Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1033 - 502: Obtaining the Immortal Artifact Qiantian Ice Soul Pearl, Ancient Cultivator_2
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
Indeed, leaving these bodies of demons exposed would definitely corrupt an enormous expanse of the ocean.
They could potentially spawn a horde of demons and practitioners of demonic arts.
For typical cultivators, handling such demon remains poses a massive challenge.
Yet for Jiang Fan, it's far less of a hassle; he possesses the skill to transform refuse into valuables by refining those demon bodies.
"How could this be?"
"If you slew them, how did you survive?"
"Those forms harbor a dreadful curse."
"Not even mighty experts can withstand its effects."
As it gazed upon the demon corpses retrieved by Jiang Fan, inside the Qianti Ice Soul Pearl surged tides of shock, its feelings a whirlwind of complexity.
Across endless ages of existence, these nightmarish demons had been felled by this very person?!
Furthermore, their demise was absolute without question.
This feat had eluded even the combined efforts of many formidable experts before.
After all, those experts dreaded the curse embedded in the demons.
Should they fall alongside these fiends, nothing would remain to protect the Void Realm.
Thus, sealing the demons emerged as the optimal choice.
"I possess certain techniques that neutralize the curse."
"Hence, the curse inside the demons holds no sway over me."
Uttered Jiang Fan with composure.
"Ah."
"It's clear now why you refined me so effortlessly."
"With your capabilities, you are indeed worthy to claim me as your master."
The Qianti Ice Soul Pearl drew in a profound breath.
It swiftly comprehended the remarkable nature of this human cultivator standing before it.
Quite possibly the destined Child of the Void Realm's current age.
Aligning with such a pivotal being would in no way tarnish its standing.
"Daoist Xue Xue of antiquity stationed you here, likely due to your special power."
Inquired Jiang Fan.
"Exactly, my power allows me to encase all in ice."
"These demons are profoundly fearsome, each one virtually unkillable, boasting bodies that regenerate endlessly."
"And should you manage to slay them, the curse they carry remains unbearable for normal cultivators."
"Cultivators from the ancient times invested immense labor to confront these demons."
"Yet unable to destroy them, they resorted to imprisonment."
"Maybe hoping the flow of time would gradually drain their vitality to extinction."
"I, the Qianti Ice Soul Pearl, wield the precise ability to imprison demons."
"That's precisely why Daoist Xue Xue placed me here."
"So that should these two demons escape their bonds someday,"
"cultivators of the future might harness my might to encase them once more."
"But I never anticipated you slaying them outright, without needing my aid."
Expressed the Qianti Ice Soul Pearl, brimming with profound sentiment.
It sensed this upcoming cultivator's strength bordered on the absurd.
Without invoking its power at all, he dispatched these two horrifying demons.
Such an accomplishment lies beyond the reach of average cultivators.
And it remained ignorant of the exact techniques and prowess this human cultivator employed.
Besides, it perceived his physique at merely the early phase of Tier Six.
His Qi Cultivation lingered at the pinnacle of Divinity Transformation.
To vanquish two mighty demons at that level was utterly unimaginable.
Even during ancient epochs, it would rank as a legendary miracle.
"I understand."
Jiang Fan acknowledged with a nod.
The fact remains, this flawed Immortal Artifact, the Qianti Ice Soul Pearl, serves as an unparalleled tool against demons.
Upon activation, it can immobilize demon after demon in frost.
Even with their regenerative bodies, it proves futile.
Once frozen solid, they present zero danger to the Void Realm.
Moreover, the curse holds no relevance since they remain alive in suspension.
The demons' vital essence is finite too.
Over the relentless march of time, these demons will see their vitality eroded away.
In truth, the majority of imprisoned demons have long since perished.
Nevertheless, ancient fiends like the blood-eating fish demon and the shadowy fish demon cling to life with unyielding tenacity, though their cultivation has waned greatly and demands time for restoration.
Viewed differently, any ancient demon enduring the ravages of time to persist today must be extraordinarily formidable, capable of shattering realms.
"Incidentally, Daoist Xue Xue also deposited certain treasures."
"Regrettably, the span of years has been overly vast."
"Countless spiritual items have succumbed to time's erosive force."
"Thus, only two thousand Immortal Stones remain."
"So I trust you won't hold it in contempt."
In that instant, the Qianti Ice Soul Pearl conveyed with regret.
It extracted a complete set of two thousand Immortal Stones from within, laying them out before Jiang Fan.
At once, the stacked two thousand Immortal Stones radiated abundant Immortal Qi.
Consequently, the whole Demon Cave found itself immersed in Immortal Qi, manifesting as a paradise of spiritual abundance.
"Two thousand Immortal Stones?!"
"No disdain at all, absolutely none."
Hearing this, Jiang Fan stood stunned, scarcely able to trust what his eyes beheld.
Across his ventures in the Spirit Ruins Realm, despite myriad fortunes, he had gathered merely eight hundred Immortal Stones.
Here, though, the Qianti Ice Soul Pearl casually produced two thousand Immortal Stones in one go, a display of immense opulence.
Undeniably, during its zenith, the Void Realm's riches surpassed the Spirit Ruins Realm by leagues.
Even in decline, a wrecked vessel retains its iron fittings.
Leveraging these two thousand Immortal Stones, he could hasten his progress to the apex of Divinity Transformation.
Soon after, ascension to Refining Void would follow swiftly.
This confrontation marked merely the onset.
No soul could predict the quantity of Ancient Demons confined within the Void Realm.
He stood alone.
Without rapidly bolstering his cultivation, should all those Ancient Demons erupt free, an unimaginable disaster might engulf the Void Realm.
Urgency burned fiercely within his core.
Whoosh!
With this realization, Jiang Fan wasted no time, promptly traversing the Gate of the Void back to the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm.
He commenced his closed-door cultivation, resolved to disregard worldly distractions.
His personal advancement in cultivation overshadowed all else.
......
Meanwhile, atop Primordial Peak.
Su Weiwei and Lu Youyou inevitably heard of Jiang Fan's homecoming.
Likewise, they uncovered how their spouse had directly subdued two Ancient Demons.
"Unbelievable, he truly eliminated the Blood-eating Fish Demon and the Shadow Fish Demon?"
"Precisely how did he accomplish it?"
"In the Ancient Era, those two fiends gained infamy, butchering innumerous cultivators."
"Even back then, numerous Great Powers sacrificed dearly."
"It was only through that that they finally got sealed."
"But a single human cultivator managed to kill them?"
Faced with this report, the Taiyin Jade Rabbit, Yueque, froze in astonishment.
It had presumed that personal involvement from that human cultivator might at best result in resealing; outright slaying them bordered on the unattainable.
Yet this improbable deed had transpired.
It lay utterly outside its foresight, leaving it utterly perplexed at the manner of occurrence.
"It's genuinely astonishing."
"But yes, our husband pulled it off."
"He even retrieved their remains."
"This instance saw not one, but two Ancient Demons escaping."
"Thank goodness the husband intervened promptly, sparing countless souls from tragic ends."
Declared Su Weiwei, her voice laced with fervent admiration.
She struggled to fathom two Ancient Demons emerging simultaneously.
Were it another cultivator, suspicion would never arise.
However, with the husband's direct action, even concealed threats came to light.
Furthermore, he dispatched them both, a feat of staggering prowess.
Still, to the husband, it might count as just a routine matter.
"Without question."
"Should you grasp the tactics of the Blood-eating Fish Demon and the Shadow Fish Demon, you'd grasp the sheer improbability."
"They earn the title of undying demons."
"A mere hint of carelessness would render slaying them unfeasible."
"I misjudged this human cultivator severely."
"Even in ancient days, this one must have been a Great Power, rivaling or surpassing True Spirits."
At present, the Taiyin Jade Rabbit, Yueque, fully embraced the reality.
While most humans prove feeble, from time to time arises an exceptional outlier.
Such outliers boast aptitudes and fighting skills equaling, or even exceeding, those of True Spirits.
Like the Taixu Sect's founding figure, who embodied such excellence.
"Husband is now engaged in secluded cultivation."
"Upon its conclusion, he ought to ascend properly to Refining Void."
Su Weiwei voiced with keen expectation.
