Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Teng Ying’s gaze remained fixed on Zi Xi.

In his eyes,

only Zi Xi was worthy of being his opponent.

As for the others—be it Zi Yun, Wu Shuo, or Li Chang’an—he had long since dismissed them.

Of course,

this was precisely the effect Li Chang’an wanted.

His eyes were profound as he carefully observed the churning pool of blood around them.

This Yellow Spring Bone Transformation Array was unlike any Array he had ever broken before.

This Array was particularly strange, and it was perfectly intact, without the slightest flaw.

’Teng Ying was right. Not even a true Tier Four Array Master could break this Array easily.’

Li Chang’an analyzed the situation in silence.

A dozen or so breaths passed in the blink of an eye.

The pendant’s light faded completely, and with a sharp CRACK, it shattered before their eyes.

Just before it shattered,

Zi Xi activated a second Treasure to continue holding back the power of the Yellow Spring Bone Transformation Array.

Teng Ying cackled. ”Zi Xi, give up! This is not an Array you can break. I’ll give you one chance. If you’re willing to submit to me and become a mole for my Yellow Springs Sect, I can spare your life!”

Inside the Array,

Zi Xi remained silent, quietly waiting for Li Chang’an to break the Array.

The others were incredibly anxious, but they all kept quiet, afraid of disturbing Zi Xi’s concentration.

In the blink of an eye, the second Treasure was also about to shatter.

Zi Xi’s expression remained calm as she activated a third Treasure.

Time flew by.

Soon,

she had already used over a dozen Treasures.

All the while, Teng Ying’s voice would occasionally ring out, trying to persuade her to give up.

But she paid him no mind, not even once opening her mouth to hurry Li Chang’an.

Just then,

Li Chang’an finally figured out a way to break the Array.

If he were breaking the Array himself, it wouldn’t have taken nearly this long. But since he wanted Zi Xi to do it for him, he had to be more thorough in his considerations.

”Saintess, use seven Tier Four Talismans to strike these seven locations, then erase these specific Array Patterns...”

Li Chang’an relayed everything he saw, along with his plan for Array-Breaking, to Zi Xi.

Without a hint of doubt, Zi Xi immediately took out seven Talismans.

In the next instant,

a dazzling golden light erupted.

The power of the seven Talismans transformed into seven golden Long Spears, striking seven weak points of the Yellow Spring Bone Transformation Array in unison.

BOOM!

The entire Array instantly destabilized, showing signs of collapse as numerous Array Patterns and Array Treasures became visible.

With sharp eyes and swift hands, Zi Xi quickly erased the Array Patterns Li Chang’an had pointed out and snatched a dazzlingly golden Array Treasure—the Gold-Transforming Marrow!

This was the very item Li Chang’an had come for.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zi Xi place it in her Storage Pouch.

’Once it’s in Zi Xi’s Storage Pouch, it’s as good as in mine. There shouldn’t be any more surprises.’

Immediately after,

Zi Xi followed Li Chang’an’s subsequent instructions and shattered the entire Grand Array in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the Yellow Spring Bone Transformation Array completely collapsed, and all the blood vanished.

”How is this possible?”

Teng Ying trembled, his face turning deathly pale as a trickle of blood escaped the corner of his mouth.

He had been pouring all his focus into the Array, intending to suppress Zi Xi with its Array Power. But the Grand Array’s sudden destruction caused a backlash, injuring him severely.

Meanwhile, Zi Xi was still at her peak.

Her eyes turned cold, a flash of killing intent within them as she sealed the space around Teng Ying with her Magical Power.

Just then,

a shadowy figure suddenly appeared. Its Speed was incredible. It instantly shattered Zi Xi’s Magical Power seal, grabbed Teng Ying, and vanished with him in the blink of an eye.

”The Nether Soul Sect’s Saint Child, Wu Zhe!”

Zi Xi’s eyes narrowed as she stared at the spot where the two had vanished.

She remained where she was, not giving chase.

There might be more of the Demon Sect’s Holy Sons and Saintesses ahead, and it would be difficult for her to handle them all on her own.

As for Wu Zhe,

Li Chang’an was no stranger to him.

’I can’t believe he’d show up here.’

Years ago, Wu Zhe and his sister, Wu Lan, had come to the Zhao Country Cultivation Immortality Realm.

The two of them had come specifically to deal with Li Chang’an.

But Li Chang’an had outmaneuvered them, forcing them to reveal their hand early. They ended up killing the Yellow Sand Sect’s Saint Child, Gu Yunqi, which brought the wrath of Huang Sha True Monarch down upon them.

After that,

the brother and sister had kept a much lower profile.

’It seems this is a stronghold established by several Demon Sects working together. After this failure, those two probably won’t make another move so recklessly.’

Li Chang’an collected his thoughts and looked over at Zi Xi.

Zi Xi was in the process of contacting Cultivators from the other Nascent Soul Influences and learned that they had all had similar encounters.

Cui Baiying, Qi Yunjin, Chang Jun, and the others had all been ambushed by the Demon Sect’s Holy Sons and Saintesses.

However,

without Li Chang’an on their side, their losses had been devastating.

After a brief discussion,

they all decided not to venture any deeper. Instead, they would let the Nascent Soul True Monarchs from their respective factions handle it.

A Tier Four Array was something meant for Nascent Soul True Monarchs. Since an Array of that Tier had appeared here, it meant the matter was already beyond their capabilities.

Zi Xi and the others were all rational people.

While they were curious about what the Demon Sect was nurturing, they weren’t about to get themselves killed over it.

”Junior Brother Wei, how are your injuries?”

Zi Xi and the group landed on the small island in the middle of the Blood River, and she began to check the injuries of her fellow Purple Mist Sect members.

Wei Renjie’s face was filled with shame as he sighed heavily.

”Senior Sister, if I had just listened to you and not been so rash, I wouldn’t have ended up like this. I almost got you captured by those Demon Sect Cultivators too.”

”It’s alright. As long as you’re alive, that’s what matters.”

Zi Xi dismissed his concerns, taking a Healing Spirit Medicine from her Storage Pouch and handing it to him.

A look of gratitude instantly appeared on Wei Renjie’s face.

He took the Spirit Medicine, his lips moving as if he wanted to say something to thank her.

But just then,

a streak of crimson light shot out from his mouth, flying straight for Zi Xi’s face.

This sudden turn of events took everyone completely by surprise.
