Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Deep within Changqing Mountain, inside a secret chamber.

Li Chang’an sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, circulating the Realm Breaking Chapter of his Cultivation Technique to guide the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power into his Dantian.

As the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power poured in frantically, a vortex had already formed within his Dantian.

At the very center of the vortex, though the Pill had not yet solidified, its aura grew stronger and stronger.

Li Chang’an had already experienced solidifying a Fake Pill countless times. He had even used two Puppets to solidify a Top Grade True Pill and an Immortal Golden Core, respectively.

He might now be the most experienced person in the entire Southern Domain when it came to Core Formation.

’In about two more days, the embryonic form of the Golden Core should appear.’

Li Chang’an focused his mind, cautiously guiding the Spiritual Power.

Although he was one hundred percent confident, he didn’t relax in the slightest. He devoted nearly all his energy to Solidifying the Pill, striving to form a true Immortal Golden Core.

「At the same time.」

Outside Changqing Mountain, more and more people from various factions were gathering.

Countless streaks of light shot across the sky, landing outside Changqing Mountain and transforming into figures.

Members of the Three Great Sects and the Seven Great Noble Families had all arrived. People from Yellow Crane Immortal City were here as well, and countless Cultivators from various Foundation Establishment Influences had rushed over.

Even the Purple Flying Ship of the Purple Mist Sect had arrived, hovering on the horizon.

At this moment, nearly everyone was wondering the same thing.

Who exactly was undergoing Core Formation?

The Cyan Cloud Sect’s ancestor, Gu Qinghong, slowly spoke, "This Spirit Vein on Changqing Mountain belongs to my Cyan Cloud Sect. It was originally just a Tier Two Top Grade Spirit Vein, but it has now been elevated to Tier Three Low Grade."

Wang Xuanjian of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect judged, "The aura of this Spirit Vein is unstable. It must have been only a temporary upgrade."

"Indeed."

"Regardless, for the one undergoing Core Formation to possess such methods means they must have had a significant fortuitous encounter."

"Could it be Li Chang’an?"

"..."

The crowd broke into discussion, all of them guessing the identity of the person undergoing Core Formation.

The Southern Domain was currently in turmoil, and Changqing Mountain was not far from the Two Realms Battlefield. This Core Formation could be interrupted by someone from the Western Domain at any moment.

None of those present could understand it. Why wasn’t the person undergoing Core Formation worried about interference from the Western Domain?

Just then, a streak of light flew out from Changqing Mountain and transformed into the figure of Luo Yunshu.

She cupped her fists to the crowd in all directions and announced loudly, "My family’s Changqing Ancestor is undergoing Core Formation. I ask that you all do not disturb him."

"The Changqing Ancestor?"

Upon hearing this, most of the crowd looked astonished.

It really was Li Chang’an!

But the Cultivation that Li Chang’an had previously revealed to the public was only at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

How had he suddenly reached the Core Formation stage?

"This boy has hidden himself truly deep, for so many years."

"I suspected as much before. For him to be able to kill Fan Yunfei without relying on an Array, he must have been hiding a significant amount of his Cultivation. It seems my guess was correct."

Gu Qinghong stroked his long beard, his feelings rather complicated.

He knew that years ago, Li Chang’an had gone through hell and back to reach the Immortal Sect, seeking only to join the Cyan Cloud Sect, yet he was rejected at the gates.

Among those who had successfully entered the Immortal Sect back then, not a single one had reached the Core Formation stage yet. Few had even reached Foundation Establishment.

But among those who were rejected...

Ye Hao had already achieved Core Formation, and now Li Chang’an was on the same path.

"Seeing how stable his Core Formation Celestial Phenomenon is, he might have a chance at forming a True Pill."

"A True Pill?"

Hearing this, the expressions of everyone present varied.

Among the crowd from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect,

Nie Yu’s face was grim. He wished he could strike right then and there, bombard the Changqing Mountain Array, and interrupt Li Chang’an’s Core Formation.

But with everyone from the Southern Domain watching, it was not a good time for him to make a move.

He glanced back and forth between the Celestial Phenomenon and the west, clearly hoping a Golden Core Cultivator from the Western Domain would appear and ruin Li Chang’an’s Core Formation.

Beside him, the Array Master Du Han felt a faint sense of unease.

’If he succeeds in his Core Formation, that kid will be a Cultivator of the same realm as me.’

Du Han couldn’t help but recall what he had said to Li Chang’an back when he was invited by Nie Yu to come to Changqing Mountain and break the Array.

He had said at the time, that the Cultivation Immortality Realm was a place where the strong preyed on the weak. Li Chang’an was not strong enough, so he deserved this tribulation.

If Li Chang’an succeeded in his Core Formation, he would most likely come seeking revenge.

’This kid is so patient. He must have been biding his time until Core Formation to get revenge on everyone who has ever bullied him. Thankfully, my abode is within the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. There’s no way he can sneak into the sect and attack me unnoticed.’

At this thought, Du Han felt slightly more at ease.

He made up his mind to learn from Li Chang’an and hide away inside his Array from now on.

Unless absolutely necessary, he would never leave!

"Daoist Du, no need to worry. Whether this kid can succeed is another matter entirely."

Mu Yan of the Red Flame Sect spoke slowly.

He had also been invited to Changqing Mountain to break the Array and was another potential target for Li Chang’an’s revenge.

But his attitude was much better.

"The Golden Core Dao is not so easily tread. This kid only has a Low Grade Spirit Root. In a thousand years, there has never been a Cultivator with a Low Grade Spirit Root who has achieved Core Formation. I bet he’ll most likely fail at the Solidifying Pill stage!"

"Daoist Mu is right!"

Xiahou Hong chimed in.

Of everyone present, he was probably the one who least wanted to see Li Chang’an achieve Core Formation.

Back then, the only reason he had dared to bully Li Chang’an so unscrupulously was because he was certain Li Chang’an had limited potential and would never pose a threat to him in this lifetime.

But now, the ten-li wide Celestial Phenomenon in the sky was like a heavy slap to his face.

His expression was particularly ugly.

"The Core Formation Celestial Phenomenon has only just formed. There are still several days to go. Li Chang’an’s foundation is shallow; he will most likely fail."

"What a joke!"

Ye Hao’s cold sneer suddenly rang out.

"Xiahou Hong, do you think my big brother is a loser like you?"

"Ye Hao, what did you say?"

Rage flared in Xiahou Hong. His eyes, practically spewing fire, locked onto Ye Hao.

Ye Hao immediately repeated, "I said you’re a loser."

"You..."

Xiahou Hong was unable to contain his fury. A Spiritual Light flashed in his hand as he summoned his Magical Treasure.
