Eternal Life by Daily Divination

”Alright.”

Mu Xiaoxiao knew what was important and immediately began to explain to Li Chang’an.

The place where she was trapped was beneath a large lake, in a very peculiar space.

This space suppressed Divine Sense.

Her Divine Sense couldn’t spread very far, making it difficult for her to use it to detect danger.

The reason she had entered was just as Li Chang’an had guessed: for the legacy of the Cyan Wood Celestial Monarch from thirty thousand years ago.

Li Chang’an asked her, ”Daoist Mu, did you find the legacy of that Divinity Transformation senior?”

”No, I didn’t find anything.”

Mu Xiaoxiao held nothing back and explained the whole story.

She had a special constitution. While exploring a Secret Realm, she’d suddenly felt a connection and followed it, finding a Token engraved with the words ”Cyan Wood.”

Inside the Token, a special space was marked.

At the time, she was ecstatic, thinking it contained the Cyan Wood Celestial Monarch’s legacy.

But the reality was completely different from what she had imagined.

This space held no legacy. Instead, it was filled with dangerous traps, which had kept her trapped for many years.

Some traps even blocked the effect of her Communication Jade Pendant, making it impossible for her to contact the outside world.

Today, she had finally managed to escape from one of the traps, allowing her Communication Jade Pendant to function normally again.

”Daoist Li, this space is incredibly complex, filled with poisonous fog, monsters, various traps, and broken Arrays. It’s also very difficult to use Divine Sense. You mustn’t force your way in. Please, find a Golden Core Master to help me.”

”It’s fine. I am already a Golden Core.”

”What?”

Mu Xiaoxiao was astonished.

Before she was trapped, Li Chang’an’s strength seemed to be only at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

’How did he reach Core Formation so quickly?’

”Daoist Li, how many years have passed in the outside world?”

Mu Xiaoxiao was anxious, thinking that the flow of time was different between the two spaces.

Such things had occasionally happened in the history of the Cultivation Realm.

According to legend, a Cultivator was once hunting Demons in the mountains when he saw two Immortals playing chess.

He became engrossed watching them. By the time he came to his senses, the two Immortals had vanished, and the world outside had completely changed, with countless ages having passed.

Li Chang’an reassured her, ”Don’t worry, Daoist Mu. I was just hiding some of my Cultivation. Not much has changed outside.”

”I see.”

Mu Xiaoxiao relaxed a little, breathing a sigh of relief.

”Then I’ll have to trouble Daoist Li to save my life.”

”Alright, I’ll give it a try.”

Li Chang’an agreed.

’Since the Token Mu Xiaoxiao found points to that space, it’s possible there really are Treasures related to the Cyan Wood Celestial Monarch inside. It’s just that Mu Xiaoxiao’s Cultivation is too low for her to find them.’

Of course, Li Chang’an wouldn’t take any unnecessary risks.

’If the Divination shows danger, I’ll give up on this.’

He quietly left Changqing Mountain and entered the Black Dragon Mountain Range.

The entrance to the Thousand Lakes Secret Realm was deep within this mountain range.

「A few days later.」

Li Chang’an entered the Thousand Lakes Secret Realm.

Instantly, a dense wave of Water Element Spiritual Power washed over him, making his whole body feel damp and sticky.

This was his first time entering the Thousand Lakes Secret Realm.

As far as the eye could see, the entire Secret Realm was a vast expanse of azure blue.

The sky was deep and clear as a washed-out sapphire, like an inverted lake.

The land below was dotted with lakes of all sizes, like stars.

’No wonder it’s called the Thousand Lakes Secret Realm. This place is perfect for Cultivators with a Water Spirit Root.’

Li Chang’an transformed into a streak of light, flying over one lake after another, avoiding various dangerous areas along the way as he headed straight for the depths of the Thousand Lakes Secret Realm.

The Thousand Lakes Secret Realm hadn’t been discovered for very long, so there were still many dangerous areas that remained unexplored.

Every day, many Cultivators entered it to explore and hunt for Treasure.

「Three days later.」

Li Chang’an discovered a peculiar place.

There were two large lakes here. One was the color of water, while the other was filled with burning magma.

It felt somewhat familiar, and after a moment of thought, he quickly understood why.

Years ago, before his Foundation Establishment, he had killed the Cao Family disciple Cao Hao and found a top-tier Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object in his Storage Pouch—the Water and Fire Two-Life Flower.

He later learned from interrogation that Cao Hao had obtained that Water and Fire Two-Life Flower from a strange place.

’So this is the place.’

Li Chang’an slowly descended, spreading his Divine Sense to see if there were any other Treasures.

Such unique locations often give birth to many Treasures.

However, he didn’t find much.

But when he extended his Divine Sense into the depths of the two lakes, he felt a sharp sting.

’There’s a Treasure!’

Deep within the magma lake, there was a scorching hot mass that shone like a brilliant sun, its entire body a resplendent gold.

The moment Li Chang’an’s Divine Sense drew near, he felt the pain of it about to melt.

And in the depths of the other, water-blue lake, there was an extremely icy aura.

His Divine Sense couldn’t touch that one either.

Even just forcing it close gave him the sensation that it was about to freeze solid.

’They are indeed Treasures, but with my current abilities, I can’t take them away.’

Li Chang’an frowned and withdrew his Divine Sense.

He had a faint feeling that both of these Treasures would be beneficial to his Divine Sense, but his current strength was insufficient to withstand them.

By the time his strength was sufficient in the future, these two Treasures might have already been taken by someone else.

’A Golden Core Cultivator probably can’t take this opportunity. The only worry is if a Nascent Soul True Monarch finds out about it. But this Thousand Lakes Secret Realm has been discovered for many years. This place must have been investigated by many Cultivators, yet no one has taken the opportunity so far...’

Li Chang’an pondered for a moment.

He had considered setting up an Array to conceal this place.

But doing so would be like trying to hide something in plain sight, which would only arouse the curiosity of others.

’Forget it. If I get it, it’s my fortune. If I lose it, it’s my fate. I can’t force it.’

Li Chang’an memorized the location and, without further hesitation, transformed into a streak of light and departed.

「Another few days passed.」

He finally arrived at the place where Mu Xiaoxiao was trapped.

This location was also a large lake, with a special space beneath its surface.

Li Chang’an didn’t enter. Instead, he waited quietly outside.

Soon, Midnight arrived.

A golden light appeared before his eyes.
