Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 992 - 483: Guan Tianqi’s Path of Cultivation, Surrounded by Friends Everywhere

Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
Jiang Fan encountered the pursued Nascent Soul cultivator Guan Tianqi in the Ice Prison, revealing his intent to save him through the threads of destiny rather than harm. In exchange for relocating Guan Tianqi to a warmer realm in the Great Xuan Dynasty and delivering a healing spirit medicine to his injured uncle, Guan Tianqi offered a mysterious dark gold token obtained from the Profound Earth Secret Realm. Jiang Fan activated the token with the power of destiny, refining it as the Immortal Prison Order, which granted him the identity of a Ninth Grade Prison Guard and immunity to the prison's chilling aura, allowing free absorption of its spiritual qi. A void voice soon detected the new guard and transported him to the Immortal Prison Hall.

Meanwhile, in a dense jungle of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Swoosh!

A silhouette tumbled out from a Void Gate, crashing hard onto the earth and kicking up a thick plume of dirt.

This individual was none other than Guan Tianqi.

For a Nascent Soul Cultivator like him, the fall posed no real harm.

He stirred back to consciousness in moments.

"What in the world is this location?"

"This can't be happening—could this be genuine? The warmth here is astonishing."

"That sun overhead actually radiates gentle heat? The rays don't chill to the bone? The atmosphere lacks any biting cold?"

"Just where did that senior transport me to?"

Guan Tianqi gradually roused himself.

Surveying the vibrant woodland encircling him, ripples of astonishment surged through his mind.

Having originated from the Ice Prison, his entire life had been shrouded in monotonous grays and whites.

It resembled a realm stripped of all vigor.

Yet here he was, plunged into a domain overflowing with boundless vitality.

As though he had escaped the infernal depths to step into a heavenly haven.

Without repeated verifications, he might have dismissed it all as a deceptive spell.

The scenes unfolding before him were utterly surreal, stretching far beyond his wildest conceptions.

"Cause and Effect Communication Immortal Talisman? Ten Thousand Treasures Token?"

"Did that enigmatic senior bestow these items upon me?"

Guan Tianqi drew in a steadying breath, swiftly refining the pair of artifacts, soon uncovering the Hunyuan Alliance's forum teeming with cultivators from every distant land.

Boom~~

Hours passed in a flash, and Guan Tianqi swiftly pieced together the nature of these objects, thanks to abundant beginner threads on the Hunyuan Alliance forum that illuminated the present circumstances for him.

His thoughts churned like stormy seas; this revelation shattered his long-held perceptions.

"I get it now—the Ice Prison I knew was merely a Secret Realm inside the Spirit Ruins."

"Truth be told, I'm now within the Spirit Ruins Realm, and that so-called Ice Prison amounts to a mere pocket domain."

"Yet the Ice Prison, as a Spirit Ruins Secret Realm, holds a unique curse: entry is easy, but escape is impossible, a true cage."

"Through the ages, innumerous souls have been confined within its grasp."

"Still, if that's the truth, how could the enigmatic senior Talisman Daoist navigate in and out without hindrance?"

Guan Tianqi marveled deeply.

He sensed this senior grew ever more inscrutable, far surpassing the rank of an average Void Refining Cultivator.

Maybe he was an Integration Cultivator, or perhaps even a Mahayana powerhouse.

After all, with droves of Integration Cultivators ensnared in the Ice Prison, unable to break free, this senior departed effortlessly.

If not a Mahayana Cultivator, what else could explain it?

That said, as a mere Nascent Soul practitioner, he remained worlds apart from such exalted figures.

Dwelling further on it yielded little fruit.

"The Hunyuan Alliance unites holders of Life Charts."

"Entry demands that a cultivator has awakened their Life Chart."

"My own awakened Life Chart is Immortal Destiny, which returns favors in kind."

"Ah, so that's why the senior chose to rescue me?"

"He spotted the promise in me and extended his aid accordingly."

Guan Tianqi scrolled through numerous forum entries, sharpening his insight into the transformations stirring inside him.

He had never imagined a power as extraordinary as a Life Chart could exist in this world.

At the same time, a profound calm settled over him, convinced that the mysterious senior's interest in him stemmed from recognizing his worth, not from malice.

For Guan Tianqi, this proved a fortunate turn.

Had he lacked any merit, those demon cultivators would surely have ended him without mercy.

Instead, the enigmatic senior had intervened to preserve his life.

"My Life Chart's power is straightforward enough: repaying acts of benevolence grants me fitting boons in return."

"The greater the favor, the deeper the karmic tie, the richer the gains upon fulfillment."

"It's no surprise that aiding others always boosts my cultivation pace noticeably."

"All thanks to this singular Life Chart of mine, right?"

Enlightenment dawned on Guan Tianqi.

Truthfully, he had long sensed subtle anomalies in his nature; his innate talent was middling at best, bordering on poor.

Nevertheless, his progress outstripped his peers, propelling him to Nascent Soul while many companions languished at Golden Core.

Occasionally, fortune smiled upon him without reason, delivering unexpected windfalls.

This edge had armed him with hidden strengths, enabling reversals against countless Noble Descendants.

Without it, a lone Loose Cultivator like him would stand no chance, likely slain in an instant.

"The Great Xuan Dynasty—I've arrived in the Great Xuan Dynasty at last."

"A mighty human realm, spanning immense lands."

"The catch lies in its rigid laws; nearly everyone bears an official registry."

"As an intruder without papers, slipping into any city could prove exceedingly tough."

Guan Tianqi frowned in concern, knowing that forging an identity was essential to embed himself in the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Failing to do so would block his path to loftier cultivation heights, rendering advancement a distant dream.

This marked his inaugural hurdle in the Great Xuan Dynasty.

"Right, this is the Hunyuan Alliance after all."

"With so many fellow cultivators gathered, seeking their guidance should be straightforward."
