Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 901 - 452: Destiny Surges, Rise of the Child of Destiny (Part 2)

Simultaneously, he merged the talisman seamlessly into his Primordial Spirit, turning it into his very own Life Talisman.

Faintly, the silhouette of an ancient furnace etched itself onto his Primordial Spirit, merging as an integral component.

"Time to examine the might of the Celestial-Filling Furnace Talisman."

With just a single thought, Jiang Fan promptly triggered the Celestial-Filling Furnace Talisman.

The talisman burst forth in a flash, as streams of brilliant light gathered to form an archaic and unadorned furnace—the Celestial-Filling Furnace. Its frame appeared forged from chaotic azure rock, etched with myriad enigmatic runes that shifted like living beings, at times shaping starry paths, at others forming rugged ranges, subtly embodying the deep enigma of "The Dao is Fifty, Heaven Evolves Forty-Nine". The vapors rising from the furnace's opening weren't mere flames, but a vivid, multicolored Qi of Creation, which instantly drew in a frenzied influx of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi the moment it manifested.

Swoosh!

In the instant that followed, he retrieved the Great Sun Buddha Mirror from within himself and inserted it into the Celestial-Filling Furnace.

Once the mirror slipped inside the furnace, its hidden secrets swiftly unveiled themselves.

"That many fractures?!"

"What kind of destruction did it endure?"

Jiang Fan's eyes narrowed sharply upon spotting at least forty-nine fissures within the Great Sun Buddha Mirror. To be honest, without pouring vast quantities of Luck Points into refining and partially reviving its might,

the mirror's inherent spirit could have kept waning away.

In merely a few centuries more, this divine artifact would have utterly lost all its potency.

"I get it now."

"It's clear why the Celestial-Filling Furnace Talisman can mend injuries on magical treasures."

"It draws forth the Qi of Creation from between Heaven and Earth."

"Then, that Qi of Creation soothes the inner wounds of the artifact, restoring it entirely."

A spark of insight lit up in Jiang Fan's gaze, as if a sudden revelation dawned on him.

As the Great Sun Buddha Mirror settled into the Celestial-Filling Furnace, the runes across the furnace's surface flared with intense brilliance.

With a resonant "hum", the roaming runes surged toward the mirror's face; some morphed into golden strands to weave shut the breaches, others became nourishing dew to drench the splits, while the essential Qi of Creation flooded into the mirror's core like an overwhelming wave.

Enveloped by the Qi of Creation, the borders of the initial crack shed their lifeless pallor, radiating a subtle Buddha Light.

At the break, the shattered mirror face began to reform visibly to the eye, and a hazy Buddha Dharma image emerged.

Yet, the energy from the Celestial-Filling Furnace Talisman soon ebbed away rapidly.

"It fixed just a single crack?"

"In the end, this isn't the true Celestial Immortal Artifact known as the Celestial-Filling Furnace, merely a Celestial-Filling Furnace Talisman."

"The talisman's strength is naturally restricted."

"One Celestial-Filling Furnace Talisman summons only a single instance of Qi of Creation."

"Given the multitude of cracks present, fully sealing them would demand no fewer than forty-nine days."

"Still, should all those cracks get thoroughly sealed, it would unleash transformative shifts and immensely amplify the Great Sun Buddha Mirror's capabilities."

Jiang Fan brimmed with exhilaration.

He now glimpsed the path to total revival for the Great Sun Buddha Mirror.

Before, he had no clue how to mend this divine treasure, but with the successful forging of the Celestial-Filling Furnace Talisman, everything shifted dramatically.

"That said, the Gate of the Void's tier is extraordinarily lofty."

"A mere Entry Level Celestial-Filling Furnace Talisman has zero impact on the Gate of the Void."

"Likely, elevating the Celestial-Filling Furnace Talisman's proficiency is essential to heal the Gate of the Void."

"But mending the Great Sun Buddha Mirror alone would be an extraordinary feat."

Jiang Fan curved his lips into a faint smile.

He felt deeply pleased by the Celestial-Filling Furnace Talisman's prowess.

After all, even at entry level, this talisman wielded such astonishing might.

It far outstripped ordinary mortal talismans in potency.

Boom~~

With these thoughts, Jiang Fan's mind stirred, and he swiftly summoned the virtual interface before him.

[Name: Jiang Fan]

[Life Chart: Great Blessings Equal to Heaven, Attribute: Suffer a great calamity but have a great fortune in its wake]

[Lifespan: 150,000 years]

[Spirit Root: Celestial Spirit Root]

[Realm: Second-Layer Divinity Transformation (1%)]

[Profession: Tier Five Low Grade Talisman Master (65%)]

It's undeniable that stepping into the second layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm had massively elevated every aspect of his stats.

After enduring two disasters, his Luck Points had exploded to a whopping 28,000,000.

Naturally, over this past year, he had burned through plenty of luck to advance the Life Talisman's proficiency and grasp the Celestial-Filling Furnace Talisman, leaving just 28 million remaining.

Nevertheless, such a vast reserve of luck remained profoundly impressive.

"After all this cultivation, I'll likely master several Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans to proficiency soon enough."

"Once they reach proficiency, the Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans' strength will undoubtedly surge dramatically."

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

He sensed that entering the Divinity Transformation Realm had sharpened his command over the Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talismans.

Without question, forming the Primordial Spirit had vastly heightened his insight.

This explained his swift progress in upgrading the Life Talisman's levels.

Moreover, he could tackle several pursuits concurrently, delving into various Life Talismans all at once.

Clearly, this stemmed from the perks of reaching the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Had he lingered at the Nascent Soul stage, juggling so many Life Talismans in parallel would have been impossible.

The time drain alone would have been staggering.

Even for a typical Divinity Transformation Cultivator, multitasking comprehension might occur, but without sufficient insight, advancement would crawl at a torturous pace or stall entirely.

Ultimately, unlocking the secrets of Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans demands true understanding; mere extended effort yields no breakthrough without it.

"My Destiny has grown considerably too."

"I never anticipated my Destiny would climb so steeply in only a year."

Jiang Fan's mind stirred, drawing his attention to the Fortune Golden Dragon upon him.

Relative to its prior form, its bulk had at least doubled in scale.

He hadn't foreseen his Destiny expanding at such a breakneck rate.

Yet, this surge tied directly to the pair of Children of Fortune.

For instance, Ye Linglong's Destiny had rocketed skyward after awakening her Life Chart and ascending as the Great Xuan Dynasty's princess, flooding him with boundless Destiny.

Likewise, Shi Ping’an's Destiny, though not exploding like Ye Linglong's, had climbed steadily, accelerating especially in recent times.

What astonished him further was the discovery of over twenty Life Chart bearers in Green Willow Village. While most possessed Lower Grade or Middle Grade Life Charts, the phenomenon was still remarkable.

It could only mean that Children of Destiny inherently attract clusters of exceptional talents nearby.

"Beyond this, the Demon Realm hides other human settlements."

"Those human enclaves must harbor numerous gifted souls."

"Linking such villages together might propel Shi Ping’an’s Destiny to new heights."

"In turn, boosting his cultivation pace exponentially."

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin again.

Still, he had no intention of meddling in Shi Ping’an’s path. Beings like Children of Destiny thrive without outside meddling, sprouting like resilient weeds under scant light and rain.

Even amid endless trials, they endure unscathed by fate's tempests.

This resilience defines the terror of a Child of Destiny.

Hence, minimal involvement sufficed for Shi Ping’an—just sharing wisdom and resolving doubts.

This very trait made him eager to claim a Child of Destiny as his pupil.

After all, disciples of this caliber demand little oversight, blossoming swiftly into mighty pillars.

Every mentor likely yearns for apprentices like these.

Finding one, however, proves exceedingly rare.

They emerge scarcely once per age.

Boom~~

Right then, Jiang Fan's core quivered, as a destiny alert pierced straight into the depths of his consciousness.
