Eternal Life by Daily Divination

He moved stealthily, secretly setting up Array Treasures and tracing out one Array Pattern after another.

Not long after, a Quasi-Tier Four Grand Array took shape.

The Mountain-Drilling Beast’s lair was now inside the Grand Array, completely sealed off by the formation.

’This should be secure enough.’

A Spiritual Light flashed in Li Chang’an’s hand, and the Beast Taming Wheel appeared.

His figure flickered. He used his Escape Technique to its fullest extent, instantly appearing beside the Mountain-Drilling Beast and unleashing the Beast Taming Wheel.

The Mountain-Drilling Beast had no time to react and was tightly bound by the Beast Taming Wheel in the blink of an eye.

"Human Race Cultivator, you have some nerve! Once I break free, I will sever your head!"

He roared, his face twisted with rage.

Li Chang’an remained silent, merely activating the Beast Taming Wheel.

Streams of golden symbols appeared on the Beast Taming Wheel, shining with a brilliant, dazzling light. They entered the Mountain-Drilling Beast’s body one after another, causing him to scream incessantly.

Before long, he began to wail and beg for mercy. "Senior, spare me! This Little Demon submits! I beg you, Senior, please let this Little Demon go!"

Li Chang’an said calmly, "Don’t be afraid. I won’t kill you. I just want to ask you a question. If you answer well, I’ll naturally let you go."

"Please ask, Senior. This Little Demon will tell you everything I know."

"These few Yellow Sand Star Crystals, where did you get them?"

With a thought, Li Chang’an retrieved the Yellow Sand Star Crystals from his Storage Pouch.

The Mountain-Drilling Beast answered immediately, "My previous cultivation spot had a large Yellow Sand Star Crystal mine, but that place has been taken over by the Yin Soul Sect."

As he spoke, he sent out a stream of Divine Sense containing a map that marked the location of his former cultivation spot.

The place was quite far from their current location, but very close to the Yin Soul Sect’s Spirit Vein.

"The reason this Little Demon cultivated there was not only because it produced Yellow Sand Star Crystals, but also because the dense Yin Qi could conceal my aura."

Fearing the Beast Taming Wheel, the Mountain-Drilling Beast obediently confessed everything.

Li Chang’an shot out a Wood Seed, refining him into a Puppet. He then stored him in the Spirit Beast Bag, planning to keep him alive to extract Essence Blood from.

Afterward, with a wave of his hand, he collected all the Treasures, including the Turtle Shell, erased all traces of his presence, and used the Power of Earth Element to make the underground lair vanish completely.

After doing all this, Li Chang’an didn’t stop to rest, immediately rushing toward the location of the Yellow Sand Star Crystal mine.

「A short time later.」

His figure came to a halt as he stared straight ahead.

’There’s an Array.’

Several Tier Three Grand Arrays had been set up around the Yellow Sand Star Crystal mine.

Some Yin Soul Sect Cultivators were entering and exiting the mining area.

Li Chang’an covertly took control of a Foundation Establishment Stage Yin Soul Sect Cultivator and maneuvered him into the mine.

What appeared before his eyes were hundreds, even thousands, of pitch-black coffins.

As far as the eye could see, the entire mine was filled with coffins.

Inside each coffin was a corpse being nourished by the Yin Qi of the area.

’The Yin Qi here is dense. The Yin Soul Sect is using it as a Land of Corpse Nourishment.’

’The Yellow Sand Star Crystal mine seems to have been completely excavated.’

Li Chang’an’s brow furrowed slightly as he controlled the Foundation Establishment Cultivator to go deeper.

As expected, the mine had been picked clean. Not a single Yellow Sand Star Crystal remained.

’It seems I’ll have to go after the Yin Soul Sect directly.’

Li Chang’an’s gaze deepened as he looked toward the Yin Soul Sect’s Spirit Vein.

He used an Escape Technique, quietly arriving outside the Yin Soul Sect’s Mountain Gate to lie in wait.

「Several days later.」

A Golden Core Elder left the Yin Soul Sect.

Judging by his direction, he was likely heading toward the Ancient Sect Ruins deep within the Black Dragon Mountain Range.

Li Chang’an acted at once, capturing him in the blink of an eye.

After a round of interrogation, he refined him into a Puppet.

Afterward, he controlled this Golden Core Puppet, sending it through the Yin Soul Sect’s Mountain Gate to check the Treasures in their Treasure Vault.

’This person didn’t lie to me. There are no Yellow Sand Star Crystals in the Treasure Vault. Saint Child Wu Gu has all of them.’

During the earlier interrogation, the man had confessed everything.

The Yin Soul Sect’s Treasure Vault contained no Yellow Sand Star Crystals, only a large quantity of Demonic Treasures.

A cursory glance revealed dozens of containers designed to hold Souls.

Nearly every container was filled to the brim with Souls.

’Tens of millions of Souls!’

With so many Souls, it would be impossible to exchange for all of them using only the contribution points of this single Golden Core Puppet.

Of course, Li Chang’an had no intention of making an exchange.

His plan was very simple.

He would take them by force!

But before that, he had to take down the Saint Child, Wu Gu.

「Over the next few months.」

Li Chang’an rapidly infiltrated the entire Yin Soul Sect, refining all of its twenty-something Golden Core Masters into Puppets.

In addition, he had also taken control of the Yin Soul Sect’s Arrays.

To prevent any accidents, he even added a few Quasi-Tier Four Arrays.

With his current abilities, dealing with an ordinary Saint Child wouldn’t be difficult. There was no need for such extensive preparations.

But even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit. He couldn’t afford to be careless and fail.

’That should be about enough.’

After preparing everything, Li Chang’an didn’t act immediately. Instead, he quietly waited for the Divination to appear.

That night, the Divination appeared as usual, indicating ’Auspicious.’

His heart settled. He immediately controlled the twenty-plus Yin Soul Sect Golden Core Masters and sent them straight toward the place where Saint Child Wu Gu was in seclusion.

"Saint Child, we have urgent matters to report."

"What is it?"

"We’ve discovered Li Fan’s hiding place."

"What?!"

Wu Gu’s voice suddenly grew shrill.

In the blink of an eye, his figure appeared outside his place of seclusion.

He was somewhat impatient and asked, "Where is that Li Fan hiding? Speak! I will kill him myself!"

"Saint Child, please look!"

Li Chang’an channeled a burst of Magical Power, forming a map in front of Wu Gu.

Wu Gu was so desperate to kill Li Chang’an that his attention was completely drawn to the map. He never imagined he would be attacked within the Yin Soul Sect’s own Mountain Gate.

But in the very next instant.
