Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 823: Chapter 417: The Origin of the Ancient Catastrophe, Tree of Eternal Life

”Destiny Tip Two: As the saying goes, a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall. You already know about the Black Blood Curse, and the ancient Daoist Yuanqing has significant problems. So why not make a swift escape?

You can completely open the Gate of the Void and take the chance to escape the Void Secret Realm. This way, you can avoid many schemes and evade calamity. However, by doing so, you will also completely lose the treasures left by the Taixu Sect, leaving a huge hidden danger for the future, and you will also lose an immortal artifact that could withstand the calamity at the end of days.”

”Destiny Tip Three: Fortunately, after a long passage of time, Daoist Yuanqing’s soul has weakened to the extreme, and so has the strangeness parasitizing him. Now is the best time to kill it.

First, you need to use the Demon-Vibrating Bell to shake it out of Daoist Yuanqing, then use the Great Sun Buddha Mirror to unleash the True Sun Fire to burn its shell. Finally, as it escapes, you will use the Primordial Talisman Pen to lock onto its aura and then kill it in one strike.

Remember, the order cannot be messed up, or else it will alarm the strangeness lurking within Daoist Yuanqing. Once it becomes aware, you will never have another opportunity to kill it, and you might even get killed in return.”

Upon sensing this information, Jiang Fan’s pupils contracted. He didn’t expect that there was strangeness hidden within Daoist Yuanqing.

The question is what is this strangeness, and why has it never been heard of before?!

Could it be that this strangeness altered Daoist Yuanqing’s memories, causing him to provide false intelligence?

Did it even manipulate the Void Secret Realm, leaving behind the Black Blood Curse?!

He felt that the Ancient Era truly left behind too many secrets.

As if wrapped in a shroud of black mist, it was impossible to discern what was true and what was false.

”Young friend, go and take up the Human Emperor Sword quickly.”

”The great calamity is about to descend, I’m afraid you don’t have much time left.”

”You need to activate the power of the Human Emperor Sword as soon as possible.”

Daoist Yuanqing looked at Jiang Fan with anticipation, eager for Jiang Fan, this Child of Destiny, to take up the Human Emperor Sword and sacrifice billions of living beings in blood to activate the power of this immortal artifact.

Boom~~

At this moment, Jiang Fan immediately took out the Demon-Vibrating Bell from his body and infused it with the vast Primordial Magical Power, fully activating the power of the Demon-Vibrating Bell.

Countless ancient golden runes appeared on the body of the Demon-Vibrating Bell, seemingly like Demon-Vanquishing Runes, containing the power of exorcising all things.

A terrifying sound wave swept out, enveloping the entire hall.

At the same time, this demon-vanquishing sound blasted onto Daoist Yuanqing.

”Young friend, what are you doing? Why are you attacking this old man?”

Daoist Yuanqing’s face changed dramatically.

He never expected that this junior cultivator would actively attack him.

This completely exceeded his expectations.

But before he could finish his words, a piercing scream erupted from his body, like the wailing of a ferocious ghost, as an endless chill filled the hall.

The next second, a palm-sized black creature broke away from Daoist Yuanqing’s soul body, its head twisted and gnarled like old tree roots, its skin a grayish-green hue between decayed leaves and bruised flesh, covered with worm-like bulging veins.

It had no traditional eyes, replaced instead by three black holes distributed across its forehead and cheeks, the edges of which were covered with fine, bristling hair, occasionally oozing a translucent, gelatinous fluid.

At the same time, one by one, black tendrils seemed to root themselves within Daoist Yuanqing’s soul body as if fully merged into one with him.

But after being attacked by the Demon-Vibrating Bell, it let out a piercing scream.

Tendril after tendril of black roots detached from it.

”Humans, cursed humans, how did you discover me?”

The black strangeness shrieked.

It was utterly incredulous.

Because it had long merged with Daoist Yuanqing’s soul body, even a high-tier cultivator would never have discovered its existence.

But this human in front of it seemed to have discovered its presence long ago and even possessed means to deal with it.

Were it not for this special treasure restraining it, it would never have detached from Daoist Yuanqing’s soul.

”Die.”

However, Jiang Fan did not intend to answer its question because, from the information in the destiny tip, this strange creature was incredibly terrifying. If given any breathing space, it might retaliate and kill him.

Even its purpose in speaking was to delay time and seek an opportunity to attack him.

So, naturally, he couldn’t afford to give this strangeness any opportunity.

Boom~~

He once again activated the second magical treasure — the Great Sun Buddha Mirror. This mirror manifested countless golden Sanskrit inscriptions, with chanting sounds resonating from the depths of the void, as if numerous Buddhas were reciting hymns.

A beam of golden True Sun Fire erupted forth, like a blazing sun from above the nine heavens, illuminating the entire hall, with the heat spreading endlessly, the temperature rising sharply.

Bang!

The True Sun Fire instantaneously struck the black strangeness, then began to burn intensely.

”True Sun Fire, you human actually have control of the True Sun Fire?!”

The black strangeness was terrified to the bone, sensing a mortal crisis.

If this continued, it would surely die at the hands of this human cultivator.

At this moment, it was filled with utmost hatred.

If not for the passage of time weakening its power to this extent, facing a mere Nascent Soul Cultivator, how could it be in such a sorry state?!

If given some time to recover its power, it could easily crush this human cultivator to death on its own.
