Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Jiang Yunsheng’s conditions took Li Chang’an by surprise.

’He’s actually willing to give up the Venerable Soul Banner!’

This was the Treasure that had made him famous, having fought alongside him for countless years.

Li Chang’an studied him carefully and saw a look of grim determination on his face.

“Daoist Jiang, why the sudden urgency?”

’Jiang Yunsheng’s talent is good, and his potential is excellent. He has a long road of cultivation ahead of him.’

’Breaking through to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment won’t be a problem for him.’

“Daoist Jiang, if you cultivated for a few more decades, your chances of success would be much greater.”

“Decades…”

Hearing this, Jiang Yunsheng fell silent for a moment.

He sighed softly and said no more, simply asking Li Chang’an to go somewhere with him.

「A few hours later.」

The two left the Cultivation Immortality Realm and arrived at a small village in the Mortal Realm.

A stream gurgled as it flowed past the front of the village.

A young woman with ordinary looks was washing clothes by the stream. There seemed to be a problem with her eyes; her pupils were a grayish-white color.

Jiang Yunsheng stood a short distance away, gazing at the young woman, an unidentifiable emotion flickering in his eyes.

“In a previous battle, Ye Hao was hunted by Xiahou Hong and had no choice but to jump off Soul-breaking Cliff.”

“I was also heavily injured and pursued by several Late Stage of Foundation Establishment cultivators. I barely escaped with my life, fleeing into the Mortal Realm. I collapsed unconscious by a great river, was carried downstream, and was saved by this blind woman…”

Jiang Yunsheng’s voice was calm as he recounted his past experiences.

His entire life had been filled with hatred and slaughter. He had always been driven by revenge, his hands stained with blood, his path of cultivation paved with bleached bones. He had never known a moment of peace.

But, during the short time he spent recovering in this mortal village, he felt a sense of tranquility and peace he had never known before.

For some reason, he suddenly wanted to give up everything, to stay in this village forever and live out the rest of his days as an ordinary man.

“This blind woman also wanted me to stay, but I told her I still have one last thing to do. After it’s done, I will come back for her.”

“I see.”

Li Chang’an now understood.

’Jiang Yunsheng is clearly tired of the slaughter and wants to live in seclusion.’

’But with his great vengeance unfulfilled, he can’t stop yet.’

That was why he had made his previous request.

“Daoist Li, please, help me this one time! If we win this battle, I will retire here and give you all my Treasures. But if we lose…”

Jiang Yunsheng paused, his gaze falling upon the blind woman, a rare softness appearing in his eyes.

It was clear he wasn’t confident either.

“If I lose, could I ask you to cure her eyes? Consider the Venerable Soul Banner my payment.”

“Very well.”

Li Chang’an agreed to the request.

Afterward, the two returned to the Cultivation Immortality Realm to discuss the specific details of the upcoming battle.

Jiang Yunsheng was filled with killing intent for Jia Huairan, and Jia Huairan felt the same way about him.

Otherwise, given Jiang Yunsheng’s past deeds, it would be impossible for him to be ranked alongside the Five Poison Wanderer on the wanted list.

For this very reason, Jiang Yunsheng could act as bait.

They just needed to lure Jia Huairan out of Yellow Crane Immortal City, and the matter would become simple.

But…

The fear was that they wouldn’t lure out Jia Huairan, but a Fake Pill Great Power like Xiahou Hong instead!

Li Chang’an had made it clear beforehand.

If the enemy was too strong, he would flee without hesitation.

…

「For a time afterward.」

Jiang Yunsheng attacked and killed disciples of the Yellow Crane Mountain Lineage on multiple occasions, deliberately revealing his whereabouts.

As expected, Jia Huairan flew into a rage, vowing to execute his rebellious son.

He led six Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment Honored Guest Elders of Yellow Crane Mountain out of Yellow Crane Immortal City, following the intelligence they had received to intercept and kill Jiang Yunsheng.

「On this day.」

At dusk, the setting sun was the color of blood.

Far from Yellow Crane Immortal City, over a great lake, Jiang Yunsheng was intercepted by Jia Huairan and his men.

Jia Huairan’s face was ashen as he roared, “You little bastard, I’ve finally found you!”

“Old bastard, I’ve been looking for you for a long time too!”

Jiang Yunsheng’s voice was chilling, his face filled with killing intent.

The two were both father and son, and also mortal enemies.

Now that they met again, their enmity burned with particular intensity!

“Daoist Li, lend me your strength!”

“Right!”

Li Chang’an emerged from the lake’s water, shot into the sky, and transformed into a ray of Spiritual Light, appearing at Jiang Yunsheng’s side in an instant.

He waved his hand, and the Soul Banner in his grasp fluttered.

A sinister wind suddenly rose, and a ghastly aura filled the air.

Seeing this, the expressions of the other Honored Guest Elders from Yellow Crane Immortal City changed slightly, and their eyes grew grave.

The identity of Li Fan had been renowned since his Qi Refining days. It was rumored that even back then, he possessed the ability to fight a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.

Now that he was at Foundation Establishment, his power was even greater than before, forcing them to be wary.

Jia Huairan said angrily, “Li Fan, you think you alone can help this beast?”

Li Chang’an’s expression did not change as he replied calmly.

“I alone am enough.”

“Good, good, good! Today, I shall teach you the meaning of regret!”

Jia Huairan laughed in extreme anger and immediately signaled to the others beside him.

In an instant, the auras of six Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment cultivators erupted.

Four of them joined forces, their Magical Power surging as they charged menacingly toward Li Chang’an.

The other two planned to coordinate with Jia Huairan to take down Jiang Yunsheng.

However, to their astonishment, the Soul Banner in Li Chang’an’s hand fluttered, unleashing an endless black fog. As if from the Netherworld Purgatory, the fog instantly devoured the bodies of all six men.

Even he himself vanished into the black fog.

Between heaven and earth, only Jiang Yunsheng and Jia Huairan remained!

Seeing this, Jia Huairan was not worried and sneered.

“Li Fan, you actually intend to fight one against six? I’d like to see how long you can last!”

His gaze turned icy as he looked at Jiang Yunsheng.

“You beast, I never should have let you be born!”

With that, he erupted. The Magical Power of the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment surged forth, forming a shockingly powerful Magic that he launched at Jiang Yunsheng.

An overwhelming killing intent radiating from him, Jiang Yunsheng also made his move at that very moment!
