BXBX NOVEL Chapter 100 - 100: 95: Life-and-Death Chain Lock
Chapter 100 - 100: 95: Life-and-Death Chain Lock
In his previous life, he was a mortal, yet he was faintly aware of the impending crisis of the Seaflame, and fled far away before the disaster arrived.
Not only that, but he also seemed to have encountered something extraordinary on a distant continent.
In just over twenty years, he managed to jump from being a mortal to becoming a powerful Foundation Establishment cultivator.
In this life, with the techniques provided by Li Fan, I believe he can grow at a faster speed.
Only then would he be qualified to participate in promoting the major event of the Crimson Blaze Ocean.
The seed has now been sown and it is slowly growing into a towering tree.
Of course, during its growth process, it was inevitable to do some pruning.
Looking at Zhang Haobo, who fell into a deep sleep after his drastic change of heart, Li Fan rose up into the air, preparing to return to Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
Under the night sky, most of the residents of Liuli Island were already deep in sleep, and the island was shrouded in darkness.
Only one residence was still brightly lit, but the yard was filled with white mourning flags.
Li Fan had visited that residence before, it was the residence of Manager Zhao who was in charge of Liuli Island’s finances.
So Li Fan casually scanned it with his divine consciousness.
His figure paused suddenly in mid-air, and a hint of surprise flashed in Li Fan’s eyes.
He landed in Manager Zhao’s courtyard and walked into the memorial hall.
Manager Zhao was sitting in mourning clothes, kneeling in front of the spirit tablet.
Li Fan looked at the words on the spirit tablet, lost in thought.
“In memory of the departed Immortal Master He Zhenghao”.
He Zhenghao…
Is he dead?
Li Fan was not so much shocked as he was extremely puzzled.
It is said that one cannot step into the same river twice.
But with the Reincarnation, Li Fan could repeatedly step into the same river countless times.
His trivial actions might splash the water in the river but could not change the flow of the river.
The death of He Zhenghao was beyond Li Fan’s expectation.
“How did Daoist He die?” Li Fan couldn’t help asking.
Manager Zhao was startled, but immediately turned around and respectfully replied, “It is said that Master He met with an unfortunate accident while exploring a cave mansion, encountering a deadly trap.”
“It’s been fifty-six days already.”
Li Fan couldn’t help but recall He Zhenghao’s message at that time.
“A few friends of mine have recently discovered an ancient cave mansion and invited me to explore it with them. They say that this cave mansion was sealed off before the Great Calamity, and there must be many rare treasures inside, and it’s not impossible that there may even be some cultivation techniques.” He znengnao wantea to explore tne cave mansion ana asked Ll Fan to nelP guard Liuli Island.
Li Fan did not agree because he wanted to plot “The Cloud and Water Scroll”. He didn’t think much of it at the time, assuming that He Zhenghao would definitely return safely.
After all, the last time Li Fan met He Zhenghao in his previous life was more than ten years later, and he was alive and well then.
Unexpectedly, he died directly this time.
“So, in his previous life, He Zhenghao did not participate in the exploration of this cave mansion.”
“The reason for the change was because…”
“He exhausted the contribution points he had accumulated for half his life all at once. In order to switch to a Nascent Soul technique, he was prepared to take a risk.”
“The reason he lost all his possessions was because the island producing the Spirit Mist Grass was destroyed by the Exotic Dragon Whale, letting him believe he had a chance to make a fortune.”
“In his previous life, this incident should not have occurred.”
“And what was the reason that led to the attack by the exotic beast?”
A picture suddenly flashed in Li Fan’s mind.
Inside the belly of the Dragon Whale, he had found many Liuli beads that had not been fully digested.
The Liuli Bead is the main ingredient for refining the Liuli Pill. After taking the Liuli Pill, it can produce an effect similar to enlightenment.
“Liuli can bring about enlightenment…”
This exotic dragon whale, because of devouring a large amount of Liuli Beads, gradually developed spiritual wisdom.
By a stroke of fate, it stumbled upon an island where Spirit Mist Grass was grown.
The Spirit Mist Grass must have some kind of benefit to it, so the dragon whale aggressively launched an attack, consuming most of the Spirit Mist Grass on the island.
The reason it was able to devour such a large amount of Liuli Beads is because…
Li Fan narrowed his eyes.
In his past life, when he had incarnated into the vast ocean, he had seen the colossal skeletal remains of a Liuli Fish.
Within the skeleton, a giant Luli Treasure Pearl glowed in the sunlight.
Therefore, in this life, when he passed by, he casually slaughtered the leader of the Liuli Fish.
With the loss of their leader, the Liuli Fish school was like a dragon without a head.
They were inevitably devoured by the dragon whale without putting up any resistance.
In the blink of an eye, Li Fan, who understood the full story, was completely dumbstruck.
So, was it his unintentional act that had led to He Zhenghao’s death?
Even more so, it wasn’t just He Zhenghao alone.
How many more people had lost everything in the manipulation of the price of Spirit Mist Grass?
And had to resort to desperate measures, meeting an untimely death as a result?
The sequence of events that led to all these happened simply because Li Fan killed a giant Liuli Fish.
The death of the Liuli Fish leader led to the inability of the Liuli Fish school to guard against the predations of other creatures.
This dragon whale, with some luck, destroyed all the Spirit Mist Grass on an island.
People took advantage of the destruction of the Spirit Mist Grass, leading to countless people going bankrupt.
The ultimate result was several Foundation Establishment Cultivators meeting an early death.
Each of these events, like interlocking chains.
Initially locking lightly, then one link after another, tightening more and more.
Until in the end, once the deadly chain is formed, it’s hard to ever break free!
“Turns out, it’s so simple to kill even a Foundation Establishment Cultivar.
Turns out this is the correct way to use the Killing Intent of Heaven and Earth.” “The Formless Killing Machine seems to be a bit crude.”
Li Fan could not help but be overwhelmed by waves of emotion, thousands of thoughts rushing through his mind.
Inside the TianXuan Mirror, Lin Fan, who was engrossed in various secrets, suddenly changed his expression.
He quickly initiated the supplementary cultivation mode, understanding insights under the enhancement of enlightenment.
“Killing people doesn’t necessarily mean doing it with my own hands. With foreknowledge, I can arrange things over time and space like what happened with He Zhenghao.”
“Killing a person thousands of miles away, years earlier.”
It’s hard to know a mountain when you’re on it.
If not for the unexpected death of He Zhenghao, Li Fan might have taken much longer to understand this move, Chain of life and death.
“Daoist He, you have died well!”
With this thought, Li Fan sincerely offered a stick of incense at He Zhenghao’s spirit tablet.
“You may go, in your next life, I will not treat you unfairly.”
Li Fan muttered to himself.
He stood there for a while, waiting for the incense to burn out almost completely before turning to leave.
Just then, he heard Manager Zhao suddenly call out.
“Immortal Teacher, please wait!”
