Chapter 2346: Chapter 780
The Land of Eternal Night is shrouded in obscured heavenly secrets, even though Lu Changsheng is a Fourth Rank Diviner, mastering various information, it’s hard to forecast accurately. He can only infer that the other’s words are most likely true.
As for choosing between sealing demons or leaving, unless he pays a costly price by burning his life span, it’s difficult to know.
But now, deep in the Forbidden Mountains, danger lurks everywhere. If he furthers his deduction, depleting his essence blood and life span, he would be weakened for months—extremely risky.
“The Sealing Demon Land involves secrets of antiquity, young friend, wishing to calculate heavenly secrets is futile.”
An old voice recognized the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures and the Punishment Beast, showing its unusual vision, as it saw Lu Changsheng was deducing heavenly secrets and divining fortune or misfortune, and reminded him.
“Huh!”
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, exhaling a breath of turbid energy, and respectfully said, “Senior, it’s not that I don’t wish to assist in sealing demons, it’s truly that I’m powerless.”
“At present, my qi and blood magical power are stagnant, my strength isn’t at its peak, although I carry a Supreme Treasure, yet I lack the power to activate it.”
Even though he didn’t acquire much information earlier, Lu Changsheng could confirm one point: the voice belongs to an entity of extraordinary power best not to offend.
“If you come closer, I can alleviate the suppression of the Sealing Demon Land for you…”
The aged voice responded.
“…”
Lu Changsheng was tempted to turn around and leave.
But his deduction earlier indicated that the words were likely true.
If he were to leave now, it would be dangerous when the demon tide erupts.
Moreover, the other party’s attitude is friendly now, who knows if they might switch to force after offering advantages?
Lu Changsheng was torn, caught in a dilemma.
After a moment’s contemplation, Lu Changsheng abandoned sensing heavenly secrets and performed the simplest form of divination, closing his eyes and tossing three divination coins from his hand.
The three divination coins glinted with a pale golden sheen under the dark night, then landed on the ground.
The first coin landed with the Yang side up;
The second coin landed with the Yin side up;
The third coin wedged between the first two, making it difficult to discern Yin from Yang.
“Li above, Qian below, symbolizes the establishing of a cauldron!”
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes to look at the three coins, his face serious.
Unexpectedly, even a casual toss holds mystery, hiding changes.
As a Fourth Rank Diviner, even a random divination aligns with the ethereal heavenly secrets.
At this moment, a cold wind blew through the darkness, the coins trembled slightly, and the upright coin fell, revealing the image of Old Yin.
“Yang line moves to transform into Yin… Firm decision turns soft…”
Lu Changsheng seemed to hear the clash of swords from the divinatory symbols, understanding in his heart, that upon arriving in this realm and this Forbidden Mountain, encountering such a situation, he must wade into turbulent waters.
He didn’t directly agree but looked into the depths of the mountain and respectfully asked, “Senior, if I act to seal the demon, what benefits would there be?”
It’s normal to ask for benefits since he plans to help, right?
The old voice was silent for a long time, then said, “After sealing the demon, I will reward the young friend.”
“That voice asked me to act to seal the demon…”
Lu Changsheng didn’t continue to inquire about the specific rewards, he looked towards Yun Wanshang, Qian Zhuyan, and recounted the exchange that took place.
Indicating he had decided to act to seal the demon through deduction, divinatory symbols, and situation analysis.
“You decide.”
Yun Wanshang saw that Lu Changsheng had expended essence blood and much energy to make the decision, naturally choosing to advance and retreat with him.
Qian Zhuyan had no opinion on such matters, listening to Lu Changsheng’s arrangements.
“In that case, I am willing to act to seal the demon.”
Lu Changsheng said to the depths of the mountain, not asking for detailed rewards.
After all, his words intended to indicate he’s not helping for free.
Soon, two humans, a puppet, and two beasts turned and headed towards the depths of the mountain.
“Lu Changsheng, would you like to rest for a bit?”
Yun Wanshang noticed Lu Changsheng’s pale and weary face, she said, understanding that his deduction and divination had caused significant consumption, depleting his essence blood.
But she was somewhat puzzled, what level is Lu Changsheng’s divination skill?
He possesses a Fourth Rank Physique, his qi and blood are potent and awe-inspiring. If it’s just divination of the First or Second Rank, even with consumption, it shouldn’t be this exaggerated, right?
“I’m fine.”
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
He possesses the Chaos Body, such depletion of essence blood can recover in three to five days, no need for rest.
Moreover, his current state also portrays him as weak.
“Thank you, young friend.”
The old feeble voice said to Lu Changsheng.
…
In the depths of the mountain, pitch-black light columns resembled Nine Nether Pythons, ceaselessly roaring and thrashing, a sight that captivated the soul.
Approaching this great formation, Lu Changsheng, Yun Wanshang, Qian Zhuyan, and the Golden-Winged Heavenly Peng felt immense pressure.
Only the Soul-calling Beast on Lu Changsheng’s shoulder showed excitement in its eyes.
As they neared, grotesque lifeforms appeared one after another, rushing toward Lu Changsheng and others.
The Soul-calling Beast perched on Lu Changsheng’s shoulder reacted, snorted, and emitted a faint yellow glow, which enveloped and absorbed the black mist.
“Tihun, can you cough up its Soul Crystal?”
Lu Changsheng saw the Soul-calling Beast directly devour the strange creature and inquired.
The Soul Crystal contains pure Yin Soul power, visibly enhancing the Puppet Spirit Soul of Qian Zhuyan.
In these two years with Soul Crystals, Qian Zhuyan’s Puppet Spirit Soul has reached the peak of the Third Rank, only a step away from the Fourth Rank.
Yet this step seems like an insurmountable barrier, unable to break through, hence Lu Changsheng seeks to upgrade Qian Zhuyan’s Fourth Rank Puppet Spirit.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”
The Soul-calling Beast heard and rubbed its furry little belly, indicating it needs some time.
“???”
Yun Wanshang beside looked surprised.
She looked confusedly at the Soul-calling Beast perched on Lu Changsheng’s shoulder.
What the heck?
This adorable monkey, in a blink, devoured a strange creature?
