Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Because of the outsider, Li Chang’an, she had obtained far less Cyan Wood Dew than Jiang Muyu in this trial—only just over three hundred drops.

Qi Yuan fared even worse; his Jade Bottle held only a little over two hundred drops.

Though they hadn’t reached the final area in time, they had all heard the statue’s voice and knew exactly how much Cyan Wood Dew Jiang Muyu had received.

’I miscalculated this time.’

Qi Jingyun retracted her gaze, an imperceptible trace of killing intent flashing in the depths of her eyes.

Soon, the Cyan Wood Dew belonging to the two of them also vanished.

That icy voice rang out once more.

"You, three hours."

"You, two hours."

There wasn’t the slightest praise, not even a word of criticism. It was utterly cold and emotionless.

The two of them had expected this.

Compared to Jiang Muyu’s sterling example, the two of them looked like complete failures.

But they were all aware that the best performer this time wasn’t Jiang Muyu, but Li Chang’an.

However, Li Chang’an did not possess the bloodline of the Great Qi Royal Family, so the Cyan Wood Dew was useless to him.

At this thought, Qi Yuan felt a little better.

’So what if you performed well, Li Chang’an? You won’t get a reward anyway. You just came here for nothing!’

The moment that thought crossed his mind, the colossal statue’s voice rang out again.

"Li Chang’an, your performance was outstanding. You shall receive an alternative blessing!"

Hearing this, the expression on Qi Yuan’s face instantly froze.

The other three were also deeply shaken.

For thirty thousand years, although many outsiders had entered the Cyan Wood Divine Pagoda, the bloodline requirement meant they could never receive the ancestor’s blessing, no matter how much Cyan Wood Dew they collected.

But today, Li Chang’an had shattered this thirty-thousand-year-old bloodline restriction!

HUMMM—

The entire Cyan Wood Divine Pagoda trembled lightly.

Immediately after, on the Treasure Pagoda’s fourth layer, within the Poisonous Domain, a drop of Red Gold Blood suddenly flew out from beneath the earth where Li Chang’an had discovered the Phoenix Blood Grass.

This drop of blood, carrying a scorching aura, transformed into a streak of golden light that instantly arrived on the Fifth Layer and flew into Li Chang’an’s body.

In an instant, Li Chang’an felt his entire body become searing hot, as if he were immersed in an endless inferno, every drop of his blood on the verge of boiling.

His Path of Body Refining had originally been at the Tier Three Fourth Layer.

But in a mere moment, he broke through to the Fifth Layer.

And that wasn’t all.

In the blink of an eye, he broke through again to the Sixth Layer.

The scorching sensation didn’t begin to slowly recede until he reached the Sixth Layer Peak.

’This... this feeling...’

Li Chang’an was thrilled to discover that the improvement to his physique wasn’t just a simple breakthrough in his realm.

At this moment, although his Physique Realm was at the Sixth Layer, it had already far surpassed the description of the Sixth Layer in his Cultivation Technique, faintly approaching the Ninth Layer!

It was enough to withstand the attacks of a cultivator at the Late Stage of Golden Core.

’It wasn’t just my realm that improved. Something else was enhanced, allowing me to fight across tiers even on the Path of Body Refining.’

Logically speaking, the possibility of fighting across tiers was almost nonexistent on the Path of Body Refining.

Yet, the current Li Chang’an had shattered this understanding. His body seemed to have faintly transcended the limits of the Human Race.

For the time being, he couldn’t figure out precisely which aspect had received the extra enhancement.

Regardless, this was a good thing.

"Thank you, Senior!"

With a sincere expression, Li Chang’an bowed deeply to the statue.

After he bowed, a massive force washed over them, sending all five out of the Cyan Wood Treasure Pagoda.

With that, the trial was over!

"Qi Jingyun!"

Qi Lingshuang shouted coldly, her Magical Power erupting around her. Without a moment’s hesitation, she charged toward Qi Jingyun and Qi Yuan.

Jiang Muyu also summoned her Magical Treasure and moved forward to help.

The four of them instantly engaged in a chaotic battle.

There wasn’t a huge difference in their strength. Barring any surprises, it would be difficult to determine a winner even after fighting for an hour.

However, Li Chang’an was still standing off to the side.

Qi Jingyun and Qi Yuan had to divert their attention to guard against Li Chang’an, causing them to fall to a disadvantage.

Just then, a gentle voice sounded.

"Alright, you are all Celestial Prides of my Great Qi. Why must you fight amongst yourselves?"

As soon as the words fell, a gentle force descended from the sky, separating the four of them.

Following that, a Puppet with an extraordinary air appeared before everyone.

Seeing this Puppet, Qi Lingshuang and the other three all stopped fighting and bowed to it.

"Greetings, Emperor!"

This Puppet was precisely the avatar that the Emperor of Great Qi, Qi Jiuyang, had left behind in the Imperial City.

Li Chang’an also bowed.

"Greetings, Senior."

"Li, you are truly worthy of being a Celestial Pride who achieved Core Formation with a Low Grade Spirit Root. Truly extraordinary, to be able to make the ancestral statue make an exception for you!"

Qi Jiuyang had a warm expression as he helped Li Chang’an up.

A golden light flashed in his hand, and a golden Token appeared.

"From this day forward, Li shall be a Golden Core Honored Guest Elder of my Great Qi. You will enjoy all the rights of an Honored Guest, without having to bear any of an Honored Guest’s responsibilities."

As he spoke, the golden Token flew before Li Chang’an.

This Emperor of Great Qi seemed to know Li Chang’an quite well, stating in advance that he wouldn’t have to bear any responsibilities.

Since he had made such a declaration, Li Chang’an naturally couldn’t refuse.

"Thank you, Senior!"

"Li, if you ever grow tired of cultivating on Changqing Mountain, you can come to my Great Qi at any time and take up an official post."

Qi Jiuyang said with a smile.

Afterward, he also offered a few words of encouragement to the other four.

In the presence of the Emperor of Great Qi, the four of them naturally could not continue fighting and could only go their separate ways.

「For the next few days.」

Li Chang’an didn’t return but instead stayed in Prince Profound’s Mansion to investigate the changes in his body.

He faintly sensed that the power of the Red Gold Blood had not been completely depleted. A significant amount of it remained hidden throughout his body, slowly enhancing his physique.

「On this day.」

He controlled a Tier Three Top Grade Puppet to attack him.

After a barrage of fierce attacks, he was completely unharmed, with only a few white marks left on his skin.

’Not bad. The gains from this trip were quite substantial.’
