Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 992 - 483: Guan Tianqi’s Path of Cultivation, Surrounded by Friends Everywhere

Simultaneously, in a dense forest area of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Swoosh!

A silhouette plunged from a Void Gate, slamming hard onto the soil and stirring up a puff of dust.

This individual was none other than Guan Tianqi.

For a Nascent Soul Cultivator, an impact like that amounted to nothing.

He rapidly stirred from his daze.

"Where exactly is this spot?"

"Unbelievable, is this actually happening? This area feels so mild?"

"The sun up there gives off real warmth? The rays don’t turn folks to ice? The breeze carries no frost?"

"Just where did that senior transport me?"

Guan Tianqi gradually came to his senses.

He gazed at the vibrant greenery encircling him, his mind rippling with intense surprise.

Having originated from the Ice Prison, his world had always been one of dull grays and whites.

A domain stripped bare of any spark of life.

Yet here he was, thrust into a realm overflowing with boundless vitality.

Like stepping out of infernal depths into a mortal heaven.

Were it not for his repeated checks, he’d swear it was some deceptive spell.

For the vista unfolding was utterly strange, stretching far past his wildest notions.

"Cause and Effect Communication Immortal Talisman? Ten Thousand Treasures Token?"

"Did that elusive senior grant me these artifacts?"

Guan Tianqi drew in a steadying breath, swiftly refining the pair of items, and soon he uncovered the Hunyuan Alliance forum, brimming with peers from distant lands.

Boom~~

Hours afterward, Guan Tianqi had pieced together the essence of these tools, thanks to abundant novice threads on the Hunyuan Alliance forum that swiftly outlined the ongoing reality.

His thoughts churned with massive turmoil; such revelations rocked his entire perspective to the core.

"I get it now, the Ice Prison I knew is merely a Secret Realm inside Spirit Ruins?"

"Truth is, I’m situated in the Spirit Ruins Realm, with the Ice Prison being just a tiny corner."

"However, the Ice Prison, as a Secret Realm of Spirit Ruins, stands out uniquely; you can slip in but never slip out, a genuine trap."

"Through the ages, innumerable folks got stuck there."

"Still, if that’s true, how did the puzzle of a senior Talisman Daoist navigate in and out so freely?"

Guan Tianqi felt profound awe.

He came to view this senior as ever more enigmatic, far surpassing a typical Void Refining Cultivator.

He might well be an Integration Cultivator, or even one at Mahayana.

After all, with hordes of Integration Cultivators locked in the Ice Prison, escape impossible, this senior exited without issue.

If not a Mahayana Cultivator, then what else?

Nevertheless, being only a Nascent Soul, he remained leagues behind such lofty experts.

Brooding over it endlessly yielded little gain.

"The Hunyuan Alliance unites those possessing Life Charts."

"None but cultivators who’ve roused their Life Chart can gain entry to the Hunyuan Alliance."

"My roused Life Chart is Immortal Destiny, repaying good deeds in kind."

"Ah, so that explains why the senior pulled me from peril?"

"He spotted the promise in me and chose to lend a hand."

Guan Tianqi scanned numerous forum entries, sharpening his grasp on the shifts stirring inside him.

He had never fathomed that something as wondrous as a Life Chart could truly exist.

At once, a deep calm washed over him, convinced the enigmatic senior held designs on him that likely weren’t hostile, but rather saw untapped worth.

For him, this turned out to be a boon.

Had he lacked any merit, his end would probably have come swiftly from those demon cultivators.

Instead, the mysterious senior stepped in to rescue him.

"My Life Chart’s gift is rather straightforward; whenever I return a favor, suitable boons come my way."

"The deeper the favor, the thicker the karmic bond, the greater the rewards once settled."

"Little wonder my cultivation surges whenever I aid someone."

"All thanks to this one-of-a-kind Life Chart, huh?"

A spark of insight hit Guan Tianqi.

Truth be told, he’d long noticed oddities about himself; his innate talent ranked as mediocre at best.

Yet in practice, his advancement outstripped that of many; while comrades stalled at Golden Core, he smoothly reached Nascent Soul.

From time to time, his fortune would mysteriously brighten, delivering unexpected windfalls.

These hidden strengths let him turn the tables on countless Noble Descendants.

Without them, a mere Loose Cultivator such as he would have been slain in a flash by those highborn foes.

"The Great Xuan Dynasty, that’s my current location."

"A sprawling human realm claiming enormous swaths of land."

"The catch lies in its ironclad rules; most everyone carries official records."

"As an interloper like myself, slipping into a city could face heavy barriers."

Guan Tianqi grew concerned, aware that without valid papers, merging into Great Xuan Dynasty life would prove tough.

Failing to embed there, pushing his cultivation to greater heights would border on impossible.

This formed his very first obstacle in the Great Xuan Dynasty.

"Oh, wait, the Hunyuan Alliance exists for this."

"With all members being fellow cultivators, turning to them for aid should work just fine."
