Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1255 - 578: Mahayana Realm Exotic Beast, the Unicorn Thunder Elephant_2
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
These were all treasures acquired over the years from the Minghua Mountain Range.
However, the most valuable among them were undoubtedly the three portions of Immortal Beast flesh and blood, each about the size of a fist.
They appeared as crystalline chunks, clear and translucent, with ethereal Immortal Patterns swirling on their surfaces, seeming to contain a formidable Thunderbolt Power, as if Law patterns were intricately inscribed within.
"This is the flesh and blood from the Immortal Beast, the One-Horned Thunder Elephant."
"I genuinely never imagined you could procure the flesh and blood of such an Immortal Beast."
"Even within the Immortal Realm, obtaining the flesh and blood of a One-Horned Thunder Elephant is no trivial feat."
"After all, this species of Immortal Beast wields incredibly potent strength; in its presence, an Ordinary Immortal is utterly insignificant."
The Artifact Spirit of the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall commented.
It had taken notice of the significant haul Jiang Fan had acquired this time and expressed a degree of surprise.
Acquiring the flesh and blood of an Immortal Realm Immortal Beast within the Mortal World was, after all, exceedingly difficult.
In essence, each piece was worth an absolute fortune.
"Are Immortal Beasts exceptionally rare in the Immortal Realm?"
Jiang Fan inquired.
"They cannot be classified as exceedingly rare; quite the opposite, they are ubiquitous."
"Naturally, as powerful living beings indigenous to the Immortal Realm."
"Fundamentally, from the moment of their birth, they can contend with an Ordinary Immortal, possessing incomparably formidable strength."
"Furthermore, the Immortal Realm hosts a vast array of Immortal Beast clans."
"Even within the boundless expanse of the Immortal Realm, Immortal Beasts constitute an extremely dominant force,"
The Artifact Spirit of the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall elaborated.
"How do they measure up against True Spirits?"
Jiang Fan asked, his curiosity piqued.
"Naturally, they are incomparable to True Spirits."
"True Spirits are truly unique beings, originating directly from Heaven and Earth."
"Not only do they boast exceptionally long lifespans, but they also possess exceedingly high innate talent."
"However, regarding Immortal Beasts, while their Physique is indeed remarkably robust,"
"they struggle immensely to comprehend the Laws of Heaven and Earth."
"Consequently, from birth, their strength is largely predetermined, making it arduous for them to transcend the inherent limitations of their bloodline."
"Of course, exceptions always exist in the grand tapestry of Heaven and Earth; occasionally, an Immortal Beast will manage to break free from these constraints and ascend to Realms unattainable by ordinary Immortal Beasts."
"However, such existences are exceedingly rare; the overwhelming majority of Immortal Beasts can never shatter their inherent shackles."
"Yet, the remains of these Immortal Beasts are treasures in every conceivable aspect."
"Especially for Cultivators in the Mortal World like yourself, they are equivalent to a succession of supreme Treasure Medicines,"
The Artifact Spirit of the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall explained.
While it was prohibited from disclosing certain highly confidential information pertaining to the Immortal Realm, it was permitted to share general knowledge about it, as this would not breach any sensitive taboos.
"So that's how it is."
Jiang Fan nodded. He could distinctly feel the immense allure that these three portions of One-Horned Thunder Elephant flesh and blood exerted upon him.
An enigmatic aura radiated from them, causing every fiber of his being to experience an unparalleled sense of yearning.
He felt an overwhelming urge to immediately consume this flesh and blood, making it an intrinsic part of his own existence.
In truth, this sensation was not exclusive to him; all living creatures would react similarly.
However, if a Cultivator with insufficient Cultivation were to rashly ingest Immortal Beast flesh and blood, they would inevitably be annihilated by the potent energy contained within.
Exotic Beasts faced a comparable fate.
It was merely that a select few exceptionally gifted Exotic Beasts managed to survive such ordeals, subsequently rising to become the paramount rulers among their kind.
The Exotic Beasts of the Integration Realm and Mahayana Realm, for instance, originated in this manner.
"With this Immortal Beast flesh and blood, I foresee no obstacles in Cultivating the Soaring Snake Technique."
"It might even empower me to achieve a breakthrough to the Tier Seven Middle Stage Realm,"
Jiang Fan declared, clenching his fists.
He recalled the extensive details contained within the Integration Chapter of the Soaring Snake Technique.
This particular Chapter primarily focused on the refinement of acupoints.
The cultivation process involved meticulously refining the acupoints, smelting them, and facilitating a profound metamorphosis within them.
The objective was to evolve the acupoints from their mortal state into those characteristic of a Divine Beast.
This was necessitated by the inherently limited capacity of ordinary human acupoints to store substantial amounts of energy.
Each mortal's acupoint capacity was akin to a well, contrasting sharply with a Divine Beast's, whose acupoints resembled a lake; the disparity was profound, impossible to quantify.
Consequently, for one's Physique to continually ascend towards the semblance of a True Spirit, the acupoints within the body were necessitated to undergo metamorphosis.
The process of transformation was, in essence, straightforward: it involved inscribing one hundred Soaring Serpent Runes into each individual acupoint.
Advancement to the Perfection of the Tier Seven Early Stage demanded the inscription of one hundred and twenty acupoints.
This translated to a monumental requirement of at least twelve thousand Soaring Serpent Runes.
Such a feat represented an immense undertaking.
Without external assistance, it would be utterly unfeasible to achieve without millennia of arduous Cultivation.
However, his recent acquisition of abundant Immortal Beast flesh and blood offered a pathway to drastically condense the Cultivation timeframe.
It was plausible that complete success could be attained within mere years.
With this prospect in mind, Jiang Fan acted without hesitation. He introduced the three portions of Immortal Beast flesh and blood into the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron, recognizing the presence of numerous impurities that could be expertly purged by the cauldron's formidable power, thereby achieving complete refinement and purification.
The outcome would be the isolation of only the most vital and pristine Origin Energy.
Boom~~
The Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron commenced its trembling, disseminating threads of the Qi of Ten Thousand Transformations, an entity possessing the capability to refine all matter.
The Immortal Beast flesh and blood was rapidly subjected to this refining process, its inherent impurities being effortlessly extracted.
Within the cauldron, a resplendent seven-colored luminescence erupted, accompanied by faint emanations of Dao sounds. This phenomenon caused the entire cauldron to reverberate continuously, its steady ring seeming to agitate the very fabric of the surrounding void, manifesting as visible ripples in the air.
Furthermore, hundreds, then thousands, of Immortal Patterns clashed like a celestial army engaged in war, their collisions profoundly impacting the void.
Soon thereafter, all three segments of Immortal Beast flesh and blood were fully transmuted by the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron, coalescing into droplets of Seven-Colored Medicine Liquid, which pulsed with radiant light and exuded an aura of profound Immortal might.
Thump!
Jiang Fan promptly ingested a single droplet of the Seven-Colored Medicine Liquid. The potent medicinal energy contained within this drop unleashed with volcanic intensity, an eruption of unparalleled ferocity capable of shattering worlds.
In a fleeting vision, he perceived a solitary One-Horned Thunder Elephant, a majestic beast, charging through the ether. It was wreathed in myriad bolts of purple lightning, transforming the surrounding expanse into an boundless Sea of Thunder.
Its might was colossal, capable of upholding the heavens and supporting the earth; a mere movement of its foot could cleave the void.
Its sheer, untamed power surged across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, subjugating legions of malevolent demons.
An ordinary Cultivator would undeniably succumb to such a fierce and uncontrolled surge of Medicinal Power; however, for Jiang Fan, this potency was insignificant, entirely within his capacity to endure.
His physical form acted as a divine crucible, effortlessly containing and subduing this tempestuous Medicinal Power.
Consequently, this formidable medicinal essence integrated itself into his limbs, bones, and every cellular component of his being, precipitating a rapid augmentation of his Physique and a discernible enhancement of his innate Bloodline Power.
"Soaring Snake Technique."
Without delay, Jiang Fan assumed a cross-legged posture upon the ground and initiated the circulation of the Soaring Snake Technique deep within his being. His immense Qi and Blood Power flowed through him like an agile Soaring Snake, consuming the potent surges of Medicinal Power, annihilating all obstacles in its path.
Concurrently, guided by his divine sense, each acupoint within his body began to host the meticulous, one-by-one, engraving of Soaring Serpent Runes.
It was as if successive Soaring Snakes were diligently constructing their individual lairs within each respective acupoint.
Undeniably, the execution of this task was fraught with immense difficulty, demanding the concentration of one's mind across multiple simultaneous operations.
Moreover, absolute precision was paramount; any deviation was impermissible.
The occurrence of even a single error during the rune-engraving process would inevitably result in damage to the affected acupoint, thereby dooming the inscription attempt and necessitating a complete restart.
The cyclical nature of failure, correction, further failure, and subsequent repair would consume an incalculable amount of time.
Indeed, this was the fundamental reason why commencing the Cultivation of the Soaring Snake Technique typically required millennia; the majority of this duration was consumed by the relentless cycle of failure and recuperation.
To achieve success in a singular attempt would, naturally, lead to a substantial conservation of arduous Cultivation time.
The pertinent question, however, was who possessed the capability to achieve such perfection?
Boom~~
Instantly, Jiang Fan expended a considerable amount of his Luck Points. From the depths of his sea of consciousness, an immense influx of mystical energy flooded in, propelling him into a state of pure logic, utterly devoid of emotion. He was, at this juncture, akin to a perfectly calibrated mechanism, incapable of error. Without delay, Soaring Serpent Runes materialized sequentially within each acupoint embedded deep within his physical form. This event also triggered a palpable and rapid escalation in the potency of the Soaring Snake Bloodline coursing through him.
