Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 939 - 471: Divine Sense Tendrils, Sealing Heaven and Earth
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
"Impossible! Master can actually subdue those evil spirits? That's way too astonishing."
Upon witnessing this spectacle, the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron stood completely stupefied, struggling to accept the reality.
It was fully aware of the sheer horror embodied by the evil spirits lurking within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
Every single one brimmed with an overwhelming surge of malice and bitterness.
Subduing such evil spirits was essentially a futile endeavor.
Yet its master had casually quelled every evil spirit housed in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
Hardly anyone would accept such an account if shared.
"This is genuinely astonishing."
"Back in the Ancient Era, certain experts from the Primordial Talisman Sect had command over the Heaven-Transforming Staff Talisman."
"However, their feats were limited to soothing mere mortals and cultivators at best."
"Subduing evil spirits remained utterly out of reach."
The Primordial Talisman Pen found itself equally shocked. Though it believed itself well-versed in the Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talismans, the Heaven-Transforming Staff Talisman now seemed profoundly alien.
The might of this Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman proved staggeringly formidable.
Had such a feat been feasible, the ancient cultivators of the Primordial Talisman Sect would have employed this talisman ages ago to vanquish the Celestial Demons sequentially.
Regrettably, even in the Ancient Era, they lacked the ability.
"Mere triviality."
A faint smile graced Jiang Fan's lips as he grasped the unfolding events without effort.
An standard Heaven-Transforming Staff Talisman alone couldn't yield this result, yet he had harnessed the essence of Destiny as well.
Such essence possessed an enigmatic depth, impossible to fathom, woven intricately with the threads of destiny itself.
Through the aid of this arcane force, the Heaven-Transforming Staff Talisman's potency soared to unimaginable heights, seamlessly altering the destinies of these evil spirits, subduing them, and binding them to his will.
Only he held the unique capacity for this feat.
Should any other cultivator seek to invoke the Heaven-Transforming Staff Talisman, failure would be their lot.
Boom~~
In that instant, a tremor stirred within Jiang Fan's core, drawing his consciousness swiftly into the Human Emperor Banner.
Without delay, he detected an expansive realm buried deep inside the Human Emperor Banner.
Countless evil spirits were precisely confined within this realm.
Leading them stood a Refining Void level evil spirit as the central essence, flanked by three thousand Divinity Transformation level evil spirits, more than ten thousand Nascent Soul level ones, and countless others.
The unified essence of these myriad evil spirits constituted the Human Emperor Banner.
Upon activation, the Human Emperor Banner could summon the collective soul strength of its evil spirits to assail foes.
Should the enemy's soul barriers prove insufficient, annihilation could strike in a flash.
"Just a lone Refining Void level evil spirit?"
Jiang Fan rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
Evidently, the Soul Devourer Old Demon hadn't shunned acquiring additional Refining Void level evil spirits; rather, even if captured and contained by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, mastery over them eluded him.
One errant step could invite a devastating backlash from the evil spirits.
Thus, amassing greater numbers of evil spirits under control isn't inherently superior; true wisdom lies in recognizing personal boundaries.
Overstepping those boundaries invites nothing but calamity.
Thankfully, Jiang Fan stood apart. He had fully integrated the Human Emperor Banner and subdued its evil spirits completely.
Hence, regardless of their numbers, the evil spirits posed no threat, having been wholly pacified.
Consequently, rebellion against their master was inconceivable.
"I must seek chances to absorb additional souls."
"That way, the Human Emperor Banner's strength will keep escalating."
This wondrous artifact delighted Jiang Fan immensely; its potential for endless evolution made it exceptional.
With sufficient time, it was destined to ascend to the rank of an Immortal Artifact, surpassing even greater heights.
"Now, onto shattering into the Fourth-Layer Divinity Transformation."
Jiang Fan withdrew the Human Emperor Banner at this juncture. Freshly refined, the treasure required further gestation to unleash its full might.
Whoosh!
With a sweeping motion of his hand, he extracted two hundred Immortal Stones from his storage, arranging them encircling his form.
At once, the Immortal Stones radiated thick Immortal Qi.
The ambient energy density surged wildly, escalating visibly before the eyes.
Boom~~
Settling into a cross-legged stance upon the earth, Jiang Fan circulated the Mixed Element Talisman Scripture, his form morphing into a voracious void that inhaled Immortal Qi from every angle.
Threads of Immortal Qi surged into him rapidly, ravenously claimed by his being.
His internal magical power and soul force surged upward in explosive fashion.
"Ah, this must be the essence of Immortal Qi?"
"It harbors the Qi of Creation within."
"Little surprise Immortal Stones command such value; they're outright gems."
Deeply impressed within, Jiang Fan promptly recognized Immortal Qi's supreme worth, far eclipsing Spiritual Qi by leagues.
All because it infused the Qi of Creation.
Upon assimilation into the frame, it triggered instant Marrow Cleansing and Meridian Forging effects.
Prolonged immersion in Immortal Qi-rich surroundings not only prolonged vitality but enhanced innate talents as well.
Undoubtedly, Immortal Realm cultivators' aptitudes outshone those in the Mortal World by a wide margin.
Such desire among elite cultivators for Immortal Stones came as no shock.
Their boon to cultivation was profoundly vast.
In mere moments, his training pace had accelerated over ten times.
Should more Immortal Stones come his way, his progress could leap even higher.
...
Time flew by swiftly, and a full month elapsed.
Jiang Fan secluded himself within the Exquisite Tower's inner chamber, cultivating with unyielding focus.
Bolstered by Immortal Stones, his advancement blazed forward, reaching the pinnacle of Third-Layer Divinity Transformation, mere inches from piercing the Fourth-Layer Divinity Transformation.
