Eternal Life by Daily Divination

"The reason I want the Little Cyan Dragon Mechanical Beast is for the material its eyes are made of—two Celestial Cyan Dragon Eye Stones. They are quite beneficial for my Cultivation Technique. As for the rest of its materials, you may all dispose of them as you see fit."

As she spoke,

Li Chang’an quietly used his Divination Technique, attempting to deduce the Little Cyan Dragon Mechanical Beast’s location.

But the result of the Divination was a blur.

Clearly,

the Mechanical Beast possessed a Treasure that could obscure heavenly secrets.

Zhuo Wanshuang continued, "That Mechanical Beast is hidden beneath the lands of the Southern Domain. It has considerable intelligence and most likely uses the earth veins and the Arrays within underground ruins to protect itself."

This was precisely why

she had invited Yan Hao and Yu Tao.

Li Chang’an was also a Quasi-Tier Four Array Master, so his role overlapped with Yan Hao’s, but having an extra person couldn’t hurt.

After a brief discussion, the group boarded a Flying Ship and left Changqing Mountain, following the Treasure Hunting Disc’s guidance in search of the Little Cyan Dragon Mechanical Beast.

Before long,

they stopped not far from the Black Dragon Mountain Range.

"The Mechanical Beast is nearby."

Zhuo Wanshuang watched the needle of her Treasure Hunting Disc tremble ceaselessly and leaped down from the Flying Ship.

Li Chang’an and the others followed suit.

Soon,

the group descended deep underground.

Zhuo Wanshuang held the Treasure Hunting Disc, continuously changing their direction.

"That Little Cyan Dragon knows we’re looking for it, but it won’t escape!"

Zhuo Wanshuang smiled, full of confidence.

Chi Qingxuan and Chi Qingwu stayed by her side, guarding her closely.

About a quarter of an hour later,

they suddenly entered a vast underground world.

Before them lay a massive Stone Dragon.

The Stone Dragon was an earthen yellow color, its body covered in rippling scales. It stretched on for miles, its limbs sturdy and lifelike, as if it were the masterpiece of some great sculptor.

Its pair of Stone Eyes held a hint of life, as if it might stir at any moment.

"This is an Earth Dragon, a creature born and nurtured by the world itself. Every earth vein can potentially give birth to an Earth Dragon. If it were nourished by the world for several hundred thousand more years, it might have awakened its intelligence and soared to the heavens."

The Feng Shui Master, Yu Tao, stepped forward to observe it carefully.

They were all familiar

with Earth Dragons.

A type of Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object called Earth Dragon Saliva was known to drip from the mouths of these very creatures.

"Strange. Is something wrong with the Treasure Hunting Disc? We were clearly hunting for the Little Cyan Dragon Mechanical Beast. Why would it lead us to this Earth Dragon?"

Yan Hao looked puzzled.

He also stepped forward to observe the Earth Dragon closely.

Just then,

Yu Tao’s expression changed. He grabbed Yan Hao and yanked him back violently.

"Get back! This Earth Dragon is dead! Its life force was severed, and its lingering resentment has formed a Dead Dragon Evil Spirit!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

a draconic roar filled with resentment suddenly echoed from within the Stone Dragon.

Then, a wisp of black smoke billowed from the Stone Dragon’s eyes, coalescing into a ferocious Black Dragon.

Its eyes were filled with malice and hatred. Like a vengeful specter, it stared intently at the group, its aura clearly surpassing the Tier Three Limit.

"Suppress!"

Yu Tao formed a hand seal and barked the command.

Immediately,

streams of a peculiar power surged from all directions, weaving into a great net that tightly bound the Resentful Dragon.

’What a peculiar power.’

Li Chang’an had a faint feeling.

At that moment, Yu Tao seemed to have become a favored child of the earth, able to command its endless power.

Yu Tao explained to him, "Daoist Li, this is the Power of Earth Veins. Any Feng Shui Master can command it. The higher a Feng Shui Master’s Tier, the more power they can call upon. With my current Quasi-Tier Four Fengshui Technique, I can summon enough power to crush an ordinary Golden Core Peak Cultivator."

"I see. Thank you for the explanation, Daoist Yu."

Li Chang’an had also once received a Fengshui Technique inheritance, but it was a Low Tier one, so he hadn’t delved too deeply into the subject.

After all, practicing the Fengshui Technique required one to constantly roam mountains and rivers, whereas he preferred to stay on Changqing Mountain and cultivate in peace.

No Cultivation Immortality Technique should be underestimated.

According to Yu Tao,

if a Fengshui Technique reached Tier Four, one could battle a Nascent Soul True Monarch by relying on the Power of Earth Veins!

While they spoke,

he had already dealt with the Dead Dragon Evil Spirit.

"The Little Cyan Dragon Mechanical Beast must have deliberately severed this Earth Dragon’s life force to hinder us."

"Yes, that must be it."

The others all agreed with his speculation.

Over the next few hours,

they encountered more than ten other dead Earth Dragons, many of which had spawned Dead Dragon Evil Spirits.

Fortunately, with Yu Tao the Feng Shui Master present,

they were not held up for long.

Before long,

a Quasi-Tier Four Residual Array blocked their path.

This time, Yan Hao stepped in and easily broke the Array.

"It seems I invited the right people. I’ll be relying on you two Daoists today."

Zhuo Wanshuang said sincerely, thanking them both.

Then, she sent a private Sound Transmission to Chi Qingxuan and Chi Qingwu.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, I’ve told you before. I don’t need your protection, and you didn’t need to hire people on my behalf. I can handle this myself."

Hearing this, Chi Qingxuan and Chi Qingwu exchanged a helpless glance.

Chi Qingxuan sent a reply via Sound Transmission: "Junior Sister, that Little Cyan Dragon is very cunning. You can’t let your guard down."

"Don’t worry. You and Daoist Li can just relax and watch. There’s no need for you to intervene. That Little Cyan Dragon won’t get away!"

Zhuo Wanshuang gave a charming smile, brimming with confidence.

Holding the Treasure Hunting Disc, she led the group onward in pursuit.

Just then,

Li Chang’an suddenly noticed the Mo Family Token in his Storage Pouch was growing hot.

"Huh?"

He found this strange. He took out the Token and infused it with Magical Power, but there was no response.

He felt no connection to it whatsoever.

However,

as time passed, the Token grew hotter and hotter.

’Could there be ruins of the Ancient Mo Family nearby?’

Lost in thought, Li Chang’an carefully probed the surroundings with his Divine Sense.

Suddenly,

the deep earthen cavern they were in began to tremble violently.

VMMMM—

The trembling grew more intense, as if some monster that had slumbered for countless years was awakening in the depths of the earth.

Immediately after, the air filled with the countless, shrill sounds of mechanisms grinding into motion.

"This is bad! Everyone, be careful!"

Yu Tao shouted, drawing upon the Power of Earth Veins to protect everyone.
