Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1209 - 855: Opportunity from the Immortal, the Immortal Weapon Phoenix Cry Halberd’s Reminder (2)

Not to mention, the cultivators who go to various mines to extract rare ores can secretly pilfer large quantities with the assistance of the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall’s influence, making it impossible for other forces to detect.

Many people at the Life Chart Cultivator stage have reaped immense profits through clandestine mining operations.

Concurrently, they face no risk of being pursued by the Great Xuan Dynasty.

After all, with a mere thought, the stolen goods can be whisked away to distant locations.

The local cultivators would never suspect that their purloined treasures have already been transported far beyond their reach.

Even if some high-tier cultivators manage to affix tracking markers to the ore, these markers are instantly purified and rendered untraceable the moment they enter the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall.

Consequently, any investigation would yield no clues whatsoever.

It is evident that every Life Chart Cultivator amasses extraordinary wealth, far surpassing that of cultivators of equivalent tiers.

For instance, the current riches possessed by Ye Linglong exceed even those of typical Void Refining Cultivators.

One can only imagine the immense fortune she has accumulated recently.

"However, the Great Xuan Dynasty's current situation is also incredibly dire."

"The demonic onslaught grows increasingly ferocious."

"Especially the Demon Caves, which have already encroached upon significant portions of human territory."

"If this trend persists, it is uncertain how much more human territory will be consumed by the demons."

Jiang Mo expressed his worries.

Had he remained a Low-Tier Cultivator, such concerns would not plague him.

But as his cultivation level has steadily ascended, and he has acquired more comprehensive information,

he has come to realize the precarious state of the human race.

This is due to the terrifying power wielded by the demons, which exerts immense pressure on both the human and demon races.

Their Demon Caves corrupt all they touch, presenting a stratagem that seems utterly insurmountable.

Once their Demon Caves establish a foothold in a region, their eradication becomes virtually impossible.

With the passage of time, the proliferation of these Demon Caves intensifies.

At that point, the entire Spirit Ruins Realm could potentially transform into a Demon Realm.

Indeed, many years prior, the human race already forfeited vast tracts of territory, which are now integral to the Demon Realm.

If this calamitous progression continues, humanity may find itself with no place to stand within the Spirit Ruins Realm.

It is conceivable that the entirety of the Spirit Ruins Realm might ultimately be claimed by the Demon Realm.

"Indeed, an alarming number of cities have been devastated by demons during this period."

"Thousands of humans have perished by the demons' hands."

"The casualties are beyond quantifiable description."

"Were it not for our residence within the imperial capital, we likely would not have escaped the demonic calamity either."

Xiao Duan lamented.

Existence within the imperial capital, the paramount stronghold of the human race, naturally offers a substantial degree of security.

Should the imperial capital fall, then no sanctuary would remain within the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Even so, they remain acutely aware of the unfolding events in other regions of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Fortunately, owing to the connections of the Mixed Element Alliance, they have access to all manner of intelligence concerning the various territories inhabited by humans.

Even if information is intentionally suppressed, it can still be disseminated through forums.

It is precisely through these channels that they comprehend the severity of the human race's predicament.

It is no wonder that the Great Xuan Dynasty has intensified its training programs for low-tier cultivators recently.

The substantial losses incurred have resulted in a significant deficit of personnel.

"Worrying about these matters is ultimately futile."

"Our cultivation levels are too meager to meaningfully impact the world's overall situation."

"Our immediate priority must be to elevate our cultivation."

"At the very least, reaching the Integration Realm is necessary to possess some measure of influence."

Ye Linglong stated calmly.

While she is naturally concerned about the Great Xuan Dynasty's plight, she also recognizes the futility of fretting over it.

A mere Nascent Soul Cultivator possesses no capacity to alter fundamental circumstances.

Perhaps only a powerful figure like the Talisman Daoist could truly sway the world's destiny.

Until they achieve full maturity, their sole focus should be on diligent cultivation and advancing their power.

When disaster strikes, the strongest individuals are the first to face it.

"You speak the truth, Sister Linglong."

Everyone present could not help but concur.

"However, even so, our current pace of cultivation remains excessively slow."

"If things continue as they are, I fear we may never break through our current cultivation bottlenecks."

Ye Linglong clenched her fists.

"It seems you have already decided to enter the Spirit Ruins of Jinfeng?"

At this juncture, the divine consciousness of the Immortal Weapon Phoenix Cry Halberd residing within her body transmitted, sensing the subtle shifts in Ye Linglong's resolve.

"Phoenix Cry Halberd, is there truly a grand opportunity within this Spirit Ruins?" Ye Linglong inquired.

"Indeed, you must comprehend that the numerous Secret Realms appearing within the Spirit Ruins Realm are actually remnants that descended from the Immortal Realm," the halberd responded.

"Many of these Secret Realms originate from the Immortal Caves of venerated immortals."

"Furthermore, these Immortal Caves sometimes descend not due to conflict, but by deliberate design."

"This is a contingency plan meticulously prepared by immortals, hence their decision to place their Cave Mansions within the Mortal World."

The immortal weapon, Phoenix Cry Halberd, divulged this secret concerning the Spirit Ruins, a piece of knowledge not widely held within the Spirit Ruins Realm, as these were matters pertaining to the Immortal Realm.

Such insights would be inaccessible to those not connected to the Immortal Realm.

"A contingency plan left by immortals? Could it be that they possess the potential for resurrection?" Ye Linglong questioned with curiosity.

"The more potent an immortal, the more arduous their demise becomes," Phoenix Cry Halberd explained.

"Therefore, they do retain the possibility of reincarnation and rebirth; some reincarnated immortals emerge through such means."

"However, their adversaries are equally formidable and will not permit them the chance to be reborn."

"Consequently, precious few immortals truly achieve the opportunity for reincarnation and rebirth."

"This particular Spirit Ruins of Jinfeng originates from the Cave Mansion left behind by an Innate Divine Beast, the Jinfeng."

"Within it lies immense wealth and a plethora of cultivation resources thoughtfully preserved by it."

"Should ordinary cultivators attempt entry, they would inevitably be reduced to ashes by the potent Phoenix Fire."

"But with my assistance, you can undoubtedly access the Cave Mansion and claim the opportunities concealed within," the Phoenix Cry Halberd declared with a sense of pride.

It was not merely an Immortal Artifact; it possessed intimate knowledge of many secrets and opportunities prevalent in the Spirit Ruins Realm.

The Spirit Ruins of Jinfeng represented one such paramount opportunity.

Provided one could successfully procure the treasures housed within, Ye Linglong was destined for unparalleled ascension.

The yields from mundane commercial ventures paled in comparison to the prospect of instantaneous enrichment.

The accumulated wealth of an immortal far surpassed anything amassed by cultivators in the Mortal World.

A single casually produced treasure from such a source would ignite the covetous desires of innumerable high-ranking cultivators.

"But one must still overcome the trials within to obtain these treasures, correct?" Ye Linglong stated with a grave expression.

"Precisely. Even with my aid, securing the treasures within is no simple undertaking."

"This is due to the Jinfeng having established several trials within its Cave Mansion."

"Failure to surmount these trials results in demise within the Cave Mansion."

"Only through successful completion can one receive the Jinfeng's inheritance and the abundant cultivation resources contained therein."

"Were this not the case, I would have guided you there much earlier, rather than waiting for you to reach the Nascent Soul Level before embarking on this journey," the Phoenix Cry Halberd elucidated.

It was precisely for this reason that Ye Linglong had deliberately suppressed her cultivation, refraining from hastily advancing to Divinity Transformation and remaining at the Nascent Soul stage to sharpen her combat prowess.

Only then would she possess a credible chance of navigating the trials meticulously arranged by the immortal.

"I trust you are aware of the current state of affairs within the Great Xuan Dynasty."

"It teeters perilously on the edge of utter ruin."

"If this trajectory persists, the human territories will be entirely subjugated and transformed into the Demon Realm."

"Yet, these so-called demons are merely superficial adversaries."

"The true threat has yet to reveal its full might."

"Once they make their move, the Great Xuan Dynasty will crumble in an instant."

"Thus, your time is exceedingly limited," the Phoenix Cry Halberd cautioned sternly, its senses detecting an ever-increasing miasma of dark clouds and demonic aura hanging heavy over the Great Xuan Dynasty.

The looming enemy likely offered Ye Linglong little additional time for cultivation.

"I understand. After a day of rest, I shall proceed to the Spirit Ruins of Jinfeng." Ye Linglong wasted no further words; her decision had long been sealed.

Indecision was never her forte.

It was merely an immortal's trial; it could not impede her, nor did she believe such a trial possessed the power to end her life.

The opportunities within this Spirit Ruins would undeniably become hers.
