Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 930 - 466: Two Immortal Destiny Life Charts, A New Child of Fortune (Part 2)
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
The power behind this Life Chart remains straightforward: it forms a binding contract.
Whenever a vow is exchanged with her, that vow demands absolute fulfillment.
Should the vow get shattered, the breaker will suffer instant death, the loss of all cultivation, and every belonging seized entirely by her.
Naturally, upholding the vow brings boundless rewards, such as destiny's shield, boosted insight, and a host of deep-seated perks.
"What in the world is going on? Why are there two Immortal Destiny Life Charts right here?"
Jiang Fan felt stunned, struggling to accept it, since he'd never encountered anything like this before.
Even in a vast place like the Spirit Ruins Realm, snagging two Immortal Destiny Life Charts counts as a miracle, nearly impossible to surpass.
After all, across the Endless Void, worlds stretch without end, yet Life Charts stay finite in number.
Spread out over various worlds, those Life Charts turn incredibly rare.
But right now, Jiang Fan had uncovered four Immortal Destiny Life Charts in the Spirit Ruins Realm, a discovery that left him utterly shocked.
"Hold on, these probably aren't Life Charts tied to the Spirit Ruins Realm—they might come from this Immortal Prison instead."
"Perhaps only those born within the Immortal Prison can claim these two Immortal Destiny Life Charts."
"Plus, they can't escape the Ice Prison, so they don't qualify as Spirit Ruins Realm cultivators."
"That said, based on Ice Prison's own cultivation assets, these two could actually ascend to Immortality."
Jiang Fan narrowed his gaze.
Without question, by rescuing these folks, he gained insights into Ice Prison's inner workings while freeing two Children of Destiny.
Triggering the Life Charts on them could shower him with vast destiny and massive gains.
For Jiang Fan, the top reward lay in their rescue alone.
"A Thousand Thoughts, One Gain—truly a mighty Life Chart for comprehension."
"Vows of Mountains and Seas, this Life Chart carries an exceptionally enigmatic and potent edge. One wrong move could trap endless foes unwittingly, given how few in the Cultivation Realm honor their oaths."
Jiang Fan narrowed his gaze.
He swiftly spent a portion of his destiny to awaken their Life Charts.
Without his help, who could say what ordeals they'd face just to ignite their Life Charts for real.
Still, apart from those three, the others were just regular folks lacking unique Life Charts.
...
One day passed.
Xu Chenyang and the Ice Lotus Village residents fully adjusted to life in this cavern.
Thanks to the Heaven-Covering Wheel Talisman's guard, the outer chill posed no threat.
On top of that, Jiang Fan handed over plenty of Spirit Rice, sorting out their meals for the moment.
The group soon turned the cavern into a cozy spot.
"Elder, this spot beats our old Ice Lotus Village hands down."
"Absolutely, even though it's only a cave, it blocks out the brutal frost—feels like snuggling by a warm fire, so cozy."
"True, I've never slept this deep before. Back in Ice Lotus Village, the cold jolted me awake multiple times daily, no real rest, but here I conked out for hours straight."
"You're right, this place is basic, yet if picking between them, I'd take this one every time."
The villagers chatted with excitement, every face beaming with delight.
After endless flight, they'd endured nonstop worry, skimpy on food and clothes.
But since that enigmatic Divinity Transformation expert saved them, days had turned remarkably better than ever.
"Yeah, this lord is genuinely kind-hearted."
Xu Chenyang nodded along.
Sure, at first the lord acted overbearing, calling them slaves, yet which slaves enjoy such freedom, plus shelter and sustenance.
If slavery meant this, plenty in Ice Prison would line up for it.
"Still, this spot stays pretty basic."
"We ought to tidy it up some."
"At minimum, turn it into a peaceful haven."
"We should also dispatch scouts to check the area around us."
"Since we're unsure if this suits long-term living."
Xu Chenyang issued the command.
Though they now basked in the lord's safeguard, seeming secure,
truth be told, plenty of work remained ahead.
Above all, grasping the local terrain mattered, spotting zones teeming with fierce Exotic Beasts.
Fail that, and stepping outside the cave could spell doom.
"Understood, Elder."
Everyone nodded firmly.
Having endured Ice Prison's harshness for years, they knew exactly how to proceed.
Close by, young Lu Zicheng cradled his sister, dozing off in deep slumber.
Peaceful sleep like this had eluded him for ages.
......
Naturally, for Jiang Fan, shielding these everyday cultivators ranked as a minor chore.
Nothing more than a passing effort.
His true focus stayed on cultivation.
So he left them behind and headed back to the Exquisite Tower.
At the same time, Jiang Fan at last unlocked the Space Ring, claiming the Third-Grade Opportunity.
A Void Refining-grade Spirit Medicine—the Cold Jade Ice Heart Lotus.
This lotus blooms in a frigid pond aged ten thousand years, its petals firm and icy like jade, harboring a single drop of Ice Heart Jade Dew at the core.
Swallowing it helps the body endure harsh frost, bolstering cold endurance, forging meridians and organs tougher—a Body Tempering Spirit Medicine brimming with endless marvels.
No doubt, this hailed from Ice Prison's unique offerings.
Probably some Ice Prison cultivator snagged this Tier Six Spirit Medicine, only to fall to Exotic Beasts before using it, ending up as beast fodder.
Through fate's wild path, this Tier Six Spirit Medicine ended up with Jiang Fan.
One could call it destiny's hand.
"Taking the Cold Jade Ice Heart Lotus could skyrocket my progress in the Soaring Snake Technique."
"It ought to push this True Spirit Technique into the Middle Stage of Tier Five."
Jiang Fan gave a faint smile, his heart swelling with delight.
After all, boosting the Soaring Snake Technique proved tough normally, yet Spirit Medicine aid changed everything, promising swift gains.
What's more, a True Spirit Technique breakthrough not only surges power but also lengthens life—a win on every front with tons of upsides.
"The Divinity Transformation section of the Soaring Snake Technique is the Bone Marrow Refining part."
"It demands embedding three thousand Soaring Serpent Runes into the bone marrow for full mastery."
"This shifts the bone marrow into Divine Marrow."
"That said, to hit the Middle Stage of Tier Five, a thousand Soaring Serpent Runes must enter the bone marrow."
"But for me, that's no big hurdle."
Jiang Fan rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
For typical cultivators, weaving Soaring Serpent Runes into bone marrow posed a nightmare.
Lacking keen spiritual sense, detecting the body's bone marrow clearly became near impossible.
Even sensing it, fusing those Runes proved far harder.
But Jiang Fan stood apart; his spiritual sense had climbed to Third-Layer Void Refining strength.
Way beyond standard Divinity Transformation levels.
Armed with such sharp spiritual sense, capable of grasping Void Energy, spotting bone marrow came effortlessly.
Paired with this Void Refining-grade Spirit Medicine, breaking through to the Middle Stage of Tier Five in the Soaring Snake Technique was just time away.
Boom~~
With that in mind, Jiang Fan wasted no time, firing up the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron to swiftly process the Void Refining-grade Spirit Medicine, the Cold Jade Ice Heart Lotus, distilling it into sparkling medicinal drops.
All dross got purged, isolating nothing but refined essence.
He gulped down a single drop without delay.
Dong!
That drop packed immense power, brimming with fearsome Ice Power that iced over his frame the instant it hit.
Threads of Ice Power scoured every inch of his insides.
Yet past the Ice Power, the key lay in vitality's force.
Each time Ice Power tore at his flesh, vitality's surge mended it fast.
Through this loop, his frame grew tougher bit by bit, showing clear improvement.
Countless Soaring Serpent Runes sprang up fast in his bone marrow.
Dimly, every marrow droplet shifted from the Runes' embedding.
