Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1185 - 573: Endless Sea Region, Dragons Among Men_2

A portal facilitating inter-regional travel exists within this space.

It offers unparalleled convenience for both escaping danger and transporting goods.

Furthermore, it enables the instantaneous movement of merchandise from diverse locations.

Its operational efficiency far surpasses that of other commerce guilds, by an immeasurable degree.

It's no wonder the Mixed Element Commerce never experiences shortages; whatever customers purchase, they can replenish that same amount.

Their inventory appears virtually bottomless.

Concurrently, it proves impossible for any rogue cultivators to successfully rob the Mixed Element Commerce.

Because their goods are directly teleported, there's no feasible way to intercept the Mixed Element Commerce's transport routes.

"Aside from myself, numerous members of the Mixed Element Commerce were also transported to the Endless Sea Region."

Gu Tianya meticulously analyzed the intelligence gathered from this precognitive vision.

He discovered he had been teleported to the primary headquarters of the Mixed Element Commerce, situated in the Eastern Continent.

This location had already become a gathering point for young cultivators from various territories.

These aspiring cultivators had only recently joined the Mixed Element Commerce.

Subsequently, via the headquarters' spatial bridge, they were dispatched to one of the numerous islands within the Endless Sea Region.

This particular island had been extensively developed by the Mixed Element Commerce, transformed into a colossal metropolis.

It possessed the capacity to house a billion individuals.

Yet, as of the present moment, it was inhabited by only a few million human cultivators.

"You cannot be serious! How can there possibly be so many human cultivators?"

"Is it not commonly understood that only those possessing a spirit root are capable of cultivation?"

"Could such a vast multitude of cultivators with spirit roots truly exist in this world?"

Gu Tianya was utterly astonished.

It was understandable why Gu Tianya found himself so flabbergasted.

Even within a region like the Eastern Continent, cultivators are remarkably few in number.

In comparison to ordinary mortals, individuals with spirit roots are a rarity, found at a ratio of merely one in ten thousand.

Ordinary mortals, throughout their entire lives, rarely encounter opportunities for cultivation.

Even though he himself was merely a cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Stage, a trivial rank within the grand scheme of the Cultivation Realm.

However, were he to return to a mortal domain, he could still command respect and wield power for an extended period.

Nevertheless, any cultivator with a degree of self-assurance would never choose a life of indolence and decline in a mortal country.

But here, on a single island, resided several million cultivators at the Qi Cultivation Stage, a fact truly preposterous and beyond his comprehension.

"Wait, these cultivators were not originally born with spirit roots; the majority were mere mortals."

"However, they were able to tread the path of the Martial Dao, subsequently condensing an acquired spirit root, and thus commencing their journey of cultivation."

"This is unbelievable! While it is indeed possible, enabling such a vast number of mortals to follow this path and condense acquired spirit roots would necessitate an astronomical quantity of resources."

Gu Tianya swiftly grasped the backgrounds of these cultivators.

He had never conceived that these cultivators were initially just ordinary mortals.

Yet, through their diligent practice of the Martial Dao, they had defied their predestined fate, condensed acquired spirit roots, and embarked on the path of cultivation.

Some, possessing monstrous talent in the Martial Dao, even managed to condense high-grade spirit roots.

In an instant, they transformed into prodigies within the Cultivation Realm, inciting immense envy.

And these mortals were not an isolated handful, but an entire cohort.

Furthermore, this constituted merely one island among potentially many.

Who could fathom the total number of Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivators operating under the banner of the Mixed Element Commerce?

The sheer volume of talent was staggering, almost defying imagination.

"So, behind the Mixed Element Commerce stands a Void Refining Sect known as the Primordial Talisman Sect."

"This sect has long held dominion over an entire continent, governing the lives of countless beings."

"Anyone residing under the Primordial Talisman Sect's jurisdiction is granted the opportunity to pursue cultivation."

"Essentially, everyone possesses the potential to cultivate and set foot on the path of cultivation."

"Even mortals with exceptional talent hold the potential to advance to the Golden Core stage, and even harbor hopes of reaching the Nascent Soul, and subsequently, Divinity Transformation."

"Is this the meaning of 'every man a dragon'?"

Gu Tianya's eyes widened in disbelief.

He had been aware that affiliating with the Mixed Element Commerce would bring significant advantages, but he had never anticipated the magnitude of these benefits.

Should cultivators from the Eastern Continent become aware of the formidable power backing the Mixed Element Commerce, they would undoubtedly be paralyzed with terror.

Once such a colossal entity fully mobilizes, it would undoubtedly send tremors throughout the entire Void Realm.

"And the Primordial Talisman Sect is not merely a standard Void Refining Sect."

"It is rumored that their sect leader is a cultivator of extraordinary caliber."

"It is projected that they will soon transcend the Void Refining stage and advance to the Integration realm."

"At that point, the Primordial Talisman Sect will ascend to become an Integration Sect."

"Truly astonishing, this is a legendary Integration Great Power."

"Upon promotion, their lifespan will extend to thirty thousand years."

"This means, for at least thirty millennia, the Primordial Talisman Sect will remain unshakeable."

Gu Tianya was filled with immense awe.

He was aware that the Primordial Talisman Sect was established solely by that legendary sect leader.

The individual was undoubtedly an ancestor-level figure.

While other cultivators at the Void Realm were struggling with breakthroughs to Refining Void, the sect leader of the Primordial Talisman Sect was nearing Integration, a feat beyond comprehension.

It was no wonder the cultivators from Mixed Element Commerce barely glanced at the treasures he possessed; they represented a top-tier power and would not jeopardize their principles and reputation for insignificant gains.

Naturally, this was not due to the moral integrity of the Mixed Element Commerce cultivators either.

It was strictly because the sect's statutes were stringent; none dared to contravene them.

Otherwise, survival would be impossible, whether on the heavens or beneath the earth.

He had, on a past occasion, inquired about offenders who had violated the sect's regulations.

Those individuals had presumed they could conceal themselves somewhere within the Endless Sea Region to evade the Primordial Talisman Sect's pursuit.

Who could have predicted that a fishing hook would descend from the void, instantly ensnaring them?

This was an act of tracking through the threads of causality.

As long as causality remained unbroken, there was no possibility of escape.

This reality served as a profound deterrent to every cultivator within the Primordial Talisman Sect, rendering them cautious and fearful of transgressing the sect's rules.

"However, this sojourn in the Endless Sea Region is indeed a significant stroke of fortune."

"It's less of an assignment and more of a training expedition."

"Unless one is a genius, there is no qualification to be sent here."

Gu Tianya felt a surge of excitement.

The vast majority of cultivators inhabiting this island were at the Qi Cultivation Stage.

Admittedly, the island did host Divinity Transformation Cultivators for enforcement purposes.

However, in general, the populace consisted of Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators.

The reason the Primordial Talisman Sect stationed these lower-tier cultivators here was, naturally, for their development.

This was because the Endless Sea Region teemed with countless sea beasts.

These cultivators were tasked with pioneering and establishing cities on one island after another.

Once construction endeavors were successful, these islands would transform into strongholds for the Primordial Talisman Sect.

In the future, they could continuously dispatch additional cultivators to these locations.

It could be said that they were all cultivators forging a path in the Endless Sea Region.

Of course, this pioneering endeavor carried inherent dangers.

The sea beasts inhabiting the Endless Sea Region were innumerable.

No one could foretell the outcomes.

Occasionally, misfortune could strike, leading to encounters with massive sea beasts that resulted in the cessation of life.

Yet, for those possessing sufficient strength, this situation presented a monumental opportunity.

It allowed them the freedom to hunt the sea beasts within this oceanic expanse.

Cultivators could acquire a plethora of precious materials from these formidable creatures, thereby amassing considerable wealth.

They could accumulate substantial contribution points.

Even Foundation Establishment Pills could be readily obtained.

"To other cultivators, this might represent extreme peril."

"But for me, this locale is nothing short of a sanctuary."

"My ability to foresee events up to three days in advance ensures this."

"Consequently, I can calmly sidestep any impending danger."

"I can even reap immense profits from these pioneering activities."

"Furthermore, under the sect's protective umbrella, there is no concern of being targeted by other cultivators."

Gu Tianya clenched his fists, overwhelmed with elation.

His prior cultivation journey had been exceedingly arduous, fraught with peril at every turn.

A moment's lapse in vigilance might have led to his demise at the hands of adversaries, prematurely concluding his cultivation pursuit.

However, since his incorporation into the Primordial Talisman Sect, the risks had diminished considerably.

He could fully leverage the sect's resources to accelerate his cultivation through the Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and even the Nascent Soul stages.

"It appears that preparation is in order."

"I shall liquidate all the treasures I possess."

"Then, I will exchange them for a substantial quantity of talismans, magical artifacts, and potent elixirs."

"I am determined to achieve Foundation Establishment this time."

Gu Tianya was beside himself with joy.

A comparable scenario was unfolding across various branches of the Mixed Element Commerce.

Owing to the extensive global network of the Mixed Element Commerce, it had also attracted a multitude of prodigies and individuals destined for greatness.

These individuals had all been integrated into the Primordial Talisman Sect, thereby bolstering the sect's destiny and influence.
