Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1044 - 507: Refining the Immortal Artifact Taixu Hall, War Fortress (Part 2)

"From now on, you shall serve as the spirit beasts of the Primordial Talisman Sect."

"Your duty is to safeguard the sect's security."

Jiang Fan issued the directive.

"Understood, Master."

All the Tier Five demon beasts bowed to the order.

"Obtaining such a vast number of Tier Five spirit beasts in one go?"

"Even back in the Eastern Continent's history, the total Divinity Transformation cultivators didn't reach this figure."

The Primordial Talisman Pen exclaimed in awe.

It believed that the Primordial Talisman Sect now possessed the strength to seek vengeance and resolve old grudges.

Not just destroying the Celestial Secret Mansion, but also reclaiming the ancient home of the Primordial Talisman Sect from long ago.

"It has certainly exceeded expectations."

"Only four Divinity Transformation sects exist on the entire Eastern Continent."

"Within the human race, Divinity Transformation cultivators number scarcely more than a dozen."

"How could they rival this horde of Tier Five spirit beasts?"

The Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron stated logically.

It found it hard to believe that any sect on the Eastern Continent could stand against the present Primordial Talisman Sect.

Especially since the Master alone could obliterate all four major Divinity Transformation sects if he chose to.

Given the Primordial Talisman Sect's current might, dominating the whole Void Realm was entirely feasible.

"Yet the resources within the Void Secret Realm are incredibly abundant."

"To raise so many Tier Five demon beasts so abruptly."

"Fortunately, they remain confined to the Void Secret Realm."

"If not, humans on the Southern Continent would have no place to exist."

The Demon-Vibrating Bell remarked with profound emotion.

Clearly, the Southern Continent appeared to lack spiritual energy, supporting only Nascent Soul cultivators at best.

Unbeknownst to most, all Divinity Transformation level powers lurked inside the Void Secret Realm.

Had they been able to exit, the Southern Continent's entire scenery would have transformed ages ago.

But now, with the Master commanding the Void Secret Realm and converting these Tier Five spirit beasts to his side.

It could be said that the accumulated peak forces of the Southern Continent over countless years now belonged to his Master.

"This marks their fate."

"In the end, the Void Secret Realm was established by human race sects."

"They benefited from the human sects yet sought to depart and ravage humanity."

"Such a thing cannot occur."

The Exquisite Tower responded calmly.

Obviously, a lingering soul from an old Primordial Talisman Sect cultivator had once dwelled in the Void Secret Realm.

Despite being afflicted by some strange force, fragments of ancient recollections endured.

Likely, that ancient cultivator's efforts had imprisoned this band of demon cultivators.

Without such intervention, they would have escaped far earlier.

Still, for these demon cultivators, this confinement might not prove entirely unfortunate.

Had they not entered the Void Secret Realm, their lifespans would have run out long before.

Even sealed within this hidden domain, they avoided death.

They continued to thrive unbound here.

"Quite right."

"Should they have escaped the Void Secret Realm, the Southern Continent could resemble the Western Continent."

"Humanity would find no foothold on the Southern Continent."

The Primordial Talisman Pen wholeheartedly concurred.

Despite being separate lands, demon races remained demon races.

Their inherent traits stayed consistent.

Possessing the supreme strength, they would inevitably dominate the full Southern Continent.

Humans would reduce to slaves or mere sustenance.

"Unifying the Southern Continent should come first."

"Its top powers consist of mere Nascent Soul sects after all."

"I reckon sending one Divinity Transformation cultivator would swiftly crush them."

"Upon victory, the whole continent becomes the Master's territory."

The Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron declared eagerly.

It had never dreamed its Master could one day conquer the entire Southern Continent.

An event unprecedented across hundreds of millions of years.

Accomplishing it would etch an eternal legend.

Most importantly, unifying the Southern Continent would grant the Master immense destiny from the human race.

The advantages from that were beyond comprehension.

Boom~~

Right then, a transmission flooded the core of Jiang Fan’s mind.

"Though you aim to unite the Southern Continent, you remain unaware that over recent years, Southern Continent demon cultivators have surged in power, producing three Divinity Transformation demon cultivators.

Yet they refrain from unleashing chaos across the Southern Continent; rather, they conceal themselves, having erected an altar in the Mist Mountain Range to revive an ancient blood demon.

Should they succeed, demon disaster will engulf the Southern Continent, causing innumerable casualties, leaving no one capable of opposing this ancient blood demon."

"Destiny offers you guidance."

"Destiny hint one: Tomorrow, cultivators from demon sects like the Heart Demon Sect, Six Desires Sect, and Blood Demon Sect will convene at Blood Demon Mountain within the Mist Mountain Range, drawn there because this range seals an ancient blood demon’s heart.

Sadly, after endless time, the heart’s energy has faded, yet the demon cultivators plan to offer vast quantities of living flesh to reignite its life force.

Their approach holds truth, for ancient blood demons prove eternal and unbreakable; consuming even a trace of vitality allows rebirth into this realm.

Following ages and the resurgence of spiritual energy, the demon cultivators’ scheme at last bears fruit. To thwart the blood demon’s return, proceed at once to Blood Demon Mountain in the Mist Mountain Range."

"Destiny hint two: However, unbeknownst to you, activating the altar renders the process unstoppable, so arriving at Blood Demon Mountain won’t halt the ancient blood demon’s revival.

Since preventing the foe’s rebirth is futile, forgo interference; instead, strive to bind the ancient blood demon right at its moment of resurrection, when it stands most vulnerable. Capturing that precise instant offers your sole opportunity to seal the ancient blood demon."

"Destiny hint three: Sealing the ancient blood demon demands great effort, for if anyone nearby cultivates the Blood Demon Scripture, the ancient blood demon can swiftly dodge and possess that demon cultivator.

Every Blood Demon Sect member acts as a vessel for the ancient blood demon; to eradicate the threat fully, eliminate those Blood Demon Sect followers first.

Yet for one wielding the divine ability to eradicate nine clans, this poses no challenge; clearing out the Blood Demon Sect cultivators beforehand will render sealing the ancient blood demon straightforward."

Upon receiving the transmission, Jiang Fan rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

It was clear the Southern Continent’s demon cultivators continued their scheming unrest.

Despite his earlier strikes that slew some demon cultivators, he hadn’t uprooted their foundation.

Particularly after spiritual energy’s revival, these demon cultivators swiftly recovered their vigor.

Undoubtedly bolstered by insidious influences.

This led to the emergence of Divinity Transformation realm demon cultivators.

"Those sly villains’ avarice endures, stirring chaos in every corner."

A chill flickered in Jiang Fan’s gaze.

In the past, the ancient demon within Yiling Secret Realm almost broke free thanks to their machinations.

Now, the shifts among Southern Continent demon cultivators surely tied back to those insidious forces.

At present, however, he ought to steer clear of clashing with such mighty beings.

Even after reaching the first layer of Void Refining, confronting them remained daunting.

Temporarily withdrawing from the fray appeared the prudent path.

"That ancient blood demon holds immense power, truly unkillable?!"

"Sealing it is the only option? No alternative exists?"

Jiang Fan’s brow furrowed.

Before, when facing the blood-eating fish demon and shadow fish demon, he managed to slay them.

But the ancient blood demon differed; destruction was impossible.

Sealing represented the sole recourse.

This challenged the ancient blood demon’s formidable strength, far exceeding his current capabilities.

Fortunately, he had obtained the incomplete Immortal Artifact, the Qiantian Ice Soul Pearl.

With this treasure, sealing the ancient blood demon should prove achievable.

Moreover, he could use this chance to eradicate the demon cultivators in the Mist Mountain Range.

Such action would greatly lessen the peril demon cultivators brought to the Southern Continent.

"Very well, sealing it is."

"Sealing this ancient demon might turn out beneficial."

"It can reside inside the Exquisite Tower."

"To feed upon its flesh continually, converting it to spiritual soil."

"Wouldn’t that yield an endlessly expanding spiritual soil?"

Jiang Fan mused inescapably.

Whoosh!

With that notion, Jiang Fan wasted no time, promptly activating the Gate of the Void.

His form blurred as he stepped through the Gate of the Void.

In moments, he reached a spot close to the Mist Mountain Range.

Luckily, he had previously set multiple space markers across the Southern Continent, including near the Mist Mountain Range, which spared him considerable journey and delay.
