Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1232 - 567: Second-Layer Integration, Heaven-Shaking Hammer Talisman
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
Within the Spirit Ruins Realm, specifically in the Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins' Ten Thousand Treasures Hall, a secluded chamber was enveloped in an aura of profound tranquility.
The air in the chamber was thick with dense Immortal Spirit Qi, all emanating from a hoard of hundreds of thousands of Immortal Stones, creating an environment akin to residing within the Immortal Realm itself.
For any cultivator of a lower tier, such an environment might facilitate a breakthrough within mere days.
Even for those at the Integration stage, this was an unparalleled cultivation sanctuary.
At this very moment, Jiang Fan was seated cross-legged on a mat, diligently practicing the Mixed Element Talisman Scripture. Streams of Immortal Spirit Qi flowed into his being, undergoing a transformation into immense Primordial Magical Power.
After five years of relentless cultivation, his progress had been astonishing, reaching the Perfection stage of the First-Layer Integration Realm.
He stood poised on the precipice of breaking through to the Second-Layer Integration.
Ordinarily, a cultivator at the First-Layer Integration would require centuries, if not millennia, to achieve perfection, given the extreme difficulty in advancing the magical power at the Integration stage.
However, Jiang Fan's prior feat of vanquishing the Cloud Crane Demon Cave had earned him boons from the Heavenly Dao.
The substantial Origin Energy he received had bypassed the need for prolonged, arduous cultivation.
Consequently, in just five years, he had attained the Perfection of the First-Layer Integration.
"It is time," Jiang Fan murmured, drawing a deep breath.
He circulated his Primordial Magical Power, completing three hundred and sixty cycles, reaching the pinnacle of perfection as his magical power surged like an unstoppable torrent.
Bang~~
In the ensuing moment, this vast reservoir of Primordial Magical Power and Primordial Spirit Power surged towards the cultivation bottleneck.
With a single impact, the barrier shattered instantaneously, an effortless breakthrough achieved.
Second-Layer Integration!
Unquestionably, Jiang Fan had now ascended to the Second-Layer Integration Realm, keenly aware of the soaring strength in his Primordial Magical Power, his physical form, and the might of his Primordial Spirit.
This was a comprehensive and absolute advancement.
Indeed, the cultivation process for Integration cultivators is exponentially more demanding than for Void Refining cultivators, necessitating simultaneous advancements in magical power, physical body, and Primordial Spirit.
Any deficiency in these aspects would render a breakthrough impossible.
Yet, for Jiang Fan, this presented no obstacle.
His physical body possessed a formidable strength, comparable to a True Spirit, and the power of his Divine Sense rivaled that of Mahayana cultivators. As long as his Primordial Magical Power reached perfection, the breakthrough was a natural progression.
He was spared the need, unlike other Integration cultivators, to concurrently cultivate all three aspects for advancement.
However, achieving such synchronization typically consumes vast amounts of time, spanning hundreds or thousands of years.
"Is this the Second-Layer Integration? My divine sense tendrils have already reached two hundred thousand."
With a mere thought, Jiang Fan’s Power of Divine Sense unfurled, permeating the void.
Intricately interwoven tendrils of divine sense formed an expansive network, effortlessly encompassing millions of kilometers of space, thereby granting him command over the Void Power within that region.
Previously, at the First-Layer Integration, his divine sense comprised a hundred thousand tendrils; upon reaching the Second-Layer Integration, this number doubled to two hundred thousand, a significant enhancement.
"In a fundamental sense, cultivation at the Integration level is also a form of spirit refinement, a stage of tempering the Primordial Spirit."
"As the power of the Primordial Spirit grows, so does the body's enhancement."
"These two aspects mutually reinforce each other."
Jiang Fan clenched his fist.
He immediately recognized the advantages stemming from the increased Primordial Spirit Power.
Firstly, his control over Void Power had intensified; now, with a simple thought, he could harness immense quantities of Void Power, even tear through the void for instantaneous teleportation.
Secondly, the potency of celestial phenomena and the strength of his Integration Domain had augmented, as these were intrinsically linked.
Lastly, his comprehension of Heaven and Earth Laws had deepened.
The enhancement in his Primordial Spirit Power enabled him to penetrate deeper layers of the void, thereby perceiving the latent Law Dao Rhyme concealed within its depths.
"The Primordial Spirit and the physical body are integrating further."
Jiang Fan also perceived the ongoing transformations within his body, moving closer to achieving the Undying Body.
Ascending to the Integration Realm merely marked the commencement of this process, signifying the initial merging of the Primordial Spirit and the body, not yet a complete fusion. Full integration required reaching the Integration Perfection of the Ninth-Layer.
Only then would his body become truly Undying.
At that juncture, even if any part of his body were destroyed, it could continuously regenerate."The Undying Body possessed by cultivators at the Integration Perfection stage stems from the absolute union of their Primordial Spirit and physical form." "When this fusion is complete, each fragment of their flesh retains the imprint of the Primordial Spirit's consciousness." "Therefore, as long as the Primordial Spirit remains intact, the body possesses the capability for continuous regeneration." "However, this does not render them invincible." "Should the Primordial Spirit meet destruction, death is an absolute certainty." "Nevertheless, even with this caveat, Integration stage cultivators stand as divine beings when compared to those of lower cultivation realms." "Their strength far surpasses anything cultivators below the Void Refining stage can contend with; it represents a comprehensive and overwhelming enhancement." "In terms of both body and soul, they possess virtually no exploitable flaws." Jiang Fan felt that his comprehension of the powers wielded by Integration stage cultivators had reached a new level. It was evident that this represented a crucial step in the continuous journey toward achieving Immortality. Moreover, having now reached the Second Layer of Integration, he was also capable of beginning the inscription of new Life Talismans.
