Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 790 - 401: A Great Harvest, Obtaining the Sub-Immortal Artifact Immortal Slaying Flying Saber (2)

"Back in the Ancient Era, I used this Immortal Slaying Flying Saber to slaughter countless foes."

"Against demons possessing undying physical forms, its power is particularly devastating."

The True Spirit Wood Dragon offered this explanation.

Deep down, however, the dragon was profoundly stunned.

It had previously suspected that this human cultivator might be capable of identifying the most valuable treasure, but witnessing it actually happen left the dragon shaken to its core.

Out of nine potential choices, the man had pinpointed the absolute best one.

If he is not the Child of Destiny, then who could possibly be?

Being a True Spirit, it possessed a deep understanding of the weight of destiny.

With enough destiny, even a lowly pig could ascend to immortality.

Conversely, the most brilliant talent will perish and be forgotten if their luck is lacking.

It seemed this human was truly worth supporting.

Perhaps he was the Child of Destiny selected by the Heavenly Dao of the Void Realm for this specific era.

The impending disaster facing the Void Realm might very well be settled by this individual in the future.

"A Sub-Immortal Artifact... the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber?"

Jiang Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

The sheer power radiating from the flying saber was palpable to him.

His combat efficiency would surely reach new heights if he could successfully tame it.

Truthfully, demons with undying bodies had always been a thorn in his side.

There were times when even the Demon-Vibrating Bell or the Great Sun Buddha Mirror struggled to finish them off.

But with the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber in his possession, those irritating demons might be dispatched with ease.

It was indeed a prize worthy of being in the True Spirit Wood Dragon’s hoard—its fame was well-earned.

To simply pull out a Sub-Immortal Artifact like this was no small feat.

"Be warned, this Sub-Immortal Artifact is incredibly violent and harbors a terrifying bloodlust."

"One cannot hope to command this magical treasure without an exceptionally powerful will."

"There is a genuine risk of being consumed by its malice and becoming a mere puppet to the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber."

The True Spirit Wood Dragon spoke with great gravity.

This lethal weapon was undoubtedly frightening, sharing many characteristics with a Demon Artifact.

A cultivator lacking sufficient mental strength would find themselves enslaved by the blade upon holding it.

History had seen such tragedies before.

Cultivators who found the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber were often subjugated by it, turning into mindless blade slaves.

In those cases, the man does not wield the saber; the saber wields the man.

Yet, if mastered, the destructive potential within the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber was staggering.

At its absolute peak, it was said to be capable of even slaying Immortals.

"If that is the only concern, then there is no problem at all."

"Mastering magical treasures is the one thing I am most proficient at."

A faint smile played on Jiang Fan’s lips.

"Heh, you little brat."

"Your arrogance knows no bounds. Who do you think you are dealing with?"

"I am the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber! You think a child like you can control me?"

"No soul in this world has the right to command me."

Suddenly, the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber let out a cold sneer as its Artifact Spirit began to wake.

It looked down on Jiang Fan with pure contempt.

Had the True Spirit Wood Dragon not been suppressing it, the saber would have fled long ago.

Jiang Fan didn't bother with a verbal retort. He simply reached out and gripped the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber with his large hand.

Boom~~

In a flash, he began burning through his Luck Points: ten thousand, fifty thousand, then a full million.

By the end, he had expended a total of two million Luck Points.

This massive amount of luck was converted into a vast, mysterious energy that surged directly into the core of the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber.

"What is happening?"

The Immortal Slaying Flying Saber was thrown into a state of confusion. As Jiang Fan grabbed it, it had intended to strike back and teach this arrogant human a lesson he’d never forget—showing him that some treasures were not to be trifled with.

However, it never anticipated the energy coming from the cultivator. It was an immense, ancient, and unfathomable aura that seemed to encompass the entire universe.

Most shockingly, the saber found it impossible to resist this power.

It instinctively felt that even a tiny drop of this energy could trigger its further evolution.

This was the core instinct of an Artifact Spirit.

Boom~~

Within a single breath, the saber realized a soul connection had been forged. A contract was signed, and its ability to resist had vanished.

It felt as though it had achieved the state of Unity of Man and Artifact instantly.

"Are you joking? What have you done to me?"

"How could you refine me so easily?"

"I never gave my consent!"

The Immortal Slaying Flying Saber was filled with frustration, feeling as though it had been forcefully violated by this cunning human.

It had no intention of allowing itself to be refined, yet the process was forced upon it regardless.

Furthermore, it was powerless to fight back; the whole situation was utterly bizarre and incomprehensible.

"Your consent is not required."

With a simple thought, Jiang Fan suppressed the Artifact Spirit of the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber, forcing it into a deep slumber.

While the spirit was still rebellious for now, Jiang Fan was confident that it would eventually bow to him over time.

With a sharp whistle, the magical treasure dissolved into his body, becoming one with him.

"This..."

The True Spirit Wood Dragon watched the scene, completely dumbfounded. It had expected to have to help Jiang Fan subdue the saber, but the human had refined it effortlessly on his own.

Such a rare talent was truly shocking; it was no wonder the man could sign a Dao Contract with a True Spirit.

This extraordinary ability only further proved he was the Child of Destiny.

"Impressive. You have performed well."

"By the way, I have not yet introduced myself."

"My name is Cang Teng. In the ages past, the world knew me as the Cang Teng Dragon Venerable."

Cang Teng, the Wood Dragon, looked at Jiang Fan with clear approval.

By revealing its true name, it signaled that it had fully accepted him.

"Cang Teng, I have a question. Is it possible for me to take command of the Wood Dragon Secret Realm?"

Jiang Fan asked.

"The Wood Dragon Secret Realm is my domain, so naturally, yes."

"If you wish to govern it, I have no objections."

"But what is your plan for this place?"

Cang Teng asked out of curiosity.

"I am the current Sect Leader of the Primordial Talisman Sect."

"My sect is growing at a rapid pace."

"Therefore, we require more Secret Realm Worlds to expand our territory."

"The Wood Dragon Secret Realm is an ideal location for the Primordial Talisman Sect. I could transform it into a massive Medicinal Garden for growing Spirit Medicine."

"If you are willing, I would like to station some of my disciples here."

Jiang Fan was looking to scale the influence of the Primordial Talisman Sect.

As time went on, the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm was starting to feel cramped.

It wasn't that the physical space was lacking for the population.

Rather, having too many cultivators in one place would cause the Spiritual Qi of the Secret Realm to be consumed too quickly.

This was the primary reason sects limited their disciple count.

An overabundance of disciples would drain the Spiritual Veins faster than they could replenish.

If not for this limitation, every sect would recruit without end.

"Very well, that is fine."

"It is currently sitting empty anyway."

Cang Teng nodded in agreement.

Had this been the Ancient Era, the dragon would never have allowed such a thing.

This was its private sanctuary; why would it let humans move in?

But times had changed.

The Void Realm was on the brink of total annihilation.

If the coming disaster wasn't averted, the entire world—and the Wood Dragon Secret Realm with it—would be wiped out.

Thus, no matter what the human requested, the dragon would likely agree.

Supporting this man was the priority.

"That is excellent."

Jiang Fan smiled.

With the backing of Cang Teng, the Primordial Talisman Sect was destined for a period of explosive growth.

Legend had it that the True Spirit Wood Dragon was a master of Spirit Medicine cultivation in ancient times.

The Wood Dragon Secret Realm was already teeming with rare herbs, making it a land of incredible value.

"Now, I must focus on my own Cultivation."

"I need to break through as soon as possible."

"I am already quite close to the Sixth-Layer Nascent Soul stage."

Having dealt with the immediate crisis, Jiang Fan finally felt he could breathe easy.

His rewards this time were staggering.

He had gained the loyalty of Cang Teng, acquired the Sub-Immortal Artifact Immortal Slaying Flying Saber, and secured the Wood Dragon Secret Realm. It was a massive haul on every front.

He even had the chance to enslave numerous Nascent Soul experts from the Poisonous Scale Flood Dragon Race.

He estimated that it wouldn't be long before he could seize control of the entire Black Dragon Sea Region.

Once that happened, his destiny would surely reach even greater heights.
