Chapter 261: Zhenghao’s Ambition
🕑 Added 2024-01-30 19:25:40 +0000 UTCDuring this period, the Karmic Body used to accommodate the feedback from the Mountain Meditation Technique had reached a state of half-real and half-illusory.
If quantified, it was roughly equivalent to half of Li Fan's Foundation Establishment cultivation.
With He Zhenghao's breakthrough to Golden Core, Li Fan received the largest investment return since practicing the Mountain Meditation Technique.
The quantity exceeded Li Fan's expectations, and the illusory image of the Karmic Body transformed into reality after reaching perfect stage Foundation Establishment.
A vivid figure, with clear facial features, sat inside Li Fan's dantian.
Li Fan suddenly felt that the Karmic Body had reached its absorption limit.
Just as he felt somewhat regretful, thinking that the remaining feedback cultivation would go to waste, a second Karmic Body suddenly appeared.
It continued until it stored one-third of the total amount before finally stopping.
"It's indeed a Four Law Golden Core; it can bring such a significant return in cultivation!"
Li Fan was secretly amazed.
After careful sensing, Li Fan had a realization.
"In addition to the extraordinary power of the Four Law Golden Core, the inextricable connection between He Zhenghao and me is also an important reason for the amount of feedback this time."
"One reason is the Mountain and River Hidden Dragon Technique, and the other is that I prevented He Zhenghao from meeting a tragic end and essentially saved his life."
"Combined with my careful protection during his breakthrough..."
"All in all, that's why when he broke through, I received so much feedback."
"If it were just the Mountain and River Hidden Dragon Technique, breaking through to Golden Core would definitely not result in so much cultivation feedback."
In the midst of these thoughts, the turbulent fluctuations on He Zhenghao's side gradually calmed down.
His breath restrained, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on achieving the Four Law Golden Core. From now on, your future is boundless!" Li Fan said with a smile.
He Zhenghao burst into laughter, dispelling the past depression he had been carrying.
Then he said seriously, "Don't be so formal. Half of the credit of my Golden Core formation belongs to you."
"Although I have now formed the Golden Core, fellow Daoist is not far from the breakthrough, and I am only a step ahead."
"How about we continue to interact as we did before?"
He Zhenghao gave a lot of face, and Li Fan was very satisfied.
The two exchanged compliments for a while.
During the conversation, they talked about the palace complex that had risen before.
He Zhenghao frowned and said, "When I was breaking through, I originally intended to form the Golden Core with three laws. However, when I was sensing the undersea triple fault zones through the formation diagram, I inexplicably perceived that there seemed to be something hidden beneath the seabed."
"It even resonated and was related to my Hidden Abyss law."
"I thought it might be some extraordinary treasure, but I didn't expect it to be a complete ruin."
Li Fan chimed in, "This ruin didn't reveal its true size until you broke through. It changed to the size of an ordinary cultivation abode and flew away to the east."
"How about it, fellow Daoist, are you interested in this ruin?"
He Zhenghao shook his head, "If I say I'm not interested, I'd be lying. Unfortunately, even with my current cultivation, a sense of danger arises in my heart when I recall the scene where I faced it head-on just now."
"There are so many opportunities in the world, and there's no need to grab everything you see."
"It's better to forget about it!"
Li Fan nodded, "Fellow Daoist's words make sense."
However, in his heart, Li Fan couldn't help but think that after spending time with his daughter, fellow Daoist He's actions seemed much more cautious.
If he were alone like before, he might have entertained thoughts of going on an adventure.
At present, Li Fan didn't bring up this topic again.
"What are your plans next, fellow Daoist?" Li Fan asked.
After advancing to Golden Core, there would naturally be adjustments to one's position within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
He Zhenghao hesitated for a moment before answering, "If possible, I would like to take advantage of this breakthrough and try to transfer to Tianyu Province."
"Of course, Tianyu Province is the central homeland of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. Even if I am a Four Law Golden Core cultivator, it's unrealistic to directly transfer there. However, I can gradually plan for it, using other provinces as stepping stones. When I break through to Nascent Soul next time, I'll see if there's an opportunity."
"In any case, I want to leave this remote Cong Yun Sea first."
Upon hearing this, Li Fan's heart stirred.
He Zhenghao had narrowly escaped a destined calamity and recognized his daughter, and his destiny had undergone a mysterious change. Through a series of coincidences, he had the idea of leaving the Cong Yun Sea spontaneously.
In this way, even if Li Fan didn't intervene, he could still escape the calamity of the Crimson Flame.
This is another blessing.
"It seems that even heroes have a hard time resisting a beauty!" Li Fan knew why He Zhenghao was so eager to return to Tianyu Province and couldn't help but tease him.
"Fellow Daoist, feel free to do as you please. If you need contribution points to establish connections, don't hesitate to ask." Li Fan smiled and assured him.
He Zhenghao, upon hearing this, showed a happy expression. He knew that Li Fan had earned a fortune during the Spirit Mist Grass incident and was quite wealthy.
"With my previous connections and the foundation of my Four Law Golden Core, coupled with using a sufficient amount of contributions to pave the way, I might be able to obtain an unexpectedly good position." He secretly thought.
"Perhaps I won't need to go to Shilin Province in this life. After all, it's unfamiliar territory. Let's see if I can hitch a ride with Fellow Daoist He's good fortune." Li Fan thought to himself.
The two returned with their own thoughts.
He Zhenghao returned to Liuli Island to stabilize his cultivation.
Li Fan returned to the Tianxuan Mirror.
The news of the underwater cultivation abode gradually spread. Many cultivators flew over, attempting to seek opportunities.
But after all, by the time the palace complex appeared in the crowd's view, it had shrunk a lot.
Therefore, it didn't look very large or valuable, and the number of cultivators willing to chase after it was not that many.
If nothing unexpected happened, after dozens of cultivators fell behind, this matter would slowly be forgotten.
However...
Li Fan wanted the cultivators to explore and find out the secrets within the ruin.
How could he allow such a thing to happen?
So he decided to stir up some trouble.
In the Tianxuan Realm, he, as an eyewitness, narrated the incident of the ruin's reappearance.
Not long after, it caused a sensation.
After all, ancient cultivation abodes and ancient sect ruins were two completely different concepts.
Cultivator abodes generally had a limited number of techniques and treasures.
But in ancient sect ruins, especially those that had been sealed for countless years and had just reappeared, had countless opportunities.
The prosperity of the ancient cultivation world was deeply ingrained in people's minds.
Obtaining any cultivation technique at all was already a huge gain.
And according to Li Fan's description, the palace complex spanned hundreds of miles and did not seem like an insignificant and weak sect.
Thus, the enthusiasm of the cultivators was quickly ignited.
