Chapter 233: A Hundred Robberies but No End
Chapter 232 – A Hundred Robberies Without End
“Is the cultivation talent excellent ……”
“Perhaps it’s just Third Senior Brother’s encouragement on his deathbed.”
“If the talent is truly amazing, how could it be possible to stop at Jindan while alive.”
“It still needs to absorb and refine for thousands of years with the power of the earth’s fire before it can achieve God Transformation.”
“The sword took the wrong path and saved the country through curves. Although he eventually became a God Transformation Cultivator, it certainly doesn’t have anything to do with being strangely gifted.”
Li Fan secretly shook his head and sighed.
After a while, Li Fan began to summarize the information he had gained during this period of time.
At the earliest, when he first entered into the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, from the mouths of Qin Tang and the Bug Daoist, Li Fan had learned that there had once been a huge and exceptionally tragic war in the ancient times.
Although he did not know if it was influenced by that Everlasting Heavenly Father’s ability to forget his worries, Li Fan was unable to find any relevant records in the Heavenly Xuan Mirror.
But later on, in the [Search for Immortality], the horrifying sights of the war that the cultivator named Bu Er Ren had experienced vaguely indicated that this war had indeed existed.
And based on the [Eternal Remains of Thoughts] of Tian Yang Zhenren, Li Fan again had a deeper understanding of the cruelty of this war.
Even the unusual small mountain sects in the Immortal Cultivation World at that time had reached the point of near total annihilation.
One could imagine just how tragic this great war was.
Which two parties were fighting?
And for what was the battle being fought?
Tian Yang’s Senior Brother, Si Xing, had once contemptuously called the other side of the war “barbarians”.
But from the results of the battle, the strength of the other party was definitely not weak.
The Ten Immortal Sect’s side, though, had won in the end.
But it could only be described as a disastrous victory.
In his constant reincarnation, Li Fan had also encountered strong people with Harmonized Dao cultivation.
He clearly knew how terrifying a Harmonized Dao cultivator, really was.
However, in the ancient times, Harmonized Dao powerhouses were not said to abound.
But at least in those powerful clans, the number was not in the minority.
Not to mention, the Ten Great Immortal Sects, there were definitely still Everlasting Heavenly Dawns in existence.
Just by thinking about it, one could understand what a terrifying force these sects were when they were united.
What kind of enemy could force the Immortal cultivators to the point of near exhaustion?
Li Fan’s heart was filled with doubts.
The truth is hidden in the mist of history, even if Li Fan has many chances, to this day is only a shallow glimpse of a corner.
Wanting to truly understand what really happened in the beginning, Li Fan still needed more information.
Thinking about this, Li Fan quietly suppressed the trivial thoughts about the ancient war in his mind.
Turning his head, he thought about another matter.
“During the era of the Great War, the sects prospered immensely. The Ten Great Immortal Sect Alliance, for the entire Immortal Cultivation World, even had absolute dominance.”
“In the jade slip left by Tian Yang’s third senior brother, Lian Chang, what was recorded wasn’t the ‘Fake Heaven and Earth’s Wonders’ set of cultivation methods either.”
“So it is deduced that [the period of the Ancient War] should have been before the Immortal Dignity Change.”
“Perhaps it was because of this great war that these ancient sects were greatly wounded.”
“It was only then that Immortal Dignity’s new method could have the space and soil to fully develop.”
“[The period of change] is upon us, and the new law will eventually take the place of the old.”
“But after a few years, the Immortal Cultivation World returned to its heyday.”
“However, cultivators plundered the heavens and seized the earth, ushering in the backlash of heaven and earth. The Laws could not be practiced together, and the [Period of the Great Tribulation] suddenly descended.”
“At the beginning of the Great Tribulation Era, although there were inevitable fights between each other, the general order was still maintained.”
“But as time passed, more and more cultivators were approaching their great limitations. Collapse was inevitable.”
“It was at this juncture that the Immortal-Mundane Miasma erupted. This is called the [Period of the Great Plague].”
“Taking the lesser of two evils, under the threat of the Immortal Mortal Miasma, the Immortal Cultivators were forced to pause killing each other to find a solution to the Immortal Mortal Miasma.” “The mass slaughter of mortals was counterproductive, so they could only relocate them as a whole to the surrounding small worlds.”
“When this world was free of mortals and the problem of the Immortal Mortal Miasma was completely solved.”
“True chaos and killing descended. The orthodox order of the Immortal Cultivation World, which had lasted for an unknown number of thousands of years, collapsed in one fell swoop, and all the cultivators were like ants, struggling for their lives.”
“This period of time, I would like to call it the [Great Darkness Period].”
“Even the darkest days will always pass. When the number of cultivators decreases to an extreme value, the killing finally stops.”
“At this point, the Immortal Cultivation World has long since become a wasteland. Only a single, solitary, cultivator who survived the Great Darkness period lives in this desolate land.”
“It can be called the [Waste Land Period].”
“Then after that, there was the establishment of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association, and a new order of Immortal Cultivation reappeared in the Xuan Huang Realm.”
Li Fan organized all the things he had seen and heard since stepping into the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
A clear historical lineage slowly surfaced.
“The vitality of the Immortal Cultivator civilization is really tenacious.” Li Fan could not help but secretly sigh.
“Even after experiencing so many calamities, even if it was nearly completely destroyed, it was able to re-root itself from the ruins.”
And then he thought that his future opponents might all be old monsters who had survived from this period of one calamity after another.
Li Fan just couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingle.
However, he was undaunted.
“I can fail countless times.”
“But no matter what cultivation level you guys are at, as long as you fail once, you’ve completely lost.”
“And what do I have to fear?”
“I will execute those who obstruct my immortality.”
Li Fan had already seen that this new order of the Xuan Huang Realm was somewhat similar to that “fixed fish”.
If he wanted to survive, simply becoming the new fish leader was not enough.
He also had to escape the collective hunt of those ancient fish kings who were watching intently, before he could be considered truly qualified to control his own destiny.
The mind slowly calmed down.
The world of the Still True Simulacrum was not yet over.
Li Fan guessed that Tian Yang’s “plot” had not yet ended.
Anyway, in this world similar to the Meteoric Immortal Realm, the flow of time is not consistent with the real world.
Li Fan was in no hurry to go out.
So he simply stayed in this Body Transformation Dao Cave and practiced [Body Transformation of Other Self] with Tian Yang’s body.
The cultivation of the ancient method was still a novel experience for Li Fan.
It was not as direct and rough as the new method.
It was more focused on the realization of the technique itself, as well as the feeling and thinking of the Great Dao.
Compared to the mechanical and repetitive drudgery of the new method’s cultivation process.
The cultivation of the old method gave Li Fan a feeling of greater autonomy and joy in it.
Of course, this was also due to the fact that, at this time, Li Fan’s body, was a body that a Tian Yang Realist could cultivate.
If it was a mortal without the qualifications to cultivate, he would definitely not be so happy.
It did not require the wonders of heaven and earth, after reaching the perfection of Qi Refining.
As if the water was flowing, Li Fan borrowed Tian Yang’s body and broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
After that, it was even higher all the way to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and the late stage of Foundation Establishment ……
It wasn’t until Foundation Establishment Perfection that it came to a halt.
