Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World-Chapter 959 - 449: Immortal Beast Remains, Legacy from the Immortal Realm (2)
The Exotic Beasts value the blood of the Immortal Beast so much because their birth originates from this blood; deep within the Ice Crystal Mountain Range fell an Immortal Beast from the Immortal Realm.
If you do not take this seriously, the frenzied Exotic Beasts, in order to retrieve this drop of blood, will massacre every human camp in the Ice Crystal Mountain Range, exterminating all human cultivators."
"Destiny will offer you hints."
"Destiny Hint One: Though Low Tier Exotic Beasts are mindless wild beasts, once they advance to the Void Refining Level, they start developing intelligence akin to human beings.
You can choose to expose Daoist Chen’s whereabouts, using his life to quell the anger of the Exotic Beasts, thus calming the beast tide in the Ice Crystal Mountain Range.
However, one from a different race must harbor a different heart; even if Daoist Chen dies, the Exotic Beasts will still seek to annihilate the human camps in the Ice Crystal Mountain Range, for they will utterly disregard any human life to protect the secrets of the Ice Crystal Mountain Range."
"Destiny Hint Two: Daoist Chen was able to break through the Exotic Beasts’ blockade and infiltrate the depths of the Ice Crystal Mountain Range thanks to his Upper Grade Life Chart and ’Light Dust.’ With this Life Chart, he can decrease his presence, hide his aura, and not even Exotic Beasts can detect him, enabling his success with ease.
You may choose to rescue this Daoist Chen, taking him out of the Ice Crystal Mountain Range, away from the pursuit of the Exotic Beasts. However, Daoist Chen is selfish and ruthless, with a cold heart; even if you save him, he would not be grateful in the slightest.
Instead, he would seek opportunities to kill and steal treasures; many of his past companions met their end at his hands, so if you save him, be wary of Daoist Chen’s betrayal, as betrayal is but commonplace for him."
"Destiny Hint Three: Such a vile being is certainly unworthy of your salvation, and numerous human camps in the Ice Crystal Mountain Range, including the villages like Ice Lotus Village, were destroyed by Daoist Chen’s actions, yet he feels no guilt, envisioning more deaths to buy himself time to refine this drop of Immortal Beast blood.
Thus, you can choose to turn against him, kill this Daoist Chen, and seize the drop of Immortal Beast blood, which will undoubtedly bring you tremendous benefits.
However, simply killing Daoist Chen will not quell the beast tide, but you have a solution to bring this drop of Immortal Beast blood to Demon Flame City, a city of Demon Cultivators full of fearsome and ruthless individuals; they are as powerful as the Exotic Beasts of the Ice Crystal Mountain Range.
You can thus redirect the trouble, misleading the Exotic Beasts into believing the Immortal Beast blood was taken by Demon Flame City’s cultivators, causing the Exotic Beasts to cease attacking the human camps, while the two forces clash and weaken each other, allowing you to sit back and watch."
Perceiving this message of destiny hint, Jiang Fan’s pupils contracted, evidently perturbed by the overwhelming value of the information, so extensive that regular cultivators could hardly imagine.
Previously, he had speculated about the origins and extraordinary strength of the beasts in Ice Prison, far exceeding regular Exotic Beasts, with their mighty blood energy.
It now appears it all stems from the power of the Immortal Beast.
Due to an Immortal Beast’s fall, turning into a corpse and seized by Demon Beasts, gaining part of its vital essence, they have undergone mutations.
However, because the Immortal Beast contains an immense life essence beyond the capacity of ordinary Demon Beasts, they became mindless Exotic Beasts akin to wild beasts.
Once cultivation advances to the Void Refining Level, Exotic Beasts gradually begin mastering their vast internal power, and their intelligence develops.
"Is this the so-called ’a whale’s fall giving life to all things’?"
"A single Immortal Beast’s demise birthed countless Exotic Beasts."
"But the Ice Prison is teeming with Exotic Beasts."
"Does that imply there are numerous fallen Immortal Beast corpses in Ice Prison?"
Jiang Fan squinted.
He discerned that this piece of Immortal Prison dropped from the Immortal Realm conceals numerous secrets.
The corpses of Immortal Beasts alone are enough to tempt countless cultivators.
Bear in mind these are Immortal Beasts from the Immortal Realm, probably more powerful than regular True Spirits.
They are like dragons, with each part of them imbued with abundant life essence.
Even a drop of their blood could create many mighty beings.
The Exotic Beasts received part of this gift, hence their formidable strength.
Moreover, their numbers are growing incessantly.
No matter how human cultivators hunt them, the number of Exotic Beasts does not decrease but rather increases.
Like rabbit reproduction, utterly rampant.
Many human cultivators have fretted that if these Exotic Beasts keep proliferating, it won’t be long before they completely overrun Ice Prison.
After all, their reproductive capability vastly exceeds that of humans.
"No wonder the beast tide at the Ice Crystal Mountain Range has been incessant recently, due to Daoist Chen, perhaps?"
"This brat stealthily seized a drop of Immortal Beast blood, triggering a mass hunt by Exotic Beasts from the depths of the mountains, with Ice Lotus Village’s destruction probably connected to him."
Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered.
He believed he had uncovered the truth behind the beast tides of recent years.
Daoist Chen, exploiting his special ability, infiltrated the depths of the Ice Crystal Mountain Range and acquired a drop of Immortal Beast blood,
but alas, Daoist Chen failed to refine it quickly, causing the blood’s aura to leak and be discovered by many Exotic Beasts.
As expected, countless Exotic Beasts came swarming, obliterating one human camp after another.
Meanwhile, Daoist Chen escaped repeated pursuits with his ’Light Dust’ ability.
This guy remained unscathed, but the Ice Crystal Mountain Range’s human camps suffered.
Numerous human cultivators perished due to him.
The parents of his two disciples, along with relatives and friends, were harmed by Daoist Chen.
Just for this, Daoist Chen is beyond forgiveness.
"So the plan is to take the Immortal Beast blood to Demon Flame City?"
"Let the Exotic Beasts and Demon Flame City clash, fighting like cats and dogs."
"In any case, neither force is anything good."
"If both forces suffer losses, it would greatly benefit the various powers in this land."
"Indeed, this is a rather good solution."
Jiang Fan smiled slightly.
He naturally knew of Demon Flame City, a city of Demon Cultivators, known to all.
The Demon Cultivators from this city, each of them vicious and vile.
Countless have perished at the hands of Demon Flame City’s Demon Cultivators.
For instance, Blood Beast Daoist and Old Devil Soul Devourer, whom I killed, and Daoist Cold Cicada, who I caused to perish, all hailed from Demon Flame City.
The numerous cultivators across this land naturally wish to destroy Demon Flame City.
Unfortunately, Demon Flame City is extremely strong, guarded by two Body Integration Realm Demon Cultivators.
Just these two combined Demon Cultivators are enough to instill fear within countless cultivators.
Even Daoist Xuan Yuan is helpless against Demon Flame City, watching them act with impunity.
If we can use this opportunity to weaken Demon Flame City’s power, causing heavy losses to the Demon Cultivators, it would be an unprecedented good thing for righteous cultivators.
Moreover, it would allow Primordial Valley to gain more development time.
"Let’s first see where Daoist Chen is."
Jiang Fan thought, clicking Daoist Chen’s location information.
A light spot kept moving; after all, Daoist Chen was alive and hunted by Exotic Beasts, so there’s no way he’d foolishly remain in the same place for long periods.
Running continuously was the best choice for Daoist Chen.
Only this way could he survive.
"No way, can this be true or false."
"This guy is actually running toward Primordial Valley?!"
"What does this mean, delivering himself willingly?"
"No, with his character, he must want to use Primordial Valley as a scapegoat."
"Really what a nice fellow, I haven’t started troubling you yet, but you seek harm on my Primordial Valley."
"Indeed a scourge."
Jiang Fan’s eyes revealed a deep killing intent.
He watched Daoist Chen’s light spot rapidly approaching Primordial Valley.
Probably it won’t be long before he reaches Primordial Valley.
