Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1065 - 517: Obtaining the Complete Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaf, Instant Teleportation of the Physical Body (2)

Dong!

Shortly after, a fresh notification resonated within his sea of consciousness: "You have discovered an Ancient Cave Mansion, confronted the Thousand Illusion Sect's Otherworld Void Refining Cultivators, neutralized them, and thereby erased a significant threat to the Void Realm. By successfully surviving this life-or-death confrontation, you have been granted thirty million Luck Points and a First-Grade Opportunity."

Jiang Fan allowed a faint smile to play on his lips as he processed the message.

It was evident that destroying the cross-boundary Teleportation Array was the key to truly completing the trial.

If left intact, the Thousand Illusion Sect would have continued to send waves of sect cultivators to plague the Void Realm.

"A First-Grade Opportunity? Does this specific cave mansion actually house such a prize?"

Jiang Fan thoughtfully rubbed his chin.

He swept his gaze over the area; after all, this was a ruin from the Ancient Era.

Even a sinking ship might still have salvageable nails.

There had to be some valuable remnants scattered about.

Given the destiny-prompted notification, a First-Grade Opportunity was certainly hidden nearby.

The cultivators from the Thousand Illusion Sect must have been unaware of it; otherwise, they surely would have claimed it long ago.

A treasure of that caliber would never have been left behind voluntarily.

Acting on the guidance of the destiny prompt, Jiang Fan soon unearthed a Storage Bag buried deep within the earth by an unknown hand.

He popped the seal, and his eyes widened at the sight of a massive pile of Immortal Stones.

After a quick tally, he confirmed there were two thousand of them.

Frankly, that sum was exorbitant.

An amount this vast would have been a massive fortune even during the peak of the Ancient Era.

Yet, here it had remained, hidden away for an eternity.

Since this territory originally belonged to the Thousand Illusion Sect, the original owner of the stash must have been one of their own.

The secrecy of the location suggested that something cataclysmic had occurred in the Ancient Era.

Perhaps the owner was forced to hide the stash to prevent others from seizing it.

Memory fragments from the three fallen Void Refining Cultivators confirmed that the Thousand Illusion Sect was a cutthroat organization.

It was a place where the strong dominated and the weak were merely fodder.

For a lowly cultivator, possession of immense wealth was often a death sentence.

This individual likely hid the goods to survive, and by doing so, he had inadvertently delivered this opportunity right into Jiang Fan's waiting hands.

"Wait, is this the Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaf?!"

"And there are three of them."

"Is this the First-Grade Opportunity?"

Jiang Fan poked through the rest of the contents, his heart drumming fiercely against his ribs.

The discovery of three Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaves left him utterly stunned; the sheer disbelief was overwhelming.

He knew better than anyone the true value of these items.

They were legendary Secret Treasures from the Immortal Realm.

He had previously held six pieces, and they had proven their worth time and again.

Many times, they had been the difference between life and death.

He was acutely aware of how formidable this Immortal Realm treasure could be.

It had always been a source of regret that he couldn't complete the set. Searching for the remaining pieces felt like hunting for a needle in a haystack.

Who could have predicted he would stumble upon the missing pieces within a derelict cave mansion of the Thousand Illusion Sect?

It was truly a case of finding what he had sought everywhere only when he stopped looking.

Whoosh~~

Without a moment's hesitation, Jiang Fan retrieved the three pieces to join them with the stash he already possessed.

In an instant, all nine Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaves merged into a single, massive, translucent wing.

The object dissolved into light, sinking directly into his body to manifest as a pair of wings etched into his frame.

"This..."

Jiang Fan felt an absolute resonance with the void, an intimate connection that felt as natural as breathing.

It was far more than mere proximity; it felt as if they had always been one entity.

Swish!

With a flicker of his intention, the ethereal wings drifted, and he melted seamlessly into the surrounding space.

In the next moment, Jiang Fan had traversed a distance of one thousand kilometers.

"How is this even possible? Is this Instant Teleportation?!"

"And it's a physical Instant Teleportation, essentially the hallmark ability of an Integration Cultivator."

A swell of pure elation washed through Jiang Fan.

He knew that Void Refining Cultivators only had a rudimentary grasp of Void Power.

While they could use their Primordial Spirit for short bursts of movement, attempting to teleport their physical bodies usually caused them to shatter under the immense atmospheric pressure of the void.

To safely perform physical teleportation, one usually had to reach the Integration Realm.

The cultivation of that realm refined the physical body to a level of durability capable of resisting the void's crushing weight.

Yet, because the Immortal Realm Secret Treasure had allowed him to harmonize his body with the void, he effectively became part of it.

Consequently, the void no longer exerted its, destructive pressure upon him.

He could now bridge thousands of miles in a single blink.

If the cultivation world were to discover this, it would surely send shockwaves through every continent.

"The power of nine Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaves not only masks my presence and aura, but it also enables physical Instant Teleportation!"

"It even offers the ability to deflect enemy strikes into the void."

"I am essentially invincible now."

"Wait, even with nine, these Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaves still don't feel like a complete item."

Jiang Fan’s pupils constricted slightly.

He had assumed nine fragments would constitute the entire Immortal Realm Secret Treasure.

But the power he felt suggested otherwise.

The treasure must be a mere shard of something much larger.

Its raw output of power would be impossible to explain otherwise.

The origins of this artifact were undoubtedly far grander than his wildest guesses.

Nonetheless, this was undeniably good news for him.

If nine shards offered such immense advantages, the gain from acquiring the fully realized artifact would be beyond imagination.

"A true First-Grade Opportunity; this Thousand Illusion Sect really came through for me."

"Perhaps they will provide even more surprises later on."

His figure flickered as Jiang Fan departed the scene.

He needed to return and continue his secluded cultivation.

A Second-Layer Void Refining base was far from enough.

The current era of Spiritual Energy Revival was drawing attention from restless Ancient Sects across various Great Thousand Worlds, all eager to breach the Void Realm and snatch loot.

If his strength lagged behind, he could never secure the future of the Primordial Talisman Sect.

Thankfully, he had some time on his side.

These ancient forces wouldn't find it easy to enter the Void Realm at a moment's notice.

...

Meanwhile, in the Thousand Illusion Sect.

The deaths of Peng Yurong, Zhao Haiping, and Qian Guhui resulted in three extinguished Soul Lamps, an event quickly reported to the high-ranking Elders.

They had been keeping a close watch on the expedition for a reason.

They were deeply invested in learning about the state of the Void Realm.

They needed to ensure no hidden dangers could compromise their interests.

"They are dead. Three Void Refining disciples have fallen."

"Intriguing. The Spiritual Qi of the Void Realm has only just begun its revival, right? How could anyone there possibly have the power to execute them?"

"Indeed. Peng Yurong, Zhao Haiping, and Qian Guhui, while not direct disciples, were considered elites. To lose them so abruptly is puzzling. What exactly transpired?"

"It is not just their deaths; the cross-boundary Teleportation Array is ruined as well, blocking our access to the Void Realm for the immediate future."

"Although the Void Realm has been in decay for centuries, the waters there appear to be quite deep."

"Hehe, even though the Taixu Sect was wiped out, let us not forget that the perpetrators who destroyed them are yet to be found. They are still lurking somewhere inside the Void Realm."

"It is clear that sending disciples to scout was necessary, but the Void Realm remains a treacherous hunting ground."

The various Elders of the Thousand Illusion Sect wore grim expressions.

They had been extremely cautious regarding the reconquest of the Void Realm.

After all, their sect had originally been forced to flee from there.

They were intimately familiar with the sheer brutality of their past adversaries.

If not for the desperate pursuit of the Immortal path, they never would have risked returning.

They had planned to proceed with extreme caution, and the deaths of their disciples served as a harsh reminder.

Seizing opportunities in the Void Realm would be anything but a simple task.
