Chapter 313 - 186: Calamities Do Not Befall, Obtaining Seventh-Grade Opportunity_2

"Otherwise, I’ll have to be forced to join the Profound Celestial Sword Sect."

Jiang Fan said in a deep voice.

If joining the Profound Celestial Sword Sect could bring benefits, then he wouldn’t mind.

The problem is there aren’t many benefits, and there might be dangers.

So he’d rather politely decline.

Plus, he couldn’t afford to offend such a huge entity as the Profound Celestial Sword Sect now.

But if he couldn’t afford to offend it, could he not avoid it?!

"But husband, Spirit Turtle Island is far from here, right? How should we go there?"

Su Weiwei asked.

Because Spirit Turtle Island is overseas.

To reach Spirit Turtle Island, one not only needs to cross land but also the sea.

For a Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivator, it’s almost an impossible task.

There’s a high probability of dying halfway.

Of course, for Foundation Establishment Cultivators, it’s relatively less dangerous.

"Normally, to go to Spirit Turtle Island, you first need to reach Haikou City and Yuping City."

"Then take a boat from Yuping City to Spirit Turtle, which would take several months."

"But we’ll just fly directly to Spirit Turtle Island, no need for such hassle."

Jiang Fan said straightforwardly.

In fact, he had long learned from Elder Alchemist Wei Song how to reach Spirit Turtle Island.

Since there were no transportation tools between the two places, cultivators could only rely on flying.

After all, flying ships are quite expensive transportation tools.

They’re mainly used in big cities within the Profound Celestial Sword Sect to facilitate communication.

As for cities outside, it’s impossible for flying ships to reach.

As for teleportation arrays, don’t even think about it.

It’s an even more expensive mode of transport than flying ships.

They’re basically only found in cities of various Nascent Soul Sects.

So transportation in the Cultivation Realm is very difficult, with cultivators relying on their own flying abilities, which leads to cultivators being quite isolated and travel inconvenient.

However, there’s a silver lining to this situation.

And that is, turmoil in one place won’t affect another.

It’s like how the war in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range won’t affect the area around Xuanjian City.

This is the advantage of isolation between places.

"Long-distance flying?"

"Is your spiritual power sufficient, husband?"

Su Weiwei looked at Jiang Fan curiously.

She knew Foundation Establishment Cultivators could indeed fly in the air quickly.

But even Foundation Establishment Cultivators found it hard to fly for long because it consumed a lot of spiritual power and energy.

So the time they could fly each day was limited.

Especially if carrying another person, the flight speed would be even slower.

"This is not a problem at all, don’t worry."

Jiang Fan smiled slightly.

If it were ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators, it might not work.

But he was different; he cultivated the Mixed Element Talisman Scripture, making his spiritual power many times that of cultivators at the same level.

Exhausting his Primordial Spiritual Power was quite difficult.

In addition, he awakened his innate divine technique—Palm Wind, allowing him to control airflow instinctively.

When using Light Body Technique, the spiritual power consumption would be greatly reduced.

Simply put, he’s like a bird; flying has become his instinct, without causing any burden.

"Hmm."

Upon hearing this, Su Weiwei immediately felt reassured.

A day later.

Jiang Fan and Su Weiwei quickly packed their things and left Seven Stars Peak.

Of course, he informed nearby Foundation Establishment Cultivators that he would be going out on an adventure, and it would take a long time before he returned.

The others didn’t say much, as adventures are quite normal for Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Without going on adventures, there’s no chance of gaining opportunities.

Occasionally going on an adventure is only right.

But after a few days.

A group of Profound Celestial Sword Sect cultivators flew in sword formation and arrived at Seven Stars Peak.

They issued a conscription order.

Commanding Seven Stars Peak’s Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivators to join the Profound Celestial Sword Sect’s forces.

If anyone dared to resist, the order was to kill without mercy.

This left people like Fan Wenli looking ashen.

"Why so suddenly? Why didn’t the Profound Celestial Sword Sect announce conscription news earlier? Could it be that the war with the Shennong Sect is so devastating that they require help from us loose cultivators?"

Chang Lisheng gritted his teeth unwillingly; he naturally didn’t want to be forcibly conscripted by the Profound Celestial Sword Sect.

But now, the Profound Celestial Sword Sect was directly here; even if he wanted to flee, it was too late.

This caught everyone completely off guard.

Evidently, besides Elder Alchemist Wei Song, the other Foundation Establishment Cultivators couldn’t know this in advance; Elder Alchemist Wei Song’s unique network was an advantage others didn’t have.

"Alas, no idea. The situation probably doesn’t look good."

"Otherwise, why would the Profound Celestial Sword Sect forcefully conscript us loose cultivators?"

"They’re unwilling to see their disciples die, so they use us loose cultivators as cannon fodder."

Fan Wenli said angrily.

He wanted to desert immediately but held back thinking of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect’s reputation.

After all, he was just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Facing a Nascent Soul Sect’s deterrence, he dared not act rashly.

Over these years, the strength of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect has been deeply imprinted in every cultivator’s heart.

"But Fellow Daoist Jiang’s luck is overly good."

"Clearly, conscription came within days, but he suddenly went out exploring."

"He just happened to avoid this conscription."

"This feels like he knew in advance."

Yu Kelian’s eyes flickered, wondering if Jiang Fan had long known, and therefore escaped early.

Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental?

"Even if he knew in advance, so what."

"He’s not our close confidant."

"It’s quite normal that he didn’t tell us."

"No need to resent others."

"And the culprit of this is the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, not Fellow Daoist Jiang; clarity requires prioritization."

"Don’t be like those ordinary people, unable to offend the strong and venting anger on others."

Lian Minglan said calmly.

She owed Jiang Fan a favor, so she naturally spoke for him.

"You."

Yu Kelian’s face turned sour upon hearing this, but had nothing to say.

"Alright, alright, everyone is a Fellow Daoist here at Seven Stars Peak, why argue?"

"Moreover, we might be in the same team, needing mutual support later."

"More importantly, this might not be a bad thing."

"Although the Profound Celestial Sword Sect conscripted us, if we earn merits, we can exchange for precious treasures from them, like Spiritual Artifacts, Tier Two Elixirs, etc."

"With luck, we might gain an opportunity and rise quickly."

Elder Alchemist Wei Song stood out to mediate.

With limited Foundation Establishment Cultivators at Seven Stars Peak, starting infighting was unfavorable for everyone.

"Fellow Daoist Wei makes sense."

Many Foundation Establishment Cultivators felt relieved hearing this.

Being forcibly conscripted isn’t great, but it doesn’t spell certainty of doom.

With the Profound Celestial Sword Sect’s lead, they might not face much danger.

If cautious enough, merits could be gained.

Elder Alchemist Wei Song advanced like this, rising from a loose cultivator to Foundation Establishment.

Now he’s an Eighth-Layer Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Many loose cultivators can’t reach the achievements of Elder Alchemist.

... ...

Tens of days later.

Jiang Fan and Su Weiwei flew eastward.

Honestly, with Perfect Level Light Body Technique and the bloodline divine technique—Palm Wind, Jiang Fan was extremely fast, unmatched by Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the same level.

He soared like an eagle, effortlessly flying high.

The two crossed mountain ranges easily and reached the sea.

They saw the vast, boundless ocean in the distance.

Ships sailed across the ocean.

Clearly, many mortals and cultivators lived on the sea, fishing.

But Jiang Fan didn’t mind, continuing to fly.

Finally, they crossed thousands of kilometers and reached an island.

From afar, the island’s shape resembled a turtle.

A large city was built inside.

Many cultivators also lived here.

This was the Island of Loose Cultivators—Spirit Turtle Island.

It contained a Tier Three Spirit Vein, rich in spiritual qi.

Bang~

At this time, Jiang Fan sensed a message in his consciousness: "Successfully escaped the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, avoided a life-threatening danger, you have gained ten thousand Luck Points, and a Seventh-Grade Opportunity."
