Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

”Don’t rush, don’t rush.” Seeing Li Ji’an about to flee, Zou Yan hurriedly stepped forward.

”Fellow Daoist, this calamity you face cannot be avoided. The calamity of entering the city, this old man has had some insight and may have a way to weaken it by thirty percent, but if you just run away now, it would be truly hard for me to fathom.”

Li Ji’an frowned slightly, better to believe it than not.

”Please, fellow Daoist, inform me where this calamity will occur?”

Zou Yan looked at his grandson, his old face full of helplessness, and finally looked at Li Ji’an with a hint of pleading: ”It’s not that this old man and my grandson are being difficult, but the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. My lifespan is already short, and if I can’t secure a Core Formation future for my grandson...”

”If Xiaoqi becomes my disciple, will he have a chance to form a core?” Li Ji’an carefully sensed Xiaoqi’s condition.

Judging by his spiritual qi sensitivity, his Gold Element Spirit Root is of slightly below middle grade.

With such talent, forming a core truly poses some difficulty.

”The divination sign is clear!” Zou Yan affirmed.

”Raise your head!” Li Ji’an commanded.

Xiaoqi had been kneeling in front, head touching the ground, and now responded by lifting his head, his eyes clear and pure.

”Very well!” After scrutinizing for a moment, Li Ji’an finally nodded.

”Greetings, Master!” Xiaoqi bowed again.

Li Ji’an nodded and looked at Zou Yan.

”Thank you, the calamity you face involves fire. If, once inside the city, you can avoid it ahead of time, it can definitely be weakened by thirty percent.” Zou Yan no longer kept him guessing.

”Fire?” Li Ji’an raised an eyebrow slightly.

This calamity is related to fire?

Anger? Given my temperament and current situation, this can basically be ruled out.

Fire Element Technique? Because my Fire Element Technique reveals my true identity? This is possible, I must avoid using Fire Element Magical Power.

Fire Element Treasure? The Glass Lamp, Wind-Fire Fan must not be used.

Pill Fire... Little Fire Spirit?

Suddenly, Li Ji’an seemed to have a thought, perhaps the calamity most likely pertains to Little Fire Spirit.

Fire Element Holy Spirit, Spirit of Heaven and Earth, is undoubtedly the sacred object all cultivators in this realm dream of.

He had long heard that the Pill King of the Celestial Cyan Domain, True Man Chunyuan of the Ten Thousand Laws Palace, had earlier integrated a Tier Three Spirit Flame into his Dantian, which allowed him to ascend to a Tier Three Pill Master, and then his Alchemy Skill became exceptional, becoming a Pill King that dominated a domain!

”Is it True Man Chunyuan?” In an instant, Li Ji’an’s breath hitched.

True Man Chunyuan is not only a late-stage Core Formation Elder of the Ten Thousand Laws Palace, the only Tier Three Pill King in the Celestial Cyan Domain, but also the grandchild of the current True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws.

He has been stuck at the late-stage Core Formation for many years, probably without hope of Nascent Soul Formation, but if he could acquire a Tier Four Spirit Flame, he might have the hope of breaking through to Tier Four Pill Master.

And Little Fire Spirit, born as a Fire Element Holy Spirit, has limitless growth potential. If he knew, he wouldn’t hesitate to dig three feet into the ground to get it.

”But can he sense the Little Fire Spirit within my Dantian?” Li Ji’an was skeptical.

The Dantian is a cultivator’s second Divine Treasure, second only to the Sea of Consciousness. He had tested it with Ning Sujin’s Primordial Spirit, impossible to see through.

Right when Li Ji’an’s thoughts were myriad.

Suddenly, the Little Fire Spirit within the Dantian trembled slightly.

Li Ji’an’s expression changed, and he hurriedly communicated with the Little Fire Spirit.

”So that’s it!”

The Little Fire Spirit responded, sensing an aura of source.

And it has a heavenly sense of intimacy towards this source aura.

”Is it True Man Chunyuan’s Tier Three Spirit Flame?” Instantly, Li Ji’an realized.

The Little Fire Spirit can sense the other’s presence, the other must also be able to sense the Little Fire Spirit.

However, according to the Little Fire Spirit’s sensing, the other party is now still thousands of miles away to the south, moving in this direction.

”So close!” Li Ji’an was deeply fearful.

If Zou Yan hadn’t informed him ahead of time, he’d likely have overlooked the Little Fire Spirit’s sensing, and by then, facing True Man Chunyuan in person, he’d likely endure a life-threatening calamity.

Similarly, if he had just insisted on leaving Profound Light Immortal City, soon after he might run headfirst into the trouble.

”Parting for now, after passing this calamity, I will come find you!” Li Ji’an immediately said to Xiaoqi, then flew towards Profound Light Immortal City.

This time, the grandfather and grandson did not follow.

Soon, Li Ji’an stopped in a dense forest, quickly summoned Gugu and Fire Spirit, letting the Little Fire Spirit enter Gugu’s mouth universe.

”How about it?” Li Ji’an asked anxiously.

Just as he fled, the Little Fire Spirit sensed the other party suddenly accelerate.

Thankfully, the Little Fire Spirit gave a positive response; once it entered Gugu’s mouth universe, the sensing disappeared.

Exhaling deeply, Li Ji’an instructed Gugu to follow him underground.

He cautiously headed south, away from Profound Light Immortal City, still trying to avoid this calamity.

However, after flying for a short while, he sensed oppression coming from the direction of the Ten Thousand Laws Palace.

The area just landed was surrounded and sealed by cultivators from the Ten Thousand Laws Palace, the leader being a mid-stage Core Formation True Man.

And the sealed area continued to expand.

Seeing the encircling area about to block his path, Li Ji’an decisively chose to change direction, heading towards Profound Light Immortal City.

After all, at this moment surrounding cultivators all head towards Profound Light Immortal City, moving against the flow alone makes him appear guilty.

These people don’t care about evidence, but with suspicion, perhaps they would directly perform a Soul Search, posing greater risk.

As for Gugu, he can only let it burrow deep underground, waiting for the right moment.

”The way of divination indeed is extraordinary!” Mingling again with a few loose cultivators heading towards Profound Light Immortal City, Li Ji’an felt a sense of powerlessness.

A mere Second Tier Divination Master’s prophesized calamity really can’t be avoided?

He now possesses nothing of value, and with a Faceless Mask, he doesn’t have many gaps, only worried about Gugu being discovered.

Gugu’s mid-stage Tier Two cultivation, Concealing Divine Abilities can’t be detected by early-stage True Pill.

But the Ten Thousand Laws Palace has plenty of mid to late-stage Core Formation True Men, especially if True Man Chunyuan involves True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws in the search, Gugu could be discovered.

All his Spirit Treasures are within Gugu’s mouth universe, once Gugu is caught, his lifetime’s accumulation is wasted.

Feeling restless all the way, only thinking of Zou Yan’s prophetic words could ease his mind somewhat.

However, just entering Profound Light Immortal City, the city was already in an uproar.

”Just now the Holy Palace issued an emergency notification, within a five-thousand-mile radius of the Immortal City, sealed, entry permitted, exit forbidden, violators will be executed!”
