Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1011 - 492: Ninth-Layer Divinity Transformation, The Path to Refining Void (2)
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
[Realm: Ninth-Layer Divinity Transformation (32%)]
[Profession: Tier Five Upper Grade Talisman Master (95%)]
It's undeniable that his cultivation advancement sped along at an incredible pace, growing even quicker with time.
In particular, his progress in cultivation surged to 32% within a single month, drawing ever closer to the pinnacle of Divinity Transformation.
With cultivation at perfection, he'll have the chance to push toward the Void Refinement Realm.
Without question, only as a Void Refining Cultivator can someone claim a solid position in the Spirit Ruins Realm.
Remaining at the level of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator simply lacks the necessary might.
Within the Spirit Ruins Realm, a Divinity Transformation Cultivator amounts to nothing more than a typical leader.
Aspiring to the role of general demands, at the very least, achieving the status of Void Refining Cultivator.
"I never imagined you'd climb to the Ninth-Layer of Divinity Transformation this rapidly."
"It's barely been a decade since your arrival from the Void Realm into the Spirit Ruins Realm."
"Your cultivation pace is staggeringly swift."
"Even during the Ancient Era in the Void Realm, such speed would astonish everyone."
Upon detecting Jiang Fan's existing cultivation base, the Primordial Talisman Pen found itself compelled to remark.
From its prior assessments, advancing to the Ninth-Layer of Divinity Transformation would require this youth a minimum of hundreds of years.
That rate alone qualified as remarkably rapid.
Unexpectedly, upon entering the Spirit Ruins Realm, this fellow's cultivation velocity turned downright terrifying.
In scarcely over ten years, he had soared to the Ninth-Layer of Divinity Transformation.
Continuing at this rate, he might breach into Void Refinement within just a few additional years.
Were it not for seeing it firsthand, it would never accept that a Divinity Transformation Cultivator could cultivate at such a blistering speed.
Likely, only a Child of Destiny might exhibit such a phenomenal cultivation velocity.
Yet in the present circumstances, this development proves highly advantageous.
After all, robust battle strength is vital for confronting the looming disasters ahead.
Particularly those horrifying disasters originating from the Void Realm.
"Elder Fu, what steps are needed to advance from Divinity Transformation to Void Refinement?"
Jiang Fan questioned.
Though he had studied numerous secrets about Void Refinement through ancient texts, the exact method for breakthrough into the Void Refinement Realm remained elusive to him.
An artifact of inheritance such as the Primordial Talisman Pen alone holds the knowledge for progressing from Divinity Transformation to the Void Refinement stage.
Grasping these secrets beforehand will surely provide immense help in his own ascent to Void Refinement.
"True, you haven't yet attained perfection in Divinity Transformation, but given your blazing cultivation speed, it won't be long."
"Telling you these details right now poses no problem."
"You could even begin preparing for the Void Refinement path immediately."
The Primordial Talisman Pen let out a sigh.
It had no intention of withholding information and planned to share everything within its knowledge.
"I'm listening closely."
Jiang Fan gazed toward the Primordial Talisman Pen.
"Breaking through to Void Refinement demands conquering multiple hurdles first."
"The initial one is the Primordial Spirit Barrier, of course."
"Without doubt, for entry into Void Refinement, the power of one's primordial spirit must possess sufficient strength to fuse with Heaven and Earth—or the Void itself."
"Should the primordial spirit lack the ability to sense the void, no method exists to enter Void Refinement."
"That said, your primordial spirit power already surpasses this requirement; this hurdle holds no challenge for you."
The Primordial Talisman Pen commented with clear admiration.
It hadn't anticipated that this youth's primordial spirit would prove so formidable. Despite being only at Divinity Transformation, his divine sense rivaled that of a Ninth-Layer Void Refining expert, an utterly exaggerated feat.
This offered tremendous advantages, however.
What served as a grueling Primordial Spirit Barrier for fellow cultivators, this youth breezed past effortlessly.
"And the subsequent challenge?"
Jiang Fan probed further.
"Following that comes the Physique Barrier."
"A robust physique proves essential for ascending to Void Refinement."
"Thus, after reaching Divinity Transformation, all such cultivators must engage in a Body Tempering Technique to fortify their physical form."
"Since entering Void Refinement involves integrating a thread of void energy into one's magical power."
"This process evolves the magical power into Void Refining Power."
"Yet this force boasts immense potency, far beyond what an ordinary physique can endure."
"Failing to bear it could lead to the body exploding and resulting in death."
The Primordial Talisman Pen clarified.
The Physique Barrier, is it?
Hearing this, Jiang Fan arched his brow, evidently understanding that physique's importance persisted even at the Void Refining stage.
His earlier practice of the Soaring Snake Technique had spared him vast amounts of arduous training time.
Had he delayed Body Tempering Technique until after Divinity Transformation, the wasted efforts would be immeasurable.
No surprise, then, that Divinity Transformation Cultivators often need millennia to advance into Void Refinement.
Pursuing Qi cultivation alongside body tempering demands an obvious expanse of time.
The resources expended become countless as well.
For this reason, even in a bountiful Great Thousand World like the Spirit Ruins Realm, Void Refining Cultivators remain comparatively scarce.
Upon successfully entering Void Refinement, one's standing skyrockets exponentially.
"With the ascent to Void Refinement being so arduous, do any elixirs exist to assist cultivators in this breakthrough?"
Jiang Fan inquired with curiosity.
"Yes, there are—known as the Void Spirit Pill."
"During the Ancient Era, this Tier Six Elixir gained widespread fame, primarily crafted from the ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine called Void Grass."
"This unique Spirit Medicine harbors void energy within it."
"Upon ingestion, it not only boosts a cultivator's primordial spirit power temporarily but also safeguards the physique."
"It protects against the erosive void power, averting bodily rupture and demise."
"Still, this elixir holds extraordinary rarity, beyond the reach of most cultivators."
"In today's era, Void Grass has probably vanished entirely."
"Yet within the abundant Spirit Ruins Realm, locating Void Grass shouldn't prove impossible."
"It's even feasible that someone offers the Void Spirit Pill for sale."
The Primordial Talisman Pen elaborated.
It's clear that aids from outside exist even for the transition from Divinity Transformation to Void Refinement.
The Void Spirit Pill stands as a famous elixir specifically for Void Refinement breakthroughs.
Regrettably, this elixir has faded into extinction within the Void Realm, rendering it unobtainable there.
However, the plentiful Spirit Ruins Realm might yield such elixirs.
Securing a Void Spirit Pill could elevate his breakthrough success rate to Void Refinement by a solid 30% at least.
Should the attempt fail, this pill could preserve the cultivator's life.
It might grant an opportunity for a subsequent breakthrough.
Thus, for those at Divinity Transformation Perfection, the Void Spirit Pill equates to an extra life.
Given the opportunity, countless Divinity Transformation Cultivators would empty their fortunes to acquire it.
"Void Spirit Pill, eh?"
"I ought to secure one if the chance arises."
Jiang Fan stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Reflecting on it, he recognized his ability to surmount these barriers with relative ease, even sans the Void Spirit Pill.
Nevertheless, possessing one would remain ideal.
After all, it adds yet another vital card to his arsenal.
If he finds no use for it, that's fine too.
Naturally, failing to obtain it wouldn't spell disaster; his own prowess suffices for breakthrough.
"Surpassing both the Primordial Spirit and Physique Barriers still leaves tribulations in wait."
"Namely, the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation and the Heart Demon Tribulation."
"These dual tribulations strike with utmost terror, and scant few cultivators endure them."
"Even across the Ancient Era's Void Realm, Void Refining Cultivators stayed somewhat rare."
"But succeeding in the ascent transforms one into an unchallenged powerhouse, bestowed with a lifespan of ten thousand years."
"It's akin to a direct path toward immortality, rendering one virtually timeless."
The Primordial Talisman Pen intoned gravely.
Evidently, entering Void Refinement demands far more than fulfilling cultivation criteria; surviving the tribulations is crucial.
This creates a formidable obstacle for numerous prodigies.
Even unparalleled geniuses approach the Void Refinement breakthrough with utmost wariness.
Otherwise, perishing amid a tribulation could obliterate both body and soul entirely.
"True enough, ascending to Void Refinement proves no simple feat."
"One must prepare meticulously prior to attempting the breakthrough into Void Refinement."
Jiang Fan agreed with a nod.
Following the Primordial Talisman Pen's detailed account, he gained a deeper comprehension of the journey to Void Refinement.
With full readiness, he could then venture the ascent to Void Refinement.
Judging by the hour, the moment to head back to the Void Realm had likely arrived.
After such a duration, that peculiar curse had utterly faded away.
