Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 971 - 455: Ye Linglong’s Growth; The Mysterious Senior is an Integration Great Power

One month later.

Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins.

Thanks to Jiang Fan's sudden arrival, the demon-plagued Spirit Ruins Secret Realm shifted from utter chaos to complete security. Plenty of Foundation Establishment cultivators venturing into the Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins were rescued as well, since Jiang Fan's avatars cut down vast numbers of demons.

Jiang Fan spotted the cultivators holding Life Charts, triggered their Life Charts for them, and even handed over sub-talismans from the Cause and Effect Communication Immortal Talisman.

After refining these, they gained the ability to connect with one another, and no other cultivator could snatch away these talismans, just like a Lifebound Magical Treasure.

In essence, this massive catastrophe faded away without a trace.

Still, thanks to the Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaf's influence, everyone except those with Life Charts lost all memory of Jiang Fan's looks and actions; they had no clue about the demons' total elimination.

Even the Life Chart holders only learned his title — Talisman Daoist.

Nevertheless, this event was bound to shape the Great Xuan Dynasty's destiny for endless years ahead.

Right now, in a certain spot within the Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins.

A bunch of folks had assembled there.

If Jiang Fan happened to be present, he would instantly identify who these individuals were; they consisted of Jiang Mo, Xiao Duan, Su Wangyue, Liu Shengnan, and the rest.

Ever since Jiang Mo reclaimed her royal heritage and rose as a princess of the Great Xuan Dynasty, she got whisked away to the imperial capital for elite royal education, surging forward in her cultivation progress.

Within merely a handful of years, she had climbed all the way to Foundation Establishment Perfection.

Her younger siblings reaped huge advantages too, got relocated to the imperial capital as well, and broke through to Foundation Establishment.

That's why, on this occasion, they joined forces to step into the Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins, aiming for massive rewards.

"Linglong, that enigmatic elder might show up once more."

"The demons that previously devastated the Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins got utterly wiped out by that enigmatic elder too."

"The figure apparently calls himself the Talisman Daoist."

Jiang Mo commented, having witnessed Jiang Fan's avatar in combat, destroying a massive wave of demons.

Yet, to stay safe, she chose not to rush forward and reveal herself, opting instead to watch from afar in silence.

After all, her ordinary Upper Grade Life Chart let her mix seamlessly into groups, causing people to instinctively ignore her existence.

As a result, should trouble arise, she could slip away without issue.

"Just what feats can that elder pull off?"

"The Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins enforce strict rules, barring any cultivator beyond Golden Core from stepping inside."

"Back then, Mahayana cultivators from the Great Xuan Dynasty tried personally but failed to overcome the Spirit Ruins' restrictions."

"Yet this elder handles it with such ease—it's downright incredible."

Su Wangyue expressed deep astonishment.

Upon joining the imperial capital's Taoist Academy, her Life Chart 'Son of Thunder' fully awakened, unveiling immense talent that earned her discipleship under a formidable thunder technique master.

Because of that, she possessed extensive details on all sorts of Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins intel.

For this reason, the sudden demon horde's assault on the Spiritual Ruins filled her with dread; should those fiends run wild, every Foundation Establishment cultivator inside would meet their end.

But she felt powerless, trapped without escape, while outsiders couldn't breach the barrier—it was a genuine deathtrap.

No soul could have foreseen the enigmatic Talisman Daoist returning to the scene.

And pulling off what Mahayana powerhouses deemed impossible, all so effortlessly.

"This elder remains incredibly enigmatic."

"I caught wind of a shocking tale earlier."

"It turns out four or five Integration Great Powers in our Great Xuan Dynasty had long been swapped out by demons."

"Owing to those demon infiltrators, countless Demon Caves sprang up across the Great Xuan Dynasty."

"Yet the captured Integration Great Powers broke free from captivity out of nowhere, ultimately unmasking the spies and stunning the entire Great Xuan Dynasty."

"Word has it the hidden cultivator who freed those Integration Great Powers is none other than the Talisman Daoist."

Jiang Mo stated gravely.

As a princess of the Great Xuan Dynasty, Jiang Mo naturally stayed updated on key matters.

Particularly the scandals that rocked the court and shook the masses—she knew every detail.

Still, she never imagined the secretive cultivator who liberated numerous Integration Great Powers was the very elder who once rescued her, leaving her utterly stunned deep down.

"For this enigmatic elder to have saved so many Integration Great Powers, his cultivation base must reach at least the Body Integration Realm, or maybe he's no mere Mahayana cultivator. After all, infiltrating the Demon Realm isn't a feat any ordinary cultivator can achieve."

Liu Shengnan voiced her awe.

At first, she figured the enigmatic elder was perhaps merely a Divinity Transformation or Void Refining cultivator.

But upon hearing of the Talisman Daoist's exploits, she became convinced the individual surpassed Integration in power.

Without that level, rescuing multiple Integration Great Powers would prove impossible.

"If the Talisman Daoist ranks as an Integration Great Power, then why bother heading to Fengming City specifically?"

"Sure, Linglong serves as a princess of the Great Xuan Dynasty, but for such a being, a single princess means nothing amid all the princes and princesses out there."

Xiao Duan burned with curiosity over the Talisman Daoist's true motives.

He understood full well the lofty status of Integration Great Powers, who often became domain princes overseeing vast territories, with even the Human Emperor showing them utmost deference.
