Chapter 309: Chapter 185: Ominous Sign, Escape from the Profound Celestial Sword Sect Territory
"The Earth Escape Talisman truly has boundless mysteries."
"However, it’s reasonable that it hasn’t become a mainstream mobility talisman."
With just one attempt, Jiang Fan realized the advantages and disadvantages of the Earth Escape Talisman.
The advantage is self-explanatory, offering an additional means of escape.
Moreover, if you delve deep into the earth, the enemy will find it hard to trace your tracks.
With the barrier of the earth, the enemy’s spiritual sense, and various tracking methods, will all be rendered ineffective.
No matter how strong the cultivator is compared to oneself, they will be helpless.
However, the drawbacks are quite evident as well.
When roaming the earth, one needs to constantly activate the power of the Earth Escape Talisman, which consumes a large amount of spiritual power.
The amount of spiritual power consumed is nothing comparable to the Light Body Talisman.
If the same amount of spiritual power could sustain the Light Body Talisman for several hours, the Earth Escape Talisman can only last for about ten minutes.
The difference in spiritual power consumption between the two is simply astonishing.
Moreover, once the spiritual power is exhausted and the effect of the Earth Escape Talisman dissipates, the cultivator will be crushed by the surrounding soil.
This is the perilous aspect of the Earth Escape Talisman.
Additionally, the speed is slow.
Flying in midair is vastly different in speed compared to roaming under the earth.
The speed of the Earth Escape Talisman is undoubtedly far inferior to the Light Body Talisman and Sword Flight Technique.
Often, the latter can travel hundreds of kilometers while the former can only roam a mere twenty or thirty kilometers.
High spiritual power consumption, slow speed, these are the fatal flaws of the Earth Escape Talisman.
Thus, it is almost unusable for travel, only for escaping and avoiding enemy pursuit.
"However, this isn’t a flaw of the Earth Escape Talisman but a flaw of the user."
"The power of the Earth Escape Talisman is undeniable."
"Besides, this is just the beginner level of the Earth Escape Talisman."
"If it could be improved to skilled level or even perfection level, then the utility of the Earth Escape Talisman would not be less than the Light Body Talisman; after all, there truly exist demon beasts in the cultivation realm that roam freely under the earth."
"These demon beasts travel through the earth at speeds not less than flying in midair."
"If they can achieve this, there’s no reason I can’t."
Jiang Fan was quite confident in the Earth Escape Talisman, believing in its future potential.
He thought the multitude of flaws shown by the Earth Escape Talisman were due to insufficient skill level.
For instance, his newly learned Earth Escape Talisman can only perform simple earth roaming.
If encountering deep-earth stones, it would still be hindered.
But as the skill level increases, these issues will be easily resolved.
As for the problem of insufficient spiritual power, it’s not something to worry about.
The spiritual power within him is several times that of cultivators of the same tier Foundation Establishment.
Even if some spiritual power is consumed, it can be quickly replenished.
Compared to other cultivators, his use of the Earth Escape Talisman must be much more powerful.
"Even if it’s not a mainstream talisman."
"This means that cultivators proficient in the Earth Escape Technique are few and far between."
"Thus, when enemies face my Earth Escape Talisman, they can only be left staring blankly."
Jiang Fan was very satisfied with the Earth Escape Talisman.
He decided to spend some time quickly raising the skill level of this Life Talisman.
After all, since this is a skill for saving one’s life, it’s naturally necessary to be extremely familiar and expert in it.
Boom!!
Thinking of this, his mind moved, and he immediately opened the virtual panel on his body.
[Name: Jiang Fan]

[Realm: Fourth-Layer Foundation Establishment (1%)]
[Profession: Tier Two Low-grade Rune Master (90%)]
Clearly, after advancing to the Fourth-Layer Foundation Establishment, various abilities on him have progressed quite a bit.
And his wealth has explosively increased to as much as 900,000 Spirit Stones.
Originally, he only had 400,000 Spirit Stones.
But after obtaining the Spirit Stones from four Foundation Establishment cultivators on Ma Zhong Mountain, his wealth increased by 500,000 Spirit Stones.
Unfortunately, not many rare treasures were found on them.
Only some common elixirs and materials.
So it was all exchanged into Spirit Stones.
After all, Spirit Stones are always the hard currency in the cultivation realm.
Though they can’t buy extremely precious treasures, ordinary treasures of heaven and earth can still be easily purchased.
He thought these 900,000 Spirit Stones aren’t particularly plentiful.
They can only barely satisfy the cultivation needs of himself and Su Weiwei.
Thinking this, Jiang Fan sat cross-legged on the ground and entered deep cultivation again.
As he had just advanced to the Fourth-Layer Foundation Establishment.
It is still necessary to spend some time consolidating his cultivation.
.....
Time quickly passed a month.
During this month, Seven Stars Peak remained calm and quiet.
There were no more sightings of demon cultivators around either.
This made the cultivators of Seven Stars Peak feel much more at ease; after all, being targeted by demon cultivators could make sleeping and eating difficult.
It seems that after this attack incident, it has made the demon cultivators realize that Seven Stars Peak is not to be trifled with.
Therefore, they have changed their attack targets and no longer bother the cultivators of Seven Stars Peak.
