Chapter 415: Chapter 233: Escape from Seven Stars Peak, Calamity Approaches_2
This lifetime, he will remain a servant of that Nascent Soul cultivator.
So that’s why a large number of scattered cultivators were terrified and fled back, not daring to return to the Yiling Island Group for a short time.
Without a doubt, whether it’s the Profound Celestial Sword Sect or the Yiling Island Group, everything has become incredibly chaotic.
It seems there are hardly any safe places under the heavens.
"Are you still looking for the Red Whale Daoist?"
"Why is that Nascent Soul seeking the Red Whale Daoist?"
"Did the Red Whale Daoist kill his disciple, or perhaps his son? Or is there some treasure on the Red Whale Daoist that the Nascent Soul cultivator is determined to obtain?"
Jiang Fan frowned.
He originally thought that the mysterious Nascent Soul wouldn’t stay in the Yiling Island Group for long.
After all, this sea area lacks Tier Four Spirit Veins, which are actually unsuitable for Nascent Soul cultivators to train in.
Staying in the Yiling Island Group for a long time would only slow down his cultivation progress.
Who would have thought, even after such a long time, that mysterious Nascent Soul is still in the Yiling Island Group.
And it seems he won’t be leaving any time soon.
In fact, judging by a Nascent Soul cultivator’s lifespan, staying here for hundreds of years wouldn’t be strange.
Without a doubt, until the other party leaves the Yiling Island Group, it’s absolutely impossible for him to return to that sea area.
If he goes back, he might end up facing disaster.
So he has already regarded the Yiling Island Group as a forbidden place he cannot go.
Unless he promotes to Nascent Soul in the future and has no fear of that mysterious Nascent Soul.
Then, the vast world would be open to him anywhere.
Boom~~
At this moment, Jiang Fan sensed the Fortune Avoidance Talisman deep in his Dantian and Sea of Qi start to vibrate, seemingly triggering destiny, and a message instantly submerged into the depths of his consciousness.
"Demon cultivators are rampant, calamities abound, caught in a whirlpool, choose wisely."
"Stay and cultivate at Seven Stars Peak, trapped in the vortex of calamity, cannot extricate, great misfortune."
"Go to Mist Mountain Range in seven days, receive Sixth-Grade Opportunity, but face many dangers, great misfortune."
"Return to Yiling Island Group in five days, receive Fifth-Grade Opportunity, may become a prisoner, slight misfortune."
"Set off immediately to Sun City in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, can obtain Sixth-Grade Opportunity, slight fortune."
Suddenly, Jiang Fan acquired a wealth of information, which greatly startled him.
Compared to before, the information he received this time was indeed much more detailed.
Not only knowing the various directions of the future, but also knowing the opportunities that await.
Upon closer inspection, he found that the skill level of his Fortune Avoidance Talisman had promoted from Mastery Level to Great Success Realm.
"Did my Fortune Avoidance Talisman skill level improve?"
"No wonder the information received is so abundant."
Jiang Fan stroked his chin.
To be honest, he hadn’t deliberately tried to improve the skill level of the Fortune Avoidance Talisman, but it’s also impossible to deliberately do so.
Because the Fortune Avoidance Talisman is passively triggered.
If no calamities strike, the Fortune Avoidance Talisman won’t activate.
So even if he wanted to quickly improve the skill level of this talisman, it wouldn’t be possible.
Yet even so, due to enduring numerous calamities and consuming much destiny, he still improved the skill level of the Fortune Avoidance Talisman to Great Success Realm.
Compared to before, the information he acquired is too extensive and detailed now.
It’s like clearing more fog from the fate of the future.
The help to him has multiplied many times over.
"What does this truly mean?"
"If I stay and cultivate at Seven Stars Peak, would I actually encounter calamity and be ensnared in its vortex?"
"Demon cultivators indeed rampage, but what does that have to do with loose cultivators."
"When the sky falls, taller people will hold it up first; this should relate to the Profound Celestial Sword Sect."
"Wait, could the Profound Celestial Sword Sect forcibly conscript scattered cultivators again?"
Jiang Fan suddenly thought of this, after all, the Profound Celestial Sword Sect has a previous record, previously forcibly conscripting a large number of loose cultivators to fight in the war against the Shennong Sect.
Once the war between the two Nascent Soul sects ended, only then did loose cultivators return.
But if the Profound Celestial Sword Sect chooses, it could completely conduct a second conscription.
And this is very likely to happen.
Because previously, the Profound Celestial Sword Sect was breached by demon cultivators, causing heavy casualties, their manpower being very tight.
To cope with the increasingly frequent demon cultivators, conscripting a large number of loose cultivators is not impossible.
"However, Elder Alchemist Wei Song seems unaware of this matter."
"Could the conscription of scattered cultivators be sudden? Or perhaps Elder Alchemist Wei Song knows but hasn’t mentioned it?"
Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered.
Regardless of which, he can’t stay at Seven Stars Peak anymore.
If he continues to stay at Seven Stars Peak, he certainly will be conscripted by the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, becoming their pawn.
He doesn’t want to fall into such a chaotic vortex, facing countless calamities.
Even though he is already at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment cultivation, surviving such calamities is uncertain.
"Heading to Mist Mountain Range can gain Sixth-Grade Opportunity, but also encounter great misfortune."
"Returning to Yiling Island Group also yields Fifth-Grade Opportunity, yet results in captivity."
"In this case, although dangers abound, gaining opportunities has no practical use."
"Naturally, these two places are no-go zones."
Jiang Fan stroked his chin.
He also noticed the power of the Great Success Level Fortune Avoidance Talisman, capable of foreseeing potential opportunities ahead.
However, obtaining opportunities is sometimes not beneficial.
Some opportunities, when secured, won’t lead to any calamities or consequences.
Yet for some opportunities, receiving them may cause subsequent problems, facing endless calamities.
Such opportunities might as well remain unmet.
"Seems the only option is returning to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range."
Jiang Fan immediately made a decision.
Although heading to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range can secure Sixth-Grade Opportunity, it comes without any hidden dangers.
Furthermore, he can avoid the calamity from the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, which is indeed beneficial.
So returning to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range becomes his only choice.
"But is Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range already safe?"
"Right, Daoist Wan Hua’s cave has yet to be fully explored."
"But it’s already under the control of both the Shennong Sect and Profound Celestial Sword Sect’s Nascent Souls."
"In this way, the Golden Core influences in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range naturally dare not make trouble."
"So for now, major Golden Core influences have likely calmed down the wars."
"Even if some chaos still exists in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range."
"For someone like me, at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, such chaos is insignificant."
Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered.
Clearly, it’s no longer as it was in past days.
If he were still in the Qi cultivation stage or in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, staying in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range might result in death from various calamities.
But after these years of cultivation, he is now a cultivator at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment.
Compared to before, his strength has increased immeasurably.
Unless attacked by Golden Core Zhenren, ordinary calamities could not harm him.
Looking at it this way, heading to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range to cross the tribulation is indeed a good choice.
"Moreover, my cultivation is already at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment."
"To promote to Golden Core, not only must my cultivation reach Foundation Establishment Perfection."
"More importantly, a Tier Three Spirit Vein must be found."
"Without the rich spiritual qi from a Tier Three Spirit Vein, promoting to Golden Core isn’t that easy."
"If I stay within the Profound Celestial Sword Sect’s territory, all Tier Three Spirit Veins are under their control. Borrowing a Tier Three Spirit Vein likely requires a considerable price."
"But in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, this vast realm makes finding an unclaimed Tier Three Spirit Vein not difficult; perhaps my chance to promote to Golden Core lies in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range."
Jiang Fan increasingly felt returning to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range was the right choice, given the numerous high-tier cultivators in Profound Celestial Sword Sect’s territory, staying in the beginner’s village of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range is more suitable.
At least, with his ninth-layer Foundation Establishment cultivation, he can easily handle many beginner village cultivators.
And the city he is headed to is Sun City in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
It’s a Tier Three City belonging to the Golden Core Sect, Great Sun Sword Sect, reportedly more prosperous than Yunlai City several times over.
He didn’t know why the Fortune Avoidance Talisman urged him to go to Sun City.
However, the Fortune Avoidance Talisman has always been correct; perhaps Sun City holds the opportunity he needs.
