Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1011 - 492: Ninth-Layer Divinity Transformation, The Path to Refining Void (2)
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
[Realm: Ninth-Layer Divinity Transformation (32%)]
[Profession: Tier Five Upper Grade Talisman Master (95%)]
It was undeniable that the pace of his cultivation advancement was remarkably swift, and it kept accelerating.
In particular, his progress in cultivation had surged to 32% within a single month, drawing near to the perfection of Divinity Transformation.
Upon reaching perfection in cultivation, he would be ready to attempt a breakthrough into the Void Refinement Realm.
Without question, only as a Void Refining Cultivator could someone claim a foothold in the Spirit Ruins Realm.
Being just a Divinity Transformation Cultivator simply wouldn't cut it in terms of capability.
In the Spirit Ruins Realm, a Divinity Transformation Cultivator served merely as a standard leader.
To rise to the rank of general, reaching at least the Void Refining stage was essential.
"I never imagined you'd reach the Ninth-Layer of Divinity Transformation this rapidly."
"It's merely been a decade or so since you arrived from the Void Realm into the Spirit Ruins Realm."
"Your cultivation pace is unimaginably swift."
"Even during the Ancient Era in the Void Realm, such speed would be considered astonishing."
Detecting Jiang Fan's present cultivation level, the Primordial Talisman Pen couldn't resist commenting.
Based on its earlier estimates, this young man would need at least a few hundred years to attain the Ninth-Layer of Divinity Transformation.
That rate was already viewed as exceptionally quick.
Unexpectedly, upon entering the Spirit Ruins Realm, his cultivation velocity turned terrifyingly rapid.
Within just over a decade, he had climbed to the Ninth-Layer of Divinity Transformation.
Continuing at this rate, he was likely to breach into Void Refinement in just a few more years.
Had it not observed the process firsthand, it would never accept that a Divinity Transformation Cultivator could cultivate at such an incredible speed.
Likely, only a Child of Destiny might exhibit this kind of phenomenal cultivation velocity.
Yet, under the present circumstances, this development was actually beneficial.
After all, robust combat strength was vital for confronting the myriad crises ahead.
Particularly those horrifying disasters originating from the Void Realm.
"Elder Fu, what is the method for breaking through from Divinity Transformation to Void Refinement?"
Jiang Fan questioned.
Though he had studied numerous secrets regarding Void Refinement from ancient texts, the precise way to achieve the breakthrough into the Void Refinement Realm remained elusive to him.
An artifact of inheritance such as the Primordial Talisman Pen alone possessed the knowledge required for advancing from Divinity Transformation to the Void Refinement Realm.
Grasping these secrets beforehand would undoubtedly provide immense assistance in his eventual ascent to Void Refinement.
"You haven't yet reached the perfection of Divinity Transformation, but given your rapid cultivation, it won't be long."
"Thus, sharing this information with you now poses no problem."
"You could even begin preparing for the path to Void Refinement right away."
The Primordial Talisman Pen let out a sigh.
It had no intention of withholding knowledge and was eager to reveal everything it understood.
"I'm listening intently."
Jiang Fan gazed at the Primordial Talisman Pen.
"Breaking through to Void Refinement demands conquering multiple challenges first."
"The initial one is undoubtedly the Primordial Spirit Barrier."
"It's beyond doubt that entering Void Refinement requires a primordial spirit strong enough to fuse with Heaven and Earth, or perhaps the Void itself."
"Should the primordial spirit lack the ability to sense the void, no method will allow entry into Void Refinement."
"That said, your primordial spirit strength is already sufficient; this hurdle means nothing to you."
The Primordial Talisman Pen stated with evident admiration.
It hadn't anticipated that this young man's primordial spirit would be so formidable. Though only at Divinity Transformation, his divine sense rivaled that of a Ninth-Layer Void Refining expert, which was staggeringly impressive.
This conferred tremendous advantages too.
For most cultivators, the grueling Primordial Spirit Barrier was effortlessly overcome by this young man.
"What comes after as the next challenge?"
Jiang Fan asked.
"The following is the Physique Barrier."
"Entering Void Refinement necessitates a robust physique without fail."
"Therefore, after attaining Divinity Transformation, all such cultivators must engage in a Body Tempering Technique to fortify their physical form."
"Since reaching Void Refinement involves integrating a thread of void energy into one's magical power."
"This process converts the magical power into Void Refining Power."
"Yet, this energy is immensely potent and far exceeds what an ordinary physique can endure."
"Failure to withstand it could lead to the body exploding, resulting in death."
The Primordial Talisman Pen elaborated.
So, the Physique Barrier, was it?
Hearing this, Jiang Fan arched his brow, evidently recognizing that even at the Void Refining stage, physical strength held considerable significance.
His prior practice of the Soaring Snake Technique had spared him much arduous effort in this regard.
Had he waited until Divinity Transformation to begin Body Tempering Techniques, the wasted time and toil would be incalculable.
No surprise, then, that Divinity Transformation Cultivators often needed millennia to advance to Void Refinement.
The demands of dual cultivation in Qi and body tempering made the required duration obvious.
Not to mention the colossal resources expended.
Consequently, even in a bountiful Great Thousand World like the Spirit Ruins Realm, Void Refining Cultivators remained somewhat scarce.
Upon successfully entering Void Refinement, one's status would skyrocket exponentially.
"With how challenging breaking into Void Refinement is, do elixirs exist to help cultivators in the process?"
Jiang Fan inquired with interest.
"Indeed there are. It's known as the Void Spirit Pill."
"During the Ancient Era, this Tier Six Elixir gained great fame, primarily using the ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine called Void Grass."
"This rare Spirit Medicine harbors void energy within it."
"When taken, it not only boosts a cultivator's primordial spirit temporarily but also safeguards the physique."
"It protects against the void power, averting bodily rupture and demise."
"Still, this pill is incredibly rare, beyond the reach of most cultivators."
"In today's times, the Void Grass has probably vanished entirely."
"Yet, in the abundant Spirit Ruins Realm, locating Void Grass shouldn't be impossible."
"There could even be vendors offering the Void Spirit Pill."
The Primordial Talisman Pen detailed.
It was clear that aids existed for the ascent from Divinity Transformation to Void Refinement.
The Void Spirit Pill stood as a celebrated elixir for this breakthrough.
Regrettably, it had faded into extinction in the Void Realm, rendering it unobtainable there.
However, the plentiful Spirit Ruins Realm might yield such elixirs.
Securing a Void Spirit Pill would boost his breakthrough success rate by no less than 30%.
Should the attempt fail, this pill could preserve the cultivator's life.
It might permit a subsequent attempt at breakthrough.
Thus, for those at Divinity Transformation Perfection, the Void Spirit Pill equated to an extra life.
Given the opportunity, countless Divinity Transformation Cultivators would empty their fortunes to acquire one.
"Void Spirit Pill, is it?"
"I must secure one if the chance arises."
Jiang Fan stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Reflecting on it, he concluded that he could surmount these obstacles with relative ease, even sans the Void Spirit Pill.
Nevertheless, possessing it would be ideal.
After all, it served as an additional safeguard.
If he ended up not requiring it, no harm done.
Naturally, forgoing it wouldn't be catastrophic; his own power would suffice for the breakthrough.
"Surpassing the Primordial Spirit and Physique Barriers still leaves the tribulations to face."
"Namely, the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation and the Heart Demon Tribulation."
"These dual tribulations are profoundly fearsome, with few cultivators enduring them."
"Even in the Ancient Era's Void Realm, Void Refining Cultivators were not numerous."
"But upon triumphant ascent, one emerges as an unparalleled powerhouse, endowed with a lifespan of ten thousand years."
"It's essentially a path to near-immortality, defying the ravages of time."
The Primordial Talisman Pen declared gravely.
Evidently, ascending to Void Refinement was no trivial feat. Beyond fulfilling cultivation prerequisites, surviving the tribulations was mandatory.
This represented a formidable barrier for countless prodigies.
Even supreme geniuses approached Void Refinement with utmost caution.
Lest they perish amid the tribulations, their body and soul utterly destroyed.
"True enough, entering Void Refinement is no simple matter."
"One must prepare meticulously before undertaking the ascent to Void Refinement."
Jiang Fan agreed with a nod.
Thanks to the Primordial Talisman Pen's clarification, he now grasped the route to Void Refinement far better.
Once adequately prepared, he could proceed with the attempt to enter Void Refinement.
Judging by the timing, returning to the Void Realm was probably in order.
After all this duration, the peculiar curse had thoroughly vanished.
