Eternal Life by Daily Divination

The title of Fire Cloud Divine Lord had been passed down for countless generations.

Each Fire Cloud Divine Lord was the master of this world.

Li Chang’an had a suspicion.

All records of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty had likely been confiscated by the Fire Cloud Divine Hall.

This way, the world’s inhabitants wouldn’t know they were living in a Secret Realm, making them easier for the Fire Cloud Divine Hall to manage.

’The Fire Cloud Divine Hall must be filled with treasures, but I still don’t know the Fire Cloud Divine Lord’s true strength. I should wait a little longer.’

Li Chang’an retracted his gaze and continued to travel through the other Divine Domains.

Over the past year, aside from Gao Tianlan, he had subjugated several more Golden Core subordinates.

They all addressed Li Chang’an as the "Changqing Divine Lord," providing him with large quantities of Fire Cloud Crystals and High Tier Treasures.

This was an act of complete betrayal against the Fire Cloud Divine Lord.

But they were all willing to take the gamble!

The Fire Cloud Divine Lord had never been willing to give them a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivation Technique, but Li Chang’an was. This was one of the reasons they followed him.

...

「A few months passed in a flash.」

On this day, a special guest suddenly arrived on Changqing Mountain.

The person came in a Puppet Body, exuding a familiar aura.

It was the White Tiger Saint Child, Cui Baihong!

He and Li Chang’an had a deep-seated conflict and had even clashed inside the Secret Realm. To this day, he still coveted the opportunities Li Chang’an possessed.

He had come today not to make peace, but to propose a trade with Li Chang’an.

"Li Chang’an, I have Tier Four Red Fire Sparrow Essence Blood. I know you need it to gain entry into the Vermilion Bird Secret Realm."

Cui Baihong got straight to the point, stating his terms.

"You’re on good terms with Zi Xi. As long as you lure her out alone and help me kill her, I’ll give you this Red Fire Sparrow Essence Blood."

As he spoke, he produced a Spirit Contract.

The contract was laden with restrictions, making it one of the strictest types of Spirit Contracts.

This was a show of his sincerity.

If he were to violate the Spirit Contract, he would suffer a severe backlash.

"Trading Zi Xi’s life for this treasure... I think it’s a great deal. What do you say?"

"Not interested."

With a flick of his finger, Li Chang’an sent out a stream of Magical Power, shattering the Spirit Contract.

Then, he activated the Changqing Mountain Array, crushing Cui Baihong’s Puppet Body into dust.

Enraged, Cui Baihong left behind a single, murderous sentence before his puppet was completely destroyed.

"Li Chang’an, one day I will cut you down!"

Li Chang’an did not respond.

He sat quietly in his courtyard, lost in thought for a moment.

’For Cui Baihong to dare use such a strict Spirit Contract, it must mean he really does have Tier Four Red Fire Sparrow Essence Blood.’

Li Chang’an could tell.

Cui Baihong had genuinely wanted to make a trade.

But he had his own principles. He would never betray a friend for a treasure.

Compared to killing Zi Xi, he was more interested in killing Cui Baihong.

’Cui Baihong’s constitution is special. He has the White Tiger Vajra Body, which even Quasi-Tier Four Power has trouble harming. I’ll need to plan this carefully.’

As long as he could kill Cui Baihong and obtain the Red Fire Sparrow Essence Blood,

Li Chang’an would have gathered all three treasures.

With these three treasures, he would have enough to trade for entry into the Vermilion Bird Secret Realm.

’No need to rush. First, I’ll investigate if he has any weaknesses.’

Li Chang’an reined in his thoughts, his mind calm and steady.

He took out a Communication Treasure and informed Zi Xi of the matter.

Afterward, he took a trip to the Black Market and asked Luo Qiantong to gather all available information on Cui Baihong.

「Half a month later.」

A large amount of information was compiled from various places.

According to the reports, Cui Baihong had almost no weaknesses.

He was an orphan with no parents or descendants. The only person he was close to was his master, the White Tiger True Monarch.

Li Chang’an couldn’t possibly kidnap the White Tiger True Monarch.

Fortunately, Cui Baihong did have something he desperately wanted.

Information from the Yuan Country revealed that for years, Cui Baihong had been searching for a Divine Sense Secret Technique, desperate to obtain a Celestial Grade Divine Sense Attack Technique.

He believed his physique was already powerful enough, and his Magical Power was not weak either.

As long as he could obtain a Divine Sense Secret Technique,

he would possess formidable strength in all Three Paths of Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

’This guy thinks a lot like I do. None of my Essence, Qi, and Spirit can be weak.’

Li Chang’an mused to himself.

He possessed two Divine Sense Attack Skills, the *Golden Soul Sword Transformation Technique* and the *Scorpion Needle Shattering God Technique*, but both were only Earth Grade.

They didn’t meet Cui Baihong’s requirements and likely wouldn’t be enough to lure him into a trap.

’A bait isn’t absolutely necessary. The right opportunity is all I need. I’ll have Luo Qiantong pay close attention to the guy’s cultivation habits.’

Li Chang’an put down the report and resumed his cultivation.

For some time after that, his avatars, who were out searching for treasures, began to keep an eye out for a Celestial Grade Divine Sense Secret Technique, but they never had much luck.

「Several more months passed.」

Then one night, at the hour of Midnight, a golden light appeared before Li Chang’an’s eyes, just as it always did.

[Divination has been refreshed]

[Today’s Divination: Auspicious]

[You receive an invitation from the Wang Family Saintess, Wang Qianling, to go treasure hunting in the Central Domain’s Thousand Treasures Valley. Outside the valley, you unexpectedly discover a special pottery jar and obtain a Celestial Grade Divine Sense Attack Technique from within it.]

’Thousand Treasures Valley?’

Li Chang’an stared at the divination’s contents, looking thoughtful.

The place was very special.

It was originally just an ordinary canyon.

But after the second earth-shattering tremor, a fissure opened in the depths of Thousand Treasures Valley.

Every so often, a dense, cold Qi would erupt from the fissure, carrying a large number of treasures with it.

For this reason, the canyon was named Thousand Treasures Valley.

Inside Thousand Treasures Valley,

countless Cultivators waited daily for treasures to appear.

Additionally, many people set up stalls both inside and outside the valley to sell the treasures they had obtained.
