Jiang Fan cultivates in seclusion and successfully breaks through to the Seventh-Layer Void Refining. He discovers his divine sense has increased significantly, granting him the ability to perform short-distance physical body teleportation. He then dedicates time to engraving a new Life Talisman, the Void Heaven Hook Talisman, which allows him to 'fish' across realms using causal lines. After two months, he successfully engrains the talisman and tests its power by casting the fishhook towards the Southern Continent.
Directly from the void, it descended, snagging a Tier Four Demon Beast. Unaware of what transpired, the ensnared Tier Four Demon Beast felt its form constricted by myriad fishing lines. Despite its most vigorous struggles, escape from this hook proved impossible. In the subsequent moment, with a gentle tug from Jiang Fan, the Tier Four Demon Beast was instantly reeled back, traversing immense distances to materialize directly before him. This formidable Tier Four Demon Beast found itself within his Quiet Chamber. "Human, what is this place, and who are you?" the beast exclaimed, shocked and incensed. It had held dominion within the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, luxuriating in a carefree existence with the potential to ascend to Tier Five or even Tier Six in the future. No one could have foreseen such a sudden calamitous descent from the heavens. In an instant, it was ripped from its familiar domain and transported to this unfamiliar locale. Furthermore, the human cultivator before it radiated an aura of terrifying power, his cultivation unfathomably profound, seemingly capable of crushing it with but a single finger. "So this is how the Void Heaven Hook Talisman is employed?" Jiang Fan mused aloud. "When used judiciously, it can truly fish across myriad worlds, acquiring diverse treasures. Even if one desires to capture and retrieve enemies, this Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman can achieve it, instantly hooking the target back." Jiang Fan paid no heed to the Tier Four Demon Beast's distress. His heart brimmed with elation, having finally grasped the application of this remarkable Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman. Though not a weapon for direct combat, its appropriate use yielded endless wonders. Naturally, he harbored no intention of dispatching the Tier Four Demon Beast. Since it was drawn from the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, their encounter must be fated. To extinguish the life of such a Tier Four Demon Beast would be a lamentable waste. Jiang Fan resolved to induct this creature as a Spirit Beast of the Primordial Talisman Sect. *Whoosh!* With this decision solidified, Jiang Fan channeled the might of the Ten Thousand Beasts Painting, swiftly forging a contract with the Tier Four Demon Beast, thereby integrating it into the sect's menagerie of Spirit Beasts. Such acquisitions were exceedingly common. Over the passage of years, the Ten Thousand Beasts Painting had amassed a multitude heretofore uncountable Spirit Beasts. "Master, have you just acquired proficiency in a new Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman?" inquired the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron, its curiosity piqued by the unfolding scene. "It must be the Void Heaven Hook Talisman, though this is my inaugural observation of its capabilities," the Primordial Talisman Pen offered, a note of uncertainty in its voice. "Impossible. Did you not state that the Primordial Talisman Sect had already procured the Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talismans?" the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron questioned. "Are you unfamiliar with these specific Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans?" "Indeed, the methodologies for cultivating the Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talismans were acquired long ago," the Primordial Talisman Pen replied. "However, only a select few have ever truly mastered them. Even among those who attain mastery, they might comprehend merely seven or eight talismans at most. Geniuses typically grasp only two or three. It is safe to assert that the vast majority of the Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talismans remain beyond comprehension." The Primordial Talisman Pen retorted with a touch of exasperation. This was not a reflection of its own limited insight; rather, it stemmed from the sheer, insurmountable difficulty in mastering the Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talismans, esoteric knowledge far exceeding the grasp of mortal cultivators. Witnessing someone like Jiang Fan so readily comprehending numerous Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans was an unprecedented event. Consequently, many of the abilities inherent in these Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans were learned by the Pen directly from Jiang Fan. Examples include the Heaven-Time Talisman, imbued with the Power of Time, which previously no one could master, as well as the Heaven-Reaching Bridge Talisman and the Heavenly Glory Bracelet Talisman, among others. In the past, only the most rudimentary of Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans were understood by cultivators of the Primordial Talisman Sect. "You are correct. If one counts meticulously, Master should have learned around twenty Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans thus far," the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron observed. "Continuing at this pace, will you not soon comprehend all Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talismans?" "The legendary power of the Thirty Celestial Spirit Talismans, how immense is it?" it inquired further, its curiosity insatiable. "That remains unknown, as no one has ever witnessed it in its entirety," the Primordial Talisman Pen stated. "Therefore, it is merely a conjectured power. Perhaps only through true mastery will its full extent be revealed," it anticipated. The Primordial Talisman Pen envisioned that if Jiang Fan could achieve such a feat, he might even possess the ability to reverse-kill immortals while still retaining a mortal form. Given the young man's astonishing cultivation speed, this ultimate goal did not seem impossibly distant. The Pen now eagerly awaited the day it could witness such a spectacle. *Boom~~*

In this instant, having dispatched the Tier Four Demon Beast, Jiang Fan accessed his personal virtual stats panel.

[Realm: Seventh-Layer Void Refining (18% progress)]

[Profession: Tier Six High-grade Talisman Master (70% progress)]

Surveying the impressive figures displayed on his virtual panel, Jiang Fan felt a considerable sense of contentment.

Furthermore, the pace of his cultivation advancement was notably swift, having reached an 18% progression.

It was evident that even after transitioning into the late stages of Void Refining, his cultivation speed had not significantly diminished.

This was largely attributable to the Profound Yellow Fruits he had acquired previously.

To accelerate his progress in the Void Refining realm, he had consumed three Profound Yellow Fruits.

Although cultivation in the late Void Refining stage demands a substantially greater amount of Qi, consuming three more would be more than sufficient, propelling his cultivation to the Perfection stage of Void Refining.

He could confidently state that he no longer faced any scarcity of cultivation resources for the Void Refining level.

Beyond this, the rapidity with which his Life Talismans gained proficiency and his Talisman Master cultivation progressed was also exceptionally fast.

The primary factor behind this surge was his accumulation of a vast quantity of Luck Points.

With the aid of abundant Luck Points, his various skills had advanced at an astonishing rate.

Currently, he possessed 510 million Luck Points.

This immense reservoir of Luck Points was ample for him to utilize liberally over an extended duration.

The principal reason for accumulating such a staggering amount stemmed largely from his experiences within the Cangwu Immortal Mansion.

Following the tribulations endured there, he was rewarded with a substantial 200 million Luck Points.

Such an extraordinary influx of Luck Points is not an everyday occurrence.

It could only be concluded that the ordeal within the Cangwu Immortal Mansion was indeed profoundly perilous.

Had he not possessed intimate knowledge of its every secret, the insidious anomalies lurking within might have fully awakened.

In such a catastrophic scenario, the entirety of the Void Realm could have been plunged into eternal darkness, devoid of any hope.

"Have I accumulated nearly 130,000 Immortal Stones already?"

"Even in the primordial Ancient Era, I would be recognized as an exceptionally affluent cultivator."

Jiang Fan lightly stroked his chin, harboring a distinct sensation of possessing substantial wealth.

However, his affluence could no longer be adequately measured by spirit stones alone.

This was due to the immensely expansive territories now under the control of the Primordial Talisman Sect.

Currently, the Sect was continuously discovering and exploiting an untold number of Spirit Stone Ore Veins.

Essentially, a continuous and massive influx of spirit stones was occurring moment by moment.

Yet, as the Sect Leader himself, he could not freely appropriate the Sect’s treasury.

Nevertheless, he possessed the means to exchange for resources.

For instance, the myriad of Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans he personally refined were each of immense value.

A single spirit talisman could readily be exchanged for a significant quantity of spirit stones and substantial contribution points.

It was a practical certainty that he held the highest accumulation of contribution points within the current Primordial Talisman Sect.

The wealth in spirit stones was already beyond measure.

In essence, vast quantities of spirit stones were being generated every moment.

Furthermore, the task of refining spirit talismans could be delegated to his avatars, requiring minimal personal effort.

"Hmm?"

At this precise instant, Jiang Fan felt an unexpected premonition stir within him.

Within the central lands, Jiang Fan detected the precise location where Su Weiwei and Lu Youyou were in isolated cultivation.

Presently, the unmistakable aura of a Thunder Tribulation was manifesting.

"Impossible, could they be attempting to advance to Divinity Transformation? How could it be so swift?"

Jiang Fan's eyes widened in disbelief.

He realized that his two Dao Companions appeared to be on the verge of overcoming the Divinity Transformation Thunder Tribulation.
