Chapter 1139: The Significance of Anchor Points
Chapter 1129 – The Significance of the Anchor Point
A long, black robe with nine golden dragons embroidered on it, twisting around each other.
The coronet was hanging down, covering the face and making it impossible to see the face.
“Worthy of being a Heaven’s Mandate Saint Emperor, it is difficult for mortals to hope for a dragon’s face.”
When Sun Erlang felt the sight cast by Li Fan, his body shook slightly and he subconsciously lowered his head.
At the same time, he said in an astringent voice, “Back to teacher, disciple is incompetent. I just broke through to the first level of Qi Refining Stage yesterday.”
“Relying only on the little bit of spiritual qi gathered and within the palace, it is not easy for you to complete drawing qi into your body in such a short period of time.” Li Fan did not reproach, but instead nodded his head and comforted him.
When Sun Erlang heard this, he even showed a guilty look, “If it wasn’t for the [Xuan Huang Immortal Heart Mantra] that my teacher taught me, I’m afraid that at this moment, I would still be affected by the miasma in my body, making it difficult for me to ascend to the path of immortality.”
After Sun Erlang said that, he kowtowed a few times with great gratitude.
Li Fan did not stop.
When Sun Erlang got up again, he asked again lightly, “What is the overall progress of the forbidden army in learning the Immortal Heart Mantra?”
“As of yesterday, a total of one hundred and sixty generals have successfully been initiated and shed their mortal bodies. The rest who failed to pass the test have been disposed of as cleanly as possible.” A trace of intolerance flashed in Sun Erlang’s eyes, but he quickly covered it up.
“You and the others will be the main force in my conquest of the ten thousand realms in the future, you need to practice hard day and night and not slack off.”
“As for the issue of aura, you don’t need to worry. Three days later, you will personally take this immortal boat and head to the Eastern Market Abyss.”
Li Fan pointed with his hand and a ten feet sized wooden boat appeared in front of Sun Erlang.
The wooden boat was engraved with silver lines around its circumference, emitting a mysterious aura.
“It is truly an immortal treasure. This kind of treasure, master teacher is actually so relieved to hand it over to me.” Sun Erlang’s heart was flabbergasted as he hurriedly nodded his head in response.
And with that, the immortal boat flew into his arms.
A feeling of being like an arm in arm’s reach immediately surfaced in Sun Erlang’s heart.
“Go down.” Just as he was experiencing the Immortal Boat’s mysteriousness, Li Fan’s voice rang out at just the right time.
Sun Erlang bowed and retired.
In the entire back garden of the palace, Li Fan was the only one left.
The faceless face under the coronet and in the shadows looked strange and eerie.
“Hehe, if it wasn’t for the fact that this world is not destined to last too long and the attempt to simply grant the law to others, I’m afraid that it will be a long time before I find out that the original [Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra] isn’t subject to the restriction that the law can’t be cultivated in the same way.”
“Is it that the Immortal Heart Mantra doesn’t belong to the category of gong methods, or is it a favor reserved by the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao for the Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Father?”
“Regardless, the plan to select the right person to succeed the Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Father in the future will be much easier to execute than imagined.”
Li Fan’s thoughts slowly turned, and in a flash, he arrived atop the [Holy Emperor’s Seat] standing in Xuanjing City.
Silk of meager aura nourished Li Fan’s body.
It made his current late stage Foundation Establishment realm not regress due to the lack of aura.
Li Fan, who had been reincarnated for more than a hundred lifetimes and whose highest strength had reached the realm of the Transformation of God, and who was able to compete with Harmonization cultivators, had now returned to the Foundation Establishment realm. But the world in his eyes was already different from the past.
For example: a small world of mortals like Daxuan is not without the slightest presence of aura, after all, it is still connected to the Xuanhuang Realm.
After all, it is still connected to the Xuan Huang Realm. It is only because of the special structure of the small world itself, coupled with the blockade of the Immortal Extermination Formation, resulting in extremely thin spiritual qi, almost equal to nothing.
Cultivators unusual way simply can not be utilized, only those animals with a long lifespan, day by day, month by month, little by little accumulation, to be able to capture a limited amount of aura.
For example, the hundreds of feet long snake on the mountain.
“An entire world’s aura all extracted, can only maintain a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator barely survive ……”
“But it wouldn’t hurt to borrow it from the Xuan Huang Realm.”
The Taiyan Boat that Li Fan handed over to Sun Erlang had some new formations added to it. The purpose was to automatically fly into the Xuanhuang Realm, suck up the spiritual qi and store it, and then return.
Sun Erlang inside the Tai Yan Boat was naturally unable to see things outside the flying boat. All he needed to do was to bring the flying boat to the Market Abyss.
Although with Li Fan’s current level of formation dao, it would be difficult for the act of stealing the Xuanhuang Realm’s spiritual qi to be detected under the concealment of the formation.
But after all, it was not a long term solution.
If you wanted to generate aura from nothing, you still had to rely on the Daoyi Worm.
The Daoyi Worm was a strange beast that Li Fan could not create. However ……
Skimming over the hint that [Returning the truth] retained the option of the previous life, Li Fan looked at his panel.
Name: Li Fan
Realm: Late Foundation Establishment
Physical Age: 20/399
Mental Age: 1399/9999
Progress of Void Transformation Charge: 3%
Anchoring Charge Progress: 0%
Current number of anchors: 3
Currently available anchors: 1
Bound Items: Xuan Tian Mirror Origin (Remnant), Tai Yan Boat, Ten Thousand Beasts Condensed Crystal, Ten Thousand People’s Essence Blood, Dao Transformation Stone, Final Dissociation Dish
……
“Physiological age, back to 399 years old as it should be in the Foundation Establishment realm, but don’t worry about it. I should have returned to my true self long before my great limit is approaching.”
“The upper limit of mental age, even if I once broke through to the Transformation of God, there was no corresponding increase, it seems to have reached a threshold ……”
Li Fan just swept a glance and skimmed over these.
Focusing his attention on the number of anchor points, with the bound items.
Originally, the number of available fixed anchors was 2. After absorbing the primordial Five Elements Cave, it became 3.
As for now, there was only one left.
That was because Li Fan had used blank anchor points and completed the replacement of the bound item.
The Thousand Mechanisms Jade Huan Gold Medallion, became the Origin of the Xuan Tian Mirror.
Stopping the Remnant Tablet (Loss), became the Ten Thousand Beasts Condensed Crystal.
Anchor points were originally not easy to obtain, but in the process of absorbing the Primordial Five Elements Cavern and generating the anchor points, Li Fan had a new perception of the anchor point essence, Li Fan.
The wonders of heaven and earth, the method of Jindan, and the Primordial Cave Heaven.
The reason why Returning Truth needed to absorb these things to act as anchor points was most likely because Returning Truth was completing his knowledge of [external objects].
Just like the Heavenly Xuan Mirror accomplished its own sublimation by measuring heaven and earth, Returning Truth was simply and crudely absorbing experience through devouring.
“So it’s the opposite of what I thought before.”
“The closer something is to the essence of the world, the more recharge progress it will provide. Foundation building wonders and law jindan are too thin to fill the needs of the still true.”
“So the number of anchor points generated by absorption is instead limited.”
“Instead, the YuanYing Cave, the Change of Will-Birth, and even the Heaven and Earth Prana will provide a large amount of recharge progress.”
“With the behemoth that is the Xuanhuang Realm as a tonic, the number of anchor points is not an issue to be particularly worried about for the time being.”
Therefore, Li Fan did not hesitate to directly utilize the anchor point replacement function.
The Xuan Heavenly Mirror Origin, acquired by chance in his last life.
And the Ten Thousand Beasts Condensed Crystal ……
In his last life, before finally executing the Plan of Extinction, Li Fan had traveled to various small worlds to take a final inventory.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Turning Wheel was the harvest at the Empire as well as Xu Ke.
Li Fan’s thoughts slowly drifted back to that time.
“The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance raided and the Federation’s headquarters was destroyed?” Xiao Qing’s face turned deathly white when she heard the words coming out of Li Fan’s mouth.
“If I hadn’t cut the connection between the Spirit Wood Realm and you in time, I’m afraid that the empire would have been reduced to rubble at this moment.” Li Fan sighed slightly.
The Imperial Maiden and Little Red glanced at each other, their hearts filled with fear.
“However, you don’t have to worry excessively, although the Spirit Wood Realm was destroyed, the vast majority of the members of the headquarters escaped safely and temporarily lurked. When the storm passes, the federation will be able to rise again in an instant.” Li Fan coaxed without changing his face.
In response to this barefaced lie, the Empire and the others in turn became at ease after hearing it.
While listening to the report from the Empire and the others about the recent situation, Li Fan arrived in the Imperial Treasure Trove.
Sorting out the plot, one more shift today.
