Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Li Chang’an couldn’t be bothered to waste words on Wu Gu.

He flicked a finger, sending out a cold, sinister stream of Qi.

"Wu Gu, do you still not know who I am?"

"You..."

Wu Gu’s mind reeled in shock.

That sinister Qi, combined with the Venerable Soul Banner, made him realize the identity of the person before him.

’So, the so-called Li Fan never even existed!’

He finally understood.

The enemy he had been trying every means to deal with all these years was nothing more than a fake identity used by Li Chang’an.

The sheer disparity of it all was hard for him to accept.

After a long moment.

He finally collected himself and asked, "Li Chang’an, what do you want to know?"

"Smart of you. Saves me the trouble."

Li Chang’an had originally planned to let the Evil Souls torture him for a while.

But Wu Gu’s cooperation was somewhat surprising.

"Wu Gu, I want to know what the Nether Soul Sect is secretly plotting."

"I don’t know about this matter."

"You’re a Saint Child of the Nether Soul Sect, one of the highest-ranking people below the Nascent Soul True Monarchs, and you’re telling me you don’t know?"

"Unless you reach the Nascent Soul realm, you can never enter the Sect’s inner core."

Wu Gu’s face was filled with melancholy. He had hoped to develop his foundation in the Southern Domain to lay a solid groundwork for his future advancement to the Nascent Soul realm.

But now, all of that was just empty talk.

He stated bluntly that the Nether Soul Sect was indeed planning something earth-shattering.

However, only the Nascent Soul True Monarchs knew the details.

"I only know that a massive number of souls are needed to complete the plan."

What Wu Gu knew was more or less the same as what the Quasi-Tier Four Divination Master Yuan Tianxuan knew.

Their positions in the Nether Soul Sect were not that different, after all.

After the interrogation, Li Chang’an hadn’t learned much useful information.

’Forget it. I’ll deal with Gu Yunqi first.’

He collected Wu Gu’s soul and, with a flicker, appeared beside the Earth Fire deep within the Spirit Vein, preparing to refine the Earth Cloud Yellow Sand Pill.

Just then, he suddenly sensed something and looked up.

’That person from the Nether Soul Sect is trying to divine my location again. This feeling is stronger than before. They must have used some special Treasure.’

He paid it no mind and began the alchemy process.

...

「Meanwhile.」

In the Yan Country, at the Nether Soul Sect.

Inside a secret chamber, the air was thick with a sinister aura. Rows of Soul Lamps were lit, their flames flickering.

Among them, the Soul Lamp belonging to Wu Gu had long since been extinguished.

Numerous Golden Core Cultivators from the Demon Sect were gathered here.

Before long, a young voice echoed from the depths of the secret chamber.

"It failed again. I can’t divine that person’s location."

"I get the same result when I try to divine Li Fan."

"From this, we can see that the person is likely Li Fan. He single-handedly slaughtered our Nether Soul Sect’s Sub-Sect..."

Hearing the familiar name "Li Fan," everyone’s expression turned solemn.

Over the past few years, they had heard this name many times.

It was incredible that a Demon Cultivator from a minor region could cause such significant losses to the Nether Soul Sect.

A moment later, an aged voice spoke.

"Wu Zhe, Wu Lan, you two will go to the Zhao Country. You must find this Li Fan."

As soon as the voice faded, two Nascent Soul Decrees flew out from the depths of the chamber, landing before two young Golden Core Cultivators.

The two stepped forward in unison, caught the Decrees, and replied respectfully.

"We obey Master’s command!"

These two were both stronger than Wu Gu, being the very top among the Holy Son and Saintess.

Wu Zhe asked, "Master, are we to kill that Li Fan?"

"No. Li Fan is a talent. If you can win him over, then bring him into our Nether Soul Sect."

The old man’s words surprised many of those present.

’The two sides have been fighting for so many years, and the grudge runs deep. Can he really be won over?’

Just as they were thinking this, the old man’s voice sounded again, this time tinged with a hint of killing intent.

"If you cannot win him over, then kill him. Collect his soul and refine it into a lamp wick. Let him suffer in the Soul Fire for a thousand years, so the world will know the price of offending our Nether Soul Sect."

"Yes!"

Not long after, the two set out for the Zhao Country, taking the Treasures bestowed by the Nascent Soul Old Demon and the young Tier Four Divination Grandmaster with them.

Along the way, Wu Zhe asked the Divination Grandmaster, "Grandmaster Tang, once we reach the Zhao Country, will you be able to divine Li Fan’s location?"

This Divination Grandmaster’s name was Tang Taixian.

Although his Cultivation was only at Golden Core Peak, he had astonishing talent in the path of Divination and had already reached Tier Four Low Grade.

He pondered for a moment before answering, "The Zhao Country Cultivation Immortality Realm is where Li Fan grew up. There should be many traces he left behind. Perhaps we can use these traces to lock onto his position."

"Then we will have to trouble you, Grandmaster Tang. After we kill Li Fan, I will be sure to reward you generously!"

Wu Zhe gazed at the distant Zhao Country Cultivation Immortality Realm, battle intent and killing intent surging in his chest.

Just then, Wu Lan, who was beside him, suddenly spoke.

"If we meet Li Fan, we should first try to win him over. We mustn’t show any hostility."

"Why waste time?"

Wu Zhe snorted coldly. "That Li Fan has been an enemy of our Nether Soul Sect for years. Do you really think you can win him over?"

Wu Lan frowned slightly and replied, "Li Fan’s abilities are extraordinary. It would be best if we could recruit him. Although we are strong, we might not necessarily be able to kill him."

"Say no more. I will definitely be able to kill him!"

Wu Zhe’s voice was cold and harsh, his words filled with confidence.

Along the way, the brother and sister argued constantly over the matter.

Tang Taixian remained silent the whole time, his eyes deep as he gazed in the direction of the Southern Domain.

’Strange, why do I feel so uneasy? With my Divination abilities, I shouldn’t be running into any danger. It’s not like that Li Fan could also be a Divination Grandmaster.’

He glanced at the sky.

He only felt that the heavenly secrets were obscured and chaotic.

...

「Meanwhile.」

On Changqing Mountain, inside the Alchemy Room.

Li Chang’an sat cross-legged before the Alchemy Furnace, his expression focused, the flickering firelight reflected in his eyes.

This alchemy session had reached its final, critical stage.

’The difficulty of refining this Earth Cloud Yellow Sand Pill far exceeds that of the Purple Spirit Pill. I’m afraid it’s already approaching Quasi-Tier Four. Fortunately, my Alchemy Skill is sufficient. If it were an ordinary Tier Three Top Grade Alchemist, they would have likely wasted a set of ingredients.’
