Chapter 172 - 172: 160: Fate is Predestined
Cultivation, there’s simply too much risk involved in practicing it openly.”
“This time, I was lucky to escape with my life.”
“Next time, I may not be so fortunate.”
Li Fan sighed, then recalled the look of fear on the face of the black-clothed Integrative Cultivator.
“Devouring Origin Rebirth, evidently aiming for eternal life?”
“It’s unexpected that the mastermind behind Dao Origin State’s unrest is actually Immortal Lan Yu, who’s supposedly deceased.”
“Is he trying to reverse the Principle of Life and Death?”
Even though the specifics of Immortal Lan Yu’s plans remain unknown, anyone could infer his dreadful intentions from the brief information disclosed by the black-clothed cultivator.
The naked truth is: countless lives of cultivators in Dao Origin State are sacrificial casualties, merely to aid him in reaching the realm of immortality.
These cultivators—who met their end—were none other than Immortal Lan Yu’s subordinates and kin.
“I wonder if Lan Yu’s plan can still succeed, now that the black-clothed cultivator has discovered it. Regardless, Dao Origin State is no longer a place for long-term stay. I must leave as soon as possible.”
Before this, Su Xiaomei and the rest had already agreed. Everyone, to scatter and then to regroup in Shilin State.
In these seven years, with abundant contributions.
The weakest among them, the Yin sisters, have advanced to the Final Stage of Energy Refining, equipped with several defensive Magic tools as well.
With enough caution along the way, they should be able to ensure their safety.
Li Fan looked around. He had been teleported into a dense forest, his exact location unknown.
He attempted to use the Communication Talisman to contact others from Moon Palace, but all endeavors proved futile.
After some thought, Li Fan decided to first find a populated area and determine his current location.
He selected a direction, concealed his presence, and sped off.
However, halfway through his journey, Li Fan abruptly stopped.
His face filled with confusion and uncertainty.
“What’s happening? Why is the unease in my heart not just lingering but growing increasingly intense?”
“Is that black-clothed Integrational cultivator still intent on hunting me down?”
“Such hatred, such resentment?”
“Wait, this feeling… it doesn’t resemble the despair and helplessness I felt when confronting an Integrational Immortal Monarch.”
“The source of danger… could it be someone else?”
“What on earth is going on?”
His experiences in this lifetime rapidly played in his spirit consciousness, but Li Fan couldn’t figure out the root of this impending, deadly threat.
Li Fan stopped, then drew a necklace embedded with a random Teleportation Array from his Storage Ring.
After activating it, his surroundings began to distort.
Before he could make sense of his environment, Li Fan pulled out yet another necklace.
After repeating this five times, he couldn’t tell how far he’d teleported.
A slightly dizzy Li Fan finally caught a breather.
The anxious premonition in his heart began to subside, appearing to have temporarily escaped his unknown enemy.
Looking around, Li Fan realized that he was currently above a vast plain.
In the distant horizon, a continuous range of mountains was faintly discernible.
A city was not too far off. After inquiring, Li Fan found out that he was already at the border of Shilin State and Jiushan Province.
This city was known as Luo Fan City, a distant small town without any cultivators guarding it.
However, further north of Luo Fan City, a larger city called Rong Hua City resided.
Cultivators would definitely be guarding it.
For his own safety, Li Fan decided to lie low in Rock Adjoining Sky City through the Teleportation Array in Rong Hua City, until the source of this baffling crisis was determined.
Li Fan wasted no more time and swiftly took flight towards Rong Hua City.
However, half-way through his journey, Li Fan suddenly stopped again.
Because the source of the impending danger had reappeared.
Moreover, it seemed even more immediate than before.
As if it had emerged out of thin air, right in his ongoing path. “They’ve arrived at Rong Hua City through the Teleportation Array?”
“Can my enemy actually keep my location locked on at all times?”
After some consideration, Li Fan didn’t choose to leap into action right away.
Instead, he descended and began to set up an Array with a series of materials from his Storage Ring.
“Judging by the fact that they require a Teleportation Array, they shouldn’t possess Unity-Path cultivation level.”
“And there’s also a chance of resisting momentarily if it’s a God Transforming cultivator.”
“At the very least, I must understand why they’re hunting me.”
“Otherwise, even if I start over, I’ll encounter this tribulation again in my next life.”
Once he gave up on fleeing, Li Fan’s heart began to steady.
Array after Array was subsequently set up.
[Divine Shocking Explosive Array].
Temporarily enhancing the power of his own Taoist Techniques by one level.
[Confounding Spirit Absolute Array].
Disrupting the flow of the opponent’s Spiritual Energy and reducing their actual powers to some extent.
[Five Elements Sword Qi]
Reversing the Spiritual Energy into the Power of Five Elements, transforming it into Sword Energy to injure the enemy.
[Soul Shaking Spirit Snatching]
Relying on an Exotic Beast skeleton, it initiates a Spirit consciousness shock.
[Duplication Technique]
After the Array Technique is activated, it remembers the current move and then replicates this move.
In the end, Li Fan gathered the remaining Devouring Origin White Fog in one place.
He also put hundreds of [Bursting Talisman Commandments] next to it.
Each [Bursting Talisman Commandment] can be equivalent to the full strike of
Level of Defense.
Although its power is not too strong, he has a large quantity of them.
Put the white fog and talisman records together in a separate Storage Ring.
He prepared to give this unknown enemy a surprise.
“It’s a pity that my current proficiency in Array Techniques is not enough to make an Array Crown, otherwise it wouldn’t be so troublesome.”
“In the Immortal Cultivation World, below Integration cultivator, those who can kill enemies across one big realm are considered geniuses.”
“Those capable of killing across two large realms are rare in ancient times, and are known as peerless geniuses.”
“With the help of the array techniques, I am barely half at the Golden Core Realm level.
“But I don’t know how long I can hold on under this God Transforming Immortal Monarch.’
Once the preparations were ready, Li Fan closed his eyes in contemplation, strictly awaiting the enemy.
Soon afterwards, a fiery red light streaked across the sky and arrived in the blink of an eye.
It hung in an instant over Li’s head.
This person was muscular, with red hair like fire, an unshaven face. He looked down at Li Fan below, his voice booming like thunder.
“You can run quite fast?!”
“Hand over the Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldron, and I’ll spare your life!”
Rolling sounds lingered in Li Fan’s ears.
Li Fan’s eyes narrowed, dozens of thoughts flashing through his mind in the blink of an eye.
“The Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldron?” “So, he chased me across several provinces for this?”
“Could it be an extraordinary treasure?”
“I bought these two small cauldrons from Jiao Xiuyuan about thirty-seven years ago.”
“These two small cauldrons have no practical use, and have been kept in the corner of my Storage Ring, I had almost forgotten about them.”
“If they do have some special value, why did it take so long to attract assassins?”
Former scenes quickly flashed through Li Fan’s mind.
“It is said that after the Immortal Law Transmission, and before the Great
Calamity arrived, the sect master of the Medicine King Sect at the time, Liu Ruchen, had a vague premonition that a major change would come to the
Heaven and Earth.”
“Therefore, Liu Ruchen, with extremely tough attitudes, led the entire Medicine King Sect, used the Medicine King Cauldron as a vessel, opened a void, and left the boundary.”
Jiao Xiuyuan spoke eloquently.
Fast forward 15 years.
A Fire Meteor illuminated the sky, breaking through the night sky.
Its whereabouts unknown.
However, all cultivators who saw this meteor, felt an uncontrollable fear in their hearts.
“Goodness, do you know where that meteor fell? Into the Abyss of the Verdant Wutong!”
“That ghost place, bottomless, it’s no wonder that no one found it over so many years.”
Fast forward 41 years, the star fell back into Cangwu State.
Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi wanted to go there to seek opportunities.
“The last time, we ran all the way to Cangvvu State with great difficulty. As soon as we arrived, news came that the comet had already been found.” “We didn’t even get to see what it looked like, and had to return defeated.”
Kou Hong complained bitterly.
Li Fan suddenly understood.
“Could it be that the fire meteor was the Medicine King Cauldron of the Medicine King sect?”
“The Medicine King Cauldron that left the realm before the Great Calamity, has now inexplicably returned to the Xuanhuang World.”
“And the thirty-six Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldrons that nobody wanted initially, for some unknown reason, turned out to be the treasures everyone seeks.”
“So the life-threatening disaster is supposed to be here!”
