Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 958 - 449: Immortal Beast Remains, a Legacy from the Immortal Realm

Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...

Jiang Fan effortlessly shattered his bottleneck and ascended to the Fifth-Layer Divinity Transformation, doubling his Primordial Spirit power to two thousand soul tendrils and granting him the ability to perceive and slightly mobilize Void Power, elevating his combat prowess far beyond ordinary cultivators at his level. He then engraved the Heaven-Stealing Ladder Talisman as his fifth Life Talisman, a powerful Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman derived from the Heaven-Stealing Ladder artifact, capable of stealing high-dimensional energies like Void Energy to accelerate cultivation. Over the following month, Jiang Fan fully comprehended and integrated the talisman into his Primordial Spirit, then tested it, summoning a ethereal ladder that pierced the void to draw in pure Spiritual Qi, dramatically enriching the energy within his Exquisite Tower despite its entry-level state.

"That's right."

Jiang Fan felt deeply pleased with his freshly crafted Life Talisman. This Spirit Talisman from the Immortal Realm was bound to deliver him tremendous advantages.

With that thought crossing his mind, a surge of excitement rose within him, prompting him to promptly access his virtual interface.

There was no question that every aspect of his status had surged forward impressively from its previous state.

Above all, his personal cultivation had skyrocketed in merely one month's time, pushing his progress straight to 21% with ease.

Clearly, the Origin Energy drawn from the Heavenly Dao remained largely untapped, continuing to fuel the swift advancement of his cultivation base.

Yet, the heaviest toll had fallen on his Luck Points, now reduced to a mere 90 million.

Such a steep expenditure stemmed from forging the Immortal Artifact known as the Seven-Colored Lotus Lamp.

Still, the cost proved entirely justified.

In the end, this Immortal Artifact harbored boundless power and was sure to emerge as one of his most powerful hidden aces down the line.

Regrettably, it lingered in a broken condition, beyond full restoration for the moment.

"Eh? What's this?"

"How come the Tribulation Qi over the Mixed Element Valley has thickened so abruptly? Just what is unfolding?"

All of a sudden, a chill gripped Jiang Fan's heart.

An impending sense of danger washed over him, compelling him to activate the divine ability called Emperor’s Gaze without delay.

In a flash, his vision revealed strands of Tribulation Qi gathering high above the Mixed Element Valley, forming a tempest ready to crash down—a clear harbinger of an enormous disaster looming near.

It was certain that upon reaching the Fifth-Layer Divinity Transformation, the potency of his divine abilities had amplified greatly, with Emperor’s Gaze now granting sharper insights into fate and the enigmas of what lay ahead.

"Master, lately the beast tide beyond our borders has intensified dramatically."

"Rumors say numerous human outposts have fallen under assault from exotic beasts."

"Even though the Mixed Element Valley's location stays well-hidden, it hasn't escaped the onslaught of exotic beasts."

"Naturally, given the Mixed Element Valley's present might, holding off ordinary exotic beast incursions presents little challenge."

"That said, as days pass, more and more exotic beasts have targeted the Mixed Element Valley."

The Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron warned solemnly.

Truth be told, this update had already reached Jiang Fan’s avatar earlier, yet his primary form had been deep in closed-door cultivation, striving for the breakthrough to Fifth-Layer Divinity Transformation, leaving him out of the loop until now.

It was only after Jiang Fan successfully ascended and finished refining his Life Talisman that the details came to light.

"A beast tide? What in the world is going on?"

"From what locals like Xu Chenyang have shared, beast tides strike only every ten years or thereabouts, right?"

"We just weathered one recently—how could another erupt this quickly?"

Jiang Fan's brow furrowed deeply, his instincts telling him that the relentless beast tides ravaging the Ice Crystal Mountain Range were far from typical, hinting at some massive event stirring in the shadows, one potent enough to drive the exotic beasts into such a wild frenzy.

"Truthfully, this has left countless folks baffled too."

"Xu Chenyang has scoured multiple camps seeking any hidden truths."

"Sadly, those various camps remain in the dark about the root cause."

"They've poured everything into repelling the standard beast tide waves, with no spare energy to probe the underlying trigger, so for now, we're all left guessing."

The Primordial Talisman Pen declared with a heavy tone.

It shared the same burning curiosity about whatever sparked this beast tide surge.

Regrettably, the scant hints available offered no path to unmasking the true culprit.

That said, should this trend persist, the overwhelming beast tide would inevitably crash upon the Mixed Element Valley.

While Jiang Fan possessed formidable power, he stood merely at the Fifth-Layer Divinity Transformation stage.

The emergence of a Refining Void-level exotic beast could prove too much to handle.

All the hard-won foundations built in the Mixed Element Valley could crumble in an instant.

Yet, if things spiraled utterly out of control, forsaking the Mixed Element Valley wouldn't spell disaster.

Jiang Fan had no intention of stubbornly clinging to a doomed situation.

Boom~~

Right then, a transmission pierced straight into the depths of Jiang Fan’s consciousness sea.

"You've already detected the unusual spate of beast tides in the Ice Crystal Mountain Range, yet what escapes your knowledge is that these repeated outbreaks stem from the exotic beasts hunting a Divinity Transformation cultivator named Daoist Chen.

This thief sneaked into the heart of the Ice Crystal Mountain Range, breached the exotic beasts' lair, and swiped a drop of Immortal Beast blood, igniting their savage resolve to slaughter Daoist Chen and seize back that Immortal Beast blood."
