Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1463 - 678: Land of Return, Heaven and Earth Merit_2
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
Jiang Fan rubbed his chin.
He felt that his journey through cultivation was indeed blessed as if aided by divine intervention.
This is the benefit of possessing overwhelming destiny.
With the endless support of destiny, it felt like wishes come true.
No matter how difficult the task, it could be solved effortlessly.
Swoosh!
Thinking of this, Jiang Fan opened the Gate of the Void and immediately returned to the Primordial Secret Realm in the Void Realm.
Just upon returning to the Void Realm, he sensed the intensely concentrated Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around him.
It was even more concentrated than in the Spirit Ruins Realm, more than twice as much.
This surprised him greatly.
Although he knew before that the cultivation environment of the Void Realm had recovered to the Ancient Times, he hadn’t realized how extraordinary the Void Realm was at its peak.
"Exaggerated, truly exaggerated."
"Is this the cultivation environment of the Void Realm at its peak?"
"Even a pig cultivating here could easily form a Nascent Soul, perhaps even achieve Divinity Transformation."
The Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron exclaimed with emotion.
It was born during the decline of the Void Realm, so it didn’t truly understand what the Void Realm of the Ancient Era was like.
The current scene struck it with a massive impact.
In the past, life for the cultivators in the Void Realm was so dire that even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was considered a revered ancestor.
It can be imagined how weakened the Void Realm had become.
No wonder those Magical Treasures born in the Ancient Era looked down upon the previous Void Realm.
If it had experienced such a Void Realm, it might have had the same thought.
"In fact, it has already declined greatly."
"Although the concentration of Spiritual Qi is similar, in the past, the Void Realm was filled with different Ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicines."
"It possessed countless Treasures of Heaven and Earth, numerous high-tier materials."
"But these precious materials were eradicated in the long river of history."
"In a certain sense, the current Void Realm is only a partial restoration of the Ancient Era."
The Primordial Talisman Pen remarked emotionally.
It naturally had experienced countless long years in the Ancient Era of the Void Realm.
So it knew how wealthy the Void Realm of the past was, how abundant the resources were.
The current Void Realm is nothing but an empty shell.
Just because of the Spiritual Energy Revival, the Void Realm couldn’t be fully restored to its peak.
"That’s indeed true. Although it looks the same, fundamentally it’s entirely different."
"At the very least, there’s no longer such an abundance of high-tier materials or Ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicines."
"I suppose the difficulty in advancing to a High-tier Cultivator is much greater than in the Ancient Era."
The Demon-Vibrating Bell couldn’t help but agree with this point.
For cultivators, the sheer density of Spiritual Qi is far from sufficient.
Various exotic treasures are needed to help cultivators advance to higher Realms.
If mere dense Spiritual Qi could elevate one’s cultivation, the Ancient Era’s Void Realm wouldn’t have produced so few Integration and Mahayana Cultivators.
Of course, achieving Divinity Transformation or Refining Void was relatively easier.
But if one wanted to advance to Integration or Mahayana, ordinary cultivation resources were of no help.
"And this is merely a temporary relief."
"If the calamity affecting the Void Realm isn’t completely resolved, this Spiritual Qi will sooner or later decline rapidly."
"According to my predictions, this level of Spiritual Qi might last at most a ten-thousand years."
"If the hidden enemies aren’t dealt with during that time, the decline of Spiritual Qi in the Void Realm would be even more terrifying than before."
"Becoming a Land of No Spirits is not an impossibility."
The Human Emperor Sword spoke, its tone very serious.
Upon seeing the Void Realm in its current state, it was not filled with joy, but its expression was very grave.
Because it knew this was the Void Realm’s last act of self-preservation.
The other party had unleashed a significant amount of its Origin Energy, akin to a flash of brilliance before death.
If the true calamity cannot be resolved, the Void Realm is doomed.
The entire world would also be destroyed as a result.
As an Immortal Artifact born from the Heavenly Dao of the Void Realm, it too would be annihilated.
It’s because of this that it could sense the unprecedented weakness of the Void Realm.
Massive tribulation clouds had already enveloped every corner of the Void Realm and could erupt at any moment.
Right now, it’s just the calm before the storm.
"This."
Many Magical Treasures fell silent.
"It’s alright, this matter will be resolved soon, no need to worry."
Jiang Fan said lightly.
...
Seven days later.
The Void Realm, Land of Return.
This is also the source location of the Void Realm, the ultimate place.
In normal circumstances, ordinary cultivators find no method to enter the Land of Return.
Because it’s an independent void.
But the mysteries are not ordinary cultivators.
They infiltrated the Land of Return in the Ancient Era and planted the Tree of Eternal Life here.
As the Tree of Eternal Life continued to grow, the origin of the Void Realm continued to diminish.
Sooner or later, the origin of the Void Realm would be completely devoured by the Tree of Eternal Life.
In the end, the entire Great Thousand World would turn to ashes, and the beings residing in the Void Realm would perish completely.
Thus, when the ancient cultivators of the Void Realm realized this, they began a frenzied assault on the Land of Return.
Unfortunately, they ultimately failed, unable to stop the growth of the Tree of Eternal Life.
However, even so, they weren’t entirely defeated and managed to heavily wound the mysteries and the Tree of Eternal Life, bringing the Void Realm peace for millions of years.
But continuing like this is not viable.
Because the Tree of Eternal Life constantly siphoned off the origin of the Void Realm, persisting would only lead to a slow death.
Thus, the Heavenly Dao of the Void Realm, in an effort to survive, could only fight desperately, reviving the cultivation environment of the Void Realm, hoping to nurture many powerful Children of Destiny to destroy these mysteries and the Tree of Eternal Life.
"I said there was no need to be so cautious. There’s no need to guard against enemy attacks. This is the Land of Return. Based on the current level of Void Realm cultivators, they simply can’t come here."
"Indeed, that’s true. Currently, the Heavenly Dao of the Void Realm has just lifted restrictions. Local cultivators achieving Integration is already quite impressive; how could they advance to Mahayana."
"It’s just those Mahayana Cultivators from the outside world that are feared. Who knows how many years they’ve cultivated, and they might join forces to come to the Land of Return to trouble us."
"Those Mahayana Cultivators from the outside world dare not enter the Void Realm. Each one is timid and cowardly. Besides, I’ve been monitoring the entire Void Realm and haven’t detected any threats for now."
"As of now, we’ve planted numerous spies in all major powers of the Void Realm. When the critical moment comes, these spies will act from within, enabling us to destroy any force in this world. No Sect can fully mature in this era."
"That’s right, and we have quite a few helpers. Many Upper-Tier Demons still survive. They chose not to confront the Primordial Talisman Sect head-on but hid to gradually recover their strength. Probably in some time, they could fully restore their Mahayana Realm strength. Afterward, many Mahayana Realm Demons will strike, enough to sweep through all forces in the Void Realm."
"Currently, the strongest Sect in this world is the Primordial Talisman Sect, founded by that Child of Destiny. Once this human Sect is annihilated, no power in the Void Realm can stop us."
"How long do we roughly need to fully regain our strength?"
"About a hundred years are needed, and the same goes for those Upper-Tier Demons. So let the cultivators of this world have a hundred years of freedom. Once a hundred years pass, it will be the death knell for the cultivators of this world."
"Haha, it’s truly wonderful. The ancient cultivators fought tooth and nail, wave after wave, to protect the Void Realm, but in the end, they only prolonged the time until death. This Great Thousand World will still be destroyed by us."
"Mere mortal world cultivators, always struggling on the brink of death, are absolutely no match for us."
The many mysteries discussed animatedly.
They felt that victory was already in their grasp, that any actions by the Void Realm’s cultivators were mere struggles of no consequence.
