Chapter 660 - 44: All Heaven Divine Slayer Sword Talisman 2

How many microscopic particles are there within a human body?

According to Fang Cheng’s memories from his previous life, every person has about thirty-six trillion cells.

And at this moment, the profound mystery of the "Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique" truly began to manifest.

As he continuously refined the Merit Talismanic Coins, every single particle of flesh and blood in his body began to strengthen and transform, forming profound, dark gold patterns and runes.

An unending, limitless improvement!

Thirty-six trillion particles formed an Array so vast it was difficult to even imagine.

This was merely the embryonic form of the Array, yet it already made Fang Cheng feel an astonishing increase in his internal power.

BOOM!

At a certain moment, the aura around Fang Cheng’s body suddenly surged, breaking through a barrier and reaching the level of the Sixth Transformation.

Meanwhile, only a little of the lake water below remained.

Fang Cheng sighed to himself, ’I thought I’d hit a bottleneck in my cultivation, but it turns out it was just because I didn’t have enough Merit Talismanic Coins...’

He silently estimated and reviewed his progress, realizing that the amount of Merit Talismanic Coins consumed to go from the Peak of Fifth Transformation to the Sixth Transformation was equivalent to a thousand years of his full-powered refinement.

For those Ninth Tribulation Cultivators who didn’t have the Circulation Qi Collection Technique and could only refine Merit Talismanic Coins normally, it would likely take tens of thousands of years.

Faced with such terrifying consumption, for most Tribulation Realm Cultivators, reaching the Fifth Transformation with this technique was their absolute limit.

Anything beyond the Sixth Transformation was merely a wild theoretical concept.

Extrapolating from this technique, reaching the Realm of Nine Transformations would perhaps mean refining Spirit Runes into all thirty-six trillion particles in his body, as if performing Artifact Refining, to ultimately form an Unparalleled Grand Array.

By then, the amount of Merit Talismanic Coins required would be unimaginable.

Relying on enslaving others or crafting Merit Talismanic Coins himself would no longer be realistic.

The only path to success would be to constantly search for and refine all sorts of Immortal Mansion Treasures and Celestial and Earthly Spiritual Objects.

In other words, after the Sixth Transformation, this technique was not fundamentally different from other Spirit Immortal-level Body Refining legacies in terms of its path of advancement.

As his thoughts churned, Fang Cheng simply refined all the remaining Golden Jellyfish Spiritual Liquid, thus concluding this session of cultivation.

Not long after, he summoned Venerable Jiayin into this void.

The Nun was shrouded in Buddha Light, her dignified face calm and compassionate, showing no trace of the charming and alluring demeanor she displayed during her frequent Dual Cultivation sessions with Fang Cheng.

The moment she saw Fang Cheng, she could tell his physical body had broken through once again, reaching a level comparable to a Spirit Immortal Realm Body Refining Great Power.

The sense of pressure from such a powerful physical body made her incarnation tremble instinctively.

’The bodies of the legendary True Spirit Giant Beasts are probably only on this level... What sort of immortal fortune has this man stumbled upon now?’

Venerable Jiayin mused silently.

’An ordinary Spirit Immortal-level Tier Six Demon Beast probably couldn’t withstand a few of his punches, and most Sixth-rank Magical Artifacts would have a hard time even injuring him...’

Venerable Jiayin silently assessed Fang Cheng’s strength. Amid her secret astonishment, there was also a hint of relief.

If his strength continued to grow at this rate, she feared that after his ascension, even her main body would have difficulty dealing with him.

’Best to take it slow and steady, and guide him gradually!’

Then, with a wave of his wide sleeve, Fang Cheng dispersed the clouds and mist, revealing a colossal, ten-thousand-foot-tall, jet-black broken sword.

Fang Cheng said, "Jia Yin, you are a Spirit Immortal from the Upper Realm and are far more knowledgeable than I. Do you recognize the inscriptions on this sword?"

Upon suddenly seeing the sword, Jia Yin’s pupils constricted slightly. Her normally placid face finally showed a flicker of emotion as she asked in astonishment, "Where did you find this sword?"

Fang Cheng replied, "I found it by chance in the Outer Void."

Jia Yin’s expression turned somewhat grave. "The inscriptions on the spine of this sword are the Chaos Talismans of the Ancient Divine Race," she said. "Each one is all-encompassing, containing the ultimate principles of the Great Dao. Legend says an ancestor of the Ancient Divine Race obtained them while exploring the depths of the Returning Ruins Vortex."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "There are only nine of these Chaos Talismans in total, but together they can produce over five hundred different combinations, which form the foundation of the five hundred Great Daos of the Ancient Divine Race."

This was the first time Fang Cheng had ever heard of the Ancient Divine Race, and he quickly asked Jia Yin for more information.

Jia Yin explained, "The Ancient Divine Race is a great enemy of our Human Race. The two sides have fought for several Quantitative Calamities and, to this day, remain the two largest peak races in the Chaos Void. As for the Celestial Demons in the Outer Void of the Lower Realm, they evolved from demon seeds cast down by a certain great power of the Ancient Divine Race. Since you cultivate a Demon Skill, you are surely no stranger to them."

Outer Celestial Demons are born with instincts for destruction, slaughter, chaos, rage, and consumption. Fang Cheng had always been curious about where the Celestial Demons originally came from, and only today did he learn that they were connected to another mysterious race.

Now, Outer Celestial Demons propagated everywhere in the void, their numbers so vast as to be unimaginable. Many a World Heaven had suffered a Celestial Demon invasion, its living creatures annihilated in an instant.

And all of this was the intentional act of a certain great power.

What immense divine power is this?

The joy Fang Cheng felt from his recent breakthrough vanished without a trace. ’The higher one’s realm, the more one realizes their own insignificance...’

The immortal path was long, and he had far to go.

Fang Cheng humbly asked for guidance, "This sword must be a Flying Sword forged by the Ancient Divine Race. No wonder I can’t refine it, despite my many attempts. Do you know of a way?"

Jia Yin smiled faintly and said, "The Ancient Divine Race and our Human Race have stood as equals for several Quantitative Calamities, and we have long since come to understand each other very well. To uncover the secrets of the Ancient Divine Race, the great powers of the Human Race once dissected tens of thousands of their experts, studying their physical structures and Divine Power. From this, they created a Profound Skill and spread it widely throughout the major Spiritual Sky Realms."

"After mastering this Profound Skill, one can transform their Dharma Aspect into a phantom aspect that is indistinguishable from that of an Ancient Divine Race Cultivator. This allows them to cultivate and control the Divine Secret Skills and Magical Artifacts of the Ancient Divine Race—learning the enemy’s strengths to use against them."
