"Oh no! If the forging fails, the divine abilities will scatter, all my cultivation will go down the drain! Even with the massive support of Immortal Realm energy from the World Tree, my magic power is not enough! Condensing the fifty-five divine abilities into a Natal Talisman is actually this difficult!" Fang Han finally understood why in the world, no one cultivated such a powerful talisman; it was almost impossible.
First, it required a long period of time to cultivate the divine abilities.
Even if one chose not to cultivate themselves, but stripped the golden cores of others, they still had to consider whether their sea of consciousness could contain them. Furthermore, without the Gate of Avici, one couldn't strip golden cores at all, because at a single thought from a Golden Core master, they could self-destruct.
Even if one was as lucky as Fang Han, picking up the golden core of Fire Cloud Fairy, they still had to consider if the sea of consciousness could contain it.
Even if the sea of consciousness could contain it, during the transformation, integrating so many profound abilities together consumed magical power that was simply terrifyingly boundless, it was utterly impossible for anyone to endure such intense consumption. Had Fang Han not had the support of the World Tree, in the time he started to refine the abilities, his magic power would have drained dry, the divine abilities would dissipate, turning him into a cripple.
He had not anticipated that refining fifty-five profound abilities into a talisman would consume so much. If he had known, he surely would have prepared earlier.
However, he couldn't be blamed. Reaching the Heaven and Human Realm with fifty-five profound abilities was unprecedented since ancient times. Perhaps not a single cultivator of this kind had appeared in a river of ten thousand years. Having no experience was very normal.
"Quick! Take out all the Dharma crystals and jades quickly! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
With a flash of inspiration, two giant treasure pouches flew up, and all the Dharma crystals and jades taken from the "Moon Piercing Bandit" and "Star Extinguishing Bandit" were grabbed out, exploding one after the other. The magical power inside them flew straight into Fang Han’s mouth and then sprayed out to refine the abilities!
Crackle, crackle! Crackle, crackle!
Massive heaps of priceless Dharma crystals and jades all turned into dust. Fang Han finally received powerful support, and his magic power kept up once more.
Boom!
A muffled thunderclap echoed, souls shook. Star Cloud Baby was震倒 to the ground, Yan's body shivered, Blood Night King's eyes widened, and he bodily convulsed while observing the changes in Fang Han.
Amidst this heavy sound, the fifty-five divine abilities finally melded together into a miraculous talisman completely extending three feet long and nine inches wide.
What kind of talisman was this!
From the deepest core, it radiated a five-color intense light that people dared not look straight at. Outside, brilliant starlight danced, among them were clouds, thunder, dragons, tigers, genuine forms of mountains, various bizarre writings, shadows of swords, sabers, fists, and even humanoid figures fiercely punching and displaying a multitude of hand seals and martial techniques…
An immensely irresistible force pushed Star Cloud Baby and even three Dao artifacts aside. No matter how much they struggled, they couldn't come near this miraculous talisman.
This talisman was continuously transforming. Waves of auspicious clouds hovered wrapped around it. Those auspicious clouds and rays of light, mingling with the profound light from the deepest core, transformed into miniature figures reciting peculiar scriptures, praising the talisman's wondrous nature. Some golden-armored and silver-armored gods, the size of a thumb, were blowing dharma instruments shaped like conches and beating upon phantom celestial drums, omitting mystical sounds.
"Blowing great dharma conches! Beating great dharma drums!" Yan and Star Cloud Baby simultaneously yelled out.
They were amazed. Within Fang Han's Natal Talisman, the sounds of dharma conches and dharma drums were actually echoing. This was a phenomenon, an absolute phenomenon!
"Brother Fang Han has the foundation to become an immortal! My father told me, if someone condensing a Natal Talisman, or forming a Golden Core, or Heaven and Earth Dharma Form exhibits the phenomenon of blowing great dharma conches and beating great dharma drums, it is because their foundation has reached an utmost level. Such people have the potential to become immortals!"
"Blowing great dharma conches and beating great dharma drums, this relates to a profoundly thick foundation producing this vision, possessing the quality of an immortal!"
Star Cloud Baby and Yan said simultaneously.
For ordinary cultivators, out of ten thousand, maybe even a million, reaching the Longevity Secret Realm was already none in an era. As for a cultivator in the Longevity Secret Realm wanting to become an immortal by breaking the secret barrier of time and space, tearing up the doors of the Immortal Realm and ascending—that was even harder. It entailed countless fortuitous encounters, myriad opportunities, and endless accumulations of experience, alongside stunning talents. Furthermore, directly starting to cultivate required forging an unfathomable and solid foundation initially.
Experiencing this unthinkably powerful foundational behavior usually manifested when forging a Natal Talisman, or condensing a Golden Core, or forming Heaven and Earth Dharma Forms, accompanied by visions of blowing great dharma conches and beating great dharma drums all around.
Naturally, this only proved the profound foundation Fang Han had laid down. To become an immortal represented an unimaginable journey, and this was merely taking the very first step. Numerous hurdles stood between now and merely reaching the Longevity Secret Realm.
However, undoubtedly, this Natal Talisman of Fang Han possessed boundless power! It completely transcended Blood Night King, the Sun Moon Five Stars Bracelet, and even Yan's current power. More importantly, this Natal Talisman was uniquely his—his true strength acquired through immense hard work. A power absolutely genuine, carrying no hint of pretense.
"Hahahahaha! Yan, Blood Night King, let us depart. Go and seek the talisman the Senior stated was at the center of the Five Elements Land. From now on, you fully protect Star Cloud Baby; I no longer need your protection. The Natal Talisman is completed, with the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Ability incorporated deep within, avoiding invasions by all evils and remaining unbroken against all laws!"
Fang Han allowed the Natal Talisman to hover above his head, surging directly up from underground straight onto the surface. Wherever the light from the talisman bathed the soils, they all instantly melted into gases, immediately inhaled into the talisman, becoming Yellow Emperor Earth Emperor Dao Essence.
Presently, he could traverse under earth, plunging down, and surrounding earth and rock would all become Wu Earth elemental energy. Such was the profoundly secret logic of the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Ability and also the power of the Natal Talisman.
Currently, Fang Han just needed to deploy this "Natal Talisman," and regular Dao artifacts would invariably fail to dent him. Even a detonation from an ordinary Golden Core cultivator’s golden core would most likely be incapable of blasting him to death—at best, it might inflict injury. Naturally, if it was an explosion involving more than twenty profound abilities within the core, there would still be danger, but merely danger.
Possessing such overwhelming might, he inherently needed no more protection from arrays or magical treasures; his Natal Talisman remained his utmost defensive and offensive instrument.
Rising out from underground, Fang Han surged with self-satisfaction! Endowed with an aura reigning superior over the universe!
Directing his eyes towards the distant horizons, presiding above the world, who could possibly stand as a rival?
"Meng Shaobai, upon encountering you next, I will absolutely hammer you like a dead dog. Your Lifeless Sword Dao is totally useless facing my Natal Talisman! Divine Ability Sixth Tier Unity Realm, I have finally achieved it… As for Hua Tiandu… I suspect the day I hammer you like a dog is not far distant."
Releasing a loud howl, Fang Han vaulted onward into the distance.
Since witnessing the Taiyi Sect and other factions entering this Five Elements Land, naturally he wished to seize the initiative, obtaining the talisman stored within first. While unaware of its other applications, the words of that ancient Demon Venerable specified it as a vital item enabling command over the realm in time. Furthermore, it represented his essential ticket outdoors. Without a doubt, he could not relinquish it to others.
Should he fail to get hold of the talisman, escaping via Taiyi's gateway was practically unfeasible. Might he just wait to be saved by the Sect Master? That would certainly appear drastically worthless.
Perfecting the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Ability within the Five Elements Land and attaining the Unity Realm, Fang Han comprehensively realized importance of this holy land.
This stood as the utmost suitable trial grounds for major Immortal factions. Much more excellent compared to an equivalent "Heavenly Demon Battlefield" within his own Yuhua Sect. While his Origin Energy Pills allowed profound numbers of inner and outer disciples an access to step into the Divine Ability realm, this Five Elements Region could enable countless ones towards actualizing their Stellar Energy states. It additionally proved to benefit Heaven and Human Realm practitioners to accomplish Unity much quicker.
Foremost resources concerning Secret Realm cultivators mostly manifested within pills, beside essence deriving from Five Elements. Procuring and refining required perpetual lifetimes of arduous struggling. Conditions prevailed favorably concerning major factions equipped with rich spiritual caverns, while completely lamentable over independent wandering cultivators.
Additionally, mighty spirit creatures located within this realm—White Tigers, Vermillion Birds, Huang snakes… even comprising those Golden Essence Life-Snatching Spirit Bees, Fire Crows, Wood Giants—stood all universally classified as rare treasures. An individual merely capturing a single speciman easily converted it either onto a magic treasure, or into a puppet, augmenting strengths universally.
Foremost acquire the talisman spoken by Demon Venerable. Then grapple amongst top-tier masters from Taiyi Sect!
Accomplishing Natal Talisman forging, Fang Han instantly beamed overflowing limitless heroic ambitions.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Navigating forwards hurriedly inside intense flying, Fang Han inadvertently alarmed another potent monstrous beast. Proceeding deeper within internal territories concerning the Five Elements Land, diminutive fiends altogether disappeared; nor anymore remaining clustered flocks akin to generic Fire Crows and Spirit Bees encountered outerwards. In lieu, localized creatures surged distinctly more mighty, specifically materializing those resembling gigantic level spirit beasts.
Roar, roar! From beneath earth soared upwards mountain-like gushing water, consolidating directly formulating an icy-crystal watery summit. Displaying majestically atop this water mountain, visibly appeared a gigantic bizarre turtle encompassing dragon's head, tortoise body, possessing serpentine tail. Atop scales concerning this creature prominently glinted thousands upon thousands of talismans. Enormously abundant water elemental energy forcefully diffused out.
Astonishingly this happened representing a Black Turtle!
Water attribute divine beast, Black Turtle.
"Human Cultivator? You actually dare to invade my territory?" the Black Turtle declared against Fang Han, resonating deeply while roaring loudly.
"Kill!"
Without any useless bantering, Fang Han's Natal Talisman positioned directly overhead instantaneously lunged forward aggressively targeting this particular Black Turtle.
Grinning coldly, that Black Turtle unhinged its massive muzzle vomiting unquantifiable arrays manifesting Gui Water Divine Lightnings.
However, immediately at traversing Fang Han's Natal Talisman, this barrage composed out of Gui Water Divine Lightning abruptly scattered apart; astoundingly absorbed efficiently towards the talisman entirely, sequentially propelling immense swelling regarding the talisman manifesting suddenly as fifty-five rays akin alongside divine sword light, bluntly ripping out destructively!
Boom!
Altogether sweeping the Black Turtle coupled along underlying mountainous formations completely, crushing them, reverting elements towards pristine steam mingling amongst the talisman respectively. At this exact time Fang Han directly sensed corresponding powers specifically concerning Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist inside his talisman boosting tremendously. Initial water clouds formally restricted encapsulating mere expanses sizing several tens miles couldn't generate Gui Water Divine Lightning further beyond limits.
Presently however, expansive water cloud domains fully covering entire hundred-mile expanses universally released Gui Water Divine Lightning successfully!
Gathering closer around back onwards, Blood Night King, Star Zen, Star Cloud Baby, together closely including Yan directly witnessed this staggering occasion, virtually gaping slacked jaws dropping deeply. A sole Black Turtle, Water Divine Creature, physically manifested existence concerning water essence, sufficiently matching seventh-tier Golden Core realm's power existences directly perished effortlessly without traces!
To whatever measure specifically had this Natal Talisman grown incredibly profound?
"Hmph! These count absolutely zero. Naturally matching capabilities against Golden Core elites yet solely lacking functional agile intellect. Sooner rather than later, I ought to explicitly grab hold upon genuine Golden Core practitioners directly toward demonstrating full strengths!"
Fang Han declared arrogantly.
