Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 844 - 426: Another Fate Warning, Calamities Arrive in Succession (Part 2)

"Everything is ruined, utterly ruined. If the Purple Fire Daoist descends into the Demon Dao and successfully achieves Divinity Transformation, how can our Righteous Dao hope to compete? We are facing total extermination," one voice cried out in despair.

"We must depart for the Shennong Sect this instant. The Purple Fire Daoist cannot be permitted to reach the Divinity Transformation stage; if he succeeds, it spells our certain doom."

A chorus of anxious shouts erupted from the gathered Nascent Soul cultivators. They were desperate to reach the Shennong Sect and execute the Purple Fire Daoist, whom they now branded a traitorous renegade of the Righteous Dao.

It was a source of profound shame for the Righteous Dao that one of their own Nascent Soul experts had succumbed to the darkness of the Demon Dao.

Among the crowd, the eyes of several Nascent Soul cultivators flickered with uncertainty as they secretly contemplated fleeing.

They knew that reaching the Shennong Sect in time was likely an impossible task.

By the time they arrived, they might find themselves standing before a Purple Fire Daoist who had already completed his ascension to Divinity Transformation.

In such a scenario, traveling to the Shennong Sect would be nothing more than a suicide mission.

Instead of throwing their lives away, they considered it wiser to gather their belongings and escape immediately; perhaps a slim chance of survival still remained.

"There is no cause for panic; your information is incomplete," a calm voice interrupted the chaos.

"Just moments ago, the Purple Fire Daoist met his complete end."

"Word has arrived that a mysterious Nascent Soul cultivator launched a sudden ambush, striking him down."

"The Purple Fire Daoist sustained catastrophic injuries and has perished entirely."

It was the Sect Leader of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect who spoke, attempting to soothe the fears of his fellow Daoists.

He knew that the situation had not yet reached its most critical breaking point.

"Is this true? Another Nascent Soul was aware of the situation and actually managed to kill the Purple Fire Daoist?"

The assembly of Nascent Souls was stunned, caught off guard by this sudden reversal of fortune.

However, the news allowed them to breathe a sigh of relief, realizing the Righteous Dao had avoided its darkest hour—for now.

"It is absolutely true," the Sect Leader confirmed.

"In a matter involving life and death, I would never speak falsely."

"But do you not find this situation peculiar?"

"How do these demon cultivators suddenly possess the means to attempt Divinity Transformation?"

"The Divinity Transformation Thunder Tribulation is notoriously lethal; how can they dare to face it?"

"What fundamental thing has shifted?"

The Sect Leader of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect spoke with a heavy, solemn tone.

Despite the death of the Purple Fire Daoist, he felt no sense of relief.

Instead, a dark shadow of worry clouded his expression.

Under ordinary circumstances, both the Demon Dao and the Righteous Dao found the path to Divinity Transformation nearly impossible to navigate.

Yet, while the Righteous Dao remained stagnant, the Demon Dao seemed to have discovered a breakthrough.

This represented the true crisis for the Righteous Dao.

After all, if there was one Purple Fire Daoist, there would inevitably be a second and a third.

Could they possibly intervene every single time?

"This..."

The Nascent Soul cultivators fell into a pensive silence, finally grasping that something profound had changed within the ranks of the demon cultivators.

An unsettling dread began to spread, casting a grim shadow over the entire Southern Continent.

......

Meanwhile, at the Shennong Sect.

Jiang Fan had thoroughly plundered every treasure within the sect's walls.

As a Nascent Soul Sect with a lineage spanning thousands of years, their treasury was overflowing with riches.

Naturally, the bulk of the haul consisted of various spirit medicines, potent elixirs, and the secret elixir recipes they had gathered over the ages.

With the wealth salvaged from the Shennong Sect, one could easily establish a new Nascent Soul Sect from scratch.

For Jiang Fan, the acquisition of such a massive quantity of elixirs and spirit medicines was the ultimate prize.

With these vast Cultivation resources, he could rapidly push his strength toward the Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul.

Once he achieved that rank, reaching the pinnacle of Nascent Soul Perfection would be well within his grasp.

"This is a magnificent harvest."

"With a few days of secluded Cultivation, I should be able to break through to the Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul."

Jiang Fan tightened his grip, his heart filled with eager anticipation.

Deep within, he felt a nagging sense of urgency, a premonition that time was slipping away.

Claiming the Human Emperor Sword had accelerated the changes within the Void Realm.

If his Cultivation remained at the Nascent Soul level, he would likely struggle to survive the coming upheavals in the Void Realm.

At the very least, he needed to reach Divinity Transformation to stand on equal footing with the other ancient entities.

Boom~~

Suddenly, a profound message surged directly into the depths of Jiang Fan’s sea of consciousness.

"Fate is a fickle thing; just as you believe you are secure, disasters arrive in succession. This is the truth of the saying, 'misfortunes never come singly.' Though you have slain the Purple Fire Daoist and halted a Demon Cultivator’s rise to Divinity Transformation, the grand conspiracy of the Southern Continent's Demon Cultivators remains intact. They have other plans in motion."

"Fate shall grant you guidance."

"Fate Tip One: The Demon Cultivators of the Southern Continent hold many hidden trump cards. The Purple Fire Daoist was merely a single piece on the board. Even now, the Sect Leader of the Six Desires Sect, Lu Hai Demon Monarch, possesses the means to ascend to Divinity Transformation. You have only three days."

Should three days pass, your enemy will undoubtedly succeed in his ascension, becoming a Divinity Transformation Demon Cultivator within the Southern Continent. He will lead a tide of Demon Cultivators to ravage the entire region.

Without a Divinity Transformation expert of their own, the Righteous Dao will be powerless to stop these terrifying foes. The Southern Continent will be consumed by a demonic catastrophe, resulting in staggering losses for the human race.

Therefore, you must depart immediately for the Demon Wind Valley in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range—the site where Lu Hai Demon Monarch intends to face his tribulation. Many Nascent Soul cultivators have gathered there. You can catch them off guard, slaughter these Demon Cultivators, and utterly shatter their plot.

Such a devastating blow will ensure the Demon Cultivators of the Southern Continent have no hope of reaching Divinity Transformation for another century. This is your sole opportunity; please proceed with extreme caution."

"Fate Tip Two: If you find this task too burdensome, you may choose to ignore the Demon Wind Valley. You can watch as Lu Hai Demon Monarch ascends, witness the Demon Cultivators overrun the Southern Continent, and observe as the land is swallowed by a demonic plague."
