Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 922 - 463: Third-Layer Divinity Transformation, Heaven-Stealing Claw Talisman

Simultaneously, Jiang Fan stepped into an enigmatic realm via the Gate of the Void.

Right upon his arrival in this spot, a piercing icy gust assaulted him without delay.

"What sort of location is this?"

Jiang Fan's eyes widened sharply.

It seemed he had entered a frozen tundra, where the surrounding winds acted like myriad icy knives, relentlessly carving across this perpetual icefield.

Underfoot, the snow had solidified into something as unyielding as steel, each footfall producing a dull crunch, as though the ground itself cried out in agony. A chilly, pale blue glow emanated from the snow cover, one that even sunlight failed to breach, casting a pall of hopelessness over the entire world.

In the far-off distance, the icy trees stood as the sole signs of "existence" amid this barrenness, yet they chilled more deeply than demise itself. These did not sprout in natural fashion; their limbs coiled like petrified bolts of lightning, formed wholly from see-through ice shards, ready to splinter into fragments at the slightest touch.

Most bizarre were the runes, not etched upon the surface but slithering like vital beings under the frost, at times shining with a ghostly azure gleam, at others vanishing into the profound icy tones, as though murmuring long-forgotten mysteries entombed by ages.

"Master, it appears you've reached a domain severed from cause and effect."

In that instant, the Human Emperor Sword's voice echoed, carrying a grave tone.

It perceived matters on a profounder level.

The causal links tied to its master appeared utterly broken within this vast expanse.

This was no commonplace area.

Back in the former Void Realm, locating a zone detached from cause and effect proved exceedingly rare.

Each such peculiar domain harbored either immense fortune or dire disaster.

"A domain detached from cause and effect?"

Jiang Fan's gaze sharpened.

He swiftly realized that the Cause and Effect Communication Immortal Talisman he carried had lost all function, blocking any outreach to those beyond. Earlier, from outside, he had managed to reach his Dao Companion in the Void Realm.

Who could have foreseen that upon entering here, the Cause and Effect Communication Immortal Talisman would turn ineffective?

"That's correct, since I wrecked the Cyan Stone Demon Cave, demons are pursuing me."

"To endure, I had to seek out a domain detached from cause and effect."

"No surprise fate urged me to teleport at random."

"Thus, is this the sanctuary fate guided me toward?"

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

A spark ignited in his mind, as he sensed the Gate of the Void he possessed remained operational.

This indicated that, should he desire, departure from this enigmatic realm lay within his grasp at any moment.

For most cultivators, entry here might trap them inescapably.

Yet he stood apart; exit beckoned whenever he chose.

Still, such action proved unnecessary.

For should he depart, demons could locate him, sealing his doom without question.

Better to remain, refine his cultivation, elevate his realm, and evade the looming peril.

"Master, though the winds here cut like extinction's breath."

"Still, the Spiritual Qi brims with astonishing density, rivaling a true Cultivation Holy Land."

The Demon-Vibrating Bell cried out in shock.

It detected the atmosphere saturated with potent Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, hitting at least Tier Seven standards.

One must recall this was untamed wilderness, devoid of Spirit Veins.

Yet even here, the Spiritual Qi soared to Tier Seven potency, marking it as a genuine Grotto Heaven Blessed Land.

The abundance bordered on the absurd.

"No, no, this chill isn't mundane."

"It looks capable of icing over Magical Power itself."

At that juncture, Jiang Fan's eyes narrowed, spotting wisps of frosty vapor nearby that behaved like animated entities, seeking to invade his form.

He promptly channeled his Magical Power, erecting a protective Barrier to repel the invading chill.

However, the Barrier offered only limited defense.

Traces of frost persisted in seeping through, briefly disrupting the flow of his Magical Power.

Prolonged exposure to these winds and flakes would transform even a Divinity Transformation Cultivator like him into a frozen statue.

"Master, the terror of this cold goes beyond measure."

"The sun overhead appears odd as well, as though its rays carry a freezing might."

The Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace blurted in alarm.

"What?"

Jiang Fan glanced skyward, beholding a spectral sun that gleamed in pure white, akin to a frozen orb.

From it descended beams of light.

Yet these beams draped over him, delivering assaults of chill like glacial strikes.

This left his skin exhibiting signs of frostbite.

Remember, as a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, commonplace cold posed no threat to him.

"Damn, this chill defies the norm."

"If I'm right, this could be the fabled Nine Netherworld Cold Qi."

"Legends say it originates from the Nine Nether Realm, not mere physical frost, but infused with a 'Death Qi' that bites. It doesn't just encase the body; it seizes 'life force' and 'soul' alike. Contact brings swift depletion of vitality, plunging the spirit into endless void."

"Damn, what manner of place is this?"

"Could it be a form of Hell?"

The Primordial Talisman Pen gasped.

"Master, seek shelter without delay."

"Steer clear of the sunlight here at all costs, lest doom claim you."

The Exquisite Tower urged.

Swish!

With that resolve, Jiang Fan gave a nod, his figure blurring as he dashed off to find nearby cover.
