Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 852 - 430: The Three Divinity Transformation Trials and the Primordial Spirit Pill

"So, reaching the Divinity Transformation stage truly necessitates a Primordial Spirit Pill? It is no wonder the Southern Continent has lacked a Divinity Transformation Cultivator for such a long time."

"It is likely due to the absence of the Spirit Medicine required for the recipe, making the breakthrough to Divinity Transformation nearly impossible."

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

He was well aware that the Southern Continent suffered from a scarcity of resources, particularly those of a high tier for cultivation.

This resource drought was the primary reason no Divinity Transformation Cultivator had emerged there for ages.

Without the assistance of a Primordial Spirit Pill, the Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Southern Continent are unable to clear the very first hurdle, let alone the subsequent ones.

Naturally, a Cultivator possessing monstrous, heaven-defying talent might bypass this requirement and succeed without a pill.

Regrettably, no such peerless genius has graced the Southern Continent in thousands of years.

In fact, a talent of that magnitude is a rarity even in a ten-thousand-year span.

Furthermore, even if such a prodigy existed, there is no guarantee they would survive long enough to reach the Nascent Soul level.

"You are correct; the Southern Continent is far too barren, which stifles the birth of Divinity Transformation Cultivators."

"The abundance of Divinity Transformation Demon Cultivators within the Void Secret Realm is due to the presence of Tier Five Spirit Medicine needed for the Primordial Spirit Pill."

"The environment itself places too many limitations upon Cultivators."

The Primordial Talisman Pen expressed its strong agreement with this assessment.

It suspected that without the Gate of the Void, Jiang Fan might have found himself stranded at the Nascent Soul stage as well.

The local cultivation resources of the Southern Continent simply cannot sustain the rise of a Divinity Transformation powerhouse.

However, with the ongoing revival of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, the Southern Continent might witness radical transformations in the days to come.

"The primary component for the Primordial Spirit Pill is the Primordial Spirit Flower."

"As a Tier Five Spirit Medicine, it is completely non-existent in the Southern Continent."

"Nevertheless, it can be tracked down in the Western Continent or within the Void Secret Realm."

"Since I already possess the pill recipe, the actual refining process won't be much of a hurdle."

Jiang Fan's brow arched slightly.

While he personally had no need for the Primordial Spirit Pill, the same could not be said for his Dao Companion or his disciples. Eventually, many members of the Primordial Talisman Sect would require a steady supply of these pills to break through to Divinity Transformation.

"Under normal circumstances, one would need a Tier Five Alchemist to refine such a pill."

"Pill refining is notoriously difficult, and Tier Five Alchemists are few and far between."

"However, the Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace has transitioned into the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron. Being an Immortal Artifact, it possesses the trait of automatic refinement."

"With the capabilities of the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron, producing the Primordial Spirit Pill should be a simple matter."

The Primordial Talisman Pen spoke with profound emotion.

It had never anticipated that the furnace would evolve, much less become a fabled Immortal Artifact.

The ability to refine pills automatically was astounding.

It was essentially a living Grandmaster Alchemist.

Owning the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron was equivalent to having the world's most proficient Alchemist at one's beck and call.

Had this been told to others, very few would have found it believable.

"Master, leave this to me. Alchemy is nothing more than child's play."

"The functions of other Magical Treasures truly can't compare to mine."

"Still, even a stray nail or a scrap of paper has its place in the world."

The Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron boasted with great arrogance.

It viewed itself as the master's premier Magical Treasure, looking down on the Demon-Vibrating Bell and the Primordial Talisman Pen as mere secondary concubines who couldn't match its worth.

In the past, it had indeed underestimated its own potential.

Truly, the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron stood as the peak Magical Treasure of this realm; even the Human Emperor Sword was merely its equal, and the sword certainly lagged behind in terms of utility to their master.

"Pfft."

The Demon-Vibrating Bell and the Exquisite Tower burned with indignation at these words; the cauldron was clearly gloating over its success.

Yet, they were powerless to retort, as the cauldron had already ascended to the rank of an Immortal Artifact, placing it beyond their reach.

The revelation that its true form was an Immortal Artifact was simply preposterous.

"Once the Primordial Spirit Seed is formed, what other trials must be faced?"

Jiang Fan questioned.

He was certain that condensing the seed was not the final step; there were bound to be further obstacles.

"Correct, there are three distinct barriers to achieving Divinity Transformation."

"The first is the Primordial Spirit Barrier, which entails the condensation of the Primordial Spirit Seed."

"The second is the Heart Demon Barrier. The act of condensing the Primordial Spirit draws in Heart Demons and Outer Celestial Demons. Failure to withstand this barrier results in the Heart Demon consuming the Primordial Spirit, leading to one's demise and the total dispersal of their Dao."

"The third is the Celestial Tribulation Barrier. Reaching Divinity Transformation triggers a specific Thunder Tribulation. You witnessed those Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators facing it earlier; only survivors of the lightning can truly claim the rank of Divinity Transformation."

"Furthermore, the Thunder Tribulation is a blessing in disguise. By enduring it, one absorbs a vast quantity of Qi of Creation, which significantly aids in the maturation of the Primordial Spirit."

The Primordial Talisman Pen provided the explanation.

Though there are only three hurdles to Divinity Transformation, each one is exceptionally lethal.

Even a genius with immense talent might clear the first only to perish during the second or third.

If not for these trials, the Southern Continent would not have suffered a millenia-long drought of Divinity Transformation experts.

"What makes a Divinity Transformation Cultivator so powerful that they completely eclipse those at the Nascent Soul stage?"

Jiang Fan stroked his chin, filled with curiosity.

He had never actually fought a Divinity Transformation Cultivator.

This wasn't because he couldn't find them, but because his 'Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil' talent always led him away from such encounters.

Consequently, he rarely faced mortal peril, but it also meant he lacked firsthand knowledge of their true strength.

"The overwhelming power of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator stems entirely from the Primordial Spirit."

"Once that spirit is fully developed, they command the Divinity Transformation Law Domain, allowing them to achieve a state of Soul Fusion with Heaven and Earth."
