Eternal Life by Daily Divination

In the entire Wang family, the female cultivator Li Chang’an was most familiar with was naturally Wang Qianling. If he truly married into the family, she would also be his most likely choice.

Because of this, Wang Yannian claimed that everything he did was for Wang Qianling’s own good. He did not believe for a second that Li Chang’an had the ability to slay a demonic Nascent Soul.

However, Li Chang’an asked, ”Elder Wang, is there a time limit for this second condition?”

”Hmm? Li Chang’an, do you actually plan to hunt a demonic Nascent Soul?”

”This junior would like to try.”

”Such arrogant boasting!” Wang Yannian’s face turned ashen as he sharply rebuked him. ”Li Chang’an, I know you are a genius. You could slay a Golden Core cultivator while only at Foundation Establishment, but the gap between the Golden Core and Nascent Soul realms is far beyond your imagination!”

”This junior understands, but I still wish to give it a try.”

”Very well. I shall give you twenty years!” Wang Yannian’s voice was frigid; he didn’t bother trying to persuade him anymore. In his eyes, let alone twenty years, Li Chang’an wouldn’t succeed even if he had two hundred.

Li Chang’an offered his sincere gratitude. ”Thank you, Elder Wang.”

”Save your thanks. I want to see exactly how you manage to slay a demonic Nascent Soul!” Wang Yannian snorted coldly and waved his large hand.

In the next instant, Li Chang’an was transported out of the Wang clan territory. Wang Qianling was sent out alongside him, remaining by his side.

She let out a sigh. ”Daoist Li, the ancestor actually admires you greatly. He isn’t truly angry. He only hopes you will seriously consider joining our Wang family.”

”I understand.”

Li Chang’an was no fool; he could naturally see through the elder’s intentions. However, since the Wang family ancestor had offered him a second condition, he obviously had to try it.

Slaying a demonic Nascent Soul was indeed an impossible task for any other Golden Core cultivator. But Li Chang’an was different. He already possessed a Fake Soul cultivation along with two Tier Four skills. If he could gather a few more tricks up his sleeve, he should be able to kill an ordinary demonic Fake Soul cultivator.

Among the dozen or so demonic Nascent Souls listed by Wang Yannian, not all were True Souls. Half of them were Fake Souls, and among them was someone Li Chang’an recognized: Qian Shi True Monarch!

According to the information Li Chang’an had gathered, this person wasn’t particularly strong among Fake Soul cultivators. He had only barely crossed the threshold of Nascent Soul Formation, making him a bottom-tier Fake Soul cultivator.

He thought, ”In twenty years, the population in the Fire Cloud Secret Realm will increase significantly. The power of faith they provide might just allow me to approach a True Soul cultivation.”

In terms of cultivation, Li Chang’an was more than capable of suppressing Qian Shi True Monarch. Furthermore, he possessed the refining method for the Three Treasures of Soul Destruction. If he could successfully refine these three treasures, he wouldn’t have to worry about Qian Shi True Monarch’s Nascent Soul escaping.

”Even if I fail, I won’t lose anything,” he mused.

Li Chang’an maintained an excellent mindset. He had a long lifespan and was in no rush. Over his remaining eighteen hundred years of life, the Cultivation Immortality Realm could undergo countless changes, and more opportunities for Nascent Soul Formation might very well present themselves.

Wang Qianling asked with a worried expression, ”Daoist Li, are you truly going to attempt to slay a demonic Nascent Soul?”

”Do not worry, Daoist Wang. I have always valued my life; I am not a reckless person.”

After a few more brief exchanges, Li Chang’an transformed into a streak of light and departed, returning to Changqing Mountain.

He first entered the Fire Cloud Secret Realm, handing over massive amounts of resources to the hundreds of Divine Emperors. He instructed them not to worry about any resource constraints. No matter how large the population grew, he could support them!

Following that, he began to plot the refining of the Three Treasures of Soul Destruction.

He pondered, ”The Soul Suppression Nail, Trapped Soul Net, and Forbidden Soul Bottle—the tiers of these three treasures all reach Tier Four Low Grade. However, I am currently only a Quasi-Tier Four artifact refiner. I need a Tier Four refining inheritance.”

With this in mind, Li Chang’an immediately assumed his identity as Lin Fan and rushed toward the major Nascent Soul influences without a moment’s pause. He visited them one by one, seeking to exchange for a refining inheritance.

These eight major factions each had a heritage spanning at least ten thousand years, and all possessed Tier Four refining inheritances. However, the conditions they demanded in return...

”Why do they all want me to become an Honored Guest Elder?” Li Chang’an felt somewhat helpless.

Perhaps due to the Battle of Righteous and Evil, the major factions uniformly demanded that he become their Honored Guest Elder. The Great Qi Immortal Dynasty presented the most stringent conditions, demanding he protect Great Qi for three hundred years! The Vermilion Bird Sect’s requirement was the shortest, yet it still demanded fifty years.

If he refused, he wouldn’t be able to obtain a Tier Four refining inheritance.

He thought inwardly, ”Forget it. If push comes to shove, I will just hire a Tier Four artifact refining grandmaster to forge them for me.”

He didn’t want to expose the existence of the Three Treasures of Soul Destruction, so refining them himself was naturally the best option. In the days that followed, he continued to ask around for news regarding Tier Four refining inheritances.

One day, Luo Qiantong suddenly brought him some good news.

”Uncle Li, recently in the Central Domain’s Spirit Cloud Mountain Range, ruins of an Ancient Sect have appeared.

”These ruins didn’t exist before; they must have been unearthed by an earthquake. According to our scouts, this ruin belongs to an affiliated sect of the Profound Artifact Sect—one of the Nine Ancient Major Sects. It is called the Hundred Weapons Sect.”

Saying this, Luo Qiantong handed over a message jade scroll.

Li Chang’an accepted the jade scroll, projecting his divine sense into it to read through the information.

The message revealed that many refining inheritances had already been discovered within the Hundred Weapons Sect ruins. Not only were there low-tier inheritances like Tier One and Tier Two, but there were also quite a few Tier Three inheritances! Furthermore, two locations with Tier Four earth fire had also been discovered. Thus, many speculated that the core area of the ruins likely held Tier Four refining inheritances.

However, the core area of the ruin was protected by an incredibly powerful array. Even Tier Four Low Grade array masters couldn’t breach it.

He furrowed his brows and thought, ”It might be a Tier Four Middle Grade or even a Tier Four Top Grade array. It could even be Quasi-Tier Five.”

He wouldn’t be able to break through such an array, either. Fortunately, the message also stated that there was no need to break the array. As long as one possessed the identity token of a Hundred Weapons Sect Core Disciple, they could enter the core area.
