Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 866 - 436: Divine Power: Seeing Me as Heaven, 100,000-Year Lifespan (Part 2)
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
They coalesce and restructure within the void, eventually manifesting as rivers of radiant Dao scripture that hover above his head. Each character upon the scripture inhales the surrounding spiritual qi, emitting a profound aura of various laws. This allows one to grasp the laws of the Soaring Snake, including water control, celestial flight, and the swallowing of thunder.
It appears as though the ancient bloodline of the Soaring Snake has been completely revitalized.
"A new bloodline divine technique has been born."
"Its name is: Seeing Me as Heaven."
A flicker of golden light passes through Jiang Fan’s eyes as he interprets the massive influx of information from the depths of his lineage. This is no ordinary divine technique of the Soaring Snake bloodline.
It is a formidable soul divine technique, forged through the fusion of the Soaring Snake bloodline, his personal soul talent, and the great destiny of the emperor.
Once activated, every living being within the reach of his soul power will be subjected to forced control, finding themselves kneeling involuntarily.
The more potent the soul power, the longer the duration the enemy remains on their knees.
They will be utterly incapable of even forming a thought of defiance.
It is exactly like standing before the heavens themselves.
While his previous bloodline divine technique, Soul Devourer, functioned as an offensive soul divine technique, Seeing Me as Heaven serves as a control-oriented soul divine technique.
This authority is reminiscent of the dragon’s might possessed by a True Dragon, which can cow all of creation.
However, his divine technique surpasses dragon’s might; it can physically suppress all beings and compel them to bow down.
To see me is to behold the heavens.
Boom~~
At that moment, Jiang Fan’s heart stirs, and he immediately summons his virtual panel.

Without question, his cultivation progress has advanced significantly compared to the past.
The most notable change is the increase in lifespan, which has jumped from fifty thousand years to a hundred thousand—a total doubling of his years.
If this news were spread, few cultivators would find it believable.
Typical Divinity Transformation cultivators might live for three thousand years, which is already impressive, yet he can endure for a hundred thousand years.
Even the long-lived species of the mortal world are merely on par with this.
"The lifespan has truly skyrocketed."
Jiang Fan tightened his fist, feeling a deep sense of contentment.
Indeed, when his Soaring Snake Technique reached Tier Five, he sensed the massive improvement in his internal life essence, which was now incomparable to his previous state.
Still, he hadn't anticipated the lifespan to climb so high, reaching a staggering hundred thousand years.
With such a vast lifespan, one could witness the rise and fall of countless dynasties.
It is no wonder that the true spirits of the ancient era looked down upon mortals with such indifference.
A single nap for them could last through the deaths of hundreds of mortal generations.
Given that, who would truly care for such short-lived creatures?
The gap in lifespan remains immense even when comparing high-tier cultivators to true spirits.
The very level of their existence is fundamentally different.
Fortunately, by practicing the Soaring Snake Technique, he has joined the ranks of the longevity species, naturally inheriting an expansive lifespan.
"The cultivation has also reached the 60% mark."
"I am not far from Nascent Soul Perfection."
Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes.
In truth, he had not focused much on the Mixed Element Talisman Scripture over the past year.
Nevertheless, by refining the Tier Six spirit medicine, Star Body Tempering Ganoderma, and utilizing the power of this ten-thousand-year-old herb, his cultivation had moved forward at a rapid pace.
Furthermore, the medicinal essence of the Star Body Tempering Ganoderma was only partially absorbed.
If he were to digest it fully, reaching Nascent Soul Perfection would not be a difficult task.
At that point, he might even be able to push his cultivation into the Divinity Transformation Level.
Further qualitative shifts and transformations would surely follow.
"I didn’t expect the Soaring Snake Technique to reach Tier Five so quickly."
"This cultivation speed is truly incredible."
The Primordial Talisman Pen sighed at the sight.
Generally, practicing standard Qi Cultivation techniques is expected to be faster.
After all, Qi Cultivation is often less demanding than body refinement.
The True Spirit Technique, being the peak of body refinement, can cultivate the ultimate true spirit bloodline.
The difficulty of such a path is easy to imagine.
If it were simple, many more would have mastered the True Spirit Technique in ancient times.
Such a method cannot be widely spread; only a handful of geniuses could ever hope to master it.
Yet, Jiang Fan is a blatant outlier, a total freak of nature.
In his case, the True Spirit Technique's cultivation speed is actually faster.
But this is beneficial; a powerful physique makes enduring the Divinity Transformation Thunder Tribulation much simpler.
"Elder Fu, have you determined our exact location in this world?"
Jiang Fan took a breath, settling his surging blood qi as he began his questioning.
He was aware that during this year, the Primordial Talisman Pen had occasionally departed from the Exquisite Tower to scout for information.
He assumed that with Elder Fu’s expertise, the general situation must have been identified.
"My luck was quite good earlier."
"I came across several fallen Nascent Soul cultivators."
"By using the Soul-Searching Technique, I managed to extract most of their memories."
"Through that, I learned about the state of this world."
"According to what those local Nascent Soul cultivators knew, this place is called the Spirit Ruins Realm."
"It is said that this world contains many Spirit Ruins Secret Realms. No one knows their origin, but they are filled with dense spiritual qi and various precious cultivation assets."
"By raiding these Spirit Ruins Secret Realms, the cultivators here have gathered massive resources. Consequently, there are many high-tier experts—not just Divinity Transformation cultivators, but also those at the Void Refining, Integration, and even Mahayana stages. It is a massive world, much like the ancient times of the Void Realm."
The Primordial Talisman Pen spoke with a serious tone.
"I see."
Jiang Fan nodded. He had suspected as much; with such thick spiritual qi and a superior environment, the birth of numerous high-tier cultivators was inevitable.
This intelligence served as a complete confirmation.
"However, this world is also incredibly unstable."
"It is inhabited by three races: the Human Race, the Demon Race, and the Demon Race."
"These three groups occupy three distinct territories within the Spirit Ruins Realm."
"They have been at war for hundreds of millions of years."
"The hatred runs incredibly deep."
"Every century, a major war breaks out, often resulting in massive bloodshed."
"Fortunately, we are currently located deep within Human Race territory, in a place called the Phoenix Mountains."
"Legend says a Phoenix once appeared in the heart of these mountains, giving them their name."
"A major Human city called Phoenix City is nearby, with a population exceeding a hundred million."
"The city lord is Xu Ling, who is at the Divinity Transformation Perfection stage."
The Primordial Talisman Pen shared all the information it had gathered.
This was all possible thanks to the soul memories of the local cultivators.
Without them, such precise intelligence would have been impossible to obtain so quickly.
"Additionally, the Human Race is unified."
"They are known as the Great Xuan Dynasty."
"This dynasty governs the entire Human territory and grants titles to various lords."
"Reaching the Divinity Transformation stage allows one to be a city lord, while reaching Void Refining permits one to become a duke."
"To be a king, one must reach the Integration stage."
"And a Mahayana cultivator can serve as an emperor."
"The current Human Emperor of the Spirit Ruins Realm is Ye Wuxian."
The Primordial Talisman Pen continued its report.
Clearly, the Spirit Ruins Realm is nothing like the Void Realm. The Human Race here has remained unified for ages, avoiding the fragmentation and internal strife found in the Void Realm.
