Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Song Yu’Er was overjoyed, her eyes curving into crescents, and a smile never left her lips.

That evening.

After sending off the guests from the various powers, she happily ran to Li Chang’an’s cave abode.

"Senior, I feel like my current state is very special. Do you want to try again?"

"Mm, let’s give it a try."

Li Chang’an nodded slightly.

It had been less than a year since he last came into contact with the silver-white symbol. Logically, the interval wasn’t long enough.

But Song Yu’Er was in a special state right now. She had just broken through, and her state of mind had undergone a huge change. Perhaps that symbol would have changed as well.

Li Chang’an immediately used the Divine Splitting Technique, controlling several hundred strands of Divine Sense to enter Song Yu’Er’s Sea of Consciousness.

Song Yu’Er blinked and sent a thought to the depths of her Sea of Consciousness.

"To the one in the depths of my Sea of Consciousness, no matter who you are, you have to cooperate with Senior. Don’t let Senior down."

She did her utmost, continuously sending her thoughts.

A moment later, Li Chang’an’s Divine Sense approached the silver-white symbol.

Based on past experience, this symbol would immediately dodge, not giving him the slightest chance.

But this time, the symbol actually remained in place.

Li Chang’an was slightly pleased and continued to move his Divine Sense closer, successfully forming a cage of Divine Sense.

Immediately after, he made the cage slowly contract.

The instant they made contact, the symbol trembled as usual, but it didn’t immediately rush out.

This time, it stayed for a longer period.

The insights that flooded Li Chang’an’s mind multiplied severalfold before the symbol finally transformed into a silver light and broke through his cage of Divine Sense.

’The contact time is longer now.’

Li Chang’an smiled.

If this continued, sooner or later, the symbol would no longer flee and would let him touch it indefinitely.

Song Yu’Er lifted her small face and asked him, "Senior, how did it go?"

"Excellent!"

Li Chang’an was quite satisfied with this result.

He closed his eyes slightly and rapidly digested the insights he had just gained.

When he opened his eyes again, the world before him seemed to have a few more strange aspects.

’The void...’

Li Chang’an was lost in thought.

If he completely mastered all the power of that symbol, he could most likely tear the void with a wave of his hand, just like that Emperor of Great Jin.

Just as he was thinking, Song Yu’Er suddenly said in pleasant surprise, "Senior, my speed of absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power has increased again."

"Hm?"

Li Chang’an immediately sent out a stream of Spiritual Power into Song Yu’Er’s meridians to feel the speed at which she absorbed Spiritual Power.

After a while, he came to a conclusion.

Right now, Song Yu’Er’s cultivation speed was comparable to that of a Celestial Pride with a Mid-grade Earth Spirit Root.

Prior to this, her talent was only faintly approaching the level of an Earth Spirit Root.

It seemed the change in the symbol had caused her Spirit Body to undergo a second awakening.

Li Chang’an asked gently, "Yu’Er, can you feel any special power?"

"No."

"Have you awakened any special physique?"

"Nothing like that either..."

Song Yu’Er tried hard to sense it, but ultimately shook her head.

Other than her cultivation speed increasing, there were no other changes, and no sign of Void Power.

Li Chang’an checked her entire body once over and also didn’t notice anything abnormal.

He could only let her go back to continue her cultivation.

’Once she reaches the Golden Core realm, perhaps more changes will appear.’

For the current Li Chang’an, it wasn’t difficult to cultivate someone with an Earth Spirit Root to the Golden Core realm.

He had plenty of Core Formation Treasures on hand.

After Song Yu’Er left, Li Chang’an sealed his cave abode and entered its depths to prepare the medicinal liquid needed for the Seventh Layer of Body Refining.

In the past few years, he had already gathered all the Treasures needed for the medicinal liquid for the Seventh Layer of Body Refining.

About a quarter of an hour later, the medicinal liquid was prepared, and the entire cave abode was filled with a foul, bloody stench.

Li Chang’an lay quietly in the bloody medicinal liquid, silently experiencing the changes in his own physique.

’My Body Refining Realm is still at the Sixth Layer, but the strength of my physique has already broken through the Tier Three Limit and is still slowly increasing.’

Li Chang’an slowly clenched his fist, feeling his entire body filled with terrifying power.

Even a Golden Core Peak expert couldn’t withstand a single punch from him!

’Unfortunately, I don’t have a Tier Four Body Refining Technique.’

Li Chang’an sighed to himself.

Once he cultivated to the Ninth Layer, his path of Body Refinement would come to an end.

Several hours later, the sky began to brighten.

Li Chang’an finished his medicinal bath.

He took out some Alchemy Treasures, intending to refine some Elixir Pills to aid his cultivation.

Just then, Xu Fugui suddenly ran up the mountain, shouting cheerfully.

"Big Brother, your 170th birthday is coming up. Should we prepare a birthday banquet?"

"One hundred and seventy?"

Li Chang’an did a quick calculation and realized his birthday was indeed approaching again.

In cultivation, one loses track of time. He always forgot about this matter, relying on Xu Fugui to remind him every year.

"One hundred and seventy isn’t a major birthday. There’s no need to hold one."

Li Chang’an shook his head slightly.

’He had just held a party for his 150th birthday. If I hold another after such a short interval, I’m afraid I won’t receive many gifts.’

"Just prepare two tables of Spiritual Cuisine. There probably won’t be many people."

"Alrighty."

Xu Fugui immediately went down the mountain to prepare.

...

「A few days later.」

Li Chang’an officially turned 170 years old.

He didn’t announce it publicly, so not many people attended the banquet—just Zheng Qingqing, Mo Qingxue, Ye Hao, Zi Yun, and a few others.

Today, Zheng Qingqing was dressed in a red gown, her beautiful face like a flower, radiant and captivating.

Her eyes shifted, and she glanced at Mo Qingxue.

"Daoist Mo."

"Daoist Zheng, it’s been many years."

Mo Qingxue’s expression was as calm as usual as she returned the greeting peacefully.

The two of them made eye contact for an instant, their gazes meeting before looking away. They didn’t say much else.

Off to the side, Long Niu’s face was full of curiosity.

He stared with his big eyes, his gaze sweeping over the two women, then over to Li Chang’an, as if he had understood something.

’That little girl, Song Yu’Er... which of those two is her mother?’

Long Niu couldn’t hold back and secretly used Sound Transmission to ask Li Chang’an.
