Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 766 - 390: Longevity Tribulation, Ancient Taboo
Boom~~
In an instant, the Primordial Talisman Pen moved, exploding with a golden glow that blasted onto a distant building. Immediately, layers of rune barriers surfaced around the building, with dense and mysterious runes flowing across them.
Next, a rune portal appeared in front of Jiang Fan, exuding an ancient, mysterious, and profound aura.
With a cracking sound.
The lock on the portal was instantly opened by the Primordial Talisman Pen, revealing an open doorway.
Without a doubt, without the Primordial Talisman Pen, it wouldn’t have been easy to unlock the restrictions and barriers here.
Swoosh!
Jiang Fan’s figure flickered as he entered the Scripture Pavilion of the Primordial Talisman Sect.
"This."
At this moment, Jiang Fan’s eyes widened in shock.
The instant he set foot in the Scripture Pavilion of the Primordial Talisman Sect, he saw countless jade scrolls suspended like a reverse starry river.
Some floated in mid-air, others leaned obliquely against jade desks. The faint light on the surface of the jade scrolls interwove into a hazy halo, as if countless mysterious eyes were secretly observing.
The ancient runes and obscure texts engraved on the jade scrolls flickered in and out of the faint light, silently revealing concealed secrets, making one irresistibly want to reach out and explore the profound Daoist techniques contained within.
This Scripture Pavilion was vast and boundless, stretching as far as the eye could see, as if it connected to the edge of the heavens and earth.
The jade stone floor beneath his feet gleamed with a gentle luster, and upon closer inspection, it was found that every piece of jade was densely covered with runes.
These runes intertwined to form intricate and exquisite array maps, with traces of spiritual power flowing along the vein of runes, sketching bluish patterns on the ground.
As Jiang Fan walked past, the runes would ripple with a faint light, echoing the visitor’s aura, while emitting an invisible force that gathered the surrounding spiritual qi, making it incredibly dense.
The Scripture Pavilion was so silent that even the drop of a pin could be heard, with only the occasional faint humming from the jade scrolls, like the murmurs of ancient beasts in slumber.
The pervasive ancient aura, laden with the sediment of ages, involuntarily inspired awe, as if standing in a mysterious hall traversing time and space, where every corner concealed opportunities capable of altering a cultivator’s destiny.
"Didn’t expect the exterior to be so severely damaged, yet inside is completely untouched."
"Truly the legacy of an Ancient Sect, with such an abundance of inheritance left behind."
Jiang Fan looked at these jade scrolls, feeling greatly impressed within.
Previously, he had acquired many cultivation techniques, but none as numerous as those collected by the Primordial Talisman Sect.
Not to mention, there was a complete version of the Mixed Element Talisman Scripture inside, which could allow him to cultivate to the Immortal realm.
For any cultivator, this place was a site of supreme opportunity.
"Master, what is that?"
The Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace suddenly pointed towards a wall ahead.
Hearing this, Jiang Fan focused his gaze, and he saw words formed by congealed blood appearing on the wall, a bloody sight that, despite the countless ages passed, still emanated a chilling hatred and fear.
"Later generations, beware of the Longevity Tribulation!"
"The calamity is not yet over."
"It is only the beginning."
He perceived a strong will engraved on the wall, a will that never faded despite endless ages.
It was imaginable that the cultivator who left the text on the wall must have been a great power of the Human Race.
Presumably left by a predecessor of the Primordial Talisman Sect.
"Longevity Tribulation? What on earth does it mean?"
Jiang Fan frowned.
He could sense the other party’s fear and hatred from these words; what kind of tribulation was it that could instill fear into such a great power of the Human Race?!
"Master, it is a taboo, do not mention it."
In an instant, the Primordial Talisman Pen, the Demon-Vibrating Bell, and the Exquisite Tower sensed a piercing chill and a genuine terror, and they couldn’t help but cry out, stopping Jiang Fan from exploring further.
It was as if some forbidden force had been inadvertently touched.
"What do you mean? Why can’t it be mentioned?"
Jiang Fan squinted his eyes.
He felt like he was about to touch upon the truth of an ancient catastrophe.
What kind of calamity had caused so many Innate True Spirits and Ancient Sects to disappear, as if completely obliterated by some formidable power, utterly vanishing without a trace?
At first, he thought it might have been the work of demons.
After all, the power of demons is terribly frightening, harboring terrifying corrosive properties.
If they initiated a monstrous demonic catastrophe, destroying the Void Realm might not be impossible.
But upon deeper thought, the Ancient Era also endured demonic catastrophes with demons present.
Yet even so, the cultivation civilization of ancient times remained immensely splendid, with countless True Spirits and flourishing Major Sects.
Merely a demonic catastrophe wouldn’t likely suffice to destroy such a splendid cultivation civilization.
"Master, you must not speak of it."
"It is an ancient taboo, the source of all disasters."
"Our memories have been erased as well; you can imagine how fearful it must be."
The Demon-Vibrating Bell trembled as it spoke.
"Though I do not know what it is, it is a taboo not to be touched."
"If Master seeks too deeply, it may bring severe disaster."
The Exquisite Tower also quivered as it spoke.
It couldn’t recall what the ancient tribulation was either, but knew it was an ancient taboo, absolutely untouchable.
"Afraid it’s too late to avoid touching it now."
"According to the message above, this tribulation is not yet over, it is merely the beginning."
Jiang Fan clenched his fists.
He sensed a doomsday-like disaster looming over the entire Void Realm.
