Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 872 - 439: The World Hunts Life Charts, Life Chart Is Spirit Body
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
Truthfully, ever since Jiang Fan gained the ability to perceive Life Charts, the power to trigger them had become second nature to him.
This was a unique talent of his, or perhaps it could be described as an instinctual drive.
Just as fish are born with the inherent knowledge of how to swim, this skill was innate and required no formal training.
A typical Cultivator would likely need to encounter numerous fortuitous opportunities before they could truly activate their own Life Chart.
However, such struggles were unnecessary for him.
By spending a specific amount of Luck Points, he possessed the capability to assist others in awakening their Life Charts.
The woman standing before him, Ye Linglong, remained unaware of the grueling trials she would normally have to endure to successfully activate her Life Chart; it might have even required her to survive a desperate life-and-death ordeal.
Yet, with his intervention, she could bypass such perilous dangers entirely.
Bang~~
With that thought in mind, Jiang Fan reached out and lightly tapped his finger against Ye Linglong’s forehead.
What?!
Startled by Jiang Fan’s sudden movement, Ye Linglong initially feared this enigmatic Cultivator intended to kill her. However, those fears vanished the moment his finger made gentle contact with her brow.
She felt an 京mysterious energy flow directly into her body.
Boom!
In a heartbeat, she felt a profound shackle deep within her soul shatter. A cryptic power erupted from the core of her being, surging through every part of her frame.
This mystical Qi did more than just perform the Washing Marrow and Cutting Meridians to reconstruct her physique.
Even her innate Spiritual Root Talent underwent a dramatic enhancement.
Though she had previously possessed only a Middle-grade Spirit Root, she had now astonishingly ascended to the rank of a Celestial Spirit Root.
Her mental clarity and comprehension also experienced an incredible surge.
"What did you do to me?"
Ye Linglong’s beautiful eyes widened in utter disbelief.
She could feel a world-shaking transformation occurring within her, sensing that she could achieve Foundation Establishment at any moment if she so desired.
The various Divine Powers she had struggled to learn in the past were suddenly fully comprehended in an instant.
The Cultivation within her Dantian was also increasing at a geometric rate.
"I merely assisted you in breaking your shackles."
"The hour is late; you should make your way back quickly."
Jiang Fan offered no further explanation, simply waving his hand to signal her departure.
"Senior, I thank you for saving my life."
"Should I, Ye Linglong, achieve any greatness in the future, I will surely repay this debt of gratitude."
Ye Linglong gave Jiang Fan a lingering, deep look.
She remained uncertain of this mysterious Senior's true motives regarding her.
However, she understood that the weak possess no voice in this world.
Her only path was to grasp every opportunity, relentlessly improve her Cultivation, and continue her ascent.
Only by seizing power could one truly become the master of their own fate.
She never again wanted to find herself helpless in a life-and-death crisis beyond her control like today.
Swoosh!
With those thoughts, Ye Linglong secured the Thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine and vanished from the area.
Before long, Jiang Fan was the only one remaining in the silent valley.
"Intriguing. So this is how the causal connection functions?"
"By helping others activate their Life Charts, I can claim a portion of their destiny as they grow."
"This is essentially angel investing."
Jiang Fan mused, rubbing his chin.
He could sense a thick, vibrant thread of cause and effect weaving itself between him and Ye Linglong.
Furthermore, this bond felt nearly impossible to sever.
After all, this involved both a life-saving mercy and a favor that granted her the path to the Dao; the weight of such karma was staggering.
To be honest, he felt he had finally discovered the method to cultivate his own 'Great Blessings Equal to Heaven' Life Chart.
He needed to forge causal links with a Child of Fortune.
By helping them awaken their Life Charts, he ensured that as these Children of Fortune flourished, the benefits returned to him would be beyond measure.
Bang~~
Shifting his focus, Jiang Fan swept his hand through the air, instantly collecting the five Storage Bags scattered on the ground.
They had been discarded by the mysterious Cultivators from the previous battle.
With a mere thought, he triggered the Power of Fortune within himself, sending a cryptic energy to wash over the Storage Bags.
Sizzle~~
In a flash, all the tracking techniques and spiritual imprints left on the bags were wiped away. Even the lingering cause and effect dissolved into wisps of black smoke.
This was another application of Luck Points: erasing tracking methods and obscuring the eyes of fate.
By doing this, any traps or markers left by his enemies were completely neutralized, removing any lingering threats.
"Those five were members of the Celestial Punishment Association."
"That is a highly secretive organization that focuses on hunting down the geniuses of the Spirit Ruins Realm."
"It is highly probable they are puppets controlled by the eerie, tasked with pruning the rising stars of this world."
The Primordial Talisman Pen spoke in a somber tone.
It had managed to extract some fragments of memory from the fallen Cultivators.
Although a mysterious seal blocked the most vital information, it had still gleaned their background.
They were originally just mediocre Cultivators from the Great Xuan Dynasty. Under normal circumstances, reaching the Golden Core stage would have been their ceiling. Yet, with the intervention of the Celestial Punishment Association, their progress had been unnaturally fast.
Within just a few centuries, they had surged into the Nascent Soul and even the Divinity Transformation realms.
In truth, many in the Celestial Punishment Association were recruited this way.
The eerie sought out those with poor or average talent, enticing them with the promise of vast power and rapid Cultivation if they joined the association.
What these Cultivators failed to realize was that they had long since been enslaved by the eerie, turned into mere puppets.
When the time came, they were nothing more than expendable suicide warriors.
Countless prodigies had met a tragic end at the hands of these people.
Even if a few members were captured, it would do nothing to damage the true core of the Celestial Punishment Association.
"This world is indeed full of hidden perils."
Jiang Fan said, his eyes narrowing thoughtfully.
