Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 932 - 467: 200,000-Year Lifespan, Soaring Snake Technique Breakthrough (Part 2)

He couldn't foresee exactly when his master would come out of seclusion.

"Don't hurry, let's concentrate on our initial preparations first."

"After Lord Jiang finishes his seclusion, we'll begin constructing the village."

All of them agreed with nods, showing no impatience.

For the time being, remaining in the cave proved to be a decent option.

Every task requires proceeding gradually, one step at a time.

"Right."

Lu ZhiCheng gave a nod in agreement.

His fists tightened as a fiercer craving for strength surged within him.

In that moment, memories of the cultivation insights and talisman teachings from his master flooded his mind.

Should he grasp them completely, he'd undoubtedly rise as a mighty guardian of a region.

Besides, since encountering his master, his thoughts had sharpened, and his understanding deepened remarkably.

It appeared that any wisdom shared by his master allowed him to absorb it with remarkable speed.

He remained unaware of the exact changes happening in his physique, yet he sensed it was a positive shift, enhancing his innate abilities.

This went beyond merely becoming his master's apprentice; his little sister Lu Duoduo had also taken on that role, displaying talents far beyond the ordinary.

In time, Lu Duoduo might surpass him in accomplishments.

However, she was far too youthful; regardless of her exceptional gifts, growth demanded patience and years.

…

At the same moment, within the Exquisite Tower.

A silhouette positioned itself in a cross-legged stance upon the floor.

Around his form, immense quantities of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi swirled vigorously, awakening as if anew, morphing into coiling serpents that funneled into him.

Faintly, myriad enigmatic symbols surfaced amid the surrounding Spiritual Qi's core.

From emptiness echoed the profound cries of mythical beasts.

Without question, following three months of dedicated practice, Jiang Fan had advanced rapidly in the Soaring Snake Technique.

Aided by potent medicinal essence and boundless destiny, the soaring snake runes had embedded themselves into his bone marrow, now numbering one thousand.

Deep inside his marrow, every rune gleamed with golden radiance, pulsing as though alive, triggering a miraculous shift in his very essence.

The Qi and blood within him surged wildly, roiling akin to molten lava.

His frame resembled a colossal volcano on the verge.

Upon eruption, it promised devastation that could rend the earth, harboring power beyond imagination.

"The moment has arrived."

Jiang Fan remained seated cross-legged, delving deeply into the secrets of the Soaring Snake Technique.

Having fused a thousand soaring snake runes, advancing to mid-Tier Five required his bloodline force to infuse every rune, uniting them as one.

In this way, his bloodline would evolve profoundly.

For typical cultivators, this feat posed great difficulty, yet for Jiang Fan, it came with ease.

After all, his endless destiny acted like heavenly aid.

Boom~~

Suddenly, Jiang Fan expended a massive portion of luck points, converting them into ethereal energies that delved into his core, awakening the soaring snake runes to vibrate in harmony.

An overwhelming bloodline force coursed through the thousand soaring snake runes.

It felt as if a primordial soaring snake materialized in his marrow, wandering freely across his form.

Dong!

Under Jiang Fan's control, this immense bloodline vitality crashed against the mid-Tier Five bottleneck. A single impact sufficed to demolish it, tearing it asunder.

At once, his bloodline density intensified even more.

In the void, roars from ancient soaring snakes seemed to quake the heavens and earth.

All the soaring snake runes inside him ignited, shining with intense brilliance like sacred texts being forged within.

A terrifying aura of a divine beast radiated from his being, spanning a hundred thousand kilometers wide.

The ground beneath compressed, splitting into horrifying cracks.

Overhead in the skies, vast spiritual qi converged, shaping into ancient soaring snakes gliding amid clouds and fog.

Luckily, the Exquisite Tower enclosed him; else, these celestial signs would draw attention from fellow cultivators, inviting needless complications.

"Breakthrough achieved at last."

"So this is the mid-Tier Five stage of the Soaring Snake Technique?"

"Its strength truly defies comprehension."

Jiang Fan's eyes snapped open, his fists clenching as surging might flooded his veins, his bloodline vigor exceptionally fierce.

As though a single droplet of his blood could incinerate a thousand miles, searing away hordes of spectral entities.

His flesh, skeleton, viscera—every part brimmed with compact soaring snake runes, bloodline energy flowing ceaselessly, emanating a primal, savage presence.

Simultaneously, the vital essence in his body swelled dramatically.

Indicating his lifespan had extended impressively.

With this in mind, Jiang Fan's thoughts stirred, summoning his virtual interface.

[Realm: Third-Layer Divinity Transformation (88%)]

[Profession: Tier Five Middle Grade Talisman Master (10%)]

Without a doubt, every attribute had soared compared to earlier.

To begin with, his lifespan now hit two hundred thousand years, an addition of fifty thousand from before.

One must realize that for average cultivators, even crossing a major realm seldom granted fifty thousand extra years, yet here he was, merely advancing a minor stage in Tier Five, and gaining that much. Truly astonishing.

Should this become known, myriad cultivators would seethe with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"Indeed, the authentic True Spirit Technique known as Soaring Snake Technique outshines common methods by far."

Jiang Fan brimmed with contentment.

Though still in his youth, who ever balked at a longer life?

Regrettably, progressing in the Soaring Snake Technique demanded immense difficulty, devouring vast spiritual resources.

Even backed by infinite destiny, breakthroughs weren't effortless whims.

That said, his pace already stunned, and he couldn't demand perfection beyond that.

"Cultivation advancement sits at 88%. The Fourth-Layer Divinity Transformation feels within reach soon."

Jiang Fan arched his brows.

Evidently, the Soaring Snake Technique's leap had propelled the Mixed Element Talisman Scripture forward too.

One could say these dual arts supported one another seamlessly.

A breakthrough in one could propel the other to follow suit.

Likely, after several more months of effort, he'd ascend to Fourth-Layer Divinity Transformation.

"Looks like this session drained a hefty chunk of luck points for practice."

"Over ten million at minimum."

"Even endless luck can't sustain such rapid spending."

Jiang Fan sighed with mild exasperation.

He'd assumed over a hundred million luck points would fuel extended sessions.

But at this rate of depletion, they'd vanish swiftly.

After all, mastering the Soaring Snake Technique or elevating Life Talisman proficiency both hungered for vast luck points.

Still, worry didn't grip him tightly.

For realms like Spirit Ruins or Void brimmed with crises aplenty.

Particularly amid the looming Apocalypse, disasters proliferated.

This very chaos offered his prime chance to ascend.

"Hmm?!"

Abruptly, Jiang Fan sensed a massive disturbance from beyond, a world-shaking quake rippling across millions of kilometers.

Even the peak where he resided trembled, hinting at some colossal event unfolding outside.
