Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1064 - 517: Obtaining the Complete Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaf, Physical Instant Teleportation

Boom!

Before Peng Yurong, Zhao Haiping, and Qian Gehui could even grasp the situation, Jiang Fan swung his staff once more.

The strike descended with the force of a collapsing universe, appearing as if a pillar supporting the heavens had shattered, possessing a vastness that threatened to tear the very void asunder.

In that singular motion, the three Void Refining cultivators from the Thousand Illusion Sect were obliterated.

Their forms were utterly reduced to a crimson mist of blood.

Fine, jagged fissures spiderwebbed across the surrounding space.

A profound sense of resentment surged through them in their final moments; they were elite disciples of the Thousand Illusion Sect, yet they had met such an ignoble end in this remote, backward corner of the world.

Regardless of their indignation, their fates were sealed.

"Hm?!"

As the trio perished, Jiang Fan immediately detected small, dark specks of light manifesting from their remains, resembling a virulent infection.

Yet, the moment these dark specks neared him, the Human Emperor Sword at his side flared with a brilliant white radiance—the Purification Immortal Light—instantly purging the malevolent curse.

It was clear that the Thousand Illusion Sect was far from ordinary, having woven a hidden trap into these three disciples.

Should an assailant slay them, the curse would persist, allowing the sect to track the culprit or derive information through the laws of causality.

Alas, such tricks were rendered powerless against him.

They were destined to fail in their efforts to ensnare him.

Boom!

Wielding the Human Emperor Banner, Jiang Fan proceeded to harvest the souls of the three Void Refining cultivators, binding them into the artifact’s collection.

Simultaneously, he delved into their memories, extracting a wealth of knowledge.

Specifically, he uncovered details regarding the Thousand Illusion Sect.

"They have actually subjugated an entire Great Thousand World?"

"And there dwell countless Mahayana level cultivators, most of whom remain in deep slumber."

"The sheer dominance of this sect is simply unfathomable."

Jiang Fan’s pupils tightened.

He identified the three as Peng Yurong, Zhao Haiping, and Qian Gehui, noting that their standing within the hierarchy was quite low.

Their dispatch to the Taixu Sect had been a form of punishment, relegating them to the role of disposable cannon fodder.

The scale of the Thousand Illusion Sect’s influence was staggering.

Even Void Refining cultivators were viewed as nothing more than slightly resilient soldiers; their deaths were as inconsequential to the sect as a light breeze.

Their power stemmed from their total control over a Great Thousand World, granting them access to all its vast resources.

Every individual born within their realm was indoctrinated from birth as a disciple of the sect.

No talent within that world would ever go unnoticed or unrefined.

Naturally, the sect flourished, teeming with genius after genius.

More significantly, the Thousand Illusion Sect maintained active alliances with other ancient sects and interconnected worlds.

Regular trade and knowledge exchange between them further solidified their terrifying, bottomless strength.

"Furthermore, the members of this sect excel in the art of soul enslavement."

"It is no wonder that this organization must be barred from gaining a foothold in the Void Realm."

Jiang Fan tightened his grip.

He understood that the resurgence of these ancient sects was an tide that could not be easily turned.

The Void Realm was immense, and the number of ancient cave mansions hidden within its corners remained a mystery.

Many of these sites likely harbored the devious legacy of ancient sects, offering them potential gateways back into the world at any moment.

He was but one man and lacked the power to hold back every front.

Nevertheless, the Thousand Illusion Sect, in particular, had to be prevented from returning.

The danger they posed was simply too extreme.

With their expertise in concealment, infiltration, and soul manipulation, many weaker forces would surely succumb if the sect were allowed ingress to the Void Realm.

Once they established a presence, purging them would prove nearly impossible.

They held no regard for life and would not hesitate to use innocent cultivators or mortals as leverage for their own ends.

Until the Primordial Talisman Sect expanded its strength, the Thousand Illusion Sect could not be permitted to enter the Void Realm.

To do so would invite a catastrophe rivaling the awakening of ancient demons.

"I must dismantle this cross-dimensional teleportation array."

"Doing so will preclude their arrival in the Void Realm for the foreseeable future."

"They may harbor other concealed tricks within this world, but activating them will surely require a significant span of time."

A frosty glint sharpened in Jiang Fan’s eyes.

Without hesitation, he walked into the Thousand Illusion Sect’s hidden relic cavern.

It housed a compact secret realm, within which he quickly located the massive cross-dimensional array.

The floor was etched with intricate, highly complex patterns, testament to the immense quantity of rare materials poured into its construction.

Furthermore, the consumption required to fuel its activation was astronomical, far beyond the reach of even most Mahayana level sects.

While a treasure like the Gate of the Void remained peerless and unobtainable for others, the cross-dimensional array was the next most potent—and expensive—alternative.

Boom!

Moments later, the array was reduced to ruins by Jiang Fan’s hand.

By destroying it, he successfully neutralized this particular threat, ensuring the Thousand Illusion Sect remained barred from traversing into the Void Realm.
