Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1089 - 529: The Primordial Secret Realm Two Years Later, Primordial Reincarnation Array (2)

Currently, the Primordial Talisman Sect hasn't made any moves at all, behaving as though the event never occurred.

This left him deeply perplexed.

"I'm also quite puzzled about this."

"I asked my master about it before."

"It's closely linked to the Spiritual Qi revival in the Void Realm."

Yin Zhao Feng stated.

Though Daoist Xuan Cheng was indeed concealed inside his Lifebound Magical Treasure, he didn't dare to casually disclose his location, so whenever he encountered Jiang Fan, he went to great lengths to stay hidden.

As a result, he remained ignorant of the discussions between Yin Zhao Feng and Jiang Fan.

He was still in the dark about certain sensitive details concerning the Primordial Talisman Sect.

"Oh? What exactly is the connection?"

Daoist Xuan Cheng inquired with curiosity.

He had certainly detected an extraordinary shift in the Void Realm.

For now, these transformations appeared to offer tremendous advantages to regular cultivators.

After all, breaking through to higher Realms had become far simpler than in the past.

It wasn't the grueling ordeal it once was, where even reaching Foundation Establishment felt like an unattainable dream.

"The Spiritual Qi revival has indeed delivered massive benefits to Void Realm cultivators."

"It has simplified cultivation for everyone involved."

"However, this comes with serious drawbacks."

"The biggest drawback is the awakening of those sealed ancient demons."

"Even though my master personally struck down several ancient demons."

"There are simply far too many of them."

"No way could my master handle every single one alone."

"Thus, the demon disaster is poised to explode across the Void Realm very soon."

Yin Zhao Feng declared, his face etched with grave concern.

"The demon disaster is about to erupt?!"

"That would truly spell catastrophe on a massive scale."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Xuan Cheng's expression turned profoundly somber.

As a former Divinity Transformation Cultivator, he had explored numerous Ancient Secret Realms.

Many of those Ancient Secret Realms contained horrifying ancient demons under seal.

Despite the passage of billions of years, these ancient demons hadn't perished.

Resurrection remained a real threat for them.

Yet even in their weakened state, these ancient demons could effortlessly slay a Divinity Transformation Cultivator.

He shuddered at the thought.

Of what unimaginable calamity would unfold if these ancient demons fully revived.

Just imagining it sent icy shivers racing down his back.

"You and I both hail from the Western Continent."

"The Western Continent stands out compared to other regions."

"It boasts countless True Spirit Secret Realms across its vast expanse."

"In other words, back in the Ancient Era, True Spirits dominated the Western Continent."

"Precisely because of that, a huge number of ancient demons ended up sealed here on the Western Continent."

"Should these ancient demons break loose, they could ravage the entire Western Continent."

"The death toll would be beyond counting."

Yin Zhao Feng warned.

Clearly, this looming threat is what has the Primordial Talisman Sect and Jiang Fan on high alert.

For Jiang Fan, conquering the Western Continent would be a straightforward affair.

A single personal intervention from him could swiftly eradicate the four Divinity Transformation Demon Races.

But then, could the human race hold the Western Continent?

Not a chance.

Humans on the Western Continent are far too scarce in numbers right now.

Even relocating every last one from the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm would only claim a tiny fraction of the land.

It would require thousands of years of growth before the human population could adequately fill the Western Continent.

Causing destruction is simple.

True development, however, presents an immense challenge.

"So Jiang Daoist is concerned about the havoc from reviving ancient demons?"

"If humans seize cities on the Western Continent, a revival of ancient demons would force them to confront those monstrous foes head-on."

"Even as a Void Refining Sect, the Primordial Talisman Sect relies heavily on Jiang Daoist as its backbone."

"Yet Jiang Daoist can't be everywhere at once; he's just one man, stretched impossibly thin."

"Guarding such an enormous territory is utterly impossible."

Daoist Xuan Cheng abruptly understood.

He instantly grasped the true strategy behind the Primordial Talisman Sect and Jiang Fan.

The demon disaster's outbreak feels inevitable.

Claiming excessive territory would only spell trouble.

The larger the holdings, the more the Sect's forces get scattered.

With ancient demons potentially surging from multiple fronts, the Primordial Talisman Sect could face total annihilation.

He sought only vengeance.

Yet the Primordial Talisman Sect looked far ahead, avoiding narrow-minded views.

"Exactly. That's why the Sect is prioritizing growth within the Secret Realm World right now."

"External cities might crumble under a full-scale ancient demon resurgence."

"When push comes to shove, we can evacuate all humans into the Secret Realm."

"There, we can harness the Secret Realm's might to battle those ancient demons."

Yin Zhao Feng spoke, filled with deep admiration.

He held immense reverence for his master's visionary wisdom.

This was true brilliance.

Planning for potential loss even before pursuing triumph.

Thus, they positioned themselves beyond defeat.

"Has it reached such a dire level?"

"Is Jiang Daoist already contemplating full abandonment of the outer cities?"

Daoist Xuan Cheng was stunned.

Though aware of the ancient demons' potential terror, he figured humanity's current strength might suffice to repel them.

But this Void Refining Cultivator saw otherwise.

Even as the Void Realm's mightiest, he deemed resistance to the demon disaster unfeasible.

Hence, retreat options were already in motion.

"This is merely one of my master's backup plans."

"It might not come to that."

"After all, the future remains unpredictable."

"That's why master chose not to eradicate those Divinity Transformation Demon Cultivators."

"Their lives must be preserved instead."

"In a way, these Divinity Transformation Races act as a buffer zone."

"Should a fearsome ancient demon emerge, these demon cultivators could at least buy us time by clashing with some."

Yin Zhao Feng gave a faint smile.

For the current Primordial Talisman Sect, the demon races across the Western Continent posed no real danger and could be crushed whenever desired.

Eliminating every demon cultivator would only aid the ancient demons unintentionally.

Far better to let those races serve as frontline defenders against such perils.

"A buffer zone, eh?"

Daoist Xuan Cheng chuckled upon hearing this.

He never dreamed humanity had advanced to such heights.

In mere decades, less than a century at most.

Yet the Primordial Talisman Sect dismissed those Divinity Transformation Races as trivial.

They were mere morsels, ready for consumption at leisure.

Upon reflection, it made perfect sense.

After all, Jiang Daoist was a Void Refining powerhouse.

A lone Void Refining could annihilate hordes of Divinity Transformations.

Even united, those races stood no chance.

In a single breath, they could vanish.

Right now, the Primordial Talisman Sect's top priority remains steady development.

The Sect's younger generation is still too feeble.

Take Yin Zhao Feng, a True Disciple, who just advanced to Golden Core.

Whereas ancient Divinity Transformation Sects boast countless True Disciples at Nascent Soul.

But the Primordial Talisman Sect's brief history explains that.

Give them centuries or millennia, and the landscape shifts dramatically.

Then, the Primordial Talisman Sect will stand as a timeless, dominant force.

"Still, the Void Realm faces threats beyond just ancient demons."

Yin Zhao Feng went on.

"Beyond ancient demons? Are there even mightier foes?"

Daoist Xuan Cheng was shocked.

He felt like a clueless Divinity Transformation Cultivator, no better than a basic Qi Refining one.

How many Void Realm secrets did the Primordial Talisman Sect guard?

"Indeed, elder. You're familiar with the ancient sects."

"A colossal catastrophe in the Ancient Era wiped out countless ancient sects entirely."

"Yet some ancient sects endured regardless."

Yin Zhao Feng revealed.
