Eternal Life by Daily Divination

During this process, the light emanating from her body grew increasingly dazzling. Immediately after, she waved her delicate hand. Countless members of the Wang Family were sent flying, hurled toward the horizon. Among them was Wang Qianling.

She was covered in blood, her Battle Armor shattered. Severely injured and having exhausted her Tier Four Cards, she originally would have died at the hands of a Demonic Nascent Soul, but that woman had saved her life.

”Qingmeng!” Wang Qianling’s beautiful eyes welled with tears as she gazed at the woman, her gaze filled with profound sorrow. It seemed she wanted to rush back, but her entire body was overwhelmingly weak. After taking barely two steps, she coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed forward.

At this moment, Li Chang’an appeared and supported her.

”Daoist Wang, if you go back, I’m afraid it will be a certain death.”

”Daoist Li?” Wang Qianling’s eyes were unfocused, her voice frail. ”Why are you here?”

”I was out gaining experience and just happened to pass by.”

Li Chang’an sent out a stream of Magical Power, examining her from head to toe. Wang Qianling’s injuries were extremely severe, and her Magical Power was nearly depleted. If she didn’t receive timely treatment, it would likely impact her future potential. He immediately took out a few Elixir Pills, dissolved their medicinal efficacy, and guided it into Wang Qianling’s body.

In just a moment, Wang Qianling’s condition stabilized. Li Chang’an grabbed hold of her, executed an Escape Technique, and rapidly fled the area.

On the way, he asked, ”Daoist Wang, who is that woman? Why does she also possess Nascent Soul strength?”

Wang Qianling’s face was etched with grief, tears shimmering in her eyes as she looked at the woman in the distance who was blocking the Demonic Nascent Soul. ”She is the Wang Family’s Spirit Body, Wang Qingmeng,” she explained to Li Chang’an, her voice hoarse.

Wang Qingmeng’s Spirit Body was incredibly rare. Even in the Ancient Texts of the major Nascent Soul Influences, there was only one recorded instance—the Time Spirit Body!

According to the Ancient Texts, as long as this Spirit Body was preliminarily awakened, its possessor could manipulate time. Based on the speculations of the ancients, if the owner of such a Spirit Body were to fully awaken, they might possess the strength to reverse the river of time itself.

The Time Spirit Body mentioned in the Ancient Texts never reached the stage of complete awakening. He could only alter himself or a specific outsider. When facing enemies, he could utilize the Spirit Body’s innate talent to instantly age them or turn them into infants.

However, this Time Spirit Body of the Wang Family had only barely awakened; she didn’t even have the ability to alter her enemies. To this day, she had awakened only one innate talent—Fleeting Beauty!

This talent could only be used once in a lifetime. Once activated, centuries of lifespan would burn in a single instant, granting her strength far exceeding her own cultivation realm. The dazzling, radiant light emanating from her body was, in truth, the Fire of Life burning away.

”I see.” Realization dawned on Li Chang’an, and he looked back.

Wang Qingmeng had reached the end of her life, sacrificing herself to block the Demonic Nascent Soul, her Fire of Life illuminating the entire world. Outsiders all claimed she possessed the most useless Spirit Body. No one had previously imagined that the final battle of her life would be so resplendent.

Ultimately, the brilliant flames gradually extinguished. This rare Time Spirit Body dissipated between heaven and earth just like that.

A soft sigh, laden with regret and reluctance, rang out beside the ears of Li Chang’an and Wang Qianling.

”Qian Ling, you must achieve Nascent Soul Formation.”

”Qingmeng...” Wang Qianling’s beautiful eyes turned red as tears fell like rain.

Li Chang’an sighed inwardly. The Time Spirit Body was so exceptionally rare that another one might not appear for the next ten thousand years. Before she could even mature, she perished in this catastrophe.

After Wang Qingmeng’s death, the Demonic Nascent Souls she had obstructed separated at once, continuing their pursuit of the fleeing members of the Wang Family. Among them, the direction Wang Songde pursued was precisely where Wang Qianling was located.

”There is something strange about this Wang Songde. He clearly possesses self-awareness, yet his body is not under his control. It’s somewhat like a Bloodline,” Li Chang’an murmured. He then placed Wang Qianling into a Storage Pouch, disguised his identity and aura, and took out the Stone Eye, using it to inspect Wang Songde’s body.

But the Stone Eye revealed no abnormalities. This indicated that Wang Songde had not been refined into a Bloodline.

At this moment, the Ten Thousand Poison Gu suddenly spoke. ”Master, I sense a stronger Gu Insect right inside Wang Songde’s body. I think he is most likely being controlled by a Gu Insect.”

”A Gu Insect?” Li Chang’an fell into deep thought. Seeing Wang Songde getting closer and closer, he did not flee. Instead, he took out the Chaotic Gu Powder he had previously obtained near the Qi Fortune Divine Altar.

He thought, ”Rumor has it that this item is effective even against Tier Four Gu Insects. If it’s useless, no matter—at worst, I’ll just avoid this Wang Songde and get far away from here.”

Li Chang’an took out some of the Chaotic Gu Powder and used his Magical Power to scatter the powder forward.

The next instant, a hazy gray mist emerged. Overflowing with murderous intent, Wang Songde didn’t dodge or evade, crashing right into the mist. His figure staggered, and a look of pain and struggle surfaced on his face.

”No...”

His facial features twisted, and his eyes turned bloodshot. He suddenly tore open his abdomen, reached his hand into his Dantian, and yanked out a pitch-black Gu Insect. That Gu Insect had originally been perched atop his Nascent Soul, seemingly capable of controlling Wang Songde’s actions. But now, affected by the Chaotic Gu Powder, it had fallen into chaos and lost its senses.

”Die!” Wang Songde squeezed fiercely, and the Gu Insect exploded on the spot.

Immediately after, he struck himself with a palm, causing half of his body to instantly burst apart. Li Chang’an discovered that within his flesh and bones, countless dense Spirit Patterns had been inscribed.

”A Flesh Puppet?”

”That’s right, precisely a Flesh Puppet,” Wang Songde sighed deeply. He had temporarily regained clarity and was no longer under control. But he sighed again, ”This body of mine has been refined into a Puppet by the Demonic path. There are also numerous restrictions within my Nascent Soul, so I can only maintain my clarity for a brief moment.”

”Daoist Wang, what was that Gu Insect?”

”It’s a Soul Control Gu.” Saying this, Wang Songde looked back toward the Wang Clan Territory. Seeing the mutilated corpses of the Wang Clan Members, his eyes filled with sorrow. He turned back and explained to Li Chang’an, ”This Gu is a Tier Four Gu Insect, refined by a Nascent Soul Old Demon from the Demonic Sect ’Jile Celestial Sect.’ If you encounter Cultivators from the Jile Celestial Sect in the future, Daoist, you must handle them with extreme caution.”

Li Chang’an asked him, ”Daoist, why were you controlled?”

”I don’t know either.”
