Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Wei Xun’s face was all smiles, but his voice was filled with killing intent.

Hearing this, everyone on the Flying Ship grew a little confused.

Li Chang’an was just a Loose Cultivator from the Southern Domain. How could he have provoked the Saint Child of the Yellow Sand Sect?

Zi Yun’s face filled with worry. ”Daoist Li,” she asked, ”when did you make an enemy of that Wei Xu?”

She was worried because the power gap between the two was simply too great.

Li Chang’an was only at the Early Stage of Golden Core.

But Wei Xu was already in the Late Stage of Golden Core, and he was far stronger than an ordinary Late Golden Core Stage Cultivator.

If the two of them engaged in Magical Combat, Li Chang’an likely wouldn’t last more than a few moves before Wei Xu cut him down.

Li Chang’an replied, ”It’s a long story. It all started before I reached Core Formation...”

He briefly explained his feud with Mandarin Duck Valley of the Western Domain.

Of course,

he omitted many details, such as the fact that he had killed Shi Hu Master.

”That Shi Hu Master died mysteriously, and Wei Xun is his senior brother, so the task of killing me probably fell to him.”

”So that’s what happened...”

After he finished, Wu Shuo and the others were dumbfounded.

The whole affair was so full of twists and turns, even involving a Nascent Soul True Monarch, that they found it unbelievable.

Even the way Zi Xi looked at him became a bit strange.

”Daoist Li, to think you could provoke a Nascent Soul-level assassination attempt while you were still in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and then survive an encounter with a Nascent Soul True Monarch.”

She really didn’t know whether to call Li Chang’an lucky or unlucky.

To be targeted by a Nascent Soul True Monarch...

Any ordinary Golden Core Master would have probably developed a Heart Demon by now.

But Li Chang’an acted as if nothing was wrong, showing no sign of distress. If Wei Xu hadn’t taken the initiative to attack, no one would have ever known about this.

”After I reach the Nascent Soul realm, I will do my best to resolve this matter for you. Given Huang Sha True Monarch’s status, he shouldn’t keep targeting a junior like you indefinitely.”

”Thank you, Saintess.”

Li Chang’an thanked her at once.

Through their recent interactions, he had come to understand the Saintess’s character to some extent.

Since she had made a promise, she would definitely try to fulfill it.

Just then,

on the other Flying Ship, Wei Xu attacked again.

”Wind, rise!”

With a great shout, a gale suddenly swept across the world.

The vast wind howled, its aura violent. In an instant, it gathered before him and transformed into an earth-shattering shriek that lunged toward the Purple Mist Sect’s Flying Ship.

A Celestial Grade Magic: Huang Fengxiao!

Before the shriek even arrived, everyone’s ears were already ringing.

Zi Xi snorted coldly, waving her hand to cast a spell that dispersed the Huang Fengxiao.

The world quickly returned to normal.

”Wei Xu, do you really want to fight me?”

”Daoist Zi Xi, that Li Chang’an isn’t a member of your Purple Mist Sect. He’s just a Mountain Wanderer Cultivator. Why not give his head to me?”

Wei Xu stated his condition with a smile.

”As long as I take his head, I can guarantee that for the next three years, I will not compete with you for this Spiritual Ore lode.”

”Daoist Li is my friend.”

Zi Xi’s calm words directly extinguished all of Wei Xu’s hopes.

The smile on his face instantly faded.

With Zi Xi protecting him, there was no way he could kill Li Chang’an today.

”Li Chang’an, you’ll die by my hand sooner or later. Why not die now and save yourself from living in fear? Why don’t you leave the Flying Ship right now and let me take your head?”

Wei Xu stared at Li Chang’an, killing intent surging in his eyes.

He was confident enough.

As long as Li Chang’an left the Flying Ship and Zi Xi didn’t intervene, he could take Li Chang’an’s life in a single move.

Li Chang’an replied with a smile, ”Daoist Wei, you’re mistaken. I’m quite fond of living. I’ll take it one day at a time.”

Wei Xu frowned. ”Do you dare to fight me?”

”Why should I?”

”The Immortal Dao is long and arduous; one needs the heart of an expert. You don’t even have the courage to fight me and only want to hide behind others. How can you expect to get ahead on the path of the Immortal Dao?”

”Daoist Wei, I have no intention of getting ahead. I just want to live a little longer.”

”You...”

Wei Xu was at a loss for words, unable to think of a retort.

Li Chang’an didn’t care about face. His mentality was astonishingly stable, making it impossible to provoke him with words. He was like an old tortoise in its shell, completely unassailable.

After a brief standoff,

Wei Xu, unable to find a solution for the time being, had no choice but to retract his aura and return to his Flying Ship.

However, a faint, almost imperceptible aura lingered outside the Purple Mist Sect’s Flying Ship, vaguely locked onto Li Chang’an.

Obviously, as long as Li Chang’an left the Flying Ship, Wei Xu would find an opportunity to strike.

Seeing this, Zi Yun pleaded, ”Sister, can you escort Daoist Li back to Changqing Mountain?”

Hearing this, Zi Xi glanced at her, a strange, unreadable meaning in her eyes.

”Alright. It’s been a while. Let’s go back and take a look at that Spirit Vein.”

She didn’t refuse. With a wave of her fair hand, the Flying Ship immediately set off, heading out of the Secret Realm.

Li Chang’an immediately thanked her.

Wei Xu was now completely out of options and could only watch from a distance.

Although his strength was considerable, he didn’t dare follow them all the way. After all, Changqing Mountain was deep within the Southern Domain.

If he were to be besieged by Zi Xi and the many Golden Core Cultivators of the Southern Domain, he would be forced to flee in disgrace, even if he managed to survive.

...

「A few days later.」

A Purple Flying Ship came to a steady stop over Changqing Mountain.

Seeing the changes that had taken place on the Spirit Vein, Wu Shuo and the others were full of admiration.

Back then, they had only used this Spirit Vein as a Cultivation Dojo and hadn’t utilized all the Spiritual Land to its full potential.

Now,

at the foot of the mountain was the vast Changqing Immortal City.

It was prosperous and thriving, bustling with the voices of people, as Cultivators came and went in an endless stream.

The mountain itself was now home to numerous Spirit Medicine Gardens, where countless Spirit Medicines grew with lush branches and leaves, flourishing and bearing abundant fruit.

Even as members of the Purple Mist Sect,

they were a little envious of Li Chang’an’s life.

In the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm, possessing such an estate would surely make for a very comfortable cultivation life.
