Jiang Fan returns to his residence using the Gate of the Void. He then absorbs the Five Elements Primal Essence Pearl Marrow, which causes his Destiny Dao Seed to expand and refine the chaotic space within. This process allows Jiang Fan to advance from the Middle Stage to the Late Stage of True Immortal, significantly increasing his power and the capacity of his internal world.

"In the previous Immortal Realm, spending some time was entirely not an issue."

"But now, time is life, time is efficiency."

"The faster the cultivation improves, the safer it becomes."

"However, not every Immortal has the luck to obtain rare treasures from the Immortal Realm."

"Even though the resources of the Immortal Realm have become much more barren than before, it’s still incomparable to the Mortal World."

"Any ordinary rare treasure is beyond what Mortal Cultivators can even imagine—it’s a world-class treasure."

Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered.

He now understood why so many Immortals, knowing full well that a ruined city like Anren City is extremely dangerous—going inside is a nine-death one-life scenario—still choose to enter, solely because the treasures within are too enticing.

This is the epitome of the saying: ’Humans die for wealth, birds die for food.’

Even Immortals cannot escape the greed inherent in human nature.

"Next, just expand the internal space of the Destiny Dao Seed to the limit."

"Then it will transform into a Pocket World."

"At that point, one can naturally ascend to an Earth Immortal."

Jiang Fan stroked his chin.

He felt he was not far from ascending to an Earth Immortal.

Of course, it’s impossible for ordinary True Immortals to ascend so quickly.

A typical True Immortal merely mastering forty-nine Heaven and Earth Laws requires an immense amount of time.

If one’s comprehension is insufficient, they might stagnate after mastering just a dozen Laws.

Thus, no matter how many cultivation resources are obtained, it would be to no avail.

After several days.

Originally, Jiang Fan was consolidating his cultivation and continually improving his Dao skills, but he quickly found his Linwu Order erupting with news.

In a sense, the Linwu Order is like a communication device.

Moreover, it can not only allow one-on-one communication but also group chats.

Because of this, many True Immortals living in the black fog have created a group using the Linwu Order.

Quite a few True Immortals would send messages in this group.

This serves as a way for sharing and gathering information.

After all, in this way, it greatly increases the survival rate of True Immortals.

"Oh no, something terrible has happened."

"Do you remember the three Earth Immortals from the Ouyang family?"

"They are Ouyang Chen, Ouyang Tao, and Ouyang Yan."

"They came here earlier and forcibly recruited a lot of True Immortals to leave, wanting to explore Anren City."

"Originally, these guys were full of confidence, seemingly wanting to make a big profit in the ruined city."

"Unexpectedly, it was nothing but a trap."

"It was news deliberately released by the Cursed Race, and the Ouyang family fell for it."

"This time the Immortals who entered Anren City were basically all killed by the Cursed Race, none were spared."

A True Immortal quickly shared what he knew.

He was greatly amused.

Because those Earth Immortals from the Ouyang family were simply too arrogant, as if they held no regard for anyone.

They treated these True Immortals as cannon fodder.

Luckily, he also had a large family backing him, so he could ignore their recruitment.

Otherwise, he too would have become the Ouyang family’s cannon fodder.

Who would have thought such arrogant Earth Immortals could be killed so swiftly?

"Impossible, is this true or false?"

"Right, those were three Earth Immortals and over a hundred True Immortals; how could none of them make it back?"

"Those are Earth Immortals—how incredibly powerful, how could they be slain like that?"

Numerous True Immortals exploded in disbelief.

Because Linwu City hadn’t had an Earth Immortal fall for a long time.

As the backbone of Linwu City, Earth Immortals not only possess great strength but also have powerful survival abilities.

Even when encountering great calamities, they can retreat calmly.

But now, three Earth Immortals have suddenly fallen; it’s truly beyond imagination.

They couldn’t believe this was true.

"Of course it’s true; I have someone supporting me."

"This news has already exploded throughout Linwu City due to the extinguishing of many Ouyang family Immortal soul lamps."

"This cannot be a fabrication."

"And for Linwu City, losing three Earth Immortals at once is a huge loss."

"So how could it be false news?"

"Honestly, the real issue is why the Cursed Race has come here. The top levels suspect the Immortal Race plan to target Linwu City; if this news is true, then Linwu City is in trouble."

This True Immortal’s expression was very serious.

Though losing three Earth Immortals is a great loss.

But they were more concerned about the true intentions behind the Immortal Race.

If the Immortal Race really plans to attack Linwu City, then Linwu City faces a mortal crisis.

Following the fate of Anren City would be quite normal.

"Impossible, is the Immortal Race coming to kill us? This can’t be true."

"Right, Linwu City has nothing, why would the Immortal Race target us?"

"Hehe, does this need a reason? Our Immortal Realm’s myriad races and the Immortal Race are inherently mortal enemies; they act without needing any reason."

"Indeed, this is the case. Moreover, the ones acting this time are the Cursed Race, merely one of the Ten Longevity Races, not the Ten Races jointly, which is a stroke of luck within misfortune."

"Then what do we do now? If armies really besiege us, we village leaders would be the first to die. Perhaps we should retreat early; maybe we could survive."

"Foolish, the Immortal Realm is only so big, and places fit for us to live are already occupied by major forces. Where could we escape to?"

"You’re right, if we flee to other forces’ territories, we won’t end well, surely captured and executed; they are merciless toward deserters."

"Those fools from the Ouyang family, how could they have fallen for the Cursed Race’s trap?"

The True Immortals discussed one after another.

They suddenly felt anxious and flustered, feeling as if a great disaster loomed.

But as village leaders, they simply had no authority to leave.

Once they leave, it’s considered dereliction of duty, punishable by death.

Only by ascending to Earth Immortal can they have a chance to leave; otherwise, they’re trapped.

"The Cursed Race?"

"Those Earth Immortals died?"

"No wonder I sensed danger from that ruined city."

"Luckily, I didn’t recklessly enter, else I might have been caught up in it."

Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered.

He stared at the messages on the Linwu Order, recalling the aura he perceived in the ruined city and the Cursed Race True Immortal he killed, perhaps that guy was just cannon fodder.

The true powerhouses of the Cursed Race are hidden within Anren City.

"But why have those Cursed Race Immortals come here?"

"Could it be that the ruined city contains treasures attracting even the Cursed Race Immortals?"

Jiang Fan’s heart was stirred, unable to resist thinking.

Although Anren City was indeed destroyed by the Immortal Race giants, its appearance by an Immortal Fiend made it a deadly realm.

For the ordinary Immortals of the Immortal Race, that place is extraordinarily dangerous.

A slight carelessness could get them killed by Immortal Fiends.

After all, Immortal Fiends are monsters hard to kill, indifferent to friendly or foe.

They wouldn’t care who is from the Immortal Race or who is an ordinary Immortal.

Once one steps into their territory, they become the enemy and face inevitable siege.

If this weren’t the case, the treasures within the ruined city would have long been taken by the Immortals of the Immortal Race, leaving nothing behind.

"There is currently no instruction from fate signals."

"It seems there’s no immediate life threat right now."

"I suspect the Immortal Race isn’t deliberately targeting Linwu City, no intention of attacking."

"For now, it’s best to continue cultivation here; at least reach Earth Immortal level to have the qualification to go elsewhere."

"Just having True Immortal Cultivation is far from enough; it still leaves one as mere cannon fodder."

Jiang Fan clenched his fists.

Unlike other True Immortals’ panic, his power from fate signals naturally allows him to know when disaster will erupt. Since there’s no signal of impending disaster, it won’t happen now.

Thus, there’s no need for worry; he can safely remain here for cultivation.
