Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 998 - 486: Heaven-Transforming Armor Talisman, Absolute Defense

"Now, the moment has come to inscribe a fresh Life Talisman."

Jiang Fan's gaze shimmered with intent.

Without question, he'd settled on his upcoming Life Talisman: the Heaven-Transforming Armor Talisman among the Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talismans.

This draws its essence from the divine treasure known as the Heaven-Transforming Armor, a supreme defensive celestial artifact.

Upon activation, the spectral form of the armor merges seamlessly with the user's frame, encasing arms, knee pads, shoulder guards, chest plates, helmet, and more, sealing every possible vulnerability.

The Heaven-Transforming Armor features an innate auto-defense mechanism. Should a foe's power pierce the shielding aura and endanger the physical form, it manifests instantly to solidify around the body, repelling strikes and offering unyielding safeguard to its bearer.

Grasping this Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman would dramatically bolster his protective strength.

Strikes from typical cultivators would fail to touch him; it forms an impenetrable barrier against all threats.

Boom~

With these thoughts racing through his mind, Jiang Fan wasted no time, expending a hefty sum of Luck Points to dive into the understanding of this Immortal Realm Talisman.

In a flash, immense streams of knowledge about the Heaven-Transforming Armor Talisman flooded the core of his mind's sea.

He slipped into profound enlightenment, unraveling every secret hidden within this talisman.

...

Time flew by, and soon a full month elapsed.

Without much trouble, Jiang Fan had fully grasped the Heaven-Transforming Armor Talisman, etching it onto his Primordial Spirit and claiming it as one of his Life Talismans.

"It's done."

Jiang Fan felt the spectral outline of the Heaven-Transforming Armor Talisman take shape deep within his Primordial Spirit. Fully fused now, it let him summon this Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman effortlessly with just a mental command.

Boom~~

In an instant, Jiang Fan triggered the Heaven-Transforming Armor Talisman.

The talisman rapidly formed into a towering suit of golden armor, which then blended into Jiang Fan's form, making it seem as though he donned the legendary celestial artifact Heaven-Transforming Armor.

This armor brimmed with immense defensive might, forged from surging vital forces, its surface etched with dense, intricate formation runes that radiated a profound, mysterious presence.

Without a doubt, donning the Heaven-Transforming Armor ensured that assaults from any direction by enemies would be halted in their tracks, banishing all fears of surprise assaults.

Even direct, brutal clashes against the Heaven-Transforming Armor would be utterly neutralized.

It felt like retreating into an enormous turtle's shell for cover.

With this Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman under his command, Jiang Fan experienced a surge of profound safety.

After all, no matter how many offensive arts a cultivator wielded, weak defenses meant a lone enemy ambush could spell doom.

Many cultivators boasted strong attacks yet frail protections, rendering defensive spirit treasures scarce and costly, beyond the reach of average practitioners.

Boom~~

These ideas prompting him, Jiang Fan promptly summoned his Virtual Panel.

[Realm: Eighth-Layer Divinity Transformation (28%)]

[Profession: Tier Five High-grade Talisman Master (66%)]

It was clear that his cultivation had surged forward swiftly over this past month.

Progress in his realm now stood at 28%.

Maintaining this pace, he'd likely hit the Ninth-Layer Divinity Transformation within a single year.

Such rapid advancement could only be called meteoric.

"Perhaps I should push harder and break straight through to the Ninth-Layer Divinity Transformation right here."

Jiang Fan stroked his chin thoughtfully.

The cultivation conditions in this place struck him as outstanding, with no reason to seek out another spot for training.

Remaining here promised swift strides toward Divinity Transformation Perfection.

At that point, Refining Void would loom just ahead.

Everyone knew the chasm between Divinity Transformation and Refining Void was vast beyond measure.

In the Spirit Ruins Realm, reaching at least the Void Refining stage was essential for any real ability to protect oneself.

A simple Divinity Transformation Cultivator remained far too fragile, wholly inadequate.

Boom~~

Right then, a transmission abruptly pierced into the depths of his sea of consciousness.

"Fortune twists in unpredictable ways; though you desire to stay secluded in the Quiet Chamber for cultivation, it's not to be, as the Prison Elder tires of your extended isolation."

Should you persist in your training, the Prison Elder will surely wield his power to drag you forcibly to Gouwu Mountain, offering no avenue for evasion."

"Fortune offers you guidance."

"Fortune Guidance One: As a Ninth Grade Prison Guard, access to the Basic Cultivation Quiet Chamber is among your perks, yet the duration isn't boundless. Surpassing the allotted time grants the Prison Elder, in his role as Artifact Spirit, the right to eject you—and he might even shuttle you straight to Gouwu Mountain.
