Chapter 456: Xuan Gong Swallowing Earth Veins

Chapter 454 – Xuan Gong Swallowing Earth Vein

Seeing that Jiao Xiuyuan agreed so readily, Li Fan nodded, “Then, I’ll be troubling fellow Daoist Jiao in this matter. Wait for your good news!”

After saying that, he threw a communication spirit talisman to Jiao Xiuyuan and left straight away without mentioning leaving a receipt or anything like that.

“This person is quite assured of me.” Jiao Xiuyuan muttered in a low voice and tossed the Delusion Breaking Stone Eye in his hand.

In the next moment, the stone eye disappeared into thin air, going nowhere.

As for this puppet on the Ten Thousand Immortals Island, it changed back to its previous lazy appearance.

How could Jiao Xiuyuan not think that it wasn’t that Li Fan trusted him very much.

Rather, this Delusion Breaking Stone Eye is purely a pretext used by Li Fan to get involved with him. Even if he couldn’t sell it, or even swallowed it, it didn’t matter to Li Fan. What Li Fan really cared about was the “big business” behind him.

Returning to the Tian Xuan Mirror, Li Fan remembered the other object found in the Tian Ji Sect’s ruins.

He had sliced off and brought back a whole layer of the tower.

His initial hunch was correct.

After Tian Xuan Mirror’s appraisal, the whole layer of stone tower was actually a magic weapon named [Qian Kun Tian Ji Dice].

When a mortal rolls the dice, he gets the number of five or six.

And the cultivator rolls the dice, then get the number of heavenly chances.

Ancient Tianji Sect practitioners, is relying on this Qiankun Tianji dice, with enough information as the basis, using the qi sense as a driving force, deduction of the future of the countless possibilities.

And the reason why what Li Fan saw was just an empty piece.

That’s because the Qian Kun Tian Ji Dice was fixed in the scene where the deduction was completed.

“A piece of nothingness.”

“I don’t know what the Heavenly Chance Sect cultivator back then was deducing. Surprisingly, what they got was such a result.”

Li Fan reached out his hand and a crystal clear positive icosahedral dice instantly appeared in his palm.

On each side, upon a closer look, there seemed to be a different picture flickering.

Although Li Fan had tried several times before, using this Qiankun Tianji Dice to deduce the future to see if it was consistent with what he had experienced.

But perhaps because of the reason that he could not use it in the right way, he only got some broken and meaningless images, which were of little practical use.

Even so, Li Fan did not sell it. In his heart, he always had a hunch that keeping it might be of great use in the future.

After playing with it for a while and putting away the Heavenly Chance Dice, Li Fan’s mind shifted to the side of his alter ego “Zhou Qingang”.

He had been staying in Tai’an Island these days, only occasionally using the communication talisman to contact the necessary people.

He wasn’t simply fidgeting, but was researching ways to overcome the side effects of the Heaven Swallowing and Earth Eating Technique.

This secret art was either created after the ancient beast, the Returning Clam. Although it truly had the ability to devour the heavens and earth, the mind was extremely prone to losing its guard, and the end result would be either bracing oneself to death, or being discovered and killed alive.

However, Li Fan has mastered the power to maintain his absolute sanity.

That was the power of Blue Flame from the Spirit of Contemplation Illusion.

Not seeking to always be able to remain calm during the Heaven Swallowing and Earth Eating process, he only needed to close his hand at the critical moment.

With the dual support of the Enlightenment Pill and the Enlightened Spirit State, Li Fan was finally able to successfully do this after wasting some effort.

However, if he wanted to increase his cultivation level through the Heaven Swallowing and Earth Eating Technique, he still needed to solve the problem of the earth veins being solidified and unable to be absorbed.

In this regard, Li Fan also had a plan in place.

After hiding his figure and teleporting to Spirit Wood Island in the western part of the Cong Yun Sea, he continued to fly westward.

Almost 500 miles later, Li Fan quietly dived into the sea.

After diving deep into the sea and searching for a few moments, he was able to find the remains of the sunken island.

In his last life, it wasn’t long before the island would resurface due to an inexplicable earth vein shift.

The re-energized island protection formation would also attract the attention of the array masters of the Cong Yunhai Ceremonial Array Hall. But before all that happened, this place looked no different from the other ruins that littered the seabed.

Li Fan came into the ruins and waited patiently.

Seven days later, the seabed suddenly shook slightly.

“It’s coming!”

Li Fan said in his heart, his two feet stepped violently and his body suddenly sank.

At the same time, he operated the [Heaven Swallowing and Earth Eating Technique] and sensed it.

Unknown and extremely far away, a rushing force came remotely through the earth veins.

It slowly reactivated the originally depleted earth vein nodes here.

If no other external force interfered, this revitalized earth vein node would have topped the sunken island back to the surface of the sea.

But now that Li Fan was here, such a thing would not happen.

Beneath his feet, it seemed as if a huge whirlpool had been created.

The power of the earth’s veins that swarmed around him was all sucked into Li Fan’s body before it could take shape, transforming it into pure aura.

At the same time, the gong method practiced by the doppelganger also quickly and spontaneously operated.

It was not the original gong method that Spy Zhou Qingang practiced.

Instead, it was another YuanYing gong method that Li Fan had obtained from the Tian Ji Sect, the Heaven’s Will Xuan Gui Gong.

This ancient technique was originally extremely slow to cultivate. But at this moment, under the unrestricted acceleration effect provided by the Heaven Swallowing and Earth Eating Grand Technique, it was improving at an appalling speed.

The power of the earth’s veins was unceasing, and Li Fan’s doppelganger ate his fill with reckless abandon.

And what was originally a change in the mountains and rivers that should have alarmed the four directions of the sea was dissipated without anyone knowing about it.

In only a few moments, the split’s cultivation had reached the bottleneck of the pre-Jindan stage.

Due to the existence of the Heaven’s Doom, even if the Heaven’s Will Xuan Gui Gong was running as fast as it could, the cultivation level could not be further advanced.

Li Fan frowned slightly and did not stop his devouring movements.

Even if all of the earth vein power that was devoured at this time was wasted, it did not hurt in the slightest.

The spiritual energy transformed from the Heaven Swallowing and Earth Eating Grand Technique continued to accumulate within the bilocation, completely filling up every part of the body.

Seeing that this split body was about to be completely burst, Li Fan slapped his own chest and suction power burst out from his hand.

Once again, the excess spiritual energy in his body was swallowed and transformed.

In the ancient times when there was no [Heaven’s Doom], there would not be a situation like Li Fan’s today, where the acquisition of spiritual power would only be unable to keep up with the rate of increase in cultivation.

But the existence of the cultivation bottleneck, is letting the Li Fan who is swallowing the sky and eating the earth at this moment, into a kind of weird situation.

The power transformed by swallowing was all used to accelerate the cultivation of the technique.

However, it was still unable to advance an inch.

The operation of the gong method had already reached a terrifying speed, like a raging tide, wave after wave pouring over the incomparably sturdy dam.

Li Fan carefully savored and recorded everything that was happening in his body.

Compared to the majestic power of the earth vein, the power of a small Jindan cultivator was not worth mentioning at all.

However, this share of power that should be able to allow a Jindan cultivator to advance to the YuanYing stage at the very least was being constantly depleted in the process of impacting the Heaven’s Doom.

However, the facts proved that what Li Fan had done was not useless.

In the countless impacts, the bottleneck finally appeared to loosen that much.
