Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Just as he was lost in thought, the auras of several Tier Two Great Demons suddenly appeared on the distant horizon.

“They’re finally here!”

Li Chang’an’s expression turned cold. He transformed into a streak of light and flew into the air.

「At the same time.」

The Peak Masters of the other three main peaks also appeared.

Their expressions were grave. They each pushed their Mountain Protection Arrays to their limits as they watched the Demon Beasts in the distance.

A full nine Tier Two Great Demons!

Among them, three had even reached the Tier Two Late Stage!

If they encountered such a lineup in the open, they would most likely not escape with their lives.

Fortunately, they were all in their respective domains, where they could rely on their Arrays.

“Daoist Li, Daoist Liu, Daoist Yu.”

The strongest of them, Xiang Chisong, spoke, his voice deep and powerful.

“I have already sent a request for aid to the disciples of the Major Sects and Noble Families patrolling nearby. Reinforcements will arrive soon. We don’t need to kill these Great Demons, we just need to hold them off for a short while!”

“Alright!”

The three of them responded in agreement.

“Everyone, we must work together today. Don’t hold anything back!”

“Fellow Daoists, do you have enough Talismans?”

“Enough.”

“Daoist Li, your strength is insufficient. You absolutely must not leave the Array.”

“I understand.”

“…”

They all spoke, conversing with one another.

They all lived on Cui Ping Mountain and had known each other for many years, so they had a fair amount of trust in one another.

「Before long.」

The nine Great Demons arrived together!

Their massive demonic forms blotted out the sun. Billowing Demon Qi, mixed with a thick stench of blood, struck terror into the hearts of the countless Qi Refining Cultivators below.

“SCREEE—”

One of them, a Cyan Eagle Great Demon, opened its beak and shrieked. The sound was piercing, forming a visible soundwave that blasted toward the entirety of Cui Ping Mountain.

「An instant later.」

All four main peaks trembled.

“Vile beast!”

Xiang Chisong’s eyes flew wide with rage, his hair and beard standing on end. He held a greatsword wreathed in blazing flames.

He slashed out with his sword!

BOOM!

The Sword Qi was scorching, its fiery light dazzling. The power was astonishing.

But the Cyan Eagle Great Demon seemed to have anticipated it. Its body blurred into a cyan shadow, instantly dodging the terrifying strike.

A hint of caution appeared in its emerald demonic eyes.

「The next moment.」

It changed direction and charged straight for Li Chang’an’s Changqing Mountain!

It wasn’t alone; the other eight Great Demons also moved, abandoning Xiang Chisong’s Chisong Peak to split up and deal with the other three main peaks.

This was because Xiang Chisong possessed a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation, and with the help of his Array, he was too difficult to deal with quickly.

The other three were weaker.

Li Chang’an appeared to be the weakest, with only an Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation.

In the eyes of these Demon Beasts, he was no different from a fat sheep.

“These damned vile beasts!”

Xiang Chisong was both anxious and furious, but he didn’t dare charge out of his Array. He could only control his Spiritual Artifact to provide support.

“Fellow Daoists, just hold on a little longer!”

“Rest assured, Daoist Xiang. I can hold on for a short while.”

Yu Hongmei was very confident. She was, after all, an Array Master.

All of Xuemei Peak was protected by a full seven Tier Two Arrays, nested within each other in an interlocking sequence. Not even a Tier Two Late Stage Great Demon could break through!

“But what about you, Daoist Li? Can you hold out?”

“Daoist Li, if your Changqing Mountain’s Array can’t hold, find a way to get to my Chisong Peak!”

The others all called out to Li Chang’an, offering various suggestions.

Not long ago, Li Chang’an had publicly announced that his Alchemy Skill had reached the Tier Two Middle Grade.

They couldn’t bear to see a Tier Two Middle Grade Pill Master die just like that.

If Li Chang’an were to die, who knew what kind of person would move into Changqing Mountain next.

“Everyone, please rest assured.”

Li Chang’an’s expression didn’t change; he remained relatively calm.

「At this moment.」

A full four Great Demons were besieging Changqing Mountain.

Among them was one at the Tier Two Late Stage, two at the Middle Stage, and one at the Tier Two Early Stage.

’These mere beasts aren’t enough to break my Changqing Mountain’s Array.’

With that said, Li Chang’an waved his hand.

Nine Tier Two Spiritual Swords shot out, surging with Sword Qi. They formed a shockingly powerful Sword Array in front of him.

“Go!”

With a thought from Li Chang’an.

The Sword Array instantly transformed into a brilliant beam of sword light that tore across the sky, striking a Tier Two Early Stage Demon Beast in the blink of an eye.

BOOM!

A terrifying Sword Intent erupted suddenly!

The Great Demon shrieked in agony. Its Demon Body was instantly torn apart, its innards shredded by the endless Sword Qi. Blood splattered across the sky as it perished in an instant!

With just a single strike, he had slain a Tier Two Great Demon!

This astonishing scene brought a moment of silence to the entire Cui Ping Mountain.

The remaining Great Demons revealed looks of shock. They retreated one after another, staring at Changqing Mountain with a mixture of fear and uncertainty.

Yu Hongmei and Liu Yuzhu were shaken to their core.

They never imagined that Li Chang’an, who had always seemed so ordinary, possessed such astonishingly lethal methods.

That terrifying Sword Array…

…was comparable to a full-power strike from a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator!

Xiang Chisong was also amazed and shouted loudly.

“Excellent! Well done, Daoist Li!”

Taking advantage of that brief moment, he controlled his Spiritual Artifact and injured a Tier Two Middle Stage Demon Beast.

「After that.」

The situation changed.

The remaining eight Great Demons grew wary of both Changqing Mountain and Chisong Peak.

They exchanged glances, and an instant later, they split up to attack Xuemei Peak and Cui Zhu Peak.

The pressure on these two main peaks increased dramatically.

Just over a dozen breaths later.

With a loud BOOM, a Tier Two Array on Cui Zhu Peak was forcefully smashed to pieces!

Although these Demon Beasts didn’t understand Arrays, they understood brute force.

Breaking an Array with force!

“Not good!”

Liu Yuzhu’s expression changed drastically. The usual lazy look on her pretty face was gone.

She didn’t dare hold anything back, desperately controlling the Array and flinging out countless Tier Two Talismans.

「In the blink of an eye.」

Hundreds of assorted Tier Two Talismans flew from her Storage Pouch, filling the sky. They all ignited at once, creating a truly spectacular sight.

The dazzling, brilliant light from the Talismans illuminated the entire sky.

The power of the numerous Talismans stacked, forming a terrifying, resplendent storm that raged wildly, scaring the Great Demons into a hasty retreat, none daring to advance further.
