Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1020 - 496: Obtaining the Soaring Snake Technique Void Refining - , a Great Harvest_2

A handful of direct descendants barely escaped with their lives.

Those who refused submission faced total annihilation.

As a result, the Primordial Talisman Sect claimed the whole Black Dragon Sea Region as its domain, securing it tightly like an impenetrable fortress.

This conquest brought the Primordial Talisman Sect substantial gains along with plentiful cultivation resources from the Black Dragon Sea Region.

Yet, this control meant any disturbance in the Black Dragon Sea Region could strip the Primordial Talisman Sect of its hard-won advantages.

"Could it be that there’s an ancient demon sealed in the Black Dragon Sea Region?"

Jiang Fan inquired with curiosity.

Truth be told, he had not lingered much in the Black Dragon Sea Region.

He also lacked deep knowledge about this oceanic area.

When it came to insights on the Black Dragon Sea Region, Lu Youyou likely surpassed him.

"That’s right, there certainly is."

"It’s said to be sealed in the depths of the ocean, originally the territory of the Poisonous Scale Flood Dragon Race."

"Originally, this place was guarded by the Poisonous Scale Flood Dragon Race."

"That place is called the Demon Cave, a demon cavern deep in the sea."

"But recently, the restriction array sealing the Demon Cave has been gradually weakening."

"Inside, the aura of demons is becoming increasingly strong."

"If it continues this way, that ancient demon might escape."

Lu Youyou explained with a sense of helplessness.

Undoubtedly, should that ancient demon break free, the initial victims would be the myriad creatures inhabiting the Black Dragon Sea Region.

No one could predict the vast number of lives that might be lost.

"The Black Dragon Sea Region actually has such a place."

"No wonder it used to be the habitat of a True Dragon; it indeed holds many secret locations."

"But in the short term, that ancient demon probably won’t escape, right?"

Jiang Fan stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"Hmm, it probably won’t escape."

"If you calculate the time, it should hold for at least another ten to twenty years."

"As for any longer than that, it’s completely uncertain."

Lu Youyou shook her head slowly.

She had personally visited the Demon Cave to inspect it.

That location brimmed with thick demonic qi.

However, the cave's entrance remained firmly sealed by multiple layers of restriction arrays.

Regardless of the ancient demon's furious struggles inside, breaking out seemed impossible.

Thus, in the near future, the Demon Cave posed no immediate threat.

"That’s good, then."

"Haste makes waste."

"Without strength, it’s impossible to deal with that ancient demon."

"Better to wait until I break through with the Soaring Snake Technique first."

Jiang Fan stated solemnly.

He too desired to confront that ancient demon.

But charging in without sufficient power would only invite doom.

Therefore, he chose to bide his time and first bolster his cultivation base.

"Yeah."

Su Weiwei and Lu Youyou nodded in agreement.

They shared the same view.

If overpowering that ancient demon proved impossible, fleeing would serve as a wise choice.

Preserving one's life takes precedence above all.

"Are the demons about to revive as well?"

"If that’s indeed the case, the uncanny might start reviving too."

"You need to prepare in advance."

"It’s best to quickly advance to the Void Refinement level."

"Otherwise, you might not withstand the disasters that follow one after another."

"Those uncanny methods are incredibly terrifying."

At that moment, the Human Emperor Sword's voice echoed in Jiang Fan’s sea of consciousness, offering a timely warning.

It had already perceived fragments of the Void Realm’s impending future.

As spiritual qi in the Void Realm surged back to life, the demons and uncanny entities bound by Heavenly Dao Laws would slowly shatter their confinements.

On the surface, the ebb of spiritual qi in the Void Realm diminished local cultivators' prowess.

Yet, in reality, it shielded the teeming lives of the Void Realm, enabling survival for countless souls.

After all, without the spiritual qi's decline and the laws' restraint, those primordial uncanny and ancient demons would have ravaged the world long ago.

Otherwise, the Void Realm could not have remained so vibrant with existence today.

Regrettably, this was only a drawn-out demise.

Because the Tree of Eternal Life relentlessly drained the Void Realm's Origin Energy.

If the Void Realm refrained from a desperate struggle, it would inevitably be wholly devoured by the Tree of Eternal Life.

It was fair to say this marked the Void Realm’s final stand.

This desperate bid would undoubtedly claim the lives of innumerable beings.

But failing to act would doom the entire world to oblivion regardless.

"Hmm."

Jiang Fan remained silent; he hadn’t anticipated receiving such dire tidings upon his return to the Void Realm.

Thankfully, his expedition to the Spirit Ruins Realm had propelled his cultivation forward swiftly, reaching the Ninth-Layer Divinity Transformation.

In truth, Void Refinement lay just within his grasp.

Furthermore, thanks to the Spiritual Energy Revival, the Void Realm's suppression on Void Refining Cultivators had vanished.

Thus, progressing to the Void Refinement Realm remained feasible within the Void Realm itself, without venturing to the Spirit Ruins Realm.

......

A day passed.

After spending several days in reunion, Jiang Fan, Su Weiwei, and Lu Youyou had eased their pent-up longing.

Ultimately, as cultivators, they practiced a measure of self-control.

Before long, Jiang Fan retreated into seclusion anew, dedicating himself to cultivation, since romance could wait.

He kept reflecting on the Void Refining Chapter of the Soaring Snake Technique.

"The so-called Void Refining Chapter of the Soaring Snake Technique is actually the Blood Transformation Chapter."

"Cultivation at this realm requires the integration of ten thousand Soaring Serpent Runes into one’s bloodstream."

"Once successful, the ordinary blood within will transform into divine blood."

"This brings unimaginable benefits to the cultivator."

Jiang Fan sat cross-legged upon the ground.

Following a full day of contemplation, he had unraveled numerous enigmas in the Void Refining Chapter of the Soaring Snake Technique.

This insight further enriched his grasp of the True Spirit Technique.

Spanning from the Mortal Chapter, Qi Cultivation Chapter, Foundation Establishment Chapter, Golden Core Chapter, Nascent Soul Chapter, Divinity Transformation Chapter, and reaching the Void Refining Chapter now.

Truly, this True Spirit Technique persistently refines the cultivator’s body step by step.

It stands as a paramount method to elevate mortals toward True Spirits, brimming with infinite secrets and profound intricacies.

Nevertheless, its cultivation demands daunt even the boldest.

Most cultivators falter at the Mortal Chapter, finding further advancement nearly unattainable.

"But to ascend to the Void Refining level, one must cultivate the Divinity Transformation Chapter to the Perfection Realm."

"Requires the integration of three thousand Soaring Serpent Runes into the bone marrow."

"Once perfected, it allows communication with Bloodline Power, crucial for impacting the Void Refinement Realm."

"This is not difficult for me."

"Because of Heavenly Dao’s gift, it’s equivalent to having numerous Body Tempering Spirit Medicines assisting me."

"Currently, I don’t need any other Body Tempering Spirit Medicine."

"Simply mobilizing this Origin Energy can assist the cultivation of the Soaring Snake Technique."

Jiang Fan tightened his fists.

He perceived the boundless marvels of this Heavenly Dao-sourced Origin Energy, which appeared all-encompassing in its potency.

Not only did it fuel inner magical powers, but it also profoundly aided physical metamorphosis.

Besides, this Origin Energy's abundance sufficed to support his breakthrough into Void Refinement without strain.

Rumble~~

With these thoughts, Jiang Fan wasted no time, plunging straight into practicing the Soaring Snake Technique.

His awareness delved into the core of his bone marrow.

Guided by his awareness, he commenced fusing the Soaring Serpent Runes embedded deep in his bone marrow.

This rune-etching procedure inevitably inflicts heavy tolls on the bone marrow.

Typically, one must ingest certain spirit medicines to hasten marrow recovery.

Only after restoration could the next rune be inscribed.

This repetitive process persists until the full three thousand Soaring Serpent Runes stand inscribed.

Failing that, cultivation at this stage often drags on for centuries or millennia, which is commonplace.

Yet, Jiang Fan simply willed it, and threads of Origin Energy from his consciousness sea's depths surged forth at once.

This served as the ultimate restorative force.

In mere instants, the injured marrow mended completely.

Moreover, it emerged tougher than prior, infused with richer vitality.

At the same time, the marrow fused with Soaring Serpent Runes radiated golden gleams, as if laced with divine essence.

This fortified his physique beyond its previous state.

Through persistent accumulation over time, his body would inevitably ascend to a superior level.

"With this cultivation speed, at most in a year, I can attempt a breakthrough to Tier Six."

Jiang Fan brimmed with excitement.

He noticed that back in the Void Realm, his progress hadn't slackened but accelerated remarkably.

It felt as if an immense, enigmatic force enveloped him, propelling his cultivation ever onward.
