Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1127: Chapter 546: Turning Point of Fate, Awakening of the Mansion Spirit (Part 2)

Because the aura on him was masked by the Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaf, this group of otherworldly Void Refining Cultivators could not perceive Jiang Fan’s presence at all. They weren’t even aware that a stranger Void Refining Cultivator had been here.

However, the eerie force that constantly monitored Cangwu Immortal Mansion noticed it. It let out an angry roar: ”Damn it, what’s with this human cultivator? How did he intrude into the examination site, and what exactly happened just now?”

It was both shocked and furious.

Because the assessment mechanism of Cangwu Immortal Mansion had long been completely sealed by it.

Even if outside cultivators entered Cangwu Immortal Mansion, they could only stay in the peripheral areas.

There was no way to touch the mansion’s examination.

As long as one couldn’t enter the examination site, then it was completely safe.

No matter how these human cultivators wreaked havoc outside, they couldn’t harm or touch it.

And it could sit back and watch, like a tiger observing its prey, as these outside cultivators slowly got killed by it.

But it never expected that its perfect plan would fail completely at this moment.

Somehow, a stranger human Void Refining Cultivator found a loophole in Cangwu Immortal Mansion, bypassed its sealed mechanisms, and directly entered the examination site, which was truly unbelievable.

It had no idea how the other party did it?!

Was it intentional, or purely accidental?!

It was unknown to it.

But in any case, this human cultivator that entered the examination site must die.

No one could threaten it.

”Even if one enters the examination site, so what? The entire immortal mansion falls under my examination.”

”As long as I am willing, everyone must die.”

”So be it, let you die under the examination.”

The eerie force of Cangwu Immortal Mansion quickly calmed down, realizing it was a bit of a fuss.

Currently, the whole immortal mansion was still under its control.

So what if this human Void Refining Cultivator entered the examination site? It was still no threat to it.

Although it couldn’t manipulate the entire examination site, it could still maneuver within it.

For example, increasing the difficulty of the examination to the highest level.

By doing this, this human Void Refining Cultivator would still die.

”Hmm? A variable?”

”It seems I’m not meant to die yet.”

”I hope this person can bring about a bit of change.”

At this moment, the Mansion Spirit of Cangwu Immortal Mansion suddenly awakened.

Activating the examination mechanism of Cangwu Immortal Mansion had restored some of the Mansion Spirit’s powers.

This annoyed the eerie force immensely.

Clearly, it had been suppressed by it for so many years. If it weren’t for the suppression of the Law of the Void Realm, causing it to sleep for many years, this Mansion Spirit would have long been dead.

Now the spirit still dared to make a dying struggle, which was simply intolerable.

This also made it hate this suddenly appearing human cultivator to the bone.

It wanted nothing more than to tear the other party into pieces.

...

Whoosh!

At this moment, Jiang Fan’s figure flickered. He felt his body pass through a void vortex, quickly arriving at another area, and found himself inside a mysterious palace.

The surroundings were utterly empty, literally devoid of anything.

He only sensed that dense Restriction Arrays were set up around, and even the void was sealed by restrictive power. Trying to escape was almost an impossible task.

There was no doubt; he had already entered the examination site of Cangwu Immortal Mansion.

However, his heart was very calm because the destiny clue hadn’t been triggered, indicating that this examination site didn’t pose much danger to him for the time being.

Just at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the void: ”Congratulations on entering the examination site of Cangwu Immortal Mansion. Next, you will participate in a series of assessments. If you pass the assessments, you will receive the rewards bestowed by the immortal mansion. If you fail the examination, then your outcome is death.”

This voice contained a sinister aura, sending chills down the spine.

”The Mansion Spirit has indeed malfunctioned.”

Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes.

He had already understood such a situation.

No matter how powerful the eerie force invading Cangwu Immortal Mansion was, it couldn’t affect the examination mechanism here, at least for now.

The best it could do was make some manipulations.

Moreover, passing the examination would result in corresponding rewards.

It could be said that this place was even safer for him.

”The first examination, Puppet Barrier, you will encounter a hundred puppets of the same rank. Only by defeating all one hundred puppets can you pass this stage.”

”In this stage, you may not use any magical treasures. You must rely solely on your own strength to fight. If you use any magical treasures, you will be deemed failed and immediately put to death.”

Boom~~

Instantly, as the words came, countless black humanoid puppets appeared before Jiang Fan.

They exuded a mysterious, eerie, and powerful aura, with a cultivation at least at the sixth-layer Void Refining Realm.

Their bodies were inscribed with dense mysterious runes, seemingly from the Immortal Realm, unfathomable.

Each one was staring at Jiang Fan, locking onto his aura.

The depths of their pupils were filled with a crazed will, seemingly intending to put Jiang Fan to death.

”It can’t be, isn’t the Puppet Barrier of Cangwu Immortal Mansion supposed to involve facing just one Undying Puppet?”

”Even for peerless geniuses, facing ten Undying Puppets would be quite incredible.”

”Now, needing to deal with a hundred Undying Puppets, what exactly is going on here?”

”And even prohibited from using magical treasures, isn’t this just a setup? Who could pass such an examination?”

The Primordial Talisman Pen was utterly baffled.

Because this was completely different from the information it obtained from the Ancient Era regarding Cangwu Immortal Mansion.

Although entering Cangwu Immortal Mansion indeed required undergoing assessments, these assessments posed no life-threatening danger. If they couldn’t be passed, one would simply be ejected from the mansion.

But now, failing an assessment could result in death, which was truly mind-boggling.

More importantly, the difficulty of the examination was absurdly high, beyond imagination.

This wasn’t an examination; it was essentially aiming for Jiang Fan’s life.

Because it knew how terrifying these Undying Puppets of Cangwu Immortal Mansion were.

They originated from the Immortal Realm, crafted from special materials, being immortal existences.

Even if parts of their bodies were destroyed, they could quickly regenerate.

No matter the intensity of the battle, these puppets of Cangwu Immortal Mansion wouldn’t disappear.

They were ever-lasting.

Boom~~

In an instant, a piece of information entered the depths of Jiang Fan’s consciousness sea.

”Destiny clue: These Undying Puppets are made from branches of the Immortal Realm’s Undying Tree, allowing them to constantly regenerate. Even if shattered, they can quickly restore to their original state.

The only way to completely kill these Undying Puppets is to destroy the puppet core located in their brains. If unable to do this, these Undying Puppets will only grow stronger.

For ordinary cultivators, achieving this is nearly impossible, but you possess the Heaven-Stealing Claw Talisman, which allows you to utilize this spirit talisman to extract the puppet core from their shells.”

Perceiving this information, Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow.

He immediately realized the insidious intent of the eerie force within Cangwu Immortal Mansion.

The opponent truly aimed to kill him completely.

The very first examination, was filled with the opponent’s murderous and malicious intent.

Facing a hundred puppets of the same rank wasn’t something ordinary cultivators could handle.

Further, these were Undying Puppets, immensely stronger than ordinary puppets.

No matter the damage inflicted upon any part of their bodies, they could continuously regenerate.

Failing to destroy the puppet core meant they weren’t truly dead.

A prolonged battle would rapidly deplete the examinee’s magical power.

By then, regardless of one’s cultivation, these Undying Puppets would easily kill them.

More despicably, using magical treasures was prohibited, eliminating any external means.

Undoubtedly, the opponent resorted to maximum effort to ensure his demise.

However, now he discerned the weaknesses of these Undying Puppets.

The eerie force aiming to kill him was essentially impossible.

Boom~~

Instantaneously, over a hundred Undying Puppets attacked. They unleashed the power of their domains, distorting this void, and locking onto Jiang Fan’s aura.

Their powers merged, seemingly forming a grand array.
