Eternal Life by Daily Divination

"This senior likely wasn’t at the Divinity Transformation stage while alive, but they couldn’t have been far from it..."

None of them acted rashly, opting to discuss among themselves instead. As for the two Jade Scrolls, everyone agreed they were likely the legacy left behind by this person.

"It’s highly likely to be a Tier Four Alchemy Dao legacy."

An Alchemy Dao legacy of this tier had never appeared in the Southern Domain Land before. Naturally, they all wanted to obtain it. Even if they weren’t Pill Masters themselves, they could exchange a Tier Four legacy for quite a few treasures.

However, the members of the Purple Mist Sect were still present. Barring any accidents, this legacy would most likely be taken by them.

Yet, it wasn’t long before an accident did occur.

"BOOM!"

The puppet controlled by Zi Yun exploded into pieces the moment it entered the Alchemy Room, becoming a pile of shattered parts on the ground.

Her expression changed slightly as she deployed a second puppet. But this puppet shared the exact same fate. After just a few breaths, it also shattered, completely unable to advance deeper into the Alchemy Room.

"Daoist Zi, what’s going on?"

"It’s the spiritual pressure," Zi Yun said slowly. "There’s residual spiritual pressure lingering on that corpse, preventing my puppets from getting close."

"Spiritual pressure?"

The crowd exchanged glances. Their previous guess was correct. To be able to retain a portion of their spiritual pressure even after death meant that, even if this person wasn’t a Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch, they couldn’t have been far off.

Next, Zi Yun released a Tier Three Spirit Beast. The Spirit Beast wore a solemn expression as it stepped into the Alchemy Room. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, it slowly advanced, soon surpassing the spot where the two puppets had exploded.

After that, its steps became increasingly heavy and its breathing grew more rapid, as if a massive mountain was pressing down on its back. The deeper it went, the slower it became.

In the end, it was trembling all over, its bones and carapace emitting soft cracking sounds under the strain. It had no choice but to stop a hundred zhang away from the corpse.

"Master, this is my limit. If I go any further, I fear I’ll be crushed to death."

"You’ve worked hard, come back." Zi Yun took out a recovery Spirit Medicine and waved the beast over.

The result of this attempt gave everyone a bad premonition. This Tier Three Demon Beast’s Cultivation had already reached the Tier Three Late Stage, and its Physique was exceptionally formidable—comparable to a Human Race Body Refining Cultivator at the same stage. Its Demon Techniques were equally impressive.

Yet even it couldn’t get within a hundred zhang. Among those present, there probably wasn’t a single person capable of obtaining that legacy!

"The spiritual pressure a hundred zhang away is already this astonishing."

"What would it be like within a hundred zhang? Could it be that only a Nascent Soul True Monarch could withstand it?"

"If one had a Tier Four Card, there might be a chance..."

Soon, everyone’s gaze gathered on Zi Xi. She naturally had quite a few Tier Four Cards in her possession, but she didn’t use them directly. Instead, she addressed the crowd, "Everyone, please give it a try. If you can take the legacy, by all means, do so. I won’t stop you."

"Thank you, Saintess!"

The many Golden Core Cultivators of the Southern Domain expressed their thanks in unison. They all knew this was an opportunity gifted to them by Zi Xi.

Next, Gu Qinghong, Xiong Yan, He Xiangfeng, and the others took action one after another. They utilized a wide variety of methods, each displaying their unique skills in an attempt to retrieve the legacy.

However, in the face of that formidable spiritual pressure, all of their methods seemed utterly powerless.

Gu Qinghong, whose Cultivation had reached the Golden Core Peak, utilized several Quasi-Tier Four Sect’s Treasures and a large number of one-time treasures, yet he could only barely reach the ninety-zhang mark.

"Forget it. This legacy is not destined for my Cyan Cloud Sect." He sighed deeply, feeling somewhat regretful as he was forced to withdraw.

The other Southern Domain Golden Core Cultivators were equally disappointed. The Purple Mist Sect had given them a chance, but they couldn’t seize it and could only watch helplessly as the opportunity slipped away.

Following them, Wu Shuo and Zi Xi’s other Honored Guest Elders also took their turns. Although they possessed many treasures, the final result was much the same as the Southern Domain group. The strongest among them, just like Gu Qinghong, barely managed to reach the ninety-zhang area and couldn’t advance even a single step further.

Upon returning, this person said to Zi Xi, "Saintess, the spiritual pressure within ninety zhang is truly astonishing. I doubt even a Tier Four Card will work. It would be better to invite Zi Xia True Monarch here."

"No. Master has already gone to the Northern Domain and is currently dealing with the Nascent Souls of the Demon Sect. We cannot distract her." Zi Xi shook her head slightly, opting not to contact Zi Xia True Monarch.

A moment later, she slowly walked forward and entered the Alchemy Room. Everyone stayed quiet, wanting to see how far she could go.

Soon, Zi Xi stepped within the hundred-zhang range without using a single treasure. A few breaths later, she successfully reached the ninety-zhang mark. The spiritual pressure at this location didn’t seem entirely unbearable to her yet.

Still without relying on any treasures, she slowly advanced to the eighty-zhang area.

"As expected of the Purple Mist Sect’s Saintess."

Everyone couldn’t help but sigh in admiration, gaining a clear understanding of the disparity in their strengths.

Upon reaching seventy-five zhang, Zi Xi began to utilize Magic and treasures to continue forward, arriving near the sixty-zhang mark. By this point, the spiritual pressure had grown indescribably strong.

Even she couldn’t take another step forward. She was forced to use a Tier Four Talisman, employing Tier Four Power to resist the spiritual pressure.

However, she had only taken two steps before the Talisman Power was completely exhausted.

Zi Xi didn’t use any other Tier Four Cards. She floated backward, retreating outside the Alchemy Room in the blink of an eye.

Zi Yun asked out of concern, "Sister, are you alright?"

"I’m fine."

"If you kept using Tier Four Cards, could you make it to that senior’s corpse?"

"I probably could." Zi Xi’s eyes looked ethereal as she stared at the senior’s corpse.

The reason she had stopped advancing was that the Talisman Power was being consumed far too rapidly. According to her estimation, the deeper she went, the faster the Tier Four Power would be depleted.
