Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 784 - 398: Perfection Level Fortune-Telling Talisman, Divine Power: Destiny Hint_2
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
"Destiny Hint Two: You perceive the true danger of this demonic outbreak. Despite the misfortune of these demon races, you have no desire to aid them. Instead, you view this as a perfect chance to exploit their misery for your own gain.
The deep-sea demon tribes will endure devastating losses and immense casualties due to this catastrophe. For you, however, it presents an opportunity to systematically enslave one Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator after another.
While other cultivators see an unparalleled disaster, you see a way to profit from the chaos of war. Choosing this path will grant you a Fourth-Grade Opportunity and a legion of loyal Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators.
Nevertheless, this choice will not halt the spreading demon disaster; a tide of demons will lay waste to the Black Dragon Sea Region, causing endless death and a ruinous aftermath."
"Destiny Hint Three: In the face of such hopelessness, even a Divinity Transformation Cultivator is powerless, forced to watch as countless souls perish at the hands of demons, sparking eternal calamities. You, however, are unique; through the innate divine technique of Destiny Hint, you can perceive the solitary thread of hope within destiny and find the only way out.
It is possible to utilize the power of the Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaf to shroud your presence, evading the demons' senses to stealthily enter the Wood Dragon Secret Realm.
Within the deepest palace of the Wood Dragon Secret Realm lies the slumbering remnant soul of a Wooden Dragon—a vestige of an ancient True Spirit that managed to survive the great catastrophe of old.
Without intervention, it will remain in an eternal sleep, eventually fading away as its soul becomes exhausted.
But if you take action, sacrificing a massive quantity of Qi Fortune Energy to establish a pact with this Wooden Dragon remnant soul, you may be able to preserve its existence.
By harnessing the strength of this Wooden Dragon remnant soul, there is a possibility of ending this demon disaster.
Success will reward you with a First-Grade Opportunity and an abundance of treasures."
As he processed this information, Jiang Fan’s pupils shrank, and he stood momentarily paralyzed by the revelation.
He had previously assumed that raising the Skill Level of the Fortune-Telling Talisman to the Perfection Level would significantly boost his capacity for Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil.
Yet, he hadn't anticipated an upgrade this profound.
The innate divine technique, Destiny Hint, seemed capable of peering through layers of potential futures.
The data he received regarding the future was far too vast and incredibly precise.
It was so detailed that it felt as though he had already lived through these timelines multiple times.
"The previous power of the Fortune-Telling Talisman was absolute garbage compared to the capability of Destiny Hint," Jiang Fan thought, his heart racing with emotion.
In the past, using the Fortune-Telling Talisman only provided him with vague glimpses of what was to come.
He was never entirely certain about the specifics of future events.
Now, however, the power of Destiny Hint granted him comprehensive knowledge of the future.
This was an invaluable advantage.
Investing a mere million Luck Points to acquire such a staggering ability was an incredible bargain.
"So, the Wood Dragon Secret Realm actually hides the remnant soul of a True Spirit?
And it’s not just a hatchling, but a fully grown True Spirit.
Even as a mere remnant soul, the power it holds must be monumental.
Without the guidance of Destiny Hint, no one would ever have known.
It appears this truly is the only path forward."
A sharp light flickered in Jiang Fan’s eyes.
Since a First-Grade Opportunity was within reach, he had no intention of letting it slip away.
While Destiny Hint Two offered significant rewards, they paled in comparison to the potential of Destiny Hint Three.
One might earn him a million, but the other could yield a hundred million.
Even a fool could see which path to take.
With his mind made up, Jiang Fan immediately sent a message to Poisonless Fire: "Don't panic; just hold the line against those demons for now. I am coming to personally resolve this demon disaster. However, if the situation becomes impossible, do not throw your life away; just find a place to hide."
He was already aware of the Wood Dragon Secret Realm's coordinates.
It was located on Wood Dragon Island, an island within the territory governed by the Poisonous Scale Flood Dragon Race.
Under normal circumstances, this area was strictly guarded by the Poisonous Scale Flood Dragons, with entry forbidden to outsiders.
However, Jiang Fan had visited the island before with the assistance of Poisonless Fire and the other Flood Dragons.
He had already established spatial coordinates there.
Consequently, he could instantly transport himself to Wood Dragon Island using the Gate of the Void.
"Understood, Master."
Upon receiving the message, Poisonless Fire and the other Nascent Soul Flood Dragons felt a surge of excitement.
They were convinced that if their master intervened, this demon disaster would be easily handled.
Swoosh~~
At that moment, Jiang Fan summoned the Gate of the Void. His form vanished instantly, reappearing on Wood Dragon Island.
"Hmm?!"
As soon as he arrived, Jiang Fan spotted a massive spatial rift opening in the sky—the Gate of Space leading into the Wood Dragon Secret Realm.
From within this gateway, an endless stream of demons poured out in staggering numbers.
Red-eyed demon wolves emerged through thick strands of slime, their horns tangled with twitching limbs; massive, thorn-clad spiders lunged forward with scythe-like legs, their webbing melting the rocks upon contact; further back, humanoid demons encased in pulsating armor of blood and flesh dripped dark ichor that burned deep holes into the earth.
Demonic Qi billowed like a tide of black ink, obscuring the entire sky.
The ground shuddered under the weight of the demonic horde, and the vibrant greenery withered and turned to ash before his eyes.
The air grew heavy with the sharp stench of rot—a sickening abyssal perfume that sparked primal dread.
As the demons continued to flood out, the land seemed swallowed by an eternal night, illuminated only by the ghostly green glow of their eyes, which flickered like countless will-o’-the-wisps.
"Curse it! Why are there so many demons inside the Wood Dragon Secret Realm? Wasn't this supposed to be a land of fortune for the Poisonous Scale Flood Dragon Race?"
"We've been set up! The Poisonous Scale Flood Dragon Race must have known about this and sent us here to die. If I get out of this alive, they will pay dearly!"
"You're talking nonsense! Weren't you the ones who pressured our Poisonous Scale Flood Dragon Race to open the Wood Dragon Secret Realm? When did we ever force you to come inside?"
"Let me be clear: the Wood Dragon Secret Realm was already crawling with demons. They were only kept inside because our ancestor used his Divinity Transformation power to suppress them. Now that he has disappeared, the demons are running wild. Did you honestly think a Divinity Transformation Opportunity would be easy to get?"
"Stop arguing! We have to hold off these demons and get out of here. If this continues, none of us will survive; we can't afford to fight among ourselves now."
"He's right. If we don't stop these demons here, the entire Black Dragon Sea Region will fall. This isn't just our problem anymore."
"Fight with everything you have! Kill these demons and don't let a single one escape this island!"
The expressions of the various Demon Race Cultivators were grim to the extreme.
They never imagined that opening the Wood Dragon Secret Realm would trigger such a horrific demon disaster.
They had been thrust into a catastrophic struggle for survival.
Among the gathered cultivators were Poisonless Fire, Poisonless Water, Poisonless Soil, Poisonless Gold, and Poisonless Wood—all late-stage Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators.
Yet, even with their strength, the unrelenting waves of powerful demons put them under massive strain.
There were Tier Four Demons among the ranks, and even more concerningly, terrifying auras were beginning to emanate from the depths of the Gate of Space.
Some felt like they could be Tier Five.
This was the true source of terror for the demon cultivators.
No one knew how many more monstrous entities were waiting to emerge.
Rumble~~
In an instant, the demon cultivators and the demonic horde slammed into each other in a violent clash.
The island shook violently, mountains crumbled, and the earth was torn apart by jagged fissures.
"This is the perfect opening."
Jiang Fan’s eyes brightened as the Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaf began to radiate a strange energy that wrapped around him.
It masked his aura entirely and made his presence nearly imperceptible.
Neither the battling demons nor the cultivators could sense him at all.
He had become as invisible as the air itself.
Swoosh!
Taking advantage of the chaotic warfare, Jiang Fan moved like a ghost. Using the technique of Shrinking Earth into Inches, he blurred toward the Gate of Space leading into the Wood Dragon Secret Realm.
The emerging demons failed to notice him, allowing Jiang Fan to slip through the Gate of Space and enter the Wood Dragon Secret Realm completely undetected.
