Chapter 255: Yuandao Province's Origins
🕑 Added 2024-01-24 20:33:38 +0000 UTCHe Zhenghao was no longer the arrogant and hot-blooded youth of the past.
After struggling in the Cong Yun Sea for decades, he had long recognized the cruelty of reality.
With a deep sigh, He Zhenghao shook his head, "Fellow Daoist, you're joking. Ruoshui's cultivation talent far surpasses mine."
"Even if I can cultivate to the Nascent Soul realm in this lifetime, by then, she might have already ascended to the Soul Transformation realm."
"A Soul Transformation Master Pathweaver..."
"The gap between us would only widen."
"I'm already old, and I don't dare to hope anymore."
"As long as Xinxin can visit me from time to time, I'll be content."
He Zhenghao expressed his sentiments.
Li Fan didn't say much and just patted his shoulder before taking his leave.
Back in the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan began a meticulous search for information about Yuandao Province.
People from the entire province would lose ten years of time every now and then.
Perhaps the people in Yuandao Province couldn't perceive it.
But when exchanging information with cultivators from other provinces, wouldn't they realize that something was amiss?
During these ten swallowed years, how would the outside world perceive Yuandao Province?
The information in the Tianxuan Mirror was vast, and there should be some clues about this aspect, right?
Li Fan spent a good part of the day confirming this.
Nothing.
Li Fan couldn't help but sigh, "Everything you can see is what they allow you to see."
"What they don't want you to see, you will never see."
Shaking his head, he gave up on his previous plans.
He focused on searching for the history of Yuandao Province.
"The Ruins of Tiandu," "Discussion on Yuandao," "Origin of Yuandao," "On the Relationship Between Yuandao Province and the Ancient Land of Yuandao," "A Brief Discussion on the Inheritance of the Tiandu Grandmaster"...
Book after book, Li Fan patiently read through them.
In these books about Yuandao Province, almost all of them couldn't avoid a key term.
Tiandu.
"The origin of the Dao, the head of all teachings..."
"What grandiose praise."
Li Fan couldn't help but mutter, "Could it be that Tiandu is one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects?"
According to testimonies, in ancient times, Tiandu reigned high above the nine heavens, overlooking the multitudes of the Xuanhuang Realm.
It was known as the origin of the Dao and the head of all teachings.
The specific cultivators inside Tiandu at that time are no longer known.
The only name passed down was the "Tiandu Grandmaster."
It is said that Yuandao Province's Blue Feather Immortal Sage was from the lineage of the Tiandu Grandmaster.
The "Heavenly Feather Transformation Technique" he practiced was directly passed down by the Grandmaster.
Many of Blue Feather's precious treasures, such as the Tiandu Martial Arena and the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace, all came from the Tiandu inheritance.
"This year, Blue Feather's life will come to an end. Before his death, he laid down the 'Devouring Rebirth Formation' in a vain attempt to reverse the cycle of life and death and achieve eternal life."
"It is said that when Blue Feather died, death announcements were widespread throughout the province, visible to everyone."
"My main body cannot go, but my clone can go."
Li Fan faintly felt that the unknown entity devouring time might be related to the ancient Tiandu.
But this was just a hunch and had no evidence to support it.
"Regardless, witnessing the scene of an Immortal Sage's death is a rare opportunity."
"Going to see the world is also good."
"I heard that because Blue Feather was already a Dao Integration cultivator before the Great Calamity, his death announcement is different from those of today's cultivators."
...
With a determined heart, Li Fan then searched for methods to eliminate the inexplicable traces on his body.
There were many specialty techniques in the world.
Although [Truth] was unable to erase these traces, that didn't mean there weren't other techniques that could.
As long as it could be solved with contribution points, it was not a problem for Li Fan.
Keywords: purification, curse, traces, elimination...
Li Fan carefully examined the information that emerged.
All these solutions could be roughly divided into three categories.
The first category relied on Earthly Treasures to cleanse oneself, purifying any demonic aura.
The second category involved special cultivation techniques that could continuously refine both body and mind until they were pure and flawless.
The third category consisted of cultivators who specialize in this field.
You only needed to pay a certain price, and they would actively come to cleanse your body.
They would eliminate the abnormalities on your body.
Of course, if unsuccessful, they wouldn't charge you.
With the mindset of giving it a try, Li Fan contacted these cultivators.
When the cultivators inquired about the type of traces that needed to be expelled, Li Fan only said he wasn't sure.
He just felt something was wrong with his body based on his spiritual consciousness.
This kind of intuition was quite normal.
Over a dozen cultivators came, some in the Golden Core realm, some in the Nascent Soul realm.
After they performed their techniques, Li Fan didn't feel any effect.
The cultivators stared at Li Fan for a moment, then shook their heads, indicating they couldn't find any abnormalities.
Just as Li Fan was about to give up, the last cultivator gave him a pleasant surprise.
This cultivator's name was Fang Yang, and he was in the Nascent Soul realm.
After seeing Li Fan and observing for a while, he was about to use his technique.
However, his expression suddenly changed.
Without saying a word, he turned and left.
Li Fan knew Fang Yang must have sensed something and quickly caught up.
In front of the Transmission Square, Fang Yang, who was blocked, had an ugly expression.
If it weren't for the prohibition against fighting on the island, he would probably have killed this ignorant kid on the spot.
"Young man, go back! I'm afraid I can't help with the problem on your body!"
Li Fan looked nervous and said sincerely, "Please, senior, save me!"
"I don't know why, but I always feel uneasy lately, and I can't concentrate on cultivation."
"If this continues, my cultivation will stagnate, and I'll die in the Foundation Establishment stage, cutting off my path to immortality!"
Grabbing Fang Yang's hand tightly, Li Fan looked determined not to let go.
Fang Yang's face turned red, but he couldn't attack.
He could only lower his voice and say, "Kid, I'll be honest with you. Although I don't know what's happening on your body, it's clear that you've offended an existence you shouldn't have."
"The level is too high, beyond what a mere Nascent Soul cultivator like me can handle."
"Even if I had a solution, I wouldn't help you."
"Because to put it bluntly, the anomaly on your body is like a mark left by that existence. If you rashly remove it, it will surely attract the attention of that entity."
...
Fang Yang stopped speaking here and said no more.
Li Fan's heart sank. He didn't expect the situation to be more severe than he had imagined.
"Senior, do you have a solution? If I can get through this disaster, I will repay you generously in the future!" Li Fan said solemnly.
Fang Yang reevaluated Li Fan, contemplated for a moment, and then replied, "Find a remote subworld, cultivate a purifying technique, spend more than a decade on it, and maybe you can get rid of it."
"Of course, this is just a suggestion. Whether it works or not depends on your own destiny, and I don't dare to guarantee it."
Li Fan nodded slowly upon hearing this.
He expressed his gratitude to Fang Yang and didn't pester him any longer.
