...
As Li Fan regained consciousness, he was still somewhat speechless. The previous life was the shortest one he had experienced.
It was forcibly ended after just nine years.
Originally, he had ambitious plans and various strategies.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the cultivation world, he was inexplicably targeted and hunted down.
What was even more absurd was that the pursuer was a member of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
He didn't know the identity of the other party, yet he still wanted to seek refuge with He Zhenghao on Liuli Island.
As a result, he ended up being surrounded by two Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The opponent came from a thousand miles away with a clear target: to kill Li Fan.
Li Fan didn't believe that the other party would reveal the reason for hunting him down if he asked.
And facing two Foundation Establishment cultivators, he had no chance of survival.
So he decisively chose to start over.
...
Why would a member of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance hunt him down?
And shortly after he had just entered the cultivation world?
Li Fan furrowed his brows, deep in thought and perplexed.
Without resolving this issue, all his future plans would just be empty talk.
The Cong Yun Sea was currently under the control of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, and they could clearly lock onto his position through some means.
Where did things go wrong?
Could it be because he brought back Qian Hong's remains to the cultivation world? Or perhaps...
Li Fan carefully examined and eliminated each item he possessed.
In the end, he pinpointed the target.
"Minor Yan Water Technique."
Li Fan thought it over and found that this cultivation technique had the highest suspicion.
After all, he currently had no connection whatsoever with the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Only this cultivation technique was inherited from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance in his previous life.
Li Fan narrowed his eyes and pondered for a while, and he already had an answer in his heart.
"The 'Minor Yan Water Technique' and all other cultivation techniques must be under constant surveillance by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. If they suddenly discover that a certain technique has not been exchanged and the number of cultivators practicing it has increased by one, they will know that the technique has been leaked."
"No matter how it is leaked, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance will definitely reclaim the technique. As for the method of reclamation, it's simply to kill."
"Why can they directly lock onto my location..."
"Cultivators who practice the same technique can sense each other and perceive each other's positions."
"To reclaim a Qi refining stage technique, they actually dispatched Foundation Establishment cultivators. Judging from the way he spoke to He Zhenghao, I'm afraid his cultivation level is higher than He Zhenghao's. At the very least, he is in the mid Foundation Establishment stage, or possibly the late Foundation Establishment stage."
He could imagine the scene.
In the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, thousands of pieces of information about cultivation techniques were arranged in order, densely packed like a high wall.
And in front of the high wall, a pair of eyes were staring intently.
Every change in these cultivation techniques was captured by these eyes.
Once the number of cultivators practicing a certain technique suddenly changed from someone to zero, or if a technique that was originally not being practiced suddenly had someone practicing it without being exchanged, The owner of these eyes would calmly make arrangements.
"Guardian, guardian..."
"So this is the role of a guardian!"
Li Fan clapped and praised.
Looking at the options that still appeared vividly before his eyes, Li Fan calmed down and chose to retain the cultivation level he had in his previous life.
In the blink of an eye, he returned to the Qi Condensation stage.
After that, Li Fan didn't hesitate at all. He operated the 'Tai Shang Primordial Scripture' and converted the cultivation level of the 'Minor Yan Water Technique' from Qi Condensation stage into pure energy.
After that, he did exactly what he had done in his previous life.
After 9 years, Li Fan returned to the cultivation world.
Passing through the Immortal Extinction Array, Li Fan waited in place for a while.
Sure enough, his guess was correct.
Without cultivating the "Minor Yan Water Technique," he didn't attract the pursuit of the Guardian from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Only then did Li Fan slowly head towards Liuli Island.
When flying near the sea area of Liuli Island, a certain scene from Li Fan's memory suddenly flashed.
He immediately stopped and looked below.
His gaze pierced through the barrier of seawater, reaching the depths of the sea.
There, groups of Liuli Fish were dragging the bodies of mortals they had found from various parts of the ocean, which had fallen for various reasons, and offering them to a giant golden Liuli Fish.
This golden Liuli fish swayed its bloated body, one by one, consuming the human bodies collected by its subordinates.
After chewing and spitting out the broken bones, it revealed a somewhat dissatisfied expression.
It greedily looked at the sea surface.
It seemed that there were more, fresher mortals there.
...
Li Fan looked at this scene and snorted.
The formless killing intent acted accordingly.
...
Beneath the deep sea, the Liuli Fish that were originally crowded around the leader, diligently offering food, suddenly froze.
The golden Liuli Fish was a little dissatisfied, about to teach its little brothers a lesson, but suddenly realized that the school of Liuli Fish around it had become somewhat abnormal.
Their eyes were glowing red, all staring at the giant golden Liuli Fish.
The golden Liuli Fish felt something was wrong and wanted to escape.
But it was too late.
Countless Liuli Fish went mad, surrounding it.
The figure of the golden Liuli Fish disappeared within the school of fish.
Streams of golden blood slowly floated to the surface.
...
Li Fan held a glass bead the size of a pigeon's egg in his hand, observing carefully.
"Unfortunately, it's not a rare heavenly treasure."
"But just carrying it has effects similar to swallowing a Liuli Pill. It's still quite extraordinary."
Li Fan, satisfied, put it away and continued to fly towards Liuli Island.
As he approached Liuli Island, Li Fan stopped in mid-air and released his spiritual energy.
In just a moment, a voice came from afar, "Which fellow Daoist is coming to my Liuli Island?"
Along with the voice, the figure of He Zhenghao appeared.
Although He Zhenghao had a Foundation Establishment cultivation level, in the face of a Qi Condensation stage cultivator who came uninvited, he did not act arrogantly, addressing him as a fellow Daoist.
"I have met fellow Daoist He!" Li Fan cupped his hands.
"I am Li Fan, a wandering cultivator from the Cong Yun Sea. Reaching the Qi Condensation stage was already extremely difficult, and I know I have no hope of reaching Foundation Establishment as a wandering cultivator."
"So, I wish to join the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and seek a Foundation Establishment technique."
Li Fan paused and continued, "I have long heard of fellow Daoist's sense of justice, generosity, and kindness, so I came to pay my respects."
"I hope fellow Daoist can recommend me. Once successful, I will surely return this favor!"
He Zhenghao was a bit stunned when he heard that Li Fan wanted to join the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
He never expected that one day he would encounter such a stroke of luck.
When Li Fan mentioned repayment in the future, He Zhenghao was even more delighted, "Oh, fellow Daoist, you're too kind. We cultivators all know that cultivation is not easy, and if we can help, we will. Rest assured, your matter of joining the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, I will take care of it!"
Li Fan smiled slightly, "Fellow Daoist's reputation as a generous benefactor is indeed well-deserved, I admire you."
He Zhenghao was about to explain that he didn't have a reputation as a generous benefactor, but he thought about it and felt that this description was quite appropriate.
If it could spread, it would greatly benefit his cultivation in seclusion. So he didn't deny it.
The two of them smiled at each other.
