Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 854: Chapter 431: Return to the Yiling Secret Realm, Guided by Fate

At the same time, in the Yiling Island Group.

Currently ruling this sea area is Daoist Shi Tai, a Fifth-Layer Nascent Soul cultivator, and he is also a Supreme Elder of the Nascent Soul Sect, Sunset Valley, on the Southern Continent.

The daughter of Red Whale Daoist, Yu Ruolin, was once a True Disciple of Sunset Valley.

However, during an expedition to an Ancient Cave Mansion, Yu Ruolin obtained the greatest treasure of the mansion and then vanished without a trace, returning to the Yiling Island Group.

But how could Daoist Shi Tai tolerate such a thing? So he set out from Sunset Valley, relentlessly pursuing Yu Ruolin, trying to find traces of this former True Disciple of Sunset Valley.

Unfortunately, Red Whale Daoist fled with Yu Ruolin, and even now, their whereabouts remain unknown.

No one knows where this father and daughter have gone.

This left Daoist Shi Tai seething with anger.

The opportunity that should have landed in his hands was snatched away by others.

For this reason, Daoist Shi Tai stayed in the Yiling Island Group for decades, hoping to find any clue about Yu Ruolin, even though this place was unsuitable for a Nascent Soul cultivator to practice, he was unwilling to leave.

Of course, another very important reason he didn’t want to leave was because he heard about the existence of the Yiling Secret Realm.

It’s said to be a Mystical Transformation Realm.

Once, Daoist Yiling relied on the opportunities within this realm to soar instantly, even hoping to advance to Divinity Transformation.

Sadly, he eventually met an untimely death.

If he too could obtain the opportunities of the Yiling Secret Realm, perhaps his cultivation could advance further.

So he quietly waited in this sea area, waiting for the Yiling Secret Realm to open again.

After all, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, he had a long lifespan and could afford to wait.

”Hmm? What’s going on? Could it be that the Yiling Secret Realm has opened?”

Suddenly, while cultivating, Daoist Shi Tai abruptly awoke in the Quiet Chamber, as he sensed the Spiritual Qi of the entire sea area beginning to boil.

A terrifying and mysterious power swept across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

Even he felt bouts of unease.

Boom~~

In an instant, Daoist Shi Tai’s expression changed. He suddenly saw a terrifying monster appear in the sky, resembling a jellyfish, with countless transparent tentacles growing, and its body covered in dense black runes, as if infested with parasitic worms, along with many patches of black slime.

In the next second, countless transparent tentacles stretched out in all directions.

One of them was hurling towards him.

”What’s happening?”

Daoist Shi Tai tried to resist, but it was to no avail. The tentacle easily pierced through all his defenses and struck his body.

He felt as fragile as an ant.

At that moment, he felt as if he had returned to his younger days before beginning cultivation, when he was so weak that any Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator could kill him.

With a loud boom, his gaze instantly became dull, his soul seemingly plunged into an endless Illusion Realm, and he collapsed to the ground, his pupils turning white, and the energy in his body slowly dissipating.

The transparent tentacle was greedily devouring Daoist Shi Tai’s soul.

In fact, it wasn’t just Daoist Shi Tai. All living beings in the Yiling Island Group were the same.

At the same time, they collectively fell into a deep slumber, their bodies entwined by the transparent tentacles.

This sea area also went silent at this moment, without any sound.

It was as if it had transformed into a deathly still sea, eerily quiet.

Even if a needle were to drop to the ground, it would be audible.

Faintly, one could almost hear the sound of the monster chewing.

Boundless white mist also covered this sea area, seemingly isolating it entirely.

This place had become the hunting ground for the monster.

......

Whoosh!

At that moment, the Gate of the Void opened, and a figure appeared on one of the islands in the Yiling Island Group.

The newcomer was Jiang Fan.

After receiving the message from the fate prompt, he arrived at this sea area immediately.

Boom~~

At once, his Spiritual Sense spread in all directions, covering an area of tens of thousands of kilometers.

In that moment, Jiang Fan also saw humans lying asleep on the ground.

Whether mortal or cultivator, they lay lifelessly, with smiles of happiness on their faces.

It was as if they were having sweet dreams.

”So this is the power of the Soul Devourer Dream Demon?”

”It has just escaped and is already so terrifying.”

”If it regains some of its power, that would be trouble.”

Jiang Fan’s pupils contracted.

If it weren’t for the power of the fate prompt, he might still be wondering what had happened to this sea area.

But knowing about the existence of the Soul Devourer Dream Demon, he naturally understood that such an eerie scene must have been caused by that Ancient Demon, which had just escaped, its power weakened to the extreme.

That’s why it needed to devour the souls of countless living beings to restore its strength.

Fortunately, he arrived just in time.

If he had been a moment later, and the Soul Devourer Dream Demon had devoured enough soul energy, he might not have been a match for it, and escaping would have been his only option, to temporarily avoid confrontation.

But that would mean that no living beings on the Southern Continent could survive.

”Living person, there’s a living person here.”

”Ga ga, such a powerful soul, such a delicious soul aura.”

”Eat him, quickly eat him.”
