Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 919 - 461: Heaven-Sent Merit, Surging Destiny_2

In that instant, a deadly threat loomed over it.

Should the human cultivator standing before it launch an attack, its demise was inevitable.

Naturally, it harbored no illusions that this human would hold back.

Uttering those words served only to stall for time.

It detected that formidable demons were about to arrive via teleportation from distant demon caves.

Enduring just a few more moments would ensure its survival.

"Noisy."

Jiang Fan saw through its intentions clearly and had no intention of exchanging further banter.

Gripping the Human Emperor Sword tightly, he swung it with ferocious might toward the massive demon core.

Boom~~

A fearsome golden sword beam erupted ahead, as if ripping the very fabric of this realm asunder.

The demon core, once deemed unbreakable, shattered in a flash beneath the overwhelming force of that golden sword light.

Without question, the Human Emperor Sword's might proved exceptionally potent against the demon cave.

Much like frost encountering the sun's rays, it dissolved swiftly, offering no resistance whatsoever.

"It’s over."

The Cyan Stone Demon Cave plunged into utter hopelessness, powerless to act as it felt its core crumble and its awareness shatter entirely.

In mere moments, it was wiped out, sinking into eternal void.

"Not bad."

Witnessing the total annihilation of the demon core, Jiang Fan felt the whole demon cave begin to crumble apart.

His mission in entering the Cyan Stone Demon Cave had been thoroughly accomplished.

A wave of relief washed over him involuntarily.

Though the endeavor appeared seamless without any surprises, Jiang Fan recognized it owed everything to the guidance of destiny’s warning.

Without piercing the veil of destiny’s haze, he likely would have fallen to the demons’ clutches ages ago.

Much less achieving the easy elimination of a Combined Demon and the demolition of the Cyan Stone Demon Cave.

Boom~~

Suddenly, Jiang Fan perceived the void quaking, as a radiant golden ray from above showered down, unveiling a multitude of intricate golden merit symbols brimming with boundless origin energy.

In a flash, this surge of power pierced straight into the depths of Jiang Fan’s form.

His cultivation base began surging upward at a pace plain to behold.

From a mere 1% progress in the Second-Layer Divinity Transformation, it leaped to 10%, 20%, 30%... in the wink of an eye.

Within only three breaths’ time, it hit the 100% mark.

Just a single step remained before breaking through to the Third-Layer Divinity Transformation.

Furthermore, this immense origin energy wasn’t fully consumed yet; he had taken in merely a fraction.

It coalesced into a gleaming golden orb, integrating seamlessly into his sea of consciousness.

"Heavenly gift."

"This is a gift from the Heavenly Dao."

Jiang Fan grasped the situation at once: by demolishing the demon core and obliterating the demon cave, he earned the Spirit Ruins Realm’s reward from the Heavenly Dao, attaining profound insights and assimilating tremendous origin energy.

That explained the explosive growth in his cultivation.

In no time at all, he attained perfection at the Second Layer of Divinity Transformation.

"Received a heavenly gift?"

"That’s quite normal."

"Similar events happened in the Ancient Era."

"If a cultivator makes a great contribution to heaven and earth, they receive gifts from the Heavenly Dao."

"But not every deed can earn a heavenly gift."

"Only truly world-saving deeds get acknowledged by the Heavenly Dao."

"Destroying a demon cave is such a deed."

The Human Emperor Sword stated this plainly after observing the occurrence.

It had witnessed numerous such instances in the past.

This mechanism emerged as a unique reward when the Heavenly Dao confronted disasters.

"Indeed, demon caves harm the world immensely."

"They’re akin to malignancies on the world, continuously devouring the world’s essence."

"Destroying a demon cave returns the devoured essence to the world."

"The world can even absorb the demon cave’s essence to strengthen itself."

"So receiving a heavenly gift is quite normal."

The Primordial Talisman Pen remarked gravely.

It had beheld sages in ancient times undertaking comparable feats.

Therefore, Jiang Fan’s demolition of a demon cave truly counted as a grand service to the world.

Like excising a malignant growth from the realm itself.

Thus, earning approval from the Spirit Ruins Realm was entirely expected.

"I see, so this is the world’s origin energy?"

"No wonder it benefits cultivators endlessly."

"Probably even more than any ten-thousand-year-old spirit medicine or elixir."

"With such a vast amount of origin energy, I can quickly ascend to Divinity Transformation Perfection."

Jiang Fan balled his fists in exhilaration.

Truly, the Spirit Ruins Realm offered him endless fortunes.

At first, he figured venturing into the Cyan Stone Demon Cave would bring scant rewards, just a pointless venture.

Who would have thought it would grant him this profound heaven and earth origin energy?

This outshone any pill or spiritual herb by leagues.

Should he fully refine this essence, attaining Divinity Transformation Perfection was mere moments away.

This boosted his cultivation pace immensely, yielding boundless advantages.

Boom~~

A notification flooded into his sea of consciousness without delay: "Congratulations on destroying a Cyan Stone Demon Cave, slaying a Combined Demon, surviving a life-or-death ordeal, and gaining one billion Luck Points."

"This."

Feeling this alert, Jiang Fan’s eyes widened sharply, his mind churning with shock.

The haul of Luck Points this round was staggeringly immense, hitting a full billion.

One could only imagine the trials needed to amass such a sum.

Yet here it was, all in one go—utterly jaw-dropping.

Still, reflecting deeper, it felt perfectly reasonable.

After all, he had razed an entire demon cave.

Even an Integration Cultivator would find this daunting; it bordered on the miraculous.

So phenomenal, scarcely anyone would credit such a wild story.

"With so many Luck Points, I can likely cultivate the many Life Talismans on me to the Proficient Level."

Jiang Fan grinned broadly.

He understood the difficulty in advancing each Immortal Realm talisman to Proficient Level.

Were it simple, the Primordial Talisman Sect’s forebears from antiquity wouldn’t have mastered so few Immortal Realm talismans. He could bypass heaps of effort, albeit at the cost of vast Luck Points.

Luckily, this windfall of one billion Luck Points had arrived in a single stroke.

A sudden stroke of immense wealth, in essence.

"My luck has skyrocketed."

"Now, I count as a Child of Fortune in the Spirit Ruins Realm."

Jiang Fan curved his lips into a subtle smile.

He sensed his fortune had ballooned far beyond its prior state.

The Fortune Golden Dragon hovering over his crown had doubled in magnitude.

Even more crucially, this Fortune Golden Dragon now harmonized with the Spirit Ruins Realm’s Heavenly Dao.

As though he were a native Child of Fortune birthed by this very realm.

Clearly, he had secured the endorsement of this world’s Heavenly Dao.

"Received such immense luck from the Spirit Ruins Realm, is this akin to being an honorary citizen?"

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Such developments appeared wholly logical.

Though an outsider by birth, his deeds here were monumental.

Even eclipsing those of locals by vast margins.

The Heavenly Dao of the Spirit Ruins Realm wasn’t blind; its ways were profound and adaptive.

No matter the hue of the feline, if it snared rodents and aided the Spirit Ruins Realm, it was a fine feline.

In this span, Jiang Fan’s feats had profoundly benefited the Spirit Ruins Realm, even altering portions of its destiny, so naturally, it won the Heavenly Dao’s favor.

Certainly, this proved a tremendous boon for Jiang Fan too.

It signified plentiful fortunes awaiting him within the Spirit Ruins Realm, paving the way for greater prospects.

Boom~~

Abruptly, yet another alert surged into Jiang Fan’s sea of consciousness.

"Fate is always fickle. Although you’ve destroyed the Cyan Stone Demon Cave and dealt the demons a heavy blow, your actions have thoroughly enraged them, and they now view you as a thorn in their side, needing swift removal. Your reputation begins to spread in the demon race and even among the human great powers of the Great Xuan Dynasty, so you will face the pursuit of the Spirit Ruins Realm’s demon race, and staying here means certain death."

"Fate will provide you guidance."
