Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 967 - 453: Seven-Colored Life Chart—Longevity and Everlasting Vision, Immortal King Potential
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
"Yet now, having broken through to the late stage of Tier Five, reaching Tier Six feels close at hand."
"Still, at this point, I've only obtained the Divinity Transformation Chapter from the Soaring Snake Technique."
"Regarding the Void Refining Chapter, or even the Integration Chapter and Mahayana Chapter, I remain completely in the dark."
"It looks like I'll have to head back to the Void Realm to track down the other chapters of the Soaring Snake Technique."
"That said, with my current destiny guiding me, securing those remaining chapters shouldn't pose much difficulty."
Jiang Fan slipped into a moment of deep reflection.
He held no burning urgency to hunt down the rest of the Soaring Snake Technique's chapters; the Divinity Transformation Chapter by itself could carry his cultivation all the way to the peak of Tier Five, and perhaps even propel him into Tier Six.
Besides, given the timeline, several more years would pass before he could make another trip to the Void Realm.
By that point, the enigmatic curse originating from the Void Realm would have fully faded away.
Naturally, to play it safe, delaying his return to the Void Realm by a bit longer probably wouldn't cause any real trouble.
Such a brief span of years amounted to mere instants for a Divinity Transformation Cultivator.
"Has my cultivation progress truly climbed to 88%?"
"With a few months of focused training, I should be able to shatter the barrier and enter the Sixth-Layer of Divinity Transformation."
Jiang Fan brimmed with satisfaction.
Ever since stepping into the Ice Prison, his cultivation had surged forward dramatically; this truly served as his domain of boundless fortune.
After all, it stood as an Immortal Prison hailing from the Immortal Realm itself.
One could only imagine the sheer volume of Immortal Realm fortunes hidden within its depths.
Had this not been a sealed-off domain, accessible only for entry and never for exit—a true prison—the cultivators of the Spirit Ruins Realm would swarm it endlessly to seize its riches.
"Hmm?!"
"Is it possible to trigger the Gate of the Void's random teleportation once more?"
In that instant, Jiang Fan detected a subtle ripple inside him as the Gate of the Void bound to his being began to stir faintly, drawing in an odd surge of destiny.
Joy flooded his heart without delay.
Activating the random teleportation function of the Gate of the Void proved no simple matter, after all.
The landing spots differed each time, often leading to perilous zones. Should he end up in an area swarming with Spirit Ruins Realm demons, his fate would be sealed.
Therefore, absent the perfect chance, he avoided firing up the Gate of the Void's teleportation on a whim.
But his instincts screamed that this moment marked the ideal occasion to launch a random teleportation.
This destination could very well brim with extraordinary fortune.
He had experienced such hunches countless times in the past, so he trusted them implicitly.
Boom~~
With that in mind, Jiang Fan wasted no time and promptly unleashed the Gate of the Void.
Should the teleportation spot turn out hazardous, he could simply retreat back without much concern.
A colossal stockpile of spirit stones vanished into the Gate of the Void in a flash.
On this occasion, it swallowed a staggering ten billion spirit stones, a sign that the teleportation's target held something truly remarkable.
This naturally sparked his eager expectations.
Whoosh!
The instant after, Jiang Fan passed through the Gate of the Void, vanishing from the Chaos Valley and materializing in a fresh territory.
...
Spirit Ruins Realm, Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins.
This famed Secret Realm fell under the Great Xuan Dynasty's dominion.
Its origins remained shrouded in mystery, with records showing it had endured for billions of years at minimum.
The renown of this spiritual ruins arose from the vast array of treasures nestled inside the Secret Realm.
Whenever cultivators ventured into the spiritual ruins Secret Realm, they emerged laden with all sorts of gains.
Regrettably, entry to this spiritual ruins Secret Realm restricted itself to those below Golden Core cultivation.
Higher-level experts, even with their might, found the Secret Realm's barriers impenetrable.
Forcing their way in would spell doom, as the spiritual ruins Secret Realm's rules could annihilate even Mahayana cultivators.
As a result, across the ages, Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins evolved into a prime training ground for the Great Xuan Dynasty's academy students.
It unlocked once every ten years, granting each student a single shot at entry.
Thus, pupils from academies throughout the Great Xuan Dynasty's cities grasped this rare window.
Snagging even a handful of treasures inside could catapult them toward soaring success.
Certain unremarkable academy students had skyrocketed in status thanks to such hauls.
Of course, qualifying for Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins demanded at least Foundation Establishment cultivation; lower realms lacked the entry rights.
Li Changsheng counted among those entrants.
He originated from Yunhe Kingdom, a territory beneath the Great Xuan Dynasty, and had achieved Foundation Establishment at thirty years old.
In the Void Realm of the present day, breaking through to Foundation Establishment at such an age would label him a prodigy.
Yet the Spirit Ruins Realm overflowed with resources, where typical geniuses forged their foundation by eighteen, and the freakishly talented might do so by ten.
Hence, reaching Foundation Establishment at thirty highlighted his mediocre talent.
Pressing onward to Nascent Soul, or even Divinity Transformation, grew ever more arduous from there.
To secure his slot in Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins, he poured immense effort into the effort.
And he wasn't alone; droves of Foundation Establishment cultivators chased similar paths.
Everyone viewed entry into Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins as a pivotal shot at rewriting their destinies.
However, this particular opening of Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins unleashed a massive unforeseen crisis.
Out of nowhere, for unexplained causes, hordes of demons materialized within the spiritual ruins.
Numerous Foundation Establishment cultivators fell victim to assaults by these demons.
Countless had already perished under the demons' onslaughts.
"Damn it, what's happening here? Weren't we told Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins was completely safe? How come demons are everywhere—not just Foundation Establishment ones, but Golden Core demons and even Nascent Soul demons have appeared, all bent on wiping us out. What are we supposed to do now?"
