Eternal Life by Daily Divination - Chapter 311 - 208: Earth Grade Escape Technique, Cyan Profound Spirit Liquid
「Three days later.」
Chen Huilan’s funeral was held in a small Mortal Country.
It was the land of her birth.
She, like Li Chang’an, had once walked the difficult path of Cultivation Immortality before finally joining an Immortal Sect.
“Master, may your journey be peaceful.”
Su Yuyan’s eyes were red as she buried Chen Huilan’s ashes.
Next to her grave stood another old, weathered mound.
Buried in that mound was the elder brother who had first led her on the path to seek immortality.
Li Chang’an stood quietly to the side, gazing at the two graves and recalling the regrets Chen Huilan had spoken of before her death.
Before long, many members of the Cyan Cloud Sect came forward to pay their respects one by one.
Xie Jiang and Yuan Shan watched from a distance.
The two exchanged a look and began to communicate secretly via Sound Transmission.
“That old hag is finally dead.”
“With her dead, no one can protect Li Chang’an anymore. Perhaps we can push that matter from before once again.”
The reason the two had instigated the previous uproar wasn’t really because Li Chang’an had shown contempt for the Cyan Cloud Sect, but because they worried he held a grudge against them.
After all, they had been the ones to shut the door on Li Chang’an back then, forcing him to become a low-level Loose Cultivator.
Now, however, Li Chang’an’s strength was extraordinary. If he were to retaliate against them, both of them would suffer greatly, and might even face the threat of death.
“Could we use Cao Shaolong as a reason to have the Sect’s Law Enforcement Hall arrest Li Chang’an?”
“Cao Shaolong was killed by a Demon Beast, but he did have a feud with Li Chang’an when he was alive. We might be able to use that, but it’s a bit of a stretch…”
The two continued their secret Sound Transmission, each pondering a way to deal with him.
…
Li Chang’an was unaware of their thoughts.
If he knew, he would only find it laughable.
Over the years, the enemies he had killed were almost exclusively those who had shown him hostility.
He had no particular feelings about those two old fools. After all, they had merely been following the Cyan Cloud Sect’s rules for selecting disciples back then.
They did have some friction back in the Cao Clan Territory, but it wasn’t enough to make Li Chang’an want to kill them.
After the funeral ended, Li Chang’an returned to the Cultivation Immortality Realm and went back to Changqing Mountain to continue his cultivation.
In the following years, Changqing Mountain remained relatively peaceful, but the Zhao Country Cultivation Immortality Realm as a whole descended further into chaos.
Demon Beasts attacked frequently, Tribulation Cultivators ran rampant everywhere, and from time to time, entire families and sects were wiped out. The bloody glow on the horizon never diminished in the slightest.
Unwittingly, more than three years passed.
On this day, a piece of news spread through the Black Market.
The Five Poison Wanderer had successfully broken through to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment!
The moment this news broke, both the Righteous Influences and the Tribulation Cultivator factions in the surrounding regions grew uneasy.
A Poison Cultivator at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment was practically invincible within the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Because of this, the five Foundation Establishment Cultivators of Cui Ping Mountain gathered for a special meeting to discuss it.
Xiang Chisong spoke with a grave expression, “That old poison master’s Poison Techniques have improved yet again. Everyone must be more careful from now on. Do not provoke the Five Poison Wanderer Lineage.”
“In these chaotic times, it’s the perfect opportunity for that old poison master to shine. I fear he might have a chance to find an opportunity for Core Formation amidst this great turmoil.”
“Indeed.”
Everyone couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
In the past, when the Cultivation Immortality Realm was still orderly, even the Five Poison Wanderer wouldn’t have dared to act so wantonly.
But now, chaos was everywhere, with slaughter and bloodshed being omnipresent.
The Three Great Sects and the Seven Great Noble Families had all suffered heavy losses and had no mind to deal with Tribulation Cultivators like the Five Poison Wanderer.
In fact, there were rumors that Yellow Crane Immortal City, the Three Great Sects, and the Seven Great Noble Families had all secretly sent people to contact the Five Poison Wanderer, attempting to recruit him into the ranks of the Righteous Influences.
No matter how many evil deeds he had committed in the past, as long as he was willing to turn over a new leaf, he could enjoy the treatment of an Honored Guest Elder among the major Righteous Influences.
Simply because his strength was worthy of such treatment.
As long as no Golden Core Cultivators made a move, almost no one could deal with him.
Xiang Chisong added, “I’ve heard that the Five Poison Wanderer is looking for a Tribulation Cultivator named Li Fan. Everyone should be on the lookout and not let that Li Fan infiltrate the forces under your command.”
“Rest assured, Daoist Xiang, I will be careful.”
Li Chang’an said solemnly.
Two hours later.
The gathering came to an end, and everyone returned to their respective main peaks.
Li Chang’an and Jiang Muyu returned to Changqing Mountain to continue their cultivation.
…
「Three days later.」
Li Chang’an instructed Jiang Muyu to watch over their home.
He then left Changqing Mountain and headed for the Black Market.
Along the way, he took out a Tier Two Puppet as usual. He draped it with a false skin made using the Skin Painting Technique, transforming the Puppet into an unfamiliar Foundation Establishment Tribulation Cultivator.
His Skin Painting Technique had long since advanced to Tier Two. Combined with his other concealment methods, no Foundation Establishment Cultivator could possibly see through his true identity.
His trip to the Black Market was not for scavenging for overlooked treasures, but to attend the Five Poison Wanderer’s small celebration.
Breaking through to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment was always a major event, simply because this realm was not far from the Golden Core stage.
Any cultivator at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment had the potential to break through to the Golden Core.
Today, many factions had sent representatives to congratulate the Five Poison Wanderer.
’It’s really bustling.’
The moment Li Chang’an arrived at the Black Market, he sensed an atmosphere far more lively than ever before.
He never would have imagined that the Black Market could have such a lively day.
Deep within the Black Market, in a rather large secret chamber,
the Five Poison Wanderer sat on a high seat, flanked by the numerous disciples of the Five Poison Lineage.
People came forward one after another, presenting congratulatory gifts and conversing with him.
Li Chang’an saw many familiar faces.
’The Mo Feng siblings, Wu Ming from Withered Wood Cliff, and also Ye Hao and Jiang Yunsheng…’
He stood silently in a corner, observing the strength of the Five Poison Wanderer Lineage.
The Five Poison Wanderer, Tang Hong, sitting on the high seat, gave him a sense of danger.
’A Poison Cultivator at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment is truly extraordinary. I should avoid fighting this person as much as possible in the future.’
