Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 801 - 406: Guided by Fate, Truly the Child of Destiny (Part 2)

"Have you really established a contract with two fledgling True Spirits?"

"They appear to be the lineages of the Kunpeng and the Flame Dragon from the old eras."

"Is it possible they actually survived those ancient times?"

"And yet, these two young True Spirits were found by this human and even bound to him by contract."

"He is undoubtedly the Child of Destiny, blessed by the Heavenly Dao itself."

"Aligning with this human was clearly the correct path."

"The key to resolving the impending great calamity likely rests with him."

The gaze of the Wooden Dragon, Cang Teng, flickered with deep thought.

It had observed the various talents of this human, Jiang Fan, on multiple occasions.

Nevertheless, every new revelation left it stunned, feeling as though this human possessed an inexhaustible supply of secret techniques and trump cards.

In this current age, True Spirits should have reached total extinction.

However, three True Spirits now surrounded this single human; such a sight was unheard of even during the peak of the Ancient Era. If he was not the Child of Destiny, then who could be?

The dragon became increasingly certain of its decision.

Meanwhile, the three True Spirits remained quiet, each lost in their own reflections without speaking to one another.

Instead, a heavy silence fell between them.

"Tonight we strike the Divinity Transformation Holy Lands of the Western Continent," Jiang Fan declared.

"I will utilize the Gate of Space to transport each of you to different Divinity Transformation Holy Lands."

"The amount of treasure you seize will depend entirely on your own prowess."

"Once your task is finished, use the Gate of Space to return to this location."

"If you move with enough haste, the Demon Cultivators guarding those four Divinity Transformation Holy Lands won't be able to intercept you."

Jiang Fan gave a concise summary of the mission.

In truth, complex strategy wasn't necessary.

With the innate power of the three True Spirits, while they might not be completely invincible, it was virtually impossible for those Demon Cultivators to kill them. At the very least, they could easily break through and escape the Holy Land grounds.

The plan was essentially guaranteed to succeed; the only question was the scale of the plunder.

Taking advantage of the absence of the Divinity Transformation Cultivators to loot their homes was a golden opportunity.

Boom~~

Suddenly, Jiang Fan acted, triggering the Gate of the Void.

Four Gates of Space instantly manifested on the ground, each one linked to a specific destination.

He naturally assigned specific targets for the three True Spirits.

The Kunpeng was sent to the Immortal Fox Race's domain, the Flame Dragon to the Ice Soul Race's territory, and the Wooden Dragon to the lands of the Jiao Dragon Race. Jiang Fan himself would infiltrate the Celestial Roc Race.

Whiz, whiz, whiz!!!

As soon as the instructions were given, the three True Spirits moved without delay, stepping into their respective Gates of Space and vanishing.

Jiang Fan followed suit.

With a flash, he passed through the Gate of the Void and arrived at the outskirts of the Celestial Roc Race's Holy Land.

"So, this is where the Celestial Roc Race resides?"

Jiang Fan scanned the horizon.

From his vantage point, the Holy Land was enveloped in snow-white mists, appearing as mysterious and ethereal as a divine realm. Under the glow of the moon, the edges of these clouds gleamed with a silver luster, as if the Holy Land were draped in a shimmering silver veil.

Towering mountains, nearly ten thousand feet high and vibrant with green life, rolled across the landscape like a massive dragon protecting the sanctuary. The peaks were thick with flora, where rare blossoms and exotic herbs released intoxicating scents into the air.

A translucent stream meandered from the heights, its waters reflecting a spectrum of colors under the light like a liquid rainbow before flowing into the heart of the Holy Land.

However, through his Spiritual Sense, Jiang Fan could see that the entire region was encased in a massive Tier Five Restriction Array. Intricate array symbols were woven deep into the fabric of space, appearing dangerously complex.

Any common cultivator who dared to trespass would certainly be obliterated by the Restriction Array.

At that moment, numerous Celestial Roc Cultivators were entering and exiting the main gates. Their expressions were grim and filled with a palpable killing intent, clearly preparing for some sort of military mobilization.

Even with the Divinity Transformation Cultivators of the Celestial Roc Race currently away, the place remained a deadly fortress.

Boom~~

Right then, a new message resonated within the depths of Jiang Fan’s sea of consciousness.

“You have reached the Holy Land of the Celestial Roc Race. This is the core of their power and home to their masses. However, you are a stranger here and lack knowledge of the terrain. To plunder vast cultivation resources and escape unharmed would normally be an impossible feat. Fortunately, you possess the Destiny Hint, which turns the impossible into reality.”

“Destiny Hint One: Launch a direct assault on the Celestial Roc Holy Land. A true warrior meets steel with steel. Given your current power, the average Celestial Roc Cultivator is no match for you. Your strike will cause massive casualties among their ranks.

However, you will be bogged down by these defenders. Once the enraged Divinity Transformation Cultivators of the Celestial Roc Race receive word, they will return instantly, forcing you to face the fury of three Divinity Transformation masters.

While you can escape using the Gate of the Void, you will lose the chance to fully loot the Holy Land, and your status as a human will be revealed to the Demon Race.”

“Destiny Hint Two: While facing steel is brave, caution is the mark of a master. There is no need to alert the Celestial Roc Race immediately. You can sneak into the Holy Land by utilizing the Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaf.

Although the Tier Five Array is designed to detect intruders instantly, the Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaf can easily bypass its senses.

For maximum profit, head toward the Treasure Hall. Located in the northwest of the Holy Land, this massive palace contains the wealth and Spirit Medicines gathered over tens of thousands of years. Emptying this hall would deal a devastating blow to the Celestial Roc Race.

The hall is guarded by nine hidden Nascent Soul Cultivators. If you can take them out instantly, you will have ample time to pillage the treasury. Otherwise, you will be discovered, leading to an endless swarm of reinforcements and significantly reduced loot.”

As he processed the information, a sharp light flickered in Jiang Fan’s eyes.

He had been debating the best way to raid the place, but he hadn't expected the Destiny Hint to provide such vital intelligence.

In a heartbeat, it had exposed the Holy Land's vulnerabilities and given him a clear objective.

This gave him a great sense of relief.

After all, the unknown is a cultivator's greatest enemy.

Whiz!

With his path decided, Jiang Fan activated the power of the Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaf.

A strange, mystical energy wrapped around him, turning his body completely invisible. His aura and presence vanished entirely, making him practically non-existent to the world.

He soon reached the primary gates of the Celestial Roc Holy Land.

This served as the sole entry point for the sect.

At this time, many Celestial Roc Cultivators were passing through the entrance.

The Grand Array scrutinized every individual who entered.

Anyone who wasn't a member of the Celestial Roc Race would normally be flagged immediately.

But shielded by the Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaf, Jiang Fan walked right past the guards alongside the local cultivators. He stepped into the Holy Land effortlessly, the Restriction Array failing to notice his existence.

He was like a ghost, as undetectable as the wind.

"That was incredibly easy."

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin, surprised at how smoothly he had breached the Celestial Roc Holy Land. It was all thanks to the Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaf.

Without such a treasure, the task would have been far more difficult.

He likely would have been spotted the moment he approached.

In truth, he felt a growing desire to find the remaining pieces of the Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaf.

Sadly, completing the artifact was no simple matter.

No one knew where the fragments had been scattered across the Void Realm.

Finding even three pieces had been a stroke of incredible fortune.

"It is time the Celestial Roc Race paid their debt."

With a blur of motion, Jiang Fan utilized Shrinking Earth into Inches, vanishing from the gate in an instant.

Guided by the Destiny Hint, he sped toward the northwest.

In a matter of minutes, the Treasure Hall of the Celestial Roc Race appeared before him.

It was a grand, imposing palace.

The entire structure radiated opulence, protected by a dense network of Restriction Arrays. Complex runes were etched into the walls, ready to discharge lethal power if disturbed.

Surrounding the building, nine Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Celestial Roc Race stood watch from the shadows, maintaining a flawless perimeter.
