Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1245 - 573: The Terrifying Primordial Talisman Sect, Never Provoke the Natives (Part 2)

The comprehension recorded by the Water Mirror Technique had completely shattered his understanding of reality, far exceeding anything he could have imagined.

"No, it isn't that this Divinity Transformation Cultivator is inherently so remarkable, but rather the talisman he wields, at least an Upper Grade Tier Six, is what makes him truly formidable."

"That is utterly impossible! I have witnessed Tier Six Talismans myself, and while their power is indeed immense, they could not possibly cause the instant demise of three Void Refining Cultivators like this."

"Indeed, if talismans were truly that potent, we would have no need to study arrays or artifact refining; we could simply dedicate ourselves to talisman making, bypassing such arduous detours."

Numerous Void Refining Cultivators from the Divine Weapon Sect were left utterly dumbfounded.

They found themselves at a loss for words; the methods employed by the Divinity Transformation Cultivator from the Primordial Talisman Sect were simply too terrifying.

If every Divinity Transformation Cultivator within the Primordial Talisman Sect possessed mastery over similar talismans, would that not equate to having an army of Void Refining Cultivators?!

Nay, perhaps even more terrifying than ordinary Void Refining Cultivators.

"Indeed, you are correct. This is no ordinary talisman," Lu Fucheng stated.

"I also consulted with several elders within our sect and delved into numerous secret manuals from the Ancient Era."

"I have finally ascertained the nature of these talismans; they are, in fact, talismans originating from the Immortal Realm, identified as the Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talismans."

"This is precisely why they exhibit such earth-shattering power."

"The destructive capability of these Immortal Realm Talismans is far beyond anything comparable by talismans found in the Mortal World."

Lu Fucheng's tone was exceptionally grave. He, too, had initially been profoundly shocked by the spectacle, finding it to be beyond the scope of his imagination.

Had he not witnessed it firsthand, he would never have believed that such formidable talismans could exist in this world.

However, he promptly contacted the Integration Elders of the Divine Weapon Sect. After an extensive period of investigation, they finally uncovered the origin of these talismans: they were the legendary Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans.

This explained their incredible destructive power.

"Impossible! How can a mere native sect possess mastery over Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans? How did they possibly achieve this? After all, even our Divine Weapon Sect has not managed to master them."

"In truth, our Divine Weapon Sect possesses the refining techniques for Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans, but alas, despite the efforts of countless cultivators who have studied them, not a single one has succeeded in learning the craft—the cultivation difficulty is simply far too high."

"If cultivators from the Primordial Talisman Sect have mastered Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans, then how exceptional must their innate talent be? Could they possibly surpass us, a sect of higher standing?"

The expressions of the numerous Void Refining Cultivators widened in disbelief.

They immediately grasped the formidable challenge posed by the Primordial Talisman Sect.

It was no wonder Senior Brother Lu had cautioned them against provoking this enigmatic sect.

If each member of their sect commanded such talismans, then the Void Refining Cultivators of the Divine Weapon Sect would be utterly outmatched.

To rashly provoke them would amount to nothing short of suicidal folly.

"However, the situation is not quite that straightforward," Lu Fucheng continued.

"The elders have posited a hypothesis: these Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans were not refined by them."

"They originated from the Ancient Era, discovered within ancient relics."

"It is estimated that this native sect stumbled upon a treasure trove from an ancient doctrine, acquiring a substantial number of these ancient talismans, which consequently propelled the sect's power to its current extent."

Lu Fucheng elaborated, relaying the elders' speculative theories. After all, even the elders of the Divine Weapon Sect found it difficult to believe that a simple native sect could achieve mastery over such profound abilities, leading them to the conclusion that these Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans were likely obtained from ancient ruins.

"Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans from ancient relics? The elders' hypothesis certainly seems plausible."

"I mean, as a mere native sect, how could they possibly wield power from the Immortal Realm? It must be sheer luck that these native cultivators were awarded these treasures."

"Damn it! If only I had reached the Void Realm sooner, perhaps we would have laid claim to these treasures. Now, everything has fallen into the hands of these native cultivators—it's a complete waste of precious resources!"

"Hehe, all speculation aside, it remains merely conjecture. While the probability is low, who is to say the Primordial Talisman Sect truly hasn't mastered the refining techniques for Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans, allowing them to craft these themselves?"

"Precisely. If these talismans indeed originate from ancient relics, their numbers would surely be limited. Would you, as Void Refining Cultivators, be willing to bestow such rare and valuable Immortal Realm Talismans upon cultivators at the Divinity Transformation stage?"

"Precisely, if it were me, I certainly wouldn’t want to part with it. Such a powerful ace card is best kept for oneself, not casually given to Divinity Transformation Cultivators."

"Therefore, I have a very astonishing hypothesis—that the Primordial Talisman Sect indeed birthed an unparalleled genius, the one who mastered the refining technique for Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans, enabling Divinity Transformation Cultivators to possess such talismans."

"If this hypothesis holds true, then it would be extremely exaggerated; we should not only avoid offending the Primordial Talisman Sect, but whenever encountering their cultivators, we should run as far as possible."

Numerous Void Refining Cultivators from the Divine Weapon Sect debated intensely, their expressions of utmost gravity. They never imagined that a mere native sect had mastered such formidable power, and if they were careless, they too could meet a tragic end at the hands of these local cultivators.

"It seems arrogance hasn’t completely blinded you."

"Although the Primordial Talisman Sect is indeed a native sect, they have risen to become a dominant power in the Void Realm."

"Even a broken ship has three pounds of nails; how do you know this world won’t birth an absolute prodigy?"

"To be honest, I’ve observed cultivators from other sects testing the Primordial Talisman Sect before."

"I dare not claim these Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans were refined by them, but it is a fact that they can distribute Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans freely."

"Consequently, from that point onwards, Void Refining Cultivators from other sects also refrained from provoking the Primordial Talisman Sect."

"As of now, the entire Southern Continent is precisely the territory of the Primordial Talisman Sect; other forces are strictly forbidden from meddling."

Lu Fucheng stated plainly. It was precisely because of this understanding that he calmly remained within this ancient cave mansion, never intending to establish any influence on the Southern Continent. After all, the entire human race on the Southern Continent is governed by the Primordial Talisman Sect, meticulously shaped into an impenetrable fortress, making it impossible for any other force to interfere. Moreover, he had come to the Void Realm merely to seek an opportunity for a breakthrough, not intending to establish influence here, so it didn’t concern him much; as long as he remained here, he could cultivate safely and peacefully, with no need to court trouble.

"Freely distributed?"

Upon hearing this, the group of Void Refining Cultivators from the Divine Weapon Sect fell into a stunned silence, absolutely dumbfounded, unable to utter a single word. Because the implication was simply too staggering. If a Divinity Transformation Cultivator possesses such an effective Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman, it signifies they possess a certain chance to eliminate Void Refining Cultivators. Unless they strike immediately upon encountering them, leaving no opportunity for the talisman user to employ the Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman, they would surely be doomed if targeted. Furthermore, and more importantly, this is merely the tip of the iceberg regarding the power possessed by Primordial Talisman Sect cultivators. One never knows if they might also possess defense-type Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans. If they truly possess similar defensive talismans, any assassination attempts would be utterly futile. Instead, it would only completely enrage the Primordial Talisman Sect, leading to relentless pursuit by them. In such a scenario, they could only flee back to the Divine Weapon Sect for survival. The problem, however, is that returning in a short period is impossible. Because the Divine Weapon Sect expended significant resources to teleport them to the Void Realm, it wasn’t for them to scurry back shamefully; they were expected to perish in the Void Realm, even at the cost of their lives. Anyway, for a superpower like the Divine Weapon Sect, the demise of any number of Void Refining Cultivators is of little consequence. Given the existence of Life Source Stones, there is an overabundance of Void Refining Cultivators. If some were to perish, it could indeed alleviate the pressure on the Divine Weapon Sect’s cultivation resources.

"Senior Brother Lu, according to your explanation, the Ancient Secret Realm contains immense danger."

"Also, we absolutely cannot provoke the local native forces."

"Then what is the purpose of our journey to the Void Realm?"

"We cannot simply remain here and do nothing."

A Void Refining Cultivator inquired, finding the presented situation incredibly daunting.
