Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 986 - 480: Heaven-Time Talisman, the Spirit Talisman Containing the Power of Time

Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
Shi Ping’an contemplates the unification of human villages in the Cyan Stone Mountain Range under Green Willow Village, enabled by the Heaven-Reaching Bridge Talisman for rapid escapes and mutual defense against demons, while dissenting factions are decisively suppressed. His master's covert role as founder of the Mixed Yuan Alliance, through the Cause and Effect Communication Talisman and Ten Thousand Treasures Token, secures vital food supplies and cultivation resources, alleviating shortages from demon-corroded soil that limits farming and population growth. The unearthing of massive underground Tai Xuan Iron ore veins yields immense wealth via sales to the Great Xuan Dynasty, yet the village's sparse manpower and the imperative to conceal their presence from formidable demons in the Demon Realm constrain expansion and heighten survival tensions.

At the same time, within the Ice Prison of Mixed Yuan Valley.

Deep inside the world of the Exquisite Tower.

Boom~~

Jiang Fan remained seated cross-legged upon the earth, operating the Mixed Element Talisman Scripture. With his form at the core, the nearby spiritual Qi surged into his frame, getting swallowed and refined, turning into his personal essence, and evolving into primordial magical power.

Following a full year of intense training, his advancement proved astonishing, propelling him to the peak of the Sixth Layer in Divinity Transformation.

Evidently, venturing into the Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins had delivered tremendous gains for him.

It had also boosted his development at an incredible pace.

Only a single step remained before he could step into the Divinity Transformation Seventh Layer.

To typical Divinity Transformation experts, such a hurdle would indeed pose a major challenge. After all, surpassing it would elevate them to the late stage of Divinity Transformation, where their might would surge dramatically.

Yet for Jiang Fan, this barrier hardly counted as one.

Provided his cultivation base was ready, breaking through would happen with ease.

His groundwork and reserves were simply too profound at this point, outstripping what any average Divinity Transformation practitioner could claim.

Moreover, his physical body had already climbed to the late phase of Tier Five, boasting Qi and blood so robust it defied belief.

"It’s time."

Jiang Fan directed the primordial magical power coursing through his veins, guiding it through cycle upon cycle, until it completed a grand total of one hundred and eight loops. The primordial magical power within reached its utmost peak, racing along his meridians akin to a mighty torrent.

Dong!

Guided by his will, the enormous primordial magical power rushed toward the barrier of the Divinity Transformation Seventh Layer. A mere light touch was enough to shatter it completely, resembling a torrent breaching an embankment.

Divinity Transformation Seventh Layer!

Without question, after twelve months of relentless effort in cultivation, he had at last ascended from the Sixth Layer of Divinity Transformation to the Seventh Layer realm.

He felt a massive surge in both his primordial magical power and his divine sense.

"Is this the divine sense of the Divinity Transformation Seventh Layer?"

"Compared to before, it’s indeed much stronger."

A spark of thrill flashed in Jiang Fan’s gaze as he detected the further evolution in his divine sense.

While the mid-stage of Divinity Transformation involves shaping divine sense into soul threads, the late stage pushes it onward, granting divine sense the prowess to seize souls.

This power only awakens following the divine sense’s additional transformation.

At this level, experts in the late stage of Divinity Transformation can project thousands of threads into the forms of others, quelling their minds and thus seizing command of their bodies.

In truth, just one notion from a late-stage Divinity Transformation cultivator can freeze lesser experts in place, squeezing their souls to the farthest corners of their awareness, stripping them of bodily control.

However, for those in the late stage of Divinity Transformation, dispatching a weaker cultivator demands no such elaborate steps.

Probably, a simple snap of the fingers would wipe out hordes of lesser cultivators, all without breaking a sweat.

Soul-seizing remains, in the end, just a skill born from the divine sense’s evolution.

The real key lies in the divine sense’s capacity to sense the void.

Through ongoing evolution of the divine sense, delving into ever-greater voids, a cultivator gains the opportunity to shatter into Refining Void.

"Cultivation in Divinity Transformation basically means honing magical power and refining divine sense."

"Progress in both aspects alone paves the way to Divinity Transformation Perfection, hitting the threshold for Refining Void."

"Should either falter, obstacles form, halting cultivation progress."

"That’s the reason so many Divinity Transformation cultivators see their pace crawl to a halt."

"They might linger for decades or even centuries without crossing that line."

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

He grasped even clearer the harsh trials of progressing through the Divinity Transformation stage.

In the resource-poor Void Realm, only a handful manage to hit the late stage of Divinity Transformation. The bulk of veteran Divinity Transformation cultivators stick to the early phase.

Without a doubt, with his present level of power, heading back to the Void Realm would let him dominate freely, overpowering droves of Divinity Transformation foes.

Regrettably, his true adversaries aren’t the human or Demon Race Divinity Transformation cultivators, but the shadowy architects from ancient times who ravaged the Void Realm. These foes wield depths of strength beyond measure.

Even reaching the late stage of Divinity Transformation likely wouldn’t arm him to confront such titans.

"The power I hold now is still woefully inadequate."

"A Seventh Layer Divinity Transformation amounts to little more than an insect in the Spirit Ruins Realm."

"To gain true protection in this realm, one needs at minimum to attain Refining Void."

Jiang Fan drew in a steadying breath.

His early elation swiftly faded, settling him back into calm detachment.

He turned his thoughts to crafting his latest Life Talisman.

Each new Life Talisman he forges serves as a potent hidden ace, brimming with extraordinary might.

That said, he had already mapped out his upcoming Life Talisman.

It would be the Heaven-Time Talisman.

This talisman draws from the immortal treasure known as the Heaven-Time Map.

An mighty immortal artifact infused with the Time Law, the Heaven-Time Map, when activated, warps time across a region—be it decelerating it, hastening it, freezing it, or other effects.

This immortal artifact holds legendary status in the Immortal Realm, striking terror into the hearts of innumerable immortals.

Naturally, beyond combat uses, it aids in growing spirit herbs, enhancing cultivation, and beyond, unveiling boundless secrets.
