Eternal Life by Daily Divination

His wife, Lin Xiaoqian, was only a mortal. Living to her current age was already considered a long life.

Li Chang’an had come here today.

It was to see the two of them off on their final journey.

With a full head of white hair, Jiang Yunsheng smiled. “Daoist Li, I’ve grown so old, yet you remain as young as ever. Could you be one of the immortal beings from the legends?”

“Immortal? I wish.”

Li Chang’an shook his head. So-called immortality only existed in rumors.

After a bit more conversation, Jiang Yunsheng’s breathing grew weaker.

Just then, Jiang Lin rushed back from the Cultivation Immortality Realm.

After all these years, he had successfully established his foundation and made a small name for himself around Yellow Crane Immortal City.

At his current rate of cultivation, it was possible for him to reach the Core Formation stage in the future.

Not long after, Jiang Yunsheng was on his deathbed.

He didn’t have many regrets in his life, but he couldn’t stop worrying about Jiang Lin. Before he died, he sent a Sound Transmission to Li Chang’an.

“Daoist Li, this child is young and impetuous. If he gets into trouble in the future, I must ask you to look after him a little.”

“I can handle small troubles. If the trouble is too big, I’ll just look the other way.”

“Of course…”

Jiang Yunsheng’s worries were put to rest. He closed his eyes, and his breath slowly faded away.

At almost the same moment, his wife’s breath faded as well.

And just like that, they both passed away.

Their Souls appeared together, fingers intertwined, and traveled the Reincarnation Path together, disappearing into the void.

’The Reincarnation Path?’

Li Chang’an stared at the empty space where they had vanished.

In that instant, he suddenly perceived a trace of a profound and mysterious concept.

This concept was fleeting. It was as if he had comprehended something, yet he had gained nothing, and a sense of emptiness grew in his heart.

’Could it be that reincarnation is also something that can be comprehended?’

A startling idea formed in Li Chang’an’s mind.

If he could fully comprehend the mysteries of reincarnation, perhaps he could reincarnate again and again with his memories intact—a different kind of immortality.

But this was all too profound.

For now, all he could do was think about it.

…

「The next day.」

Li Chang’an returned to Changqing Mountain and continued his cultivation.

Before long, Liu Xuanfeng suddenly sought out Wan Xing, the Puppet under his control.

“Daoist Wan, do you have another way to deal with that Li Chang’an?”

“Sigh. Daoist Liu, that Li Chang’an is far too cautious. I’m at my wit’s end.”

Li Chang’an had Wan Xing reply, putting on a helpless expression.

A flash of disappointment crossed Liu Xuanfeng’s eyes.

He didn’t ask anything else. After a few more words of casual conversation, he turned and left.

Li Chang’an watched him leave, lost in thought.

’This guy still won’t give up. He’s so determined to get the Ten Thousand Demon Blood Stone. It must be for his Tier Three Earth Dragon.’

After making some inquiries recently, he had already found out that although Liu Xuanfeng was only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he possessed a Tier Three Ink-Scaled Earth Dragon as a Spirit Pet.

For a Celestial Pride from a Nascent Soul Sect like him, it was normal to have Tier Three capabilities.

Li Chang’an happened to need the Essence Blood of a Tier Three Dragon Beast, and that Earth Dragon would suffice. However, it wasn’t a good time to make a move.

’Liu Xuanfeng’s father is the Saint Child of the Purple Mist Sect. Killing Liu Xuanfeng would likely bring trouble. It would be best to separate him from the Tier Three Earth Dragon and kill the beast alone.’

Li Chang’an pondered for a long time.

In the days that followed, he often used various channels to gather information about the Earth Dragon.

Soon, he learned that the Earth Dragon would occasionally leave Liu Xuanfeng’s side to hunt Demon Beasts alone in the Black Dragon Mountain Range.

It seemed to enjoy the process of hunting Demons.

’This is an opportunity, but the timing of its solo excursions is unpredictable. I’ll have to wait.’

This matter could not be rushed.

Li Chang’an set the matter aside and continued practicing his Spirit Plant Skills.

…

「Six months later.」

Jiang Muyu returned from her training expedition.

Her small face was filled with joy; it seemed she had encountered a wonderful opportunity.

“Young Master, I’m back!”

“It’s good that you’re back. Get some rest.”

“Yes.”

Jiang Muyu hurried back to her own cave residence and sealed the entrance.

Then, she sat down cross-legged. With a flash of Spiritual Light from her hand, a fist-sized Dark Gold Treasure Pearl appeared.

’To think such a strange Treasure exists in the world.’

Jiang Muyu looked at the Treasure, her eyes filled with delight.

During this trip, she had unexpectedly received an inheritance from a senior.

Within this inheritance was a Core Formation Treasure and a Celestial Grade Water Element Technique.

The Dark Gold Treasure Pearl in her hand was that very Core Formation Treasure.

This item was called the “Illusionary Pill Pearl.”

It couldn’t increase the success rate of Core Formation, but it allowed a Cultivator to simulate the process.

With the experience of just one simulation, the success rate when truly attempting Core Formation would undoubtedly be much higher!

Because of this, the Treasure’s value far exceeded that of many other Core Formation Spiritual Objects.

’Young Master is too cautious. He thinks I’ll fail at Core Formation and refuses to let me go to the Zhou Family to attempt it.’

Jiang Muyu gripped the Illusionary Pill Pearl tightly as Li Chang’an’s words surfaced in her mind.

’Young Master, I will definitely succeed!’

With a single thought, she immediately activated the Illusionary Pill Pearl’s ability.

In the next instant, she sank into an Illusion and began to simulate Core Formation.

At first, everything went smoothly. She was young, after all, with no hidden injuries or old ailments. Her Qi and blood were not in decline, and she passed the Physical Body Barrier with ease.

Jiang Muyu was secretly pleased, thinking she could pass the next two barriers just as easily.

However, just as the process of condensing her Magical Power into a Core reached a critical step, she suddenly lost control. The embryonic Golden Core that had begun to form abruptly shattered.

’Not good!’

Her face turned deathly pale.

Her Dantian shattered at that moment, and her Meridians were torn to shreds by the rampaging Magical Power and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power. She was almost crippled.

The simulation had failed!

Jiang Muyu’s tightly shut eyes snapped open, filled with terror. She was drenched in a cold sweat.

Although this Core Formation was only a simulation, she had immersed herself in it so completely that everything felt terrifyingly real.
