Eternal Life by Daily Divination

"Everyone, stop. Have faith in Yuanchen."

"Ancestor..."

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

They simply couldn’t imagine how Li Chang’an alone could possibly face off against the hundreds of menacing Western Cultivators.

Outside Red Leaf Valley.

The numerous Western Cultivators also noticed Li Chang’an.

Black Snake Master laughed. "Isn’t this the Mu Family’s Golden Core Seed? Why have you walked out of Red Leaf Valley all by yourself? Don’t tell me you want to surrender to our Western Domain?"

"That’s simple. Just sign this Spirit Contract, and I’ll spare your life. I’ll even let you raise my Spiritual Snakes for me!"

As he spoke, he tossed a Spirit Contract, which landed right in front of Li Chang’an.

This act was, of course, meant to humiliate both Li Chang’an and the Mu Family.

If Li Chang’an actually signed it, it would be a huge blow to the Mu Family’s morale.

Black Snake Master jeered, "Well, Celestial Pride of the Mu Family, are you going to sign it or not? If you just sign, you can..."

Before he could finish his sentence,

Li Chang’an’s aura surged, instantly breaking through to the Golden Core Realm as a cyan light flashed in his hand.

"Celestial Wood Immortal Wheel, go!"

The immortal wheel shot out like a bolt of cyan lightning, tearing through the night sky and instantly slamming into Black Snake Master.

He couldn’t dodge in time. The protective Treasures around his body shattered as he was blasted toward the horizon, nearly torn in two!

Seeing this, a silence fell both inside and outside Red Leaf Valley.

The members of the Mu Clan were dumbfounded, unable to believe what they were seeing.

"Yuanchen, he... he’s a Golden Core Cultivator?"

"When did he break through?"

They all wore dazed expressions. The shock of the scene before them was so powerful it felt like a dream.

Outside Red Leaf Valley, the Western Cultivators were equally incredulous.

Black Snake Master was the strongest among them.

Yet he had been sent flying to the horizon by a single, casual strike from Li Chang’an.

At this moment, Black Snake Master’s face was flushed red with fury.

"Good, good, good! Mu Yuanchen, do you think reaching the Golden Core Stage means you can challenge me? Today, I’ll show you that even a genius like you can’t fight above your rank in the Golden Core Stage!"

He formed hand seals, his aura erupting as the Magical Power of a Middle Stage Golden Core Cultivator surged out, forming tens of thousands of phantom Spiritual Snakes around him.

The next instant, countless phantom Spiritual Snakes blotted out the sky. Each snake was like a drop of seawater, forming tidal wave after tidal wave that crashed down on Li Chang’an.

A Celestial Grade Magic: Spiritual Serpent Tide!

The endless swarm of Spiritual Snakes instantly submerged Li Chang’an’s figure, threatening to devour him completely.

But he remained as steadfast as a mountain.

The Celestial Wood Immortal Shield glowed brightly with a cyan light, firmly protecting him amidst the raging tide.

A wheel of cyan light materialized in his hand, becoming the Celestial Wood Immortal Wheel. With an incomparably domineering and fierce aura, it tore through the air!

Seeing this, Black Snake Master bellowed.

"Hundred Snake Scale Shield!"

In an instant, palm-sized, dark snake scales materialized in front of him, shielding his entire body.

This was also a Celestial Grade Magic.

BOOM!

The two spells of Magic collided under the night sky.

The Hundred Snake Scale Shield instantly shattered. Black Snake Master’s whole body convulsed, his internal organs rattled, and his face turned deathly pale.

He let out a muffled grunt. He had failed to completely block the attack, and a trickle of blood escaped the corner of his mouth.

"This is impossible!"

Black Snake Master was shaken to the core.

To quickly suppress Li Chang’an, he had used the strongest Celestial Grade Magic from Hundred Beasts Valley.

But Li Chang’an was still completely unharmed, while he himself was badly injured.

’An Early Stage of Golden Core defeating a Middle Stage of Golden Core?’

Black Snake Master refused to believe it, but the facts were right in front of him. After all, he was the one who had been defeated!

Wiping the blood from his mouth, he shouted, "Daoist Fang, Snake King, this kid is strange! Attack him with me!"

"Alright!"

The Array Master, Fang Mao, and the Tier Three Early Stage Snake King both responded.

Two men and one snake joined forces to deal with Li Chang’an!

Li Chang’an showed no fear. With a composed expression, the cyan light appeared in his hand once more.

In an instant, the earth began to shake, and dust billowed into the air.

Hundreds of Cyan Yuan Profound Vines, each hundreds of yards long, burst from the ground like countless giant cyan pythons. With terrifying force, they suddenly entangled the Tier Three Snake King.

"This is bad!"

The Snake King’s face filled with alarm. It struggled with all its might, unleashing a series of Demon Techniques to painstakingly shatter a few of the Cyan Yuan Profound Vines in an attempt to break free.

But in the next moment, even more Cyan Yuan Profound Vines appeared, binding it tighter and tighter.

"Help me!"

It cried out in panic, begging for aid.

Fang Mao immediately turned, gathering his Magical Power to help it tear apart the Cyan Yuan Profound Vines.

But before the Snake King could escape, a large, invisible net fell from the sky, firmly trapping Fang Mao.

Fang Mao’s expression changed drastically, and he also cried for help, "Daoist Black Snake, I’m trapped by Mu Yuanchen’s Magical Treasure! Quickly, save me!"

He cast several spells of Magic, trying to tear the net, but to no avail.

Just as Black Snake Master was about to rescue him, he found himself trapped in a cage formed by countless Cyan Yuan Profound Vines.

Li Chang’an’s expression was cold. With a single thought...

"Crush!"

The large net suddenly contracted. Trapped within, Fang Mao was instantly crushed by countless fine threads into a pile of mangled flesh and blood.

A Golden Core glinted within the gore.

A cultivator’s Golden Core contains a vast amount of Magical Power. It is coveted by many Demon Cultivators and can also be used to feed Demon Beasts.

"Come!"

Li Chang’an raised his hand and beckoned, collecting the Golden Core and Storage Pouch.

This was the first time he had obtained a complete Golden Core.

Previously, his methods had always been so ruthless that he almost always shattered both the cultivator and their Golden Core together.

Then, his figure flickered and he entered the cage of Cyan Yuan Profound Vines. He unleashed several spells of Magic, beating the trapped Black Snake Master to the brink of death.

"Wood Seed, condense!"

With a grim expression, Li Chang’an forcibly suppressed Black Snake Master and drove the Wood Seed into his body.

Now that he was a Golden Core Master who had condensed an Immortal Golden Core, the power of his Magic was far greater than before.

After just a few breaths, Black Snake Master had become his Puppet.

’Time to send him back.’

With a thought, Li Chang’an controlled Black Snake Master, making him tear open the cage of Cyan Yuan Profound Vines and use an Escape Technique to flee into the distance.

The Tier Three Snake King’s face filled with despair. It roared, "Black Snake, save me!"

"Snake King, you’re on your own!"

Without a backward glance, Black Snake Master abandoned the Snake King and the hundreds of Western Cultivators, disappearing over the horizon in the blink of an eye.
