Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Ten Thousand Year Jade.

A special sealing Treasure.

Li Chang’an had only ever seen it in ancient texts before.

Once the jade’s seal was formed, it required an extremely long time to break. The "ten thousand years" was just a figurative term; it could very well take hundreds of thousands or even millions of years!

To open it prematurely, one would have to find a special unsealing Treasure.

Li Chang’an didn’t have such an unsealing Treasure.

Because of this, he could only stare at it helplessly now.

After several attempts, he had no choice but to give up.

’So be it. Perhaps the time isn’t right.’

Li Chang’an shook his head slightly and tossed it back into his Storage Pouch.

He took out the Venerable Soul Banner and released Wu Zhe’s soul from within.

"Daoist Wu, I have a few things to ask you."

"You’re... Li Chang’an from Changqing Mountain?"

Wu Zhe recognized Li Chang’an quickly.

He was active in the Southern Domain year-round and was familiar with all its Golden Core Cultivators.

"So, the so-called Lin Fan was just a fake identity. No wonder you could achieve Core Formation with the talent of a Low Grade Spirit Root. Everyone thought you’d obtained some great fortuitous encounter, but no one imagined you were a person from ancient times!"

"Daoist Wu, you are mistaken. I am not a person from ancient times."

"What?"

A look of astonishment crossed Wu Zhe’s face.

Li Chang’an said indifferently, "Things have already come to this. Why would I need to lie to you?"

"But... but you..."

Wu Zhe found it hard to accept. He had actually suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of a modern-day Loose Cultivator.

Li Chang’an asked him, "Daoist Wu, have you still not figured it all out?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

Gu Yunqi’s soul immediately flew out of the Venerable Soul Banner.

His gaze turned cold as he stared at Wu Zhe and bellowed.

"Wu Zhe! To think you’ve also fallen into Li Chang’an’s hands. If it had been a fair fight that day, I would have definitely killed both you and your sister!"

"It’s you, Gu Yunqi! Didn’t you die at my hands? Why are you in..."

Wu Zhe suddenly froze.

In that instant, past events flashed rapidly through his mind.

He slowly raised his head, looked at Li Chang’an’s face, and finally understood everything.

"Li Fan! You’re Li Fan!"

He trembled all over as he roared hoarsely.

"You’re a Tier Four Divination Grandmaster! My battle with Gu Yunqi wasn’t a coincidence. It was clearly arranged by you!"

"You’ve finally figured it out."

Li Chang’an raised a hand and recalled Gu Yunqi’s soul.

"Daoist Wu, Gu Yunqi was right. His Yellow Sand Spirit Body has extremely strong recovery. If it had been a fair fight that day, I’m afraid both you and your sister would have died at his hands."

"You..."

Wu Zhe stared fixedly at Li Chang’an, his eyes filled with both hatred and resentment.

Killing Gu Yunqi had been the most glorious moment of his life.

At the time, Tang Taixian had warned him that he might have been plotted against by an outsider, but he hadn’t believed it at all.

Instead, he had been smug, believing himself to be no weaker than a top Celestial Pride who possessed a Spirit Body.

Thinking back on it now, he had been truly ridiculous back then.

He had been like a marionette, with everything under Li Chang’an’s control. From beginning to end, he had been nothing more than a tool.

"Li Chang’an, since you’re so powerful, why didn’t you kill me sooner?"

Wu Zhe found all of this difficult to accept and demanded loudly.

Li Chang’an said calmly, "Fighting and killing is not my wish. I only want to pursue my cultivation in peace. The reason I killed you this time was because I was missing a Purple Heart Stone to set up a Tier Four Array, which you happened to have."

"What? You... you’re also a Tier Four Array Master?"

"That’s right."

To Wu Zhe, who was now just a soul, Li Chang’an had no need to hide anything.

After receiving his affirmative reply, Wu Zhe froze as if struck by lightning, remaining speechless for a long time.

After a long while, he collapsed to the ground. A look of dejection washed over his face, and his back was no longer as straight and proud as before.

"For a Golden Core Cultivator to possess a single Tier Four Skill is enough to be considered a peerless Celestial Pride, yet you actually possess two..."

Before this, he still felt some resentment.

But now, he was completely resigned to his defeat.

Forget him; any Demonic Celestial Pride would be toyed with to death if they faced Li Chang’an.

"Li Chang’an, your comprehension is perhaps unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms Cultivation Immortality Realm. I’m afraid it might even be comparable to Mo Qingkuang from ten thousand years ago. I have no complaints about losing this battle."

Wu Zhe sighed deeply, his words filled with a sense of helplessness.

"Ask whatever you want. I won’t hide anything."

"Good."

Li Chang’an immediately took out the Purple Heart Stone and asked about its origin.

Wu Zhe told him the truth.

He had obtained this Purple Heart Stone from Teng Ying.

The reason Teng Ying had it was because he had subdued Wei Renjie, the Saint Child of the Purple Mist Sect.

’Just as I thought.’

This matter was more or less as Li Chang’an had guessed.

As the Saint Child of the Purple Mist Sect, Wei Renjie was qualified to trade for a Purple Heart Stone, as long as he explained its intended use.

Next, he asked about the Tier Four Blood Corpses.

"Daoist Wu, is there a way to counter the Tier Four Blood Corpses?"

"I don’t know."

Wu Zhe explained that the Netherworld Blood Corpses were a core secret of the Yellow Springs Sect.

He was just the Saint Child of the Nether Soul Sect; how could he possibly know?

He also didn’t know the specific number of Blood Corpses or where they were being raised.

Li Chang’an had no choice but to ask a different question.

"What are the hidden reserves of your Nether Soul Sect? How many deployable Tier Four Powers do you have?"

"I only know that the number of Tier Four Main Souls nurtured within the Sect has already surpassed fifteen. Each one can match a Nascent Soul in battle. As for other hidden reserves, I don’t know."

’Fifteen...’

Li Chang’an was secretly alarmed.

If that many Main Souls swarmed them at once, it would be enough to kill the Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the major Righteous Influences in a short amount of time.

Black Tortoise True Monarch was killed by being surrounded by more than ten Tier Four Blood Corpses.

Those Blood Corpses weren’t so bad, since they could only exist for a few short days, but the Tier Four Main Souls could fight for extended periods.

In addition, Wu Zhe also revealed that the number of Tier Four Poisonous Insects raised by the Five Poisons Valley should exceed ten.

The number of Tier Four White Bone Demon Gods nurtured by the White Bone Sect was also no less than ten, and they too could fight for extended periods.

The reason he knew all this was because he had killed Gu Yunqi, earning him the favor of the various Nascent Soul Old Demons and granting him authority far beyond that of an ordinary Demon Sect Saint Child.

But what he knew was only a fraction of the truth; the Demon Sects surely had more trump cards.

’The Demonic Dao actually has so many Tier Four Powers.’

Li Chang’an’s brows furrowed tightly.

In this war, the Righteous Dao had no way to fight back. Defeat was only a matter of time.
