’an successfully joined the Myriad Arrays Sect and became a disciple of Du Yi, a Nascent Soul Celestial Lord.

Lin Fan, however, was rejected by the Myriad Arrays Sect and never saw him again.

Lin Fan’s words at their parting at the Immortal Gate remained vivid in Li Chang’an’s memory:

“Don’t worry, a mere spiritual root cannot imprison me, Lin Fan!”
