Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1596: Chapter 741: The Mortal World After a Millennium and the Development of the Mixed Element Alliance_2

"Just Integration Realm cultivators alone are far from enough. At the very least, everyone has to step into the Mahayana Realm; only then will we have a chance to hold those demons back."

Ye Linglong said faintly.

She had a terrifying premonition—that the Apocalyptic Great Tribulation was about to sweep across the entire Mortal World.

Right now it was merely the eve before the storm breaks, which was why everything still seemed so calm and peaceful.

Once it erupts, there won’t be many chances left.

So they still needed to seize this relatively safe span of time to cultivate, and rapidly raise their cultivation.

Otherwise they would definitely regret it bitterly.

"Ms. Linglong, when the sky collapses, it’s the tall ones who have to hold it up first."

"Even if an Apocalyptic Great Tribulation truly descends on the Mortal World, it won’t be our Spirit Ruins Realm’s turn to resist it."

"Who doesn’t know by now—the true overlord force of the Mortal World is that Primordial Talisman Sect from the Void Realm."

"That is the truly ancient sect; no one even knows how many Mahayana cultivators and how many Integration cultivators they have under their banner."

Liu Shengnan said with deep emotion.

In fact, after a thousand years, the greatest change was the appearance of the Primordial Talisman Sect.

This ancient sect from the Void Realm had also descended into the Spirit Ruins Realm.

They rampaged unhindered, directly setting up Cross-realm Teleportation Arrays across the Spirit Ruins Realm.

They even constructed countless super cities in the Spirit Ruins Realm, occupying vast stretches of territory.

It was as if a giant whale had barged into the Spirit Ruins Realm.

To be honest, in the face of such a situation, the various major powers of the Spirit Ruins Realm were naturally displeased.

After all, they were all long-established local forces—how could they possibly be willing to cede their own interests?

At the beginning, the two sides nearly came to blows.

But very soon, the Primordial Talisman Sect displayed its strength, dispatching over a thousand Mahayana cultivators here.

They even "friendly sparred" with the Great Xuan Dynasty and the Wanhu Demon Kindom.

After that, the two great powers compromised, agreeing to cede a portion of their territory.

Allowing the Primordial Talisman Sect’s influence to enter the Spirit Ruins Realm.

From then on, a third superpower appeared in the Spirit Ruins Realm, even one that towered above the other two.

Precisely because of this, the Great Xuan Dynasty and the Wanhu Demon Kindom coexisted so harmoniously, without breaking out into conflict.

After all, with a third party present, if they fought, they would only be making things easier for outsiders.

"The Primordial Talisman Sect truly is terrifying."

"They haven’t just occupied a single Great Thousand World."

"It’s said their influence has already spread across every corner of the Mortal World; they dominate more than a thousand Great Thousand Worlds."

"And our Spirit Ruins Realm is merely one small piece among them."

"So to them, our Spirit Ruins Realm is simply not worth mentioning."

Xiao Duan said with deep emotion.

Although thanks to the Mixed Element Alliance’s intelligence, he already knew that the Mortal World indeed harbored myriad forces and countless sects, a superpower like the Primordial Talisman Sect was still something he had neither heard of nor seen before.

After all, to stride across so many Great Thousand Worlds was not something that could be accomplished casually.

Fortunately, the Primordial Talisman Sect was a Human Race sect.

If it had been a Demon Race sect, then their Great Xuan Dynasty would probably have been doomed.

Who knows how many cultivators would have died.

"Now that things have come to this point, the truth is actually quite obvious."

"Our Mixed Element Alliance’s Alliance Leader is, in all likelihood, that mysterious Sect Leader of the Primordial Talisman Sect."

"After all, the name of our organization itself is very similar to the Primordial Talisman Sect."

"More importantly, the various talismans that appeared within our Mixed Element Alliance are all Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talismans."

"Those are unique to the Primordial Talisman Sect and can’t be found anywhere else."

Jiang Mo said in a low voice.

Previously, they had all been speculating about what background that mysterious Alliance Leader, the Talisman Daoist, actually had. To be honest, they once had all sorts of guesses, but due to lack of evidence, those speculations were nothing but idle talk.

Yet ever since cultivators from the Primordial Talisman Sect appeared in the Spirit Ruins Realm, pieces of evidence had been laid out before them.

It allowed them to realize that the Mixed Element Alliance and the Primordial Talisman Sect were bound by countless tangled threads.

Afterwards they also came to understand the various powers possessed by the Primordial Talisman Sect, and so this made them even more certain that that mysterious Talisman Daoist was the Sect Leader of the Primordial Talisman Sect.

"At the beginning, we all thought the Talisman Daoist might be a local cultivator."

"But thinking about it carefully—such a powerful cultivator, yet previously completely unheard of—the odds of him being a local are far too small, so he must have come from outside."

"Right. It’s said the Sect Leader of the Primordial Talisman Sect is extremely mysterious. Although his true body once appeared before the world, as soon as he left, all memories relating to him would naturally fade away—no one knows what sort of Divine Power that is. So to this day, those who truly know the Sect Leader’s appearance are practically vanishingly few."

"So Lord Alliance Leader must be that Sect Leader of the Primordial Talisman Sect. Previously we even guessed Lord Alliance Leader might be an Integration cultivator; looking at it now, we utterly underestimated him. Lord Alliance Leader was probably already a Mahayana Ancestor at that time, merely hiding his cultivation."

"From what I know, the Void Realm once suffered an invasion by True Immortals—three True Immortals in total—but all of them were handled by Lord Alliance Leader. Their remains were taken and stored in the Primordial Talisman Sect’s treasure vault."

"Is that true or false? If he can even slay True Immortals who descended to the lower realm, then what level has Lord Alliance Leader’s strength reached? It’s simply inconceivable."

Xiao Duan and the others discussed heatedly, filled with emotion.

In truth, they were deeply grateful to Lord Alliance Leader. If not for his assistance back then, how could orphans like them ever have achieved what they had today?

Granted, they indeed possessed fine talent and had awakened Upper Grade Destiny.

The issue was that the Spirit Ruins Realm was not devoid of Life Plate cultivators, and there were quite a few of them.

Yet the number of Life Plate cultivators who could truly make it to the end were vanishingly small; the overwhelming majority died halfway along the path.

Cultivators like them who had cultivated all the way to the Integration Realm were extremely rare.

Even with peerless talent, if one failed to fully mature, one was nothing but a rookie.

True top-tier experts require both talent and luck; neither can be lacking.

"Still, I think that rumor about slaying True Immortals is a bit too exaggerated."

"From what I know, the Mortal World has already lost the ability to ascend to the Ascension Immortal Realm, and can no longer trigger Immortal Tribulations."

"Countless cultivators at Mahayana Perfection have been trapped at this bottleneck, able only to watch their lifespan run dry and die with regret."

"No matter how formidable Lord Alliance Leader is, he shouldn’t be able to surpass those True Immortals of the Immortal Realm, right?"

Su Wangyue said in a low voice.

As her cultivation improved, she came to know all sorts of secrets of the Cultivation Realm, and so naturally learned that there was an immense barrier in the Mortal World—it had become a dead end cutting off the heavens.

Thus, from hundreds of millions of years ago, no one in the Mortal World had been able to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

For Mahayana cultivators, this was undoubtedly a dreadful curse.

Yet from ancient times to the present, none had been able to resolve it.

"In truth, it’s not entirely impossible, because the Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talisman is precisely an Immortal Realm Talisman."

"It’s said only Immortals of the Immortal Realm can fully master them."

"Yet Lord Alliance Leader has completely comprehended them, which fully proves how terrifying he is."

"So some suspect that Lord Alliance Leader is likely an Immortal Reincarnation who has awakened the memories of his past Immortal life."

"Only thus could he possess abilities that far surpass those of Mortal World cultivators."

Jiang Mo explained.

"So that’s how it is. If that’s the case, then it all makes sense."

Su Wangyue suddenly understood.

If he were a Mortal World cultivator, then accomplishing such feats would be nigh impossible.

But if he were an Immortal Reincarnation with the memories of his former Immortal self, then things became entirely different.

After all, as an Immortal of the Immortal Realm, mastering all sorts of special methods would be only natural.

There was nothing strange about it.

"In fact, during this time I’ve also heard some news from within the Mixed Element Alliance."

"It’s said that some ordinary cultivators have begun awakening memories—they are Reincarnated Immortals."

"It seems that over the past millennium, no one knows how many Reincarnated Immortals have already appeared."

"Even within our Mixed Element Alliance, there are quite a few."

"One could say that Reincarnated Immortals have begun appearing on a large scale."

Xiao Duan said in a deep voice.
