Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 785: Chapter 399: Destiny’s Hint, Awakening the Ancient Wood Dragon

”Is this the Wood Dragon Secret Realm?”

After entering the Wood Dragon Secret Realm, Jiang Fan spread his spiritual sense in all directions to observe his surroundings.

Undoubtedly, this Secret Realm World has already been invaded by countless demons and Demonic Qi.

The lead-gray clouds, like boiling tar, surged and condensed into grotesque ghostly faces above the sky.

The originally clear Mirror Lake had turned into a bubbling toxic swamp, with viscous inky liquid bubbling, corroding the floating driftwood into white bone.

The branches of century-old trees were twisted into claw-like shapes, with foul-smelling black blood seeping from their bark, while the roots coiled into serpent-like forms, creating a rustling sound as they slithered beneath the ground.

An endless stream of demons formed a torrent, pouring out towards the Gate of Space, accompanied by a foul-smelling wind carried by the corruption-green miasma.

Demon wolves covered in bone spikes stood upright, their scarlet vertical pupils reflecting the shattered moonlight; giant bats with broken bone wings darkened the sky, their shrill cries piercing the eardrums; skeleton soldiers wielding rusty flails lined up neatly, their decayed joints clashing with a teeth-gritting crunch.

Further away, a giant golem wrapped in chains stomped forward, each step leaving scorched footprints and pits on the cracked earth.

It’s conceivable that if this demonic disaster is not stopped, countless demons will escape from here and ravage the entire Black Dragon Sea Region, leading to the death of innumerable living beings.

”There really is a concealed Tier Five Demon?!”

In an instant, Jiang Fan’s pupils contracted as he sensed, at the depths of the demon torrent, a terrifying demon concealed, undoubtedly having reached the Divinity Transformation Level.

However, the demon didn’t leave the Wood Dragon Secret Realm, but hid quietly, observing the battle.

It was like a skilled hunter waiting for the perfect kill opportunity.

Undoubtedly, if he joins the battle against the demon tide now, he might initially manage to slay many demons, but if the Tier Five Demon personally intervenes, he will surely perish.

Fortunately, through the power of destiny hints, he realized this.

”Forget it, ignore these demons, head to the palace in the deepest part of the Wood Dragon Secret Realm first.”

Jiang Fan took a deep breath.

He immediately flew towards the deepest part of the Wood Dragon Secret Realm.

Thanks to the power of the Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaf, no demon noticed his presence.

Not even the Tier Five Demon.

They had no idea that a human cultivator had slipped right under their noses and infiltrated the Wood Dragon Secret Realm.

Moreover, they hadn’t sensed him at all, as if they automatically forgot about his existence.

......

A day later.

Jiang Fan had no idea how many kilometers he had flown; he finally saw a vast palace standing upon the plains, occupying an untold number of square kilometers.

No, it was not just a palace, but a complex of palaces.

In its heyday, who knows how many living beings dwelled here.

But after countless years, coupled with the calamity of the Ancient Era, the palace became a ruin of remnants and fragments.

Now it’s completely overgrown, resembling a wasteland.

Boom~~

A stream of information once again submerged deep into his sea of awareness.

”You’ve finally entered the Wood Dragon Secret Realm, after a day’s journey reached the former Wood Dragon Palace, yet you know nothing about the Wood Dragon Secret Realm.

Though the existence of the remnant soul of the Wood Dragon is unknown to outsiders, the demons have long been aware of it. They also know if the remnant soul of the Wood Dragon awakens, it spells their doom.

Thus, they have already laid heavy ambushes in the palace, ready to attack anyone daring to storm into the Wood Dragon Palace.”

”Fortunately, destiny will offer you hints.”

”Destiny Hint One: You charge directly into the Wood Dragon Palace and fight many demons. Luckily, your power is formidable, and these demons are no match for you. After a fierce battle, you finally defeat these demons.

But what you don’t realize is that the demons guarding here aren’t the genuine threat; once you are dragged into prolonged combat, it will alert those departing Tier Five Demons.

Then you will face countless demons and formidable Tier Five Demons and be encircled. Although thanks to the power of the Gate of the Void, you won’t be in mortal danger and can escape timely.

But once these Tier Five Demons are alerted, you won’t have a chance to revive the remnant soul of the Wood Dragon, and the demonic disaster affecting the entire Black Dragon Sea Region will be unavoidable, compromising your mission’s success.”

”Destiny Hint Two: Fortunately, you possess many treasures, providing you with a second option: to employ the power of the Demon-Vibrating Bell, fully activating it to instantly annihilate all demons ambushing in the palace. This way, these demons temporarily cannot relay information to the Tier Five Demons.

However, even if so, you absolutely mustn’t waste any time, as this alone can’t delay for long. You should immediately enter the depths of the palace, locate the Wooden Dragon Tree, awaken the remnant soul of the Wood Dragon, then eliminate all demons.

You might find it strange why demons don’t annihilate it—it’s because the Wood Dragon is immortal; even destroying the Wooden Dragon Tree countless times it will regenerate repeatedly, this is its unique Innate Divine Technique.”

Upon sensing this information, Jiang Fan’s pupils contracted.
