Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 391 Ominous Signs Appear
Three years have passed since the death of the previous Blood Spirit Mother.

During these three years, Li Ji'an's blood and qi improved again. In addition to his physique at the mid-stage of the third-order body refinement, his blood and qi power was further strengthened by the true dragon's essence blood devouring the phoenix blood.

Most importantly, when he unleashed the Demon Suppression Fist with his mid-stage third-tier physique, there was already a faint trace of true dragon bloodlust attached to it, making it even more powerful and fierce than his own Daoist charm and fist intent.

His Golden Core cultivation has also improved significantly compared to when he was in the Azure Cloud Sect. After twenty-eight years of Core Formation, he can already look forward to the middle stage of Golden Core.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary downstream True Core cultivators need to accumulate for about a hundred years in the early stage of Core Formation before they have any hope of advancing to the middle stage. They also need a lot of auxiliary cultivation pills and spiritual resources, and most of them will stop at the early stage of Core Formation.

If a mid-to-upper-level True Core cultivator has sufficient spiritual resources, they can expect to advance in eighty years.

Li Ji'an, on the other hand, has a chance of achieving the Golden Elixir in sixty years.

The current progress has exceeded his expectations.

Of course, the abundant spiritual resources provided to him by the Blood Spirit Sect's millennia-long history were key.

At least during this period, most of the spiritual herbs used to enhance the Core Formation stage were obtained from the Blood Spirit Sect's treasury and refined by him.

In addition to elixirs, he also plundered a batch of third-tier puppet materials and high-tier talisman materials from the Blood Spirit Sect's treasury, greatly enriching his arsenal.

He was originally planning to have a more detailed discussion with Ning Sujin about the foundation-building process of the Chaos Law.

A year ago, Ning Sujin reached the Qi Refining stage of the Chaos Technique and was finally able to plan her Foundation Establishment.

Unfortunately, the foundation building stage differs between the Chaos Method and the Five Elements Method.

In Xuan Yuan Tianjun's insights and reflections, the biggest difference between the Chaos Method Foundation Building and the Five Elements Method Foundation Building is that the Chaos Qi in the Qi Refining stage remains gaseous after Foundation Building, rather than being liquid in the Five Elements Method.

However, the process also requires powerful spiritual pressure to squeeze and refine, making the innate chaotic energy even purer.

However, there are many details that need to be paid attention to.

Li Ji'an's foundation-building experience is of much less use at this time.

Ning Sujin cannot start over, therefore, the foundation-building stage is of paramount importance.

"Husband, let's put aside my Foundation Establishment for now and deal with this crisis properly first." Ning Sujin's expression turned serious after reading the communication talisman in Li Ji'an's hand.

Just as Li Ji'an finished reading the message talisman and was making a decision, she sensed an ominous sign about him.

Moreover, this time her ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune was unable to accurately determine good or bad fortune, and there was a clear lag.

Normally, if someone's intentions or decisions could potentially affect Li Ji'an's fortune, given her current closeness with Li Ji'an, she would naturally react immediately.

However, this time, it only vaguely appeared after Li Ji'an finished reading the message talisman.

Moreover, it is quite obvious that there is a fog-like obstruction in this passive sensing.

This was only the second time she had encountered this situation after she gained the ability to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune.

The first time was several years ago in the Dragon Burial Cave. After Li Ji'an expressed her intention to cultivate a true dragon of the world, she took the initiative to perform divination. As a result, she not only encountered strong obstacles, but was also instantly backfired.

Although she did not experience any backlash this time even though she actively performed divination, the sense of obstruction was still very obvious.

Li Ji'an frowned slightly as he looked at Ning Sujin: "Is there a sense of obstruction that blocks the secrets of heaven? But there's no backlash?"

"I don't know if my divination skills are insufficient, or if the other party is also proficient in this art and far surpasses me," Ning Sujin said, expressing her guess.

"Far beyond your divination skills?" Li Ji'an frowned even more deeply.

The next moment, he suddenly looked up.

"go!"

Ning Sujin's words just now made him feel a strong sense of crisis.

Combining the messages between Xiao Changfeng and Xiao Qiao, he couldn't help but think of the worst possible outcome. Both Xiao Changfeng and Xiao Qiao were sending him the same message: a senior from the Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce in the Myriad Business Domain had arrived and was inquiring about his past life.

And he also put him, his disciple from a previous life, to the test in many ways.

Twenty-eight years ago in Feihong Immortal City of the Wanshang Domain, he formed his Golden Core under the identity of Huang Jie, and at that time, Chun Yuan Shangren, Tong Shangren and others tried to win him over.

He had always thought that the other party was just after his opportunity.

As a result, after gradually digesting the fragments of Wanfa Zhenjun's divine soul memories over the years, he learned that Beixuan Zhenjun not only chose Wanfa Zhenjun to search for those favored by the gods in the world, but also Tong Shangren from the Wanshang Domain.

Li Ji'an is still unsure who this Bei Xuan Zhenjun is, who can command the respect of Wan Fa Zhenjun, who is also a Nascent Soul True Monarch, and who can casually provide spiritual resources for advancing to the mid-Nascent Soul stage and opportunities for Nascent Soul transformation. However, the danger he poses to Li Ji'an is definitely at its maximum.

Since Master Tong failed to leave behind "Huang Jie" back then, he will surely spare no effort to find him.

When Li Ji'an went to Wanshang Domain to avoid disaster, he accidentally met Guo Wanzhi and Yao Rui. Later, he wanted to rely on the favors he had accumulated in his previous life with the Sishui Chamber of Commerce and the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce to have a good cultivation environment, so he had to connect with his previous life.

This means that after "Huang Jie" disappeared, those who cared about "Huang Jie" would inevitably trace it back to his past life.

However, Li Ji'an originally thought that his identity in this world should not have anything to do with "Huang Jie". Even if someone came to investigate, one was a mid-level True Core cultivator and the other was a Golden Core cultivator, so he should be able to deceive everyone.

Because of this thought, he didn't think much of it when he received the messages from Xiao Changfeng and Xiao Qiao.

Even if Master Tong or the old thief Chun Yuan were in front of him, he could easily deceive them with his various methods of concealing his Core Formation aura.

But Ning Sujin's reminder suddenly reminded him of the legendary great cultivator he had never met, the Northern Profound True Monarch.

If it were True Lord Beixuan in person, his methods would probably seem like child's play.

It might even be just one of the treasures of the Northern Mystic True Lord, which could probably expose his true nature.

As soon as Li Ji'an spoke, Ning Sujin agreed without hesitation.

That day, after giving Xue Yuan some instructions, Li Ji'an and Ning Sujin headed north without looking back.

Moreover, after they took this action, Ning Sujin consulted the oracle again. Although there was still a sense of lag and obstruction, this time it was a clear auspicious omen.

This time, Li Ji'an decided to go to the Yellow Heaven Domain, which is located north of the Heavenly Azure Domain.

Tong Shangren and Chun Yuan, the old thief, have never come to Biyun Sect to investigate their past lives for so many years. Their sudden appearance now is clearly out of fear of the Golden Puppet Saint and the Blood Spirit Saint Mother.

Several years ago, the Golden Puppet Saint King went to the Central Ten Domains again, while the Blood Spirit Saint Mother was stationed in the Heavenly Azure Domain.

Three years ago, news of the Blood Spirit Mother's death spread, but given the caution of Master Tong and the old thief Chun Yuan, they must have been worried about a trap. Only now, when they probably have definite news, do they dare to come here.

This suggests that this was not initiated by the Northern Mystic True Lord, but most likely by two old thieves who reported on the situation regarding "Huang Jie".

In the memory of the Myriad Laws True Lord, the Northern Profound True Lord had always lived a secluded life in a neutral top-level Daoist temple in the Central Ten Domains, detached from worldly affairs. Apart from casting a wide net across the world, his true self rarely took any action. Even when he had a favorite of the gods, he would need a regional agent to deliver them to him.

As for the agent's task of finding and capturing those favored by the gods, at most he would bestow some divine objects as assistance.

Thus, as long as Li Ji'an doesn't meet the two old thieves, they won't be able to confirm that he is "Huang Jie" who has formed the Golden Core, let alone that he is a chosen one of the gods.

Moreover, it is said that the main hall of the Hehuan Sect in Huangtianyu has a great feud with the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce, and the relationship between the two sides is very tense. There was a tragedy in which the two sides simultaneously expelled and killed each other's forces within their respective spheres of influence.

Although the Nascent Soul Hall Master of the Hehuan Sect perished on the Central Battlefield a hundred years ago, and his successor failed to become a Nascent Soul True Monarch, he is still a powerful figure no less than the Blood Spirit Holy Mother. Tong Shangren and Chun Yuan the Old Thief of the Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce may not dare to go there.

Of course, the most important factor is his cultivation environment at the Golden Core stage. Apart from the Wanshang Domain and the Tiancang Domain, only the Huangtian Domain and the Wuya Domain have spiritual veins and cultivation grounds that can meet his current cultivation needs.

"I wonder if Tong Yaoyao is still in the Huangtian Domain?" After traveling at a fast pace for half a year, a desolate desert came into view. After passing through this barren desert, he arrived at his destination. Li Ji'an suddenly thought of Tong Yaoyao, who had gone to the Huangtian Domain after saying goodbye to him in his previous life.

It is said that the conflict between the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce and the Hehuan Sect was related to her mother.
