Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1217 - 859: The Power of the Heaven-Fixing Pearl Talisman, Imprisoning Space-Time (Part 2)

"Let’s test the power of this spirit talisman in the Ice Prison."

Jiang Fan touched his chin. After all, only the Ice Prison was relatively safe. No matter how destructive it was, neither the demons nor the Great Xuan Dynasty would notice anything.

He immediately opened the Gate of the Void and returned to the Ice Prison.

This place was conveniently close to Gouwu Mountain, where the Taotie was sealed.

Previously, he had also taken a task from the Immortal Prison Hall to reinforce the seal on Gouwu Mountain.

However, because his strength was insufficient, he had delayed it.

But now, he had finally advanced to the First-Layer Integration, with enough strength to complete this task.

"This fallen Taotie is indeed very dangerous."

Jiang Fan squinted his eyes. Standing in midair, his divine consciousness spread out, covering part of the Gouwu Mountain area.

He immediately sensed a terrifying ancient demon sealed deep within the massive mountain range.

The being exuded the aura of a Demon God, like a black hole, devouring everything.

However, this Demon God was bound by black chains, merging into its soul, sealing it completely within the mountain range, unable to move at all.

If not for this seal, the Taotie would have likely escaped long ago.

According to its abilities, it could have ravaged the entire Ice Prison world, causing countless casualties.

However, after a long time, cracks had appeared in the sealing chains.

If they were not repaired promptly, it would eventually break free.

"No wonder the Immortal Prison Hall issued a task, instructing the prison guards to bring a Prison Pearl to repair the seal here."

"If it weren’t sealed again in time, it would eventually escape."

"Still, this is an extremely dangerous task."

"Even within the seal, the Taotie is not something ordinary cultivators can oppose."

"It doesn’t need to do anything, just opening its mouth would devour countless lives."

"Even demons would become its food."

Jiang Fan clenched his fists.

He realized how dangerous the Prison Elder’s task for him truly was.

It was clearly intended to lead him to his death.

If not for the hint from Destiny, he would have likely fallen into the trap.

There had been prison guards before, but they were killed by different means by this Prison Elder.

"Fortunately, I’ve now advanced to Integration."

"Though this Taotie is indeed terrifying, it has already become a Fallen Demon."

"It essentially has little intelligence left, just some instincts."

"As long as I’m careful, the task should still be relatively easy to complete."

Jiang Fan took a deep breath.

Destiny didn’t give him any warnings, which indicated that the threat wasn’t great.

Boom~~

At this moment, the distant void suddenly cracked open, revealing a void rift.

From this rift, a group of demons fell.

There were a total of one hundred demons, with one at the Early Stage of Integration and the rest at the Void Refining Level.

He didn’t expect to encounter demons entering the Ice Prison from outside at this time.

However, Jiang Fan also knew that this occurrence was frequent.

The Great Xuan Dynasty controlled the entrance to the Ice Prison, and they often threw troublesome demons into the Ice Prison. These demons would randomly land in different parts of the Ice Prison.

But after learning about the Immortal Prison Hall, he realized these demons were not randomly dropped.

They would be sent by the Immortal Prison Hall to different parts of the Ice Prison for processing.

Some of these demons would be sent to Gouwu Mountain to be devoured by the Taotie.

In a way, the fallen Taotie was the best tool for dealing with demons.

"No, I can’t let them disturb the sleeping Taotie."

A glint of coldness flashed in Jiang Fan’s eyes.

Without hesitation, he activated his Lifebound Talisman — the Celestial Fixation Pearl Talisman.

This Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman rose from the depths of his Primordial Spirit, the orb radiating with an ancient and mysterious halo, its talisman markings flowing like starry river veins, embodying the power of space-time between heaven and earth.

The talisman orb hung in the air, a clear, resonant hum breaking through the demons’ roars.

In an instant, the golden light of the inscribed "Fixation" character shone like a small sun, falling amidst the demons.

Those powerful demons plummeting from the sky, especially the one at the Integration Realm, sensed Jiang Fan’s presence and surged with murderous intent, intending to kill Jiang Fan.

But in that moment, their movements froze abruptly — the gruesome appearance of their blue-faced, tusked visages halted mid-roar, their raised claws suspended several miles from Jiang Fan, the demon’s dark aura frozen like ink, unable to spread another inch.

It was as if the space-time within a ten-kilometer radius had solidified entirely at that moment.

The world was in a state of stasis.

Howling gales paused at his ears, swirling sand and stones floated in the sky, even the falling dry leaves were frozen mid-air, their veins clearly visible.

The once-flowing sea of clouds solidified into peaks of white jade, the twilight no longer changing, the last light of the setting sun stopping at the mountain top, showing no sign of sinking. The demon’s demonic qi surged to the extreme, yet was firmly imprisoned by the power of the Celestial Fixation Pearl Talisman, unable even to disperse a wisp of black smoke.

"It feels as if the power of the space-time laws between heaven and earth has been invoked."

"By utilizing the power of space-time, these demons were immobilized."

"Though the immobilization doesn’t last long, just about the time of three breaths."

"But to deal with these demons, that’s more than enough."

At this moment, Jiang Fan immediately sensed the incredible change in his Lifebound Talisman’s power.

Previously, when he activated the Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman, he could only harness the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power.

However, now that he had advanced to the First-Layer Integration, when invoking these Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans, he could even begin to draw upon the power of Heaven and Earth Laws, although his understanding of them was shallow, almost nonexistent.

Yet this did not hinder his ability to resonate with various Heaven and Earth Laws.

All of this originated from the power of his lifebound talisman.

In a way, these lifebound talismans were akin to his Bloodline Divine Techniques.

Such Bloodline Divine Techniques do not require understanding, they operate instinctively, and the more proficiently they are used, the deeper the comprehension of Heaven and Earth Laws.

This is exactly why the potential of the True Spirits is so immense.

Ordinary human cultivators need continuous enlightenment of the natural Dao rhythm.

But True Spirits do not; they merely excavate their bloodline power to naturally gain acceptance from the Law Origin, comprehending a myriad of Heaven and Earth Laws.

Now, with the power of his lifebound talisman, Jiang Fan could achieve a similar effect.

"These demons shall enter the Exquisite Tower as fertilizer."

With a thought, Jiang Fan wielded the power of the Exquisite Tower, immediately swallowing the hundred demons entirely.

Even the demon at the Early Stage of Integration was no exception.

They had no means to resist, effortlessly suppressed by the Exquisite Tower.

Soon enough, these demons would be fully refined by the Exquisite Tower, becoming fertilizer within.

"Truly worthy of an Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman, the power unleashed is incomparable to ordinary talismans."

"Especially the Celestial Fixation Pearl Talisman, which engages the force of space-time laws between heaven and earth."

"Even stirring just a fragment of the space-time power is enough to immobilize numerous beings."

"Even demons at the Integration Realm could be instantly frozen, unable to move."

Jiang Fan clenched his fists, feeling very satisfied.

Currently, his Celestial Fixation Pearl Talisman was still only at the Entry Level, yet it could already manifest such power. If his proficiency further increased, the power of this Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman would definitely be even stronger.

Not comparable at all to ordinary Mortal Spirit Talismans.

And it’s not just the Celestial Fixation Pearl Talisman; the other Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talismans are the same.

"No wonder before, when my lifebound talisman skill level reached the Skilled level, it was difficult to further enhance it."

"To achieve Mastery Level, stirring the power of Heaven and Earth Laws is required."

"If I hadn’t advanced to the Integration Realm, the skill level of the Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talismans wouldn’t have improved further."

Jiang Fan felt that he was gaining an increasingly profound understanding of the mysteries of his lifebound talisman.

Indeed, through actual combat, he could best ascertain the deficiencies of his own abilities.
