Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 859 - 433: Final Tribulation Surpassed, Gaining a Second-Grade Opportunity

Furthermore, it cast an Illusion Technique, provoking the Heart Demon of the Array Spirit Burial and seizing the chance to modify a portion of the entity's memories.

Even after successfully embedding itself as the other's companion, the Soul Devourer remained cautious and did not act recklessly.

It was acutely aware of the terrifying nature of the seal binding it.

Any hasty movement would undoubtedly result in failure.

Thus, it endured in silence, constantly maintaining its disguise while waiting for the perfect moment to break free.

"It is no marvel that Daoist Yiling perished and failed to ascend to Divinity Transformation."

"The Divine Wood Sword must have been secretly sabotaging everything."

At this moment, the Array Spirit Burial began to piece together the strange occurrences of the past, one by one.

Originally, it had assumed that Daoist Yiling's failure to reach Divinity Transformation was merely due to poor Destiny.

After all, such tragedies had occurred countless times throughout history.

Not every gifted cultivator reaches the peak; there are far too many unpredictable variables.

But now, it seemed clear that the Divine Wood Sword—or rather, the Soul Devourer—had been pulling the strings from the shadows.

This manipulation had led the other party toward total destruction.

Because these schemes went unnoticed, Daoist Yiling met his end.

And he was not the only victim.

Over the long years, many promising Divinity Transformation Seeds had fallen.

It stands to reason that all of them shared a significant connection to the Soul Devourer.

Fortunately, this human cultivator had unmasked the truth; otherwise, the Array Spirit Burial would have been condemned even in death.

Boom~~

Suddenly, a notification surged into the depths of Jiang Fan’s mind: "You have exposed the Soul Devourer’s scheme and successfully slain this Ancient Demon. By narrowly escaping a fatal crisis, you have gained a Second-Grade Opportunity and ten million Luck Points."

Upon sensing this, Jiang Fan felt an immediate sense of relief.

There was no longer any doubt; it was only now that he had truly overcome this tribulation.

Previously, because the trial had not been fully resolved, no notification had appeared.

He had not anticipated that defeating the Soul Devourer would yield such immense rewards.

A Second-Grade Opportunity was already a substantial prize.

However, ten million Luck Points represented a staggering fortune.

This reflected the magnitude of the catastrophe this Ancient Demon might have unleashed.

Had it not been for him, there is no telling how many lives the Soul Devourer would have consumed.

Such a slaughter would have inevitably dealt a devastating blow to the Human Race within the Void Realm.

"Master, the Soul Devourer has left behind a core."

"I believe I am capable of refining it."

The Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron suddenly spoke up.

It noted that after its master killed the Soul Devourer, a black crystal the size of a fist had dropped from the massive corpse. It was etched with intricate black sigils and looked incredibly eerie.

Simultaneously, it radiated a dense demonic aura alongside pure soul energy.

"You can refine it?"

"If I am correct, this should be a demon’s core."

"However, this Demon Core is filled with vast Demonic Qi and likely possesses intense corrosive properties."

Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow in surprise.

He also observed the unique crystal remaining after the Ancient Demon’s demise.

But since this was a Demon Core, it was not something a typical cultivator could hope to refine.

If a normal cultivator attempted to absorb it, they would likely be overwhelmed by the massive Demonic Power, eventually transforming into a new demon themselves.

This was the true horror of demons; they could corrupt living souls with their pollutant nature.

"Had I not evolved into the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron, I would likely be powerless against it."

"But as an Immortal Artifact, I now possess the power to refine anything in existence."

"A simple Demon Core poses no challenge."

The Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron declared with absolute confidence.

"Very well, give it a try."

Jiang Fan hesitated for a moment, but seeing no warning from his destiny hint, he concluded that this path held no hidden dangers, only great potential.

He allowed the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron to proceed, curious to see the result.

"Understood."

The Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron was filled with excitement as it immediately drew the fist-sized Demon Core into its belly.

Boom~~

In an instant, strands of the Qi of Ten Thousand Transformations surged within the vessel. These strands seemed to hold the conceptual Law to break down all matter, including the Demon Core.

Under the influence of the Power of Ten Thousand Transformations, the demonic aura, Demonic Power, and the corruptive concepts within the core were all systematically dismantled and purified.

In a short span of time, the fist-sized Demon Core shrank significantly until it was only the size of a glass bead.

However, with all impurities purged, it had become a transparent, crystalline soul core.

This crystal radiated a wealth of soul energy, comparable to a ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine.

It was, without question, a peerless treasure of the soul.

"It actually worked?"

"So, killing demons can indeed provide such benefits."

"Utilizing the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron, even demons can be repurposed."

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin, feeling immensely satisfied.

Discovering that the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron possessed this ability was a massive boon for his future.

If he consumed this Soul Crystal, his soul energy would surely reach new heights.

Boom~~

With that thought, Jiang Fan wasted no time and swallowed the Soul Crystal.

The crystal dissolved instantly upon his tongue, transforming into rivers of soul energy that flooded his sea of consciousness.

Immediately, he sensed his soul energy growing at an exponential rate.

His Spiritual Power had already reached the peak of Divinity Transformation Perfection.

Normally, advancing further would have been impossible without a long period of cultivation.

Yet, after absorbing the Soul Devourer’s Soul Crystal, the massive energy allowed him to effortlessly shatter the bottleneck of his Spiritual Sense.

Bong!

In a flash, Jiang Fan felt his Spiritual Sense expanding outward, undergoing a fundamental transformation.

Previously, his Spiritual Power could only encompass the world around him.

Now, it began to pierce through the fabric of space, entering a microscopic state.

He could faintly perceive the Void Energy that existed everywhere.

"Is this the Spiritual Sense belonging to the Refining Void stage?"

"I can actually perceive the void?!"

"No, it is more than just perception."

"If this Spiritual Sense continues to evolve, I might even be able to refine Void Energy itself."

Jiang Fan’s pupils shrank in shock.

He realized that while the range of his Spiritual Sense remained at a ten-thousand-kilometer radius, its potency had increased tenfold.

Before, he could only command the Power of Heaven and Earth; now, he could tap into traces of Void Energy, marking a massive qualitative shift.

This was undeniably the Spiritual Sense of a Void Refining level expert.

It existed on a completely different plane compared to his previous state.

With this level of Spiritual Sense mastered, there would be no more obstacles to reaching the Refining Void stage.

As long as his cultivation base was sufficient, he would step into that realm naturally.

The defeat of the Ancient Demon Soul Devourer had clearly provided him with a monumental advantage.

It had allowed him to bypass a major bottleneck of the soul.

If that demon knew its death had fueled his growth, it would surely die of rage all over again.

"It is no wonder the Spiritual Sense of Refining Void so thoroughly outclasses Divinity Transformation."

"They cannot even be compared."

"It is a jump to an entirely different dimension."

Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes.

Since the Spiritual Sense of the Void Refining Level could merge with the void itself, it became one with the environment.

Even if he spread it out, a Divinity Transformation Cultivator would be unable to detect a single trace of him.

They simply occupied different tiers of existence.

Thus, a Void Refining Cultivator could observe those at lower levels with impunity, while the Low-Tier Cultivators remained completely oblivious.

"Furthermore, the energy within this Soul Crystal hasn't been entirely exhausted."

"This means my Spiritual Power will continue to grow rapidly for some time."

"Truly, the Demon Core of an Ancient Demon is as valuable as the rarest Treasures of Heaven and Earth."

"However, only the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron has the power to turn such waste into treasure."

"Any other cultivator would find a Demon Core completely useless."

Jiang Fan stroked his chin thoughtfully.

He realized the exceptional nature of the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron.

While many Immortal Artifacts exist, they vary wildly in power and grade.

The unique abilities of the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron were far beyond those of standard Immortal Artifacts.

That was the only reason it could successfully refine a Demon Core.
