Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 806 - 409: Return to the Southern Continent, The Secret of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
Meanwhile, the operations of the Divinity Transformation Cultivators from the Celestial Roc Race, Jiao Dragon Race, Immortal Fox Race, and Ice Soul Race were also meeting with significant failure.
Because their ancestral homes had been raided, tribes like the Silver Moon Wolf Race immediately became alert to the impending danger and fled their original positions with great speed.
Consequently, these high-level cultivators arrived at the designated coordinates only to find them completely deserted.
During this time, they also received urgent reports that an unidentified enemy had struck their Holy Land and thoroughly plundered the treasure vault.
This alarming news forced them to retreat back to the Holy Land in a desperate rush.
It could be said that this entire maneuver left them empty-handed on both fronts, resulting in catastrophic losses.
"Who is it? Who exactly attacked the Holy Lands of our four great races?"
Peng Wuji, a Divinity Transformation Cultivator of the Celestial Roc Race, was consumed by rage.
This represented the most devastating blow the Celestial Roc Race had endured in tens of thousands of years. The immense wealth gathered over countless generations had been stolen by that thief, making him so furious he nearly spat out blood, feeling as though a piece of his own flesh had been carved away.
He had never imagined that an enemy would possess the audacity to invade the Holy Land of the Celestial Roc Race while he was away, much less loot the vault with such ease.
Even more galling was the fact that the identity of the culprit remained a total mystery.
"It’s a trap, this entire situation was nothing but a setup."
"I suspect the Silver Moon Wolf Race intentionally leaked their own whereabouts to lure our cultivators away, thereby creating a window for other enemies to strike our Holy Land."
"We truly fell into their snare this time. It is a painful and profound lesson. Being the masters of this land for tens of thousands of years caused us to lose the vigilance we once held, resulting in this calamity."
Peng Xuanyuan, another Divinity Transformation Cultivator of the Celestial Roc Race, was filled with deep regret over his choices.
He reflected deeply on his tactical errors, realizing he should never have left the Holy Land completely unprotected; leaving even a single Divinity Transformation Cultivator behind might have prevented this disaster.
The issue was their overbearing arrogance; they believed no one on the Western Continent would dare to assault their Holy Land.
Even if someone attempted it, they assumed the Holy Land’s inherent defenses would be sufficient to drive back any intruders.
Nobody could have predicted that not only would the Holy Land fall, but every single treasure in the vault would be vanished.
This realization caused the three Divinity Transformation Cultivators of the Celestial Roc Race immense heartache.
They had no idea how many ages it would take for their race to amass such a fortune once again.
Now, everything was gone.
"The assailant is no simple character; being able to slaughter nine Nascent Soul cultivators in a heartbeat is not a feat an ordinary cultivator can achieve."
"Therefore, the enemy is very likely a Divinity Transformation Cultivator."
Peng Jiu Chen, the third Divinity Transformation Cultivator of the Celestial Roc Race, spoke with a grim expression.
He believed the primary concern was not the stolen goods, but the emergence of a new, unknown Divinity Transformation Cultivator.
Beyond their own ranks, it was previously unthinkable that a hidden Divinity Transformation Cultivator existed on the Western Continent.
Why did this individual suddenly manifest, and why at this specific moment?
What was their true objective?!
"Excluding the four great races, who else could have recently reached the Divinity Transformation stage?"
"Indeed, the disturbance created during the breakthrough to Divinity Transformation is massive, so we should have sensed it."
"Normally, that would be the case, but what if this stranger comes from beyond? Outside of our Western Continent, the Void Realm contains other landmasses where Divinity Transformation cultivators reside."
"How can that be? The gaps between continents are vast beyond measure; even a Divinity Transformation Cultivator would spend millennia crossing the oceans."
"What if they discovered an Ancient Teleportation Array? It is well known that the Western Continent hides many mysteries; perhaps an Ancient Teleportation Array exists somewhere, allowing outside Divinity Transformation Cultivators to arrive. We have seen travelers from other places over the last tens of thousands of years, so this is a distinct possibility."
"If foreign Divinity Transformation Cultivators have truly appeared, then the balance of power on the Western Continent may shift entirely."
The expressions of the three Celestial Roc Race Divinity Transformation Cultivators became exceptionally serious.
They sensed that the environment of the Western Continent had shifted, feeling the approach of a lethal crisis.
The danger they faced came not only from Tier Four races like the Silver Moon Wolf Race but also from these concealed Divinity Transformation Cultivators.
If not for the day's events, they would have remained ignorant of the fact that foreign Divinity Transformation cultivators were hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opening.
Consequently, the four great races became quite paranoid.
Their former arrogance vanished, replaced by a retraction of their forces and extreme caution in all actions.
However, they began a covert investigation into the newly surfaced foreign Divinity Transformation cultivators.
This caused the general atmosphere of the Western Continent to become somewhat more tranquil.
Yet, this was merely the silence before the storm—a fleeting peace.
...
Boom~
At that moment, the Gate of the Void swung open, and the True Spirits—Little Kunpeng Ming, Flame Dragon Jhin, and Wooden Dragon Cangvine—made their return.
They materialized above Primordial Peak with visible excitement, clearly having secured great spoils during this outing.
If they hadn't, these prestigious True Spirits would not be so visibly moved.
Whoosh!
Detecting their presence, Jiang Fan moved like a blur to stand before the three True Spirits.
"How did the mission go? Were there any complications?"
Jiang Fan asked.
"Heh, it was just the territory of a mere Tier Five race. How could they possibly hope to stop me?"
"Here is the loot from this trip, have a look."
Little Kunpeng Ming remarked with a boastful tone.
For a young True Spirit born with the innate Power of Space, a simple Tier Five Array was no obstacle at all.
He had infiltrated the enemy's land with ease, quietly plundering every treasure they possessed.
