Eternal Life by Daily Divination

The methods of Demonic Cultivators were bizarre, but they weren’t invincible. Eventually, they would run into someone stronger.

Additionally, Li Chang’an had also slain one of their Vice Sect Leaders.

Although the Yin Soul Sect’s presence was still formidable, its upper echelons were almost completely wiped out.

This situation had greatly disappointed the Nether Soul Sect.

For that very reason, the Nether Soul Sect had dispatched a true Saint Child.

"This Saint Child is named Wu Gu. The quality of his Formed Pill is a Half-step Immortal Golden Core. Back when he was only in the Early Stage of Golden Core, he could already challenge Cultivators in the Middle or even Late Stage. Now, he has a Late Stage Golden Core Cultivation."

Luo Qiantong relayed all the information about this Saint Child to Li Chang’an.

Besides the Saint Child, a large number of ordinary Nether Soul Sect Cultivators had also arrived to fill the vacancies in the Yin Soul Sect.

Among them were more than ten Golden Core Cultivators!

The current Yin Soul Sect was no weaker than any Golden Core Influence in the Southern Domain, and could be considered a regional overlord.

"Uncle Li, that Wu Gu Saint Child said he’ll make all of the Yin Soul Sect’s enemies pay the price."

"I’m worried he’ll try to make an example out of you to establish his authority. You have to be careful."

Luo Qiantong voiced his concerns.

Since the Yin Soul Sect’s founding, its greatest enemy was, naturally, Li Chang’an’s alias, Li Fan.

This alias had brought the Yin Soul Sect no small amount of humiliation.

Although the Yin Soul Sect had posted a massive bounty, Li Chang’an remained at large.

Every day he remained alive, the Yin Soul Sect’s shame grew.

"Alright, I understand."

Li Chang’an wasn’t worried. It was just a fake identity, after all.

There was no way the Yin Soul Sect could ever find his true self.

「Not long after.」

He left the Black Market, and after confirming no one was following him, he had the Blood-Dripping Incarnation return to Changqing Mountain and revert into a drop of blood.

’This Blood-Dripping Incarnation really is useful.’

Li Chang’an was getting more and more adept at using this Incarnation Technique.

His true body remained on Changqing Mountain, receiving various guests.

「A few days later.」

He suddenly had a premonition and looked up at the sky.

’Hm? Someone is performing Divination on me again. Is it Yellow Crane Immortal City or the Yin Soul Sect?’

Li Chang’an had been the subject of a Divination Master’s deductions many times, so he was no stranger to the feeling.

His expression remained composed, showing no sign of anything unusual as he continued to chat with his guests.

With the Divination protecting him, he didn’t have to worry about his true self being discovered.

...

「At the same time.」

Within the Mountain Gate of the Yin Soul Sect.

An old man in a Blood Robe with a gaunt figure suddenly collapsed to the ground.

"Master Yuan, what’s wrong?"

Saint Child Wu Gu rushed forward to help him up.

The old man sighed. "Saint Child, that Li Fan cannot be divined. It’s a good thing I stopped in time, or I most likely would have suffered a backlash from the heavens."

"How could that be?"

Wu Gu furrowed his brow, not quite understanding.

"Master Yuan, you’re a Quasi-Tier Four Divination Master. How could you fail to divine that Fake Pill Cultivator, Li Fan?"

"Saint Child, Li Fan might possess some kind of Treasure of an extremely high Tier. It exhibits Divine Concealment. Even a true Tier Four Divination Grandmaster might not be able to divine his location."

"Divine Concealment..."

Muttering those two words, a sharp glint flashed in Wu Gu’s eyes.

Even he, a Saint Child, didn’t possess such a Treasure.

He had originally only wanted to slay Li Fan to establish his authority and gain a firm foothold in the Southern Domain.

But now, he had another objective.

"No matter what, I must find this Li Fan!"

「Before long.」

In Black Markets everywhere, the bounty for the identity of Li Fan was raised once again.

This time, the bounty was enough to make countless Cultivators’ eyes turn red with greed.

Foundation Establishment Treasures, Core Formation Treasures, and even Tier-Breaking Treasures for the Golden Core Stage—the reward had everything. Even many Golden Core Ancestors would be tempted by such a prize, to say nothing of the numerous Loose Cultivators.

’My Li Fan identity really is valuable.’

Li Chang’an was also a little surprised as he looked at the message in his hand.

In the past, the Yin Soul Sect could never have produced so many Treasures.

This entire change was brought about by that Saint Child.

’The one who tried to divine me earlier must have been from the Yin Soul Sect.’

’That person’s divination failed, leading them to guess I have some kind of heaven-defying Treasure, which sparked the greed of Saint Child Wu Gu...’

With a moment’s thought, Li Chang’an figured out the cause and effect of the whole matter.

Just as he was thinking, Jiang Xuanyuan suddenly came to find him.

"Li, I’m preparing to take Muyu back to the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty to have her entered into the Great Qi’s Royal Family registry and officially become a member of the Royal Family."

Jiang Muyu’s mother was a Great Qi Princess, and she herself was a Celestial Pride with an Earth Spirit Root. Although she didn’t share the Royal Family’s surname, entering the Great Qi Royal Family’s lineage wouldn’t be difficult.

In the Cultivation Realm, strength was what ultimately mattered most; there weren’t so many rigid customs.

Li Chang’an asked, "Jiang Xuanyuan, will this Great Qi Royal Family status place any restrictions on Muyu?"

"Rest assured, Li. This status has no disadvantages for her. In fact, it has benefits."

Jiang Xuanyuan explained with a smile.

Once she becomes a member of the Great Qi Royal Family and obtains the status of a Saintess, she will be qualified to compete for the Great Qi Royal Family’s Nascent Soul Formation opportunities.

In the current Cultivation Realm, Nascent Soul Formation opportunities are extremely rare.

For Jiang Muyu to obtain a Nascent Soul Formation opportunity on her own would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

However, the Great Qi Royal Family’s Treasure Vault contains quite a few Nascent Soul Treasures.

With Jiang Muyu’s talent as an Earth Spirit Root, she is fully qualified to compete for them.

As long as she performs well enough, even if she fails in the competition, she will have a chance to possess the power of a Nascent Soul in the future.

"Nascent Soul power? Jiang Xuanyuan, what do you mean by that?"

Li Chang’an noticed that Jiang Xuanyuan had said "Nascent Soul power," not "Nascent Soul Realm."

Jiang Xuanyuan smiled and explained, "Li, in the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty, there is a path of faith cultivation. It allows one to gather the faith of hundreds of millions of subjects, greatly increasing one’s own power."

"I see."

Li Chang’an instantly understood.

He had heard of the path of faith long ago.

However, this kind of power could only be considered an external force.
