Eternal Life by Daily Divination

"Why hasn’t Daoist Li woken up yet?"

Mu Hongyu’s fine brows furrowed, her tone filled with anxiety.

When the Illusion struck, all three of them had fallen for it.

Her Divine Sense was very strong, and having experienced this kind of Illusion before, she was the first to wake up.

Ning Mengwei also woke up quickly, not lingering in the Illusion for too long.

But Li Chang’an was taking a long time to awaken.

He stood on the spot, his eyes lightly closed, his body swaying slightly as if he were sleepwalking.

In a place as fraught with danger as the Vermilion Bird’s Nest, such a state could easily lead to mortal peril.

"Junior Sister Ning, keep an eye on our surroundings. I can sense the auras of several Demon Beasts. We absolutely cannot let them get near Daoist Li."

Mu Hongyu’s tone was grave as she deployed several Magical Treasures to protect Li Chang’an.

Just then, Li Chang’an opened his eyes, breaking free from the Illusion.

The Illusion here was quite peculiar. Although false, it had a faint, almost imperceptible sense of reality, making him feel as if he had truly become a Nascent Soul True Monarch and a Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch.

’If not for that, I wouldn’t have stayed to experience it for a few extra moments.’

"Thank you, my two fellow Daoists."

Li Chang’an cupped his hands in thanks.

Mu Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief and retracted her Magical Treasures.

"It’s good that you’ve woken up, Daoist Li."

After this incident, both she and Ning Mengwei were convinced that Li Chang’an’s Divine Sense was indeed not very strong.

Furthermore, his Guardian Divine Sense Treasure was useless against the Illusions in this place.

Mu Hongyu reminded him, "Daoist Li, your Divine Sense Treasure is likely only effective against Secret Techniques that actively attack one’s Divine Sense."

Li Chang’an nodded. "That’s right."

"You must not stray far from the two of us, or I fear you’ll be in mortal danger."

Mu Hongyu’s voice was filled with concern.

Li Chang’an was her savior. She couldn’t let anything happen to him on her home turf.

On the path ahead, Mu Hongyu protected Li Chang’an exceptionally well.

Ning Mengwei was also aware of the situation and looked after Li Chang’an just as carefully.

Under their protection, Li Chang’an encountered almost no danger.

Along the way, they ran into Tier Three Demon Beasts several times.

Before Li Chang’an could even make a move, the two women had already dealt with the Demon Beasts.

Before long, Li Chang’an neared the location of the Ancient Wood Cave Mansion that he sensed.

The four keys in his possession began to grow warm, spontaneously absorbing his Evergreen Magical Power and making his perception increasingly clear.

「About a quarter of an hour later.」

Li Chang’an finally arrived at the place he had sensed.

To his confusion, there was no cave mansion before him, only a long, continuous passage.

Both sides of the passage were lined with crimson Spirit Wood.

There was no sign of a cave entrance.

Mu Hongyu explained, "Daoist Li, if we walk forward for about another quarter of an hour, we’ll reach the Land of Trial. After my junior sister finishes her trial, we can help you search for what you came here for."

"Alright. I’ll have to trouble you both, then."

Li Chang’an suppressed his doubts and continued deeper with the two women.

However, they had only taken a few steps when the Spirit Wood on one side of the passage suddenly erupted with a Spiritual Light, instantly engulfing Li Chang’an.

A moment later, Li Chang’an vanished from where he stood.

Before he disappeared, he only had time to leave a short message.

"Fellow Daoists, no need to worry..."

Li Chang’an knew in his heart that this sudden change was most likely caused by the four Cave Mansion Keys.

As expected, in the blink of an eye, he found himself in a separate space.

Before him was a large, ancient, and heavy door.

On the front of the door were four keyholes, perfectly corresponding to the four keys.

’This must be the Ancient Wood Cave Mansion.’

A thought stirred in Li Chang’an’s mind, and he took out the four keys he carried.

At this moment, the four keys were scalding hot.

He channeled his Evergreen Magical Power, wrapped it around one of the keys, and inserted it into the first keyhole on the door.

A soft CLICK was heard.

The key fit the hole perfectly!

The entire door trembled slightly, as if it were about to open, but it quickly fell still again.

Seeing this, Li Chang’an no longer hesitated.

He inserted the other three keys into the remaining three keyholes one by one.

After three more soft clicks, the door’s trembling grew more intense.

WHIRR—

The entire door slowly rose, and an ancient aura, heavy with the passage of time, washed over him.

What appeared before Li Chang’an was a small, secluded chamber.

In the very center of the chamber was a wooden table.

On the wooden table lay a single, pristine white Jade Scroll.

There was nothing else.

’The continuation of the Cultivation Technique should be inside this Jade Scroll.’

Li Chang’an’s eyes brightened as he stared at the Jade Scroll.

At this moment, even with his disposition, he found it difficult to remain calm.

After breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, he had almost never rested.

He had toiled for decades to find the continuation of the Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique, and today was finally the day.

"Huuu..."

Li Chang’an took several deep breaths, suppressing the various emotions swirling within him and trying his best to remain calm.

He did not let his guard down. His true body remained outside the Cave Mansion, while he sent a Blood-Dripping Incarnation inside.

After a moment, he arrived at the wooden table, slowly picked up the Jade Scroll, and extended his Divine Sense into it.

The next instant, four words appeared in his perception.

Ancient Wood Evergreen Technique!

Seeing these four words, Li Chang’an’s whole body relaxed; the weight on his mind was finally lifted.

’I finally got it!’

He immediately sat down cross-legged and began to carefully browse its contents.

The opening of the Cultivation Technique was the Nascent Soul Scroll he so desperately sought!

It recorded the Magic Gate and various important notes required to break through from the Golden Core Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm.

’By practicing this technique, as long as nothing goes wrong, the quality of my Nascent Soul will far surpass that of an ordinary one, reaching a perfect quality.’

Reading the description, the smile on Li Chang’an’s face grew wider and wider.

Soon, he came to the Divinity Transformation Scroll.

According to the Cultivation Technique’s records, cultivating in the Divinity Transformation Realm was exceptionally difficult. One had to achieve Five Elements Unification, or they would be unable to advance to the Void Refining Realm.
