Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1020 - 496: Obtaining the Soaring Snake Technique Void Refining - , a Great Harvest_2

A handful of direct lineage members barely managed to flee.

Those who refused to yield among the remainder faced nothing but destruction.

Consequently, the whole Black Dragon Sea Region fell under the control of the Primordial Talisman Sect, secured as tightly as a fortress.

The Primordial Talisman Sect reaped substantial gains and an abundance of cultivation resources from the Black Dragon Sea Region.

Yet, due to this dominance, any turmoil in the Black Dragon Sea Region would jeopardize the Primordial Talisman Sect's advantages.

"Is it possible that an ancient demon lies sealed within the Black Dragon Sea Region?"

Jiang Fan inquired with curiosity.

Truth be told, his time spent in the Black Dragon Sea Region had been limited.

He also lacked deep knowledge of this oceanic domain.

When it came to insights about the Black Dragon Sea Region, Lu Youyou likely surpassed him.

"Indeed, there is one."

"Legend has it that it's confined in the ocean's depths, once the domain of the Poisonous Scale Flood Dragon Race."

"This area was originally protected by the Poisonous Scale Flood Dragon Race."

"That spot is known as the Demon Cave, a sinister demonic lair submerged in the sea."

"However, the sealing restriction array around the Demon Cave has lately started to fade in power."

"The demonic aura emanating from inside grows ever more intense."

"Should this trend persist, that ancient demon could break free."

Lu Youyou explained with a sense of resignation.

Undoubtedly, should that ancient demon truly break loose, the initial victims would be the myriad creatures inhabiting the Black Dragon Sea Region.

The death toll among living beings would be unimaginable.

"The Black Dragon Sea Region harbors such a hidden peril."

"It's no surprise it served as a True Dragon's dwelling; it conceals numerous mysterious sites."

"Still, in the near future, that ancient demon likely won't manage to escape, correct?"

Jiang Fan stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"Yes, escape seems unlikely for now."

"By my reckoning, the seal should endure for at least a decade or two more."

"Beyond that timeframe, nothing can be guaranteed."

Lu Youyou shook her head.

She had personally visited the Demon Cave to inspect it.

Demonic qi permeated that location densely.

Yet, the cave's entrance remained barricaded by multiple layers of restriction arrays.

Regardless of the ancient demon's fury inside, breakout remained impossible.

Thus, for the immediate period, the Demon Cave posed no imminent threat.

"That's reassuring."

"Rushing leads to failure."

"Without sufficient power, confronting that ancient demon is futile."

"It's wiser to first achieve a breakthrough via the Soaring Snake Technique."

Jiang Fan stated gravely.

He yearned to confront that ancient demon, no doubt.

But charging ahead without power would invite certain doom.

Therefore, he chose to bide his time and bolster his cultivation.

"Agreed."

Both Su Weiwei and Lu Youyou nodded in concurrence.

Their views aligned on this.

Should overpowering that ancient demon prove impossible, fleeing would serve as a viable alternative.

Preserving one's life takes precedence above all.

"Are the demons on the verge of resurgence too?"

"If so, the uncanny forces may begin to awaken as well."

"Advance preparations are essential."

"Strive to reach the Void Refinement stage swiftly."

"Lest the successive calamities overwhelm you."

"The techniques of those uncanny entities are utterly horrifying."

At that moment, the Human Emperor Sword's voice echoed in Jiang Fan’s sea of consciousness, issuing a caution.

It had already perceived fragments of the Void Realm’s impending future.

With the spiritual qi revival progressing in the Void Realm, the demons and uncanny beings restrained by the Heavenly Dao Laws would slowly shatter their bindings.

Outwardly, the spiritual qi's ebb in the Void Realm diminishes the strength of local cultivators.

In reality, however, it safeguards the teeming lives across the Void Realm, enabling survival for innumerous entities.

After all, absent the spiritual qi's decline and the resulting law suppressions, those primordial uncanny and ancient demons would have ravaged the world long ago.

Without that, the Void Realm could scarcely remain vibrant with life today.

Regrettably, this merely delays the inevitable demise.

For the Tree of Eternal Life relentlessly drains the Origin Energy of the Void Realm.

Unless the Void Realm mounts a desperate resistance, it will inevitably be wholly devoured by the Tree of Eternal Life.

This stands as the Void Realm’s ultimate stand.

It will undoubtedly claim the lives of countless beings.

Yet, failing to act would doom the entire realm to oblivion.

"Understood."

Jiang Fan remained silent; he hadn't anticipated receiving such dire tidings upon his return to the Void Realm.

Luckily, his expedition to the Spirit Ruins Realm had propelled his cultivation forward swiftly, propelling him to the Ninth-Layer Divinity Transformation.

In truth, Void Refinement lay within his grasp.

Furthermore, thanks to the Spiritual Energy Revival, the Void Realm no longer imposed restrictions on Void Refining Cultivators.

Thus, progression to the Void Refinement Realm remained feasible within the Void Realm, obviating the need for a journey to the Spirit Ruins Realm.

......

One day passed.

Following several days of companionship, Jiang Fan, Su Weiwei, and Lu Youyou had eased their pent-up yearnings.

After all, as cultivators, they practiced self-control.

Before long, Jiang Fan retreated into seclusion anew, dedicating himself to cultivation, for romance must wait.

He delved repeatedly into the Void Refining Chapter of the Soaring Snake Technique.

"The Void Refining Chapter of the Soaring Snake Technique is essentially the Blood Transformation Chapter."

"At this stage, cultivation demands fusing ten thousand Soaring Serpent Runes into the bloodstream."

"Upon success, the mundane blood transforms into divine blood."

"This yields boundless advantages for the cultivator."

Jiang Fan sat cross-legged upon the floor.

After a full day of contemplation, he had unraveled numerous secrets within the Void Refining Chapter of the Soaring Snake Technique.

This enhanced his comprehension of the True Spirit Technique profoundly.

Spanning the Mortal Chapter, Qi Cultivation Chapter, Foundation Establishment Chapter, Golden Core Chapter, Nascent Soul Chapter, Divinity Transformation Chapter, and reaching the Void Refining Chapter now.

This True Spirit Technique systematically refines the cultivator’s body.

It represents a peerless method to elevate mortals toward True Spirits, brimming with infinite enigmas and profound intricacies.

Nevertheless, its cultivation demands are daunting enough to deter most.

Typical cultivators falter at the Mortal Chapter, finding further advancement nearly unattainable.

"To reach Void Refining, one must master the Divinity Transformation Chapter to perfection."

"This entails embedding three thousand Soaring Serpent Runes into the bone marrow."

"Achievement here enables communion with Bloodline Power, vital for breaching the Void Refinement Realm."

"This poses no challenge for me."

"Heavenly Dao’s boon equates to an array of Body Tempering Spirit Medicines aiding me."

"I require no additional Body Tempering Spirit Medicine at present."

"Mobilizing this Origin Energy alone suffices to support the Soaring Snake Technique's practice."

Jiang Fan balled his fists.

He perceived the boundless marvels of this Heavenly Dao-derived Origin Energy, which appeared all-encompassing.

It not only amplifies internal magical powers but also profoundly aids physical metamorphosis.

What's more, this Origin Energy's vastness ensures ample support for his Void Refinement breakthrough.

Rumble~~

With this realization, Jiang Fan wasted no time, plunging straight into the Soaring Snake Technique's cultivation.

His awareness plunged into the bone marrow's core.

Guided by his awareness, he commenced fusing the Soaring Serpent Runes embedded in his bone marrow.

Inscribing these runes inevitably inflicts severe harm to the bone marrow.

Ordinarily, spirit medicines must be ingested to hasten bone marrow recovery.

Only afterward can the inscription of the subsequent rune proceed.

This repetitive process continues until all three thousand Soaring Serpent Runes are inscribed completely.

Hence, cultivation in this realm often spans centuries or millennia, which is commonplace.

Yet, Jiang Fan simply willed it, and threads of Origin Energy surged from his consciousness sea's depths.

This served as the ultimate restorative force.

In mere instants, the injured marrow mended fully.

Furthermore, it emerged tougher than prior, infused with richer Life Force.

At the same time, the marrow incorporating the Soaring Serpent Runes radiated golden gleams, hinting at divine essence.

This fortified his physique beyond its previous state.

Through persistent accumulation over time, his body would inevitably ascend to a superior level.

"At this pace, within a year at most, I can strive for a Tier Six breakthrough."

Jiang Fan brimmed with excitement.

He noticed that upon reentering the Void Realm, his cultivation progress hadn't decelerated but accelerated markedly.

It felt as if an immense, enigmatic force enveloped him, propelling his cultivation onward without cease.
