Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
Jiang Fan successfully defended against the attacks of numerous Void Refining Demon Cultivators using the Heavenless Umbrella. When their attacks were reflected and turned against them, many were severely injured or killed, including Hu Wushuang. Jiang Fan then unleashed the power of his True Spirit bloodline and activated numerous Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans, which annihilated the remaining demon cultivators, leaving behind a vast plain.
Boom~~
At this moment, Jiang Fan flung out a massive hand and swiftly gathered the remains of these Void Refining Demon Cultivators. After all, these were Demon Beasts at the Void Refinement Realm, their every piece of flesh and blood brimming with immense energy. For any cultivator, they were invaluable treasures. If they were put up for sale in the outside world, their price would be astronomical, making these corpses an opportunity too good to pass up. Naturally, the Storage Bags they carried also became his spoils. Essentially, the accumulated wealth of this group of Void Refining Demon Cultivators over the years now rested in his possession. And that Second-Grade Opportunity was right there within those Storage Bags.
Swoosh~
Jiang Fan cast his divine sense across them, probing the treasures contained within these Storage Bags. A multitude of riches instantly materialized in his sea of consciousness, a dazzling, overwhelming spectacle. They truly lived up to their reputation as Void Refining Cultivators from the Ten Thousand Demon Hall; their wealth was no trivial matter. Each Void Refining Demon Cultivator was affluent, possessing abundant assets.
"What is this thing?" "The Ancient Demon Emperor Order? Is this the Second-Grade Opportunity?" Jiang Fan stroked his chin. He immediately located a dark token amongst the contents of the Storage Bag. Its material was unknown, but intricate ancient characters, resembling immortal patterns, were etched upon its surface. He didn't recognize these characters at first, but by employing the Power of Fortune, he was able to identify the item. Consequently, a wealth of information about this token was revealed to him. Unquestionably, this token originated from the palace of the Ancient Demon Emperor, a relic left behind by an ancient emperor during the Primordial Era. Only by possessing this token could one gain entry into the Demon Emperor's cave and claim the inheritances and various opportunities concealed within. This token originally belonged to Hu Wushuang, the Six-Winged Flame Tiger, and represented its ultimate fortune. It was for this reason that it chose to depart from the Ten Thousand Demon Hall and venture into the Void Realm, hoping to access the Ancient Demon Emperor Palace. Alas, before it could achieve its goal, it met its demise at Jiang Fan's hands. Thus, this Ancient Demon Emperor Order inevitably fell into his grasp, becoming his own fated opportunity.
"However, the time is not yet ripe for the Ancient Demon Emperor Palace to manifest. Even with this token, entry and access to the opportunities within are impossible; one must await a certain period." "But if one can indeed enter, the rewards reaped will undoubtedly be extraordinary." Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes. Among the numerous Ancient Cave Mansions scattered throughout the Void Realm, the Ancient Demon Emperor Palace ranked among the highest echelons. After all, its owner was a supreme Demon Emperor who commanded the Demon Race, possessing power on par with an ancient True Spirit. From such an entity's domain, one could only surmise the sheer volume of treasures secreted away inside. For any cultivator, acquiring this token was tantamount to securing a monumental opportunity. It was no wonder it was classified as a Second-Grade Opportunity. Truly, it was an item that even Integration Cultivators would intensely covet.
"But aside from this Ancient Demon Emperor Order, I have also acquired a substantial quantity of Rare Ores." "At least Tier Six, and even some reaching Tier Seven." "All these materials can be utilized to mend the Exquisite Tower." "Perhaps this time, the Exquisite Tower can be completely restored." Jiang Fan was filled with elation. The Exquisite Tower already stood as one of his most crucial Magical Treasures. Unfortunately, it remained in a state of disrepair, with only two of its layers fully mended. Five layers were still in need of restoration. A significant impediment to this was the acute scarcity of various high-tier spiritual materials. The predicament was that such materials were all but extinct within the Void Realm, virtually impossible to locate. Yet, the Void Realm's deficit did not preclude their existence in other realms. For instance, these Void Refining Demon Cultivators from the Ten Thousand Demon Hall had amassed a considerable collection of high-tier spiritual materials. Materials such as Exquisite Crystal Stone, Millennium Warm Jade, Ethereal Crystal, Meteorite Mystirium, and Flaming Sea Scarlet Crystal—all Tier Six or even Tier Seven materials—were incredibly valuable. If he were to seek them out individually, who knew how much time or resources it would consume. But now, it was a godsend—these rare materials had practically presented themselves. It was an unforeseen bonanza.
"Indeed, eradicating these Void Refining Demon Cultivators was the wisest course of action." "Not only did I eliminate a grave peril, serving as a stark warning to others." "I also reaped immense benefits from their demise, which is simply fantastic." Jiang Fan clenched his fist. If the Exquisite Tower were to be fully restored, its power as a Magical Treasure would undoubtedly ascend to another level.
Swoosh!
With this thought, Jiang Fan felt no urge to linger. With a swift application of the Gate of the Void's power, he returned to the Primordial Secret Realm.
Nevertheless, the news regarding the demise of those Void Refining Cultivators from the Ten Thousand Demon Hall rapidly disseminated throughout the Southern Continent.
...
The ones most significantly impacted, however, were undoubtedly the demonic beasts previously subjugated by the Void Refining Demon Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall.
These were indigenous demonic beasts of the Southern Continent, some even reaching Tier Four and Tier Five, yet none had attained Tier Six.
Consequently, when confronted by the Void Refining Demon Cultivators from the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, they opted for submission.
But now that Jiang Fan had eliminated them, the original plan for the Ten Thousand Demon Nation crumbled before it could begin.
This development left these demonic beasts in a state of utter bewilderment.
"Wait, wasn't our objective to establish the Ten Thousand Demon Nation? What course of action should we take now?"
A Tier Five Demon Beast voiced its query.
It was currently adrift, completely uncertain of the path forward.
"Establish what nation? Did you not witness the deaths of that group of Tier Six Great Demons from the Ten Thousand Demon Hall?"
"If we persist with establishing a nation, do you wish for all of us to perish at the hands of human cultivators?"
Another demonic beast retorted with evident irritation.
