Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1205 - 853: The Development of the Mixed Element Alliance, 50,000 Life Plate Cultivators (Part 2)

Basically, the cultivators who enter the Void Realm are all from those small races without much background.

So naturally they don’t really care about whether these Demon Cultivators live or die; they only care about what information they can get.

"Wait, you’re saying that this Human Race Integration cultivator is from the Ancient Era? Impossible, right? Could it be those Great Powers of the Ancient Era aren’t all dead?"

The pupils of an Elder of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall shrank, and a look of shock and terror appeared on his face.

Because this speculation was simply too terrifying.

If there really is a group of old antiques from the Ancient Era concealed within the Void Realm, then the waters of the Void Realm are far too deep, not something a single force like the Ten Thousand Demon Hall can meddle with.

"Hehe, the war in the Ancient Era was too brutal. On the surface, it looks like we lost."

"But in a certain sense, we can be considered to have won as well—at least we weren’t wiped out."

"And because we ran far too fast, we don’t actually know what happened in the very last battle of the Void Realm."

"Even we prepared so many backup plans—do you think those Super Sects wouldn’t have left any contingencies?"

"The methods of those top Great Powers are all beyond imagination; don’t underestimate them."

"That’s true. Before, it was just my speculation without any evidence, but the appearance of this unfamiliar Human Race Integration cultivator proves my guess—some of those old antiques might really have survived. They’re concealed somewhere in the Void Realm, waiting for the Void Realm to revive once again."

"Damn, I knew the Void Realm wasn’t simple. No wonder so many forces suffer heavy losses when they enter. The waters of the Void Realm are way too deep."

The many Elders of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall discussed heatedly, their expressions incomparably grave.

"If that’s the case, should we still send spies into the Void Realm?"

"Are we going to end up getting nothing, and instead provoke a great disaster?"

An Elder of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall voiced his concern.

"Hehe, those old antiques in the Void Realm are indeed formidable, but are we supposed to be afraid of them?"

"That’s right. After accumulating for hundreds of millions of years, our Ten Thousand Demon Hall has long since nurtured who knows how many Integration Great Powers and Mahayana Realm cultivators. If it really comes down to a fight, we’re no weaker than any other force."

"Exactly, exactly. Even compared with the legendary Taixu Sect, the current Ten Thousand Demon Hall is not much inferior."

"There’s no way we’re retreating. The Void Realm contains too many opportunities; if we retreat, we’d only be letting those opportunities fall into the hands of other forces."

"That’s true, but we’ll have to be more cautious from now on when we act in the Void Realm. Cultivators at the Void Refining Level may not be much, but if too many die, even our Ten Thousand Demon Hall can’t afford the losses."

"Agreed. Just have them probe for information; as for places that are too dangerous, we mustn’t step into them lightly."

"We wait. Now is not the time for our Ten Thousand Demon Hall to launch a full-scale invasion. We’ll wait until the Spiritual Qi of the Void Realm recovers to a certain degree; it won’t be too late to charge in then. For now, this is just the beginning."

The many Elders of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall continued their discussion.

Although this incident did cause them heavy losses, it was basically impossible to make them retreat just like that. However, precisely because of this matter, the Ten Thousand Demon Hall stopped acting so aggressively and instead began pulling back their forces.

Even the other ancient forces did the same, all going into hibernation, waiting for the continued revival of the Void Realm.

......

Another month passed.

Jiang Fan and his Dao Companion Su Weiwei, along with Lu Youyou, had been "exchanging insights" for a whole month; one could say yin and yang had thoroughly blended, which greatly deepened their feelings for one another.

After all, this time he planned to head to the Spirit Ruins Realm to advance to Integration.

Once he advanced to Integration, he most likely wouldn’t be able to return to the Void Realm in the short term.

Of course, this wasn’t really a big problem.

Because Su Weiwei and Lu Youyou could also come to the Spirit Ruins Realm via the Gate of the Void.

However, they still needed to remain in the Void Realm to keep the Primordial Talisman Sect running.

But no matter what, they would have to be apart for a period of time.

Swoosh!

The next second, Jiang Fan opened the Gate of the Void and returned to the Ice Prison of the Spirit Ruins Realm.

To be honest, he’d been away from the Spirit Ruins Realm for close to a hundred years, and he was quite curious about what changes had taken place.

Especially with regard to the Mixed Element Alliance he had founded.

He’d been gone for so long, so the Alliance’s development was probably quite rapid.

After all, those cultivators with Life Charts were all difficult characters.

Even without him, those Life Plate Cultivators would probably be able to make a name for themselves within the Great Xuan Dynasty.

"Hm? The members of the Mixed Element Alliance have increased this much?!"

"It’s already reached fifty thousand, right? How did it grow so fast?"

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin.

He immediately saw the member count on the forum; after nearly a hundred years of development, the Mixed Element Alliance had grown from the original few thousand to fifty thousand people.

Honestly, that rate of growth was already astonishing.

After all, these are cultivators with Life Charts, and the number of such special cultivators is extremely small.

Not only do you have to be able to find them, they also have to be trustworthy before they can join the Mixed Element Alliance.

Not just any Life Plate Cultivator can become a member of the Mixed Element Alliance.

"Wait, Ye Linglong, Li Changsheng, Shi Ping’an, Lu Zhicheng, Lu Duoduo and the rest have all become Nascent Soul Cultivators?"

"Right, they are cultivators with Immortal Destiny Life Charts after all—their talent is astounding."

"With a bit of resources to assist them, breaking through to Nascent Soul in a hundred years is the easiest thing in the world."

"And they even slowed down their cultivation on purpose to solidify their foundation."

"Otherwise, they’d probably already have reached the Divinity Transformation Level."

"After all, cultivating too fast isn’t always a good thing."

"But no wonder the Mixed Element Alliance has developed so quickly."

Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow.

Through lines of karma, he immediately sensed the current situation of each cultivator in the Mixed Element Alliance.

Basically, among the first batch of Life Plate Cultivators to join the Alliance, all who hadn’t fallen had become Nascent Soul Cultivators.

The slightly weaker ones had also become Golden Core Cultivators.

Only the newly joined Life Plate Cultivators were still at the Qi Refining Stage.

But in any case, the Mixed Element Alliance had indeed begun to take shape.

Because in the Great Xuan Dynasty of the Spirit Ruins Realm, a Nascent Soul Cultivator could be considered just newly reaching adulthood.

They possessed a certain degree of combat strength.

And they were starting to come into contact with all kinds of affairs.

"Tsk tsk, looks like over these hundred years, the Mixed Element Alliance has made quite a bit of money too."

"I didn’t expect the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall to have accumulated so many treasures."

Jiang Fan also sensed the situation inside the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall.

To be honest, what allowed so many members of the Mixed Element Alliance to unite was, naturally,利益—profit.

And profit was exactly what the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall brought.

This incomplete Immortal Artifact can transport all kinds of treasures, achieving instantaneous transfer of objects.

This way, no matter where they are, members of the Mixed Element Alliance can trade with one another.

At the same time, this also allows all members to gain certain benefits.

Of course, the benefits for the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall itself were enormous as well.

Because for trades between members, the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall needs to charge a certain transaction fee.

In other words, they have to pay taxes.

Over the span of a hundred years, who knows how many treasures the members have traded.

Anyway, from what he sensed, the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall had earned at least over a hundred thousand Immortal Stones.

That was simply astounding.

"So this is commercial trade?"

"Just the platform fees alone have brought in more profit than the harvest from several previous opportunities combined."

Jiang Fan was quite amazed.

You have to know that previously he’d gone through several calamities just to get a little over a hundred thousand Immortal Stones.

But now, he didn’t need to do anything.

Simply sitting on the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall had already earned him more than a hundred thousand Immortal Stones.

And this is only the beginning.

Currently, the cultivations of the Mixed Element Alliance members are still relatively weak, and the treasures they obtain aren’t that many.

If, when their cultivation rises further to Divinity Transformation, Void Refining, or even Integration, the profit earned then will be truly astronomical.

"No wonder the Wanbao Immortal King possessed such astonishing wealth in the Immortal Realm."

"With this Ten Thousand Treasures Hall Immortal Artifact in his hands, who knows how much wealth he raked in."

"He must have long since aroused the jealousy of countless Immortals."

"No business beats running a platform."

"It’s just like being a landlord, sitting back and collecting rent—a sure-fire fortune."

Jiang Fan felt very satisfied.

Right, perhaps I can head to the Ten Thousand Treasures Secret Realm and cultivate inside the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall.

That place is extremely hidden, and its Spiritual Qi is dense.

Even if I advance to Integration and trigger heaven-and-earth phenomena, it won’t be detected by other forces.
