Eternal Life by Daily Divination

They refused to submit to the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty’s rule and united to rebel, only to be suppressed and killed by a single Divinity Transformation decree casually tossed out by a Great Jin official. The various treacherous lands were also flattened by the dynasty. Many bizarre and eerie things were pure jokes in the face of Divinity Transformation power.

Ultimately, after the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty’s reclamation, this world lost its original barbaric aura. Almost nothing was left except the Human Race and some captive demon beasts.

He pondered, "Reclaiming the wasteland..."

Li Chang’an found that this phrase was mentioned in many ancient texts.

He thought, "To the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, this little world is indeed considered a barbaric wasteland. During the reclamation process, they discovered many treasures. Many of the alien races are treasures themselves, such as precious spiritual gold that has developed sentience, rare vegetation, unusual crystal stones, and the like..."

These stories of wasteland reclamation broadened Li Chang’an’s horizons. He read through them with great interest, spending several days immersed in the texts. Afterward, he continued browsing through other ancient texts. The remaining texts were mostly of little value, recording only fragmented, trivial matters. Li Chang’an originally thought he wouldn’t gain anything else, but not long after, he made a new discovery.

He thought, "The Three Treasures of Soul Destruction!"

Li Chang’an held an ancient jade scroll, carefully browsing its contents. The jade scroll recorded the refining methods for three treasures. These three treasures were the Soul Suppression Nail, the Trapped Soul Net, and the Forbidden Soul Bottle. Their tiers all reached Tier Four Low Grade, and they were all treasures specifically targeting Nascent Souls. Thus, they were called the Three Treasures of Soul Destruction.

A Nascent Soul True Monarch was very difficult to kill. Even if their physical body was destroyed, as long as their Nascent Soul escaped and found a suitable body to seize, they could quickly return to the Nascent Soul Realm. The escape speed of a Nascent Soul was astonishingly fast; ordinary True Monarchs couldn’t stop them at all. However, these Three Treasures of Soul Destruction all had a suppressive effect on Nascent Souls. If Li Chang’an could refine these three treasures, it would be much easier to deal with Nascent Soul enemies in the future.

He sighed inwardly, "It’s a pity I don’t have a Tier Four Artifact Refining inheritance. Relying solely on my own comprehension to break through to Tier Four will take who knows how many years."

He noted down all the materials required to refine these three treasures. Although he couldn’t use them now, it was better to be safe than sorry.

In addition to the Three Treasures of Soul Destruction, Li Chang’an also found several relatively useful ancient texts. After finishing them, he entered the depths of Fire Cloud Mountain and arrived in an isolated secret room.

The Fire Cloud Divine Lord introduced it to him, "Master, this secret room is the greatest secret of the entire Fire Cloud Secret Realm."

Inside the secret room, there were no treasures and no collections of books, only over a dozen circular arrays. The Fire Cloud Divine Lord’s lineage passed this down from generation to generation. Every Divine Lord would tell their descendants before death to guard this secret room at all costs.

"Our ancestors once said that these arrays are all teleportation arrays, capable of teleporting people to other secret realm worlds. However, before the last official of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty left, he destroyed all the arrays and instructed our ancestors to watch over them well."

"Teleportation arrays?" Li Chang’an stepped forward, standing in front of an array to observe it carefully. These arrays were indeed very similar to the teleportation array he had seen in the Vermilion Bird’s Nest. However, every array had flaws and missing parts. With Li Chang’an’s current Array Dao attainment, he couldn’t yet complete these arrays.

He thought, "Since these arrays were left by the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, they most likely lead to other secret realm worlds controlled by them. Perhaps each world is rich in cultivation resources..."

Li Chang’an slowly sat down, thinking carefully. A moment later, he gave an order to the Fire Cloud Divine Lord. "I want to investigate here for a while. Go and call all the other Golden Core cultivators over first."

"Yes!"

"By the way, when did the titles Divine Venerable, Divine King, and Divine Emperor first appear?"

"Master, these titles were changed by one of my ancestors to suppress the other cultivators, making them think that the path of cultivation only has three realms," the Fire Cloud Divine Lord answered truthfully before leaving.

...

Meanwhile, in the Celestial Wave Divine Domain.

Inside the Divine Emperor’s Mansion, a standoff was taking place.

Because Li Chang’an had delayed in defeating the Fire Cloud Divine Lord, those who had originally submitted to him were gradually wavering. Recently, over a dozen Divine Emperors planned to rebel together and reveal Li Chang’an’s existence to the Fire Cloud Divine Lord. Their leader was the Cyan Wolf Divine Emperor. His cultivation was quite impressive, having already reached the Late Stage of Golden Core, making him a High Tier Divine Emperor.

"Everyone, the Fire Cloud Divine Lord is about to achieve the Fourth Realm. How can Li Changqing compare to him? If the two were to fight, Li Changqing would undoubtedly lose!" The Cyan Wolf Divine Emperor’s voice was steady as he persuaded the crowd. "It’s not too late to turn back now. Why persist in your delusions?"

Behind him, over a dozen Divine Emperors spoke up one after another, supporting his view.

Gao Tianlan, Mu Danyang, and the others stood on the opposing side. Behind them were more than twenty Divine Emperors.

Gao Tianlan shouted, "So what if Divine Lord Changqing loses? At the very least, he showed us the scenery beyond the Third Realm! Are we going to give up a loftier path of cultivation just to cling to a miserable existence?"

"Well said! Rather than living in degradation, we might as well put up a desperate fight!" Mu Danyang responded with a cold, stern expression.

The Infinite Divine Emperor added, "It’s just death, what is there to fear?"

Those who had originally followed Li Chang’an remained firm in their stance. However, most of the Divine Emperors behind them were somewhat swayed. Many of these Divine Emperors had been forced to submit to Li Chang’an out of fear of death in the first place.

Right at this moment, a streak of fire suddenly descended from the sky, forcibly breaking through the array and landing inside the Divine Emperor’s Mansion.

It was none other than the Fire Cloud Divine Lord!

Seeing him, everyone’s expressions drastically changed. None of them had expected the Fire Cloud Divine Lord to descend here.
