Ancient demons, freshly revived, panicked upon recognizing Jiang Fan's Heaven-Time Talisman, immobilizing them briefly as they labeled him the Child of Destiny. Jiang Fan unleashed the Human Emperor Sword, piercing and severely injuring them with purifying power. Rather than slaying them, he sealed the eight demons into Heaven-Collecting Gourd Talismans to avoid alerting the greater threat behind them, explaining his caution to his immortal artifacts.

Should a far more horrifying entity truly lurk behind these demons, the downfall of the Ancient Era's great powers becomes fully comprehensible.

"That's right, I detect a peculiar special force inside these ancient demons."

"Slaying them might trigger dire repercussions."

"It's wiser to confine them within the Ice Prison of the Spirit Ruins Realm."

"The Spirit Ruins Realm's Ice Prison originates from the Immortal Realm's Immortal Prison."

"Locking away these ancient demons proves effortless; breaking out is utterly out of the question."

The Exquisite Tower concurred with this decision.

It naturally perceived a vibe of calamity emanating from these ancient demons.

Even it couldn't hope to refine such a dreadful polluting energy.

Thus, it had no desire to absorb their flesh and blood.

Sometimes, not every item is worth ingesting.

Certain substances, once swallowed, cause digestive woes and benefit neither party.

"Haha, at last, these ancient demons lie vanquished—truly splendid!"

"Now, the Primordial Ruins stand fully reclaimed."

"The demon and monster corpses scattered here have all been utterly cleansed."

"Soon enough, the Primordial Ruins will regain their ancient splendor."

The Primordial Talisman Pen brimmed with excitement at this sight.

It had figured it would never witness the Primordial Ruins' reclamation in its existence.

No one could fault its lack of faith.

The Primordial Ruins suffered devastating infiltration by demonic forces.

This Secret Realm lay pierced with countless breaches.

Purifying the demonic power seemed a near-impossible feat.

Yet astonishingly, it took scarcely any time.

Not only did the Sect Leader of the Mixed Element Talisman Sect seal these ancient demons,

he also completely purged the Primordial Ruins.

Reviving its past magnificence.

Without question, as the Void Realm's Spiritual Qi keeps recovering, this Secret Realm World will reclaim its former majesty.

"Elder Fu, what's our next move for managing the Primordial Ruins?"

Jiang Fan inquired.

Handling the ancient demons marked merely the initial phase.

The key priority lay in reclaiming the Primordial Ruins.

Transforming this ex-Secret Realm World of the Mixed Element Talisman Sect into his own domain.

Remarkably, ten Secret Realm Worlds exist here in total.

Securing this area equals claiming ten Secret Realms, with endless advantages.

Moreover, as the Mixed Element Talisman Sect's former headquarters,

reclaiming the Primordial Ruins holds tremendous value and import.

This resolves a massive karmic burden as well.

"This small matter is straightforward—entrust it to me."

"After all, I serve as the Mixed Element Talisman Sect's inheritance artifact."

"I hold the supreme authority over the Primordial Ruins."

"Once I return to the core, controlling this Secret Realm World comes naturally."

The Primordial Talisman Pen declared with surging enthusiasm.

Swoosh!

In a flash, it morphed into a golden beam of light, plunging straight into the Primordial Ruins' central zone.

It swiftly pinpointed the Grand Array's core and merged within.

Boundless golden radiance burst forth from it.

Golden threads, resembling law inscriptions, stretched across every nook of each Secret Realm.

The long-dormant Primordial Ruins abruptly shuddered and hummed, shaking the surrounding void.

All nine Secret Realm Worlds commenced their rotation.

The gateway to the primary Secret Realm World sealed shut at once, barring any cultivator entry or exit.

Infinite radiance flooded from the void, extending across regions of ten thousand miles, even tens of millions of miles encircling the Primordial Ruins.

Nearby cultivators on the Eastern Continent promptly sensed this shift.

To them, it represented an unparalleled disturbance.

"What's going on? Precisely what transpired at the Primordial Ruins?"

A Celestial Secret Mansion cultivator stared afar, face etched with gravity.

He was aware of the Primordial Ruins' recent anomalies, seized by Primordial Demon Sect cultivators.

Yet the Primordial Ruins' dense demonic qi overwhelmed even Divinity Transformation Cultivators.

Prolonged exposure in that milieu invited demonic qi corrosion, culminating in total demonization.

Hence, numerous Righteous Cultivators forsook the Primordial Ruins and withdrew.

After all, the Eastern Continent brimmed with other Ancient Era remnants.

Particularly with the Void Realm's Spiritual Qi revival, fresh Ancient Era sites surfaced.

The Cultivation World now buzzed with fierce rivalry.

A single fortuitous encounter could propel anyone to immense heights.

"Rumors say the Primordial Demon Sect cultivators strive relentlessly to revive ancient demons."

"Given these signs, did their resurrection truly succeed?"

A Taiyi Sect cultivator uttered gravely.

They monitored the Primordial Demon Sect's actions vigilantly.

Ancient demon resurrection would spell doom for all human cultivators.

Thankfully, their scheme had failed thus far.

"No way—if they pulled it off, things wouldn't appear like this."

"Ancient demons would rampage out immediately for carnage."

"Instead, it feels like the Primordial Ruins underwent some transformation."

"As though somebody seized total command of the Primordial Ruins."

A Dan Ding Sect cultivator narrowed his gaze.

He noticed the demonic qi seepage from the Primordial Ruins had nearly evaporated.

As if an outsider had swept in to cleanse the Primordial Ruins' demonic qi entirely.

That notion stunned him deeply.

The Primordial Ruins had endured prolonged erosion from demon corpse energies.

Even the Eastern Continent's four Divinity Transformation Sects couldn't purge it.

He couldn't fathom who, apart from those four sects, might accomplish such a feat.

If anyone could, it implied another mighty sect rivaled or surpassed the four Divinity Transformation Sects—perhaps outshining even their Dan Ding Sect.

Yet that seemed implausible.

The Eastern Continent spanned finite bounds; such a sect would be known to them.

"In any case, we must report this incident."

"The Primordial Ruins' upheaval could reshape the Eastern Continent's destiny."

A Hundred Flowers Valley female cultivator declared.

She intuitively grasped the Primordial Ruins' change as monumental, far beyond minor cultivators' grasp.

At minimum, a Divinity Transformation Ancestor must step in personally.

......

Meanwhile, Jiang Fan beheld the Primordial Ruins' world-shaking metamorphosis.

With the Primordial Talisman Pen seizing full authority, the ten Secret Realms fused as one.

Simultaneously, every Secret Realm World's portals clamped shut.

Absent his approval, outsiders couldn't infiltrate.

Indisputably, the Primordial Ruins now belonged wholly to him.

"At last, the Primordial Ruins stand reclaimed."

"No—this is no mere ancient ruin anymore."

"It's the Mixed Element Talisman Sect's domain, a true Holy Land."

"Hence, let's rechristen it the Primordial Secret Realm."

"A colossal Secret Realm forged from ten worlds."

"It will rise as the Mixed Element Talisman Sect's paramount Holy Land."

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin, brimming with contentment.

Frankly, the Primordial Secret Realm's expanse was staggeringly immense, virtually limitless.

Resembling a minor world.

Unclear how vast a population it might house.

Furthermore, the Primordial Secret Realm's Spirit Vein had ascended to sixth tier.

Sufficient for Void Refining Cultivators' cultivation.

Paired with its enormous scale and abundant Spiritual Qi, crafting a Cultivation Holy Land proved simple.

He could leverage the Primordial Secret Realm's might to claim a chunk of the Eastern Continent.

Boom~~

Right then, a notification plunged into the depths of Jiang Fan’s sea of consciousness: "You confronted eight freshly revived ancient demons, triumphed in a fierce struggle by sealing them, surmounted a deadly tribulation, gained 1.3 billion Luck Points, and a First-Grade Opportunity."

Feeling this alert, Jiang Fan curved a subtle smile, deeply gratified.

He had finally conquered this ordeal.

Earlier, in truth, he activated the Gate of the Void, depositing the sealed ancient demons into the Spirit Ruins Realm's Ice Prison.

Thus, even if they shattered their bonds, they'd remain trapped in the Ice Prison, incapable of fleeing.
