Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1071: Chapter 520: Becoming a Honored Guest Elder, The Mission of the Primordial Talisman Sect (2)

”What did the sect want you to do?”

Zhao Xuecheng continued to ask.

Basically, every sect cultivator needs to make contributions to the sect.

There is no cultivator who can remain idle.

Even honored guest elders are no exception.

”Actually, Lord Sect Master gave me several choices.”

”For example, managing the medicinal garden, exploring the Secret Realm World, guarding the Scripture Pavilion, and so on.”

”But after much consideration, I decided to go to the Southern Continent as a City Lord to develop the Southern Continent.”

”After all, the contribution points for this task would be a bit higher.”

”If I earn high enough contribution points, I might be able to exchange them for a Void Spirit Pill in the future.”

”It’s said that taking this elixir can increase the probability of advancing to Void Refining by thirty percent.”

Zhao Xuan clenched his fist, feeling extremely excited.

This was also the best news he learned after joining the Primordial Talisman Sect.

”No way, is it true or false?”

”There’s actually an elixir that helps cultivators advance to Void Refining?”

”Is that how those sect’s Void Refining cultivators achieved advancement?”

Zhao Xuecheng was dumbfounded.

He felt that he seemed to have discovered a huge secret of the sect.

”Isn’t this obvious?”

”Without relying on any elixirs, peerless geniuses who can advance to Void Refining are indeed very few.”

”Most cultivators are actually quite ordinary.”

”In such cases, naturally, elixirs are needed to aid in making continuous breakthroughs.”

”It can only be said that the foundation of the Primordial Talisman Sect is indeed unfathomable.”

”It even has elixirs like the Void Spirit Pill.”

Zhao Xuan lamented.

”But is there any danger going to the Southern Continent?”

”Merely guarding a city, and it requires a Divinity Transformation cultivator?”

Zhao Xuecheng was quite concerned about this point.

Normally, guarding a city, a Nascent Soul cultivator should be enough.

After all, a Nascent Soul cultivator can barely resist a Divinity Transformation cultivator by relying on the power of the grand array.

Having a Divinity Transformation cultivator guard the city seems like overkill.

”Actually, there isn’t much danger currently in the Southern Continent.”

”It’s said that the Lord Sect Master has already cleaned up that continent.”

”Numerous Divinity Transformation demon cultivators have been slain, and the remaining Divinity Transformation demon cultivators enslaved.”

”Overall, the Southern Continent isn’t very dangerous.”

Zhao Xuan comforted.

If this task were truly very dangerous, he wouldn’t be willing to do it.

Precisely because there’s not much danger, he is willing to take on this position.

He’s not a fool and certainly won’t become cannon fodder.

”If that’s the case, why does the sect still want you to go?”

Zhao Xuecheng felt quite puzzled.

”Naturally, it’s because of the hidden dangers in the Southern Continent.”

”Although Lord Sect Master indeed cleared the demon cultivators in the Southern Continent.”

”But you also know these demon cultivators have a strong ability to conceal themselves.”

”As long as they wholeheartedly want to hide, even Void Refining cultivators can’t find them.”

”Moreover, after the revival of Spiritual Qi, these demon cultivators grow extremely fast.”

”If not careful, it won’t take long for Divinity Transformation demon cultivators, even Refining Void demon cultivators, to appear.”

”However, Lord Sect Master is more worried about the revival of ancient demons.”

Zhao Xuan said with a solemn expression.

When he learned this news from Lord Sect Master, he was also quite shocked.

But he wasn’t too surprised.

Because previously, the Zhao Family once controlled the Wood Dragon Secret Realm, which sealed many demons and ancient demons inside.

If ancient demons do revive, it would be a natural situation.

”Ancient demons reviving?”

”Didn’t they die long ago? How can they revive?”

Zhao Xuecheng was suddenly shocked.

He originally thought those terrifying ancient demons had become part of history long ago.

But now it seems those old demons might be returning to this world?

”Haha, did you think the revival of Spiritual Qi is only good without any bad?”

”In fact, those ancient demons were never dead, just always asleep.”

”The reason they remained asleep largely was due to the suppression from the Heaven and Earth Laws.”

”This realm had thin Spiritual Qi.”

”For those ancient demons, it was like being in a desert.”

”They felt dried up, unable to devour much power, and unable to recover much strength.”

”But now the situation is different; Spiritual Qi is continually reviving.”

”When those ancient demons devour this Spiritual Qi, it’s like a person dying of thirst rapidly regaining vitality. Even if they recover just a little power, it’s not something ordinary cultivators can resist.”

Zhao Xuan explained.

To be honest, in the entire Black Dragon Sea Region, not many cultivators understand demons better than him.

Because he previously controlled the Wood Dragon Secret Realm, fighting with demons and ancient demons inside.

Also gathered a lot of intelligence about demons from inside.

Therefore, he’s very aware of the terrifying extent of ancient demons, nothing modern cultivators can compare to.

”Lord Sect Master knows so much, has he already encountered ancient demons?”

Zhao Xuecheng immediately thought of this.

Undoubtedly, if it weren’t for Lord Sect Master’s dealings with ancient demons and suffering losses, he probably wouldn’t be so cautious about ancient demons.

Perhaps some unknown things have happened in secret.

”You’re quite clever to think of this.”

”Indeed it is so, Lord Sect Master has indeed fought ancient demons.”

”And right in the Black Dragon Sea Region.”

Zhao Xuan said in a deep voice.

”How is it possible? I’ve always been in the Black Dragon Sea Region, why didn’t I feel anything?”

Zhao Xuecheng felt incredulous.

Because if ancient demons truly revived, it would certainly cause great disaster.

The problem was, not many cultivators perceived this.

”It’s quite normal because those two ancient demons escaped from the Demon Cave in the deep sea.”

”They only rampaged in the deep sea for a day before being discovered by Lord Sect Master.”

”So the power of ancient demons hadn’t affected human islands.”

”However, even for just one day, they killed millions of sea beasts in the deep sea.”

”Luckily, Lord Sect Master slew these two ancient demons.”

”Otherwise, who knows how many humans would’ve died or been injured.”

Zhao Xuan was startled when he heard this news before.

If it weren’t for the Primordial Talisman Sect arriving in this sea region, this area might have turned into the Demon Realm.

Then no humans would survive here.

This place would also completely become a playground for demons.

”No wonder the sect spares no effort in cultivating cultivators.”

”I suspect it’s all to cope with the immense calamity in the future.”

Zhao Xuecheng immediately realized this.

Previously, he was puzzled by many of the sect’s plans, feeling the sect was too good to ordinary cultivators.

Moreover, strong defensive arrays were built on every island and city.

This effort, time-consuming and labor-intensive, defies common sense.

Now it seems these actions were to deal with future demonic calamities.

Because you never know where those demons will appear, where they will revive.

Thus, they can only place many cultivators in one city after another.

Meanwhile, cities also build strong defensive arrays.

In this way, even if encountering demons, there would be some resistance.

At least able to hold until sect reinforcements arrive.

”Yes, the revival of Spiritual Qi in the Void Realm is both an opportunity and a disaster.”

”If not handled well, it might end up with total annihilation.”

”That’s why the Primordial Talisman Sect acts as a precaution.”

”It’s undeniable that Lord Sect Master’s actions are indeed far-sighted.”

Zhao Xuan said in a deep voice.

He felt that if it weren’t for this, the Primordial Talisman Sect might not have been willing to make him an honored guest elder.

If it were peace times, he wouldn’t easily gain the sect’s approval.

But in wartime, lacking manpower, it doesn’t matter whether one is loyal or not.

As long as they can be used as workhorses, it’s fine.

”In that case, Grandpa, going to the Southern Continent as City Lord may not be entirely safe.”

Zhao Xuecheng was worried.

”It’s okay, is there any way to gain benefits without taking risks in this world?”

”Compared to other tasks, this one is already safe enough.”

”Of course, there are even safer tasks, but unfortunately, they give too few contribution points, and have no meaning.”

Zhao Xuan smiled slightly.

After all, he has ambitions and wants to advance to Void Refining, so he must take risks.
