Eternal Life by Daily Divination

「A few days later.」

He suddenly received a Jade Scroll.

Extending his Divine Sense into it, he heard the apologetic words of the Vermilion Bird Sect’s Saint Child, Mu Chen.

"Daoist Li, I am truly sorry."

"I was previously unaware of the truth behind the matter with Xue Qiansi, but I recently learned about it from Hongyu."

His tone was so sincere that it seemed impossible to be fake.

This took Li Chang’an by surprise.

’Could I be overthinking this?’

’Is it possible that this is all just a misunderstanding?’

He held the Jade Scroll and continued listening.

At the end of the message, Mu Chen said that to express his apology, he had arranged a banquet in White Cloud Immortal City, located in the Central Domain of Zhao Country.

The feast would be prepared by a Quasi-Tier Four Spiritual Chef.

The gesture was full of sincerity.

The Jade Scroll included the location of the Immortal City.

"White Cloud Immortal City..."

Li Chang’an was lost in thought.

He was no stranger to White Cloud Immortal City or the Quasi-Tier Four Spiritual Chef Mu Chen had mentioned.

Over the years, he had often used his various avatars to trade for Treasures across the five domains of Zhao Country and had dealings with White Cloud Immortal City before.

The Immortal City was a Golden Core Influence subordinate to the Purple Mist Sect.

Mu Chen had likely chosen this location to put Li Chang’an at ease.

After all, everyone knew by now that Li Chang’an had close ties with the Purple Mist Sect.

’Is this Mu Chen really just trying to apologize?’

After a moment of contemplation, he shattered the Jade Scroll.

Although Mu Chen’s words sounded sincere, Li Chang’an trusted his own judgment.

’There’s definitely something wrong with this!’

’I should see what the Divination says.’

Li Chang’an did not go to the banquet. He continued his Cultivation and waited for the Divination to appear.

「That night at Midnight.」

A golden light appeared as usual.

[Divination Has Been Refreshed]

[Today’s Divination: Ominous]

[You attend the banquet in White Cloud Immortal City, where you are ambushed by Gu Yunqi, Cui Baihong, Mu Chen, and many other Holy Sons and Saintesses. You ultimately fight your way out, but you are forced to reveal many of your techniques.]

Seeing the content of the Divination, Li Chang’an’s eyelid twitched.

’It’s a good thing I didn’t go!’

This seemingly sincere banquet was nothing but a trap.

To deceive Li Chang’an, Mu Chen had deliberately chosen White Cloud Immortal City, a subordinate Immortal City of the Purple Mist Sect.

’No wonder I kept feeling that something was off. He’s actually colluding with Gu Yunqi.’

The Vermilion Bird Sect had long been enemies with the Yellow Sand Sect and the White Tiger Sect, warring with them for many years.

For Mu Chen, the Saint Child of the Vermilion Bird Sect, to collude with the Saint Children of enemy Sects was audacious to the extreme.

If the Vermilion Bird Sect ever found out, Mu Chen would surely be severely punished.

Moreover, Gu Yunqi and the others were also incredibly bold.

To deal with Li Chang’an, they had actually dared to enter territory under the Purple Mist Sect’s jurisdiction.

’The Qin Hong I control knows nothing of this. It seems Gu Yunqi doesn’t fully trust him. It’s a good thing I have the Earth Cloud Yellow Sand Pill...’

Li Chang’an stared at the name "Gu Yunqi" in the Divination and pondered to himself.

Just as he was thinking, Jiang Muyu suddenly rushed over.

"Sir, something major has happened!"

"How major? Surely a Nascent Soul True Monarch hasn’t fallen, has one?" Li Chang’an asked with a smile.

Jiang Muyu’s expression was dead serious as she nodded.

"Something close!"

"Oh?"

Li Chang’an’s interest was piqued, and he temporarily set aside the matter of Gu Yunqi.

"What is it?"

"Sir, just a moment ago, my father joined forces with three other Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the Great Qi. At the border between Great Qi and the Wang Family’s territory, they slew a Tier Four Demon Monarch from the Wang Family."

"A Tier Four Demon Monarch?"

Li Chang’an was inwardly surprised.

A Tier Four Demon Beast’s power was comparable to a Human Race Cultivator at the Nascent Soul True Monarch level.

The fall of a Tier Four Demon Beast would indeed cause shockwaves nearly equivalent to the death of a Nascent Soul expert.

’I didn’t expect an expert of this level to perish just as the curtains are rising on this chaotic era.’

Li Chang’an looked to the north and, with a quick calculation, immediately saw a vision of endless bloodshed.

The Wang Family would definitely not take this lying down.

Next, the immortal war between Great Qi and the Wang Family would become even more frenzied.

’Strange. Logically, the Wang Family’s Tier Four Demon Monarch shouldn’t have been so easy to kill.’

Li Chang’an suddenly frowned, having divined a hint of strangeness in the matter.

The Wang Family was not weak. Before this, they had two Nascent Soul True Monarchs and one Tier Four Demon Monarch, equivalent to three Nascent Soul level powers.

Although Great Qi had four Nascent Soul experts, two of them were merely Fake Souls who relied on faith.

As soon as these faith-based Fake Souls left the territory of the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty, their power would drop.

The farther they traveled, the weaker they became, eventually falling to the level of Golden Core Peak Cultivation.

All things considered, the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty’s actual offensive power was slightly weaker. Only the current Emperor and Jiang Xuanyuan could attack externally, while the other two could only defend their territory.

As long as the Wang Family wasn’t completely foolish, they wouldn’t have let their Tier Four Demon Monarch charge into the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty’s territory alone.

’Could it be that some Demonic cultivators are pushing this from behind the scenes?’

Li Chang’an faintly perceived a few clues.

Of course, he couldn’t be certain.

In this chaotic era, the workings of fate were muddled, and many things could not be seen clearly.

Even as a Tier Four Divination Grandmaster, he could only protect himself; he lacked the power to divine the course of the future.

"Muyu, tell Elder Jiang to not only be wary of the Wang Family’s retaliation but also to guard against sneak attacks from Demonic Nascent Soul cultivators," Li Chang’an said with a solemn expression, instructing Jiang Muyu.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Jiang Muyu immediately relayed his exact words to Jiang Xuanyuan.

「The next few days.」

News of the Wang Family’s Tier Four Demon Monarch being slain spread throughout the Three Kingdoms Cultivation Immortality Realm.

The news was so shocking that the struggles between the major Nascent Soul Influences temporarily came to a halt.

In the past, although everyone fought fiercely, never before had an expert of the Nascent Soul Level fallen.

This time, the death of the Tier Four Demon Monarch filled many with a sense of unease.

It wasn’t just the low-level Cultivators; even high-level experts like Golden Core Masters felt their minds unsettled, vaguely seeing a bloodier future on the horizon.
