Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 771 - 392: Two Hundred Thousand Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivators, the Flourishing Sect (Part 2)

Within the Primordial Talisman Sect, this rising generation represents the destiny of both the Human Race and the Sect itself.

Consequently, they feel a deep-seated loathing for the savage deeds of the Demon Race.

Their ultimate goal is to eventually seize the entirety of the Western Continent, transforming it into a domain for humanity.

"So that is the truth of it," Song Yuming murmured as clarity struck him.

He finally grasped why the name of the Primordial Talisman Sect had only recently reached his ears.

It was a human Sect that had only been established a short time ago.

This explained why they had just appeared in the lands where he lived.

In a sense, he viewed this as a stroke of immense luck.

Had the Primordial Talisman Sect arrived any later, even his Celestial Spirit Root might have been useless, leaving him unable to walk the path of Cultivation or wield its mythical strength.

The emergence of this human Sect could be described as a divine blessing for every human on the Western Continent, a presence akin to a grand savior.

He now understood the profound gratitude the mortal masses felt toward the Primordial Talisman Sect.

It was solely because of this Sect’s rise that mortals finally possessed a secure haven to call their own.

"Has it truly only been established for a few decades?"

"It appears the Sect Leader’s personal efforts are the only reason this Sect has flourished to such a degree."

"I cannot help but wonder what kind of peerless genius the Sect Leader of the Primordial Talisman Sect must be to found a human Sect in a place like this. It is truly incredible."

Even the Five Fire Divine Thunder Saber felt a wave of emotion.

It understood better than anyone the grim reality for humans on the Western Continent, a place that was essentially a living Hell for them.

Despite those conditions, a Nascent Soul Cultivator as formidable as the Primordial Talisman Sect’s leader had risen.

It seemed that the Human Race was not yet fated for extinction, as exceptional talents continued to be born despite the suffering.

"Come, follow me to the primary peak to have an audience with the Lord Sect Master," a Cultivator from the Primordial Talisman Sect commanded immediately.

A genius possessed of a Celestial Spirit Root like Song Yuming had to be presented to the Lord Sect Master without delay.

After all, such a peerless talent was incredibly scarce, a rarity one could count on a single hand.

As for the remaining mortals, they would be handled by other senior brothers.

Such procedures had been performed many times and were now part of a standard routine.

"Understood."

Song Yuming felt a mix of exhilaration and intense nerves upon hearing this.

He hadn't expected to encounter such a legendary figure at the apex of the Human Race so soon.

A Cultivator who governed such immense power had to be an extraordinary individual.

Whoosh!

With a sudden movement, a Cultivator summoned a Spiritual Crane. Carrying Song Yuming along, they vanished from the sight of the crowd, soaring rapidly toward the Primordial Peak.

The mortals left behind watched with eyes full of envy.

They realized that from this moment forward, their paths in life would diverge drastically from his.

However, lacking a Spirit Root meant that no matter how much they envied him, there was little they could do.

Fortunately, their journey toward Cultivation was not completely barred.

By training in Martial Arts to develop an Acquired Spirit Root, they could still find a way onto the path.

Though the odds were incredibly low, a small flicker of hope remained.

...

A few days passed.

Song Yuming was formally accepted into the Primordial Talisman Sect. Due to his rare Celestial Spirit Root, he was designated as Jiang Fan’s named disciple. He would only achieve the status of an official disciple once he reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

As a True Disciple, he was granted his own mountain peak featuring a private Spirit Vein, a far cry from the Outer Sect Disciples who lived in crowded quarters on the Outer Sect Peak.

True Disciples were afforded a wealth of advantages and special treatments.

It was enough to make any Outer Sect member burn with jealousy.

Regrettably, a Celestial Spirit Root is not something one can simply obtain through desire.

No matter their envy, there was nothing to be done about it.

"I never imagined that the perks of being a True Disciple would be so vast."

"I have my own private cave dwelling, and I am even provided with a generous supply of Spirit Stones and elixirs every month."

"Until I reach Foundation Establishment, I will have no shortage of resources for my Cultivation."

"It is no wonder the senior brothers looked at me with such envy."

"The advantages of a Celestial Spirit Root are truly boundless."

Song Yuming spoke with great feeling.

Since joining the Primordial Talisman Sect, the rewards he received made him realize how highly the Sect valued his talent.

He felt a deep sense of gratitude for his Celestial Spirit Root.

Had he been born with only a Low-grade Spirit Root, his path through Cultivation would have been fraught with difficulty.

"Your master is far from a common man," the Five Fire Divine Thunder Saber remarked in a cryptic tone.

There was a trace of wariness in its voice.

"Of course he isn't common; my master is a Nascent Soul Cultivator with a thousand-year lifespan."

"He carries himself with a natural grace as if he commands the heavens themselves. How could he be anything but extraordinary?"

Song Yuming answered as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

Even as a novice, he grasped the terrifying nature of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

The mere fact of living for a millennium was enough to make any mortal envious.

Furthermore, a Nascent Soul Cultivator possessed the strength to shatter worlds, standing like a god within the Mortal Realm.

One could say the current prosperity of the Primordial Talisman Sect was built solely on his master's shoulders.

"Hmph, a typical Nascent Soul Cultivator wouldn't even catch my eye."

"If my instincts are correct, that youth has likely grasped the power of an Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman."

"To master such a power while only at the Nascent Soul stage makes him an unmatched genius."

"Even during the Ancient Era, he would have been considered a figure on the level of a grandmaster."

The Five Fire Divine Thunder Saber spoke with a heavy, serious tone.

It had seen many Nascent Soul Cultivators, but none as daunting as this man.

Though he was only at the Mid-stage Nascent Soul, his presence was as overwhelming as one at the Late-stage.

Provided he survived, his eventual breakthrough into Divinity Transformation was a certainty.

"Is my master truly that magnificent?"

Song Yuming blinked in surprise, as he had no other Nascent Soul Cultivators to compare him to.

But if Elder Dao made such a claim, there had to be truth in it.

This realization was ultimately beneficial for him.

The more powerful his master was, the stronger the "pillar" he had to lean on. It was an ideal situation.

"You have yet to truly begin your Cultivation; you only perceive his strength on the surface."

"Once you start your journey, you will realize you are like a mayfly gazing at the infinite sky."

"A Celestial Spirit Root is indeed a fine gift, but in the vastness of the Cultivation world, what does it really signify?"

"Over the eons, countless Celestial Spirit Root Cultivators have appeared."

"Yet, those who actually reach the pinnacle are few and far between."

The Five Fire Divine Thunder Saber spoke with a touch of melancholy.

Song Yuming looked confused, struggling to fully grasp the meaning behind Elder Dao’s words.

He was, after all, a complete beginner in this world.

The gap between himself and the truly powerful was currently immeasurable.

"If I am correct, he has probably already sensed my presence."

The Five Fire Divine Thunder Saber suddenly dropped a shocking revelation.

"Master knows about Elder Dao?"

Song Yuming was stunned and felt a surge of panic; he hadn't expected his greatest secret to be revealed so abruptly.

His hopes for the future were tied to Elder Dao’s guidance.

As a being from the Ancient Era, Elder Dao possessed not only incredible Divine Power but also ancient Cultivation secrets, making him an invaluable mentor.

"A normal Nascent Soul would never have been able to detect me."

"But he is no ordinary Nascent Soul; his spiritual strength has likely reached the Divinity Transformation Level."

"What a terrifying talent—to be a mere Nascent Soul yet already possess Divinity Transformation Spirit Sense."

"However, there is no need for you to be afraid."

"Your master is a man of unfathomable depth with grand ambitions. He has even mastered the Gate of the Void, so why would he care about me?"

The Five Fire Divine Thunder Saber spoke with a sense of resignation.

Despite its pride as a powerful Magical Treasure of the Void Realm, it was far inferior to a legendary artifact like the Gate of the Void.

"So, my little bit of luck is insignificant to my master."

Song Yuming felt a wave of relief wash over him.

This meant his greatest worry had been completely resolved.

He had lived in fear that his secret would be discovered, leading someone to kill him for his treasure.

But now, even if the secret was out, the other party had no interest in it.

He was perfectly safe within the walls of the Primordial Talisman Sect.
