Eternal Life by Daily Divination

’They have Core Formation Spiritual Objects, but the highest-quality one only increases the success rate by ten percent, which is about the same as the Profound Jade Marrow I have.’

’There are no finished Five Elements Golden Condensation Pills, only a few of the primary ingredients, and a pitifully small amount at that…’

Li Chang’an shook his head slightly, a little disappointed.

The Mu Family Treasure Vault originally had more Core Formation Treasures than this.

But after that Golden Core Ancestor perished in the Black Dragon Mountain Range, two of the Mu Family’s Golden Core Seeds had successively attempted Core Formation. They had consumed a large number of Treasures, but both had ended in failure.

The trial of Core Formation was far more difficult than Foundation Establishment!

Most Golden Core Seeds were Celestial Prides, the kind you find only one in a hundred.

Yet, of such figures, less than ten percent ultimately succeeded in Core Formation.

If it were otherwise, the various major Sects and Noble Families wouldn’t have so few Golden Core Masters.

Li Chang’an skipped past the Core Formation Treasures and looked at the other Treasures.

’They do have the three types of Spirit Plants I need for Body Refinement, but I’m not eligible to exchange for them right now.’

’Unfortunately, the Mu Family Treasure Vault doesn’t have any Tier Three Dragon Beast Essence Blood either.’

’But there are hundreds of drops of Cyan Profound Spirit Liquid…’

In the end, Li Chang’an only exchanged for five drops of Cyan Profound Spirit Liquid.

Afterward, he went to have a look at the Mu Family’s Library Pavilion.

His goal.

Was naturally the Tier Three Spirit Plant inheritance.

In addition, the Mu Family had another inheritance that reached Tier Three: a Tier Three Low Grade Spirit Doctor Inheritance.

If possible, Li Chang’an wanted to copy both inheritances and take them back to study at his leisure.

But the clan elder guarding the Library Pavilion told him.

“Yuanchen, you are not yet a Golden Core Seed. The highest you can exchange for is a Tier Two Top Grade inheritance.”

Although Li Chang’an had demonstrated great strength, the family had not yet officially declared him a Golden Core Seed.

Before becoming a Golden Core Seed.

His qualifications in various matters were not much higher than those of an ordinary Foundation Establishment clansman.

’Tier Two Top Grade isn’t bad either.’

Li Chang’an wasn’t greedy and had a good attitude about it.

Soon, he used the contribution points Mu Yuanchen had accumulated to exchange for the Tier Two Top Grade Spirit Plant and Spirit Doctor inheritances.

After that.

He didn’t leave right away.

Instead, he spent a long time in the Library, browsing the collection to assess the Mu Family’s foundation.

’The Mu Family has quite a few ancient texts, far more than the Zhou Family.’

’However, the Tiers of the Cultivation Techniques and Magic are all average. The highest are only Earth Grade, with not a single Celestial Grade. Perhaps my status isn’t high enough to see the better ones…’

「About three hours later.」

Li Chang’an left the Library and returned to his residence.

He set up an Array in his room, isolating it completely from the outside world, then released the Soul of the Western Cultivator from his Venerable Soul Banner.

“What is your name?”

“Senior, this junior’s name is Jia Yuan. I am just an ordinary Loose Cultivator who recently advanced to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.”

The Western Cultivator had been so thoroughly tamed by the Evil Souls that he had no fight left in him, and he answered Li Chang’an’s questions obediently.

Li Chang’an asked again, “You said before that the Southern Domain would cease to exist. What did you mean by that?”

Jia Yuan replied respectfully, “Senior, this junior only heard some rumors. They might not be accurate.”

“What rumors? Tell me in detail.”

“Yes!”

Jia Yuan didn’t hide anything and told him everything.

「Some days ago.」

While trading with a disciple from Mandarin Duck Valley in a Black Market in the Western Domain, he had accidentally learned something.

The major Sects and Noble Families of the Western Domain were secretly gathering all their forces, planning to launch a full-scale invasion of the Southern Domain and push the war between the Two Domains from the border into the Southern Domain’s heartland.

“The Southern Domain’s heartland?”

Li Chang’an frowned. His Changqing Mountain was located in the heartland of the Southern Domain.

Originally, he hadn’t paid much attention to the war between the Two Domains. After all, it posed no threat to him and even allowed him to occasionally pick up various opportunities.

If this rumor was true.

Then things were about to get troublesome.

The Western Domain had the Five Great Sects and the Ten Great Noble Families, and its overall strength was greater than the Southern Domain’s.

For the past few years, the only reason the Cultivators of the Two Domains had been locked in a stalemate at the border was that neither side had used its full strength; they were still in a probing phase.

If both sides went all out, the Southern Domain’s chances of victory were low.

Unless a Nascent Soul Upper Sect intervened.

Otherwise, the people of the Western Domain would most likely fight their way all the way to Changqing Mountain!

Li Chang’an asked in a low voice, “Jia Yuan, do you know why the Western Domain wants to expand the war?”

“Senior, as far as I know, there are two reasons for this. The first is to push the border and bring the entire Ancient Ruins Secret Realm under the Western Domain’s control. The second is to plunder the resources of the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm.”

“Is that so…”

Li Chang’an mused for a moment.

He performed a divination and instantly felt his heart grow uneasy. An aura of blood, thicker than any he had ever seen before, appeared in his mind’s eye.

This was an omen of great chaos!

The rumors Jia Yuan had heard must be true!

’A little chaos in the Cultivation Immortality Realm is acceptable; after all, there are more opportunities in chaotic times. But it can’t get too chaotic, or I won’t be able to cultivate in peace.’

At this thought.

Li Chang’an immediately used his various Puppets to warn the Cyan Cloud Sect, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and others.

If the Southern Domain prepared in advance, they probably wouldn’t be pushed all the way back to their heartland.

’If they really do push into the heartland, then I’ll have no choice but to abandon my sanctuary on Changqing Mountain and find a safer, quieter area.’

Li Chang’an thought for a long time, planning an escape route for the future.

「In the following days.」

Thanks to Li Chang’an’s warning, the various Sects and Noble Families of the Southern Domain gradually began to stir.

The Mu Family Patriarch, Mu Chengsong, summoned numerous Mu Clan Members to the main hall and explained that the war between the Two Domains was very likely to expand, evolving into a bloody war of annihilation.

Upon hearing this, worried expressions appeared on the faces of all the Mu Clan Members.

The Mu Family was currently weak and desperately needed time to recuperate and build up its strength.

But the incessant warfare.

Gave the Mu Family no time to rest.

If the war between the Two Domains expanded, it was very likely that some Golden Core Influences would be wiped out.

The current Mu Family.

Was one of the influences most likely to be annihilated!
