Eternal Life by Daily Divination

One could master Tier Two Top Grade Array Skills by sleeping in a coffin for a single night.

It was practically a fairy tale!

If word of this got out,

people would just think Li Chang’an had gone mad.

Yet the truth was laid out right before his eyes, written with perfect clarity in the Divination.

’Cultivation Immortality Techniques, especially skills like Pills, Talismans, Artifacts, and Arrays, have extremely high requirements for talent. Many Cultivators practice for decades just to reach Tier Two.’

Li Chang’an stared at the Divination’s message, lost in thought.

Even a genius couldn’t possibly master a Tier Two Skill overnight.

He was considered a peerless genius in the way of Divination, yet it had still taken him three whole years to master Tier Two Divination.

’Mastering it in a single night... could it be... the legendary overnight enlightenment?’

Li Chang’an recalled some of the rumors he had heard.

According to legend,

someone once achieved enlightenment overnight, gaining unimaginable power in a single night.

There were also tales of those who understood the Dao in the morning and entered it by evening—a mortal at dawn who became a peerless master by dusk!

These legends were too bizarre, and almost no one had ever witnessed them firsthand. In the current Cultivation Immortality Realm, the vast majority of Cultivators advanced one step at a time.

’I never thought something like this would happen to me.’

Li Chang’an immediately got up, left Changqing Mountain, and rushed to the Black Market overnight.

The key to this matter

lay with the coffin mentioned in the Divination.

He had to get there quickly before someone else bought it.

...

「About two hours later.」

Li Chang’an arrived at the Black Market without a hitch.

Using his Pupil of Truth, his gaze profound, he scanned the stalls one by one.

This Treasure Hunt was remarkably easy, simply because the coffin was too conspicuous. It was sitting not far away, measuring over ten feet in length.

It was the only coffin in the entire Black Market.

Li Chang’an walked over.

He examined the coffin closely, secretly using a trace of his Foundation Establishment Magical Power to investigate it.

But to his surprise, the coffin felt completely unremarkable, yet he couldn’t identify what kind of Treasure the wood it was made from was.

"Fellow cultivator, where did you get this coffin?"

Li Chang’an asked the stall owner earnestly.

The stall owner laughed. "Fellow cultivator, you have a good eye! You’ve spotted the most valuable Treasure at my stall with a single glance!"

"This thing doesn’t even have a trace of Magical Power fluctuation. How can it be the most valuable?"

"That may be true, but what if there’s an Ancient Treasure sealed inside the coffin?"

The stall owner gave a sly laugh, not at all embarrassed as he enthusiastically hyped his product.

This coffin

was something he had dug up from a strange area within the Blood Stone Secret Realm.

That area was filled with skeletons, layered one on top of another, and saturated with an aura of deathly silence.

Besides the skeletons, there was almost nothing else to be seen.

The deeper one dug,

the more skeletons there were.

Many Cultivators had gone there to excavate in the past, trying to dig up other Treasures, but they all eventually left looking dejected.

It seemed as if the entire land was composed of countless skeletons.

But the stall owner’s luck was good.

"Fellow cultivator, I’m a stubborn man. Even though I didn’t find any Treasure at first, I kept digging down. I dug thousands of feet deep and finally, amidst the endless skeletons, I discovered this coffin!"

’Thousands of feet...’

Li Chang’an was left speechless.

If what the man said was true, then he was indeed stubborn.

At the same time,

Li Chang’an was also quite surprised.

’A land thousands of feet deep, made entirely of stacked skeletons... Just how many people died in that region?’

The stall owner said with a smile, "Fellow cultivator, think about it! In that region, all the other skeletons were left exposed in the wilderness. Only this coffin is different. It either contains the body of an important figure or has a special Treasure sealed inside!"

In other words,

this coffin could be considered a kind of Secret Realm Treasure Chest.

However, other Secret Realm Treasure Chests were mostly objects like chests, bronze vessels, or Pottery Jars.

But this thing was just too unusual.

Li Chang’an furrowed his brow, feigning hesitation.

"Fellow cultivator, name your price."

"Five thousand Spirit Stones!"

"That’s too expensive!"

Li Chang’an put on a troubled expression, as if he couldn’t afford that many Spirit Stones.

He patted the coffin and looked it over again.

"Fellow cultivator, what if there’s just an ordinary Ancient Cultivator’s corpse inside? Wouldn’t I suffer a huge loss? Make it cheaper. How about fifty Spirit Stones?"

"Fellow cultivator, you..."

The stall owner’s face stiffened. He almost thought Li Chang’an was there to cause trouble.

He took a deep breath and maintained his patience.

Next,

the two of them haggled for a while.

In the end, Li Chang’an bought the seemingly ordinary coffin for the price of one thousand two hundred Spirit Stones.

Afterward,

he found Luo Baitong to ask for news about the Withered Wood Cliff Master and learned that the man still hadn’t returned.

Luo Baitong said in a low voice, "This Beast Tide was far too terrifying. With the Withered Wood Cliff Master’s strength, it would have been very difficult to survive. He was probably devoured by countless Demon Beasts long ago."

"That’s true."

Li Chang’an sighed, no longer holding out much hope.

Now,

he could only place his hopes on the Red Leaf Valley Mu Family.

The Mu Family’s Golden Core Ancestor had fallen, leaving only a severely injured Fake Pill Cultivator struggling to support the family. Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before they were dropped from the ranks of the Seven Great Noble Families.

Once that Fake Pill Cultivator died,

Li Chang’an was confident he could obtain the Mu Family’s Heaven and Earth Spirit Root.

His current strength was immense, comparable to the top cultivators in the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment. Not even a cultivator in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment could stop him.

If he could cultivate the two spells, Cyan Wood Divine Light and Ancient Wood Divine Armor, to the stage of Great Success, and also perfectly master the spell he had developed on his own, he could absolutely go head-to-head with a cultivator in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment!

’This matter can’t be rushed. I need to plan it out carefully.’

Li Chang’an temporarily suppressed this thought.

He wandered around the Black Market for a bit and bought some Poison Dao Treasures.

Afterward, he made another trip to Yellow Crane Immortal City and bought many of the Treasures needed for the Fourth Layer of Body Refining at the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower.
