Eternal Life by Daily Divination

This Token looked quite ordinary. The character "Jin" was carved on its surface, but it didn’t react to either Magical Power or Divine Sense. It seemed to be nothing more than a mundane object.

However, even when Li Chang’an used his Tier Three Body Power, he couldn’t crush it.

’Back then, I received a hint from a divination to find a Giant Smoke Stone in the Black Market, which I would trade for Zi Xi’s Tier Three Spirit Vein.’

Li Chang’an recalled the events of that time.

He had bought four stones in the Black Market back then, and this very Token had come from the last one.

So many years had passed, but he had never found a way to use the Token and had kept it tucked away in a corner of his Storage Pouch.

’Could this be the Great Jin Treasure Token the Flying Boat Spirit mentioned?’

Li Chang’an pondered for a moment and felt that this had to be it.

But he didn’t act immediately.

Whether the Flying Boat Spirit was real or fake was still unknown.

Perhaps the other party was just an old monster with malicious intent, trying to lure him into the Flying Ship.

Besides, disciples from the major Nascent Soul Sects, like Zi Xi and Gu Yunqi, were still here.

If Li Chang’an were to enter in front of them, he would surely become a target.

’After these people leave, I’ll check the divination.’

He was patient and not in a hurry.

Soon, after some discussion, everyone decided to retreat.

Although that deranged senior had already left, there was no telling when he might return.

None of them wanted to again experience that feeling of their lives being completely out of their control.

"That person is already out of his mind. If he decided to kill us, I’m afraid none of us would survive."

"There might be opportunities inside the Flying Ship, but it’s protected by an Array. It’s not for us. Let’s just check the outer areas."

"Well said..."

Between opportunity and their lives, everyone chose the latter.

Zi Xi and Mu Hongyu led the people of their two sects and retreated.

Meanwhile, the disciples of the Yellow Sand Sect and the White Tiger Sect also withdrew.

「That evening.」

Zi Xi said to the crowd, "I have already informed my Master about what happened here. She has ordered us not to touch that Flying Ship again."

Mu Hongyu nodded. "My Master said the same thing."

Next, the opportunities on that Flying Ship would have to be left for the Nascent Soul Powerhouses to handle.

Everyone planned to go Treasure Hunting in the outer areas of the ruins.

These ruins were vast, and they were the first group to explore them. Even in the outermost areas, there were many valuable Treasures.

With their strength, as long as they were careful, there would likely be no accidents.

Li Chang’an said nothing.

He sat quietly among the crowd, waiting for the Divination to appear.

「That night at Midnight.」

A golden light materialized before his eyes.

[Divination Refreshed]

[Today’s Divination: Auspicious]

[Relying on the Great Jin Treasure Token, you will gain the approval of the Flying Boat Spirit, enter the Flying Ship, and take with you a portion of the Earth Element Blood Stone of Ten Thousand Demons. No accidents will occur.]

’An Auspicious Trigram. It seems safe!’

Li Chang’an felt a sense of relief.

He left his Puppet Body here, used an Escape Technique and a Concealing Spell, and quietly returned to the Flying Ship.

After confirming there was no one else nearby,

Li Chang’an took out the Token carved with the character "Jin" and sent a Sound Transmission into the Flying Ship.

"Senior Artifact Spirit, is this the Great Jin Treasure Token?"

A moment later, that calm voice once again sounded in his mind.

"Correct. Come in."

"Yes."

Holding the Treasure Token, Li Chang’an’s figure flickered as he entered the Flying Ship.

Inside the Flying Ship was another world entirely.

What appeared before his eyes was a vast, small world.

However, this small world had little life and was filled with an air of decay and rot. It was bleak and oppressive everywhere.

The sky was dark, the earth was cracked, and withered bones littered the ground.

In the center of the small world stood a tall Treasure Vault.

Following the Artifact Spirit’s guidance, Li Chang’an arrived before the gates of the Treasure Vault and presented the Great Jin Treasure Token in his hand.

An illusory figure appeared before him, reached out to take the Great Jin Treasure Token, and waved a hand at the Treasure Vault’s gates.

With a soft BUZZ, the gates of the Treasure Vault slowly opened.

In that instant, Li Chang’an sensed the auras of countless Treasures.

He looked inside and immediately saw a massive amount of Elixir Pills, Spirit Plants, Crystal Stones, Demon Blood, Cultivation Technique Manuals, and more.

The sheer number of Treasures was dazzling. Their brilliant light was rich, and their spiritual essence filled the air, creating a dreamlike scene that was almost too much to take in at once.

However, he soon discovered that although there were many Treasures in the Treasure Vault, most of the areas were already empty, with only a small section still holding anything.

Li Chang’an asked, "Senior, within this Treasure Vault, are there any opportunities for Nascent Soul Formation?"

"There used to be, and quite a few, but they were all taken by those who came before you. You’re several tens of thousands of years too late."

The Artifact Spirit’s illusory form, indistinct and hazy like a human figure condensed from mist, stood beside him as it answered his question.

Li Chang’an asked again, "Are there any opportunities for Divinity Transformation?"

"None of those either."

The Artifact Spirit stated that in this Treasure Vault, the Treasures that were beneficial for a Cultivator’s advancement had almost all been taken.

Li Chang’an had been born too late. If he had come tens of thousands, or even over a hundred thousand years earlier, he would have had more choices.

The Artifact Spirit added, "When you were searching for someone before, you used a great number of Souls. This Venerable Soul Banner should be suitable for you."

It raised a hand and beckoned, and a Soul Banner brimming with sinister energy appeared before Li Chang’an.

The Tier of this Soul Banner had actually reached Tier Four Top Grade!

It would be sufficient for him to use all the way to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Of course, if he chose the Soul Banner, he wouldn’t be able to choose any other Treasure.

The Soul Banner in Li Chang’an’s hands, although only Tier Three Top Grade, still had room for advancement.

"Thank you for your kind intentions, Senior, but I’d like to see what else there is."

"Very well. Look for yourself."

With a casual wave of its hand, the Artifact Spirit returned the Venerable Soul Banner.

"You only have one chance, so choose carefully. If you really can’t find anything suitable, then just choose the item with the highest value."
