Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Both the Righteous and Demonic Dao suspected that Li Chang’an might have obtained some kind of treasure to control the altar. After all, if the Qi Fortune Divine Altar couldn’t be taken away, how had the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty utilized it back then?

Li Chang’an was fully aware of what they were thinking. He glanced around and said calmly, "The Great Jin Immortal Dynasty had Divinity Transformation powerhouses. Are any of you at the Divinity Transformation Realm?"

Hearing this, the crowd exchanged glances.

Previously, they had all subconsciously ruled out the possibility that their strength was insufficient. The Cultivation Immortality Realm had not seen a Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch for far too long. As Nascent Soul True Monarchs, they stood at the pinnacle of the entire realm and rarely encountered matters that could not be resolved with their might. That was exactly why they had suspected Li Chang’an.

Ming Xia True Monarch nodded. "Daoist Lin is right. The reason we are unable to shake this object is likely due to our insufficient Cultivation."

"As Nascent Soul True Monarchs, are you really going to blindly trust this person’s one-sided story?" Ten Thousand Souls True Monarch scoffed coldly, his fierce eyes fixed on Li Chang’an.

For some reason, he felt a sense of discomfort the moment he laid eyes on Li Chang’an. Had he known that Li Chang’an possessed another identity named "Li Fan," he would have naturally understood why—his most valued disciple had died by Li Chang’an’s hands.

"In my opinion, we should capture him first and interrogate him later!"

"Senior Brother makes sense!" Qian Shi True Monarch immediately agreed.

No further words were needed. The other Demonic Nascent Soul experts simultaneously made their moves. In an instant, seven tyrannical Demonic Nascent Soul auras locked onto Li Chang’an at the same time.

"Daoist Lin, you deal with Qian Shi!" Ming Xia True Monarch instructed, before immediately charging to meet Blood River True Monarch. The others also quickly engaged their old rivals.

The next instant, the chaotic battle erupted once more.

This clash was practically a replica of their previous fight. Although Li Chang’an could suppress Qian Shi True Monarch, he had to divert his attention to guard against sneak attacks from Ten Thousand Souls True Monarch. In the blink of an eye, everyone had exchanged thousands of blows. Nascent Soul Magical Power rumbled and echoed throughout the underground world, with every move hiding lethal intent.

It wasn’t long before both sides suddenly received news. The message came from the locations of the other two Qi Fortune Divine Altars. They learned that the altars at those two sites could neither be moved nor refined; they could only be left alone deep within the earth.

Upon receiving this news, both factions simultaneously ceased fighting.

"It seems this thing truly cannot be moved."

"Daoist Lin did not lie to us."

This unexpected information temporarily plunged the entire underground world into an eerie silence. If they continued fighting, it would be difficult to determine a victor, and it might even trigger the final confrontation of the Battle of Righteous and Evil ahead of time.

After a brief standoff from afar, Blood River True Monarch made another move. However, his target was not the Righteous Cultivators, but the Qi Fortune Divine Altar. This time, he utilized his Array Dao Skill, attempting to use the power of a Tier Four Middle Grade Array combined with his own strength to forcibly uproot the altar.

"Will he succeed?"

None of the Righteous Cultivators interfered. If Blood River True Monarch could actually shake the Qi Fortune Divine Altar, they would naturally step in to stop him. Yet, even with the aid of the array’s power, the entire altar remained completely unmoving, showing no changes whatsoever. Blood River True Monarch was forced to give up.

Afterward, members from both sides exhausted their respective methods. Once every attempt failed, the underground space returned to tranquility once again.

"Everyone, I’m afraid we made a wasted trip today."

"Huang Sha and the others plan to give up competing for this object. What do you all think?"

After some discussion, they all decided to leave. Even if they stayed, they wouldn’t be able to take the Qi Fortune Divine Altar away; it would just be a waste of time. While Nascent Soul True Monarchs enjoyed long lifespans, they couldn’t afford to squander them on such meaningless endeavors.

Soon, the members of the Righteous and Demonic Dao left the underground world one after another. Upon returning to the surface, the demonic practitioners departed immediately, disappearing over the horizon in the blink of an eye. The righteous crowd, meanwhile, returned to the Purple Mist Sect to regroup with the others.

In no time at all, over twenty Righteous Nascent Soul experts had gathered back in the grand hall of the Purple Mist Sect.

Li Chang’an did not participate in the subsequent discussions. Finding a random excuse, he left the Purple Mist Sect and returned to Changqing Mountain.

Over the next few days, Li Chang’an had been plotting the advancement of the Ten Thousand Poison Gu.

He thought, "The foundation is sufficient, and the Tribulation Treasures are fully prepared. All that’s lacking is a location to cross the tribulation." Sitting cross-legged deep within Changqing Mountain, he held a Jade Scroll, carefully flipping through the information on Tier Four Spirit Vein Masters recorded within it.

Soon, he singled out one person.

This person, named "Jia Jun," was a Tier Four Spirit Vein Master of the Purple Mist Sect. He lacked Nascent Soul Cultivation and was merely a Golden Core Peak Cultivator.

He pondered, "This person’s lifespan has exceeded five hundred years, and his end is rapidly approaching. Even if his life is extended by Life-Extending Treasures, he won’t live much longer. Dead men keep secrets best. Furthermore, this person deeply values his family and descendants, so he shouldn’t leak the information carelessly, lest his descendants suffer retaliation..."

Li Chang’an decided that this would be the man to cultivate a temporary Tier Four Spirit Vein for him.

Right at that moment, Song Yu’Er suddenly ran over to deliver the latest news.

"Senior, that missing Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Wang Family, ’Wang Songde’, has returned to the family and even brought back a massive amount of treasures!"

"Oh?" Li Chang’an immediately took the message Jade Scroll from her hands.

According to the message, the reason Wang Songde had gone missing was that he had been trapped in the Treasure Vault of an Ancient Sect. Now, he had moved the entire Treasure Vault back to the Wang Family, and the treasures within were more than enough to cultivate a large number of Celestial Pride descendants for them.

"It seems the Wang Family’s fortune should be on the rise again," Li Chang’an thought.

After enduring the disaster that nearly exterminated their clan, the Wang Family had suffered disastrous losses. Although the Wang Family Ancestor, Wang Yannian, had returned to the Nascent Soul Realm, his strength was no longer what it was at his peak. He could only barely maintain the Wang Family’s status as a Nascent Soul Influence. During the previous scramble for the Qi Fortune Divine Altar, the other seven Nascent Soul Influences had all dispatched personnel; the Wang Family was the only exception.
