Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1184 - 573: Endless Sea Region, Dragons Among Men

"A beast at the Void Refining Level? Has this world already produced a Void Refining Cultivator?"

Gu Tianya was utterly astonished.

Despite being merely a Qi Refining Cultivator, he had already gathered substantial information about the Eastern Continent through his future divinations.

He was aware that, at present, only Divinity Transformation Cultivators existed on the Eastern Continent.

Void Refining Cultivators had not yet made an appearance.

Yet, based on Steward Liu’s account, a Void Refining Level Sea Beast had actually emerged in the Endless Sea Region, a truly terrifying prospect.

This implied that the rate of evolution for countless Demon Beasts within the Void Realm far surpassed that of human cultivators.

Should these Sea Beasts and Demon Beasts unleash an assault upon the Eastern Continent, one could only speculate about the ensuing catastrophe.

Wait—if the might of Mixed Element Commerce had already extended its reach into the Endless Sea Region, even establishing strongholds within those waters, did this not signify that Mixed Element Commerce was more than just a Divinity Transformation Level Influence?

It might even be a Void Refining Level influence already.

Otherwise, how could a mere "commerce association" possibly have established a presence across various locales in the Void Realm?

"That’s correct. It appears you possess considerable intelligence; you’ve already discerned numerous secrets."

"Our Mixed Element Commerce is not some insignificant Divinity Transformation Level Influence, but rather a Void Refining Level Influence."

"Even if you were to combine all the powers of the Eastern Continent, they would still be no match for our Mixed Element Commerce."

Steward Liu declared with immense pride.

He harbored no objection to revealing a few details to this young man.

Given that the individual had resolved to join Mixed Element Commerce, his departure from his current surroundings was imminent.

Even if he harbored intentions of leaking information about Mixed Element Commerce, he would be incapable of doing so.

"A Void Refining Level Influence?!"

Gu Tianya’s pupils constricted intensely. Though he recognized the formidable nature of Mixed Element Commerce, he had never anticipated its power to be so profound.

It was no wonder they could effortlessly deploy several dozen Divinity Transformation combatants.

With a Void Refining Great Power backing them, these Divinity Transformation combatants likely held little significance.

He felt he had indeed aligned himself with an exceptional force.

And now, this paramount influence was merely offering a glimpse of its true magnitude.

"But if that is the case, why has Mixed Element Commerce not yet unified the Eastern Continent?"

"With Mixed Element Commerce’s overwhelming strength, consolidating dominion over the Eastern Continent should not prove exceedingly difficult, should it?"

Gu Tianya inquired, his curiosity piqued.

"The reason is straightforward: the Void Realm is not home to a solitary Void Refining Level influence."

Steward Liu stated with unwavering calmness.

"How could that be possible?"

"If such a reality existed, why have I never encountered any mention of it previously?"

Gu Tianya found the notion difficult to accept. He perceived the underlying depths of this world to be extraordinarily profound—when did Void Refining Level influences become so prevalent? It defied all comprehension.

"It is entirely reasonable that you have remained unaware."

"This is because those Void Refining Level influences do not originate from within the Void Realm itself but hail from disparate worlds.

"As a consequence of the Spiritual Energy Revival within the Void Realm, other worlds have successfully forged pathways to enter the Void Realm.

"Consequently, during this recent period, a considerable multitude of external cultivators have infiltrated the Void Realm.

"Do not be deceived by the outward appearance of tranquility and peace that the Void Realm currently presents; in actuality, myriad conflicts have already ignited beneath the surface, and these are confrontations occurring at the Void Refining Level."

Steward Liu remarked with a subtle tone.

He had personally borne witness to the remains of a Void Refining Level Demon Beast.

The Lord Sect Master had intentionally placed it on display for the disciples’ observation, ensuring they grasped the terrifying nature of a Void Refining Demon Beast.

Naturally, if a disciple possessed sufficient comprehension, they might even glean valuable insights from the corpse of that Void Refining entity.

This was precisely why he was aware that battles at the Void Refining Level had long since commenced within the Void Realm.

"The adversaries are cultivators from another world?"

"No wonder so many unfamiliar powerhouses have suddenly emerged of late."

"Are some of these formidable individuals hailing from other worlds?"

"The complexities of this world run far deeper than I ever imagined."

Gu Tianya drew in a sharp, cold breath.

He had previously believed that his innate ability to divine the future rendered him sufficiently powerful.

However, the perils lurking within the Void Realm were far more extensive than he had previously conceived.

Even the slightest lapse in vigilance could lead to an encounter with a formidable foe, resulting in the utter annihilation of both his physical form and his Dao.

To endure within the Cultivation Realm, a robust backing was indeed indispensable.

Should one venture forth alone, they would remain utterly oblivious to the cause of their demise.

"Very well, this has little to do with a Qi Cultivator at your stage anyway."

"These are matters that only High-tier Cultivators need to concern themselves with."

"For the time being, you should just cultivate diligently and concentrate on reaching Foundation Establishment first."

Steward Liu gestured dismissively.

"Understood."

Gu Tianya offered a nod. Despite his intense curiosity about these hidden affairs, he recognized that possessing too much knowledge might not always be beneficial—he was, after all, merely a Qi Refining Cultivator.

Nevertheless, he resolved to once again consult the threads of fate.

Should any peril truly lie in wait upon reaching the Endless Sea Region, he would promptly retreat.

He absolutely could not afford to perish on some assigned task.

...Another day concluded.

Gu Tianya activated his future-seeing ability and immediately gained insight into the events of the upcoming three days.

Evidently, Mixed Element Commerce operated with remarkable efficiency; on the second day, they escorted him out of the city and set a course for the Endless Sea Region.

"They actually possess a spatial bridge within Mixed Element Commerce that leads directly to the Endless Sea Region."

"And it requires merely a single Talisman, yet it achieves the same effect as an Ancient Teleportation Array."

"So this is the method employed by a Void Refining Level influence?"

"It's no wonder the merchandise of Mixed Element Commerce circulates so widely, and no one has ever witnessed how they transport their goods."

"So they were relying on this approach all along."

Gu Tianya was struck with profound astonishment; he had uncovered even more secrets pertaining to Mixed Element Commerce.

Each establishment under the Mixed Element Commerce banner housed a similar spatial passage.
