Chapter 106: Li Fan's Sudden Enlightenment
🕑 Added 2023-11-01 15:01:10 +0000 UTCHowever, if it is set reasonably, say, the Nascent Soul True Lord was on a flight and encountered an enemy on the way. After a fierce battle, he was defeated and died.
In this way, after activating the Life and Death Chain, it would be possible to trace the conditions under which these two enemies met. Although it might take a long time for calculations, it would eventually succeed.
In summary, the more abundant the information, especially about the "death" link, the easier it would be to activate the Life and Death Chain. And Li Fan was fortunate enough to fully utilize the advantage of foresight through [Truth].
Therefore, transcending the Qi Condensation stage to kill Nascent Soul True Lords would become a feasible task. For example, Li Fan could lure a targeted Nascent Soul True Lord into the Cong Yun Sea during the burning of the sea. By harnessing the power of the Crimson Flame, he could assassinate the Nascent Soul True Lord.
"Identify the cause and effect, and kill without a trace." Li Fan couldn't help but exclaim, "What a fantastic ability."
What surprised Li Fan even more was that, besides the "Life and Death Chain," his doppelganger had also experienced another revelation, the "Heavenly Sight, Earthly Hearing" technique, which incorporated various insights Li Fan had about Qi and destiny, elevating the Life and Death Chain to a whole new level.
The fate of all things was under the watchful eye of heaven and earth. By observing the intertwining of Qi fluctuations and fate, one could perceive them from the perspective of heaven and earth.
In simpler terms, while the previous Formless Killing Intent could only vaguely lock onto the target's position, now, after comprehending the "Vision of Heaven and Earth," one could observe the target through the perspective of heaven and earth.
After figuring out the function of the Vision of Heaven and Earth, Li Fan was really overjoyed this time.
Even with his state of mind, he could not help but be secretly excited.
The surprises came one after another, even causing Li Fan to be a bit terrified. He experimented with the "Vision of Heaven and Earth" technique. His mind settled down, sensing the Formless Killing Intent that was locked onto Zhang Haobo.
A picture appeared in Li Fan's mind.
On top of the blue waves, Zhang Haobo stood in the void.
Twenty-four increasingly blue water swords were flying around him, forming some sort of arcane formation.
Like the stars of the circumference, they were constantly moving.
Water dragons were born in the water sword formation as it transformed.
Zhang Haobo pointed towards the sea in front of him, and the water dragons in the formation then flew out, dancing wildly in the sky.
"Explode!"
Zhang Haobo gave a low shout, and the group of water dragons exploded.
Each of the water dragons disintegrated into countless tiny water swords.
In an instant, the water swords were like a raging wind and rain, blasting into a large area in front of Zhang Haobo.
The surface of the sea was suddenly startled by countless water columns, which was spectacular.
And Zhang Haobo was tireless as the stars of blue light flew into his body.
He began to test the move once again.
...
Li Fan was almost mesmerized as he watched.
Because, with the perspective of heaven and earth, he saw more than just the scene on the surface.
The route of the aura in Zhang Haobo's body, the flow of the aura in each move, and even the method of operation of this strengthened version of the Water Dragon Breathing Formation were all unreservedly and clearly displayed in front of him.
Although there was still a considerable gap between watching and mastering, seeing so much would surely lead to understanding! In the blink of an eye, a flash of enlightenment pierced Li Fan's mind.
In the midst of his excitement, he exited the state of "Vision of Heaven and Earth" and stood up. He couldn't help but shout, "Today, I finally understand my path!"
What was Li Fan's path? Since the beginning of his cultivation, there had always been a question lingering in his mind. His innate talent was not great, and even expelling the miasma and condensing Qi was quite challenging. The later stages, such as Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and even the path to Nascent Soul and beyond would certainly become increasingly perilous.
In the world, geniuses were abundant, some possessing astonishing comprehension abilities. They could easily comprehend various techniques and divine abilities.
Li Fan had wondered what he could use to compete with those exceptional individuals. If one day the gap between the two realms became too vast, even if he restarted endlessly, he might never breakthrough. What would he do then? Today, Li Fan had finally found his answer.
A unique path that belonged to him alone, impossible for others to replicate.
[Truth], "Mountain Meditation Technique," "Vision of Heaven and Earth."
"No matter how high their innate talent is, they are always under my gaze. Their lifetime of understanding belongs to me."
Li Fan gradually calmed his emotions and sat back down, speaking softly, "Even though there are many heroes in the world, they must all end up under my command."
Heroes were like carp swimming across a river, emerging year after year. Li Fan's path was to select the most outstanding among them. Gathering the best of the talented individuals and using them as pawns, he would derive extraordinary techniques from them.
He would gather the strengths of thousands and innovate further, forging his unique path. "The path is now established; the next step is to see how to arrange it."
Li Fan stated his path. At the same time, his doppelganger, Fan Lin, felt elated. Another wave of insight was transmitted, but it wasn't about a divine ability; it was information perceived during the enlightenment.
Through this enlightenment, Fan Lin understood that the previous cultivation world that existed before the Great Calamity had placed immense importance on enlightenment. Ancient cultivation emphasized comprehending the ways of the heavens. Some mortals could have sudden insights, advancing from Qi Condensation to Foundation Establishment in a single day, reaching Golden Core in three days, and forming the Nascent Soul in five days. There were even cases of people meditating for a hundred years, having a sudden revelation, and ascending to immortality in one step.
However, such individuals were exceedingly rare, with only a handful throughout the history of cultivation. Most people would use enlightenment to improve slightly within a lower realm or gain insight into certain divine abilities.
Nowadays, very few can achieve enlightenment.
"Peering into the laws of heaven and earth, seizing the essence of heaven and earth, and extracting the marrow of heaven and earth... If heaven doesn't give it to me, I'll take it myself."
"The Dao of enlightenment, the Dao of plundering heaven... but what is my Dao..." Li Fan muttered.
...
After comprehending these two divine abilities, Li Fan spent half a month consolidating his insights within the Tianxuan Mirror. Afterward, he decided to set off in search of an opportunity to breakthrough the bottleneck.
After comparing the location in his mind with the Cong Yun Sea's map, he realized that the place he had to go to this time was a peculiar island called Yin Yin Island. The island earned its strange name because it was devoid of ordinary people. Instead, it was inhabited solely by a cultivator known as Master Yin Yin.
Master Yin Yin's cultivation level was not high; he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. However, he wasn't very interested in cultivation and preferred to study various eccentric things. Among the objects of his research, the most famous was the "Immortal-Mortal Miasma."
The experiment which involved extracting the Immortal-Mortal Miasma from Su Changyu's body and led to his death was his work. Due to this, many cultivators didn't hold him in high regard and preferred not to associate with him. So, he moved to a remote small island, where he could enjoy the peace and quiet.
How could the opportunity for his breakthrough be related to this person? Li Fan was somewhat curious and immediately set out for Yin Yin Island.

Interesting. How will he get the Mountain Meditation Technique will be kill the original user every time he restarts or give him a different technique to replace his?
