Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 775 - 394: Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil Again, an Opportunity from the Black Dragon Sea Region_2

Immense tribulations must be endured by those who seek to grasp profound opportunities.

While most desire to obtain treasures without facing peril, such occurrences are exceptionally rare.

In truth, they are virtually non-existent.

Within this world, only the mystical power of the Fortune-Telling Talisman can distinguish which paths are safe and which are riddled with lethal traps.

Wei Hanquan and his fellow Nascent Soul cultivators, however, lack the divine ability to seek fortune and avoid evil; thus, they have no choice but to weather these storms.

Should they fail to overcome these trials, their lives will be extinguished and their cultivation journeys terminated.

Boom—

Suddenly, vibrating within Jiang Fan’s Dantian and Sea of Qi, the Fortune-Telling Talisman began to hum, instantly transmitting a surge of information into his Sea of Consciousness.

“Followers are in jeopardy amidst mounting disasters; handle the situation correctly to transform calamity into blessing.”

“Travel to the Black Dragon Sea Region to rescue Wei Hanquan and the other Nascent Soul cultivators. Success will grant a Third-Grade Opportunity. Minor hidden risks exist, but the venture is ultimately safe and promises great fortune.”

“Choosing to ignore Wei Hanquan and the other Nascent Soul cultivators, leaving them to their fate, will result in no gains and no losses—only a quiet status quo.”

Upon perceiving this message, Jiang Fan’s eyebrow twitched upward.

There was no doubt that this mission posed almost no threat to him.

Even if he were to face five Tier Four Late-stage Demon Cultivators simultaneously, they would be unable to harm him.

After all, his current combat prowess far exceeded his previous levels.

It would be a complete joke if he couldn't deal with a handful of Late-stage Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators at this point.

“A Third-Grade Opportunity is actually up for grabs?”

“It appears the rewards this time include more than just Divinity Transformation Spirit Medicine.”

“There may be even more valuable treasures waiting.”

“This journey is certainly worth the effort.”

Jiang Fan mused, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

Naturally, he would have gone to save them even without the promise of a Third-Grade Opportunity.

Wei Hanquan and the others were his loyal subordinates and established Nascent Soul cultivators.

It takes a common cultivator at least several centuries to reach the Nascent Soul level.

It would be a genuine waste for them to perish in such a manner.

Furthermore, followers of the Nascent Soul rank are not easily replaced.

Losing even one would be a significant blow to his forces.

Since there were substantial benefits to be had this time, he certainly wouldn't stand by and watch them die.

“What is your current location?”

Jiang Fan inquired directly through the connection.

“Master, we are situated near the Zhu Family Territory!”

Wei Hanquan was filled with joy upon seeing the reply.

He was well aware of his master's terrifying strength.

Once their master intervened, those five Late-stage Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators would be nothing more than a minor nuisance.

“Oh, that isn't far at all.”

“It seems your time has not yet come, so I shall make the trip.”

Without further delay, Jiang Fan activated the Gate of the Void.

In an instant, he manifested in the heavens above the Zhu Family Territory.

He had previously established a spatial coordinate in this specific sea region.

By utilizing the Gate of the Void, he could teleport to the Black Dragon Sea Region at any moment.

However, Wei Hanquan and his group were not at the exact coordinate; they were located in a more secluded area some distance away.

Whoosh!

His Spiritual Sense surged outward, scanning tens of thousands of kilometers across the waves.

His form blurred as he began riding clouds and mist, accelerating toward the position of Wei Hanquan and the others.

He estimated he would reach them in very little time.

***

Meanwhile, on a desolate island within the Zhu Family Territory.

A Tier Four Grand Array completely blanketed the island, creating a translucent protective barrier.

Seen from afar, the island was encased in a shimmering light screen, looking like a massive hemispherical dome that radiated a soft, enigmatic glow.

Intricate and beautiful runes flowed across the surface of the screen, flickering like living organisms. They pulsed with a rhythmic, agile light—sometimes brilliant, sometimes faint—as if breathing to a hidden tempo.

These runes varied in shape and size; some looked like ancient calligraphy while others resembled esoteric sigils. They were woven into a vast, systematic web that covered the sky and the island’s perimeter, forming an impenetrable defensive wall.

The four Nascent Soul cultivators—Wei Hanquan, Shi Hongyi, Ge Hanrong, and Fei Quansheng—remained inside, pouring their Qi into the Tier Four Array.

They understood that they could not outrun those Late-stage Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators.

In the open sea, the array was their only hope for defense.

Fleeing blindly would have resulted in certain death.

Their sole chance at survival lay in anchoring themselves behind a defensive formation and praying for reinforcement.

“Master has agreed to come to our aid!”

Wei Hanquan shouted, his face lighting up as he read the message on his Communication Talisman.

“That is fantastic! Once Master arrives, those Tier Four Demon Cultivators will be nothing more than clay chickens and pottery dogs!”

Shi Hongyi let out a long breath of relief upon hearing the news.

Had the master refused to come, they would have been finished.

Under the siege of so many Late-stage Nascent Soul enemies, their makeshift array would eventually have been shattered, leaving them helpless.

But with their master’s promise, a spark of hope returned.

They only needed to hold out for a little longer to survive.

“This Communication Talisman is incredibly powerful.”

“Master mentioned it originates from an Immortal Talisman.”

“It transmits messages instantly, regardless of the distance.”

“It is many times more potent than any Communication Talisman found in the normal Cultivation world.”

“We wouldn't even have been able to send a distress signal without it,” Ge Hanrong remarked with deep respect.

He truly recognized the value of such a tool.

A Talisman that ignores geographical barriers is a priceless asset to any cultivator.

Standard talismans are limited by range and terrain, making long-distance communication difficult.

Yet, this talisman from the Immortal Realm was different, allowing for instantaneous contact across any distance.

It was truly beyond his wildest dreams.

“That is the truth.”

“I recall how much effort it used to take just to send a single message to one of you.”

“Now, we can connect with just a single thought.”

“When the four of us were split up by the array in that Ancient Ruins Cave Mansion earlier, we would have gained nothing if not for this talisman keeping us informed,” Fei Quansheng added gravely.

In his mind, the utility of the Communication Talisman was equal to that of a high-grade Spirit Treasure.

“Master must be a legendary Talisman Master.”

“I previously traded for several Tier Four Talismans from him.”

“The Substitute Death Talismans, for instance.”

“They saved us from numerous lethal encounters. We would have died several times over if not for their protection.”

Shi Hongyi’s admiration for Jiang Fan was absolute.

As a Tier Four Talisman Master himself, he could craft certain high-level talismans, but he knew he was leagues behind his master.

He secretly suspected that his master might actually be a Tier Five Talisman Master.

How else could he produce such a variety of overwhelming talismans?

“Quickly, look! The demon cultivators have arrived!”

Wei Hanquan’s expression turned grim as he sensed a shift in the atmosphere and looked toward the horizon.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In a flash, the Late-stage Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators caught up to them.

They were draped in oppressive Demon Qi that surged across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, saturating the area for thousands of kilometers.

The sky turned pitch black as the thick Demon Qi blotted out the sun.

No light could penetrate the dark, swirling clouds.

Multiple terrifying Nascent Soul Domains descended, warping the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and exerting a crushing pressure.

Their arrival caused the deserted island to tremble violently.

The Tier Four Defense Array groaned under the strain, appearing on the verge of total collapse as small cracks began to spiderweb across the barrier.

“How can they be this powerful?”

“Is this the true strength of Late-stage Nascent Soul Demon cultivators?”

The faces of the four Early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators—Wei Hanquan, Shi Hongyi, Ge Hanrong, and Fei Quansheng—paled instantly.

They had been running for so long that they hadn't truly felt the full weight of their pursuers' power until now.

Facing them directly, they realized the massive chasm that existed between their levels.

Without the protection of the Tier Four Array, they would have been slaughtered in a single exchange.

They were completely outclassed.
