Eternal Life by Daily Divination-Chapter 197 - 172: Yuyan’s Return, Top-tier Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object

Chapter 197: Chapter 172: Yuyan’s Return, Top-tier Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object

Li Chang’an sat in his residence, opening a letter.

This letter was from the Cyan Cloud Sect.

Inside were a few lines written in Su Yuyan’s own hand, the calligraphy delicate and graceful.

"Brother Li, I have successfully reached Foundation Establishment. Everything is fine. Thank you for the handbook you gave me. You’re in Yellow Crane Immortal City, so please don’t worry about me..."

As he read the contents of the letter, a smile appeared on Li Chang’an’s face.

’Good. Nothing went wrong. Yuyan successfully reached Foundation Establishment.’

From now on, he had another friend at the Foundation Establishment stage.

What’s more, this friend was a Sect Elder with considerable authority, someone who could help him acquire Treasures from the Sect Treasure Vault!

This was excellent news for Li Chang’an.

Back then, after Zheng Qingqing succeeded in her Foundation Establishment, she had given him a VIP Token for the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower.

That Token had helped Li Chang’an a great deal since.

From the Cultivation Technique he practiced to the many Treasures needed for the Profound Water Turtle and Dahuang to advance, everything was connected to that Token.

’The benefits from Yuyan reaching Foundation Establishment should be no less than what that Token brought me,’ Li Chang’an mused to himself.

In the letter, Su Yuyan mentioned that she had wanted to come see him immediately.

However, her master insisted she hold a Foundation Establishment Ceremony as soon as possible.

Two Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the same lineage was enough to become a celebrated tale; it was no wonder Su Yuyan’s master valued it so highly.

Furthermore, after reaching Foundation Establishment, she had to accept her new role as an Elder and begin familiarizing herself with the duties that came with it.

Because of this, she couldn’t visit him for the time being.

She would have to wait several more months.

Li Chang’an picked up his brush and wrote back, telling her not to worry and to settle her affairs in the Sect first.

In the days that followed, the two of them corresponded frequently by letter. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

...

「More than half a year later.」

Deep within the Black Dragon Mountain Range, a new Ancient Secret Realm suddenly appeared.

That Secret Realm was rich in Water Spiritual Power and filled with lakes of all sizes, so it was named the "Thousand Lakes Secret Realm."

The appearance of this Secret Realm made Yellow Crane Immortal City much livelier than usual.

It was rumored that of the first group of Cultivators who went in to explore, more than ninety percent died!

But the few Cultivators who made it out alive had almost all reaped enormous rewards. Someone even obtained a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object that could increase the chance of Foundation Establishment Success by twenty percent!

When the news spread, countless Cultivators were stunned, and they swarmed toward the Thousand Lakes Secret Realm.

’A Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object that increases the success rate by twenty percent?’

Even Li Chang’an was tempted by the news.

This was a brand-new Secret Realm, unlike the Ancient Wood and Blood Stone Secret Realms, which had been explored for countless years. It was bound to be filled with opportunities.

However, opportunity and danger went hand in hand.

Even with his Divinations, Li Chang’an still didn’t dare to enter. He could only gather news each day.

During this period, he began frequenting the trade district, various shops, and the Black Market, hoping to stumble upon an overlooked treasure.

As time passed, more and more Cultivators arrived at Yellow Crane Immortal City.

They included disciples from the three major Immortal Sects and the Seven Great Noble Families.

They had come, of course, to explore the Secret Realm for opportunities.

Before long, Su Yuyan arrived as well.

"Brother Li!"

She wore a long, pale yellow dress and had a sweet smile. Having retracted her entire aura, she looked just like an ordinary mortal girl.

But the hidden Profound Water Turtle and Dahuang both sent a message to Li Chang’an: they could sense the aura of a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator coming from her!

Li Chang’an couldn’t help but marvel.

The timid little girl who once trailed behind him had now grown to a height that countless people could only look up to.

"Yuyan, have you taken care of everything in the Sect?"

"It’s all taken care of, don’t worry, Brother Li!" Su Yuyan responded with a beaming smile.

Her purpose in coming here today was the same as Zheng Qingqing’s before: to describe the process and share her insights on Foundation Establishment with Li Chang’an.

She spoke for a full two hours!

Li Chang’an listened very carefully, not missing a single detail.

After she finished, he became even more certain.

The trial of Foundation Establishment was no longer an issue for him.

What he needed to consider next was the issue of his Spiritual Root after he reached Foundation Establishment.

It was already quite an accomplishment for a Low Grade Spirit Root Cultivator to reach Foundation Establishment.

Advancing any further was nearly impossible.

Most were trapped at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, unable to break through for the rest of their lives!

’It’s a shame I still haven’t managed to get the method for Spirit Root Ascension out of that Evil Soul,’ Li Chang’an thought with a twinge of regret.

During this time, the Venerable Soul Banner had helped him suppress the Evil Soul, giving him another trump card at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

He had interrogated the Evil Soul many times.

But the Evil Soul’s memories were fragmented. It alternated between moments of lucidity and madness, making it impossible to get any useful information from it.

However, the Evil Soul would occasionally mutter the three words "Ancient Wood Evergreen," which seemed to be related to Spirit Root Ascension.

These three words only made Li Chang’an think of the Ancient Wood Secret Realm.

But the Ancient Wood Secret Realm was too big.

He couldn’t just go running around like a headless chicken.

With this in mind, Li Chang’an took the initiative to ask, "Yuyan, are there any records in the Cyan Cloud Sect about Spirit Root Ascension?"

"Yes," Su Yuyan said with a gentle smile, and began to explain in detail.

According to the Sect’s records, in Ancient Times, the entire Cultivation Immortality Realm was ruled by the Nine Great Sects.

These Nine Great Sects all possessed methods for elevating the Spiritual Roots of Human Race Cultivators and the bloodlines of Demon Beasts.

"These records were unearthed from various Secret Realms by the predecessors of the Cyan Cloud Sect," she explained. "They are a core secret of the Sect, unknown to ordinary disciples."

If Su Yuyan hadn’t successfully advanced to Foundation Establishment, she wouldn’t have known about these things.

By all rights, these secrets were not to be shared with any Loose Cultivators.

But she didn’t care in the slightest, telling Li Chang’an everything without reservation.

"It’s just a pity that there seems to be a gap in history between the Ancient Cultivation Immortality Realm and the Cultivation Realm of today. Many things have been lost, including the methods for elevating Spiritual Roots and bloodline quality."
