Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Li Chang’an smiled, quite satisfied.

If he could break through one more time and reach the Seventh Layer of Body Refining, the Power of his Physique would likely surpass the Tier Three Limit.

That evening.

He left Prince Profound’s Mansion and, in his capacity as a Golden Core Guest Elder, paid a visit to the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty’s Treasure Vault.

This was his first time entering the Treasure Vault of a Nascent Soul Influence.

The moment he stepped inside,

the glittering light of all manner of treasures filled his vision.

’As expected of a Nascent Soul Influence.’

Gazing at the countless treasures, Li Chang’an sighed with heartfelt emotion.

His own wealth was already quite substantial, far surpassing that of many Golden Core Influences in the Southern Domain, but it couldn’t compare to the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty’s thirty thousand years of accumulated resources.

He had come this time mainly to look for opportunities related to the Nascent Soul Realm.

However,

perhaps because his status and authority were still insufficient,

the treasures displayed before him included no Nascent Soul opportunities, and there were very few Tier Four Treasures.

’If I could reach the Nascent Soul Realm, I’d surely be able to see more High Tier Treasures.’

Li Chang’an browsed the Treasure Vault for a while but didn’t exchange for anything. He then turned and headed for the Library Pavilion.

Inside the Library Pavilion,

he saw a number of Celestial Grade Techniques and Magic.

However, according to the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty’s classification, these Cultivation Techniques and Magic could only be considered Pseudo-Celestial Grade, not reaching the Tier of True Celestial Grade.

Li Chang’an casually browsed an ancient tome and chatted with the Cultivator guarding the Library Pavilion.

During their conversation,

he learned something unexpected.

The Great Qi Immortal Dynasty didn’t just have four Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

There was also an Elder Emperor whose Cultivation had reached the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul!

A Nascent Soul Cultivator’s lifespan could reach a thousand years, and that Elder Emperor was only eight hundred years old, with over two hundred years left to live.

However,

he had unexpectedly disappeared many years ago.

Although his Soul Lamp was still lit, no one knew where he had gone, and he had yet to return.

The Cultivator guarding the Library Pavilion lamented, "The Elder Emperor’s divine abilities were astounding and his Magical Power profound. If he could return, he alone would be enough to suppress the two Nascent Souls of the Wang Family. But who knows where he is."

’The Great Qi Immortal Dynasty’s foundation is truly deep, to think they have another powerhouse like that.’

Through this conversation,

Li Chang’an learned many more of the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty’s secrets.

...

「A few days later.」

He bid farewell to Qi Lingshuang and prepared to return to the Southern Domain.

As for Jiang Muyu,

she still had subsequent trials to complete, but they were relatively simple and didn’t require Li Chang’an’s help.

"My lord, once I complete my trials, I will return to Changqing Mountain."

Jiang Muyu said reluctantly, her beautiful eyes red as she held onto Li Chang’an.

Li Chang’an smiled and offered a few words of caution.

Regarding her subsequent trials,

he wasn’t worried.

Jiang Muyu’s performance in the trials this time had been outstanding, earning her praise from many of Great Qi’s clan elders. She was already considered the Saintess by many, so it was unlikely they would arrange any more overly dangerous trials for her.

Still, to be on the safe side,

Li Chang’an stayed for half a day to refine various life-saving treasures for her.

By the time he finished refining, it was late at night.

Midnight arrived.

A golden light materialized before Li Chang’an’s eyes.

[Divination has been refreshed]

[Today’s Divination: Ominous]

[You leave Prince Profound’s Mansion to return to the Southern Domain. On the way, you are ambushed by Prince Huai of Great Qi and are forced to use a Realm-Sundering Talisman to escape.]

’Prince Huai?’

Li Chang’an’s heart skipped a beat as he read the Divination’s content.

This person was the ancestor of Qi Jingyun and Qi Yuan.

Although he only had Golden Core Peak Cultivation, within the borders of Great Qi, he could borrow the Power of Faith to rival a Fake Soul Cultivator, enough to be addressed as a True Monarch.

’To think he would come to ambush me. Qi Jingyun must have asked him to do it.’

Li Chang’an knew very well.

He was extremely important to Jiang Muyu.

If he were to die unexpectedly, Jiang Muyu would be devastated and would most likely fall into a state of despair.

’If this were far from the territory of Great Qi, I wouldn’t fear this person and could even kill him. But this is the heartland of Great Qi.’

Li Chang’an pondered for a long time.

If he used a Concealing Spell, could he evade a Nascent Soul Powerhouse and leave this place unnoticed?

After careful consideration, he felt the risk was too great.

He had no choice.

He could only find Jiang Muyu and ask her to request Jiang Xuanyuan’s help.

"Muyu, a friend of mine told me that Prince Huai plans to make a move against me."

"Prince Huai? Isn’t that old fossil supposed to be on the border dealing with the Wang Family?"

Jiang Muyu’s expression changed slightly.

She immediately used her Communication Jade Pendant to contact her father, Jiang Xuanyuan.

Jiang Xuanyuan informed her that Prince Huai had been in seclusion for the past few days and hadn’t been seen.

"It seems he wasn’t really in seclusion, but came to deal with Li. That friend of Li’s is quite impressive to have learned of this."

Jiang Xuanyuan told Li Chang’an not to worry.

That night, he also announced that he was entering seclusion and quietly left the border region.

「The next day.」

Inside Prince Profound’s Mansion.

Li Chang’an met with Jiang Xuanyuan, who had rushed back.

"Li, you can return without any worries. I will follow behind you. If that Prince Huai dares to show himself, I’ll let him know the difference between a True Soul and a Fake Soul!"

"Thank you, Senior!"

Li Chang’an secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At noon that day,

he officially bid farewell to Qi Lingshuang and Jiang Muyu.

Then, without any attempt to conceal himself, he transformed into a streak of light and left the Great Qi Imperial City, heading back to the Southern Domain.

About a quarter of an hour later,

the aura of a Fake Soul powerhouse suddenly appeared before him.

"Hehe, Li, why be in such a hurry to leave? This Prince has matters to discuss with you."

As soon as the voice fell, a middle-aged man wearing Bright Yellow Battle Armor appeared.

He had an extraordinary bearing and immense strength, and the aura around him far surpassed the Golden Core Realm.

It was Prince Huai!

Li Chang’an cupped his hands in a salute and asked, "Senior, you are a dignified Nascent Soul True Monarch. Why must you make things difficult for a junior like me, who is only at the Golden Core Realm?"

"You’re mistaken, Li. In terms of realm, I am also only at the Golden Core. We are in the same Major Realm, so this hardly counts as a senior bullying a junior."

Prince Huai wore a smile, calm and unhurried, seemingly unconcerned that Li Chang’an might try to escape.

He had already used his Nascent Soul Magical Power to seal the surrounding space.

"Li, please come and have a seat at my Prince Huai’s Mansion."

With that, he waved his large hand, about to capture Li Chang’an.

But just then,

an even more tyrannical aura erupted, instantly tearing his seal apart!

Jiang Xuanyuan appeared before Li Chang’an, his expression cold and severe.

He held a Water Blue Long Spear, and his Nascent Soul Magical Power surged forth.

"Prince Huai, you announced to the public that you were in seclusion, yet you appear here. Could it be that you fled from battle out of fear? Or have you secretly colluded with the Wang Family?"

"I..."

Prince Huai’s expression changed dramatically.

Although he possessed the power of a Fake Soul, his true realm was only Golden Core. Facing a true Nascent Soul like Jiang Xuanyuan, his presence immediately weakened.

"Daoist Jiang, I have not colluded with the Wang Family."

"If that’s the case, why did you move against a Golden Core Guest Elder of our Great Qi?"

Jiang Xuanyuan barked coldly, his presence swelling again as if harnessing the power of heaven and earth to crush Prince Huai.

Prince Huai’s presence was insufficient, and he was forced to use a portion of his Nascent Soul power to resist the pressure.

"Daoist Jiang, I was in the wrong in this matter. I am willing to apologize to Li."

"There’s no need. You’d better come with me to the Great Qi Celestial Prison."

Jiang Xuanyuan’s attitude was unyielding, and he instantly sealed the space around Prince Huai.

Prince Huai’s face turned ugly. He knew that Jiang Xuanyuan must have already known the truth of the matter; otherwise, he couldn’t have appeared here so coincidentally.

But Jiang Xuanyuan refused to mention the trials, instead insisting on pinning the label of a traitor on him. It was clear he intended to put him in an impossible position.

The bigger the scene, the more humiliated he would be.

Seeing that Jiang Xuanyuan had no intention of backing down, he couldn’t help but become infuriated.

"Jiang Xuanyuan, you are a dignified Nascent Soul True Monarch! Why must you make things difficult for a Golden Core junior like me?"
