Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1173 - 568: Crossing the Tribulation with Ease, Obtaining a First-Grade Opportunity

The countenances of the five Star Sect Void Refining cultivators shifted drastically, sensing a deadly crisis closing in.

They tried to unleash their stellar magical power to break free, yet discovered their Primordial Spirits assailed by intense cold, drastically reducing their operational speed by ninety percent. Tiny ice crystals even began forming within their meridians.

The cultivators felt a desperate anxiety, attempting to rip through the void to escape. However, they realized the surrounding void had already been frozen solid by the Nine Heavens Ice Qi. Even the spatial fissures were sealed with ice, rendering any traversal impossible.

The Nine Heavens Ice Qi surged outwards like an overwhelming tide, and the bodies of the five cultivators visibly began to freeze. First, their hair and brows sprouted ice flowers, then the pervasive cold seeped through their skin into their very beings, encasing their clothing, Magical Treasures, flesh, and even their souls in ice.

They remained frozen in their attacking or fleeing stances, their eyes wide with lingering terror and regret, utterly immobile.

After a brief moment, the icy Qi gradually retreated, drawn back into the Qiangian Ice-Marrow Pearl, its gem-like light dimming noticeably.

Hanging high in the sky, the five cultivators were transformed into lifelike ice sculptures, suspended in mid-air. The patterns on their clothing, the details of their Magical Treasures, and even their ferocious expressions were perfectly preserved in ice. A faint, ghostly blue chill lingered on their surfaces, emitting an extreme cold pressure that daunted both heaven and earth.

The surrounding void persisted in its frozen state, with countless ice crystals drifting about, resembling an ice-sealed, star-filled Secret Realm.

"Not bad."

Jiang Fan retracted the Qiangian Ice-Marrow Pearl, feeling quite pleased with the potency of this Magical Treasure.

Especially since his advancement to the Eighth Layer of Void Refining, he could now unleash even greater power from this artifact.

Against cultivators of the same rank, facing him would be practically insurmountable.

This is the profound power of Magical Treasures, capable of amplifying a cultivator's combat strength by dozens of times.

If these Star Sect cultivators had possessed similar treasures, dealing with them would not have been so straightforward.

However, treasures of the Sub-Immortal Artifact level are not easily obtained by every cultivator.

Boom~~

In the next instant, Jiang Fan gestured with his hand, swiftly gathering the five frozen figures and placing them into the inner world of the Exquisite Tower for temporary safekeeping.

As Void Refining cultivators, they were naturally not dead, nor was killing them simple.

But now was not the opportune moment to thaw them.

After they have weathered this ordeal, converting these cultivators will not be too late.

Swoosh!

Jiang Fan’s figure blurred; he had already located the concealed spatial entrance leading to this prison world.

Passing through this spatial entrance would instantaneously lead one to the deepest parts of the Kunpeng Nest.

After all, he was aware that the greatest adversary of the Kunpeng Nest was the Soul Change Esoteric.

These Star Sect cultivators were hardly his true enemies.

There wasn't even the slightest hint from fate indicating they posed a calamity for him.

...

Meanwhile, deep within the Kunpeng Nest.

The Soul Change Esoteric naturally sensed the events unfolding in the prison world.

"Useless, utterly useless."

"Couldn't even hold on for a single breath?!"

"This human cultivator is indeed troublesome; no wonder he could sign a Dao Contract with a True Spirit?"

"Could this fellow truly be the Child of Destiny of the Void Realm?"

The Soul Change Esoteric adopted a solemn expression.

It had initially assumed that the combined forces of the Star Sect Cultivators, even if unable to vanquish this human cultivator, would at least manage to deplete some of his magical power or inflict severe injuries upon the youth.

Who could have predicted that this human cultivator's methods would be so mysterious and unpredictable?

In mere moments, he had effortlessly dealt with five late-stage Void Refining cultivators.

It was truly astounding.

If it hadn't witnessed it firsthand, it would have found such an event unbelievable.

One could only surmise that this human cultivator truly possessed extraordinary means.

No wonder it felt a sense of threat from him.

"Fortunately, it detained this individual early in the prison world, didn't it?"

"Even if this lad managed to defeat the Void Refining Cultivators, he couldn't possibly escape from here."

"For the time being, simply confining him here will suffice."

"Perhaps there will be an opportunity to invade his soul."

The Soul Change Esoteric brimmed with killing intent.

It had never been one for direct confrontation; engaging enemies head-on was the most foolish course of action.

The superior method was to stealthily outmaneuver and eliminate enemies.

In the Ancient Era, countless Great Powers had fallen prey to its cunning schemes.

It believed this human cultivator would be no different.

"Wait, why has this fellow suddenly vanished?"

"Could it be that there are numerous uncharted territories within the Kunpeng Nest?"

At this moment, the Soul Change Esoteric was filled with bewilderment.

The prison world's perception revealed Jiang Fan's movement toward a seemingly nondescript valley.

Yet, in the blink of an eye, the cultivator's form dissipated, vanishing without a trace.

A profound sense of dread began to consume it as the situation spiraled beyond its control.

Such an event had never occurred before.

This was despite its extensive experience in countless battles it had orchestrated.

Now, the appearance of this human cultivator made it feel as though everything was slipping through its grasp.

It felt as if a hidden entity was observing its every action from the darkness.

The true perplexity lay in the fact that it had never encountered or battled this human before.

Why could this individual so expertly sidestep every deadly predicament? What was the reason behind this?

"Damn it, this brat has already phantasmed his way here."
