Chapter 192 - 192: 178: Joining the Alliance of
The wax-like skin began to slowly dissolve.
It was being gradually absorbed by a strange cultivator within the corpse.
Facing this eerie sight, Zhang Qianmo did not immediately kill him, but watched carefully with interest instead.
A short while later, the shell of Li Chen was completely absorbed by the Xuan
Huang Heart-Refining Spell.
Li Fan’s original appearance was revealed as a result.
With a slight smile directed at Zhang Qianmo, Li Fan bowed respectfully: ‘Greetings, senior brother!”
Zhang Qianmo’s eyes narrowed slightly, the purple lightning mark on his forehead more pronounced than before.
“What are you exactly?”
“A demon? An extraterrestrial devil?”
Li Fan remained calm facing Zhang Qianmo’s questioning, “Senior brother
Zhang, do you no longer recognize me just because I’ve changed skins?” Before he could finish, a streak of blue light brightened between heaven and earth.
The Mist Blade and Sky Flipping Palm were launched successively.
Zhang Qianmo looked shocked.
The long spear moved like a dragon, with roaring purple electricity, clashing with the Mist Blade.
Blue and purple light devoured each other.
But in the end, the purple won by a slight margin.
“Good swordsmanship!” Zhang Qianmo praised.
Next, facing the invisible palm technique falling from the sky, Zhang Qianmo charged forward without dodge or avoidance, throwing a punch towards the sky.
His fist collided with the palm.
A vast energy erupted, centered on where they stood, spreading out explosively.
The shock wave swept across Ningyuan City below, turning the already devastated city, with few mortals surviving, into a complete ruin.
Only the Ethernal Fruit Tree in the middle remained full of life under the protection of the barrier.
Zhang Qianmo didn’t care about the life and death of mortals.
He just looked at Li Fan, his expression solemn.
“Who are you exactly? Why did you sneak into my Violet Firmament Sect? Looking at your sword and palm, it is full of wonders, unlike other minor cultivators.’
Instead of answering, Li Fan asked back, “Senior brother, what is this technique of yours? Clearly, you’re only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, but you can condense the Gold Core in your body. You can even kill an enemy of a higher realm so easily?”
Zhang Qianmo snorted coldly, seeing that Li Fan had no intention of answering, his intent to kill grew stronger.
Thus, he showed no mercy.
His long spear moved freely, and between its opening and closing, purple thunderbolts descended from the sky to aid in repelling the enemy.
This was the first time Li Fan met an opponent who was evenly matched.
He moved swiftly and used his Ocean Command Rapier to form a sword array that blocked the dragon-like spear.
Between attacks and dodges, he intermittently released the Mist Blade and the Sky Flipping Palm.
But because he rarely engaged in combat, he only had a limited number of moves.
On the other hand, Zhang Qianmo was constantly showcasing a variety of techniques.
The body that was born from the Gold Core seemed to be immune to all methods.
Even when Li Fan’s attacks occasionally landed on his body, they only left minor wounds.
Which recovered in the blink of an eye.
On the contrary, as the purple thunder kept bombarding him, the Divine
Consciousness Incarnation of Li Fan became more and more heavily injured.
With the low whispering in his ears, his focus was also slightly affected.
After more than twenty rounds, this incarnation of Li Fan was eventually split into two by Zhang Qianmo’s lance.
There was no scene of blood spewing everywhere, only the body turning into countless particles, disappearing in the wind.
“This person’s techniques are profound, his sword and palm are full of infinite mysteries, he must be from a major sect. But his actual combat skills were ordinary, even somewhat abnormally weak.”
“It’s strange.”
Zhang Qianmo shook his head, full of confusion.
Inside the Tianxuan Mirror.
Li Fan slowly regained consciousness.
Li Fan didn’t feel the weakness mentioned by Chen Ying. Instead, he felt a small increase in his divine consciousness.
Recalling his experiences in the Fallen Immortal Realm, Li Fan pondered. “It must be due to the Xuan Huang Heart-Refining spell.”
“I just wonder why the Xuan Huang Heart-Refining Spell has such an effect in the Fallen Immortal Realm.’
“Usually, after one dies in their original identity, they would directly return to the real world.’
“But I will consume and restructure my divine consciousness, forming a new incarnation. It’s as if I have two lives in the Fallen Immortal Realm.”
“I wonder if anyone else can do the same as me.”
“The first exploration has resulted in no gains, but my consciousness has been enhanced.”
Somewhat delighted, Li Fan, who didn’t feel any fatigue, immediately prepared for another ritual.
He wanted to see if he could return to the Fallen Immortal Realm.
Unfortunately, he didn’t receive any response.
Li Fan had to reluctantly give up.
“According to Chen Ying, it usually takes three months to half a year to enter again. It’s a pity.”
“If I could enter without limits…”
He shook his head, putting aside this unrealistic thought.
He checked the time.
It had been less than half a day since his entrance to the Fallen Immortal Realm.
“This time in the Fallen Immortal realm, I saw the Immortal Cultivation World before the Great Calamity, when the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma hadn’t appeared yet.”
“It also revealed my current problems. Even though I have divine techniques, I lack in actual combat.”
“Without prior array ambush, I can still battle an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator. But if a true genius appears, I’d be in a pinch.”
“However, instead of calling it my problem, it’s more accurate to say it’s the difference between two eras.”
“In Chen Ying’s era, disciples of sects could study all kinds of techniques and secret techniques freely without any restrictions. They could easily find peers for practice matches.”
“But now, it’s difficult to exchange techniques. For any slightly powerful technique, besides comprehending it on one’s own, it needs to be exchanged by working for the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals with merit points and contribution points. ”
“Also, it’s quite hard to find someone to spar with in this era.”
“In the Tianxuan Mirror, various scenarios can be simulated. But there is none where you can fight against a person. This must be a way for the Immortal Alliance to limit the power of ordinary cultivators.”
“However, with the Fallen Immortal Realm, I can improve my actual combat skills within.”
“Of course, improving my realm is more important.”
Li Fan checked his contribution points, over thirty-seven thousand.
It’s enough for cultivation at the Enlightenment State for a while.
“First, cultivate up to the Perfect Stage Foundation Establishment.”
So, Li Fan took out the Exquisite Liuli Bead and began to cultivate in seclusion.
Time passed. He didn’t know how long it had been.
Li Fan was awakened by a message from a communication talisman.
Checking it, it was He Zhenghao’s communication talisman.
Without checking it immediately, Li Fan first examined the result of this closed-door cultivation.
After nearly two months of assisted cultivation, half of his contribution points were spent.
And what he gained…
Li Fan sighed.
It was equal to three years of hard cultivation in the normal state.
However, he was still far from the Perfect Stage Foundation Establishment.
But Li Fan knew he couldn’t rush it.
In the Foundation Establishment Stage and beyond, an ordinary cultivator needs decades to break through each small realm.
“I still need ‘The Mountain-Seating Secret’!”
Li Fan sighed inwardly and began to watch He Zhenghao’s message. “Friend Li Fan! Good news, it worked!”
“After my dedicated efforts and persuasion, I got you the position of Array
Repair Staff from Zhang Zhiliang!”
