Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Before this, Li Chang’an wasn’t without his own Tier Three methods.

The Green Wood Transformation Array, a Tier Three Array, was powerful enough to defend against Fake Pill Cultivators and even the weakest of True Pill Cultivators.

But as good as the Array was, it couldn’t be moved.

It was no match for the Venerable Soul Banner, which he could carry with him.

“How many more Souls do I need to match a Cultivator in the Early Stage of True Core?”

Li Chang’an asked the Venerable Soul Banner’s Artifact Spirit.

Soon, he received a definitive answer.

He needed another 150,000 Souls, and the quality of these new Souls could be no less than that of the 150,000 he already possessed.

’It seems the rumors were true. A Fake Pill Cultivator is only half as strong as the weakest True Pill Cultivator,’ Li Chang’an mused to himself.

Getting another 150,000 Souls shouldn’t be too difficult, as long as he had enough Spirit Stones.

Coincidentally, the Demon Sect was establishing the Yin Soul Sect as a new Sub-Sect in the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm. Plenty of Demonic Cultivators should be showing up.

At that time, his channels for purchasing Souls wouldn’t be so limited.

As for Wu Sheng, the Protector of the Yin Soul Sect… as long as Li Chang’an didn’t publicize it himself, no one would ever know he was the killer.

’The Venerable Soul Banner’s Tier needs to keep up, too. I have to continue nurturing it.’

Thinking of this, Li Chang’an immediately took out several Demonic Treasures from his Storage Pouch.

These Treasures all came from Wu Sheng’s Storage Pouch, and he fed every last one of them to the Venerable Soul Banner.

Besides those, there were three other very special Treasures inside the Storage Pouch.

’Refined Corpses at the Foundation Establishment Peak.’

Li Chang’an took out the three Refined Corpses and observed them carefully.

These Refined Corpses were pitch-black from head to toe. Their Magical Power had reached the Foundation Establishment Peak, and their Body Refinement had also reached the Tier Two Peak, making them nearly invincible among Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

’Wu Sheng himself was at the Foundation Establishment Peak and possessed three Refined Corpses. No wonder he was so confident, daring to follow me even when he knew I wasn’t to be trifled with.’

These three Refined Corpses weren’t of much help to Li Chang’an.

His Puppetry Technique was already approaching Tier Three, allowing him to create Puppets at the Tier Two Peak.

However, to Demonic Cultivators, these three Refined Corpses were true Treasures. He should be able to exchange them for a good number of Souls.

Li Chang’an put away the Refined Corpses and took out several Demonic Cultivation Technique and Magic manuals, flipping through them earnestly.

He had no intention of cultivating them, but there was no harm in looking.

The more he read, the stronger his own foundation would become.

In the future, when he used the Three-orifice Bodhi Seed to create techniques again, perhaps he could comprehend even better Magic.

Just then, Chen Qianya suddenly requested an audience.

“Elder Li, a Tier Two Great Demon has been spotted near Changqing Mountain.”

“Oh?”

Li Chang’an’s interest was piqued.

It had been a long time since a Tier Two Great Demon had caused any trouble, not since the Beast Tide had subsided.

For one to suddenly appear near Changqing Mountain was quite unusual.

…

A moment later, Li Chang’an had a Puppet don one of his disguises and sent it out to investigate with a number of Treasures.

Before long, it arrived at the territory of a small Qi Refining Clan.

The entire clan had been destroyed by the Tier Two Great Demon. Its members were all dead or grievously wounded, leaving behind a bloody scene.

Li Chang’an (through his Puppet) released Dahuang, letting it catch the Great Demon’s scent.

“Dahuang, which way did that Tier Two Great Demon go?”

The words had barely left his mouth when a cold voice suddenly rang out.

“Li Chang’an, there’s no need to search. I am right here!”

Hearing this voice, Li Chang’an’s expression turned grim.

With a flicker of his body, he immediately retreated to the horizon with Dahuang.

A Demon Beast that could speak human language had already surpassed the scope of Tier Two; it had to be at least Quasi-Tier Three!

BOOM!

The grounds of the Qi Refining Clan’s territory suddenly exploded.

A massive body emerged from beneath the ground, roiling with astonishingly powerful Demon Qi. It was a Quasi-Tier Three Great Demon!

The strength of a Great Demon of this Tier was greater than a Human Race Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Peak, but weaker than a Fake Pill Cultivator.

It fell somewhere in between the two.

’A Black Armored Kui Ox!’

Li Chang’an’s gaze sharpened as he recognized the Demon Beast.

This Demon possessed a Top Grade Bloodline and was born with immense strength, making it one of the most powerful Demon Beasts of its Tier.

During the previous Beast Tide, a few Black Armored Kui Oxen had caused a great deal of trouble for the Human Race Cultivators.

However, this Black Armored Kui Ox before him not only reeked of dense Demon Qi, but also carried the auras of numerous Human Race Cultivators. It had clearly been in frequent contact with them over the years.

“Black Armored Kui Ox, are you one of the Zhou Family’s Demon Beasts?”

Li Chang’an immediately concluded that this Demon was not from the Black Dragon Mountain Range.

The Black Armored Kui Ox’s eyes were savage as it stared him down.

“That’s right! I come from the Zhou Family!”

“I’ve always been on good terms with the Zhou Family. Why are you targeting me?”

“Li Chang’an, you were on good terms with the Zhou Family of the Human Race Cultivators, not the Zhou Family of today!”

The Black Armored Kui Ox’s words confirmed Li Chang’an’s suspicions.

The Zhou Family of today had most likely fallen under the control of Demon Beasts.

“Li Chang’an, I will now give you two choices.”

“Oh? And what choices might those be?”

“Either become my Human Slave, or die right now!”

The Black Armored Kui Ox’s arrogance was boundless, its expression vicious. It gave Li Chang’an no way out.

However, it soon laid eyes on an existence even more vicious than itself.

A dark light flashed in Li Chang’an’s hand as the Venerable Soul Banner materialized. The power of 150,000 Sub-Souls converged upon the Evil Soul.

The next instant, the Tier Three Evil Soul, roiling with black mist, charged toward the Black Armored Kui Ox.

Tier Three Power against a Quasi-Tier Three opponent!

The Black Armored Kui Ox’s expression changed drastically.

“A Tier Three Main Soul?”

Although it had also touched upon Tier Three, it was still just “Quasi,” not a true Tier Three.

Its strength was far inferior to this Evil Soul’s.

The Black Armored Kui Ox didn’t hesitate for a second. It turned and fled.

But how could its Speed possibly compare to the Evil Soul’s?

In the blink of an eye, it was swallowed by the dense black mist.

Strands of Soul Power formed a massive net, binding it tightly and leaving it like a lamb for the slaughter.

Li Chang’an walked forward and, after a brief interrogation, learned why the Black Armored Kui Ox had come to attack him.
