Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1139: Chapter 551: Effortless Crossing the Tribulation, Acquiring a First-Grade Opportunity (Part 2)

When it was killed for the fifth time, the demon felt fear, the fear of death: "Stop killing me, really stop it, if you kill me again, I’ll really die."

When it was killed for the sixth time, the demon began to beg for mercy, something it had never done in its life: "Spare me, spare me, we can coexist peacefully. Whatever treasure you want, I can give it to you, I can make you Immortal."

When it was killed for the seventh time, the demon realized that threats and pleas were useless against this human cultivator, so it began to entice Jiang Fan: "Don’t you want to know about us demons? I can tell you everything, let’s talk."

When it was killed for the eighth time, the demon hoped to negotiate with the opponent: "Wait, we can discuss this, we really can. I know many secrets from the Ancient Era, even from the Immortal Realm, I can tell you these, there’s no need to be so ruthless."

By the ninth time, the demon’s expression was calm; it knew it was going to die no matter what, and this human was ruthless, with a will as steely as iron, unshakeable.

It showed a vicious and resentful expression: "Human, you are indeed formidable. This time I am indeed thoroughly defeated, but you have no idea the powerful enemy you’ve made yourself. I will wait for you in Hell; the creatures of this world have no hope."

As these words were spoken, a blade of light emerged from the Human Emperor Sword.

Boom~~

This time, the Substitute Death Ghost turned to ash once again, and this time it completely exhausted its power of resurrection.

It had died as thoroughly as possible, with no chance of revival.

Boom~~

In an instant, a message immediately penetrated deep into Jiang Fan’s consciousness: "You have entered the Cangwu Immortal Mansion and encountered the terrifying enemy, the Substitute Death Ghost. After a life-and-death battle, you have finally slain the enemy, successfully passing through a mortal tribulation, gaining two hundred million Luck Points and a First-Grade Opportunity."

Feeling this influx of information, Jiang Fan immediately heaved a sigh of relief; only now did he finally manage to kill the opponent.

This demon was extremely difficult to kill.

If he couldn’t precisely locate its position, perhaps it would have escaped long ago.

No, it wouldn’t have simply escaped; it might have counter-killed him.

However, no matter how it went, killing the demon yielded tremendous rewards.

Just from the Luck Points alone, he gained two hundred million.

It can be inferred how ferocious this demon really was.

After slaying it, who knows how many lives were saved, how much loss was rectified for the Void Realm.

"Did I really completely kill this demon?"

"And it was resurrected ten times, no wonder it acted so recklessly."

"What ability does this human possess to accurately find the demon’s hiding place?"

The Mansion Spirit observed this scene, thoroughly stunned, not knowing what to say.

It had completely underestimated the demon’s strength.

The power it recovered was simply laughable in front of the demon.

No wonder the demon looked down on it.

If not for this human cultivator’s appearance, it would have perished.

After all, it had no way to launch the same attack ten times.

"Don’t ask me, I won’t answer anyway."

"It’s a secret."

Jiang Fan immediately saw through the Mansion Spirit’s thoughts and spoke bluntly.

He certainly couldn’t expose his own secrets.

This was his biggest trump card.

Only he knew it, and that was enough.

"I understand."

The Mansion Spirit nodded, aware of how terrifying the demon was.

Once spoken, it could be detected by the demon, and who knew how many secrets would be stolen by it.

So the secret must never be uttered, otherwise, the enemy would detect weaknesses.

Even though it was deeply curious, it wouldn’t press for more information.

"May I know the predecessor’s name?"

Jiang Fan asked curiously.

"Seventy-Seven."

The Mansion Spirit replied straightforwardly.

"Seventy-Seven? Why this name?"

Jiang Fan inquired.

"It’s simple because I am the Seventy-Seventh Mansion Spirit of the Cangwu Immortal Mansion, hence called Seventy-Seven."

"There are one hundred similar Cangwu Immortal Mansions in the entire Mortal World."

"They were all created by the Cangwu Immortal King and then dispatched into the Mortal World."

The Seventy-Seven Mansion Spirit explained.

"There are actually a hundred Cangwu Immortal Mansions?"

"Why are there so many?"

Jiang Fan was quite surprised; he originally thought such an important place as the Cangwu Immortal Mansion, possessing just one would already be good, definitely a unique existence in the Mortal World. Who would have thought, there are a hundred of them.

Plus, the Cangwu Immortal Mansion in the Void Realm is only one of them.

Imagine how wealthy this Cangwu Immortal King must be.

"Naturally, it was what the Immortal King left behind in the Mortal World as a contingency."

"Leaving such Inheritance Lands can ensure that the inheritance isn’t lost."

"Secondly, the Immortal King can preserve some precious resources in the Mortal World."

"If the Immortal King returns one day, he can retrieve these resources."

The Mansion Spirit didn’t intend to conceal too much and revealed some secrets of the Immortal Mansion, all were from the deeds of the Immortal King.

Hearing this, Jiang Fan felt tumultuous waves inside, realizing he had learned an incredible secret.

Though people always say these Immortal Mansions fell from the Immortal Realm, perhaps due to battles of the Immortals.

But in reality, how could so many Immortal Mansions fall down, it’s all the handiwork of the Great Powers.

Intentionally letting these Immortal Mansions fall, scattered into the Mortal World.

Thus mortals had the chance to gain inheritance from the Immortal Realm, obtain cultivation resources from the Immortal World.

More importantly, it seems the Immortals from the Immortal Realm can also come to the Mortal World and be reborn.

Once they practice in the Mortal World, naturally, they would need a lot of cultivation resources too.

The resources inside these Immortal Mansions are naturally prepared for their reborn selves.

With the help of these resources, they can quickly rise and seize power.

"Do you know the locations of other Cangwu Immortal Mansions?"

Jiang Fan asked curiously.

"I used to know, but I don’t anymore."

"After a battle in the Ancient Era, I’ve lost contact with other Cangwu Immortal Mansions."

"Some of the Cangwu Immortal Mansions were overrun by the demons and destroyed."

"Some hid themselves to avoid being discovered by the demons."

"So I don’t know how many Cangwu Immortal Mansions are left."

The Seventy-Seven Mansion Spirit said helplessly.

If it could connect with other Mansion Spirits of the Cangwu Immortal Mansions, perhaps it could quickly restore this Immortal Mansion.

But without help from other Immortal Mansions, wanting to completely restore it would be unknown how much time it would take.

However, surviving from the Ancient Era is already a blessing in disguise.

"The demons actually chose to attack your Immortal Mansions?"

Jiang Fan was a bit surprised.

"Of course."

"Dealing with the mortals of the Void Realm was just a small part of the demon’s power."

"In fact, most of their power was focused against us Immortal Mansions."

"They attempt to dismantle the backups left by the Immortal King."

"Thus they suffered heavy losses in the Ancient Era."

The Seventy-Seven Mansion Spirit explained.

Hearing this, Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered, clearly, the battle in the Ancient Era was extremely complex.

It not only involved battles in the Mortal World but also the Immortal Realm and even the layout of the Immortal King.

Involved higher levels of power.

If ordinary cultivators were entangled in it, they’d surely be shattered, obliterated.

No wonder all forces in the Void Realm were wiped out.

Engaging in a battle of this magnitude was beyond what Mortal Realm forces could withstand.

Only some Ancient Sects that escaped in time could survive.

Other powers, essentially, ceased to exist.

One can imagine how perilous and terrifying the battle in the Ancient Era was, utterly beyond comprehension.

"But this matter is really far from concerning you, fellow cultivator."

"Many secrets among them aren’t something you can get involved with."

"If you want to know more, you need to increase your cultivation level."

"At the very least, you’d have to advance to the Mahayana Realm to have the qualification to know this information."

The Seventy-Seven Mansion Spirit said.

"Alright, in that case, I won’t ask any more."

"But having passed the assessment, shouldn’t there be rewards?"

Jiang Fan asked.

He was really looking forward to the reward he would receive after passing the assessment.

He guessed this would be the First-Grade Opportunity he was about to obtain.

"Rewards? Of course, there are rewards."

"Not only did you pass the assessment, but you also saved the Cangwu Immortal Mansion."

Hearing this, the Seventy-Seven Mansion Spirit smiled.
