Chapter 110 - 110: 105: Heaven and Earth have Longevity
Li Fan whispered slowly, leaving the second half of the sentence unspoken, only muttering it in his heart.
“To achieve immortality!”
Ever since he stepped into the Immortal Cultivation World, Li Fan had seen Nascent Soul Stage cultivators fighting by lifting mountains, and also witnessed the Crimson Blaze Ocean of those in the Unity Realm.
But none of these experiences were as shocking as the moment when he glimpsed an inkling of the Immortal Sovereign’s power from numerous signs that defied common sense.
This kind of formless and unnoticeable power, which subtly influenced and changed all cultivators in the world, was far more formidable than mere destruction.
“I was only unaffected by this power because the Crimson Blaze Ocean in my memory, a catastrophe, belongs to the future and has yet to occur.”
“That’s why I was able to notice the influence exerted by this Immortal
Sovereign on the world by comparing the before and after effects.”
After a long time, Li Fan slowly banished the fear that had surfaced due to the sudden realization that he had been living under the shadow of a colossal figure.
In the Immortal Cultivation World, Golden Core Stage cultivators are generally referred to as True Men, Nascent Soul Stage cultivators as True Lords, God Transforming Stage cultivators as Immortal Monarchs, and Dao Fusion Stage cultivators as Immortal Sovereigns.
Lastly, the most formidable beings are referred to as Immortal Sovereigns.
Most of the Immortal Sovereigns in the world are elusive, appearing sporadically.
Even the exact number of these entities and their corresponding names are difficult for common cultivators to ascertain.
“Under the influence of this Immortal Sovereign, all cultivators in the world will gradually forget the calamities that have occurred in the past. Or, it seems that any collective memory that brings pain is under his power.”
“It looks like this Immortal Cultivation World is indeed a paradise free of worries…”
Li Fan analyzed slowly in his heart, gaining some new insights.
In this world, the hostility from Heaven and Earth towards cultivators is great, and the disputes between immortals are sharp.
However, the cultivators he encountered, such as Kou Hong, Dao Xuanzi, He Zhenghao, Yu Wenxing, and others…
Few of them showed deep-rooted resentment, and none exhibited the inclination to destroy the world at a moment’s whim.
They all deliberately or unwittingly ignored the malevolence of Heaven and Earth.
At most, they would lament the hardship of the Immortal Way, and some would even be cheerful all the time…
This could very well be the doing of that Immortal Sovereign.
Is it for the better cultivation of all cultivators in the world?
Or is there some other motive?
Li Fan has always speculated about others with the worst intentions.
Immortality is Li Fan’s ultimate pursuit through constant reincarnation.
But at this moment, Li Fan still has a long way to go to reach his goal.
Staying grounded, cultivating step by step is what he needs to do at present.
Recovering from the shock caused by the Immortal Sovereign, Li Fan began to search for information about the ancient Body Transformation Dao.
It’s not a secret and he found the relevant information with ease.
Body Transformation Dao is not a sect that specializes in the art of mechanisms.
Rather, every disciple in the sect practices a special technique: the Self- Sublimating Technique.
This technique allows one to attach one’s spirit and consciousness to external entities.
After projecting oneself onto these entities, one can not only manipulate them but also fully synchronize with their perceptions.
If practiced to the highest level, one can even abandon their own body and transform on the spot into the projected entity.
The ease with which he found related information was not because the technique of Body Transformation Dao was particularly powerful.
But rather because…
In the Tianxuan Mirror, there truly were numerous intricate pieces of text describing male and female cultivators using the Body Transformation Dao, projecting themselves onto various rare and unique entities, and executing the acts of Yin and Yang union.
The variety of techniques amazed even Li Fan.
After browsing through the information, Li Fan shook his head and closed the text.
“It seems, that Tianyang True Man, before his dying breath, buried the puppet in the seabed flame vein and set the array. Finally, he projected his consciousness onto the body of the puppet.”
“After thousands of years, the puppet absorbed terrestrial energy day and night to grow. Meanwhile, Tianyang True Man, originally a Golden Core stage cultivator who had reached his limit, transformed into a powerful entity capable of contending with a God Transforming Immortal Monarch.”
“Althouzh it seems that he has lost his divine knowledge now and can onlv act on instinct.”
“He probably doesn’t regret it. ” “Tianyang’s life, was not inferior to anyone else’s.”
“In the end, he did fulfill this phrase.”
After the sentiments, Li Fan began his cultivation process in seclusion.
Having witnessed the battle of the God Transformation Stage cultivator, he had his insights.
Presumably, it won’t be long before he can reach the cultivation bottleneck.
As he predicted, in the span of five days, Li Fan felt that the spiritual energy within his body had reached full capacity.
“The Golden Seal of the Jade Realm of a Thousand Mechanisms” and “The Secret of Swapping Day and Night” had also been cultivated to the Late Foundation Establishment Perfection.
And could progress no further.
However, to Li Fan’s delight…
As soon as he reached the bottleneck, he intuitively sensed the path for an opportunity.
And what’s more, the upcoming journey would undoubtably be full of surprises without dangers, turning calamities into blessings.
After making some preparations, Li Fan immediately prepared to set out on the journey.
Just before his departure, a profound insight surged into his spirit consciousness.
It turned out that Lin Fan, his doppelgänger who had been in seclusion for a long time, had finally come out of isolation.
Receiving good news from all sides really let Li Fan experience a feeling of timely help from heaven.
After calming his emotions, Li Fan carefully comprehended the divine technique that his doppelgänger had comprehended this time.
All the things in the world are interconnected.
They are linked in a cyclical fashion, from birth to death.
The Life and Death Cycle comprehended by Li Fan is, in a way, an upgraded version of the Formless Killing Machine.
If there is a predetermined person for the “death” target, it will be possible to trace back along the path, sensing the weakest and most fatal “life” link from countless connections.
By eradicating this lifeline, the predetermined target can be subtly killed.
The Formless Killing Machine requires targeting the opponent.
And cannot exceed Li Fan’s abilities by too much, or he will suffer a backlash.
It also risks the opponent’s perception.
The Life and Death Cycle, however, only needs to know that the opponent exists.
And can ignore the gap between their realms almost completely.
Given enough information, even a cultivator at the Refining Energy stage can kill a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
Take the Tianyang Cave Mansion as an example.
If Li Fan wants to kill a True Lord of Nascent Soul, he doesn’t need to take action himself. Just by initiating the Life and Death Cycle, he can trace back the possibilities of the True Lord’s connection with the Tianyang Cave Mansion.
From there, he can find the most suitable possibility.
Promote the idea of that True Lord exploring the Tianyang Cave Mansion secretly.
That True Lord of Nascent Soul would then perish in the Tianyang Cave Mansion.
Although the Life and Death Cycle is strong, it requires certain conditions to initiate.
That is, the “death” link must be determined first.
That is to say, you have to determine how the other party is going to die before you can trace it back.
And this “method of death” must be feasible.
For example, Li Fan sets that the True Lord of Nascent Soul will accidentally suffer a turbulence of spiritual energy during the flight, lose control and fall from the sky, and die directly.
This is indeed a possibility.
However, to achieve this result, the complexity of the reverse derivation required is beyond Li Fan’s ability.
Therefore, the Life and Death Cycle can’t be initiated..
