Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 938: Chapter 470: Refining the Human Emperor Banner, Human Dao Sacred Artifact (2)

So Daoist Soul Devourer enhanced the power of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to such an extent; one can only imagine how many lives were slaughtered.

”If I can completely control the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, I fear one person could become an army.”

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin.

He knew the formidable aspects of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner; this magical treasure can control thousands of evil spirits and vengeful souls. The more evil spirits mastered, the mightier the Ten Thousand Souls Banner becomes.

More than ten thousand evil spirits equate to more than ten thousand cultivators.

At the same time, they can unleash soul attacks, often obliterating enemies without a trace.

Not even the enemies’ numerous defenses can withstand it.

”If one needs souls, then what souls can be of higher quality than those of demons?”

”Perhaps I could slaughter many demons and imprison their souls within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.”

”Once successful, I could enslave the souls of these celestial demons and demons for my own use.”

Jiang Fan’s eyes glinted coldly.

He felt that confronting the upcoming catastrophe of the Void Realm alone was exceedingly challenging.

He had to find more methods to counteract the apocalyptic calamity.

And mastering the Demon Dao treasure, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, was one such method.

Of course, this matter might not be so simple either.

As demonic cultivators, don’t they know that demon and celestial demon souls are of higher quality? If they could enslave these souls, the power of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner would undoubtedly be more formidable.

Unfortunately, they are entirely unable to do so.

Because the Ten Thousand Souls Banner has another characteristic, which is its difficulty to control.

The souls within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner are numerous and possess certain grievances and autonomy. If the holder doesn’t have considerable strength and soul power, it is easy to be counterattacked by the evil spirits inside.

There have been many who met tragic ends as holders of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

So, despite knowing the Banner’s mighty power, many demon cultivators dare not easily attempt refining it.

After all, if such a magical treasure cannot be controlled and instead leads to one’s demise, refining it serves no purpose and is simply courting death.

Ordinary souls are already so terrifying, so what about demon and celestial demon souls? Their counterattacks would undoubtedly be even more horrifying, beyond the control of typical demon cultivators.

Once out of control, those celestial demons would swarm out, devouring the holder’s soul entirely.

Over time, naturally, no demon cultivator dared to foolishly entertain any idea about celestial demons.

”What those demon cultivators couldn’t achieve, I might be able to.”

Jiang Fan squinted his eyes.

Because he possessed immense Luck Points, he could entirely use the power of fortune to fully refine and control the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

At the same time, he also held an Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman, the Heaven-Transforming Staff Talisman.

This talisman can convert sentient beings, naturally capable of converting demons and even celestial demons.

If successful in conversion, perhaps it would no longer be the Ten Thousand Souls Banner but the Human Emperor Banner.

”Let’s give it a try. If it doesn’t work, then I’ll destroy this demon artifact.”

With this thought, Jiang Fan immediately took out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Boom~~

The instant the Ten Thousand Souls Banner appeared, it emitted billowing black smoke. Countless evil spirits emerged deep within, as if housing innumerable skeletons, filled with endless resentment and malice.

”Little ghost, let us out, let us out immediately.”

”A mere Divinity Transformation Cultivator dreams of controlling the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. You must be delusional.”

”Kill him, kill this boy, and we can truly achieve freedom.”

In an instant, many evil spirits roared. They knew the old soul-devouring demon was dead, and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner had lost its original master, leaving no one to control them.

For them, this was also the only chance of escaping to freedom.

They also sensed the immense soul aura emitting from Jiang Fan, each becoming excited. After all, for evil spirits, a massive soul is the ultimate delicacy.

If they could devour this human cultivator, their cultivation would surely advance by leaps and bounds.

”Noisy.”

Jiang Fan looked calmly at the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

He immediately consumed a large amount of Luck Points, an immense and mysterious energy instantly penetrated into the depths of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and golden light enveloped the entire banner.

A million, three million, five million, ten million Luck Points...

A massive amount of Luck Points poured into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner like money was of no concern, allowing him to instantly gain mastery over this Demon Dao treasure.

At the same time, streams of golden light descended, appearing like the Light of Virtue, containing infinite power especially suppressing evil spirits.

Chizzz~~Chizzz~~

The vast golden light fell upon these evil spirits, like snow encountering sunlight, melting away while they emitted piercing screams as if subjected to terrible torture.

The resentment, evil qi, hatred, and malice on them seemed to be reduced countless times at this moment.

”It hurts, it hurts.”

”Spare us, spare us, we won’t dare anymore.”

”Stop, accursed human, stop immediately.”

Numerous evil spirits let out wailing cries, feeling that this Divinity Transformation Cultivator was even more terrifying than the Soul Devourer demon, mastering the power that suppressed them, rendering them powerless.

In just an instant, they sensed that the Ten Thousand Souls Banner had been refined by this human cultivator.

The refining speed was simply unbelievable.

It was as if there was no need for their consent, directly seizing control of this magical treasure.

”Conversion.”

Although Jiang Fan had already refined the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, he did not stop, as refining it was only the beginning, the truly important part was these evil spirits.

Only by completely converting these evil spirits can the full power of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner be grasped.

Heaven-Transforming Staff Talisman!

In an instant, Jiang Fan invoked this Life Talisman.

Boom~~

Instantly, with the activation of the Heaven-Transforming Staff Talisman, a golden Buddha’s phantom appeared, his body towering like a mountain, each inch of skin flowing with a glossy shine, as if forged from countless stars.

The Buddha lightly held an invisible pure land in his left hand, while tightly grasping the staff in his right hand, exuding a majesty that suppressed all evil—the staff’s body was entwined with lifelike golden dragons, their scales shimmering in the golden light, and the scepter was embedded with a seven-colored pearl exuding rich Buddha aura with every flicker causing the surrounding void to tremble slightly.

Buzz~~

As the Buddha’s eyes slowly opened, countless golden beams burst from around him, piercing through the dense darkness like sharp blades. Wherever the beams passed, the black mist in the air instantly melted and turned into strands of white vapor ascending away.

Even more astonishingly, when those golden beams landed, they did not dissipate but rather rooted like seeds, blossoming into clusters of golden lotuses in the void, with their petals having the same pattern as the totems on the Buddha’s robe.

At this moment, countless swastika runes surged from the lotus cores, some fluttering lightly like butterfly wings, while others streaking across the sky like meteors. These runes were not static symbols but carried the vibrant life force of Buddha, each character softly chanting ancient scriptures.

When the first swastika rune collided with a wicked spirit that was clawing fiercely, a peculiar scene unfolded. That spirit had been roaring madly, its claws dripping with putrid blood, but at the moment the rune entered its body, it froze suddenly, the roar in its throat abruptly ceasing.

Its bluish-black skin faded visibly, its protruding fangs slowly retreating into its lips, and the originally bloodshot eyes gradually cleared.

It stared blankly at its hands, as if no longer recognizing these claws once stained with slaughter, moments later, its hands involuntarily raised slowly, joining in front of its chest in an awkward semblance of a prayer gesture.

This incredible power quickly spread.

In just a short while, countless evil spirits within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner were converted.

The originally roaring and raging band of evil spirits had completely changed form.

They gathered up their fierce qi, sat cross-legged, their bluish-black skin radiating a gentle golden light, and their once hideous faces turned tranquil like that of a child. As they clasped their hands in prayer again, a robe’s phantom similar to the Buddha’s appeared on them, streams of golden Buddha light emerged from their bodies, reflecting with the Buddha aura in the void.

At this moment, they no longer resembled evil spirits, but rather a group of novice monks worshiping the Buddha, their eyes sparkling with the light of newly born Buddha nature, as if reborn and revitalized.

”Succeeded.”

Seeing this scene, Jiang Fan sensed that he had completely mastered the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

The evil spirits within were effortlessly converted by him, transformed into followers, donned with robes.

Streams of faith power emanated from them, infinitely devout.

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner, originally emitting a sinister black smoke, now blossomed with golden beams, becoming exceptionally sacred.

It seemed to have transformed into a Human Dao Sacred Artifact.

This was no longer the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, but the Human Emperor Banner.
