Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 987 - 480: Heaven-Time Talisman, a Spirit Talisman Containing the Power of Time (2)

Though the might of the Heaven-Time Talisman falls short of the Immortal Artifact known as the Heaven-Time Diagram, it still carries a portion of that formidable power.

Upon successful mastery, this talisman bestows the ability to subtly manipulate the passage of time.

For any cultivator in the mortal world, this amounts to a devastating, otherworldly assault.

In the distant ancient times, numerous ancestors from the Primordial Talisman Sect strove to grasp the essence of the Heaven-Time Talisman, yet every attempt ended in failure due to the sheer overwhelming complexity of this spirit talisman.

Essentially, it lies far beyond the grasp of typical cultivators.

Yet, bolstered by the Power of Fortune, he managed to unravel this profoundly challenging spirit talisman.

Should he succeed, it would undoubtedly emerge as one of his most potent secret weapons.

Boom~

With these thoughts racing through his mind, Jiang Fan wasted no time and promptly burned through a vast quantity of Luck Points, plunging straight into an epiphany where the profound secrets of the Heaven-Time Talisman flooded into his sea of consciousness.

In a hazy vision, he caught sight of a scroll painted with countless clocks, each rotation revealing the relentless march of time.

......

Time sped by swiftly, and in what felt like an instant, two months had elapsed.

Without question, the challenge of mastering the Heaven-Time Talisman proved immense; even with the heavy support of Luck Points, Jiang Fan required a complete two months to achieve it.

Regardless, he triumphed this time around, and concurrently, he forged the Heaven-Time Talisman into his personal lifebound talisman.

Deep within his primordial spirit, a pattern resembling a clock materialized, as if it could easily summon the ambient forces of time, brimming with boundless enigmas.

Boom~~

As this realization dawned, Jiang Fan's heart surged with intent, and he swiftly triggered the Heaven-Time Talisman residing in him.

The talisman blazed to life in an instant, morphing into the shape of a clock.

Right away, with the talisman at its core, the flow of time across a ten-meter span decelerated dramatically, establishing a time domain laced with horrifying potency.

In the confines of this time domain, solely he retained the freedom to move at normal speed.

Any creature stepping into this domain would face relentless suppression from its power.

"The drain on magical power is utterly enormous."

"This isn't a spirit talisman meant for Divinity Transformation cultivators to wield."

Within merely one breath's time, Jiang Fan sensed that nearly all his primordial magical power had been depleted.

Should he persist in sustaining it, his primordial magical power would deplete entirely.

This discovery filled him with profound astonishment—it was truly over the top.

One must remember that his reserves of magical power were extraordinarily dense, surpassing those of same-realm Divinity Transformation cultivators by dozens of times, and yet, even that proved insufficient against the Heaven-Time Talisman's voracious appetite.

This illustrates just how staggering the magical power demand for unleashing this talisman really is.

Moreover, the time domain's coverage remains quite limited, spanning only ten meters, which poses challenges for practical combat use.

After all, foes rarely permit you to close within ten meters.

Among cultivator clashes, long-distance strikes dominate far more often.

Despite these numerous shortcomings, they stem not from flaws in the Heaven-Time Talisman itself, but from Jiang Fan's own limitations.

His current cultivation level remains too low, allowing him to unleash only a fraction of the talisman's true potential.

Once he progresses to Void Refining or even Integration stage, the might he can draw from it will undoubtedly soar dramatically.

With this in mind, Jiang Fan felt a stir in his spirit and promptly summoned his virtual interface.

[Realm: Seventh-Layer Divinity Transformation (34%)]

[Profession: Tier Five High-grade Talisman Master (15%)]

Without a doubt, every aspect of his stats has leaped forward impressively from before.

It represents a true leap in quality.

"My cultivation has advanced considerably indeed."

"The pace of my growth hasn't diminished at all."

Jiang Fan examined his cultivation advancement; in merely two months, he had surged to 34%, with no slowdown after breaking into the Seventh-Layer Divinity Transformation—in fact, it accelerated even further.

He senses abundant origin energy lingering deep within his sea of consciousness.

Earlier, he had assimilated only part of it.

At the very least, until he reaches Divinity Transformation Perfection, he likely won't fully tap it out.

It could even propel his path all the way to the Void Refinement Realm.

Evidently, the bestowals from the Heavenly Dao persist unabated, steadily boosting his cultivation velocity.

Were he to depend solely on personal toil, attaining this height might demand centuries.

"This is the blistering cultivation rhythm of a Child of Fortune—utterly unmatched by regular cultivators."

Jiang Fan brimmed with contentment.

It's little surprise that even those with peak aptitude can't rival a Child of Fortune, since their serendipitous boons alone eclipse your lifetimes of diligence, rendering any comparison futile.

Should another wave of heavenly enlightenment strike, the advancement would skyrocket to even more jaw-dropping speeds.

Yet, such fortunes don't descend lightly.

They demand a world-shaking catastrophe, compelling the Heavenly Dao to intervene for survival, before these boons manifest.

After all, these divine gifts erode the world's foundational essence, so they can't simply materialize at will.

"At this cultivation rate, I figure it'll take just a few more years to hit Divinity Transformation Perfection."

"Once there, heading back to the Void Realm will let me tackle threats with ease."

"I pray no massive upheavals have rocked the Void Realm."

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

He yearned to rush back to the Void Realm right away, but the eerie curse from that realm still hunted him; returning prematurely could trap him in the adversaries' snare.

For caution's sake, he reckoned biding a few extra years before venturing back wouldn't hurt.

To a cultivator, a decade or so passes like a mere snap of the fingers, hardly noteworthy.

"Only this much Luck Points remaining?"

"Comprehending the Heaven-Time Talisman must have devoured a fortune indeed."

Jiang Fan arched a brow, recalling how he netted a billion Luck Points by quelling the anomaly in the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall—though he did spend tens of millions refining the hall itself.

Still, a hefty surplus lingered afterward.

Clearly, the feat of cultivating the Heaven-Time Talisman defied expectations in difficulty, as it harnesses the Time Law, far surpassing mundane talismans; it's a spirit talisman alien to the mortal plane.

"Talismans like this extend beyond mere fighting."

"They can aid cultivation too."

"Take deploying a Heaven-Time Talisman to hasten time in a specific zone, for example."

"That would hasten spirit medicine maturation, slashing the downtime dramatically."

"What's more, in a mortal kingdom, it could quicken an entire country's timeline, rapidly swelling its populace."

"It might even envelop a cultivator, decelerating their surrounding time, letting those on the brink of death leap forward—thousands of years might whirl by outside, but to them, it's just a fleeting moment."

Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes.

Myriad applications for the Heaven-Time Talisman sprang to his mind instantly.

Undeniably, this talisman infused with time's essence holds limitless marvels.

That said, at his Divinity Transformation stage, the Heaven-Time Talisman's duration and strength remain modest.

For him now, it feels like a somewhat useless tool.

Nevertheless, as his cultivation climbs, his command over the Heaven-Time Talisman will without doubt grow ever more formidable.

It's a spirit talisman that shines brightest in the late game.

During the early phases, its utility stays rather limited.
