Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1115: Chapter 541: Ancient Cave Mansion Emerges, Opportunities Abound

Half a year quickly passed.

Obviously, the second spiritual energy surge in the Void Realm lasted a long time.

The entire world underwent earth-shattering changes.

Now not only high-tier cultivators were aware that spiritual energy was beginning to revive.

Even Qi refining cultivators were aware that astonishing changes were happening in this world.

At this moment, Southern Continent, Changwu City.

Ever since the Primordial Talisman Sect unified the Southern Continent, all sects and mortal realms on the continent were unified.

They were all relocated to different cities to live.

This continent no longer had villages; only super cities remained.

It can be described as one hundred percent urbanization.

A single city is like an entire country, with hundreds of millions of people living within.

Those with spirit roots entered Dao institutes to study, those without entered martial institutes.

In short, now is an era where everyone practices cultivation.

As long as one has sufficient talent, there is no need to worry about cultivation techniques and resources.

Numerous geniuses emerged in the Southern Continent.

Of course, the vast majority of them are just ordinary people, with very slow cultivation speed.

"The changes in this world are truly rapid, I never thought what the sect said about spiritual energy revival was actually true."

"Isn’t that right? Initially, some areas didn’t even have Tier One spirit veins, but now the mere spiritual energy in the empty places has reached the Tier One Upper Grade level, it’s really exaggerated."

"If our cultivation environment back then could be like this, perhaps we would have had a chance to advance to Foundation Establishment."

"It’s too late, it’s already too late, we’re all seventy or eighty years old, the vitality in our bodies is declining, even if we actually receive a Foundation Establishment Pill, we can’t break through, now is no longer our era."

Numerous elderly Qi refining stage cultivators discussed fervently, showing slight unwillingness on their faces.

Each of them was very old now, at least eighty years old, some even reached a hundred years.

This basically approaches the lifespan limit of Qi refining stage.

Even in today’s era of spiritual energy revival, they can’t make further progress.

At most, they could cultivate to the ninth layer of Qi refining.

But seeing some young cultivators being able to cultivate to Foundation Establishment in just ten years, or even a few years, they were all filled with envy, jealousy, and hate, feeling as if time was not on their side.

If they were born a bit later, they might have experienced this era.

Unfortunately, they were born too early.

They didn’t enjoy any benefits but went through all kinds of misfortunes.

"Don’t think that spiritual energy revival is a good thing, in reality, it’s also a significant calamity for cultivators."

"Isn’t that right? It’s said that now beyond the cities, those beasts and demon beasts are rapidly evolving, many demon beasts have advanced to Tier Two, Tier Three, and even Tier Four levels, their evolution speed is much faster than us humans."

"Indeed it is, in the past, Qi refining cultivators could venture deep into the mountains to hunt demon beasts, but now, Qi refining cultivators are worth nothing, daring to enter the mountains is seeking death, becoming food for demon beasts, you must advance to Foundation Establishment at least to roam the wild."

"Yes, over the past half-year, a large number of demon beasts have rushed out from deep within the mountains, forming beast tides, attempting to assault our Changwu City, but fortunately, there are sect elders stationed here, those demon beasts are purely suicidal."

"However, even so, the outside world has become incredibly dangerous, mortals can hardly survive in the wild. A single demon beast can devour an entire mortal village."

Many elderly cultivators lamented, expressions of terror on their faces.

If the era before the revival of spiritual energy, although occasionally encountering demon beasts, was only deep in the mountains that one could encounter some powerful demon beasts.

But now, due to spiritual energy revival, the world is filled with vast energy, causing the number of demon beasts to escalate rapidly, and they are evolving wildly.

Tier One demon beasts are now commonplace, becoming like cannon fodder, countless in number.

Tier Two demon beasts, Tier Three demon beasts are the same.

Even more terrifying, deep within the mountains, some say Tier Five demon beasts, and even Tier Six demon beasts have emerged.

If this continues, the wilderness outside the cities will likely become a paradise for demon beasts.

Without the barrier of cities, humans can hardly survive.

Of course, the current strength of the Primordial Talisman Sect is unfathomable, resisting these beast tides poses no problem.

"Indeed the outside is dangerous, but there are also many opportunities."

"Haven’t you heard? Some ancient cave mansions have emerged."

"Some lucky individuals accidentally entered the ancient cave mansions, receiving the legacy of ancient cultivators, even obtaining ancient elixirs, thereby soaring to greatness."

"If we could encounter an ancient cave mansion that just emerged, perhaps we would also have a chance to advance to Foundation Establishment."

An old man in a gray robe, eyes filled with endless ambition.

He believes if he encounters such opportunity, advancing to Foundation Establishment might not be a problem.

Once advancing to Foundation Establishment, lifespan immediately increases to two hundred fifty years.

By then he wouldn’t be considered elderly, but young.

To be honest, facing such an era, he doesn’t want to die like this.

"Heh, there have indeed been many ancient cave mansions emerging recently."

"But don’t forget, these ancient cave mansions are also dangerous."

"For example, the restriction arrays in the cave mansions are highly powerful, if accidentally triggered, even Divinity Transformation cultivators would die."
