Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 726: Chapter 372: Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil Again, Entering the Qilin Secret Realm (Part 2)

”Qilin Secret Realm, gathering of numerous demons, seemingly dangerous yet safe, hiding fortune within peril.”

”Head north to Fire Cloud Cave, where a Fourth-Grade Opportunity can be found. Although there may be storms along the way, there will be surprises but no danger, and no hidden worries to follow. Great fortune.”

”Head south to the Foggy Swamp, where a Fifth-Grade Opportunity can be obtained, but encountering lethal calamity, act with caution, dire misfortune.”

”Head east to Sunset Plains, where a Sixth-Grade Opportunity can be gained, but surrounded by countless desolate beasts, a narrow escape with life. Dire misfortune.”

”Head west to Thorny Valley, where there’s neither gain nor loss. Balance.”

Upon sensing this message, Jiang Fan stroked his chin.

According to the information from the Fortune-Telling Talisman, the place he found himself in was clearly a Secret Realm World, called the Qilin Secret Realm, which meant it was also a True Spirit Secret Realm.

”No wonder it required fifty million Spirit Stones; it turns out the teleportation leads to a True Spirit Secret Realm, huh?”

”And it’s even the Qilin Secret Realm.”

”It seems this place is not ordinary either.”

Jiang Fan squinted his eyes.

He also obtained a lot of information about True Spirits from the Primordial Talisman Pen.

Although there were many True Spirits during the Ancient Era in the Void Realm, there were indeed differences among the True Spirits.

For instance, True Dragon, Qilin, Kunpeng, Phoenix, etc., are the top-tier True Spirits.

Some True Spirits are in the middle, or even lower levels.

The disparity in power between them is like night and day.

Undoubtedly, if this is indeed a Secret Realm World where a Qilin once dwelled, the opportunities it contains are most likely extraordinary.

”In that case, fifty million Spirit Stones is indeed worth it.”

”As long as a spatial coordinate is left here, the Qilin Secret Realm can be freely entered and exited.”

”Won’t all the treasures here essentially be mine by then?”

”But from the Fortune-Telling Talisman’s information, it’s clear that this Secret Realm World is fraught with danger.”

”Gaining opportunities here isn’t such an easy task.”

Jiang Fan stroked his chin.

Undoubtedly, the Fortune-Telling Talisman gave him four choices, corresponding to the four cardinal directions.

Two of these directions carry ominous signs of dire misfortune.

Only one direction is considered great fortune.

The remaining direction indicates neither gain nor loss.

Thus, it’s clear how perilous the Qilin Secret Realm is. Choosing the wrong direction could lead to a Death Tribulation.

It’s worth noting he is already a Third-Layer Nascent Soul Cultivator, with extremely formidable combat strength, yet the Qilin Secret Realm still holds many calamities that could kill him, illustrating the dangers here.

If ordinary cultivators entered the Qilin Secret Realm, it’s unknown how many would perish.

”But being able to obtain a Fourth-Grade Opportunity is still good.”

”Let me first go and check out Fire Cloud Cave.”

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan didn’t hesitate at all.

Ultimately, only the direction of the Fire Cloud Cave is devoid of danger. It seems like there are four choices, but there really is only one choice.

He essentially has no choice.

Whoosh!

Jiang Fan’s figure flickered, utilizing his Bloodline Divine Technique, Cloud Riding, wrapping his whole being in mist, instantly flying north at an astonishing speed.

......

Meanwhile, in the Qilin Secret Realm, somewhere.

Five Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Ice Soul Race appeared.

They look roughly human, yet are not human.

They have white twin horns on their heads, resembling those of bulls.

An aura of chill surrounds them, resembling ice and snow spirits from an extreme cold place.

A hint of intricate ice patterns faintly appears in their eyes, fluctuating with emotions, seemingly containing endless power. Just a glance can chill one’s heart.

It can be said they are naturally attuned to the Ice Soul Power.

Where high-tier Ice Soul Race cultivators pass, the ground freezes, rivers turn solid, and all falls into deathly silence.

At the same time, the Ice Soul Race’s cultivation techniques emphasize honing their bodies, making them capable of withstanding the extreme cold power. Their physical resilience far exceeds that of cultivators of the same level, and even when injured in battle, their wounds freeze quickly, stopping bleeding and slowing the progression of injury.

This is why the Ice Soul Race is renowned alongside races like the Celestial Roc Race, Jiao Dragon Race, and Immortal Fox Race, among the Tier Five Races.

”Indeed, the Qilin Secret Realm holds awesomely powerful desolate beasts.”

”Moreover, some beasts harbor Qilin Fire, which is highly suppressive to our Ice Soul Race cultivators.”

”Every time we enter the Qilin Secret Realm for treasure, our Ice Soul Race suffers significant casualties.”

One Ice Soul Race Nascent Soul Cultivator lamented.

”Though we lose many tribe members, this place indeed contains countless treasures.”

”Despite entering the Qilin Secret Realm for thousands of years, we have only uncovered a fraction of its mysteries.”

”The True Spirit Secret Realm lives up to its name.”

Another Ice Soul Race Nascent Soul Cultivator said gravely.

”If only this were an ancient Human Race Sect’s Secret Realm, we could use those humans as expendable tools to explore various dangers.”

”In the past, those humans contributed a lot to our Ice Soul Race.”

”Without their efforts testing many dangerous places, our Ice Soul Race’s casualties would likely be even higher.”

The third Ice Soul Race Nascent Soul Cultivator’s eyes shone with a vicious light.

They regarded humans as the Ice Soul Race’s slaves, resources specifically for probing the various dangers of the Secret Realm World.

”Sadly, those humans are too weak. If only they were slightly stronger, they might help us explore more areas. However, within the tribe, we are prohibited from teaching them cultivation methods.”

”Foolish, never underestimate humans. Though they seem weak now, their potential is limitless. One slip, and it might spell disaster from the Human Race.”

”Indeed, do you not remember Daoist Xuan Cheng? We were caught off guard, and he obtained an inheritance from an ancient Human Sect’s Secret Realm, cultivated all the way to become a human Divinity Transformation, causing immense harm to the various races of the Western Continent, and leading to heavy casualties for us.

Just a single human genius is this terrifying, so if four or five such human geniuses appear, wouldn’t that be our doom?”

”Yes, most humans aren’t worth mentioning, but the most fearsome aspect of the Human Race is its occassional birth of peerless geniuses. These geniuses progress at an unnatural rate; sometimes, within a few hundred years, they reach Divinity Transformation, surpassing the speed of our Demon Race’s cultivation by far. Hence, the Human Race must be stifled, never given a chance to cultivate, or it would be a disaster for our Demon Race.”

”That is indeed the case. No need for many such human geniuses; four or five are enough for trouble. We, of the Demon Race, rely on powerful bloodlines and strong physiques, possessing formidable battle strength from the start.

Yet, precisely because of this, we are restrained from ascending to higher realms. For us, achieving Tier Three or Four isn’t much, but achieving Tier Five is nearly impossible.”

”In the Cultivation Realm, true dominance still rests with Tier Five existences. No matter the number of Tier Four cultivators, they are of little consequence; only Tier Five cultivators can control everything.”

”If it weren’t for the ancient Human Race Secret Realms on the Western Continent, needing those humans as helpers, we would’ve wiped out all humans long ago. Allowing such a threat to continue existing is far too dangerous.”

”No matter, without cultivation methods, these humans won’t stir up any trouble.”

Many Ice Soul Race Nascent Soul Cultivators discussed fervently.

They looked down on humans but were also wary of them.

Especially when they’ve ventured into many ancient Human Secret Realms, understanding the formidable strength of human civilization in ancient times, endless glory enough to make them tremble.

Furthermore, they are aware that beyond the Western Continent, other continents exist in this Cultivation Realm.

And the human forces on those other continents remain strong, no less formidable than their Ice Soul Race.

Thankfully, those other continents are exceedingly far from the Western Continent.

Even a Divinity Transformation cultivator wouldn’t know how long it would take to traverse two continents.

Therefore, they are not concerned about attacks from other continent cultivators on the Western Continent.

Because of this, their apprehension toward the Human Race grows.

Consequently, they refuse to allow the Human Race of the Western Continent to rise.

This is the territory of their Demon Race; the Human Race mustn’t encroach on this place.
