Eternal Life by Daily Divination

The Huanghe Alliance had developed quite well over the past few years.

Perhaps it was because Yellow Crane Immortal City had offended too many people.

After Ye Hao established the Huanghe Alliance, a large number of Cultivators traveled from far and wide just to follow him and fight against Yellow Crane Immortal City.

’The Huanghe Alliance likely has more than ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators by now.’

Li Chang’an thought to himself as he looked at the report in his hand.

According to the report, in the previous battle over the Spiritual Ore mine, the Huanghe Alliance had dispatched three Foundation Establishment Cultivators, one of whom was even a Tier Two Array Master. The Honored Guest Foundation Establishment Elder from Yellow Crane Immortal City who was guarding the mine didn’t dare to fight. He abandoned the other Cultivators in the mine and fled in a hurry. As for Chu Xiong’s two disciples, they couldn’t escape in time and were slain by the Huanghe Alliance.

Not long after, another piece of news arrived.

Yellow Crane Immortal City had wanted to hire a Divination Master to locate the Huanghe Alliance’s stronghold.

However, every Divination Master in the entire Zhao Country had publicly announced that they would not accept any Divination requests from Yellow Crane Immortal City, no matter how many Treasures were offered!

’It seems the matter of Wang Chunfeng losing part of his lifespan has scared off all the other Divination Masters.’

A smile appeared on Li Chang’an’s face.

He had already known about what happened to Wang Chunfeng.

The news that the Divination Master had lost part of his lifespan was impossible to hide, simply because he had been searching for all sorts of Life-Extending Treasures these past few years.

’Ye Hao’s Huanghe Alliance has truly become a force to be reckoned with. In the future, it might actually pose a fatal threat to Yellow Crane Immortal City.’

Li Chang’an performed a quick divination but couldn’t foresee anything. The future of the Huanghe Alliance was a blur of chaos.

This couldn’t help but surprise him.

He tried to divine again, this time focusing on Ye Hao, but the divination results were the same.

’Could Ye Hao have some other fortuitous opportunity?’

Li Chang’an had a premonition that if he forced the divination, he would certainly lose some of his own lifespan.

He had no choice but to give up for now.

In any case, there were now two forces opposing Yellow Crane Immortal City: the Huanghe Alliance and the Black Crow Master.

For the time being, Li Chang’an didn’t need to make a move. He could just hide in the shadows and silently observe how things unfolded.

…

「That evening.」

The four Peak Masters of Cui Ping Mountain’s main peaks gathered together.

After the previous battle, the trust among the four of them had grown considerably.

An age of chaos had arrived.

They all had a faint feeling that the days to come would only grow more turbulent.

It was far better for the four of them to join forces than to fight alone.

The two Foundation Establishment Families had been wiped out this time precisely because each had only a single Foundation Establishment Ancestor. Weak and isolated, they stood no chance against the vast numbers of Demon Beasts.

“This matter isn’t over. There are likely still many Great Demons lurking in various places. The three of you must not let down your guard,”

Xiang Chisong reminded the other three.

The events of today were perhaps only the beginning of a great upheaval.

After some discussion, the topic turned to Li Chang’an.

Xiang Chisong praised, “Daoist Li, you truly surprised me. That strike from your Sword Array had the air of a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator!”

One must remember that Li Chang’an was only at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Yet he could unleash techniques that surpassed his cultivation level.

He was comparable to the Foundation Establishment Celestial Prides from the major Sects and Noble Families.

Liu Yuzhu chuckled lightly. “Daoist Li, you really hide your strength well. When those Demon Beasts attacked, I was genuinely worried about you for a long time.”

“That Sword Array consumes an enormous amount of power. I can only manage a few strikes with it,” Li Chang’an said with a feigned, wry smile and a sigh.

“After those few strikes, my own Magical Power will be completely drained. If I can’t kill the enemy by then, I’ll be at their mercy.”

“Daoist Li, why be so modest?” Xiang Chisong said frankly. “The power of that Sword Array can be even stronger!

This was because Li Chang’an was using nine Tier Two Low Grade Spiritual Swords.

If you were to switch to nine Tier Two Top Grade Spiritual Swords, the power would be unimaginable! A single strike would be enough to kill a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator!”

“Daoist Li, if you have sufficient materials, I can forge nine Top Grade Spiritual Swords for you!”

Xiang Chisong was very magnanimous, making the promise on the spot.

As long as the materials were sufficient, he would forge the swords for Li Chang’an for free!

“Many thanks, Daoist Xiang!”

Li Chang’an immediately expressed his thanks.

However, this was just a nice thought. ’Even if I really had nine Tier Two Top Grade Spiritual Swords, with my current Magical Power, I’d have a hard time controlling them.

I wouldn’t be able to control them even with the Profound Water Turtle Borrowing Technique.’

Before they knew it, the night had deepened. The four of them ended their conversation and returned to their respective abodes.

…

「In the following days.」

News of attacks by Tier Two Great Demons came in from all over.

Another Foundation Establishment Family and a Foundation Establishment Sect were annihilated, with only a handful of disciples surviving.

Furthermore, the Huanghe Alliance did not cease its activities.

They struck out several more times, destroying a few more mining sites under Chu Xiong’s name.

This behavior surprised many people.

“Isn’t the Huanghe Alliance supposed to be fighting all of Yellow Crane Immortal City? Why are they targeting Chu Xiong so specifically?”

“What on earth did that Chu Xiong do?”

No one understood.

「Two days later.」

Li Chang’an went to the Black Market and sold some Treasures.

While there, he ran into Jiang Yunsheng.

After a brief conversation, Li Chang’an learned that the reason the Huanghe Alliance was targeting Chu Xiong was on the orders of the Alliance Leader, Ye Hao.

“Ye Hao told me in private that Chu Xiong has a feud with his big brother, so they’re prioritizing him.”

“I see.”

Li Chang’an finally understood.

’Ye Hao was actually doing this for me.’

He felt compelled to remind him, “Although Chu Xiong is a fool, he is, after all, a Golden Core Disciple. He surely has many Foundation Establishment friends. You can’t afford to be careless.”

“Don’t worry, we’re not stupid!”

Jiang Yunsheng seemed very confident.

’Li Chang’an suspected that the string of successful raids had made the guy a little arrogant.’

…

For the next half a month, chaos continued to reign everywhere.

Due to the rampaging Great Demons, an air of bloodshed hung over the entire Southern Domain of Zhao Country.

Some fell, while others rose.

Every day brought a flood of news, some true, some false.

On the front lines of Yellow Crane Immortal City, the Tier Three Demon King launched several more sneak attacks, repeatedly tearing through the Human Race Cultivators’ defensive lines and allowing a large number of Demon Beasts to pour in and wreak havoc.
