Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1401: Chapter 648: Surviving the Calamity, Obtaining a First-Grade Opportunity

“Fellow Daoist Ye, there is no need for you to worry. Leave these vile creatures to me.”

At this moment, a figure appeared in the Imperial Capital.

The person who arrived was naturally Jiang Fan.

This voice transmitted directly into the sea of consciousness of Ye Wuxian and the others.

“Hold on, who are you? Could you be the Talisman Daoist?”

Ye Wuxian and the other Mahayana cultivators were instantly shocked. They had never imagined that at such a perilous moment, an uninvited guest would appear, and it turned out to be the renowned Talisman Daoist.

This mysterious Talisman Daoist had only appeared in the Spirit Ruins Realm for a very brief period, merely a few hundred years.

But within these few hundred years, he accomplished countless earth-shattering great deeds.

He even made outstanding contributions to delay the demon’s invasion.

None of them, even as Mahayana cultivators, could compare to him.

They had always wanted to find the whereabouts of this Talisman Daoist, to discover who he really was.

Unfortunately, there had been no signs or clues all along.

But now, the fact that he appeared before them was indeed unbelievable.

However, this Talisman Daoist was shrouded in a mysterious power, distorting his appearance so that even divine sense exploration could not reveal his true face.

Normally, encountering such a mysterious figure should induce vigilance.

Yet, the moment he appeared, a sense of reassurance washed over them.

It seemed as if the Heavenly Dao was silently telling them that this person was trustworthy.

“The Talisman Daoist? This variable indeed has appeared.”

Some Mahayana demons, seeing Jiang Fan’s appearance, wore grim expressions.

They never expected that the famous Talisman Daoist would dare to show up here. Didn’t he know that the Imperial Capital was already doomed? Yet, he dared to appear now.

Was this foolishness or courage borne from supreme skill?!

Honestly, they didn’t consider someone who had cultivated to such a realm among human cultivators to be foolish.

If he dared to appear here, he likely had a well-thought-out plan.

Could it be that this guy had mastered some trump card that could handle this situation?

This vaguely uneased them.

Because this Talisman Daoist was too mysterious, each time he appeared, he inflicted heavy damage on the demons.

Moreover, only they, the demons, were known to be mysterious, with outsiders unable to learn their secrets.

Yet, here was a human cultivator who was so mysterious they couldn’t glean any information about him, which was simply turning the world upside down.

“Is this the human cultivator who has caused such severe losses among the demons of this realm? He’s quite bold to show up here.”

“Haha, a truly foolish human cultivator. Since he wants to die, let him come.”

“Indeed, it’s a perfect opportunity to catch all these human cultivators in one fell swoop. By wiping them out, there won’t be much power left in this world to oppose us demons.”

“Truly a double blessing, let’s kill this Talisman Daoist here. He’s brought us quite the misery.”

Many Mahayana demons seethed with murderous intent.

They stared at this uninvited guest. Although they felt the Talisman Daoist was mysterious, they had strength in numbers. Why would they fear a mere human cultivator?

They had faced formidable enemies before, so what was this mortal human cultivator compared to them?

Just another dish on their dining table.

Boom~~

Jiang Fan wasted no words. With a wave of his hand, a blazing crimson light surged out and unfurled into a banner about ten feet high in mid-air— that was the Immortal Artifact, the Flag of Equality.

This banner’s surface was not ordinary silk but woven from Crimson Gold Immortal Silk mingled with Phoenix plumes, smooth to the touch yet exuding an imposing immortal might. On the banner, dim patterns flowed like living things, at its center was an ancient “Equality” seal in vermillion, its strokes intertwined with tiny golden runes.

Each rune seemed to contain the ultimate truths of Heaven and Earth, with a clear immortal sound faintly emanating from the flag’s surface. As the wind made the flag crackle, instead of clamoring with mundane airs, a soft golden light spilled from its edges, dispelling the nearby demonic miasma.

The flagpole was fashioned from eons-old warm jade, entirely crimson, carved with ancient patterns to subdue demons, with a red immortal crystal embedded at the top. Its radiance accentuated the flag’s crimson even more, appearing from afar as a fiery red flame suspended in mid-air, both sacred and majestic.

“Go.”

Jiang Fan’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness as the primordial magical power within him surged into the flag’s body. The Flag of Equality rapidly expanded, instantly stretching to a width of several feet. The characters “Equality” on the banner glowed brightly, the dazzling crimson light piercing through the clouds, as golden runes poured down, forming a red light shield that enveloped the heavens and the earth. This was the innate divine technique of the Flag of Equality—the Equality Domain.

The moment the domain expanded, the surrounding void began to violently tremble, emitting deep thunderous rumbles as the ground cracked with fine lines, stones crumbling, and even the demonic power in the air was forcibly torn apart and smoothed over. The laws of Heaven and Earth seemed reorganized, leaving only an ancient power of eternal equality.

At this moment, hundreds of Mahayana Demons roamed wildly in mid-air, surrounded by dense, ink-like demon fog. Their ferocious aura soared to the skies, each demon radiating apocalyptic pressure. Gleaming scales and exposed fangs, some with human bodies, beast heads, others covered in bones spikes, all with fearsome reputations forged through millennia of cultivation.
