Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

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.”
