Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1462: Chapter 678: Land of Return, Heavenly Merit

”Destiny Hint Four: The Tree of Eternal Life is hidden in the Land of Return within the Void Realm. For ordinary cultivators, reaching the Land of Return is almost impossible. However, you wield the Gate of the Void, and can leverage its power to reach the Land of Return.”

”Destiny Hint Five: To kill these strange beings with common methods is unfeasible; even the Human Emperor Sword cannot achieve this, as they have long been prepared to defend against it. If you truly use the Human Emperor Sword, you would instead be killed.

Fortunately, you already possess the complete Immortal Artifact, the Seven-Colored Lotus Lamp. Though it may not be at its full strength now, if you activate the Seven-Colored Immortal Fire, it will still be able to kill these strange beings.”

”Destiny Hint Six: The true enemy is not the strange beings, but rather this Tree of Eternal Life, a plant weapon created by the Immortal Race, having absorbed a vast amount of Origin Energy from the Void Realm.

Fortunately, during the Ancient Era, it was once besieged by numerous Mahayana cultivators, leaving its body with indelible wounds. This is a weakness on it, so you need to find this weakness to truly annihilate the Tree of Eternal Life.”

”Destiny Hint Seven: By exterminating the strange beings and the Tree of Eternal Life, you will thoroughly enrage the Immortal Race because it shatters years of their planning. They will lock onto your lifeline, and you will be forever pursued by the Immortal Race, regardless of where you hide, it will be futile.

Therefore, after killing them, you need to immediately hide in the Ice Prison. This former Immortal Realm prison possesses the Power of Cause and Effect isolation. Even in its damaged state, it can still block the view of the Immortal Race. As long as you remain hidden in the Ice Prison for a period, you can evade the Immortal Race’s mark.”

”Destiny Hint Eight: Even so, the Immortal Race will still be enraged; they will dispatch more demons from the Immortal Realm to the Mortal World, possibly even sending Immortals down. Consequently, the entire Mortal World will face a great calamity. Your actions will fundamentally affect the historical trajectory of the Mortal World, disrupting the plans of many powerful beings in the Immortal Realm. Your existence will also attract attention from numerous powerful beings.”

”Destiny Hint Nine: It is best to act at dusk seven days later, as that is when the strange beings are weakest, ensuring that your actions will be twice as effective.”

Perceiving this message, Jiang Fan’s pupils contracted.

His heart surged like a towering wave, filled with amazement.

For this time, an overwhelming number of destiny hints have emerged—nine hints in one go.

Previously, only two or three hints appeared.

This illustrates that this calamity is simply unprecedented and unheard of.

A single wrong choice could lead to eternal damnation, like dancing on the edge of a cliff.

Upon careful consideration, this is quite normal.

For these strange beings, the Tree of Eternal Life, and the plans of the Immortal Race have been stirred, having touched upon their core interests, similar to poking a hornet’s nest.

Yet, this step is ultimately necessary.

If he does not eliminate the strange beings and the Tree of Eternal Life, the Void Realm would eventually face destruction.

This war offers no alternative path.

Either they die, or he does.

”Finally, it’s reached this stage.”

Jiang Fan clenched his fist, feeling an incredible surge in his heart.

In the past, he was aware of the Void Realm’s impending doom and was constantly pressured by this calamity to push forward, even having to leave the Void Realm to avoid the pursuit of the strange beings.

Back then, he was very weak; facing such a deadly calamity, he could only hide.

However, today is different from yesterday.

Currently, he is a Mahayana cultivator, one of the top powerhouses in the Mortal World, fully capable of solving these formidable enemies and eliminating the calamity at its inception.

Indeed, this is a monumental calamity, but isn’t it also a great fortune?

Once these strange beings are resolved, the enemies threatening the Void Realm will cease to exist.

The doomsday calamity will thus vanish.

He will also be able to gain a significant amount of destiny and merit.

In the Ancient Era, for Void Realm cultivators aiming for ascension to the Immortal Realm, they not only had to overcome the Immortal Tribulation but also disperse the Mortal World’s cause and effect. Otherwise, under the pull of the Power of Cause and Effect, ascension was impossible.

This is why Mahayana cultivators often establish sects, passing their cause and effect to their disciples.

Through generations of inheritance, they can eliminate cause and effect, letting other cultivators help inherit it.

But there is actually another method to dispel cause and effect.

By obtaining worldly merit.

With merit owed to the heavens and earth, one can naturally dissolve cause and effect.

The problem is that acquiring merit is no easy feat.

Even amidst the powerhouse-filled Ancient Era of the Void Realm, few cultivators could obtain merit.

The easiest method to escape cause and effect is still establishing sects.

However, things are different now.

If he can resolve these strange beings, eliminating the doomsday calamity of the Void Realm, then he would undoubtedly gain substantial merit, no longer needing to worry about how to dissolve cause and effect.”

”Originally, the Primordial Talisman Sect was established to ensure smooth ascension to the Immortal Realm, but now it doesn’t seem necessary. If enough merit is gained, then the numerous causes and effects of the Mortal World can naturally be dispelled.”
