Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1059 - 515: Return of the Ancient Sect, The Path to Ascension

"Interesting," Jiang Fan murmured, stroking his chin.

He quickly grasped the essence of the Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman. Its utility shares a striking resemblance with the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron and the Demon Refining Pot, as both can process varied minerals and biological forms. However, the Heaven-Collecting Gourd as an Immortal Artifact focuses specifically on the containment of fierce demons and bizarre monsters. Since the Immortal Realm contains many entities that defy traditional refining or destruction, the Heaven-Collecting Gourd serves as a permanent vessel for these vile, immortal beings. As long as the artifact remains intact, it can continuously suppress such terrifying manifestations of evil.

"If I utilize this spirit talisman, could I suppress those undead demons?" Jiang Fan pondered. While he already possessed the Qian Tian Ice Soul Pearl, which is capable of sealing demons, it was insufficient given the vastness of the Void Realm. Being only one person, he could not possibly travel to every corner of the world to offer rescue. However, mastering the Heaven-Collecting Gourd Talisman would allow him to mass-produce this spirit talisman. By deploying these through the disciples of the Primordial Talisman Sect, they could traverse the globe, sealing undead demons the moment they emerge and preventing them from wreaking havoc.

This is the true beauty of the talisman path. While magical treasures are limited by their scarcity, talismans are accessible, allowing them to be produced and utilized by many. That is why the path of talismans is a road of endless potential.

Boom. Without hesitation, Jiang Fan expended a massive quantity of Luck Points. A surge of mystical energy instantly integrated into the depths of his consciousness, granting him a total understanding of the Heaven-Collecting Gourd Talisman’s secrets. He fell into a state of profound meditation.

Two months drifted by in a flash. Through this extended period of focus, Jiang Fan fully digested the intricacies of the Heaven-Collecting Gourd Talisman. It merged seamlessly with his Primordial Spirit, etching a gourd-shaped mark deep within his soul as his next Lifebound Talisman. With a mere twitch of his willpower, he could now manifest this Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman at will.

"Done," Jiang Fan said with a faint, satisfied smile. Engraving a Lifebound Talisman had become routine for him, barely worth a second thought, yet obtaining such a powerful artifact added a significant trump card to his arsenal. He checked his virtual panel.

[Name: Jiang Fan] [Life Chart: Great Blessings Equal to Heaven, Attribute: Escaping Calamity, followed by blessings] [Lifespan: 1 million years] [Spirit Root: Celestial Spirit Root] [Luck Points: 240 million] [Wealth: 12 billion Spirit Stones, 2800 Immortal Stones] [Cultivation Technique: Soaring Snake Technique, Void Refining Chapter (Tier Six Early Stage)] [Cultivation Technique: Mixed Element Talisman Scripture, Sixth Layer] [Innate Divine Techniques: Emperor’s Gaze, Shrinking Earth into Inches, Palm Wind, Water Control, Soul Devourer, Seeing Me as Heaven, Annihilate Nine Clans] [Lifebound Talismans: Heaven-Suppressing Ring Talisman (Skilled), Heaven-Covering Wheel Talisman (Skilled), Heaven-Destroying Sword Talisman (Skilled), Heaven-Dominating Blade Talisman (Skilled), Heaven-Transforming Staff Talisman (Skilled), Heaven-Dependent Spear Talisman (Skilled), Heaven-Reaching Bridge Talisman (Skilled), Heavenly Glory Bracelet Talisman (Skilled), Celestial Respect Crown Talisman (Skilled), Celestial-Fighting Axe Talisman (Skilled), Celestial-Filling Furnace Talisman (Skilled), Heaven-Stealing Claw Talisman (Skilled), Heaven-Sealing Lock Talisman (Skilled), Heaven-Stealing Ladder Talisman (Skilled), Heaven-Crashing Blade Talisman (Skilled), Heaven-Time Talisman (Skilled), Heaven-Transforming Armor Talisman (Skilled), Heaven-Shaking Bell Talisman (Skilled), Heaven-Supporting Pillar Talisman (Skilled), Heaven-Collecting Gourd Talisman (Beginner)] [Realm: Second-Layer Void Refining (25%)] [Profession: Tier Six Low Grade Talisman Master (76%)]

His cultivation had clearly advanced. Progressing to 25% of the Second-Layer Void Refining in a mere two months would shock any of his peers. Ordinary cultivators at the Void Refining level often spend centuries of grueling work to achieve minor gains, which is reasonable given their ten-thousand-year lifespans. Jiang Fan, however, had the energy of the Profound Yellow Fruit to bypass that slow pacing. He had only utilized a quarter of its energy so far; completing the refinement would likely propel him to the Third-Layer Void Refining. The harvest from the Mist Mountain Range had been monumental; without the Profound Yellow Fruit Tree, his progress would have been significantly slower.

Boom. A sudden message echoed in his consciousness. "The world is undergoing a cataclysmic transformation. As Spiritual Energy returns, invaders from beyond will arrive. An ancient relic from the Thousand Illusion Sect—a sect that fled the Void Realm ages ago to occupy the Thousand Illusion Great World—is set to appear on an unnamed island within the Black Dragon Sea Region."
