Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 833 - 421: A Million Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivators and Three Hundred Tier Four Spirit Beasts

"Hmm? The concentration of Spiritual Qi within the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm has grown significantly denser."

"Could the Spirit Vein here have actually been promoted to the Tier Six level?"

Upon his return to the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm, Xiao Huo immediately detected a change. The density of Spiritual Qi had surged by more than forty to fifty percent compared to his last visit, a development he found truly incredible.

After all, this location originally possessed a Tier Five Spirit Vein, which was already on par with the finest Spirit Veins found in the Void Realm; typically, further elevation was considered impossible.

Nevertheless, the Spirit Vein’s potency had undeniably improved, leaving him thoroughly astonished.

"If a revival of Spiritual Energy is indeed occurring throughout the Void Realm, then such a phenomenon is not entirely impossible," the Fire Dragon Tripod commented.

"Senior Brother Xiao, you have returned."

At that moment, Xiao Huo was spotted by the cultivators stationed near the Gate of Space.

Even though the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm is relatively secure, measures must be taken against the unexpected. Consequently, a significant number of sect cultivators are always on guard near every Gate of Space.

They greeted Xiao Huo with visible joy, clearly recognizing the status of this True Disciple.

"Yes, greetings, Junior Brothers."

"It appears the number of Junior Brothers assigned to guard duty here has increased quite a bit," Xiao Huo remarked with curiosity.

He instinctively felt that the ranks of the Primordial Talisman Sect had swelled.

Originally, only a handful of disciples were tasked with guarding this area.

Now, however, there were twenty or thirty present.

It was obvious that the sect’s disciples were far more numerous than before.

Otherwise, such a lavish deployment of manpower would be out of the question.

"Indeed, the sect’s membership has grown tremendously compared to the past."

"The count of Qi Cultivation Stage Disciples alone has reached the millions."

"Furthermore, the mortal population has surpassed four billion," a Junior Brother explained with a sigh of amazement.

He was among the first generation of disciples to join the Primordial Talisman Sect, and his Cultivation had reached the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation.

He stood just a single step away from Foundation Establishment.

At present, he was busy gathering Contribution Points in hopes of obtaining a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Because of this, he was well-informed regarding the spectacular growth of the Primordial Talisman Sect.

In the beginning, there were only a few hundred or perhaps a thousand Qi Cultivation Stage Disciples.

Yet, in the span of just a few decades, that number had climbed into the millions.

It was fair to say that Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators had become so common that they were losing their rarity.

"How did the number of disciples multiply so quickly?"

"I have only been gone for a few years; what exactly took place?"

Xiao Huo was left stunned and deeply surprised.

He did not feel as though he had been absent for decades—only seven or eight years had passed.

Yet, the sect had evolved to a point where he barely recognized it.

"This is because the sect’s reach is no longer confined to the West Continent."

"Our influence has begun to encompass the Black Dragon Sea Region."

"It is described as a vast, limitless sea within the Void Realm, filled with an endless number of islands."

"This region is home to a massive population of mortals."

"In that area, humans are the dominant force and hold the ruling power."

"As a result, the humans of the Black Dragon Sea Region do not suffer the same pitiable fate as those on the West Continent."

"They have not been reduced to mere fodder for the Demon Race."

"Over these years, we have been bringing in mortals from the Black Dragon Sea Region, which is why the number of disciples has surged so much," the sect disciple clarified.

"Yes, it is rumored that in the future, our sect’s portal will reach other corners of the Void Realm."

"Locations like the Eastern, Southern, and Northern Continents are mentioned, though paths to those places haven't been established yet."

"I had heard that the Void Realm was vast and without end; now it seems those claims were true."

"It is a pity our Cultivation is still too low. Since we haven't reached Foundation Establishment, we aren't permitted to leave the Secret Realm for now."

"It doesn't matter; we are right at the threshold of Foundation Establishment. We will break through as soon as we can trade for a Foundation Establishment Pill."

"The Human Race dominated the world during the Ancient Era, and we can achieve that same glory in this age."

The group of disciples chatted with excitement, their faces full of hope.

Listening to them, Xiao Huo felt a wave of deep emotion.

He realized that the mentality of the humans from the West Continent had undergone a radical transformation.

He remembered when the first humans arrived at the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm; they were as timid as mice. Back then, the idea of dominating the Void Realm was unthinkable, and even standing up to the Demon Race was a rare act of bravery.

None of those mortals possessed such boldness.

But as the decades rolled by, new generations were born and the old ones passed away.

The cultivators and mortals raised within the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm had never known the cruelty of the Demon Race. Instead, they had only known the steady rise of the Primordial Talisman Sect. Each was profoundly confident, certain that they were the equals of any demon race.

They even harbored the ambition to replace them and rule the Void Realm.

It could only be said that the times had truly changed.

"There are Tier Four Demon Cultivators here?!"

Suddenly, Xiao Huo’s eyes narrowed. He was shocked to see a massive Flood Dragon coiled nearby. It radiated a terrifying pressure, though it was currently slumbering and paying no mind to its surroundings.

There was no mistake; its power was at the Nascent Soul level.

If it were to turn violent, the cultivators gathered here would be no match for it.

"Senior Brother, that Tier Four Spirit Beast of our sect is Elder Jiao."

"He is one of the four Flood Dragons tasked with protecting the gateway," a disciple whispered.

He spoke softly, clearly afraid that the Flood Dragon might overhear and take offense.

"Does our sect truly possess so many Tier Four Spirit Beasts now?"
