Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 944 - 473: Destiny’s Favor, Wishes Come True

Right now, the spirits of Hu Zeren and the fellow Snow Peak Village cultivators slipped into the Human Emperor Banner as well.

Their deaths came so abruptly that they had no clue about the occurrences.

"What is this place?"

In an instant, Hu Zeren and his companions discovered themselves in a vast expanse, encircled by robed monks who radiated a soft golden glow.

"Welcome to the Divine Kingdom."

"Upon entering the Divine Kingdom, you'll be free from all troubles."

At that instant, the monks drew near to Hu Zeren and the remaining Tribulation Cultivators.

With hands pressed together, they gazed upon the group with compassionate expressions.

A sacred golden radiance poured from their forms, making them seem utterly divine.

"What sort of Divine Kingdom is this? What's the true nature of this location?"

"How dare you abduct us cultivators from Snow Peak Village? Are you ignorant of what death means?"

"Release us right away, or we'll bring about mutual ruin."

The spirits of Hu Zeren and his group snarled fiercely, brimming with horrifying evil qi.

"We didn't anticipate such stubbornness from you all."

"It looks like Buddhist teachings must be used to guide you."

Upon hearing those words, glimmers ignited in the monks' eyes, and they surged ahead, delivering enlightenment through punches and kicks.

"You bald-headed fools, is this your idea of Buddhist teaching?"

In a flash, Hu Zeren and the others' spirits unleashed piercing cries, pummeled until bruised and battered, with blood streaming from their seven orifices, while excruciating agony surged through their entire beings.

Yet amid the thrashing, the malice and grudge clinging to them swiftly faded away.

Simultaneously, mystical runes surfaced on these spirits, and a subtle golden sheen began to shine from within.

Clearly, these spirits turned compliant in no time, harboring no desire to fight back.

"Impressive."

"Indeed, the might of Buddhist doctrines knows no limits."

Jiang Fan perceived the events unfolding within the Human Emperor Banner and felt deeply pleased.

For demonic cultivators, fully dominating certain malevolent ghosts in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner proves incredibly challenging.

Should these malevolent ghosts refuse obedience, they could rebel against their owner during a vital instant.

But with these ghosts now fully purified by the Human Emperor Banner's enlightenment, betrayal against their master becomes utterly impossible.

The level of mastery achieved here eclipses that of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner by far.

It would never suffer the same vulnerability to slipping control as those demonic treasures.

Boom!

Precisely then, a transmission plunged straight into the core of his sea of consciousness.

"The twists of fate strike so unexpectedly. By striking down this band of Snow Peak Village cultivators, you've provoked the Village Chief, Daoist Cold Cicada, a cultivator at Refining Void Perfection.

Under Daoist Cold Cicada's command, this band of Snow Peak Village cultivators rounded up numerous human cultivators, all because he acquired a Ghost Soul Fruit Tree that demands the consumption of vast quantities of human souls to thrive.

When it ripens, it yields three Ghost Soul Fruits, vital for Void Refining cultivators as they aid in shattering into Integration, boosting the odds of reaching Integration.

Thus, your interference is viewed by Daoist Cold Cicada as a deep-seated grudge blocking his ascent. Without action, his retaliation will descend upon you shortly. He won't tolerate any obstacle to his ascension scheme.

"Fate shall offer you direction."

"Fate Tip One: As a Fourth-Layer Divinity Transformation cultivator under ordinary circumstances, matching Daoist Cold Cicada is out of the question. A direct clash guarantees your demise.

Yet handling a foe doesn't always mean facing them outright; wielding a borrowed blade can serve well. Daoist Cold Cicada has amassed foes across the world in his pursuit of higher cultivation.

Head to Profound Abyss City to expose Daoist Cold Cicada, for numerous Void Refining cultivators there yearn to track him down. Once you alert them, a horde of Void Refining cultivators will converge, letting you observe the clash from afar like watching tigers battle, and thus claim the spoils without risk."

"Fate Tip Two: Naturally, you could forgo reporting Daoist Cold Cicada and opt for a head-on fight, but death awaits at his hands, alongside the slaughter of countless villagers in the Ice Crystal Mountain Range, while Daoist Cold Cicada ascends to Integration unchallenged, emerging as a grave threat to the Ice Prison down the line."

"Report?!"

As this intel flooded in, Jiang Fan stroked his chin. He hadn't foreseen such counsel from Fate's guidance, yet he couldn't deny it was a solid strategy.

After all, Daoist Cold Cicada stands as a Refining Void Perfection powerhouse on the verge of Integration, a formidable force. Jiang Fan, at merely Fourth-Layer Divinity Transformation, would court disaster by challenging him directly.

It'd amount to nothing but suicide.

Still, reporting him equates to employing another's hand to slay the foe, dispatching Daoist Cold Cicada without personal peril.

Such a move hits two targets with a single strike.

"Profound Abyss City, is it?"

"A metropolis in the Ice Prison boasting over ten million inhabitants."

"Its City Lord is the Integration Cultivator Daoist Xuan Yuan."

In that moment, Jiang Fan summoned a wealth of details regarding Profound Abyss City.

Naturally, Xu Chenyang had shared all this knowledge with him. That youth, blessed with an Upper Grade Life Chart, truly excelled in talent and intel collection.

He grasps a broad array of matters concerning the Ice Prison.

Thanks to Xu Chenyang's aid, Jiang Fan could stay homebound and still grasp the region's secrets.
