Gradually regaining consciousness, Li Fan felt his youthful twenty-year-old body, he looked around at scenes that were familiar and foreign, and it took a long time for him to regain his senses.
The past life lasted 48 years, but in Li Fan’s perception, it felt longer than his previous nine lives combined.
In addition to the complexity and excitement of his experience in the Immortal Cultivation World surpassing his ordinary life in Da Xuan, the key reason was the assimilation he felt when he experienced the mechanism of heaven and earth guided by the Ocean Pearl’s will.
Of course, his first step into the Immortal Cultivation World also yielded impressive results.
Li Fan looked at the first option, an item he could choose.
The Storage Ring he bought from the Tianxuan Mirror, various types of books, and worldly treasures, including the Heavenly Wonder: Stop Step Remnant Stele and the Ocean Pearl, were listed.
Li Fan’s thoughts focused on the Ocean Pearl, and he realized that if he chose the Ocean Pearl, what he would get would be the pearl from his previous life, which had formed to a great extent when he was nearing the end of his life.
Having spent over a dozen years merged with the will of the Ocean Pearl, Li Fan was well aware of its power.
Although Li Fan was tempted, he decisively chose the second option, conserving his cultivation realm.
After all, cultivation is fundamental. Even if a mortal has treasures, it can only bring disaster.
Moreover, Li Fan knew that the Ocean Pearl was still on Liuyun Island, so he could go and retrieve it.
As Li Fan made his decision, two familiar streams of spiritual energy appeared out of thin air in his Dantian.
At the same time, a change came over Li Fan’s face.
Because he suddenly remembered that he was still just a mortal at the moment.
His body is still full of Immortal-Ordinary Miasma, and if it conflicted with the suddenly appearing spiritual energy, it would be extremely bad for him.
Fortunately, what Li Fan feared did not happen.
An inexplicable fluctuation descended on Li Fan’s body. A moment later, the spiritual energy in his Dantian surged out like a river, enveloping his entire body, transforming his physique, and elevating his realm.
Initial Stage of Energy Refining, Mid Stage of Energy Refining, Final Stage of Energy refining!
In just a moment, he accomplished the realm that he had strived for in his previous life, at the cost of his life.
Li Fan’s breath gradually stabilized.
Yet, his face showed a trace of shock.
Not because he achieved the Final Stage of Energy Refining in an instant, but because of the inexplicable fluctuation that descended on him!
Li Fan clearly felt that since the fluctuation descended, the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma inside him disappeared instantly, the disappearance was complete!
The effect was far better than when he forcibly expelled it through the Spirit Pond Purification Array in his previous life.
“This fluctuation…” Li Fan carefully pondered the fleeting fluctuation and vaguely felt a sense of familiarity.
“It’s the Will of Heaven and Earth, the Power of Principle!” Li Fan suddenly realises.
Having observed the Heaven and Earth Qi Mechanism through the Ocean Pearl for over a decade in his previous life, Li Fan was still far from mastering it, but he was able to recognize it when he saw it.
“If the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma is the Will of Heaven and Earth that forever separates mortals and immortals, then the fluctuations just now are completely the opposite.”
“The Immortal-Ordinary Miasma that has plagued the Immortal Cultivation
World for thousands of years, just disappeared so easily.”
“It really is unbelievable.”
“If I could master the method of purifying the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma…” Li Fan’s thoughts were surging for a moment.
After a long time, he finally calmed down.
The Tower of Nine Layers starts with partitioning the soil, attempting to reproduce that force of principle I just felt with my cultivation level at the Energy Refining Stage seems like a fool’s dream.
I still need to take it step by step.
Li Fan opened his Reality Panel, reviewing the previous life.

“The path of immortal cultivating is indeed difficult. Especially in this world where cultivators compete for the heavens and the earth, and heaven and earth hide killing mechanisms.”
“In my previous life, I just entered the Immortal Cultivation World and met that Su Changyu. I thought he was noble-minded and single-minded in pursuing the Path, surely he would achieve something. Who would have thought that he would die mysteriously within a few days.”
“On the contrary, that unassuming Xiao Heng by his side possesses extraordinary talent. He could possibly Foundation Establishment within a few years.”
“He Zhenghao and I believed that within his lifetime, he could surely achieve the Golden Core Path. But who would have thought…”
“Heaven and earth have already set up a killing mechanism. All living creatures in the Misthaven Ocean, regardless of whether they are successful or failed, whether they are cultivators or mortals, are already destined to not escape death. ”
“Only that ordinary fisherman, Zhang Haobo, escaped a disaster and happened upon a fortune, becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator.” “It’s truly hard to predict the affairs of the world.”
Li Fan remembered his previous life and felt a myriad of emotions.
He then felt a hint of doubt in his mind.
“As I told Xiao Heng before, if a government wants to surround and kill thieves, it won’t let the thieves know in advance. This world of heavens, earth, and cultivators is exactly like the government and the thieves.”
“So, when Heaven’s Killing Intent is activated, intending to eliminate cultivators, cultivators naturally can’t sense it. This is why when I asked the Tianxuan Mirror if there were any disasters, the Tianxuan Mirror said no. It was just blinded by the will of heaven.”
“Then why did the Wanhua Commercial Association seem to have early detection, ordering all its subordinates to withdraw from the Misthaven
Ocean?”
“And why didn’t they warn the Immortal Alliance, and watched as countless lives were lost?”
“There must be something fishy going on. If there’s a chance in this life, I have to figure it out.”
After careful deliberations, Li Fan made plans for this life.
“The Immortal Cultivation World is incredibly dangerous. Before Void Energy is fully charged, it is better not to step into it rashly.”
“Now I’m cultivating the Xuan Huang Heart-Refining Spell, which greatly accelerates my charging speed. Unlike before where it took twenty years to fully charge, I should be able to reach 100% within ten years.”
“As such, this time around, my arrival in the Immortal Cultivation World should be about a decade earlier than my last life.”
“I remember that during these ten or so years, it seems that something significant happened in the Misthaven Ocean. It’s a perfect chance to plan ahead.”
“And after the Misthaven Ocean dried up in the last life, I saw all those hidden treasures on various islands. If there’s a chance now, I will retrieve them.”
“The Xuan Huang Heart-Refining Spell helped me overcome numerous difficulties in the previous life. This technique is really extraordinary and it seems to hold more secrets. I must practice diligently and not slack off.”
“As for the Crimson Blaze Ocean, whether I choose to escape on my own or disclose it to the public…”
“I can only adjust to the situation at the time…”
In his past life, Li Fan plunged headfirst into the unknown Immortal Cultivation World. He only cultivated to the final stage of energy refining and barely lived 48 years before dying.
But in this life, he believes he can go further by using his foreknowledge..
