Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1229 - 565: Shi Ping’an’s Century of Growth, the Child of Fortune’s Opportunity (Part 2)

Those runes are not carved; they’re more like natural imprints, with lines ancient and eerie, emanating the obscure charm of a Divine Beast—usually concealed beneath the skin, only faintly glowing with a golden sheen. Once his aura surges, the runes abruptly light up, like red-hot brands embedded in the flesh, intertwined with the muscle patterns of his entire body, adding an ominous and wild intimidation.

His hair remains unbound, his unruly black hair sprawls like a lion’s mane over his shoulders, with twigs and beast blood clinging to the ends; his brows are rugged, brow bones protruding, eyes dark amber, sweeping through with a beast-like ferocity and untamed spirit, as if about to devour someone the next moment.

He wears only a few rough beast hides, not enough to cover his entire muscular frame. As he walks, the tremor of his muscles carries a crushing momentum, enveloped in a dense wild aura: the stench of Fierce Beasts’ roars, the soil breath of ancient woods decay, and the pressure of ancient barbarian gods settled in his veins. He seems not like a cultivator pursuing the Heavenly Dao, but rather a warrior god from the ancient wild era able to shake mountains and split seas with a lift of his hand, and shatter the sky with a step.

Evidently, this person is Shi Ping’an.

After centuries of cultivation, he’s long since ceased to be the small boy and has grown into a true warrior.

Over the years, he’s lost count of how many times he’s fought against demons.

The numerous scars on his body are his battle achievements over the years.

However, Shi Ping’an being here is just an accident.

To evade the pursuit of a powerful demon, he hid in one of the secret caves within the Cyan Stone Mountain Range.

Who knew this cave actually concealed an Ancient Teleportation Array.

By sheer coincidence, he unintentionally activated this Teleportation Array, which led him here, resulting in a series of accidents.

But Shi Ping’an soon discovered that arriving here was his opportunity.

Because this is the estate of a Human Race Integration Cultivator named Lan Hu Daoist.

The person had once left a Teleportation Array near the Cyan Stone Mountain Range for convenient travel between two places.

However, by now, the person has passed away, the Cyan Stone Mountain Range has been taken over by demons, so no one discovered this Teleportation Array until Shi Ping’an arrived and finally activated it.

Then he was transported into Lan Hu Daoist’s estate.

And this estate contained all the wealth of this Ancient Era Integration Cultivator.

One could say this is a huge opportunity, practically making him rich overnight.

”Lan Hu had once been half-human, half-demon, cultivated to Ninth-Layer Integration.”

”Unfortunately, no matter what, he could not ascend to Mahayana.”

”Finally, during a breakthrough, he fell into a demon way and died.”

”Consequently, leaving behind a vast inheritance.”

”This wasn’t intended as treasures left for future cultivators, just an accidental event.”

Shi Ping’an stroked his chin, meticulously evaluating his gains.

Honestly, he feels that since advancing to Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation, his luck has seemingly improved.

Just casually going to a place, he can find opportunities, thereby accelerating his growth.

It’s almost as if receiving protection from the Heavenly Dao itself.

”Kid, your luck is indeed favorable.”

”This Integration Cultivator left behind many elixirs and spirit medicine.”

”Though many have expired due to time, losing their medicinal power.”

”The remaining medicinal power can still help you swiftly advance to Void Refinement Realm.”

At this moment, a voice rang out from the depth of his consciousness sea.

Speaking was an Immortal Artifact — the Sky-Splitting Staff.

This was what Shi Ping’an accidentally obtained somewhere in the Cyan Stone Mountain Range.

He seems to have earned the recognition of this Immortal Artifact, and signed a contract with it.

And the power of this Immortal Artifact is terrifying.

As long as he holds the Sky-Splitting Staff, with one strike down, no matter what demon or demon creature, it would be killed with one strike, shattered, this kind of Immortal Artifact is very suited for a Body Refining Cultivator like him.

It was precisely because of obtaining this Immortal Artifact that Shi Ping’an’s combat power has soared dramatically over a hundred years.
