Eternal Life by Daily Divination

”Prince Huai, where is the Faith Technique?”

Li Chang’an released the restrictions of the Wood Seed Technique and questioned him.

Prince Huai didn’t answer. Instead, he roared, ”Li Chang’an, you’re a successor to the Blood Demon! If word of this gets out, the entire world will hunt you down, and you’ll die without a burial place!”

He was extremely knowledgeable. The moment he was controlled, he had already guessed what kind of Magic Li Chang’an had used.

Li Chang’an said calmly, ”Whether I die or not is still up for debate. But Prince Huai, if you don’t tell me the Faith Technique, you won’t be able to hold on to your own life.”

”You...”

Prince Huai opened his mouth, a flash of conflict in his eyes.

The Great Qi Immortal Dynasty had survived for thirty thousand years precisely because of its Faith Technique.

In all that time, the Faith Technique had never been leaked.

If he told Li Chang’an, he would become a traitor to the entire Great Qi.

’Looks like Prince Huai has no intention of telling me.’

Li Chang’an’s tone suddenly grew colder.

He waved his hand.

The Venerable Soul Banner flew out, and the Evil Soul emerged from it with a sinister laugh.

”JIE JIE JIE, you old bastard! You’ve finally fallen into the Master’s hands!”

With its green face and sharp fangs, it was incomparably hideous. Its eyes, like burning cyan lamps, were fixed on Prince Huai as if looking at a delectable feast.

Back when Prince Huai had ambushed them, Li Chang’an hadn’t felt particularly aggrieved, but the Evil Soul had been utterly humiliated and had been dying to get its hands on Prince Huai to vent its anger.

”Master, I’ve already tortured that Xu Jingxian until his soul was annihilated. I was just worrying about who to torture next.”

Hearing the term ”soul annihilated,” Prince Huai shuddered.

’What kind of terrifying method could cause one’s soul to be annihilated?’

’But once your soul is annihilated, you vanish completely from the world.’

’Everything turns to nothing!’

’Was he really going to give up even the hope of reincarnation for the sake of the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty?’

Just then, the Evil Soul let out another sinister laugh. ”Master, just hand this old bastard over to me! In a month at most, I guarantee I can make him cough up the Faith Technique!”

With that, it prepared to make its move.

Prince Huai’s expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly cried out.

”Wait!”

”What, got some last words, you old bastard?”

”No, I... I am willing to give you the Faith Technique.”

It seemed as though uttering this sentence had drained all the strength from Prince Huai’s body.

After he spoke, his inner conflict vanished. His Essence, Qi, and Spirit plummeted, and his back was no longer straight, as if his spine had been ripped out.

Next, under the watchful eyes of Li Chang’an and the Evil Soul, Prince Huai took up a brush and wrote out a thick manual on the application of faith.

[All Living Beings Venerate the Emperor’s Way]

Thirty thousand years ago, the ancestor of Great Qi received this Cultivation Technique from the Cyan Wood Celestial Monarch, leading to Great Qi’s thirty thousand years of glory.

Today, this Cultivation Technique had fallen into Li Chang’an’s hands.

With this technique, his path to forging a Fake Soul had officially taken a giant leap forward.

At this moment, even his heart, usually as still as placid water, couldn’t help but ripple with waves of excitement.

He took a few deep breaths, suppressed his various emotions, and focused.

’A gift from a Celestial Monarch!’

With deep-set eyes, Li Chang’an carefully read through the Cultivation Technique.

Its profundity was no less than any other Cultivation Technique he had ever seen in his life, and it opened another door for him.

This was a completely different path of cultivation.

He spent several days fully comprehending all of its contents.

That evening, Li Chang’an activated the Cultivation Technique, and an imperceptible golden light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

In an instant, the entire world before his eyes changed.

In the once-ordinary world, countless specks of shimmering golden Power of Faith appeared.

Vast amounts of the Power of Faith converged, forming dazzling streams that surged ceaselessly through the world.

Countless streams then merged into a great, churning river that flowed out in all directions.

And Li Chang’an himself was the final destination for one of these rivers of faith!

’The Power of Faith on me comes from the Changqing Mountain region.’

Within the Changqing Mountain region, there were numerous Mortal Realms.

Li Chang’an did not manage these realms directly, instead letting the various families under his command manage them separately.

Whenever those Mortal Realms suffered calamities—such as droughts, locust plagues, or floods—the various families would issue missions to their disciples, ordering them to handle the disasters.

Natural disasters that left mortals helpless were trivial to Cultivators and could usually be resolved with ease.

Over time, many mortals began to worship the Cultivators of the various families.

But those Cultivators didn’t dare accept the worship for themselves. They could only instruct the mortals to replace their own statues with those of Li Chang’an, the Changqing Ancestor.

Mortals couldn’t comprehend realms like ”Qi Refining,” ”Foundation Establishment,” or ”Golden Core,” so they could only use the most noble titles they could imagine to refer to Li Chang’an.

Now, in the many Mortal Realms, Li Chang’an had countless titles.

For example, ”Emperor Haotian,” ”Great Celestial Venerable,” ”Jade Emperor,” and so on.

In the eyes of many mortals, he was the supreme being who ruled over all other gods.

At almost every moment, someone was kneeling before his statue.

The individual strands of faith from all living beings finally merged into this magnificent river, surging into his body.

With a thought, Li Chang’an activated the All Living Beings Venerate the Emperor’s Way. His own aura immediately began to skyrocket, instantly rising from the Middle Stage of Golden Core to the Late Stage of Golden Core, and then quickly reaching the Golden Core Peak.

A moment later, his entire body shook as he broke through the Golden Core Limit!

However, that was as far as it went.

The mortal faith from the Changqing Mountain region alone wasn’t enough to grant him the power of a Nascent Soul. He was still far from even the weakest Fake Soul.

’My own Cultivation is still at the Middle Stage of Golden Core, but I’ve temporarily gained an extra reserve of Power of Faith that I can command.’

Li Chang’an silently assessed his current state.
