Chapter 57: The Opportunity Has Suddenly Appeared
Chapter 57 – Opportunity Suddenly Appears
In his last life, Li Fan broke through the blockade of the Immortal Extermination Formation by chance when his lifespan was about to expire, and came to the Immortal Cultivation World for the first time.
At that time, the scene he saw was a continuous mountain range as well as a lofty city standing in the sky.
In this life, after Li Fan came to the Immortal Cultivation World, he came to a vast ocean.
Before this, Li Fan had not thought much about it, only thinking that something had gone wrong during the teleportation.
It wasn’t until today, when Li Fan saw the depleted Cong Yun Sea and the birth of the strange creature Canghai, that he finally understood.
There was no change, what he came to after passing through the Immortal Overwhelming Formation was indeed the same place.
It was only that the two times before and after he came to the Immortal Cultivation World were different.
When Li Fan came to the Immortal Cultivation Realm in his last life, he was already 85 years old at that time, that is, 65 years of anchoring.
And in this life, Li Fan entered the Immortal Cultivation Realm at the age of 40, after the progress of Void Transformation Charge was 100%.
That was anchoring 20 years.
With an interval of 45 years, one encountered the sea and the mountains.
It was no wonder that Li Fan hadn’t thought in that direction.
Without having personally experienced it, I’m afraid that even if someone had told him in advance that such a huge change in heaven and earth would occur, he would have only been half believing it.
So Li Fan smiled.
For one thing, he laughed at himself for not being able to get rid of his mortal mentality after all.
If he had been able to connect all the anomalies that Zhang Haobo had reminded him of earlier with the difference between what he had seen on the two occasions, he might have been able to notice this great change in heaven and earth in advance.
Secondly, it was because he finally saw the hope that this disaster would subside.
In the 50th year of the Anchor, Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi broke into the Grand Xuan. At that time, they declared that they were from Ling Tian City in the Cong Yun Mountain Range.
It was thought that this drought had already passed before then.
The dry ocean would be transformed into vibrant mountains.
It is now the 34th year of the anchor, and it is not far off.
Waiting without hope is the most torturous, and knowing the final outcome makes this seemingly endless plague of inflammation less frightening.
Li Fan calmed down and reentered Tai’an Island.
Looking at the mortals who were on tenterhooks and had become somewhat numb and could only pray and kowtow day and night, Li Fan sent a message to the entire island, telling them that this disaster would eventually pass.
Receiving the instructions from the immortal master, the residents of the island were ecstatic and rekindled their hope for survival.
Li Fan, on the other hand, went into seclusion and took out the Canghai Pearl again.
“Is this where the silver lining lies?”
Li Fan observed this azure heaven and earth wonder.
Divine Sense surged into it, but it was like a clay ox entering the sea, disappearing in an instant.
“It seems like it will take some effort to use it.” Seeing this, Li Fan pondered.
The heaven and earth wonders were the key to achieving the foundation of the Dao, and how to find and use them were all precious and incomparable experiences.
The exchange price required in the Heavenly Xuan Realm was also extremely expensive, requiring nearly 2000+ contribution points.
Li Fan could only feel his way around on his own at the moment.
Next, Li Fan made numerous attempts.
Infusing it with aura, warming it with divine sense, and even bombarding it with external force, and finally even the method of refining it by dripping blood was tried.
However, the Vast Ocean Pearl was always indifferent, unable to induce the majestic water vapor it contained.
In the end, it was Li Fan who had a flash of light and thought of the Thousand Mechanisms Jade Huan Gold Chapter, which had methods of sensing and refining qi from various heaven and earth spirits.
At that moment, he activated the “Recognizing Qi” divine ability and looked towards the Canghai Pearl.
A deep blue light surrounded the Canghai Bead.
Ancient, profound, vitality ……
Although the Canghai Pearl was small, the complexity and power of its qi was greater than that of all the living beings on Tai’an Island.
It is just that it is still in warmth and dormancy, so it can’t be easily distinguished without careful observation.
Li Fan carefully sensed the qi of the Canghai Pearl.
As soon as he made contact, Li Fan felt his body disappear.
It was as if he had all of a sudden arrived above the nine heavens, looking down at the ocean below with an overhead lens. The Cong Yun Sea had existed for eternity, harboring countless living beings.
But one day, a certain will in the heavens and earth suddenly descended.
And so, the ocean began to die.
Born to kill, the will of the Tao.
Heaven wants to burn the sea, and the sea is powerless to resist.
Yet, He is defiant!
And so, though the ocean passes away, another ocean is born!
……
Boom!
Li Fan detached himself from that realm of its marvelousness.
Before he could hastily reminisce about those scenes he had seen earlier, he suddenly felt a wave of debilitation and almost didn’t even stand still.
Upon inspection, Li Fan was even more appalled to find that he actually had a trace of white hair at some point, and subtle wrinkles appeared on his face.
This was only the moment of merging with the Canghai Pearl’s qi!
Li Fan then opened the [Return to Truth] panel, and even more so, he sucked in a breath of cold air.
Name: Li Fan
Realm: Mid-Qi Refining
Physical Age: 89/199
Mental Age: 517/2280↑
In just a split second, Li Fan’s physiological age directly changed from 54 to 89.
In just an instant, it was as if 35 years had passed.
“No wonder even in the Ancient Heavenly Qi Sect, the number of people who practiced this technique was very few. It’s only the consciousness of a side of the vicissitudes of the sea, and when one comes into contact with it, one’s lifespan also depletes at a rapid rate.”
“If it wasn’t for the fact that the longevity was consumed so quickly that my body spontaneously warned me, I’m afraid that I would have to be assimilated into the oceanic sea consciousness so inexplicably. At that time, it’s really hard to say whether or not I can still activate [Returning Truth].”
Li Fan realized what had just happened and was a little frightened.
“No, it’s definitely not using this method to manipulate the wonders of heaven and earth.”
Li Fan knew that he must have gotten the method wrong.
The time scale senses of a human being were really not of the same magnitude when compared to the heavens and earth, mountains and rivers, and the vicissitudes of the ocean.
Even those mighty Immortal Cultivators who could live for thousands of years were far from being able to compare with them.
Rashly using human consciousness to contact, only to be assimilated one end.
Then how exactly could one manipulate the wonders of heaven and earth?
Li Fan held the Canghai Pearl, his face uncertain.
……
Time passed day by day, and Li Fan never figured out a way to use the Canghai Bead.
And the weather also became hotter and hotter, as if it was going to carry out a final and thorough purification of the Cong Yun Sea.
The mortals on the island gradually became unable to even find the strength to pray.
Li Fan was clear that if it continued like this, these mortals might not be able to wait for this heat disaster to pass, they would have to die first.
Dying before the dawn was about to come was despairing.
Li Fan also couldn’t help but become a little restless, with distracting thoughts in his mind.
In order to quiet his mind, he could not help but run the long-lost Xuan Huang Refining Heart Mantra.
Ever since he became a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, the vast majority of his energy had been used to cultivate these techniques, the Diffractive Water Decree and the Thousand Mechanisms Jade Huan Gold Chapter.
It had been a long time since he had deliberately practiced the Xuan Huang Refining Heart Incantation.
This was because it didn’t help with the substantial increase in cultivation, and even if one didn’t go and actively cultivate the Heart Refining Mantra, it would still run slowly and spontaneously.
So Li Fan also put it aside.
At the moment, as the Heart Refining Mantra was running, all the negative emotions in Li Fan’s heart such as uneasiness, fear, and eagerness slowly disappeared and became the nutrients to grow his Dao Heart.
As his heart became calm again, Li Fan suddenly felt something in his heart.
The opportunity for his breakthrough also fell on this Canghai Pearl.
