Chapter 155 - 155: 144: Lan Yu’s Lost Treasures
Even when it disappeared from sight, its power had only diminished by half. The aftermath was still present, and the lake water took a long time to calm down.
Not far away, Su Xiaomei’s group was left stupefied by Li Fan’s casual sword strike.
They snapped out of the stunned state after a long while.
Su Xiaomei flew to Li Fan’s side, her face filled with excitement as she cried out, “I want to learn this! Master, I want to learn this!”
Xiao Heng’s face still wore a look of shock as he gazed at the split lake in the distance, a glint of aspiration in his eyes.
In Su Changyu, determination was brimming ever more radiant.
Zhao Erbao lowered his head, shaking uncontrollably.
He wailed inwardly, “This is a Golden Core Stage move! That casual strike is something only those at the Golden Core Stage can pull off! Judging by his aloof demeanor, his cultivation might even be higher!”
“We’re doomed, I’ll never be free from his grasp in this lifetime! ”
By the bank of Moon Lake, Li Fan did not pay attention to the noisy Su Xiaomei nearby.
He was adjusting the stormy spiritual energy within him, barely maintaining his composed demeanor.
To control the Ocean Pearl and execute this Mist Blade strike with his Energy Refining Stage cultivation was exceedingly difficult.
‘This power is, after all, not my own. I merely emulated Zhang Haobo’s tactics detailed in the memories within the Ocean Pearl.’
‘Although the sword strike looks intimidating, it wouldn’t be particularly effective in actual combat.’
‘However, with the underlying concepts understood, I can gradually integrate it into my own fighting repertoire, and one day, I’ll be able to use my version of Twenty-eight Mist Blades.’
‘The immediate task should be to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage as soon as possible. I’ve delayed quite a bit waiting for the Ocean Pearl.’
Having made up his mind, Li Fan said to Su Xiaomei and the others, “You all, explore the area around Moon Lake thoroughly. Look for potential problems. Meanwhile, I’ll establish my Cave Mansion here.”
“Yes, Master!”
“Yes, Senior!”
Having just displayed his prowess, Li Fan’s commands were readily obeyed by the group.
Soon, they dispersed to carry out their assigned tasks.
Even the three mortals from the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Treasures joined in.
‘Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng both have extraordinary luck. Combined with the Yin siblings, who possess the Spirit-treasure Body and the ability to avoid ill-fortune, any hidden secrets around Moon Lake should be revealed.’
‘However, as a place for Foundation Establishment, it’s still not safe enough. I need to make another trip to Yuandao Heavenly City..
Perhaps it was because the process of Foundation Establishment required communicating with Heaven and Earth.
Establishing the foundation within the Tianxuan Mirror Space was impossible.
So he needed a safe and secluded place for seclusion. Otherwise, anyone who disturbed him at a critical moment, could likely result in a failure in establishing his foundation.
Just when Li Fan decided to head to Yuandao City’s Tianxuan Mirror to make some purchases.
He faintly noticed a figure haphazardly flying towards him from a distance, followed by six cultivators.
From their energy, it seemed they were all at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Li Fan narrowed his eyes, immediately on high alert.
The man at the front was dressed in blue.
His clothes were ragged and bloody.
As he saw Li Fan, he sped up, all the while yelling, “Senior, save me!”
And the group of people behind him called out loudly when they heard him: “Hey, upfront! Mind your own business!”
Li Fan watched as the man in the blue robe came closer, yet suddenly accelerated and moved awav-
What a joke, a foundation establishment cultivator being chased and asking for help from me, a mere energy refining cultivator.
However, within a split second, Li Fan figured it out.
This blue-robed man must have been attracted by the Mist Blade he had just cast, thinking that there was a powerful cultivator practicing here.
Unfortunately…
Seeing that Li Fan immediately steered clear upon hearing his voice, clearly not wanting to get involved, a look of surprise flickered across the blue-robed man’s face.
He gritted his teeth, looked back at the crowd closing in on him, and fled towards Shilin State.
The group chasing him didn’t bother looking at Li Fan, who had stepped aside; they howled and gave chase.
Seeing that the group was about to disappear from sight, Li Fan had a sudden thought.
The Formless Killing Machine quickly locked onto the man in the blue robe at the front.
Although the blue-robed man was seriously injured, his speed wasn’t slow.
The six people chasing him kept threatening and shouting, but they couldn’t close the distance with the blue-robed man.
Slowly, off in the distance, a Foggy Barrier that spanned heaven and earth appeared in sight.
“Is that the [Foggy Barrier]?” Li Fan was seeing this thing for the first time.
From the Heavenly-Earthly View, this foggy barrier was filled between heaven and earth. It was endless and uninterrupted.
Compared to it, cultivators were as insignificant as ants.
The group of pursuers saw the blue-robed man about to rush into the foggy barrier and couldn’t help getting anxious. They all shouted: “Hu Yanlin, hand over the Lan Yu Relic, and we will spare your life!”
Hu Yanlin responded with a cold laugh, disregarding them and plunging straight into the foggy barrier.
The scene went dark, and the Formless Killing Machine’s lock suddenly failed.
“Lan Yu Relic, huh…” Li Fan pondered.
Li Fan followed their previous trail and waited in front of the foggy barrier for three days.
No one returned.
Li Fan could only shake his head regretfully, firmly engraving the term “Lan Yu Relic” in his mind.
This event was just a small interlude.
After sinking the Tai Yan Boat into Moon Lake, he deployed an array technique to hide its traces.
After explaining everything to Su Xiaomei and the others, Li Fan set off for Yuandao Heavenly City.
After flying for a full twenty-six days, he finally arrived at Yuandao Heavenly City.
Upon entering, Li Fan quickly noticed something unusual.
The city of Yuandao was eerily empty, hardly any cultivators could be seen.
Occasionally seeing one or two, their faces were all excited, and they were rushing off somewhere hurriedly.
Li Fan couldn’t help but become curious, and he stopped one of them and politely asked, “Excuse me, fellow cultivator. Where have all the cultivators in Yuandao City gone? Why is the city so empty?”
The man glanced at Li Fan and replied, “You must be new to Yuandao State, right? Everyone’s gone to watch the competition between the two prodigies of the Lan Yu Sect.”
“The battle has been fierce this time, the two have been fighting for three days and three nights, and still no winner has been declared.”
“I’m about to go and observe, how about you come with me?”
After thinking for a bit, Li Fan gladly agreed.
On the way, this man named Feng Shu, an Energy Refining Cultivator, explained the origins of the two prodigies from the Lan Yu sect to Li Fan.
Seven years ago, as the limit of Immortal Lan Yu was approaching, he laid down the inheritance for his cultivation technique: the “Tiandu
Transformation Technique.”
The Lan Yu Sect honors martial prowess.
The undefeated one alone may obtain the “Tiandu Transformation Technique..”
