Eternal Life by Daily Divination

The white-robed Golden Core Cultivator then spoke up, ”Brother, you’ve already collected thousands of beautiful female cultivators. Isn’t that enough? Why don’t you let me have Daoist Ou?”

The black-robed cultivator let out a sinister laugh. ”Heh heh, I may have thousands of female cultivators, but all of them put together can’t compare to Daoist Ou.”

As the two brothers argued, the magic they were casting slowed, nearly giving Ou Lingshan a chance to escape.

Fan Wenlong frowned. ”Enough. Stop arguing. Once we’ve captured Ou Lingshan, you two can decide on an order and take turns cultivating with her.”

Hearing this, the two thought it was a fine idea and stopped their bickering.

But then, the Tier Three Ox Demon suddenly spoke up.

”Daoist Ou has skin like an immortal and bones of jade. Her beauty is out of this world. This old ox wants a taste, too.”

”Fine, you’re in!”

The two brothers agreed readily.

Listening to them, Ou Lingshan’s beautiful face filled with disgust and killing intent. She wished she could slaughter them all, but alas, she lacked the strength.

She had already made up her mind.

If she couldn’t escape, she would find a way to take one of them down with her. No matter what, she could not let them capture her alive.

’Thank goodness Daoist Li isn’t here. Otherwise, I would just drag him down with me.’

Ou Lingshan sighed to herself.

If nothing unexpected happened in tonight’s battle, she would likely never see Li Chang’an again.

Little did she know, Li Chang’an was high in the sky above, silently watching the battle unfold.

He didn’t intervene directly. Instead, he had quietly entered Mandarin Duck Immortal City and swept through it to confirm there were no other Golden Core Cultivators present.

In that time, Ou Lingshan was gravely wounded once more.

She gritted her teeth, a resolute glint in her beautiful eyes. She knew she couldn’t wait until her strength was completely spent to make her last stand.

Now was the perfect time to risk it all.

She was about to burn her own life force to try and break through the encirclement of Fan Wenlong and his group.

But just then, a fiery light suddenly flared before her eyes.

BOOM!

Raging flames instantly formed a cage, trapping the four combatants and the Ox Demon within.

Celestial Grade Magic—Profound Celestial Fire Domain!

This magic was from the Zhou Family’s Library Pavilion.

Li Chang’an cast it using the principle of Wood generating Fire from the Five Elements Mutual Production Method, augmenting it with the Pill Fire Manipulation Technique he used for alchemy. The resulting power was astounding.

The crimson light of the fire instantly illuminated more than half the night sky.

”Who’s there?”

”Which fellow Daoist has interfered? I am Fan Wenlong of Mandarin Duck Valley!”

Both sides immediately ceased their attacks.

The expressions on Fan Wenlong and his group turned grim as they sensed the newcomer’s immense power.

Ou Lingshan, however, wore a look of astonishment, for she recognized this magic.

’Profound Celestial Fire Domain... isn’t that the signature magic of the Zhou Family? Why would it appear here? Who could it be?’

’The Zhou Family has no Core Formation Cultivators; they rely on a Tier Three Demon King just to keep up appearances.’

’But the person who just intervened is clearly a Golden Core Master.’

This was the source of her confusion.

Suddenly, she felt a tremendous force strike her, flinging her out of the cage in an instant.

The surging flames blocked both her vision and her Divine Sense, preventing her from seeing what was happening inside the prison.

Inside the fiery prison, only the three from Mandarin Duck Valley and the demon remained.

Seeing this, Fan Wenlong and the others understood the newcomer’s allegiance.

”It’s a Southern Domain Cultivator!”

”Everyone, help me break this Fire Prison!”

”Right!”

They immediately joined forces and unleashed their magic. Surges of Golden Core Magical Power battered the cage as they tried to break through the Profound Celestial Fire Domain.

But just then, a figure descended from the sky, slamming a fist into the Tier Three Ox Demon.

”AWOOOO—”

The Ox Demon let out a wretched howl. The single punch had shattered its powerful Demon Body, and it collapsed to the ground on the spot.

The horrifying scene made the other three’s scalps go numb with fear.

Suppressing a Demon King with a single punch!

There was no one like that in the entire Western Domain.

”Fall back! This person has achieved Tier Three Body Refinement! Don’t engage him in close combat!”

”Hurry up and break this Fire Prison!”

The three of them, led by Fan Wenlong, were horrified. Not daring to fight him head-on, they frantically cast their magic, trying to hold Li Chang’an back.

However, before they could break through the Fire Prison, stalks of Cyan Yuan Profound Vine rose from within the flames. They formed a second cage, consuming the space the men had to struggle in.

The three men discovered to their shock that they couldn’t break through the two cages even with their combined, full-powered attacks.

Their opponent’s Magical Power was clearly even more formidable than his physique.

’How can a monster like this exist?’

Fan Wenlong silently cursed his luck.

’This person must be a Celestial Pride from a Nascent Soul Major Sect, perhaps even a Saint Child from the Purple Mist Sect. And I just had to run into him.’

”Daoist Fan, what do we do?”

”Both of you, burn your life essence now! Otherwise, we’re all dead today!”

Without a moment’s hesitation, Fan Wenlong began to burn his life essence. A blood-red glow enveloped his body as his aura skyrocketed.

The other two exchanged a look, gritted their teeth, and also began burning their life essence.

But to their despair, even frantically burning their life essence, they still couldn’t break through the cage.

After just a few breaths, all three were bound, completely powerless to resist.

Li Chang’an emerged from the flames and shot out four Wood Seeds, one for each of the three men and the Tier Three Ox Demon, bringing them under his control.

When Fan Wenlong saw his face, he was so shocked he couldn’t believe his eyes.

”How could it be you?”

”Daoist Fan, I heard you were looking to kill me, so I came to you.”

Li Chang’an replied nonchalantly.

Hearing this, Fan Wenlong froze as if struck by lightning.

He had only been running his mouth, never expecting Li Chang’an to actually show up at his door.

Before he could even think of how to beg for mercy, branches and roots sprouted from the Wood Seed and covered his entire body, turning him into a helpless Puppet.

The other two men and the Ox Demon likewise became Puppets.

”Come!”

With a beckoning gesture, Li Chang’an collected their Storage Pouches and Spirit Beast Bags, opening them one by one to inspect the contents.

He naturally helped himself to the many Treasures inside that were useful to him.

As for Ou Lingshan’s brother, Ou Lingcan, he was inside Fan Wenlong’s Spirit Beast Bag, unconscious.

’This kid must have suffered quite a bit.’

Although Ou Lingcan was still alive, he had withered away to skin and bones.

His Qi and blood were deficient, his Magical Power was faint, and his body was severely depleted. He looked nothing like a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in his prime.

In the years since his capture, who knows how many female cultivators from the Western Domain had ravaged him.
