Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1212 - 857: Primordial Spirit Transformation, Advancement to Integration
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
However, before departing the Han Family Village, Han Yu resolved to visit his concealed sanctuary.
By chance, he had uncovered a diminutive secret realm brimming with a substantial quantity of spirit medicines.
Among these were medicines of the Third, Fourth, and even Fifth Tiers.
Undeniably, this was an area where one could achieve immense wealth instantaneously.
The crux of the matter was that, previously, he had hesitated to lay claim to any spirit medicine from this secluded secret realm.
This hesitation stemmed from his lack of established channels for their sale.
To rashly attempt selling them in neighboring cities would be a direct route to peril.
Innumerable Tribulation Cultivators would undoubtedly set their sights on him.
It was precisely this guarded approach that had shielded him from numerous calamities.
The Life Chart of Great Wisdom Like Foolishness had granted him an edge far beyond that of an ordinary villager.
He was not as guileless as the other inhabitants of the village.
Yet, circumstances had altered dramatically; he had acquired the Mixed Element Forum. Through this enigmatic platform, he could now offload the spirit medicines he collected without exposing himself to risk or the threat of being targeted by Tribulation Cultivators.
Evidently, the Mixed Element Forum served as the preeminent venue for disposing of ill-gotten gains while maintaining anonymity from pursuers.
A few days subsequently passed.
Han Yu managed to successfully liquidate a significant quantity of spirit medicines, accumulating a considerable fortune in spirit stones—effectively becoming affluent overnight.
This windfall elevated him, a mere cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Stage, to a financial standing comparable to that of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
Nevertheless, he prudently maintained a substantial portion of his newfound wealth within the Mixed Element Forum, unwilling to draw undue attention.
"Now, I am wanting for nothing."
"With such a magnitude of spirit stones, I even possess the means to procure diverse cultivation secret manuals from the forum."
"Furthermore, these secret manuals are of the highest caliber."
"My next course of action is to affiliate with a merchant guild and dedicate myself to slow, steady cultivation."
"This strategy aligns with the principle of 'greatness hidden in plain sight.'"
Han Yu promptly solidified his resolve; he felt his future was alight with promising possibilities.
Indeed, all individuals who had recently joined the Mixed Element Forum shared this optimistic outlook.
They hailed from a spectrum of disparate backgrounds.
Some, much like Han Yu, originated from the most unassuming village populace.
Others belonged to established cultivation families, while a few emerged from overlooked collateral branches.
Regardless of their origins, with the assistance readily provided by the Mixed Element Forum, their paths to cultivation advanced with remarkable celerity.
Naturally, this rapid progression also precipitated the swift expansion of the Mixed Element Alliance.
Like an insatiable leviathan, it proceeded to absorb a considerable share of the resources available within the Spirit Ruins Realm.
......
Five years elapsed.
Within the Spirit Ruins Realm, specifically the Ten Thousand Treasures Secret Realm's esteemed Ten Thousand Treasures Hall, a secluded chamber awaited.
At this juncture, Jiang Fan was seated in a cross-legged posture upon a meditation mat, his physical form anchoring a terrifying vortex of immense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi that commanded the surrounding space.
The abundant Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi coursed deep into his being, transmuting into nascent magical power within.
Through five arduous years of dedicated cultivation, his progress had been nothing short of meteoric, culminating in the perfection of the Ninth-Layer Void Refining Realm.
He stood but a single step away from achieving a breakthrough into the Body Integration Realm.
"At long last, I have refined my primordial spirit to its utmost limit, attaining the state where illusion seamlessly melds with reality."
Jiang Fan perceived that his primordial spirit had undergone a profound metamorphosis compared to its former state.
What was once an ethereal entity had now solidified into palpable substance.
The power it wielded was extraordinarily immense.
This represented precisely the initial phase for Void Refining Cultivators aspiring to ascend to the Integration stage—the critical transformation of the primordial spirit.
"The subsequent step towards achieving Integration involves the complete unification of the primordial spirit and the physical body."
"This particular process is fraught with the greatest peril."
"Any failure in this integration will lead to the simultaneous annihilation of both the primordial spirit and the body, resulting in absolute demise."
"Throughout recorded history, numerous prodigies have met their end in this manner."
"However, I do not foresee this stage posing an insurmountable obstacle for myself."
Jiang Fan inhaled deeply.
He invoked the Mixed Element Talisman Scripture, drawing upon the boundless spiritual qi of the heavens and earth, as well as the fundamental void energy originating from the deepest reaches of the cosmos.
For the primordial spirit and the body to achieve complete integration, their vibrational frequencies must achieve perfect synchrony—establishing a resonant harmony between them, akin to attaining the Unity of Heaven and Man.
Conventional cultivators typically depend on potent Integration Pills or sheer fortune, engaging in numerous attempts over months, or even years, in pursuit of the opportune moment for breakthrough.
Failure to seize this moment invariably leads to an unsuccessful advancement.
Yet, his situation was distinct; bolstered by an overwhelming abundance of destiny, he possessed the capacity to expend a considerable number of Luck Points, thereby enabling him to enter the Unity of Heaven and Man state at any given moment, irrespective of location.
Boom~~
In the blink of an eye, a vast quantity of Luck Points was absorbed, and an unfathomable energy surged into his very soul and body, bestowing upon him the miraculous Unity of Heaven and Man.
At that precise instant, he recognized how his primordial spirit and physical form resonated in perfect synchronicity.
A mere moment was all that was required for him to discover the opportune instant to meld his primordial spirit and body.
For standard cultivators at the Void Refining stage, the quest for such an integration opportunity was an arduous and uncertain journey. Yet, bolstered by an overwhelming force of destiny, he achieved it the very first time he attempted.
Should news of this feat ever escape, it's doubtful many cultivators would lend it credence.
Rumble~~~
A profound tremor coursed through Jiang Fan as he felt his very being dissolving into the void, beginning a process of virtualization, an energetic transformation. It was as if he were manifesting a Void Body, an ethereal Energy Body.
His primordial spirit was in a constant state of absorption, assimilating his robust physical structure.
For fellow cultivators, this integration was fraught with peril; a solitary misstep could spell utter failure.
Nevertheless, for Jiang Fan, this profound transformation unfolded with the effortless grace of a mountain stream finding its course.
