“The simulation has ended.”
In the familiar yet unfamiliar study, Li Fan stood still, still immersed in the residual charm of the “Palm of Sky Flipping”.
After a long while, he took a deep breath.
Although he, with the cultivation of Final Stage Foundation Establishment, killed a Nascent Soul Monk, Li Fan didn’t take much pride in it.
One reason was that the red-haired Nascent Soul’s cultivation was originally not strong.
More importantly, Li Fan didn’t rely solely on his own strength.
He used [Explosive Shocking Array], which forcibly increased the power of his technique to the Golden Core Realm and then activated a bunch of auxiliary arrays.
In the end, he unleashed both the Twenty-eight Cloud Swords and the Palm of Sky Flipping – the two strongest attacks altogether.
The final result was a tie, with both sides perished together.
If it were not for [Real], he might have been long dead.
However, on the other hand, if he hadn’t relied on [Real], given Li Fan’s character, he probably wouldn’t have risked his life to ultimately comprehend his game-changing Palm of Sky Flipping.
Looking at the several options offered by [Real].
Without a doubt, Li Fan chose the second option: Keep his cultivation.
While confirming his choice, he concentrated, paying careful attention to the changes about to happen within his body.
When he first inherited the cultivation of the Final Stage of Energy Refining, the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma in his body dissipated silently when the cultivation manifested.
Now, Li Fan was curious about how [Real] would handle the law of this world that “foundation establishment must rely on the wonder of heaven and earth”.
He held his breath and focused. Suddenly, the cultivation of the Final Stage Foundation Establishment gushed out from his body.
The Immortal-Ordinary Miasma disappeared like snow melting in water. Spiritual energy emerged from within his body inexplicably, then its momentum escalated progressively.
In a blink of an eye, it reached the Final Stage of Energy Refining.
Then, a small azure pearl suddenly appeared in his Dantian without any signs.
It was the Ocean Pearl that should not have been born yet!
The Root of Heaven and Earth attached to the Ocean Pearl transformed the laws within it into Li Fan’s Tao Foundation.
Only, this process of foundation building was hundreds, if not thousands of times faster than when Li Fan did it on his own!
In an instant, the Ocean Pearl vanished.
An image of a blue ocean took residence in Li Fan’s Dantian.
In the blink of an eye, Li Fan completed the process of foundation building.
Then, his aura continued to rise until it reached the Final Stage Foundation Establishment and stopped.
“It seems that even if I use the power of [Real] to enhance my cultivation, I still have to follow the precepts of cultivation established by the Celestial Dharma Bearer in this world.”
“Is this the power of [Contrary to the Logic of Heaven and Earth]?”
“The essence of the cultivation rules has fundamentally changed. To play this cultivation game, I must abide by the established rules.”
Li Fan pondered for a while, recalling scenes he had witnessed in his previous life, and seemed to realize something.
“After Immortal Sovereign contradicted the laws of heaven and earth, he disappeared from the world.”
“Unity Path Experts suppressed a state, and they were the strongest force on the surface.”
“Below the Unity Path…”
Thinking of the various God Transformation cultivators fighting in Yuandao State, all just sacrifices for Lan Yu’s ascension.
Li Fan couldn’t help but sigh: “Everyone below the Unity-Path are just insignificant ants.”
“God Transformation, Nascent Soul, Gold Core, Foundation Establishment.” “There is no fundamental difference.”
“Only after offering the Essence of Heaven and Earth and achieving Unity-Path can you barely catch the attention of the Immortal Sovereign.”
“But…”
“Not achieving Longevity is all in vain.”
“Lan Yu lived painfully for thousands of years, and still met his end.”
“Achieving Longevity…”
“Achieving Longevity…”
Li Fan repeated these three words, seemingly thinking about something, his brows furrowed.
“Not achieving Longevity is all in vain.”
“But even after achieving Longevity, then what?”
“At the beginning, the Celestial Dharma Bearer established a new cultivation path.’
“Since then, if you don’t practice according to his cultivation method, you can’t cultivate.”
“But if you do walk his cultivation path, even if you truly achieve Longevity, you’re still in his shadow.”
Li Fan seemed to understand something, and his face calmed down.
“In this world, the path of cultivation has been established according to His will.”
“To Transcend, one must jump out of the game from the very beginning.”
“But as a chess piece, especially the weakest one, how can one jump out of the game on their own?”
“Unless, they rely on external forces.”
“[Real]
Li Fan stared at the [Real] screen before him, his eyes flickering constantly.
“From the day I realized that everything in the world can be seen as a Natural Treasure, I had the idea of using [Real] as the basis to build my Dao foundation.”
“For this, I have observed the process of foundation building thousands of times. ”
“And unlocked two anchor points.”
“Now, it’s time to test.”
With a decision in his heart, Li Fan flew to the peak of the Dissociative
Mountain where he had first comprehended the Formless Killing Machine.
He quickly built a cottage and set up some precautions to prevent others from wandering in.
Then he sat cross-legged in the house. With a thought, the prompt from [Real] timely popped out.
“Do you want to set the current time point as the second anchor point?”
Li Fan didn’t hesitate: “Yes!”
The second anchor fell in response.
“Now, all that’s left is to wait for [Real] to be fully charged.”
“The charging speed of [Real] has never improved, it still needs about nine years.”
“During this time, I can’t remain idle.”
“I haven’t studied He Zhenghao’s [Mountain and River Hundred Veins Formation Map] very much, but I have a rough recollection of Zhang Zhiliang’s
[Infinite Techinique].”
“Just in time, I can use this opportunity to continue to enhance my Array Mastery.”
“It’s just a pity that in this Da Xuan Fairy Forbidden Land, I can only improve my theoretical level and can’t practice Arrays..”
