Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 789 - 401: A Great Harvest—Obtaining the Sub-Immortal Artifact, Immortal Slaying Flying Saber

"At your current level, these matters remain far too out of reach."

"Concentrate on your cultivation for the time being."

"You will only be qualified to manage such affairs once you have ascended to the Divinity Transformation stage."

The True Spirit Wood Dragon offered no further clarification.

In its eyes, Jiang Fan was still far too fragile, being merely at the Fifth-Layer Nascent Soul realm.

During the Ancient Era, a cultivator of such rank would be viewed as nothing more than a novice.

To truly possess influence, one had to reach Divinity Transformation or even higher realms of power.

Nevertheless, the dragon acknowledged that reaching this stage in a short period—especially in an era where Spiritual Qi was so depleted—was a truly impressive feat.

"I understand."

Jiang Fan gave a nod.

Though his mind was clouded with questions, he recognized that his current cultivation made the truth irrelevant, as he lacked the strength to stop such disasters. Only by advancing his cultivation further, reaching Divinity Transformation and beyond, could he hope to unravel the world's mysteries.

"However, you have saved my life, which is a debt of gratitude I must acknowledge."

"Before you are the nine treasures I currently hold."

"You are permitted to select one as your prize."

With a gentle sweep of the True Spirit Wood Dragon’s claw, nine golden orbs suddenly manifested in the air. Each sphere held a hidden artifact, but they were shrouded in golden energy, preventing Jiang Fan from seeing what lay within.

Boom~~

In that instant, a message surged into the core of Jiang Fan’s mind. He realized that his destiny hint had been triggered once again.

"The True Spirit Wood Dragon has just woken. It senses the coming destruction of the Void Realm and, being an Ancient True Spirit, it holds secrets that no other being in this realm possesses. Securing its full cooperation will provide you with limitless advantages.

However, your cultivation level is too low; to the Wood Dragon, you are merely a speck. Even with a Dao Contract signed, it is an agreement of equals and cannot force the Wood Dragon to obey you.

Even so, the Wood Dragon is giving you an opportunity. It wishes to test if you are the fabled Child of Destiny. Should you prove to be so, it will follow your commands without question."

"Fortunately, destiny provides you with a guide."

"Destiny hint one: Pick the third treasure from the left; it is the most precious of the nine. By choosing it, the Wood Dragon will accept you as the Child of Destiny and provide its total support."

"Destiny hint two: Selecting any other treasure will not result in a loss, as they are all high-quality items. However, the Wood Dragon will feel a sense of disappointment and proceed with its own separate plans, causing you to lose its future assistance."

As he processed this information, Jiang Fan’s eyes narrowed. He understood that this was a pivotal choice of destiny.

Without the guidance of the destiny hint, he likely wouldn't have identified the most valuable item. Even if he missed out on the Wood Dragon’s help, it wouldn't be the end of the world for him; he had enough confidence to reach the peak through his own efforts.

However, gaining the support of the Wood Dragon would be a massive boon, essentially granting him the backing of a Great Power. Having such a powerful protector at his beck and call was an opportunity he would not ignore.

"Go ahead, make your choice from the treasures."

The True Spirit Wood Dragon watched Jiang Fan intently, testing to see if this human was indeed the legendary Child of Destiny. It was said that when the world neared its end, the Heavenly Dao would give rise to such individuals. These people possessed incredible Destiny, allowing them to turn every crisis into an opportunity. For them, even a simple walk could lead to the discovery of rare treasures.

The dragon had encountered a few such Children of Destiny during the Ancient Era. This human, capable of forming a Dao Contract and bringing the dragon back to life, clearly possessed significant Destiny. But whether he was truly a Child of Destiny remained to be seen. Thus, the dragon set this trial. If he truly held that status, he would inevitably pick the finest treasure. Following such a person might be the only way to save the Void Realm. If not, the dragon would depart and find its own path to salvation.

"I choose this one."

Jiang Fan didn't hesitate, pointing to the third treasure as the destiny hint suggested.

Boom~~

The golden orb shattered instantly. A black dagger appeared before him, etched with complex and mysterious runes. It emitted a terrifying, freezing light that seemed capable of slicing through the void itself.

Just looking at the blade caused Jiang Fan to see visions of blood-soaked battlefields and endless corpses. Countless streaks of Sword Intent clashed within it, radiating a murderous aura that made other Magical Treasures pulse with fear.

"What kind of Magical Treasure is this?"

Jiang Fan’s pupils shrank. He could feel the extraordinary nature of the weapon and the devastating power it contained. He felt that if its power were turned against him, even he might not survive.

"This is a Sub-Immortal Artifact I acquired long ago, known as the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber."

"It is a replica of the legendary Immortal Artifact from the Immortal Realm that shares its name."

"Even as a copy, it carries a trace of the true intent of annihilation."

"A single strike from this blade is enough to instantly erase an opponent from existence."
