Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1187 - 574: Ninth-Layer Void Refining, Celestial-Breaking Arrow Talisman (2)
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
"Naturally, it is arduous; this particular trial has thwarted innumerable prodigies before."
"The boy’s innate talent is truly astonishing, yet I suspect he too shall be detained here for some time."
"Nevertheless, this delay might prove beneficial; establishing a solid foundation can pave the way for superior breakthroughs."
The Primordial Talisman Pen concurred with this assessment.
Yet, it harbored no doubt that Jiang Fan, given his foundation and cultivation aptitude, possessed the capacity to ultimately reach the Integration stage.
At most, he would face a temporary impediment.
With the passage of time, his advancement would occur naturally, alleviating any need for concern.
"Finally, I have ascended to the Ninth-Layer of Void Refining."
A subtle smile graced Jiang Fan’s lips at this juncture.
All his relentless efforts, the diligent cultivation day and night without respite, had culminated in this moment of reward.
The sheer terror of his adversaries served as a constant impetus, driving him ever onward.
Merely possessing the cultivation level of Void Refining remained insufficient against such formidable foes.
Even achieving the Integration Level would represent merely the nascent stage of his journey.
Only by attaining the status of a Mahayana Cultivator could he hope to wield any meaningful influence in the Mortal World.
Jiang Fan paid no heed to the dialogue exchanged amongst the magical treasures he possessed.
His undivided focus was now on achieving breakthroughs and augmenting his cultivation base.
Whether he would break through to the Integration stage hinged on the natural progression of events.
"The subsequent step is to inscribe a new Life Talisman."
Jiang Fan had already conceived of his next Lifebound Talisman. Having inscribed the Celestial Bow Talisman upon reaching the Eighth-Layer of Void Refining, it was only fitting that the Celestial-Breaking Arrow Talisman would follow.
These two talismans, in essence, formed a singular entity, their combined might yielding limitless potential.
Within the Immortal Realm, the potency of these two Immortal Artifacts was sufficient to vanquish Immortals and send tremors through the very fabric of the realm.
The primary function of the Celestial-Breaking Arrow Talisman was remarkably straightforward: to shatter defenses.
This was crucial, as the Cultivation Realm, and indeed the Immortal Realm, teemed with an abundance of defensive magical treasures and techniques.
Nevertheless, the Celestial-Breaking Arrow Talisman proved exceptionally effective against such defensive measures.
Once unleashed, its trajectory was virtually unstoppable, capable of effortlessly breaching an opponent’s defenses before delivering a killing blow with a single arrow imbued with its power. When coupled with the Celestial Bow Talisman, their destructive capacity would escalate exponentially, by several dozenfold.
Mastery of these two Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans would render one virtually invincible at the Void Refining Level.
Furthermore, their destructive force posed a tangible threat even to cultivators in the Integration Stage.
Such was the formidable nature of the Celestial-Breaking Arrow Talisman.
Boom~~
With this realization solidifying in his mind, Jiang Fan did not hesitate, promptly expending a substantial quantity of Luck Points.
Instantly, a profound and mysterious energy permeated the depths of his sea of consciousness, dramatically amplifying his comprehension.
The intricate intricacies of the Celestial-Breaking Arrow Talisman unfurled within his mind, becoming effortlessly grasped.
......
Before long, two months had elapsed.
Having dedicated this considerable period, Jiang Fan naturally attained a profound understanding of the Celestial-Breaking Arrow Talisman, smoothly inscribing this Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman deep within his Primordial Spirit.
Were one able to glimpse his Primordial Spirit, a C sharp arrow pattern would be visible.
This pattern radiated an aura of formidable sharpness and power.
It seemed as though, with but a mere thought, this dark arrow could be loosed, piercing through all obstacles.
"It is complete."
Jiang Fan offered a faint smile, feeling a profound sense of contentment.
Following his advancement to the Ninth-Layer of Void Refining, he had now mastered twenty-seven Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans.
This signified that, with the acquisition of six more, he could achieve complete mastery over the Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talismans.
At that point, his foundational strength would be amplified to an almost unimaginable degree.
He harbored a premonition that this would herald a transformation of qualitative significance.
Each individual Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman continuously fortified his core foundation.
"Perhaps I should venture to the Endless Sea Region to gauge the might of this Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman."
Jiang Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Over the span of five years, he had thoroughly come to comprehend the sheer immensity of the Endless Sea Region within the Void Realm.
Including the Black Dragon Sea Region, there existed a total of one hundred and eight distinct sea regions.
In stark contrast to the Four Great Super Continents, these sea regions encompassed an expanse so vast it was difficult to fathom, almost immeasurable.
This offered a glimpse into the immense territories once commanded by the ancient True Spirits during the Primordial Era.
Fueled by the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, a significant population of Sea Beasts and Demon Beasts within the Endless Sea Region underwent rapid and substantial evolution.
While ordinary human cultivators found progress in Void Refining a struggle, these Sea Beasts evolved with remarkable swiftness through constant combat and mutual consumption, leading to the emergence of numerous Tier Six Demon Beasts. Should this rapid evolution persist, it's conceivable that Tier Seven Demon Beasts might soon appear. The pace of evolution for humans undoubtedly pales in comparison to these aquatic predators. However, this came at a steep price, with countless lives lost to birth such formidable kings. The emergence of these Sea Beasts and Demon Beasts alone might have been manageable. Even if they presented a considerable threat to humanity, they posed no existential risk to the Void Realm itself. The true crisis lies beyond these creatures; certain Demons, lurking in the abyssal depths, have also begun to awaken. These beings were originally imprisoned within ancient cave mansions. Their liberation, stemming from the discovery of these long-lost domains, has unleashed them to wreak havoc across the Endless Sea Region. If this situation escalates unchecked, the number of Sea Beasts that succumb to demonic transformation is unpredictable. Such a horrifying outcome is something he would absolutely not permit. "Demons are not uniform; they possess distinct ranks," he mused. "They are categorized into lower-tier, middle-tier, and upper-tier demons." "The overwhelming majority are lower-tier demons; while their offensive power is fearsome, they remain susceptible to destruction." "As for middle-tier demons, they command a variety of esoteric abilities, making them significantly more challenging adversaries." "And then there are the upper-tier demons, such as the Blood Demon and other ancient entities once sealed away; they possess an indestructible form, rendering them nearly impossible to vanquish, with sealing being the only viable recourse." "Over the vast expanse of time, it's probable that most surviving demons are of the upper-tier classification." "Yet, even so, a substantial number of lower-tier demons have managed to persist within those ancient cave mansions." "Their resurgence threatens to ignite a widespread demon disaster." Jiang Fan's fists tightened. During this period, the Primordial Talisman Sect faced not only the menace of Demon Beasts but also the growing threat of myriad emerging demons. While it hadn't yet escalated into a full-blown demon disaster like the one in the Spirit Ruins Realm – a predicament proving exceedingly difficult to resolve – failing to address this threat promptly could lead to a similar catastrophic outcome. Therefore, these latent dangers required proactive eradication. "A veritable nest of Tier Six Demons has been located." "It presents an opportune moment to strike and eradicate these abominations." A glint of frigid light flashed in Jiang Fan's eyes. Whoosh! Without a moment's hesitation, he activated the Gate of the Void. In the subsequent second, he materialized in the skies above the Endless Sea Region. This location was not the familiar Black Dragon Sea Region but an obscure, uncharted sea area, distant from any civilized territories. Consequently, awareness of the events unfolding here was minimal. Had it not been for a premonition from destiny, he would have remained oblivious to the significant demonic presence that had surfaced. Currently, on an isolated, nameless island, a multitude of Tier Six Demons were assembled. Their numbers reached at least twenty-seven individuals. The potential for devastation if these Tier Six Demons were unleashed upon the Endless Sea Region was immense, promising countless casualties. "This is truly fortunate." "I have arrived precisely when this group of Tier Six Demons is congregating." "If they were scattered, apprehending them all would have demanded considerable effort." Jiang Fan projected his divine sense, instantly detecting the presence of a large contingent of Tier Six Demons on the island. They emanated an overwhelming demonic aura, akin to swarms of dark clouds obscuring the heavens and eclipsing the sun. The very seawater surrounding the island had been corrupted by this miasma, transforming into a viscous black liquid. Merely a distant observation induced a chilling sensation, as if one's very soul was being gnawed away by the pervasive demonic energy. Without delay, Jiang Fan immediately invoked the Celestial Bow Talisman and the Celestial-Breaking Arrow Talisman he possessed. These two potent talismans, originating from the Immortal Realm, transformed instantly into formidable Immortal Artifacts. He drew the bow, fitted an arrow, and channeled his immense Primordial Magical Power into them. This act unleashed the full, devastating potential of these two Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans. Boom~~ In an instant, a barrage of dark arrows streaked forth, even from a considerable distance. They seamlessly merged with the void, moving with the effect of instantaneous teleportation. Their velocity was astonishingly high. All destructive force and killing intent were absorbed into the very fabric of the void, revealing no trace. They unerringly targeted the vital energies of the Tier Six Demons, leaving them with no sanctuary, no means of escape.
