Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 773 - 393: Promote to Fifth-Layer Nascent Soul, Heaven-Transforming Staff Talisman (Part 2)

"My spiritual sense has also seen a significant improvement."

With a stir of his heart, Jiang Fan released his spiritual sense, allowing it to fan out in every direction like a cluster of invisible tentacles. His once clear perception grew even sharper, now capable of pinpointing every drifting speck of dust in the room and every subtle flow of spiritual Qi. This expansion of his spiritual sense did more than just refine his external awareness; it deepened his intrinsic bond with the heavens and the earth.

It was evident that his spiritual sense was now on par with a cultivator at the Seventh-Layer of Divinity Transformation.

"Now that I have reached the Fifth-Layer Nascent Soul, my next objective is to carve a new Life Talisman."

With this goal in mind, Jiang Fan immediately consulted the Primordial Talisman Pen to discover which of the Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talismans came next.

"It is the Heaven-Transforming Staff Talisman."

The Primordial Talisman Pen answered him without any delay.

It was equally keen for Jiang Fan to achieve mastery over the complete set of Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talismans.

Success in this endeavor would undoubtedly be a miracle without precedent.

After all, even the most formidable cultivators of the ancient Primordial Talisman Sect had only ever managed to master ten Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans at most.

Yet here was Jiang Fan, a mere Fifth-Layer Nascent Soul, already possessing five Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans—a feat that defied all logic.

If the past Supreme Elders of the Primordial Talisman Sect were aware of this, they would surely lose their minds.

Boom~~

Suddenly, a massive tide of information regarding the Heaven-Transforming Staff Talisman flooded the depths of Jiang Fan’s sea of consciousness, allowing him to rapidly absorb the esoteric secrets of this Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talisman.

A flash of terrifying brilliance crossed his eyes, as if he had unraveled all the world's mysteries.

"So that is the essence of it."

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin, instantly grasping the lineage of the Heaven-Transforming Staff Talisman. It draws its power from a supreme immortal artifact of the Immortal Realm known as the Heaven-transforming Staff; 'transformation' refers to the act of conversion, while the 'staff' represents a divine scepter.

This is a supreme scepter with the capability to convert all living souls.

Once one masters this supreme immortal artifact, they gain the power to convert all beings and objects.

"It actually holds the power of conversion?"

"Does this not surpass any Enchantment Talisman?"

Jiang Fan felt a surge of excitement as he processed this information.

To be fair, a Perfection Level Enchantment Talisman is quite formidable, yet it possesses glaring constraints.

If one faces a cultivator with an exceptionally firm willpower, it becomes impossible to delude their soul.

Being a talisman of the mortal world, it naturally has its ceiling.

However, this spirit talisman from the Immortal Realm belongs to an entirely different league.

The power contained within cannot be compared to common spirit talismans.

Mastering the Heaven-Transforming Staff Talisman is equivalent to wielding a scepter that can convert all existence.

"It appears you have grasped the terrifying nature of the Heaven-Transforming Staff Talisman."

"This spirit talisman can bring all things and beings to conversion."

"While cultivators with powerful wills might resist the conversion to an extent,"

"they will still suffer from confusion and mental disturbance for a period of time."

"This is a soul-type spirit talisman."

"In the past, a member of my Primordial Talisman Sect mastered this talisman. When he used it, he could force millions of foes to defect, turning enemies into loyal allies; its strength is truly frightening."

The Primordial Talisman Pen spoke with a lingering sigh.

In truth, there is no fixed sequence to the Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talismans; each one is a peerless entity.

However, the innate talent of every cultivator varies.

One might understand one type of talisman while being blind to another.

An anomaly like Jiang Fan, who can perceive any talisman, is truly unheard of and without equal.

Consequently, even in ancient times, those who could comprehend the Heaven-Transforming Staff Talisman were exceedingly rare.

But once it is understood, the power it manifests is beyond imagination.

"Excellent."

Jiang Fan nodded and settled himself cross-legged upon his meditation mat.

He immediately sacrificed a massive amount of Luck Points. A surge of mystical energy instantly pierced the depths of his sea of consciousness, boosting his comprehension abilities exponentially.

The countless enigmas of the Heaven-Transforming Staff Talisman began to materialize within his mind.

At that moment, he became entirely lost in the study of this Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman.

......

In what seemed like a heartbeat, a month had slipped by.

"It is finished."

"After a full month of effort, I have finally integrated the Heaven-Transforming Staff Talisman as my Life Talisman."

A faint smile appeared on Jiang Fan’s face, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

He could feel the Nascent Soul deep within his Dantian and Sea of Qi. Engraved upon its palm was a Life Talisman that resembled a dark-gold scepter, covered in intricate runic patterns that looked like the very laws of nature.

This was, without question, the Heaven-Transforming Staff Talisman.

After thirty days of focused Cultivation, he had successfully merged this Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman into his own Life Talisman.

As it stood, he was now the master of five Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans.

Had this occurred within the ancient Primordial Talisman Sect, the news would have rocked the entire organization.

It might have even sent shockwaves through the whole Void Realm.

"So this is the power of the Heaven-Transforming Staff Talisman?"

"It truly commands the Power of Transformation."

Stirred by curiosity, Jiang Fan triggered the Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman.

Instantly, the talisman manifested as a dark golden staff in his grip.

With a light swing of the staff, a powerful and eerie soul wave radiated outward.

From the empty air, the sounds of Buddhist chants began to echo.

It sounded as though a thousand Buddhas were whispering prayers, causing golden lotuses to bloom.

Any living thing that heard these chants would be turned into a devout follower.

Even those cultivators with iron wills would find their minds wavering, becoming entranced by this soul-binding power.

This strength eclipsed the Enchantment Talisman many times over.

"With this talisman, handling adversarial cultivators will be much simpler."

"I can literally turn my enemies into my friends."

"I can convert those who oppose me into my servants."

Jiang Fan stroked his chin thoughtfully.

He began to weigh the various applications of this talisman.

Clearly, its greatest value lay not in direct battle, but in accelerating the growth of his Sect.

Normally, it would take centuries for a cultivator to reach the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage.

But the Primordial Talisman Sect no longer needed to wait that long.

Using this talisman, enemies could be transformed directly into Elders of the Sect.

This method was far more efficient than training a disciple from scratch.

It could even be applied to Demon Race cultivators just as easily as humans.

He could turn those Demon Race warriors into the Sect's guardian spirit beasts.

In doing so, the Sect’s foundation and influence would skyrocket.

It was far more productive than simply slaying those Demon Race cultivators.

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan’s mind flickered, and he summoned his virtual status panel.

[Name: Jiang Fan]

[Life Chart: Great Blessings Equal to Heaven, Attribute: Narrow Escape, Good Fortune Follows]

[Lifespan: 40,000 years]

[Spirit Root: Celestial Spirit Root]

[Luck Points: 3.5 million]

[Realm: Fifth-Layer Nascent Soul (1%)]

[Profession: Tier Four Middle-grade Talisman Master (90%)]

There was no doubt that his various attributes had seen a massive boost compared to before.

"I didn't expect my Luck Points to hit 3.5 million."

"This is truly a fortune beyond compare."

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin, feeling immensely pleased.

His recent expedition to the Primordial Ruins had been incredibly fruitful.

He hadn't just removed a major threat; he had also secured two immortal talismans and a mountain of Luck Points.

It was a perfect outcome.

Even after spending a massive amount of Luck Points to master the Heaven-Transforming Staff Talisman,

he was still left with 3.5 million.

Such a staggering sum was more than enough to push several of his Life Talismans to the Perfection Level.

"And my wealth has reached 800 million Spirit Stones, hasn't it?"

"I practically have more than I can spend."

Jiang Fan felt a surge of emotion.

He finally grasped the perspective of the incredibly wealthy.

Once money hits a certain threshold, it becomes nothing more than a statistic.

Furthermore, he wasn't the only one generating wealth; his entire Sect was working to earn for him.

Even if he chose to do nothing, his riches would continue to grow at a rapid pace.

This was far superior to venturing out and taking unnecessary risks.

After all, adventuring always carried the danger of death.

But by remaining in his own territory, there was no danger, and his wealth only increased.

This was exactly why so many solitary Golden Core or Nascent Soul cultivators sought to build their own organizations.

Working alone could never compare to having an entire force working on your behalf.
