Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1228 - 565: Shi Ping’an’s Century-Long Growth and the Child of Fortune’s Opportunity

"Unearthed a Teleportation Array leading to the Demon Clan territory?"

This revelation left numerous Elders quite stunned, struggling to accept its veracity.

Yet, an overwhelming sense of elation soon washed over them.

For Green Willow Village, this was undeniably monumental and joyous news.

Ever since they became aware of the existence of Human Race and Demon Race zones beyond their current location, a fervent desire to find a path to these safer territories had taken root, though such a feat was exceptionally challenging.

Considering Green Willow Village's placement within the Demon Realm, any departure would necessitate traversing tens of thousands of miles through uncharted lands.

This perilous journey would expose them to innumerable demons and monstrous beasts.

A single miscalculation could result in an encounter with a High-tier Demon, inevitably leading to utter annihilation.

Consequently, they were compelled to remain confined within the Cyan Stone Mountain Range, too apprehensive to venture forth.

But now, the discovery of an Ancient Teleportation Array was nothing short of miraculous.

Once the destination of the Demon Clan area was known, they could deploy Heaven-Reaching Bridge Charms, thereby establishing a connection between the Demon Clan territory and the Cyan Stone Mountain region.

Should misfortune strike and they were confronted by a High-tier Demon, the entire Green Willow Village could relocate.

Without question, this presented a vital escape route for Green Willow Village.

This was truly unprecedented and magnificent tidings for them.

"This intelligence is entirely accurate."

"Ping’an conveyed this astonishing information to me via a Communication Talisman."

"However, it's crucial to note that this is a single-use Teleportation Array; it will dissipate after one activation."

"But our circumstances are still manageable, as Ping’an is carrying a Heaven-Reaching Bridge Charm."

"By utilizing this Spirit Talisman, they possess the means to teleport back to Green Willow Village."

"Therefore, at this juncture, our focus must be on anticipating further news from Ping’an."

"My fervent hope is that the discovered location proves conducive to human habitation."

The village chief, Shi Hao, affectionately stroked his salt-and-pepper beard, articulating these sentiments with considerable delight.

He had never envisioned his grandson stumbling upon such a remarkable opportunity.

In truth, his grandson's fortune over the past century had been consistently noteworthy.

Even when venturing near the periphery of the Cyan Stone Mountain Range, he frequently unearthed immense treasures.

Whether it was discovering storage bags belonging to Ancient Cultivators or unearthing legacies they had left behind.

Indeed, his grandson possessed an extraordinary destiny intertwined with abundant fortune.

"The Demon Clan area? It might not necessarily be an advantageous place."

"Precisely, as the esteemed gentleman pointed out, although there are infrequent instances of collaboration between the Human and Demon Races due to overarching demonic threats, the Demon Race generally harbors deep-seated animosity towards humankind. They are unlikely to welcome humans setting foot on their lands."

"That sentiment holds considerable weight. If we consider the reciprocal situation, should a Demon Race Cultivator intrude upon our Green Willow Village, we would naturally feel displeased. Who desires a foreign race encroaching upon their territory?"

"Even if that is the case, the Demon Clan's domain is vast. We merely require a small parcel of land, sufficient for cultivating Spirit Medicine and Spirit Rice, ensuring enough sustenance for our populace, at the very least, achieving self-sufficiency."

"Indeed, we could also seek refuge within the Demon Clan area. As long as we evade detection by Demon Race Cultivators, wouldn't that suffice? We have managed to remain concealed within the Demon Realm; evading notice in the Demon Clan area should be feasible."

"Moreover, even if Ping’an ascertains the coordinates of a Human Race area, it might not be entirely advantageous. The Great Xuan Dynasty is purportedly known for its stringent population controls, requiring exhaustive vetting of all outsiders to preempt any demon infiltration. If we were to return to the Great Xuan Dynasty, could we realistically anticipate receiving benevolent treatment?"

"Assuredly, and with the Great Xuan Dynasty also facing incursions from demons, virtually every able-bodied individual is conscripted. Upon our return, we might be thrust into combat as expendable cannon fodder."

"They might even seize the accumulated wealth of Green Willow Village."

The esteemed Elders of Green Willow Village engaged in a spirited and impassioned debate.

Initially, their understanding of the Spirit Ruins Realm was rather limited. However, through the intelligence meticulously gathered by Shi Ping’an over a century via the Mixed Element Forum, they have become notably well-informed about the fundamental aspects of the Spirit Ruins Realm.

Shi Ping’an had diligently shared this acquired knowledge with his fellow Elders.

Consequently, they now possess a comprehensive awareness of the unfolding events within the Spirit Ruins Realm.

Although Green Willow Village appears precariously situated within the heart of the Demon Realm, residing in alternative locations presents equally grave perils.

Despite these concerning realities, they remain intent on securing a viable fallback strategy for Green Willow Village.

After all, their continued presence within the Cyan Stone Mountain Range offers no semblance of true security.

Should they inadvertently draw the attention of a High-tier Demon, any possibility of escape would be irrevocably extinguished.

"Therefore, the imperative task before us is to identify viable escape avenues."

"At this present moment, our sole reliance rests upon Ping’an."
