Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1007 - 490: The Rapid Growth of the Hunyuan Alliance One Year Later (Part 2)
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
Should the opponent indeed hold the Seven-Colored Life Chart, achieving that wouldn't be out of reach.
"It's far from impossible."
"Without being a supreme expert, how else could they attract so many Life Plate Cultivators?"
"Plus, didn't you catch that? The phrase 'Infinite Worlds' came straight from that senior's mouth."
"Across the boundless void, countless Great Thousand Worlds await."
"That means, beyond our Spirit Ruins Realm, other realms exist too."
"But how did that senior come by such knowledge exactly?"
"I dug deep into info on the Talisman Daoist before, but never came across anyone like him."
"Typically, a figure of such stature leaves some trail behind, yet we have zero leads on him, leading me to think he's no local Cultivator from the Spirit Ruins Realm—more likely a mighty Great Power hailing from another realm."
A spark of insight flashed in Ye Linglong's stunning eyes as she shared her theory.
This idea stemmed from her sharp, innate senses.
While the notion was daring and hard to swallow, it wasn't completely far-fetched.
In truth, her hunch edged remarkably near the actual facts.
"A Great Power from beyond our world?"
"This theory is pretty wild, no doubt."
"Still, given the incredible abilities that senior displayed, it doesn't sound so far off."
"Even Mahayana Cultivators struggle to cross between realms."
Xiao Duan and the rest were stunned by this idea, finding it almost ridiculous.
But upon closer reflection, it held some real possibility.
"That's right—even typical Mahayana Cultivators can't bridge two realms."
"The gap separating Great Thousand Worlds is just too enormous."
"Sure, Mahayana Cultivators might navigate the void, but covering that kind of distance? No way."
"More often than not, they'd perish from age before arriving."
"So, regular Mahayana Cultivators stick to their home world."
"But what ordinary Cultivators can't achieve, Immortal Artifacts might just pull off."
"Maybe that senior got his hands on an Immortal Artifact that lets him leap between realms."
"That's how he ended up in our Spirit Ruins Realm."
Ye Linglong stated gravely.
At those words, enlightenment dawned on Xiao Duan and the others, making this explanation feel spot on.
"Exactly—the Treasure that senior bestowed, the Ten Thousand Treasures Token, boasts just such a power."
"It can whisk countless items across vast distances in a flash."
"So, ferrying a person to a whole other world? That's within reach too."
"In that light, the Talisman Daoist's prowess becomes downright unfathomable."
"Even Mahayana Cultivators could barely match it."
Xiao Duan and his companions gasped in awe without end.
The Talisman Daoist's background grew ever more enigmatic and elusive in their minds.
And yet, this very mystery fueled their rising thrill.
For being eyed by a titan like him opened doors to soaring higher.
"This is only my hunch, mind you."
"The Talisman Daoist could well be a homegrown Cultivator after all."
"Plenty of Immortal Artifacts from the Immortal Realm have scattered across the Spirit Ruins Realm."
"He might just be a local who stumbled upon a mighty Immortal Artifact, granting him these feats."
"Regardless, it looks like the Talisman Daoist harbors no ill will toward us right now."
Ye Linglong concluded.
She couldn't pin down the senior's origins with certainty.
It was all guesswork, after all—not the full picture.
"The Ten Thousand Treasures Token is truly an astonishingly enigmatic Treasure."
"At first glance, it's merely a trading hub that defies spatial limits."
"But deep down, it's a boundless storage vault."
"Word is, plenty of members stash their Treasures in the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall."
"Pulling them out only when deals go through."
"This frees up tons of room and locks in top-notch safety."
"No fear of anyone spotting it."
Jiang Mo burst out in admiration.
Truth be told, he'd only recently grasped the true, masterful potential of the Ten Thousand Treasures Token for its users.
Keep in mind, Space Rings or Storage Bags come with finite capacity.
The bigger the Spatial Treasure, the steeper the price tag.
Far beyond what average Cultivators can swing.
Out in the wilds or delving into Secret Realms, folks run into heaps of Spirit Medicines, ores, and various Treasures—so many that no single person could haul them solo.
That cuts deep into what they could reap.
But ever since snagging the Ten Thousand Treasures Token, everything flipped.
Spot Spirit Medicines or ores too bulky to lug? Just tuck them away in the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall's storage for now, easing worries about leaving them behind.
"Yeah, I spotted a post about someone slipping into a purple silver vein, posing as a regular digger."
"But really, the fellow was covertly mining purple silver stones."
"Daily hauls of hundreds of pounds, raking in riches beyond measure."
"Even when overseers rifled through his gear, nothing turned up suspicious."
"Since he skipped carrying a Space Ring or Storage Bag."
"Every chunk of ore he unearthed zipped straight to the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall for safekeeping."
"At this rate, he'll strip that entire vein bare before long."
Xiao Duan expressed wonder.
This was basically pilfering straight from those Noble Families' coffers.
And those families had zero ways to counter it.
Armed with the Ten Thousand Treasures Token, it was like striking from a higher plane altogether.
The enemy stood no chance against it.
"Mining that much ore? Don't they fear getting caught?"
Liu Shengnan inquired with interest.
In her view, a brief stint might slip under the radar of those Noble Families.
But drawn out over time, anomalies would surely surface.
Leading to capture by the families—a grave peril.
"Sure they're concerned, but they've got tricks up their sleeves."
"Like swapping for unique Talismans via the Ten Thousand Treasures Token."
"Take the Substitute Death Talisman—it endures nine fatal strikes, boosting survival odds dramatically."
"Or the Heaven-Reaching Bridge Talisman, a space-bending one. Spot trouble, and it erects a Heaven-Reaching Bridge, flinging you thousands of miles away—beyond even High-tier Cultivators' pursuit."
"That said, these serve as last-resort safeguards. Actually, they're smart about it, not pushing too far. Just a modest take each day."
"Overdo it, and they hop to another vein for mining."
"In total, loads of members have struck it rich this way."
Jiang Mo laid it out.
Clearly, these tactics helped countless new Mixed Yuan League recruits claim their initial windfall.
Though most pulling these stunts came from lowly origins.
Such Cultivators start dirt poor, and without bold moves, they'd never touch the vast Cultivation Resources needed for a breakthrough lifetime.
Plus, the dangers stay low—with simple vigilance, detection's a non-issue.
As a result, over the last year, every Mixed Yuan League member's fortune skyrocketed.
They essentially became wealthy in the blink of an eye.
"Still, there's a catch."
"The Ten Thousand Treasures Hall takes a thirty percent cut on transactions."
"Shifting goods each time devours a fortune in fees."
"That's no small expense."
Su Wangyue noted solemnly.
Tapping the Ten Thousand Treasures Token's might demands payment to the Hall.
No fee, no function.
"To you all, what's a little coin?"
"See it as priceless service; forget thirty percent—even seventy or eighty would be a steal."
"True enough, sans the Ten Thousand Treasures Token, we'd lack this path to prosperity."
"And isn't that senior just lounging his way to vast wealth? These last few years, his earnings must pile sky-high."
"Can't be helped—it's his unique creation, beyond anyone's replication."
"No word of anyone in the Great Xuan Dynasty wielding such wonders."
The crew chatted with lively fervor.
They saw nothing wrong with it, deeming the charge fair enough.
Absent the Ten Thousand Treasures Token, those profits would vanish.
