Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 980 - 477: The Birth of the Primordial Alliance—An Organization Spanning the Spirit Ruins Realm

Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
Jiang Fan delved deeper into the secrets of the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall, an incomplete Immortal King Magical Treasure bound to the Spiritual Ruins, granting him control over the realm but unable to breach the Restriction Arrays of other Immortal palaces. He chose to preserve these sealed treasures as bait to lure more cultivators, while inquiries into the Ten Thousand Treasures Immortal King's demise yielded guarded responses, hinting at the Immortal Race's formidable threat and a slim chance of resurrection long faded. With the Foundation Establishment cultivators departing, Jiang Fan retreated to the Ice Prison to conceal his karma from pursuers. In the shadows, the anomalies reeled from the slaughter of their forces in the ruins, identifying Talisman Daoist as the disruptive variable who wielded a Heavenly Destiny Artifact, vowing to track and capture him despite his elusive trail.

Yet another day slipped by.

Numerous Foundation Establishment Cultivators emerged from the Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins, drawing the immediate notice of the Great Xuan Dynasty's top leaders. All of them felt profound shock, never expecting the Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins to undergo such a dramatic shift.

"Demons really broke into the Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins? How on earth did they pull that off?"

"Despite our strongest attempts, we failed to pierce the restrictions of the Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins."

One Integration Great Power creased his forehead in deep thought.

He couldn't fathom how the demons accomplished this bold intrusion; their success in bypassing the Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins' barriers suggested the Secret Realm World could face grave dangers ahead.

Such an outcome would deliver a devastating blow to the Great Xuan Dynasty.

The Secret Realm brimmed with invaluable treasures, including ancient Immortal legacies, tempting even the mightiest Integration Cultivators.

"I can't say for certain, but I suspect the demons sacrificed a heavy toll to make it happen."

"Those Foundation Establishment Cultivators got incredibly fortunate, running into a enigmatic expert who dealt with the demon threat and ensured their escape alive."

"You're joking, right? Apart from demons, can other cultivators actually access the Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins too? Did that individual exploit some hidden flaw in the Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins?"

"Should they have truly cracked such a flaw, maybe we could slip in as well."

"Uncover the identity of that enigmatic expert right away."

A flurry of Integration Cultivators voiced their excitement.

Discovering a path into the Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins would bring them boundless riches and power.

Under no circumstances would they permit mere Foundation Establishment Cultivators to claim this vital Secret Realm World; these Integration Cultivators would seize total control.

"You might already recognize the enigmatic expert; he's the same one who saved the Ice Soul King and his companions, known as Talisman Daoist," one Integration Great Power remarked calmly.

Talisman Daoist?!

The news hit hard, causing the Integration Great Powers' eyes to contract sharply. At first, they held little knowledge of Talisman Daoist, yet after his daring rescue of the Ice Soul King and fellow Integration Cultivators, plus the obliteration of a Demon Cave, the Great Xuan Dynasty's elites launched a thorough probe into Talisman Daoist's background, eager to reveal his true roots.

Regrettably, the leads they gathered proved far too thin.

Even now, no fresh details on Talisman Daoist had surfaced.

None of them had foreseen this enigmatic figure resurfacing amid the Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins, a twist beyond all belief.

Without question, this enigmatic expert harbored countless mysteries tied to the Spirit Ruins Realm.

How else could he keep emerging in these hidden domains?

In truth, their fascination with Talisman Daoist grew ever deeper.

"We have to track down this Talisman Daoist."

"Word is, demons are pursuing Talisman Daoist relentlessly, with a bounty already out for his capture."

"From what he's done, he clearly stands with us humans."

"That's right; if he opposed humanity, why would he rescue so many of our cultivators?"

"Too bad he avoids all contact, giving us zero trails to follow."

"It doesn't matter; now that he's surfaced, we'll get our chance to learn all about Talisman Daoist eventually."

The Integration Great Powers buzzed in heated conversation.

Naturally, they yearned to locate Talisman Daoist without delay; yet this master eluded them completely, wielding profound arts to veil his karma and connections, leaving their efforts futile.

Despite their burning desire to expose Talisman Daoist's real name and heritage, they remained utterly stymied.

...

Naturally, Jiang Fan dismissed every guess from external powers as meaningless chatter.

He concealed himself deep in the Ice Prison.

No scheme these powers devised could ever pinpoint his location.

For everyone else, the Ice Prison served as an inescapable trap, admitting intruders but barring any way out.

Yet to Jiang Fan, it offered flawless refuge.

Safely tucked away in the Ice Prison, no external force could touch him, regardless of their cunning ploys.

Even aware of the Ice Prison's existence, they hesitated to dispatch anyone within, reduced to powerless sighs.

Back at Primordial Valley, Jiang Fan dove straight into closed-door cultivation, pushing his realm to new heights.

His current strength struck him as woefully inadequate, demanding swift advancement.

Ideally, he'd break through to the Seventh Layer of Divinity Transformation, entering the late Divinity Transformation Realm and surging his battle prowess dramatically.

Luckily, the brutal clash in the Ice Crystal Mountain Range had crippled the Exotic Beast Influence and Demonic Cultivator Influence, granting Primordial Valley a serene stretch free from threats, ripe for unchecked progress.

Time flowed onward as seasons turned, and in a flash, a full year elapsed.

Primordial Valley's growth needed no explanation; it flourished steadily without interruption.

Truth be told, the most striking transformations unfolded among the Life Plate Cultivators who'd ventured into the Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins.

Ever since Jiang Fan ignited their Life Plates, these cultivators sensed profound shifts in their physiques and a relentless surge in their innate gifts.

Li Changsheng stood out most, bearer of a radiant seven-colored Life Chart that bestowed eternal youth and unyielding sight.

He sensed his vitality locked eternally at its prime.

His vitality pulsed with peak intensity, granting him an immortal span of years.

Wounds healed on him with astonishing speed.

A host of deceptive arts failed utterly against him now.

This convinced Li Changsheng beyond doubt of the enigmatic expert Talisman Daoist's solemn promises.

"Yet what truly astounds is this Cause and Effect Communication Immortal Talisman."
