Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1251 - 576: Another Fate Hint, the Prison Elder’s Scheme (2)

But do you think this will stop it?

The Immortal Prison Hall truly underestimates its own abilities.

It’s just a mere mortal, and even if he’s an Integration Cultivator, he’s still insignificant.

If I wanted to kill this guy, it would be but a moment’s work.

There have been Integration Cultivators who became prison guards before, but didn’t I still manage to secretly kill them?

This human cultivator will be no exception.

”You’ve completed a task, proving you are a qualified prison guard.”

”Currently, the Immortal Prison Hall is severely damaged and needs a large amount of materials for repairs.”

”Therefore, I hope you can go to the Minghua Mountain Range and excavate a large amount of Nether Purple Crystal.”

”As long as you complete this task, you will receive a large reward.”

”Your prison guard rank will also be elevated.”

The Prison Elder said indifferently, issuing the second task.

In fact, these tasks in the Immortal Prison Hall aren’t just issued randomly.

They are tasks the Immortal Prison Hall genuinely needs.

The previous task to seal the Demon Taotie was the same.

However, these tasks are extremely dangerous, containing significant traps.

This current task follows the same pattern.

Because the Minghua Mountain Range is by no means a safe place.

It is inhabited by many powerful exotic beasts, including those in the Integration Realm and even the Mahayana Realm.

If this lad rashly ventures into the Minghua Mountain Range, he’s likely to die at the hands of these powerful exotic beasts.

Of course, my scheme involves more than just that.

Bang~~

In an instant, a message surged into the depths of Jiang Fan’s consciousness.

”You’ve outstandingly completed the Immortal Prison Hall’s task, but this has completely enraged the Prison Elder, who now sees you as a mortal enemy to be eliminated swiftly, thus arranging a second lethal task for you.”

”Destiny will offer you insight.”

”Destiny Insight One: The Minghua Mountain Range is a dragon’s lair and tiger’s den, inhabited by numerous Integration Realm beasts and Void Refining Level beasts. Boldly venturing inside would only lead to becoming food for these beasts. However, possessing the Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaf allows you to easily conceal your presence from these beasts’ senses, thereby entering the depths of the Minghua Mountain Range and mining Nether Purple Crystal from the veins. This task is almost effortless for you.”

”Destiny Insight Two: What you don’t know is that the Prison Elder’s scheme goes beyond this; even if you successfully return with Nether Purple Crystal, it will only hasten your demise.

Because Nether Purple Crystal is a unique ore in the Ice Prison, formed from absorbing extreme cold and darkness of heaven and earth. It certainly can repair some defects of the Immortal Prison Hall.

But the energy it contains can also significantly enhance the power of the Prison Elder. Once you acquire enough Nether Purple Crystal, it will enable the Prison Elder to temporarily break free from the constraints of the Immortal Prison Hall, allowing it to strike you down completely.”

”Destiny Insight Three: This task seems riddled with traps, and the Prison Elder believes its plot is foolproof, but it doesn’t know that deep within the Minghua Mountain Range lies the Immortal Prison Hall’s treasure—the Hell Spear.

This treasure has slain countless formidable enemies, and it appeared in the Minghua Mountain Range because it impaled a powerful Immortal Realm creature, leaving behind a mighty Immortal Beast carcass deep within the mountains.

It is precisely because of this Immortal Beast carcass that the Minghua Mountain Range has nurtured many exotic beasts. A mere bit of its blood essence is a supreme treasure, making the Minghua Mountain Range a stronghold for exotic beasts.

Therefore, when you leave the Minghua Mountain Range, you can bring back the Hell Spear. This way, you can use the power of the Hell Spear to severely injure the Prison Elder, rendering it completely incapable of killing you.”

Receiving this message, Jiang Fan remained expressionless, but his heart was in turmoil.

He never expected that a single task would entail so many opportunities and secrets.

This Prison Elder is indeed bent on killing him.

And the tasks arranged are full of pits.

If it weren’t for the destiny insight, he might really have been trapped to death by the opponent.

But he now knows the future of destiny and has discovered the only chance for survival.

Thus, the actions of the Prison Elder will ultimately be self-defeating.

Undoubtedly, for him, this is an opportunity to severely injure the Prison Elder.

That guy is always scheming against him, and he has long wished to trap it once.

Yet before, he never found the opportunity.

Now, that opportunity has finally presented itself.

The Prison Elder thinks it’s guaranteed victory, not realizing its end is near.

”But the Minghua Mountain Range is indeed inhabited by so many powerful exotic beasts, far more than the Ice Crystal Mountain Range.”

”This is likely related to the Immortal Beast carcass.”

”But what level of Immortal Beast carcass could nurture so many powerful exotic beasts?”

Jiang Fan squinted his eyes.

Instinctively, he felt this journey to the Minghua Mountain Range might also be a massive opportunity.

If he could obtain some of the Immortal Beast’s essence blood or even flesh, the benefits are imaginable.

Especially for the cultivation of his Soaring Snake Technique, it would undoubtedly enhance the True Spirit Technique further.

In other places, there’s hardly any chance to obtain essence from an Immortal Beast.

Only in the Ice Prison can such special opportunities exist.

”So, are you willing to accept this task?”

The Prison Elder looked at the silent Jiang Fan and asked.

After all, this human cultivator has completed one task and is already a Sixth-Grade Prison Guard.

Upon ranking up, I cannot easily manipulate him.

If this human cultivator is unwilling, he can refuse the task.

However, there are many other plans in place.

If he refuses this task, there are other dangerous tasks.

In any case, this guy is unlikely to escape death.

”Since it’s your request, of course, I’m willing.”

”Leave the Minghua Mountain Range task to me.”

Jiang Fan smiled slightly and said directly.

He showed no sign of any anomaly, as if completely unaware that the Prison Elder is plotting against him.

”Hmm, then it’s yours.”

The Prison Elder raised its brow, feeling surprised, not expecting the opponent to agree so readily.

Could it be this lad hasn’t sensed its malice?

Or does this guy have something to rely on, even if he senses it, he’s unafraid?

But nonetheless, it is undefeated.

If he fails to complete the task, of course, I have means to deal with him.

If he can complete it, that’s even better.

I can use the power of Nether Purple Crystal to temporarily break free from the Immortal Prison Hall’s constraints, then strike down this human cultivator, ending everything once and for all.

No matter how this guy chooses, I’m holding the winning ticket.

Thinking of this, it felt more assured internally, believing itself to be overly worried, thinking this human cultivator could never find a way to defeat it.

”Then I’ll be off.”

Jiang Fan immediately accepted this task.

The Minghua Mountain Range is located in the western region of the Ice Prison, extraordinarily far from the Ice Crystal Mountain Range.

Even Integration Cultivators don’t know how many years they’d have to fly to traverse the distance.

Thus, exotic beasts inhabiting the Minghua Mountain Range won’t come to the Ice Crystal Mountain Range.

But he possesses the Immortal Prison Order, using the power of the Immortal Prison Hall, he naturally can instantly teleport to the Minghua Mountain Range.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, a powerful wave of space-time energy enveloped Jiang Fan entirely, instantly teleporting him to the outer area of the Minghua Mountain Range.

”So, this is the Minghua Mountain Range!”

This time, Jiang Fan found himself summoned atop a mountain peak.

A vast mountain range lay before him, stretching billions of kilometers, without a glimpse of an end.

This mountain range grew dense, towering purple trees.

Thus, transforming the mountain range into a purple ocean.

These purple trees, named Purple Crystal Trees, are unique flora here, adapted to the cold of the Ice Prison.

Every year, they can produce a large number of Purple Crystal Fruits, which become food for exotic beasts.

In the depth of Jiang Fan’s divine consciousness lies endless exotic beasts in the mountain range’s depths.

Seemingly in every area, Integration Realm exotic beasts are present.

Contrasted to the exotic beast numbers in the Ice Crystal Mountain Range, they are countless times greater.

This location is essentially an empire of exotic beasts.
