Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1032 - 502: Obtaining the Immortal Artifact Qiantian Ice Soul Pearl and Ancient Cultivators

"Is it here?"

Once inside the Demon Cave, Jiang Fan relied on the guidance from his destiny hints to navigate to the cave's innermost section.

Furthermore, acquiring this chance wouldn't prove so easy.

It lay hidden far inside the spatial dimension.

That's why even the Blood-eating Fish Demon and the Shadow Fish Demon failed to notice it.

Just the fated ones could make it to this spot and claim the secret opportunity stored away here.

Perhaps it was a relic deposited by some mighty figure of the Ancient Era.

Boom~~

Right away, Jiang Fan unleashed the divine sense energy from his body, spreading it across all parts of the surrounding void.

Before long, he detected a treasure tucked away in a single spatial node.

Thud!

With a grab toward the emptiness, he swiftly pulled forth the treasure buried in the dimension's core.

The item turned out to be a white pearl, fist-sized, its exterior etched with complex enigmatic runes that released a bone-chilling cold of frightful intensity.

If gripped by typical cultivators, this icy aura would instantly freeze them solid.

Yet to Jiang Fan, bearer of a True Spirit physique, such frost meant absolutely nothing.

Buzzing~~

With no delay, Jiang Fan expended a massive quantity of his Luck Points right then.

Strange power merged into the white pearl at once.

Within mere instants, he fully tamed this item, binding it as his personal lifebound magical treasure.

Qiantian Ice Soul Pearl!

Such was the title of this magical treasure, an injured immortal artifact.

It could unleash deep ice qi to encase all in frost, serving as a weapon of ultimate frigidity.

When powered up, the artifact could ice over everything and lock down a whole region.

Without question, this flawed immortal artifact held immense power and fighting prowess.

"What happened?"

"Who are you? Why did I suddenly awaken?"

"Wait, how did you refine me? What on earth happened?"

"Cursed human cultivator, what did you do to me?"

Right then, the artifact spirit inside the Qiantian Ice Soul Pearl stirred to life.

Dazed, it scanned its surroundings, baffled by recent events.

Yet soon enough, it grasped that this unknown human cultivator had fully claimed it.

The problem lay in its nature as an immortal artifact; damaged or not, full refinement without agreement from a mere human broke all reason.

In a flash, it grew rather agitated, hovering in the air while shooting furious glares at Jiang Fan.

Upon catching those outbursts, the nearby treasures—the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron, Demon-Vibrating Bell, Exquisite Tower, and more—chuckled at its plight. They had suffered the same quiet claiming.

Clearly, this one had met the same fate as them.

Still, that reflected their master's unique skill.

Regardless of any treasure's defiance, none could defy their master's enigmatic techniques.

"First, answer my question. Why are you in the Demon Cave?"

Jiang Fan inquired.

The Qiantian Ice Soul Pearl had zero desire to reply to queries from this loathsome human cultivator, yet oddly, an arcane force in his voice forced its compliance.

It started explaining, "My former master was Daoist Xue Xue. Together with numerous mighty experts, she employed various methods to bind two dreadful demons in this place, shielding the realm from vast calamity.

Still, to block any future breakout by those demons that might spark fresh havoc, I got stationed here for constant vigilance over them.

Over countless years, I fulfilled my duty flawlessly, with never a slip-up. Hold on, how exactly did you get into the Demon Cave? Where's the Blood-eating Fish Demon and the Shadow Fish Demon? What became of them?"

Just then, a wave of alarm hit it, as it couldn't sense the pair of demons under its former seal.

The whole Demon Cave stood deserted.

Even worse, the local sealing formation lay utterly shattered.

No doubt, those two fearsome demons had broken free during its slumber.

At this point, it felt utter distress.

It understood all too well the horror those two demons represented.

Back in the Ancient Era, only a coalition of many supreme beings managed to contain them.

And in today's time, where spiritual qi remains scarce and cultivators' levels stay weak.

Should those demons break loose, soon they'd slaughter every life in the Void Realm, sparing no one.

"Oh, they’ve already escaped from here."

"But you needn’t worry, I’ve personally slain them."

"Those two menaces have completely disappeared from this world."

Jiang Fan remarked casually.

"Huh?!"

At these words, the Qiantian Ice Soul Pearl stood stunned.

While it grasped each term from this fellow, the overall sense escaped it entirely.

What sort of figure did this youthful human cultivator imagine himself to be?

True, his cultivation reached the Tier Six Early Stage.

In the current age, that might mark him as an elite force.

But against those two ancient horrors, such strength counted for little.

And yet, he boldly asserted he'd eliminated two Ancient Demons.

It rang like blatant falsehood, treating the Qiantian Ice Soul Pearl as some idiot.

"Hmm, these are their remains."

Jiang Fan skipped needless chatter.

He'd long obtained the corpses of the two Ancient Demons, placing them within the Exquisite Tower's inner realm for the Exquisite Tower to swiftly process those demonic leftovers.
