Eternal Life by Daily Divination

Li Chang’an’s eyes were calm as he swept his gaze across all of Yellow Crane Mountain.

Countless Array Patterns and Array Treasures hidden within the void were laid bare before his eyes.

The Mountain Protection Array of Yellow Crane Mountain was no match for the array at the Mu Clan Territory.

It only had two Tier Three Top Grade Grand Arrays.

’It seems Huang He Master never intended to seriously manage the Yellow Crane Mountain Lineage, merely using it as a tool to rake in Spirit Stones and Treasures.’

Additionally, there were two Tier Three Middle Grade and two Low Grade Arrays each.

With a mere thought, Li Chang’an took control over all of Yellow Crane Mountain’s Arrays from the hands of the Puppet, He Qianshan.

Throughout this process,

not a single person on Yellow Crane Mountain noticed a thing.

All of Yellow Crane Mountain was still immersed in the joyous atmosphere of the Core Formation Ceremony.

Cultivators from every faction transformed into streaks of light, cutting across the sky and landing on Changqing Mountain to present their congratulatory gifts to Xiahou Qian.

Representatives from the Three Great Sects and the Seven Great Noble Families were all in attendance.

Although Huang He Master was trapped deep within some ruins, none of them believed he would perish there. They expected him to escape the perilous lands sooner or later and return to Yellow Crane Immortal City.

In any case,

the Yellow Crane Mountain Lineage was worth befriending.

Liang Chang of the Cyan Cloud Sect laughed. "Congratulations, Daoist Xiahou. To succeed in Core Formation at such a young age, your future is surely boundless!"

"It is merely a Fake Pill. My Magical Power can no longer advance, so I can only place my hopes in the next generation."

Xiahou Qian sighed, a sense of resentment in his heart.

Even Li Chang’an, with his Low Grade Spirit Root, had managed to form a True Pill.

Yet he, a genius with a Top Grade Spirit Root, had suffered a mishap during his Core Formation and was forced down the worst possible path of the Fake Pill, becoming a Fake Pill Master just like his father.

Back when Li Chang’an was undergoing his Core Formation, he had secretly vowed that the quality of his Pill would surely surpass Li Chang’an’s.

But now, it had all become a joke.

Xiahou Hong was also somewhat disappointed, but he didn’t let it show. He maintained a wide smile as he received the guests from the various factions.

「Before long.」

The Golden Core Masters from the various Sects and Noble Families had all arrived.

With so many Golden Core Masters gathered in one place, the atmosphere was exceptionally lively.

They all noticed that some Golden Core Masters were not present.

For example, the Tier Three Divination Master Wang Chunfeng. This man had once been a friend of the Yellow Crane Mountain Lineage, but after sacrificing a hundred years of his lifespan for Xiahou Hong, he had never again lent his aid to Yellow Crane Mountain.

"Strange, now that you mention it."

"Who exactly was the one who killed Xiahou Kun back then?"

"Even Wang Chunfeng, a Tier Three Divination Master, couldn’t deduce it. Instead, he suffered a backlash, which means that person must possess an astonishing Treasure."

"It must have been that Ye Hao..."

After some discussion, they all agreed that Ye Hao was the most likely culprit.

Over the past few years,

Ye Hao had never stopped targeting the Yellow Crane Mountain Lineage.

No one from the Huanghe Alliance had shown up to today’s ceremony, either.

"Besides Ye Hao, Li Chang’an is also a possibility."

"Today, Li Chang’an didn’t come, nor did he even send one of his Foundation Establishment subordinates."

"How could he possibly come? This place has a Tier Three Top Grade Grand Array!"

The mention of Li Chang’an caused a shift in the atmosphere.

Everyone present knew.

Xiahou Hong had already developed a Heart Demon because of Li Chang’an.

If that weren’t the case, he wouldn’t have remained cooped up on Yellow Crane Mountain, never daring to take a single step off it.

"’It’s incredible how their roles have reversed so quickly. Now Xiahou Hong has become the Turtle, but I suppose he brought it on himself...’"

The crowd exchanged Sound Transmissions, not daring to speak their thoughts aloud.

On the surface,

they were all still wreathed in smiles, offering endless congratulations.

Soon.

It was noon.

All the expected guests had arrived, and Yellow Crane Mountain was filled to capacity.

The Core Formation Ceremony officially began!

Xiahou Qian sat in the host’s seat, with the others in the guests’ seats. Everything was similar to Li Chang’an’s own Core Formation Ceremony.

Next,

the guests were supposed to rise and offer their congratulations.

But at that very moment, a figure appeared on Yellow Crane Mountain, exuding the aura of the Golden Core realm.

It was Li Chang’an!

His appearance directly interrupted the proceedings of the Core Formation Ceremony, causing the entire scene to fall silent for a moment.

The smile on Xiahou Hong’s face instantly froze. He stared intently at Li Chang’an as panic and fear rose in his heart, coalescing into a Heart Demon in Li Chang’an’s likeness that sent a chill down his spine.

But he quickly came to his senses.

’This is Yellow Crane Mountain! It’s protected by a Tier Three Top Grade Grand Array!’

He immediately felt a surge of confidence and shouted, "Li Chang’an, what do you think you’re doing?"

Li Chang’an’s expression was indifferent as he glanced at him.

"Xiahou Hong, back then you cast aside all face and used your strength to bully the weak. I have come here today, naturally, to demand an explanation!"

Everyone present was already aware of the enmity between the two.

Hearing Li Chang’an’s words, the crowd had varied expressions.

The faces of Du Han, Nie Yu, and others turned grim. After all, they too had feuds with Li Chang’an.

Now, Li Chang’an had suddenly come to Yellow Crane Mountain to demand an explanation.

In a little while, he might just come to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect or the Red Flame Sect to demand an explanation from them as well!

"’To think this brat would dare leave his turtle shell and take the initiative to attack Yellow Crane Mountain. I’m afraid he must have something to rely on.’"

"’Could it be that the Tier Three Array Master backing him has also come?’"

"’However, the Yellow Crane Mountain Lineage isn’t so easy to deal with. Whether he can leave Yellow Crane Mountain alive today is another question...’"

Nie Yu, Du Han, Mu Yan, and the others all exchanged Sound Transmissions.

Naturally, they all hoped Li Chang’an would die on Yellow Crane Mountain.

Meanwhile, Li Chang’an’s many friends were worried about the situation.

The Spiritual Land of a Golden Core Influence was not so easily attacked.

It would be very difficult to take it down with the strength of one person alone.

Zhang Qingfeng sent a Sound Transmission, asking, "Daoist Li, are you confident? If not, you should retreat as soon as possible."

"Don’t worry. A mere Yellow Crane Mountain poses no threat to me."

Li Chang’an replied via Sound Transmission.
