Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1087 - 528: Gaining the Five-Thunder Immortal Talisman, Treasure of the Primordial Ruins (2)

Thus, he possessed a basic understanding of this Immortal Talisman.

"Yes, it truly possesses the power to weaken the Thunder Tribulation."

"Even when crossing the Tribulation for ascension, this Immortal Talisman holds great importance."

"In ancient times, the Primordial Talisman Sect relied on this Immortal Talisman to assist countless disciples in surviving the Thunder Tribulation."

"This very reason ensured that high-level cultivators emerged endlessly from the Primordial Talisman Sect."

"For our Sect, this Immortal Talisman is utterly essential."

The Primordial Talisman Pen elaborated.

That was exactly why it felt such overwhelming excitement upon finding the Five Thunder Immortal Talisman.

To numerous disciples in the Sect, this Immortal Talisman was extraordinarily valuable.

Indeed, occasionally, even prodigious disciples fail to endure the Thunder Tribulation and perish miserably beneath it.

"That’s correct."

Jiang Fan nodded, feeling deeply pleased.

Although he might not require the Five Thunder Immortal Talisman during his own ascension.

Still, possessing an extra safeguard was far superior to lacking one.

In the absence of surprises, it would remain unused.

Yet should unforeseen troubles arise, this Immortal Talisman would serve as a vital lifesaver.

"Still, the massive disturbance in the Primordial Secret Realm could draw attention from certain powers in the East Continent."

"There won’t be any issues, will there?"

Jiang Fan inquired.

He sensed that the East Continent’s depths were profoundly treacherous.

Far more so than the Southern Continent, Western Continent, or Black Dragon Sea Region.

This land had once stood as the Void Realm’s central hub.

Myriad ancient sects had flourished here in bygone eras.

Consequently, the East Continent brimmed with ancient cave mansions and hidden secret realms.

Hidden ancient powers might even lurk within its shadows.

The region teemed with concealed experts, its true nature impossible to fathom.

Despite reaching the Third-Layer Void Refining stage, he dared not act carelessly here.

Should the Primordial Talisman Sect reveal itself in the East Continent, it would invite covetous gazes from all sides.

Shadowy hidden forces could then target him directly.

For that reason, it was wiser to shun grand displays until absolute power was secured.

"Rest assured, this poses no concern whatsoever."

"I have fully seized command of the Primordial Secret Realm."

"Every entrance to the secret realm stands sealed tight."

"External cultivators cannot breach the Primordial Secret Realm without my approval—it’s practically impossible."

"Therefore, this domain can fully serve as the Primordial Talisman Sect’s stronghold, even a sacred ground."

"No matter how inquisitive outsiders grow, they’ll learn nothing of our Primordial Talisman Sect."

The Primordial Talisman Pen declared with full assurance.

For it had already claimed complete authority over the Primordial Secret Realm.

Even amid severe damage to the realm, the lingering Tier Eight Array wielded tremendous might.

Current Void Realm factions could scarcely challenge it.

"Excellent."

Jiang Fan nodded, thoroughly content.

He intended to dispatch additional Primordial Talisman Sect cultivators into the Primordial Secret Realm.

After all, such an expansive Secret Realm World demanded more hands for proper development.

Neglecting it would be a tremendous waste.

Yet the paramount matter remained his own cultivation progress.

He believed that a bit more secluded cultivation would propel him swiftly to Fourth-Layer Void Refining.

Only relentless advancement in cultivation could equip him against ceaseless calamities.

Merely dwelling at Void Refining was insufficient.

…

Meanwhile, the top echelons of the four Divinity Transformation Sects in the East Continent were the initial ones to detect the shifts in the Primordial Ruins.

For them, the Primordial Ruins had long been a volatile powder keg.

Uncertain when it might detonate and unleash catastrophe.

The alterations in the Primordial Ruins now struck at their deepest apprehensions.

"The Space Gate to the Primordial Ruins has sealed completely."

"Entry into the Primordial Ruins is now impossible for anyone."

"Reports claim that Primordial Demon Sect Elders ventured into the Primordial Ruins."

"Their goal was to revive the Ancient Demons inside."

"Evidently, their scheme hit major obstacles."

A Divinity Transformation Ancestor murmured softly.

As perennial foes of the Primordial Demon Sect, they monitored it vigilantly.

They had even embedded countless spies amid its ranks.

In Demon Cultivator circles, loyalty was rare; for resources, betrayal came easily—even of their own Sect’s welfare.

Competition within Demon Sects raged fiercely and ruthlessly.

No Demon Cultivator craved death; all yearned to rise higher, opening doors for Righteous Sects to buy intelligence.

Vast troves of Demon Sect secrets spilled from these informants.

This granted Righteous Sects deep insights into Demon Sect maneuvers.

"Haha, as I predicted, reviving Ancient Demons proves no simple feat. The Demon whelps have taken a severe blow at last—most satisfying."

"True enough, those Ancient Demons perished eons ago. Any lingering vitality would have eroded away long since. Pure fantasy on their part."

"That said, Divinity Transformation Demon Cultivators shouldn’t fall so readily in the Primordial Ruins."

"Underestimate the Primordial Ruins at your peril—it’s an Ancient Secret Realm brimming with unknown perils. Likely, those Primordial Demon Sect cultivators activated some ancient trap, leading to their doom and this upheaval."

"Precisely, with the Void Realm’s Spiritual Energy surging back to life and Tier Six Spirit Veins surfacing, the path to Void Refining lies wide open. Such changes haven’t occurred in millennia."

"Tsk tsk, cultivators now break through to Divinity Transformation far more readily. Before, the East Continent birthed merely a dozen or so Divinity Transformation beings; now over a hundred have risen—an era beyond imagination. Miss the chances, and we’ll lag behind."

"In essence, the first Sect to forge a Void Refining Cultivator will dominate the East Continent."

"Heh heh, reaching Void Refining demands more than opportunity. Even with gates flung open, it remains a daunting trial."

"A Primordial Demon Sect Divinity Transformation Cultivator once tried for Void Refining, only to be obliterated by the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation—utterly erased. A joyous sight."

The Divinity Transformation Cultivators chatted fervently.

They hadn’t foreseen the era shifting so abruptly.

Once, Divinity Transformation Cultivators reigned as Ancestors, crowning the Void Realm’s pyramid.

Achieving Divinity Transformation was exceedingly scarce.

Yet in this brief span, Nascent Soul Cultivators’ ascent to Divinity Transformation had surged, spawning hordes of new ones.

Thankfully, Righteous and Demon advancements stayed roughly even.

Lest it ignite a full-scale Righteous-Demon War.

Even thus, complacency had no place.

This was merely the prelude to tempests ahead.

Every faction now awaited the emergence of fresh Void Refining Cultivators.

The first to claim one would lord over the East Continent.

"Void Refining demands unique fortunes still."

"Heh, one spot overflows with Void Refining prospects: the Fallen Immortal Mountain Range."

"True, the Fallen Immortal Mountain Range defies comprehension. To date, we’ve barely scratched its surface. Fallen Immortals might truly dwell there."

"Indeed, post-Spiritual Energy Revival, the Fallen Immortal Mountain Range has stirred more, revealing myriad Ancient Cave Mansions. Snaring an Ancient Era treasure could catapult one to Void Refining."

"Beyond Void Refining, this golden age hints at Integration or even Mahayana ascents."

The gazes of countless Divinity Transformation Cultivators burned with boundless greed and yearning.

In the prior Void Realm, absent Spiritual Energy Revival, Divinity Transformation marked the pinnacle.

After 3,000 years, even prodigies crumbled to dust.

But circumstances had transformed.

Shifts in Heaven and Earth Laws and cultivation conditions now promised greater heights.

As this realm’s supreme powers, they refused to stagnate here.

Fortuitously, the East Continent lately brimmed with boundless prospects.

This ignited fiercer ambitions within them.
