Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1109 - 538: Innate Divine Power—Great Dream Through the Ages, Contract Spirit Beast_2
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
"Once unleashed, it ensnares foes within a dream realm."
"The greater the memories held by the caster, the more horrifying the might of this divine ability becomes."
Chu Qiu Dao brimmed with delight.
Across his forty-ninth reincarnation, he had long yearned for an innate divine ability tailored perfectly to him.
Such a fitting innate divine technique would serve as his ultimate trump card.
Regrettably, none had ever come his way.
Yet now, circumstances had shifted dramatically; he had secured the divine ability known as Great Dream of Ages.
This divine ability's strength hinges entirely on the memories of its user.
It floods the foe's sea of consciousness with every memory the caster possesses.
Forcing the enemy to endure illusory lifetimes stretching over decades or even centuries.
An average cultivator might handle a few centuries of such memories at worst; a Divinity Transformation expert could perhaps endure two or three millennia, but no further.
He, however, stood apart as a reincarnator with forty-nine lives behind him.
His recollections spanned endless ages.
Pouring such immense memories into a foe would shatter their mind completely.
Their soul would crumble into oblivion.
The effect mirrors a Heart Demon Tribulation in its devastation.
Not even Divinity Transformation cultivators could necessarily survive it unscathed.
Without question, this would rank among his mightiest hidden weapons.
Should an adversary underestimate his apparent frailty and lower their guard, a covert strike would leave them clueless to their doom, reduced to a mindless fool in an instant.
"Entering the Primordial Talisman Sect truly marks my greatest fortune."
"Securing this cultivation method and divine prowess makes even death worthwhile now."
Immense joy surged through Chu Qiu Dao.
Death, naturally, remained out of the question.
For the moment, he held only the Qi Cultivation Chapter, with further chapters awaiting discovery.
At minimum, until he claimed the full Six Paths of Reincarnation cultivation technique, death was utterly forbidden.
After all, success in rejoining the Primordial Talisman Sect in his next life offered no guarantees.
"This sect's might is undeniable."
Presently, Chu Qiu Dao immersed himself in learning about the Primordial Talisman Sect and daily existence within the Primordial Secret Realm.
Joining a colossal sect like this marked his debut experience.
Even for a seasoned veteran like him, these novelties sparked fresh wonder.
"Though dubbed a talisman sect, the Primordial Talisman Sect embraces every path."
"It stands as an all-encompassing powerhouse."
"From talismans and elixirs to arrays and artifact forging, every art thrives here."
"Disciples receive personalized guidance, free to pursue any knowledge they desire."
"This stems from absorbing myriad forces and sects into its fold."
"Yet who would guess it rose in under a century?"
"Utterly astonishing."
Chu Qiu Dao had also skimmed the Primordial Talisman Sect's history of ascent.
Sect Leader Jiang Fan played the pivotal role in its meteoric rise.
A mythic figure blessed with endless fortunes and blistering cultivation progress.
Heaven and earth's chosen son.
Originating from the Southern Continent, he journeyed relentlessly north and south in his cultivation path.
Today, the Primordial Talisman Sect dominates key expanses across the Void Realm.
Its core territories span the Southern Continent, Western Continent, and Black Dragon Sea Region.
Influence in the Northern and Eastern Continents remains limited for now.
Even so, this sprawling dominion inspires awe.
Ruling such vast lands compelled sects and clans within to yield.
Handing over their cultivation arts and legacies to the Primordial Talisman Sect.
Thereby enriching its Scripture Pavilion to legendary depths with boundless reserves.
"Yet these sects and families surrendered their arts willingly, not just from force, but chiefly for the flood of Contribution Points they gained."
"Those Contribution Points hold immense value."
"They unlock elite cultivation techniques from the Scripture Pavilion and rare sect elixirs like Foundation Establishment Pill, Golden Liquid Jade Returning Pill, Nascent Soul Pill, Primordial Spirit Pill, and more."
"Any bottleneck-breaking elixir awaits redemption, provided one's cultivation level qualifies."
A glint sparked in Chu Qiu Dao’s eyes.
Truth be told, he grasped the vital role of Contribution Points fully.
They rivaled Spirit Stones in worth, surpassing them in significance.
Northern Continent inheritances filled his possession as well.
Though most topped out at Divinity Transformation.
Still, absent from the Primordial Talisman Sect's Scripture Pavilion, they promised ample Contribution Points upon exchange.
Useless to him personally, these arts suited trading for Contribution Points best.
Urgency, however, eluded him.
His current resources amply supported reaching Foundation Establishment.
Only after achieving Foundation Establishment status and some influence would mass exchanges make sense.
This reincarnation felt ripe for extraordinary heights.
Candidly, who craves endless reincarnations when immortality beckons in one lifetime?
Fifty cycles stemmed from fatal mishaps or insurmountable bottlenecks draining his lifespan.
In essence, Ten Thousand Lives Reincarnation served as his lifeline, a bulwark against final death.
Immortality in this life? He would seize it without hesitation.
Regardless, he aimed to push boundaries relentlessly.
"Yet the Primordial Talisman Sect's true mastery lies in Beast Taming."
"Spirit beasts outnumber human Divinity Transformation cultivators even now."
"Human experts at that level remain scarce."
Chu Qiu Dao uncovered this intriguing fact.
Aware of the sect's brief history.
His master stood alone as the sect's supreme force, the sole Refining Void Great Power.
The entire organization leaned on that might to claim such expansive domains.
Against ancient behemoths, gaps persisted.
Vast spirit beast legions bridged those divides.
Over three hundred Divinity Transformation spirit beasts bolstered their ranks—a fearsome tally.
Human counterparts numbered merely dozens at best.
Still, Chu Qiu Dao foresaw a surge in human Divinity Transformation ranks soon.
Time alone would tell.
With foundations so solid, growth was inevitable.
His timing for joining proved impeccable.
Attaining Nascent Soul, or Divinity Transformation, might elevate him to Sect Elder.
Securing vast cultivation resources for whatever came next.
Indeed, undeceased, he pondered future lives already.
An ingrained habit.
He planned for loss amid pursuits of triumph.
"Next cultivation step demands bonding a fitting spirit beast."
Chu Qiu Dao rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
The Primordial Talisman Sect boasted contracts with myriad spirit beasts of every type.
Ensuring every disciple claimed one.
The crux lay in selecting the ideal match, demanding deep deliberation.
Contracts carried limits in number.
More crucially, it forged a lifelong ally for mutual growth and aid.
Thus, the choice weighed heavily.
Disciples faced bans on coercive contracts; spirit beasts demanded genuine mutual consent.
He, of course, had pinpointed his perfect spirit beast long ago.
The Mountain Tortoise spirit beast.
Rumored to carry traces of True Spirit Black Tortoise bloodline, granting unparalleled might.
Capable of shouldering mountains with raw, titanic strength.
Above all, it wielded the innate divine technique—Mountain Protection Wall.
Rendering its defenses impregnable to common assaults.
Contracting it promised eternal security against offensive threats.
Its longevity further dazzled.
Numerous sect disciples had vied for the Mountain Tortoise's favor.
Few succeeded in winning approval.
Dozens remained unclaimed in the sect.
Hope lingered for him.
Exhaustion of options would force a secondary pick.
...
Two years vanished in a blink, time racing onward.
The Primordial Talisman Sect advanced steadily without pause.
Like an unstoppable express locomotive, surging ahead driverless.
Meanwhile, Jiang Fan’s cultivation soared dramatically, on the verge of breakthrough.
