Eternal Life by Daily Divination

He had obtained the Talismanic Inheritance.

The path of Talismans, which had been a dead end for Li Chang’an, was now open once more.

He carefully put the inheritance away and continued to inspect the remaining treasures.

Inside the Storage Pouch, most of the remaining treasures were related to the Demonic path.

For instance, there was the Demonic Technique: Corpse Explosion Technique.

According to its description, this technique belonged to the Nether Prison Sect, one of the Nine Ancient Major Sects, and was Earth Grade.

As long as enough corpses of high enough quality were detonated simultaneously, its power could easily surpass that of a Celestial Grade Magic!

The biggest problem with using this technique was finding a large number of suitable corpses.

The corpses of Qi Refining Cultivators were relatively cheap, but those of Foundation Establishment Cultivators were quite expensive. An ordinary Demonic Cultivator couldn’t afford more than a few.

’This technique may be powerful, but it’s not worth the effort for me. My Sword Formation Technique is more focused and much easier to use.’

Li Chang’an quickly lost interest after a brief look and tossed it into a corner of his Storage Pouch.

This thing was only good for filling up the shelves of Changqing Mountain’s Library Pavilion.

A moment later, a Spiritual Light flashed in his hand, revealing a pale yellow Spirit Fruit.

’A Bright Yellow Fruit! A Tier Three Earth Element Spirit Fruit, perfect for an Earth Element Demon Beast!’

Li Chang’an smiled. This was perfect for Dahuang.

He summoned Dahuang and tossed the Bright Yellow Fruit to him.

“You’re not far from the Tier Two Late Stage. If you completely absorb this Spirit Fruit’s medicinal power, you should be able to break through.”

“WOOF!”

Dahuang looked excited, wagging his tail as he swallowed the Bright Yellow Fruit in one gulp.

As expected, after devouring the Tier Three Spirit Fruit,

Dahuang’s aura grew steadily, gradually approaching the threshold of the Tier Two Late Stage.

Just then, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power began to stir.

Li Chang’an set up several Tier Two Arrays to gather Spiritual Power and conceal the fluctuations, protecting Dahuang during his advancement.

About a quarter of an hour later, Dahuang smoothly advanced to the Tier Two Late Stage.

With his talent from a Top Grade Bloodline, his chances of breaking through to Tier Three were high. After all, that Huang He had a Top Grade Bloodline as well.

However, Li Chang’an had yet to obtain any treasures that could help a Spirit Beast advance.

’I wonder what’s become of the Zhou Family.’

The best place to get such treasures was the Zhou Family.

But the Zhou Family had long since suffered a backlash from two Tier Three Demon Kings.

If he were to face them head-on, the Evil Soul could only hold off one of them.

Li Chang’an wasn’t confident he could handle the other Demon King.

He shook his head, pushing the matter to the back of his mind for now.

’First, I’ll focus on my own advancement. As for Dahuang’s and Xiaohai’s advancement treasures, I’ll just have to leave it to fate.’

He continued to sort through the treasures, picking out any suspicious items and tossing them one by one into Soul-breaking Cliff.

After a while, he finished sorting all the treasures.

Li Chang’an used an Escape Technique and distanced himself from Soul-breaking Cliff.

He left the Blood Stone Secret Realm and went to the Black Dragon Mountain Range, where he found a relatively secluded spot and released Mu Qiuyan from his Spirit Beast Bag.

Mu Qiuyan’s eyes were tightly shut; she was still unconscious.

Li Chang’an sent a trace of Magical Power into her to wake her up.

“Qiuyan, it’s time to wake up.”

Mu Qiuyan’s eyelids fluttered. She opened her eyes, a flicker of confusion in them.

But she quickly came to her senses, her heart filled with anxiety as she swept her Divine Sense across the surroundings.

“Brother Li, where is the Yin Soul Sect’s Fourth Saint Child?”

“I killed him.”

“What?”

Mu Qiuyan’s lips parted slightly, her heart trembling with shock.

That Li Chang’an had managed to escape the pursuit of numerous Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Cyan Cloud Sect was already incredible to her.

But now, she had heard something even more unbelievable.

“Brother Li, the Fourth Saint Child had a Fake Pill Main Soul. Did you… did you already reach Core Formation?”

It sounded absurd, but it was the most logical explanation she could think of.

The power gap between the Fake Pill and Foundation Establishment stages was immense.

If Li Chang’an hadn’t reached Core Formation, how could he have defeated that Fake Pill Main Soul?

He smiled and replied, “How could I reach Core Formation so quickly? I just used an Ancient Treasure I happened to find in the Secret Realm. It can unleash a single strike at the power of the Late Stage of Golden Core.”

“Oh, so that’s how it was…”

Mu Qiuyan’s face cleared with understanding.

That explanation was indeed more plausible than her own.

Li Chang’an took out numerous Demonic Cultivation Techniques and Demonic Techniques from his Storage Pouch, made a copy of each, and handed them to Mu Qiuyan.

“Qiuyan, you’ve walked far down the Demonic path. These should be useful to you.”

“Brother Li, thank you.”

Mu Qiuyan expressed her thanks and accepted all the Cultivation Techniques and Magic without hesitation.

Her great revenge was complete, but the Cyan Cloud Sect’s warrant for her was still active. She feared they might hire a Master of Divination to deduce her location.

Therefore, the stronger she became, the better.

A short while later, the two parted ways.

Mu Qiuyan was heading back to the mortal world to pay respects at her mother’s grave.

As for Li Chang’an, he returned to the Black Market.

…

「Meanwhile.」

Deep within the Yin Soul Sect’s Mountain Gate.

In a dark, gloomy hall, four Soul Lamps were arranged.

Three of them burned normally, but the last one was extinguished, signifying that its owner had fallen.

“Fourth Brother is dead.”

A plain-looking young Cultivator walked up to the Soul Lamps and examined them carefully, confirming that the Fourth Saint Child was indeed dead.

He looked at another Cultivator not far away and asked, “Second Brother, Fourth Brother had quite a few treasures on him. We could hunt down his killer in the name of avenging him.”

“We don’t even know who the killer is. Who do you plan on hunting?”

The man sat cross-legged in the shadows, his voice indifferent. He clearly didn’t care much about the matter.

If Li Chang’an had been there, he would have recognized this person immediately.

Murong Kang!

Somehow, he had become the Second Saint Child of the Yin Soul Sect.

He paid little mind to the death of the Fourth Saint Child.

Recently, he had only truly cared about two things: reaching Core Formation, and Li Chang’an.

’So much time has passed… Why hasn’t Li Chang’an cultivated the Demon Planting Technique? Doesn’t he want to bypass the shackles of his Spiritual Root?’
