Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1515: Chapter 703: Overcoming Disaster, Gaining 1.5 Billion Luck Points (2)

Jiang Fan waved his hand, immediately picking up the storage bag left behind by Jiang Weidong.

As for his corpse, it had long since turned to ashes.

Whoosh!

The next second, he disappeared from the spot and flew towards Jiang Family Village.

...

Meanwhile, in a certain city, in the ancestral house of the Jiang family, within a building.

There were countless soul lamps placed here, left behind by the descendants of the Jiang family.

If a soul lamp were to extinguish, it would mean the death of a descendant.

This place was also guarded by some Jiang family guards, who constantly monitored the state of the soul lamps.

"What’s going on? Wasn’t Lord Jiang Weidong’s soul lamp extinguished just now? Why is it burning so brightly now?"

Someone scratched his head, feeling quite puzzled.

He felt as if he had forgotten something.

Clearly, he saw the soul lamp of a True Immortal suddenly go out, then panicked, trying to inform the elders of the family.

After all, the fall of a True Immortal was no trivial matter for the family.

But now that he looked closely, the soul lamp hadn’t gone out at all; it was just an illusion.

"What are you talking about? You must be too tired and had a hallucination."

"Lord Jiang Weidong is a True Immortal, and he’s not far from becoming an Earth Immortal; how could he die so easily?"

"Exactly, Lord Jiang Weidong is a True Immortal cultivating the Path of Destiny, best at seeking fortune and avoiding evil. He wouldn’t die so easily."

"That’s right, you must have been too tired. I’ve been here too, and I didn’t see any soul lamp extinguish."

Everyone was chattering.

Suddenly, all the Jiang family guards also felt a sense of disorientation.

All information, appearance, and past memories about Jiang Weidong disappeared swiftly.

Instead, it was the appearance and information of Jiang Fan that took their place.

Under the modification of the Power of Destiny, they had no awareness at all, not even sensing anything unusual.

They even thought that it had always been this way.

The previous Jiang Weidong was someone they didn’t know or remember at all.

"True, with all of you here, nothing must have happened."

"Looks like I’ve been too tired lately, having hallucinations."

The person smiled awkwardly.

He also felt he was making a big fuss out of nothing.

Clearly, True Immortal Jiang Weidong’s soul lamp was burning so brightly; it didn’t look like the appearance of someone fallen.

Under the influence of the Power of Destiny, the sense of dissonance deep within him also vanished in an instant.

Similar situations weren’t unique to these people either.

All beings with causal relationships with Jiang Weidong also had their soul’s deep memories silently altered, and they didn’t perceive anything unusual either.

This is the terrifying part of the immortal technique, Other Transformation Skill.

It replaced not only causality but also memory and destiny.

As if the original Jiang Weidong never existed at all.

...

An hour later.

Jiang Fan finally arrived at Jiang Family Village.

"Is this a village in the Immortal Realm?"

At this moment, Jiang Fan looked at a gigantic human race village in the distance.

He looked up, and in the depths of the black fog, a quaint and serene village stood silently, which was Jiang Family Village.

The village was not large, with houses built from ancient stones and green wood, arranged in an orderly fashion, exuding the heritage of an ancient clan spanning eternity, yet it was entirely enveloped and besieged by the surrounding rolling black fog, like a solitary island floating in the dark vast sea.

Just as the black fog was about to overflow and touch the village, suddenly, a vast barrier glowing white with a faint green flowing light spread open abruptly, like an overturned ancient jade disc, seamlessly covering the entire Jiang Family Village.

This was the protective village Immortal Array of ancient heritage operating on its own, with the barrier as solid as gold and jade, suffused with the rich and lasting Immortal Realm’s spiritual qi, furthermore with vast Dao Rhythms rippling layer upon layer.

On the surface of the barrier, countless, innumerable Heavenly Dao Patterns crisscrossed like falling star rivers and coiling dragons, with mysterious archaic lines winding or straightly crossing, layering every inch of the barrier.

The patterns varied in depth and light, some like ancient characters engraved, vigorous and weighty; some like clouds winding, ethereal and mysterious; some hidden within the barrier’s glow, faintly appearing, harmonizing with the temporal sequence of heaven and earth, and the principles of the universe. Thousands of patterns interlinked and resonated end to end, forming the interconnected array’s vein, continually drawing the heaven and earth spiritual qi to pour into the barrier, the Immortal Array gently trembled, emitting an inaudible hum.

The violent black mist repeatedly clashed against the barrier, surging and colliding, setting off waves of black, but each time it reached the edge of the flowing pattern barrier, it was sharply repelled by an invisible mighty force, unable to invade a bit.

The Immortal patterns flowed brightly, the spiritual light flickered, forming a never-fallen heavenly barrier, isolating the external black mist, Yin evil demons, and the chaotic void currents, safeguarding inner peace in the village.

Undoubtedly, it was this Immortal Array that sheltered Jiang Family Village, allowing the human race village to survive within the black fog.

Otherwise, it would’ve been eroded by the black fog, demonized, and killed.

"But the people living in the village are basically abandoned."

Jiang Fan’s eyes glinted with a chill.

Over time, he also began to organize the many memories of Jiang Weidong.

Of course, he became aware of what had happened in the Immortal Realm after the battle millions of years ago.

Although the ancient sects of the Immortal Realm were defeated, they were not entirely extinct.

After that battle, there were still some powerful Immortal Kings left.

And these Immortal Kings led cultivators of various races, retreating to some dangerous areas in the Immortal Realm.

Leaning on the topography of these treacherous areas, they warded off further invasions by the Immortal Race.

Initially, the living beings of various races resided within the cities, without villages.

But over time, as the population grew continuously.

This caused the bearing capacity of the cities to reach its limit.

So some lower-end populace was cleared out by the upper echelons.

Of course, the so-called clearing wasn’t to kill them, but to expel them from the cities, placing them outside, forming villages.

Numerous human race villages, like stars, surrounded the cities.

In this way, there were various benefits for the major forces.

Firstly, it naturally eased the pressure on cities, not needing to support too many people.

Simultaneously, the emergence of these villages also expanded the territorial area of the major forces, and these villages could cultivate various immortal grains and immortal elixirs, providing food and cultivation resources for the cities.

More importantly, these villages were also fortresses, situated at the frontline.

Once the Immortal Race attacked, they also alerted the immortals residing in the cities, serving a warning purpose.

Because of these benefits, villages naturally increased continuously.

But for the people living in the villages, they were always in a crisis of life and death.

Every so often, a batch of villages would perish in the black fog, turning to ashes and scattering.

All in all, people living in these villages were basically cannon fodder.

Even Jiang Weidong, being the village chief, was just slightly larger cannon fodder.

"No wonder this guy chose to venture into the black fog, hoping to obtain resources to advance to become an Earth Immortal."

"Once advanced to Earth Immortal, he could leave Jiang Family Village and completely break away from the fate of being cannon fodder."

"If his cultivation was only at the True Immortal level, there was no way to escape regardless."

Jiang Fan stroked his chin.

Although Jiang Weidong was born into a prestigious family in the Immortal Realm, he wasn’t that important, either.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been treated as discarded by the Jiang family and sent here as a village chief.

The only way for him to reverse his fate was to advance to an Earth Immortal.

Unfortunately, although so many True Immortals existed in the Immortal Realm, not much could truly advance to Earth Immortal.

"Due to the Immortal Race, the Heavenly Dao in the Immortal Realm became chaotic."

"So living beings in the Immortal Realm advancing to become True Immortals and Earth Immortals became more difficult."

"Over these years, the number of immortals in the various forces of the Immortal Realm has rapidly decreased."

"There’s simply no increase in the number of immortals."

"If it continues like this, the various forces of the Immortal Realm will sooner or later be extinct by the Immortal Race."

"And the Immortal Race would become the absolute overlord of the Immortal Realm, unstoppable."

Jiang Fan’s eyes glimmered.

To be honest, his luck was quite good.

Even though the various forces of the Immortal Realm were declining, at least this place was not the territory of the Immortal Race.

If he had indeed sneaked into the territory of the Immortal Race, he probably couldn’t have taken a single step.

Appearing in this place at least counted as having a glimmer of hope.
