Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1070 - 520: Becoming an Honored Guest Elder, the Mission of the Primordial Talisman Sect

"Uh, I’m afraid it won’t work."

"The Ancient Teleportation Array belongs solely to members of the Primordial Talisman Sect."

"Unless you’re a disciple or elder there, regular teleportation arrays are your only option."

"That said, with the ancestor’s strength, gaining entry as an Honored Guest Elder seems likely."

"After that, teleporting to distant locations should become possible."

Zhao Xuecheng pondered briefly before responding.

He himself had entered the Primordial Talisman Sect.

Lacking sufficient contributions, however, kept him from using the Ancient Teleportation Array, confining him to the Black Dragon Sea Region.

For him, it hardly mattered.

Cultivation resources in the Black Dragon Sea Region overflowed in abundance.

He wouldn’t need to seek elsewhere until reaching Divinity Transformation.

"Join the Primordial Talisman Sect?"

"Would they accept an old fellow like me?"

Zhao Xuan rubbed his chin at these words.

Joining a formidable power held no repulsion for him.

If it boosted his progress, pledging service made perfect sense.

The Primordial Talisman Sect even offered ways to break through from Divinity Transformation to Refining Void.

Entry there promised a shot at Refining Void.

Still, acceptance worried him.

His age was undeniably great.

Loyalty from one so aged remained uncertain.

In the Sect Leader’s shoes, he’d balk at recruiting such a senior cultivator.

"Grandfather, that’s no concern whatsoever."

"The Primordial Talisman Sect hungers for talents at present."

"Divinity Transformation cultivators are in short supply for them."

"If grandfather agrees to join, Honored Guest Elder status awaits for sure."

"I’ll serve as your guarantor to enter the Primordial Talisman Sect."

Zhao Xuecheng declared with thrill.

Grandfather’s membership would grant him a mighty protector.

Sect contributions would flow far more readily.

Before long, grandfather’s clout might secure Primordial Spirit Pills.

The Zhao Family could soon boast a second Divinity Transformation powerhouse.

"Very well, let’s attempt it."

Zhao Xuan gave a nod.

The Primordial Talisman Sect’s fame was known to him.

It ranked as a famed orthodox sect, no Demon Sect.

Rejection brought no deadly peril.

Trying held zero true risk.

Little lost in denial.

Immense gains upon success.

...

Days later.

As Zhao Xuecheng foresaw, the Primordial Talisman Sect craved talents fiercely.

Zhao Xuan’s verifiable origins let him join effortlessly as an Honored Guest Elder.

"Grandfather, joining the sect proved far simpler than I imagined."

"I expected certain hurdles."

"Incidentally, grandfather, you encountered the Sect Master? How is he?"

Zhao Xuecheng voiced with excitement.

The process unfolded without any snags.

Eyes fixed on Zhao Xuan, curiosity blazed within him now.

Deep down, fascination gripped him toward the Primordial Talisman Sect Leader, that mythic Void Refining expert.

Weak cultivation had denied him prior meetings with such titans.

"Lord Sect Master possesses profound wisdom and overwhelming might."

"He merits the Void Refining title completely."

"His power eclipses Divinity Transformation by leagues."

"One mere thought from Lord Sect Master could slay me."

Zhao Xuan conveyed with profound feeling.

Freshly admitted to the Primordial Talisman Sect, he’d faced Jiang Fan—his avatar, truly, for the true form lingered in secluded cultivation.

That avatar alone matched a standard Void Refining fighter’s prowess.

Overseeing routine sect duties posed no challenge.

This clash unveiled the sheer terror of Void Refining presence.

A single meeting shattered any urge to resist.

"Void Refining cultivators terrify to that degree?"

"Grandfather, you’ve hit Divinity Transformation Perfection, haven’t you?"

"Not even a chance to fight back?"

Zhao Xuecheng questioned in wonder.

The gulf between Divinity Transformation and Void Refining loomed large in knowledge, yet its depth stunned him.

No blame there.

A beggar grasps not an emperor’s realm.

"None whatsoever."

"Realm progression amplifies gaps between stages."

"Leapfrogging foes turns virtually unattainable."

"Void Refining unlocks grasp of Void Power and Domain Power."

"Domain’s unleashing would pin me down at once."

"Resistance? Impossible."

Zhao Xuan laid out clearly.

Such utter frailty hadn’t struck in ages.

It stoked his fierce longing for Refining Void.

Dao pursuit flared ever brighter.

Truthfully, gratitude filled him that Void Realm revival timed with his waning lifespan.

Later by moments, oblivion would claim him.

He’d seized a grand era’s outset.

Timing lagged slightly, yet opportunities endured.

Refining Void beckoned in time.

"Grandfather, now that you’ve become an Honored Guest Elder."
