Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1049 - 510: Obtaining the Profound Yellow Fruit Tree, Tier Eight Spirit Plant

Deep within another region of the Southern Continent.

A multitude of demon cultivators had converged.

"Something is terribly wrong; a significant disaster has occurred."

"The soul lamps belonging to the Elders have all gone dark."

A demon cultivator’s expression shifted to sheer terror as he stared at the sight before him, unable to process the reality.

The soul lamps, which had been burning with fierce intensity mere moments ago, had suddenly flickered out.

This grim omen signified that a large number of Sect Elders had met an absolute end, with no hope for reprieve.

"That is impossible! Were the Elders not in the middle of resurrecting the Ancient Blood Demon?"

"They were backed by numerous Elders from various demon sects working in unison."

"Not to mention the assistance of several Divinity Transformation Ancestors."

"How could they all perish at once? What on earth could have happened?"

The gathered demon cultivators found the situation entirely beyond their comprehension.

As members of the demonic fold, they were privy to many of the Demon Sect’s grand designs.

The Elders had been orchestrating the revival of an Ancient Blood Demon.

Victory would have ensured the Demon Dao reigned supreme across the entire world.

The righteous sects would have been reduced to dust, vanishing from history forever.

Yet now, all the Elders had suddenly vanished into death.

This indicated that the grand strategy of the demon sect had encountered an unforeseen and catastrophic failure.

"I have no answers, but the death of all those Elders confirms something has gone gravely wrong."

"I suspect some righteous sect cultivators must have intervened and dismantled the Elders' ritual."

"That cannot be; the site for resurrecting the Ancient Demon is hidden in the Mist Mountain Range, the very heart of our territory. How could those righteous fools have tracked it down?"

"Nothing is impossible. Even if the Elders anticipated the risk of resurrecting the Ancient Demon, the righteous sects would never allow us to succeed. They would surely intervene, regardless of the heavy toll it might take on their own forces."

"That is true. While we remain ignorant of exactly how the righteous sects accomplished this, the mass death of the Elders confirms the plan failed, and the Ancient Demon was likely never revived."

A sense of profound gloom hung over the discussions of the numerous demon cultivators.

The influence of the demonic path had just suffered an unparalleled setback.

The simultaneous death of so many Elders significantly drained their collective strength.

It was possible that those righteous factions might soon initiate fresh demon-hunting purges.

To every demon cultivator present, this event was a cataclysmic disaster.

"We must go into hiding immediately; at all costs, we cannot be discovered by those righteous cultivators."

"Indeed, the might of the righteous influence is beyond our current reckoning. Do not fool yourself into believing you can face them directly."

"From this day forward, we must scatter. Do not gather in groups, or we risk being annihilated entirely."

"The world is currently undergoing immense shifts. With the Spiritual Energy Revival, the resurgence of the Demon Dao is inevitable, but we must survive for now."

The demon cultivators, hearts seized with panic, began frantic preparations to flee their current base.

None of them could predict what horrors might manifest next.

If the righteous forces were to track them here, not one soul would escape with their life.

Total dispersal was their only chance to avoid total eradication.

......

In short order, Jiang Fan finished harvesting the storage bags from the fallen demonic cultivators.

Though their collective treasures were not monumental, even a mosquito has meat, as they say.

He certainly would not allow such gains to wither away for nothing.

"These demon cultivators were not exactly paupers."

"They possessed quite the hoard of spirit stones."

"In total, this must be over four billion, perhaps more?"

A sense of satisfaction washed over Jiang Fan.

Even for a cultivator at the Void Refining stage, this was a respectable haul.

Furthermore, their storage bags contained an assortment of elixirs and rare spirit medicines.

Along with a variety of precious ores gathered through the years, everything these cultivators had hoarded eventually found its way into his possession.

He discovered a First-Grade Opportunity tucked away in the storage bag of a Divinity Transformation demon cultivator.

"A Life Source Stone."

"Inside rests a treasure sealed away since the Ancient Era."

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin while examining the fist-sized Life Source Stone.

For reasons unbeknownst to him, the Divinity Transformation cultivator had never broken the seal on this stone.

Perhaps he had attained it so recently that he never found the necessary window of time to open it.

With a sharp crack, he shattered the Life Source Stone without further hesitation.

To his astonishment, a golden seed lay revealed within.

Dense, mysterious runes covered the surface of the golden seed, radiating a potent aura of life; it was undeniably an extraordinary spirit plant.

"What could this be?"

Jiang Fan observed the mysterious seed with burgeoning curiosity.

He tapped it lightly with his fingertip, allowing a sliver of mysterious energy to seep into the object.

The following moment, a message of destiny cascaded into the depths of his sea of consciousness: "Tier Eight Spirit Plant - Profound Yellow Fruit Tree. This plant buds after ten thousand years, blossoms after ten thousand years, matures after ten thousand years, and finally bears Profound Yellow Fruits."

"Each harvest produces nine Profound Yellow Fruits, each containing a touch of Profound Yellow Qi. Consuming them rapidly bolsters a cultivator's cultivation; however, the potency is immense, and only those above the Void Refining stage possess the constitution to safely consume them."

"This..."

Jiang Fan’s pupils tightened as he processed the information.

The versatility of Luck Points was truly staggering.

By spending a portion of his Luck Points, he could peer into the historical destiny of any item.

In a sense, this was an identification skill of unparalleled capability.

Given that Luck Points were exceedingly precious, he rarely utilized this ability unless the item in question was profound indeed.

Yet, there was no denying that this mysterious seed was well worth the expenditure to uncover its secrets.
