Eternal Life by Daily Divination

’Could that location be the Chu Imperial Palace?’

He didn’t hesitate, immediately using an Escape Technique to race toward the location he had sensed.

Compared to the Purple Heart Stone in Wu Zhe’s possession, he was more interested in finding a way to intercept the Power of Faith.

After all, the Purple Mist Sect had plenty of Purple Heart Stones.

But a method for intercepting the Power of Faith was incredibly rare.

Of course, from the perspective of Wu Zhe, Xiao Yuan, and the others, he was clearly fleeing for his life.

”Hmph, trying to escape?”

Wu Zhe’s expression darkened. He instantly transformed into a streak of dark light and shot after Li Chang’an.

Xiao Yuan and the others didn’t dare leave, so they had no choice but to use their own Escape Techniques and follow behind the two.

But their strength was lacking, and in the blink of an eye, they were left far behind.

As Xiao Yuan gave chase, he shouted, ”Daoist Lin, why bother struggling? Joining the Demon Sect and submitting to the Saint Child is your only chance of survival!”

The other few also chimed in, demanding Li Chang’an stop.

But Li Chang’an paid them no mind.

「Before long.」

A grand and ancient Imperial Palace hall, shimmering with gold and jade, appeared before his eyes.

’It really is the Imperial Palace!’

He had scouted this area for the better part of a month before.

But at the time, he hadn’t discovered anything.

Evidently, this Imperial Palace had surfaced from deep underground after the earth tremors.

Li Chang’an spread his Divine Sense, confirmed there were no protective Arrays or other traps, and then headed straight for the Imperial Palace.

’That surge of the Power of Faith is inside the Imperial Palace.’

「At the same time.」

The Jade Seal in his Storage Pouch suddenly began to grow hot.

Li Chang’an took it out, gripped it tightly in his hand, and rushed into the Imperial Palace in the blink of an eye.

The entire palace hall was desolate and empty, save for massive Jade Pillars and a Throne that gleamed with a golden light.

There was nothing else.

’That Throne is just an ordinary Treasure. It hasn’t gathered any Power of Faith.’

Li Chang’an was already channeling the All Living Beings Venerate the Emperor’s Way to locate the Power of Faith.

The Power of Faith he sensed was behind the Throne.

But behind the Throne, there was only a flat wall.

’It seems there’s another space back there.’

Li Chang’an’s eyes narrowed slightly. He was just about to use Magic to shatter the wall.

「Just then.」

The Jade Seal in his hand suddenly became scalding hot, giving rise to a faint sensation within him.

This Jade Seal seemed to be the key to the special space behind the Throne; as long as he held it, he could open or close it.

’This Jade Seal is more useful than I thought.’

Li Chang’an immediately channeled his Magical Power into it.

Soon, the Jade Seal began to glow, its entire body shining with a brilliant golden light, as if it were cast from pure gold.

A beam of golden light shot out from the Jade Seal and struck the wall behind the Throne.

Ripples like the surface of water immediately appeared on the wall.

Understanding dawned on Li Chang’an.

’I can go in now.’

He didn’t let his guard down. Instead, he took out a Tier Three Puppet from his Storage Pouch.

He would use the Puppet to scout the way.

He controlled the Puppet, and with a flicker, it entered the space behind the wall.

In the next instant, a magnificent, golden secret chamber appeared before his eyes.

In the center of the secret chamber was a long, golden table.

On the table were two items: a translucent Jade Box and a Jade Scroll.

’The Power of Faith is coming from the Treasure in that Jade Box.’

Li Chang’an looked closely.

Inside the Jade Box was a dazzling Crown.

A considerable amount of the Power of Faith lingered within it.

”Come!”

He raised his hand and beckoned, pulling the Jade Scroll into his grasp.

Inside the Jade Scroll, there was no Magic for intercepting the Power of Faith, but rather an introduction to this Crown.

According to the introduction, this crown was named the ’Crown of the People’ and was the ultimate Treasure of the entire Chu Country.

It had only one function: to contain the Power of Faith!

’This crown can hold a vast amount of faith. As long as you carry it, even far from the borders of Chu Country, you can still receive enough Power of Faith to maintain your strength without it declining...’

After reading the introduction, Li Chang’an broke into a smile.

Although he hadn’t found the Magic to intercept the Power of Faith, he had obtained such a Treasure.

With this item, it didn’t matter if he didn’t have the interception Magic.

It was more than enough for his own use.

「Just then.」

Wu Zhe arrived at the Imperial Palace.

”Lin Fan, where do you think you can run?”

He shouted coldly, his entire body radiating chilling intent and killing aura.

Hearing this, Li Chang’an flickered and his real body entered the secret chamber behind the Throne.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he collected the Puppet, the Jade Box, the golden table, and everything else in the secret chamber.

The entire secret chamber was instantly empty.

「The next moment.」

Wu Zhe burst in.

His gaze was icy as he swept it across the secret chamber.

”There should have been a Treasure here, and you took it again. But no matter. Once I kill you, your Treasure will be mine!”

”Daoist Wu, you’re not wrong about that.”

A smile played on Li Chang’an’s face, showing not a trace of fear.

As he spoke, he secretly activated his Tier Four Divination Technique, filling the area with a mysterious Power of Divination.

Wu Zhe, completely unaware, sized up Li Chang’an.

The aura coming from Li Chang’an was only at the Early Stage of Golden Core. Furthermore, this identity of his was completely unknown; he was just an obscure Mountain Wanderer Cultivator.

Judging by surface-level strength alone, if the two of them were to fight, Wu Zhe was certain he could kill him.

「Soon.」

Xiao Yuan and his group also entered the space.

Wu Zhe ordered them, ”Seal this place! Don’t let him leave!”

”Yes!”

The group responded in unison.

They each brought out their Magical Treasures, looking utterly loyal as they guarded the entrance to the space.

Little did they know, there was no need for them to seal it.

Li Chang’an had already secretly used the Jade Seal to close the entrance, cutting the place off from the outside world.

’Perfect. Everyone’s here. Saves me the trouble.’

”Hmph, you court death!”

Wu Zhe barked, his hands forming a seal. His dark Magical Power instantly transformed into a ferocious monster that roared and charged at Li Chang’an.
