Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 867 - 437: Life Chart: Only I am Venerable, Child of Destiny of the Spirit Ruins Realm

"Has the Human Race in this domain actually been unified?"

"There are even Mahayana cultivators present."

"It truly is an expansive world."

Jiang Fan pondered while stroking his chin.

The staggering scale of the Spirit Ruins Realm was something he could clearly feel; it completely eclipsed the Void Realm of the current age.

Perhaps only the Void Realm during the Ancient Era could have surpassed it.

In this day and age, however, it simply could not compare.

Still, this might be a fortunate development.

It meant that he could harvest a wealth of cultivation resources within this world.

These materials would assist his progression toward Divinity Transformation, or even further into the Refining Void, Integration, and Mahayana stages.

Should he stay in the Void Realm, even the act of cultivating during the Divinity Transformation stage would be an arduous struggle.

Advancing to the realms beyond that would be nearly impossible.

"What exactly is this so-called Spirit Ruins Secret Realm?"

"Is it comparable to the Secret Realm worlds found in our Void Realm?"

The Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron inquired with curiosity.

"They are actually quite alike, though they go by different names," the Primordial Talisman Pen explained.

"However, there is one key distinction."

"Some Spirit Ruins Secret Realms are rumored to have originated from the Immortal Realm."

"It is said they are derived from the Immortal Cave Mansions of that higher plane."

"Because of this, lucky individuals within the Spirit Ruins Realm frequently stumble upon Immortal Realm opportunities and inheritances, allowing them to rise to incredible heights."

"If that's the case, then this world is indeed filled with endless possibilities."

The Exquisite Tower, Demon Refining Pot, Demon-Vibrating Bell, and the other Magical Treasures grew excited instantly.

They harbored the hope that this world might hold the chance for them to evolve into Immortal Artifacts.

Since the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron had already succeeded in becoming an Immortal Artifact, they believed it was possible for them as well.

"Nevertheless, the Human Race civilizations of the Spirit Ruins Realm and the Void Realm differ significantly."

"Because the Human Race is unified here, the Spirit Ruins Realm lacks structures like a Sect."

"Commoners reside in cities, and once they reach a specific age, the dynasty dispatches officials to test their Spirit Roots."

"Those without Spirit Roots enroll in the Martial Dao Academy, while those with Spirit Roots enter the Taoist Academy. There, they receive fundamental cultivation techniques and personal instruction from high-level cultivators, effectively establishing a system of mandatory education."

"The top-tier graduates of the Taoist Academy either serve as officials for the Great Xuan Dynasty or join its military ranks."

"Standard graduates depart from the Taoist Academy to enter various merchant guilds and organizations, where they can earn cultivation resources and higher-level techniques."

The Primordial Talisman Pen went on with its explanation.

The cultivation cultures of the Spirit Ruins Realm and the Void Realm were undeniably poles apart.

This divergence was the result of the Spirit Ruins Realm’s unique history and its abundance of resources.

"So, every Human Race cultivator in this world essentially becomes a government official."

"Furthermore, the dynasty holds absolute power, keeping the entire Human Race under one banner."

"The Great Xuan Dynasty has remained unchanged for hundreds of millions of years."

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin, finding the Spirit Ruins Realm more intriguing the more he learned.

"It isn't that the leadership never changes; 'Great Xuan Dynasty' is simply the title of the regime."

"In truth, many emperors have come and gone, and the royal lineage has shifted numerous times."

"Anyone who attains the rank of Mahayana cultivator has the potential to become the Emperor of the Great Xuan Dynasty, thereby establishing a new royal family."

"The talented rise to the top while the weak fall away; such is the nature of the Great Xuan Dynasty."

The Primordial Talisman Pen clarified.

"Does that mean the Great Xuan Dynasty is actually quite chaotic?"

Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes.

"That depends on the location."

"Within the cities, things are quite secure."

"Under the protection of strict laws and powerful arrays, cultivators living in urban areas do not dare to cause trouble. If they do, they are hunted by the dynasty with no hope of escape."

"However, in the wilderness or inside Spirit Ruins Secret Realms, anything can happen."

"Despite the wealth of resources in the Spirit Ruins Realm, cultivators still fight constantly."

"No matter how many resources exist, the demand always exceeds the supply," the Primordial Talisman Pen remarked.

"I see."

Jiang Fan nodded. Regardless of the risks, this world was certainly a better place for cultivation than the Void Realm.

In the future, the cultivation resources he would require would likely need to be sourced from the Spirit Ruins Realm.

Boom~~

Suddenly, a mental vibration struck deep into his sea of consciousness.

"Fate is often unpredictable; a single moment of negligence can lead one into the abyss. This applies to you as much as anyone else."

"Fate shall offer you guidance."

"Fate Tip One: The flap of a butterfly's wings can trigger a tempest a thousand miles away. You, having attained the Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul stage, are no different. Your decisions will influence countless lives and even the destiny of this entire world. A woman is currently facing a life-or-death tribulation not far from your place of seclusion. If you intervene, you can help her survive this trial, allowing her to rise to greatness, and you will reap significant rewards."

"Fate Tip Two: You may choose to stay out of it and watch the woman die. Doing so will cost you nothing personally, but it will shift the destiny of the Spirit Ruins Realm, drawing it closer to a great disaster."

"This..."

As he processed the message, Jiang Fan’s pupils shrank.

He had not anticipated a fate tip appearing now, specifically directing him to save a woman.

Based on the details of the tip, the identity of this mysterious woman had to be incredible.

She was someone who could actually influence the future of the Spirit Ruins Realm.

To be honest, he was aware that only a specific type of person carried such weight—a Child of Fortune, or perhaps even a Child of Destiny. Only the death of such a person could fundamentally shift the course of an entire world.
