If the demons inside escape, it could be a catastrophe for living beings.
At the same time, the Yiling Secret Realm also holds significant opportunities and secrets.
However, one must at least be at the Divinity Transformation level to be qualified to explore it.
"No, better to go to the Black Dragon Sea Region."
"By comparison, the resources in the Black Dragon Sea Region are more abundant."
"More importantly, it seems the Divinity Transformation cultivators in the Black Dragon Sea Region have disappeared."
"Now, that region is a paradise for Nascent Soul cultivators."
Jiang Fan's heart stirred, suddenly feeling that the Black Dragon Sea Region was a better destination.
After all, there are many human race cultivators in the Black Dragon Sea Region.
If he could enslave some Golden Core cultivators, even Nascent Soul cultivators, it would instantly increase the strength of the Primordial Talisman Sect.
Just training disciples takes too much time; it's better to directly enslave existing cultivators.
This would save a great deal of training time.
He could even enslave some demon cultivators in the Black Dragon Sea Region for multiple gains.
Mysteriously, he perceived that the Black Dragon Sea Region surely contained great opportunities.
"Then let's go back to the Black Dragon Sea Region first."
Jiang Fan immediately made the decision; after all, he had left a spatial coordinate in the Black Dragon Sea Region, making it easy for him to return.
...
One day later.
Jiang Fan traveled through the Gate of the Void, returning to the Black Dragon Sea Region, near the Zhu Family Territory of the Golden Core clan.
He had been away from the Black Dragon Sea Region for almost a dozen years, unsure of how the Zhu Family had developed.
Swoosh!
At this time, Jiang Fan appeared on a deserted island in the Zhu Family Territory.
Surrounded by a vast ocean stretching endlessly.
Although he hadn't returned to the Black Dragon Sea Region for over a decade, the scenery of this sea remained unchanged.
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here was comparable to the Western Continent, with countless cultivation resources.
The reason there are so few Divinity Transformation cultivators is due to the scarcity of high-tier resources here.
Whereas the Western Continent has many Divinity Transformation cultivators due to numerous True Spirit Secret Realms providing rare cultivation resources from the Ancient Era, birthing many Divinity Transformations.
In terms of low-tier cultivators, the Black Dragon Sea Region and Western Continent are quite similar, maybe even more in the Black Dragon Sea Region.
After all, the Black Dragon Sea Region is many times larger than the Western Continent.
"Let's first check with the Zhu Family."
With this thought, Jiang Fan's figure flashed, flying toward Zhu Family Island.
After all, the Zhu Family could be considered his affiliated power, and through them, he could learn about events in the Black Dragon Sea Region, facilitating understanding of the local situation to avoid many dangers.
Not long after, he arrived at Zhu Family Island.
"Hmm? Why are there so few Zhu Family cultivators?"
Jiang Fan swept his Spiritual Sense lightly over Zhu Family Island, discovering that compared to a dozen years ago, the cultivators residing there had greatly diminished.
Many familiar faces had vanished, and the whole seemed weakened significantly.
With this realization, he signaled for the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Zhu Family Island to come over.
"Master, you have finally returned."
Immediately, the five Foundation Establishments of the Zhu Family approached: Zhu Junxiu, Zhu Xi, Zhu Shuo, Zhu Yantong, and Zhu Tianing. They cried with tears of joy at seeing Jiang Fan, deeply moved.
"What's going on? Why has the Zhu Family become like this?"
"Wasn't the Zhu Family a vassal of the Divinity Transformation Zhao Family, even serving a Zhao Family Nascent Soul?"
Jiang Fan's eyebrows furrowed as he asked.
"Master, that Zhao Family Nascent Soul is simply a beast."
"That bastard treated our Zhu Family as cannon fodder."
"For over a dozen years, the Zhu Family served that Zhao Family Nascent Soul with all efforts but to our demise."
"Even Zhu Bin and several Foundation Establishment Elders died in war."
"Golden Core cultivator Zhu Han also perished in a battle."
"But when that Zhao Family Nascent Soul saw our Zhu Family losing its value, he abandoned us."
"Even more outrageously, Zhao Family increased our Zhu Family's taxes."
"Clearly intending to squeeze our Zhu Family dry."
Foundation Establishment Elder Zhu Xi spoke through gritted teeth, filled with hateful indignation toward that Zhao Family Nascent Soul, a grievance that all rivers couldn't wash away. These dozen years have been miserable for the Zhu Family, bordering extinction.
"I see."
Listening to these words, Jiang Fan nodded.
From the narratives of these Zhu Family Foundation Establishments, he understood what had transpired in the Black Dragon Sea Region in the last dozen years. After he left, internal chaos erupted in the human race territory.
Especially the Divinity Transformation Zhao Family started wars, as many Nascent Souls sought power, sparking territorial skirmishes.
Many cultivator clans, even unwilling, were dragged into this conflict.
So was the Zhu Family.
Even the only Golden Core cultivator of the Zhu Family, Zhu Han, had long since become an Honored Guest Elder of a Zhao Family Nascent Soul.
The result was predictable; the war in the Black Dragon Sea Region was brutal, with many cultivators falling each year.
Initially, the Zhu Family reaped some gains.
But after a fierce battle, the Zhu Family lost five Foundation Establishment Elders and one Golden Core cultivator.
The Zhu Family then declined, becoming a Foundation Establishment Clan, no longer a Golden Core Clan.
Consequently, the Zhao Family Nascent Soul's attitude shifted, deeming the Zhu Family unhelpful.
Then came relentless exploitation, increasing taxes annually.
To meet these heavy taxes, the Zhu Family suffered greatly, left with minimal cultivation resources.
At this rate, extinction looms over the Zhu Family.
Therefore, Jiang Fan's return filled them with joy.
They felt the Zhu Family's pillar was finally back.
"The Black Dragon Sea Region is indeed a chaotic mess."
Jiang Fan stroked his chin.
Leaving the Black Dragon Sea Region back then proved wise; staying would have meant risking survival with just Golden Core Cultivation in such tumult.
Without sufficient strength, even if one obtained opportunities, they couldn't guarantee them.
"Master, this Black Dragon Sea Region is a treasure ground for our Primordial Talisman Sect."
"If we could unify this region, its resources would belong to our sect."
The Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace spoke excitedly.
It believed such turmoil was the opportune time for heroes to rise.
In peaceful times, the Divinity Transformation Zhao Family dominated, leaving no room for other forces.
But now, it provides the opportunity to unify the human race territory.
Moreover, it felt its master's strength could accomplish this with ease.
"No rush, unifying the Black Dragon Sea Region requires more than Nascent Soul cultivators."
"At least Divinity Transformation cultivators are needed to unify and be unchallenged."
"However, seizing treasures in chaos is feasible."
Jiang Fan smiled slightly.
He felt no urgency over unifying the Black Dragon Sea Region.
Without enough strength, even a forced unification would leave many hidden dangers.
Should he become a Divinity Transformation cultivator, unification would be only a thought.
For cultivators, the most crucial aspect is Cultivation, personal strength.
Boom~~
At this moment, deep in Jiang Fan's Elixir Field and Sea of Qi, the Fortune-Telling Talisman began to vibrate, buzzing, as a flood of information poured instantly into his consciousness.
"Monstrous chaos, disaster whirlpool, voluntarily enter disaster, blessings follow."
"Leave Zhu Family Island, avoid disaster, nothing gained, mediocre."
"Stay on Zhu Family Island, voluntarily face disaster, and attain a Third-Grade Opportunity, unharmed, great fortune."
Perceiving this information, Jiang Fan's pupils contracted. He was surprised the information provided by the Fortune-Telling Talisman was so straightforward, consisting of just two options.
Leave or stay.
Neither choice posed any danger to him.
Undoubtedly, after advancing to the First-Layer Nascent Soul, his strength surged.
Threatening calamities had decreased significantly.
Thus, this was quite normal.
However, he hadn't anticipated that this disaster could yield a Third-Grade Opportunity, which was astonishing.
"A Third-Grade Opportunity, really?"
"Could the enemies attacking Zhu Family Island hold enormous Opportunity?"
"If so, there's no reason to flee."
"It seems Zhu Family Island is indeed my Land of Blessings."
"Having just returned to the Black Dragon Sea Region, securing a Third-Grade Opportunity is wonderful."
Jiang Fan smiled slightly, eagerly anticipating.
