Eternal Life by Daily Divination

”I understand.”

Li Chang’an nodded.

He spread his Divine Sense and quickly spotted the objective of his trip.

The Earth Element Blood Stone of Ten Thousand Demons was casually placed on a shelf deep within the Treasure Vault.

Li Chang’an didn’t exchange for the Ten Thousand Demon Blood Stone immediately. Instead, he walked slowly through the Treasure Vault, his eyes sweeping over one precious Treasure after another.

Many of these Treasures had reached Tier Four.

’If no one was watching, I’d want to take them all.’

Unfortunately, the Artifact Spirit was watching, and he only had one Token.

’I’ll have to visit more Black Markets and Spiritual Ore mines in the future. If I cut open more stones, I might find more Tokens.’

Although he didn’t know any Treasure Hunting Techniques, he had the Stone Eye, an Illusion-Breaking Treasure, which was perfect for stone gambling.

Throughout the Three Kingdoms Cultivation Realm, countless Cultivators were passionate about stone gambling. They all hoped to risk a little to win a lot and soar to greatness, but most of them ended up exhausting their Spirit Stones.

Li Chang’an temporarily suppressed this thought and continued to inspect the numerous Treasures.

After a while, he stopped in front of a Celestial Grade Magic.

He noticed that this Celestial Grade Magic, as well as the many other Celestial Grade Magic and Cultivation Techniques beside it, were all labeled ”Pseudo-Celestial Grade.”

Li Chang’an asked, ”Senior, what does ’Pseudo-Celestial Grade’ mean?”

The Artifact Spirit informed him, ”The Great Jin Immortal Dynasty divided Celestial Grade Cultivation Techniques and Magic into three Tiers: ’Pseudo-Celestial Grade,’ ’True Celestial Grade,’ and ’Perfect Celestial Grade.’”

According to it, the vast majority of Celestial Grade Cultivation Techniques and Magic in this world could only be considered Pseudo-Celestial Grade.

True Celestial Grade Cultivation Techniques and Magic were extremely rare.

The final tier, Perfect Celestial Grade, was even rarer—almost never seen.

’Perfect?’

Li Chang’an’s heart stirred as he thought of the Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique he cultivated.

At Foundation Establishment Peak, this Cultivation Technique allowed one to accumulate 365 drops of Liquid Magical Power, which was widely acknowledged as a perfect state.

Thinking of this, Li Chang’an immediately channeled his Magical Power, condensing a Cyan Yuan Profound Vine in front of him.

”Senior, what Tier would you say this Magic of mine is?”

”It barely reaches the threshold of Pseudo-Celestial Grade. The only reason it’s powerful is because the quality of your Golden Core Magical Power is extremely high.”

The Artifact Spirit gave its judgment calmly.

Afterward, Li Chang’an cast a variety of Magic and asked the Artifact Spirit to judge them.

The Artifact Spirit was very patient, judging the Tier of each Magic one by one.

Without exception, all the Celestial Grade Cultivation Techniques and Magic that Li Chang’an had obtained from the various Major Sects and Noble Families were Pseudo-Celestial Grade!

Additionally, the Celestial Wood Immortal Wheel and Mu Longteng he had acquired on his own were also Pseudo-Celestial Grade Magic.

Of course, there were also different levels within the Pseudo-Celestial Grade.

”This Mu Longteng is not bad. Among Pseudo-Celestial Grade Magic, it’s considered one of the better ones.”

The Artifact Spirit commented faintly.

After seeing the Cyan Wood Divine Light, its evaluation was much higher.

”This Magic should be a True Celestial Grade Magic, but it seems incomplete. Did you not obtain the full version? From what I can see, its complete power is likely much greater than this.”

”Incomplete?”

Li Chang’an was lost in thought.

He had only obtained the first three volumes of the Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique and was missing the subsequent content.

All these years, he had always thought that only the Cultivation Technique was incomplete.

After the Artifact Spirit’s reminder, he finally realized that the two Magic, Cyan Wood Divine Light and Ancient Wood Divine Armor, were also likely missing parts.

’These two Magic, even in their incomplete state, far surpass other Pseudo-Celestial Grade ones and have reached the level of True Celestial Grade. If they were complete, could they reach the Perfect Grade? Since the Cultivation Technique can be considered perfect, it’s only logical that the accompanying Magic should also be perfect.’

After some conversation, Li Chang’an no longer brought up the Tiers of Magic, instead asking about the ascension of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty.

”Senior, did the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty really ascend to the Immortal Realm?”

”I do not know. I am merely a Flying Boat Spirit. I was placed here long before the Great Jin began plotting its Ascension.”

The Artifact Spirit shook its head, a hint of confusion in its tone.

Li Chang’an asked again, ”Was the person sitting cross-legged outside the last Emperor of Great Jin?”

”I don’t know. I have never seen the last Emperor of Great Jin, but his bloodline aura does indeed belong to the Great Jin Royal Family, and the style of his Dragon Robe matches the specifications of the Great Jin Royal Family.”

According to the Artifact Spirit, the crazed senior was most likely the last Emperor of Great Jin.

As for how he had managed to live until now, the Artifact Spirit was also unsure.

However, regarding immortality, the Artifact Spirit did point Li Chang’an in a certain direction.

To turn oneself into an Artifact Spirit!

”Become an Artifact Spirit?”

”That’s right!”

The Artifact Spirit stated that this was an alternative path to longevity, and it should be viable.

It had once heard some Cultivators from the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty discussing this matter.

After becoming an Artifact Spirit, as long as the Treasure one inhabited was not destroyed, one could exist in the world for a very long time.

Of course, this path had many restrictions.

Once you became an Artifact Spirit, you would lose all freedom.

As a Flying Boat Spirit, it had to rely on the Flying Ship for its existence. Although it could perceive many things around it, it could not leave the Flying Ship.

”Perhaps this is the price for an alternative path to longevity. You are still young. I suggest you walk the proper path to longevity.”

”Senior, what is the proper path?”

”Simple. You break through to a higher realm before your lifespan reaches its end. As long as you break through fast enough, death will never catch up to you...”

In the Artifact Spirit’s view, this was the true Path of Longevity.

All other methods of longevity were minor paths.

His conversation with it was very fruitful for Li Chang’an.

Several hours passed without him realizing.

Finally, Li Chang’an arrived in the depths of the Treasure Vault and stood before the Earth Element Blood Stone of Ten Thousand Demons.

He picked it up and briefly inspected it with his senses.

’The quality of this stone is higher than the one I obtained back then. It should be enough for Dahuang to advance to an Earth Grade Bloodline.’

There were many Treasures in the vault, some even more valuable than this Ten Thousand Demon Blood Stone.

But this Ten Thousand Demon Blood Stone was the most suitable for him.

Li Chang’an no longer hesitated. He said to the Artifact Spirit, ”Senior, I would like to exchange for this Ten Thousand Demon Blood Stone.”

”Alright!”

The Artifact Spirit waved its hand casually.

Li Chang’an faintly sensed that some kind of restriction on the Ten Thousand Demon Blood Stone in his hand seemed to have vanished.

Immediately after, he felt his vision darken.

In the blink of an eye, he was sent outside the Flying Ship.

The Artifact Spirit’s final words echoed in his mind.

”Your luck is quite good. Perhaps you will be able to obtain more Treasure Tokens.”
