Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 933 - 468: Ten Thousand Souls Banner, a Treasure from the Immortal Realm
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
"What's going on?"
A stir rose in Jiang Fan's heart, as his consciousness extended outwards.
Boom~~
Suddenly, a vast expanse covering hundreds of thousands of kilometers unfolded within his sea of consciousness. This occurred because his senses had advanced to the Void Refinement stage, blending seamlessly into the void.
By harnessing the force of void ripples, he managed to widen the area his consciousness could scan.
At once, he spotted innumerable Exotic Beasts racing away across the endless frozen tundra, clearly pursued by a formidable foe and scattering in every direction.
Up in the heavens, two Void Refining Cultivators had materialized, locked in a tense standoff.
One was dressed in a crimson Daoist robe decorated with skulls dangling from his belt, shrouded in swirling bloody aura, emitting a dreadful blood odor that consumed everything in reach after massacring endless lives.
The other sported a dark Daoist robe, encircled by hordes of resentful spirits, as though legions of demons were shrieking, his gaze brimming with utter disdain for all existence.
Fearsome Domain Power exploded from their figures, with every impact sparking nightmarish void disturbances, unleashing cataclysmic force that sent the nearby land shaking like a colossal quake.
It was obvious that the previous tremor had come from their fierce confrontation.
"So it's a clash between Void Refining Cultivators, no surprise it's this horrifying."
Jiang Fan knitted his brows.
With the wealth of inheritances he had absorbed, he knew full well the awesome might of Void Refining Cultivators.
One should realize that upon reaching Void Refinement, a cultivator can sense the void and even wield void energy.
This isn't the same as grasping Space Law; it's just about controlling void energy by itself.
It's like knowing how to operate a vehicle without understanding vehicle construction.
These remain entirely separate matters.
Still, the abilities wielded by Void Refining Cultivators far surpass those of Divinity Transformation Cultivators, as their forms merge with Void Power, evolving the Divinity Transformation Law Domain into the Void Refinement Domain.
Shifting from Law Domain to Domain Power marks a profound leap in capability.
Even a lone Void Refining Cultivator, drawing only on Domain Power, could overwhelm hordes of Divinity Transformation Cultivators.
The gap separating the two is staggeringly wide.
That's precisely why, in the Spirit Ruins Realm, only Void Refining Cultivators count as genuine powerhouses.
Divinity Transformation Cultivators are just newcomers still finding their footing.
Cultivators beneath Divinity Transformation? They're little more than novices, barely registering on the scale.
"The devastation from Void Refining Cultivators is already alarming, but Integration Cultivators take it to another level."
Jiang Fan also thought back to the Human Race Integration Cultivator he had faced before in the Cyan Stone Demon Cave.
He had previously used his consciousness to observe battles among Integration Cultivators.
The strikes of Integration Cultivators carried force that could shatter the skies and crumble the earth.
While Void Refining Cultivators merely handle void energy in basic ways, Integration Cultivators, with their spirit and flesh united, command Void Power at an elevated tier.
Such entities can perform instantaneous bodily teleportation.
With a mere intention, they shift thousands of miles in a blink.
Enemies find it immensely difficult to slay an Integration Cultivator, except by preparing traps in advance to seal off their teleportation routes.
Back in the Cyan Stone Demon Cave, without the Immortal Artifact's aid, he wouldn't have stood a chance against that Combined Demon, much less defeated it.
"The three stages of Divinity Transformation, Void Refinement, and Integration basically involve the ongoing refinement of Primordial Spirit Power."
"At its core, it's the steady evolution of the Primordial Spirit."
"Divinity Transformation Cultivators' Primordial Spirits remain feeble, limited to directing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power to that degree."
"Yet once entering the Void Refinement Realm, the Primordial Spirit Power surges dramatically, enabling control over Void Power."
"And upon attaining Integration, the Primordial Spirit Power turns utterly fearsome, capable of ripping open the void for physical teleportation."
"Mahayana Cultivators, though, enter a whole new domain."
Jiang Fan rubbed his chin.
He thoughtfully reviewed certain cultivation texts from the Primordial Talisman Sect, sensing a deeper grasp of the road ahead in his path.
True progress in cultivation demands understanding its fundamentals, allowing steady and swift advancement.
Without that, bottlenecks arise easily, leaving one stuck in a Realm with no way forward.
Boom~~
Right then, a transmission plunged straight into the core of his consciousness sea.
"When immortals battle, mortals pay the price—your fortune is truly rotten, stumbling upon two Void Refining Demon Cultivators known as Blood Beast Daoist and Soul Devourer.
That earlier beast tide ravaging this region, which brought Exotic Beasts down on countless villages, was their handiwork. Needing vast quantities of flesh and souls, they deliberately stirred up the beast tide, causing heaps of human casualties.
The pair had been working together flawlessly until moments ago, when they discovered a hoard of Immortal Stones in a valley. Greed sparked between them, prompting attempts to eliminate one another and igniting this massive conflict.
Your misfortune places the cave you're hiding in right within the combat zone of these two Void Refining Demon Cultivators. Soon, your location will feel the brunt of their ruinous forces."
"Fate offers you a warning."
"Fate Warning One: Flee—these two Void Refining Demon Cultivators are overwhelmingly strong. As a Third-Layer Divinity Transformation cultivator, you stand no chance against them. Only escape ensures you evade their chase.
The proverb says, 'While the green hills endure, firewood will never be scarce'—at times, fleeing proves a wise choice. Or maybe it's not fleeing at all, but a tactical withdrawal."
"Fate Warning Two: Flight is certainly a solid path, yet occasionally it's not the sole route. Though the two Void Refining Demon Cultivators boast immense power, in general, you truly couldn't oppose them.
