Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 997 - 485: Eighth-Layer Divinity Transformation, Ninth Grade Prison Guard Benefits (2)

Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
Jiang Fan, newly appointed as a Ninth Grade Prison Guard, requested time to cultivate before undertaking tasks, prompting the wary Prison Elder to escort him to a Basic Cultivation Quiet Chamber in the vast Immortal Prison Hall. The chamber, rich with spiritual qi equivalent to an Eighth Grade Spirit Vein, offered seclusion protected by unbreakable restrictions, a perk exclusive to guards of his rank. As Jiang Fan entered and began absorbing the pure energy, his cultivation surged toward the Eighth-Layer Divinity Transformation, while the Prison Elder departed with cold intentions to seize full control of the hall. The Universal Transformation Immortal Cauldron marveled at the qi density, lamenting the Void Realm's decline from its ancient glory.

"A deep sigh escaped from the Demon-Vibrating Bell."

"In its view, the Void Realm had endured severe devastation."

"Without that, the cultivation society of the Void Realm would remain prosperous, instead of steadily waning like it does today."

"It's even on the brink of slow annihilation."

"Still, practicing cultivation in this spot brings you huge advantages."

"Back in the Ancient Era, such training areas were reserved solely for elders."

"After all, for those at Divinity Transformation, the Spiritual Qi density at Tier Eight Spirit Vein is way too intense."

The Primordial Talisman Pen felt rather pleased.

Even with the Spiritual Qi density being so vast, on par with the eighth tier, Divinity Transformation cultivators could only absorb a set amount each day—much like how regular folks manage just three or four bowls of rice in a sitting.

"Maybe those with heartier appetites could down seven or eight bowls, but that's the absolute max."

"Cultivators face the exact same constraint."

"Hmm, what's the real story behind the Immortal Prison Hall?"

"Forces from the Immortal Realm are truly beyond comprehension."

"And yet, even powers like that appear to have been wiped out. What sort of foe did they face?"

The Exquisite Tower burned with curiosity over this.

Just glimpsing a fragment of the Immortal Prison Hall's might revealed it as a colossal power.

It far surpassed countless forces in the mortal realm.

Without doubt, in the Immortal Realm itself, it ranked among the mighty.

Even so, this organization got crushed by some adversary, highlighting the enemy's terrifying strength.

Should that foe set its sights on his master, resistance might prove impossible.

"That won't be an issue whatsoever."

"Enemies from the Immortal Realm might show up, but remember, we're in the Mortal World."

"Descending to the Mortal World isn't a simple task for Immortals."

"They'll face suppression from the mortal laws too."

"No reason to fear any real threats here."

The Human Emperor Sword remarked casually.

It knew far more about Jiang Fan's fortune; this Child of Destiny's luck was ridiculously strong, snagging amazing chances even outside the Void Realm.

As a Child of Destiny tied to a realm, sticking in the Void Realm would mean Heavenly Dao's constant shield, showering him with endless fortunes.

But venturing beyond the Void Realm into other worlds changed everything.

Stepping into foreign territory usually meant fewer such breaks coming your way.

Yet this young man stood apart.

Even in the Spirit Ruins Realm, opportunities kept pouring in for him—it was downright unbelievable.

"Heh, it's more complicated than that. Immortals can indeed come down to the Mortal World, though it costs them dearly."

"You're spot on; mortal laws pack a punch, but if Immortals cough up enough, they can still make the drop. In the past, Immortal descents in the Void Realm weren't rare occurrences."

"That's the truth. Each Immortal arrival shakes up the Mortal World in ways no one can predict. It could be a boon, spreading wisdom and immortal legacies to the world, or a curse, unleashing ruin at the Immortal's fancy."

"Precisely, some of the Void Realm's greatest sects arose thanks to Immortals—like the Taixu Sect and Primordial Talisman Sect, all with deep Immortal ties."

"But this is the Immortal Prison, a domain cut off from causal links; even Immortals wouldn't slip in without a fight, or it'd be a true cage for them."

"In the end, the master taking on the role of prison guard in the Immortal Prison brings more gains than risks; he'll at least score plenty of resources from the Immortal Prison Hall, accelerating his cultivation and easing the path to Refining Void."

The magical treasures chatted animatedly among themselves.

Without question, these artifacts held strong interest in the Immortal Prison Hall.

Coming from the Immortal Realm, it was a secretive force unseen even during the Ancient Era.

They never imagined Jiang Fan could link up with such an entity—it stretched the bounds of belief.

Boom~~

Right then, a stream of data flooded straight into the core of his mind sea: "You've stepped into the enigmatic domain—the Immortal Prison Hall, dodged the Prison Elder's lethal aura, triumphed over a trial, and earned thirty million Luck Points."

Thirty million Luck Points?!

As this message sank in, Jiang Fan arched a brow; entering the Quiet Chamber had evidently cleared the Prison Elder's killing intent, confirming his safety at last.

Not fully secure yet, merely free from immediate grave perils.

The Prison Elder's power ran deep and inscrutable, shrouded in enigma.

Though bound by rules from striking directly, one couldn't rule out other tricks up his sleeve.

Still, surviving this ordeal and pocketing thirty million Luck Points felt like a solid win.

Even without extra boons.

In truth, securing the Immortal Prison Order marked his greatest prize this round.

It opened the door to ruling over the whole Immortal Prison—a peerless prospect.

But seizing it properly was key to victory; failure meant doom.

Likely, numerous prison guards had fallen victim to this Prison Elder's deceptions.

"Never mind, focus on cultivation now."

"Push forward to the Eighth-Layer Divinity Transformation first."

Jiang Fan drew in a steady breath.

With that, he activated the Mixed Element Talisman Scripture.

Boom~~

A colossal vortex of Spiritual Energy erupted around his form in an instant.

Strands of Spiritual Qi surged into him, converting swiftly into Primordial Magical Power.

"This cultivation speed is insanely effective."

Jiang Fan marveled greatly, sensing that training in this Quiet Chamber felt like attaining ultimate insight.

At this rate, reaching peak Seventh-Layer Divinity Transformation wouldn't take much time.

Suddenly, he plunged deep into cultivation, his internal Primordial Magical Power swelling visibly with each passing moment.

...

Time raced by, and half a year vanished in a flash.

Throughout, Jiang Fan remained holed up in the Immortal Prison Hall's Quiet Chamber.

Thanks to the prime cultivation conditions, his progress soared.

Over those six months, his Primordial Magical Power inside smoothly hit the peak of Seventh-Layer Divinity Transformation.

Only a single step from Eighth-Layer Divinity Transformation.

"Perfected it this swiftly, huh."

"Breakthrough time."

In that instant, Jiang Fan gradually parted his eyes, sensing the roaring Primordial Magical Power and robust divine sense within, a wave of contentment washing over him.

Under normal circumstances, even with Heavenly Dao's gifted Origin Energy, hitting peak Seventh-Layer Divinity Transformation would demand more than a year.

Yet the superb setup here changed that.

It crammed over a year's worth of work into half a year, ramping up efficiency tremendously.

Boom~~

Jiang Fan wasted no time on further thought, promptly running the Mixed Element Talisman Scripture as his core Primordial Magical Power churned vigorously.

It cycled through a full one hundred and eight loops.

His Magical Power and divine sense hit their zenith, surging like a torrent against the barrier with overwhelming might.

One fierce clash, and the barrier crumbled instantly, offering no defense.

Eighth-Layer Divinity Transformation!

Without fail, Jiang Fan had at last ascended to Eighth-Layer Divinity Transformation.

He felt the fresh rush in his Magical Power and divine sense.

To start, the soul tendrils grew from three thousand to four thousand—a full thousand more, no trivial gain.

At the same time, his divine sense power leaped ahead, rivaling a Refining Void Tier Eight cultivator.

Dong!

In a flash, Jiang Fan willed it so, and his divine sense expanded outward, forming tendrils that seamlessly wove into the void.

Faintly, he could grasp wisps of void energy.

His soul blended effortlessly into the void.

This skill would hugely support his climb to the Void Refinement Realm.

"So this is what Eighth-Layer Divinity Transformation feels like?"

"Back in the Void Realm, it'd probably take centuries to reach this stage."

Jiang Fan balled his fists, thrilled with his cultivation strides.

If word of this cultivation pace got out, countless Divinity Transformation cultivators would seethe with jealousy and bitterness.
