Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Du Han’s judgment was correct.

Within the outermost Grand Array were several Tier Three Top Grade Ring Arrays.

This would have been a real headache for any ordinary Tier Three Top Grade Array Master.

But Li Chang’an was not stopped.

Inside his Venerable Soul Banner were the souls of three Tier Three Top Grade Array Masters from the Western Domain.

Li Chang’an had slain one of them outside the Mu Family’s Red Leaf Valley, and the other two in the Mo Clan Territory.

He often discussed Array Dao Skills with these three souls, and his own proficiency with arrays grew increasingly refined. He could feel himself on the verge of a breakthrough.

Although he hadn’t broken through to Tier Four, he had already far surpassed other Tier Three Top Grade Array Masters.

’It’s a shame there are no Tier Four Treasures or opportunities to reach the Nascent Soul realm here. I wonder where the Cyan Wind Sect’s real Treasure Vault is? Could it have already been plundered by their enemies all those years ago?’

What Li Chang’an wanted most, of course, was an opportunity to reach the Nascent Soul realm, but it remained stubbornly out of his grasp.

After taking all the Treasures, he began to alter the arrays in the area.

He erased portions of the Array Patterns, removed some of the original Array Treasures, and then added new patterns and treasures.

In a short time, he had complete control over the Grand Arrays.

’Success!’

With a single thought, the Grand Arrays expanded abruptly, instantly engulfing everyone from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

”This is bad!”

”What’s going on?”

The expressions of He Xiangfeng and the others changed dramatically.

They were still contemplating how to break the array; they never imagined that this Array, a remnant from Ancient Times, would suddenly expand on its own.

Such a sudden change could only mean one of two things.

Either the Array was of such a high Tier that it had birthed an Array Spirit...

...or someone was controlling it!

Clearly, this was the latter.

”Daoist Li!”

Upon seeing Li Chang’an, everyone’s expressions changed once again.

Du Han grew uneasy, a chill creeping up his spine. He could already smell the stench of death.

For years, the one person he wanted to see least was Li Chang’an!

At his side, Nie Yu’s face was grim. He stared daggers at Li Chang’an as a sharp sword materialized in his hand.

He hadn’t wanted to see Li Chang’an either. But for Chang’an to suddenly appear and trap them in an array without a word of warning... his objective was painfully obvious.

Everyone else present also sensed Li Chang’an’s killing intent.

He Xiangfeng stepped forward and cupped his fists. ”Daoist Li,” he said, ”it has been many years. I trust you’ve been well?”

”Well enough.”

Li Chang’an replied nonchalantly, his expression impassive.

He Xiangfeng asked again, ”Daoist Li, have you come here today because of what happened back then?”

He didn’t specify what he was referring to.

But everyone knew exactly what he meant.

”That’s right.”

Li Chang’an’s tone was frigid as he glanced at Du Han, who stood behind He Xiangfeng.

”I have always focused on my Cultivation and never sought to make enemies. Yet Du Han and Nie Yu both attacked my Changqing Mountain. Today, I’ve come to demand an accounting!”

Hearing this, everyone understood.

This was not going to end peacefully.

Back then on Yellow Crane Mountain, Li Chang’an had also come demanding an accounting, and he had publicly struck down the Xiahou Father and Son.

And now, that demand for an accounting was being laid at the feet of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

Anywhere else, they wouldn’t have feared Li Chang’an.

After all, Li Chang’an’s Cultivation was only at the Early Stage of Golden Core, and the power he’d displayed in the past wasn’t particularly impressive.

However, they were now trapped within a Tier Three Top Grade Array!

No one else dared to make a rash move, terrified of drawing Li Chang’an’s attention.

Only He Xiangfeng could withstand the tyrannical pressure of the Array.

His voice was grave. ”Daoist Li, what happened back then was the fault of Daoist Nie and Daoist Du. I am willing to atone on their behalf.”

”Daoist He, step aside. This is not a debt you can repay.”

Li Chang’an’s attitude was unyielding and cold, leaving no room for negotiation.

He Xiangfeng stood his ground and made his offer.

He offered to let Li Chang’an enter the Ten Thousand Swords Sect’s Treasure Vault and take his pick of the treasures within.

But Li Chang’an had already used his two puppets, Ye Mengxian and Nie Ting, to trade for a great deal of the treasures from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect’s vault.

If Li Chang’an wanted anything else, he could trade for it whenever he pleased, so he refused outright.

He Xiangfeng’s brow furrowed. ”Daoist Li, is there truly no room for negotiation?”

”Daoist He, are you certain you won’t step aside?”

”Daoist Li, this is all in the past. Why can’t we...”

Before he could finish, He Xiangfeng’s expression changed dramatically.

A terrifying wave of Array Power descended from the heavens in an instant, slamming down upon him.

Li Chang’an couldn’t be bothered to waste any more words on him.

If the man wouldn’t step aside, he didn’t mind killing him along with the others.

BOOM!

The earth trembled as terrifying fissures spiderwebbed across its surface.

He Xiangfeng had vanished, having been smashed deep into the earth by the force of the blow.

He hadn’t practiced Body Refinement, but he was protected by a Treasure. He had also reacted in time, using his Magical Power to block most of the Array Power, so his injuries weren’t severe.

In the blink of an eye, he reappeared before them.

He looked at Li Chang’an, his expression exceptionally grave.

”Daoist Li, Daoist Nie and Daoist Du are members of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, after all. Today, I cannot stand by and watch you kill them. I must draw my sword on their behalf!”

As he spoke, He Xiangfeng’s aura erupted, and the surging Magical Power of a Late Stage Golden Core cultivator poured out from him.

Then, with a flash of Spiritual Light, a Treasure Sword exuding a formidable aura appeared in his hand.

This was it—the Sect’s Treasure of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

The Ten Thousand Shadows Sword!

SHIIING—

The Treasure Sword left its scabbard, its clear ring echoing to the heavens.

He Xiangfeng wielded the Treasure Sword, surrounded by a whirlwind of sword-shadows and glinting cold light. His aura was astounding.

”Slay!”

He roared, his aura surging to its absolute peak.

In an instant, thousands upon thousands of sword-shadows flooded the world, their power terrifying and their Sword Intent peerless, threatening to tear everything asunder.

He Xiangfeng and the Treasure Sword merged into one, streaking across the sky like a comet piercing the sun. They shot toward Li Chang’an, carrying an unstoppable force that could shatter all before it.
