Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1484 - 688: Acquiring the Thirty-Three Celestial Immortal Artifact, the Heaven-Stealing Ladder, and One Hundred Million Immortal Stones (Part 2)

"Otherwise, it would just be a slow death."

Cloud Fairy said helplessly.

How could she not know that ascending to the Immortal Realm is actually a gamble?

The entire Immortal Realm might already have become a Purgatory, and an ordinary cultivator ascending to the Immortal Realm might just be courting death.

It could even be called walking into a trap.

However, if one does not ascend to the Immortal Realm, then sooner or later their lifespan will be exhausted and they will die.

So they have no choice but to take the risk.

"I am still far from Mahayana."

"I estimate that only my husband can smuggle into the Immortal Realm and advance to a True Immortal."

"I hope my husband will not go to the Immortal Realm so soon."

Lu Youyou clenched her fists.

Although she is already a late-stage Integration cultivator, she does not want to advance to Mahayana so quickly.

Because she still needs to comprehend more Law Dao Rhyme.

Only by doing so, will she gain more benefits after advancing to Mahayana.

If it’s just to advance to Mahayana quickly, it would be purely a waste of her opportunities and talent.

At the very least, it would take thousands or even tens of thousands of years of cultivation to advance to Mahayana.

In this way, the benefits can be maximized.

After all, no one can be like her husband, comprehending dozens or even hundreds of laws in just a few hundred years, which is simply unheard of and ridiculously exaggerated.

"It’s not that easy. Do you really think the Immortal Artifact Heaven-Stealing Ladder is so easy to find?"

Cloud Fairy said, somewhat exasperatedly.

...

At the same time, in the Spirit Ruins Realm, Ice Prison.

Immortal Prison Hall, a quiet chamber.

This is where Jiang Fan is in seclusion cultivating.

The entire quiet chamber is suffused with endless silver brilliance, like the purest spiritual radiance in the world, making the small space sparkling and translucent, without a speck of dust.

The room is sparsely furnished, with only a black jade meditation mat placed, where Jiang Fan sits cross-legged, his posture as straight as a pine tree, eyes lightly closed, breathing long and steady like an ancient spring, his clothes gently swayed by the invisible airflow, without a trace of smoke and fire.

The dense Immortal Spirit Qi surged from all directions into the quiet chamber, not in a violent torrent, but like a silken thread and jade entering the skin, carrying the freshness of plants and the vastness of stars, slowly penetrating into every inch of Jiang Fan’s meridians and every pore.

The spiritual qi is so dense that it’s almost inseparable, coalescing into a mist of faint golden color, swirling around him, seemingly tangible, where one could reach out and touch a piece of soft warmth, and with each breath, the primordial magical power in his dantian simmers and boils, gradually becoming more profound and lasting.

Undoubtedly, this Immortal Spirit Qi comes from the Immortal Stones Jiang Fan obtained earlier.

Having destroyed the Tree of Eternal Life and various oddities, he acquired a massive amount of treasures from the Land of Return.

Solely in terms of Immortal Stones, he obtained a billion pieces.

This is an extremely astonishing wealth, enough to make even True Immortals covetous.

With over a billion Immortal Stones gathered, this quiet chamber has transformed into a Little Immortal Realm.

Even if an Immortal were to cultivate here, it would be without issue.

So there is no need to speak of a Mahayana cultivator.

"I see."

At this moment, Jiang Fan is already immersed in deep insight, his mind connected with the heavens and earth, the Immortal Spirit Qi around him like a bridge linking him with the heavens and earth.

He has painstakingly cultivated for a hundred years, constantly digesting the Heavenly Dao’s gifts from the Void Realm.

Due to the Heavenly Dao’s gifts from the Void Realm, he obtained a large amount of law information, like a revelation.

But to truly digest it, a significant amount of time is still needed to fully comprehend.

Only then can it be said that he has comprehended the myriad Heaven and Earth Laws.

Rumble~~~

Initially, only subtle Dao Rhymes flowed around him, like murmurs or the sound of a zither, invisible and intangible, yet clearly perceptible in the profound principles of heaven and earth contained within— the weight and stability of mountains, rivers, and seas, the perpetual operation of sun, moon, and stars, the cycle of life and death of plants, and the majestic force of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.

As the comprehension deepens, those formless Dao Rhymes begin to take shape.

Pale cyan current emerges from his brow, forming into tiny runes, which, as they flowed, sketched the contours of mountains and rivers in the air of the quiet chamber, with peaks overlapping and streams murmuring, though only shadows they may be, yet they exude an indescribable weighty Dao Rhyme;

Following that, the silver-white light dots gathered, forming the trajectories of the sun, moon, and stars, slowly rotating according to some mysterious law, with the light being gentle yet not glaring, illuminating the Quiet Chamber like a cosmic Star Sea, each light dot carrying fragments of the Law of Stars.

More astonishingly, the Immortal Spirit Qi around Jiang Fan began to coagulate into various manifestations: on the left, a light blue stream transformed into a clear spring, gently flowing, and wherever it passed, the Spiritual Qi became more abundant, with tiny spirit sprouts quietly germinating in the void;

On the right, a cluster of fiery red light flames gently flickered, not scorching, yet emanating the heat and dynamism of the Law of Flame, with sparks seemingly flying as the light flames flowed, leaving not a single mark upon the black jade meditation mat.

A faint golden halo gradually encircled his fingertips, within which the delicate threads of laws could be vaguely seen, crisscrossing and connecting the four corners of Heaven and Earth.

Whenever his fingertips slightly moved, those threads of laws would gently tremble, and the Dao Rhyme in the Quiet Chamber would grow more intense, even prompting external world phenomena—outside the Quiet Chamber, the previously clear sky slowly manifested a faint glow, within which dragon and phoenix phantoms seemed to hover, emitting crisp cries that spread far and wide; beneath the ground, the dormant Spirit Vein was quietly awakened, Spiritual Qi surged, transforming into beams of light shooting straight up to the sky, intertwining with the glow in the sky.

Jiang Fan was completely oblivious to this, his mind still immersed in the comprehension of laws.

The Dao Rhyme around him grew increasingly refined, and those mountain, star, clear spring, and light flame phantoms gradually merged, transforming into a colorful cocoon, enveloping him within.

On the cocoon, runes flowed, laws weaved, every inch reflecting the ultimate truth of Heaven and Earth, as Immortal Spirit Qi circulated inside and outside the cocoon, seemingly nourishing his divine soul and physical body, making his aura increasingly ethereal, closer to the source of Heaven and Earth.

It is unknown how much time passed before this round of seclusion and cultivation was truly completed.

Boom~~

The next second, Jiang Fan’s eyes opened, seemingly invoking the surrounding Heaven and Earth Laws, triggering endless ripples in the void.

"It’s done, I finally thoroughly comprehended the Law messages of the Void Realm’s Heavenly Dao."

"Now I have grasped at least one hundred and eighty kinds of Heaven and Earth laws."

Jiang Fan squeezed his fists, feeling immensely excited.

Before his hundred-year seclusion and cultivation, he had merely grasped one hundred and eight kinds of laws.

But now, he has increased the number of Heaven and Earth laws to one hundred and eighty kinds.

If this news were to spread, it would surely shake the Immortal Realm.

Because even average immortals cannot estimate how much time and effort is needed to comprehend a single law.

Sometimes, even tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years might pass without being able to comprehend a single law.

Yet now, within just a hundred years, he managed to comprehend dozens of laws.

This is truly unbelievable.

However, this is also thanks to the gift from the Void Realm’s Heavenly Dao.

Moreover, such an opportunity is not casually obtained.

One must have the merit of saving the entire Great Thousand Worlds to gain recognition from the Heavenly Dao.

Otherwise, the Void Realm’s Heavenly Dao would not be invoked.

Thus, such a tremendous opportunity emerges from the timely convergence of luck and effort.

Under ordinary circumstances, such an opportunity simply would not occur.

"Now my cultivation has indeed reached Mahayana Perfection."

"But there’s still quite a distance to True Immortal."

"To ascend to True Immortal, one must undergo Immortal Tribulation."

"Through the tempering of Tribulation Thunder, the Dao Seed within can truly coagulate, turning from virtual to real."

"Otherwise, no matter how much cultivation is done, it cannot advance further."

"The unfortunate thing is, the entire Mortal World is completely sealed by the giants of the Immortal Realm, making it impossible to invoke Immortal Tribulation."

"Unless one smuggles into the Immortal Realm, there’s no way to ascend to True Immortal."

"Fortunately, I have already mastered the method to smuggle into the Immortal Realm."

Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered.

In fact, the gains from the Land of Return a hundred years ago were not merely an immense wealth of Immortal Stones.

More importantly, he also acquired an Immortal Artifact.

It is the Thirty-Three Celestial Immortal Artifact—the Heaven-Stealing Ladder.

To be honest, he never expected those eerie beings to obtain the Immortal Artifact Heaven-Stealing Ladder, and even hid it within the Land of Return.

Thinking carefully, it actually makes sense.

After all, those eerie beings gained victory in the Void Realm war, collecting most treasures of the Void Realm.

This treasure capable of smuggling into the Immortal Realm naturally ended up in their possession.

No chance of escape.
