317 Chapter 791-795: Erroneous Transformation of Heaven and Earth (6k+ words)
Without stopping for a long time, Xu Bai, who had just ascended to the Divine Ascension realm, took action again. This time, it instantly accelerated Li Fan's heartbeat, and a sense of suffocation surged.
As everyone knows, in the Xuanhuang Realm, after the Heavenly Venerable founded a new method, to achieve the Harmony Realm, one must obtain the "Essence of Heaven and Earth."
Before this, Li Fan had speculated on the path Xu Bai would take to enter the Harmony Realm.
Whether it was the Fiery Blaze, Azure Wind, Black Marsh...
Or the incredibly powerful and world-destroying "Inky Slaughter."
But at this moment, when Li Fan truly sensed what was happening on Xu Bai's body, his understanding was completely overturned!
Xu Bai stood quietly in the air like a stone statue, unmoving. However, it seemed like something was descending from the sky onto Xu Bai!
Boom!
In Li Fan's mind, a few scenes flashed instantly. Fertile land, teeming with vitality. A vague figure descended, freezing everything for miles around. Everywhere looked desolate and silent.
The Essence of Heaven and Earth: Shining Ice!
In Xu Bai's originally pitch-black hair, a strand of frosty white suddenly appeared.
Although it quickly returned to normal, this phenomenon brought an inexplicable shock to Li Fan.
Because, based on the insights transmitted from Xu Bai's body, he had actually grasped the power of the "Shining Ice" Essence of Heaven and Earth in that instant!
The Essence of Heaven and Earth is born with a divine duty, each with its own power. Once a cultivator kills and refines it, taking its place, they can instantly steal and control the power originally belonging to Heaven and Earth.
This is also the reason why the combat power of cultivators who follow the new method in the Harmony Realm generally far exceeds those who follow the old method.
But now, it seemed that something violating the iron rules of the new method had happened on Xu Bai's body.
He didn't kill the Essence of Heaven and Earth, but the power of the Essence of Heaven and Earth was transferred to him!
Moreover, this was just the first one!
Silently, a second wave of fluctuations came, seemingly spanning millions of miles, descending upon Xu Bai.
Li Fan once again saw illusions before his eyes. A desolate land with rampant strange insects, not a blade of grass in sight. Then, a drop of fine rain fell on the world. The originally barren land, moisturized by the rain, slowly became fertile. The insects, as if encountering a terrifying natural enemy, slowly dissolved amidst despairing cries. Washed away by the rain, they turned into fertilizer for the earth.
The Essence of Heaven and Earth: Dark Rain!
Xu Bai's hair seemed to have lengthened slightly.
Li Fan's heart suddenly stopped beating.
Because, in that instant, Xu Bai had also mastered the power of Dark Rain.
In just a short moment, he already had two Essences of Heaven and Earth attached to him.
However, Xu Bai was not satisfied. He closed his eyes, opened his arms, and embraced himself.
From east to west, from south to north.
Essences of Heaven and Earth kept coming.
"Cao!"
Li Fan cursed inwardly, instantly stopping his idle observation and accelerating his actions.
"Given his speed in attaining the Harmony Realm, he probably won't have time to deploy the chaotic puppets in every state."
"I can only choose the states with more cultivators."
"After completing this, quickly return to Changsheng Valley."
While flying towards the nearest celestial city, Li Fan thought and observed everything happening on Xu Bai, his thoughts racing.
"To obtain the power without killing the Essence of Heaven and Earth... This is the 'Erroneous Transformation of Heaven's Will.'"
"Even as the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, this is a bit too much!"
"Ordinary cultivators can inherit the power of the Essence of Heaven and Earth through killing, thanks to the blessing of the Heavenly Venerable's new method."
"But the actions of Xu Bai, the Holy Embryo, are..."
"It's not sacrificing the Essence of Heaven and Earth; he is embodying the Essence of Heaven and Earth!"
In an instant, Li Fan understood Xu Bai's plan.
Even with the innate talent of the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, reversing the principles of Heaven and Earth is not an overnight task. Moreover, from the conversation he overheard between Sun Liancheng and Sun Qi, he learned that the deeper the Heavenly Favor, the more difficult it is to reverse the principles of Heaven and Earth, and the stronger the backlash.
It is very likely that Xu Bai simply cannot reach the Longevity Realm.
But after his resurrection, there will inevitably be those Longevity Venerables as opponents.
The gap between Harmony and Longevity is like the difference between heaven and earth. How can one compete with such power?
Only by maximizing the power of Harmony.
One Essence of Heaven and Earth is equivalent to the strength of a Harmony Realm cultivator.
If one Harmony Realm is not enough to resist the power of a Longevity Venerable, then ten or a hundred!
Various different powers of the Essence of Heaven and Earth merged into Xu Bai's body.
With each integration, his aura jumped up a level.
The scenes sensed by Li Fan gradually became blurred.
From being immersed in the environment, to seeing through a thin film, and then to seeing flowers in the mist.
Li Fan was losing absolute control over Xu Bai.
This also meant...
Mr. Bai is awakening!
Seizing this last opportunity, Li Fan tried to gather as much information as possible from Xu Bai.
"So that's it..."
"He has mastered the power of the Essence of Heaven and Earth, but it doesn't mean that there are no more Essences of Heaven and Earth in the Xuanhuang Realm."
"Instead, through 'Erroneous Transformation,' he temporarily transfers the power originally belonging to the Essence of Heaven and Earth to himself."
"Countless different energies blend together without any rejection."
"This method is something that anyone other than the Heavenly Dao incarnation cannot endure, no matter how talented..."
"No, this is not a talent issue."
Li Fan keenly sensed something.
As the number of "Erroneously Transformed" Essences of Heaven and Earth increased, Xu Bai's body size also changed slightly.
Height, contours, becoming more like the phantom of the Essence of Heaven and Earth!
The pressure became stronger, and Li Fan felt the imminent life-and-death crisis.
Fortunately, when Xu Bai completely "Erroneously Transformed" all the Essence of Heaven and Earth energies roaming in the world, his actions in Harmony slowed down.
Because, next, it was time for those Essences of Heaven and Earth that originally did not exist in the world and only appeared in critical moments to make their entrance.
The sky over Tianlingzhou dimmed suddenly.
An imperceptible shadow attached itself to Xu Bai.
Boom!
As if his brain had been ruthlessly hit, Li Fan, who had completed all preparations and was hastily rushing to Changsheng Valley, almost stumbled and fell from the sky.
Essence of Heaven and Earth: Phantom Shadow!
Sensing the transmitted information, sweat dripped from Li Fan's forehead.
Not because of fear.
But because, sharing the same body with Xu Bai had already exerted immense pressure on him.
In simple terms, it's like saying, "What level are you? You're using the same body as me?"
The scene appeared and disappeared intermittently. Li Fan sensed that in the land of Tianlingzhou, extremely powerful Essences of Heaven and Earth seemed to be descending again.
Chapter 792: Mr. Bai Descends
The faint aura emanating from that Essence of Heaven and Earth was not unfamiliar to Li Fan.
It was none other than the Essence of Heaven and Earth: Ink Kill!
In an instant, Xu Bai's eyes became even darker and more profound.
His gaze seemed to penetrate the countless miles of space, reaching directly to Li Fan!
Boom!
Li Fan, who had just returned to Changsheng Valley, felt like he had been struck by a heavy blow, and his figure swayed as if about to fall.
This anomaly immediately caught the attention of Liu San.
The three members of the Alchemy King Sect were immersed in qi refinement. Fang Zaiji was devoted to refining qi, while Jiang Yushan was dedicated to cultivation. Only Liu San was most concerned about the development of the Alchemy King Sect. His divine sense enveloped the entire valley, constantly monitoring the movements of the sect disciples.
Therefore, he noticed Li Fan's abnormality at the first moment.
"Young Master, are you injured?" Teleporting in front of Li Fan, Liu San's expression was somewhat nervous, not pretending.
"It's fine, just a slight deviation in cultivation. I'll be fine after a short rest." Li Fan, who had recovered slightly, waved his hand.
Seeing Li Fan's breath gradually stabilizing, Liu San nodded slowly.
However, there was still some doubt in his eyes.
Li Fan didn't explain, and after sending away Liu San, he came alone to the secret room of the sect disciples.
First, he sensed the situation of the "Shadow Left Behind."
Dongfang Yao did indeed act efficiently and quickly.
All 108 "Shadows Left Behind" had already been arranged properly.
"It's just a contingency. If possible, I hope it will never be activated."
Li Fan only glanced casually and stopped paying attention.
Instead, he continued to check the situation on Xu Bai's side through the increasingly blurry shared perception.
It was as if it were shrouded in dense white mist, and he could only vaguely see passing scenes through occasional gaps.
He could no longer sense the specific information of the Essences of Heaven and Earth being "Erroneously Transformed."
However, it was obvious that the Essence of Heaven and Earth's power concentrated on Xu Bai was increasing.
With his body shape changing, he was getting closer to the Essence of Heaven and Earth.
The pressure emanating from him became more and more overwhelming, no longer concealing it.
From every corner of the Xuanhuang Realm, countless gazes were cast.
However...
In the almost perfect state of "Harmony between Heaven and Man," even the Longevity Venerable would need some time to discern the origin of this "Xu Bai" that had never appeared in the Xuanhuang Realm.
At this moment, a rolling dark cloud suddenly formed above Tianlingzhou.
The sun was obscured, and the entire Tianlingzhou instantly became as dark as night.
Not only did the "field of vision" fall into darkness, but all kinds of spying were also cut off due to this sudden darkness.
Inside Tianlingzhou, numerous cultivators felt fear due to this inexplicable state, thinking that some great calamity was about to descend.
Only a few strong individuals at the Harmony Realm suddenly stood up, looking up at the sky with shocked expressions.
"Friend Jiao, are you ready?" In Changsheng Valley, Li Fan used a communication talisman to contact Jiao Xiuyuan.
"I made it clear beforehand, I can only make a move at the most critical moment. Whether it succeeds or not, it has nothing to do with me in the future."
"By the way, I specifically replaced the puppet avatar that was deployed this time with your appearance. It completely disassociates me from the situation. So don't think you can scare others with my appearance." Jiao Xiuyuan replied quickly, obviously having concerns about this "transaction." However, Li Fan had offered a price he couldn't refuse, making him willing to take the risk.
After receiving Jiao Xiuyuan's confirmation, Li Fan didn't say much. He simply ended the communication.
His eyes turned to the secret room, where ninety-nine puppet avatars stood in neat rows.
Not only did each puppet have incomplete chaotic characters engraved on its body, but these eighty-one puppets also formed a rough "chaos" pattern as a whole.
However, their core components were still gathered and placed in the center.
The final assembly had not been completed.
"If I'm not mistaken, when Saint Embryo Xu Bai completes the Harmony Realm and Mr. Bai fully awakens, the first thing he will do is come find me and take back the 'True Return.'" Waiting for him here is inevitable, with no escape. Survival can only be sought in death!"
Sitting among the eighty-one puppet avatars in the center, Li Fan refocused his attention, attempting to sense the situation on Xu Bai's side.
The overcast clouds seemed to affect even this kind of mutual perception between their true bodies.
It was intermittent.
Most of the time, it couldn't be sensed.
Only in brief gaps could he vaguely see the scene on the Tianlingzhou side.
There was no longer any erroneous transformation of heavenly principles, and it seemed that the power of all the Essences of Heaven and Earth in the Xuanhuang Realm had been gathered.
Xu Bai's appearance had already undergone a significant change compared to the puppet Xu Bai.
He seemed to be getting acquainted with this new body, standing still in the air.
The various powerful auras that had emanated during the erroneous transformation of heavenly principles slowly dissipated.
Returning to simplicity, he appeared like an ordinary person.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, he slowly raised his head to gaze at the sky.
His line of sight pierced through the dark clouds, traversed the sky, and reached beyond the Xuanhuang Realm.
Li Fan's pupils suddenly contracted.
Through the shared perception, he saw a giant palm pressing down right above!
In the last moment of the scene, he seemed to see the collision between the giant palm and the clouds over Tianlingzhou.
The giant palm was unstoppable.
The black cloud barrier formed by the will of heaven and earth was as fragile as porcelain in front of it, shattering upon contact.
And Xu Bai just watched the giant palm descend.
There was no fear on his face.
The sensed images disappeared, and Li Fan silently counted.
After three breaths.
He felt the ground shaking violently.
It was like experiencing a massive earthquake, and it took a long time to gradually settle.
Li Fan knew that the scene he had just witnessed was not an illusion.
The earthquake was caused by the aftermath of the collision between the giant palm and the black cloud barrier.
Changsheng Valley was located in Luoyan Prefecture, separated by almost half of the territory of the Wanxian Alliance from Tianlingzhou.
Even so, it had experienced such a violent impact.
From this, it could be seen that the collision might have even affected the entire Xuanhuang Realm!
"Transmitting Law Celestial?"
The name flashed through Li Fan's mind in an instant.
The black cloud over Tianlingzhou was the intervention of the Xuanhuang Realm's heavenly path, providing enough time for Mr. Bai's descent.
And undoubtedly, the one who could easily destroy it was the one pressing down on all the new law cultivators...
Transmitting Law Celestial!
Although Transmitting Law Celestial intervened and easily shattered the protection of the heavenly path.
But the purpose of the Xuanhuang heavenly path had already been achieved.
Because...
Saint Embryo Xu Bai, or Mr. Bai, was gone!
There was no longer any trace of the aura belonging to a cultivator on him.
He completely merged into the Xuanhuang world.
Like a drop of water falling into the sea.
Even though the celestial knowledge of Transmitting Law could sweep across the entire Xuanhuang Realm in an instant.
Finding Mr. Bai still required some time.
Before completely losing the sense of Saint Embryo Xu Bai, Li Fan saw Mr. Bai coming towards Changsheng Valley at a fast pace!
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 793: Chaos in Changsheng Valley
It seemed like locking eyes with Mr. Bai's profound gaze.
Li Fan's heart suddenly stopped.
"Indeed, my guess was correct! His first move after resurrection is to get his hands on 'True Return.' Self-awareness was going crazy with warnings."
Thinking about the powerful experts, equivalent to countless combined forces, about to come knocking.
Facing a black cloud pressuring the city, the immense oppression almost made it difficult for him to breathe.
Taking a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
The Dao Stone Crystal in his mind operated to the extreme, contemplating whether he had overlooked any preparations.
But he also knew that in the face of a massive disparity in strength, all calculations depended on luck.
"My fate will not end here!"
At the moment of life and death, and with no True Return as a reliance.
Li Fan felt his nervousness gradually disappear, and his mind became clear.
All distracting thoughts vanished.
He calmly pondered possible strategies.
"Although I lost the simultaneous connection with Saint Embryo Xu Bai, this 'loss' might be just a one-sided and simple blockage."
"Unable to rule out the possibility that Mr. Bai can still sense my situation through Clone Xu Bai or even the taint of his true self."
"So the first step is to send off Clone Xu Bai, attempting to sever or weaken the connection between him and me."
"Otherwise, any plan will be transparent in front of him."
"And next..."
Li Fan frowned, deducing various possibilities of what might happen next.
While awaiting Mr. Bai's arrival.
But it seemed that Mr. Bai's arrival was slower than expected.
A whole stick of incense had passed, yet his figure was nowhere to be seen.
"Could it be that he's gone to find Dongfang Yao first to eliminate the potential trouble from those 'True Return' imprints?"
With a thought, Li Fan checked and found Dongfang Yao and the imprints were intact.
"Then where did he go?"
A hint of doubt flashed in his mind.
But soon, he faintly guessed a possibility.
Believing in Mr. Bai's current strength, he could easily teleport through space restrictions and arrive at Changsheng Valley in an instant.
However, don't forget that Transmitting Law Celestial was observing the Xuanhuang Realm from above the dome.
Such a conspicuous action would be equivalent to voluntarily exposing oneself.
Therefore, Mr. Bai might have used a method that would show the least abnormality: "walking slowly."
Of course, this "slow step" was in comparison to "teleportation."
"Regardless, it should be soon." Li Fan sat upright in the central chamber of the cultivation room.
Meanwhile, Clone Xu Bai quietly arrived at the entrance of Changsheng Valley.
Li Fan's speculation was correct.
Before long, the sealed spatial passage was suddenly opened.
The disciples guarding were bewildered.
Upon closer inspection, they found that no one had arrived.
Just as they were puzzled.
Chapter 793: Chaos in Changsheng Valley
A figure appeared in Changsheng Valley.
Before even settling in or saying half a word,
Countless black auras burst forth like swarms of insects, transforming into countless flying swords, slashing towards Mr. Bai!
Each strike was enough to severely injure a Dao Fusion cultivator!
"Yushan?!" A shocked voice rang out from Sanli.
The countless black sword auras were unleashed by Jiang Yushan.
It was her mastery of the "Elusive Unfixed Sword."
The Unfixed Sword intent was contaminated with overwhelming malicious energy. A single sword intent could easily destroy the body and soul.
Under normal circumstances, Jiang Yushan could only unleash a maximum of a thousand sword intents simultaneously, already reaching her limit.
However, at this moment, it was evident that she had exceeded the load limit she could bear.
Her body seemed to have numerous wounds, cracking open. Blood flowed from her body, even from the corners of her eyes.
Such injuries might not matter much for a New Dao cultivator, but for an Old Dao cultivator, they were extremely severe.
However, Jiang Yushan paid no heed.
The endless black sword auras kept slashing.
Relentless!
Although it was unclear who this inexplicable figure was, how could Sanli sit idly by witnessing Jiang Yushan fighting so desperately?
"Fang Zaiji!" he shouted angrily, waking up the still-engrossed Elder Fang in alchemy.
At the same time, he waved his palms, striking towards the green light.
A green light surged towards Jiang Yushan, restoring her injuries.
Another green light instantly turned into countless threads, attempting to bind Mr. Bai.
Before the green threads reached Mr. Bai, a black heavy hammer, resembling a small mountain, appeared above his head.
It was about to come crashing down.
The three members of the Medicine King Sect had teamed up to attack, Li Fan's first-hand preparation.
Jiang Yushan took the initiative to strike because of the influence of the second "True Temptation" she had ingested earlier. Following Xu Bai's instructions, she launched an relentless attack.
As long as Jiang Yushan was embroiled in battle, Sanli would never ignore it. There was a significant possibility that Fang Zaiji would also join the fight.
With just one True Temptation, they could compel the three Dao Fusion cultivators into battle.
Although the three Dao Fusion cultivators of the Medicine King Sect were somewhat weaker than the current Dao Fusion cultivators, when combined, they still constituted a formidable force.
However, Mr. Bai seemed to have anticipated their siege.
A gentle smile appeared on his face.
His figure flickered, disappearing amidst the surround of countless malicious auras, green threads, and the black hammer.
With a speed that no one present could see clearly, he successively arrived beside Sanli and the others.
Extending his right index finger, he gently tapped.
The three Dao Fusion cultivators stood motionless, as if they had lost all their abilities, gently falling from mid-air to the ground.
Mr. Bai then turned his gaze to the impending Dao Fusion strike that was still hovering in the air.
He lightly clenched his right hand.
The fluctuations of their magical techniques, in an instant, were like a bunch of tangled threads, drawn into his hand.
Then, without any apparent resolution, a small, terrifying energy-infused sphere was drawn into his hand and absorbed into his body.
Sanli and the others were unharmed.
They safely landed on the ground, watching Mr. Bai, who bore a striking resemblance to their sect master's doppelgänger, all of them now trapped in a state of stupefaction.
With a casual gesture, he easily captured them.
This level of strength far exceeded their imagination.
"Daoist Changsheng? How could he look exactly like our sect master's doppelgänger?"
Countless doubts surged in their minds.
Before they could contemplate further, another anomaly occurred in the scene.
A massive metal furnace appeared out of nowhere.
It swiftly hurtled toward Mr. Bai.
Cracks were already visible on the surface of the furnace.
Just as it was about to reach Mr. Bai, it explosively shattered.
Fragments of the furnace scattered, but midway through their dispersal, they were devoured by a twisted, expanding mass of demonic flesh.
"Roar!"
A giant lump of flesh emerged, with countless demonic faces constantly appearing on its surface.
Every pair of eyes was filled with a sense of brutality and destruction.
From the moment of its birth, the first being it laid eyes on was Mr. Bai.
The Demonic Sovereign roared strangely and charged recklessly towards him.
Countless tentacles sprouted from its body, each carrying a demonic aura, lashing forward.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 794: Seeking Life in Chaos
Mr. Bai's smile gradually faded.
In its place, a hint of sternness flashed in his eyes.
As his gaze focused, the Demonic Sovereign, once ferocious and evil with its thrashing tentacles, suddenly halted in mid-air.
Then, as if invisible flames were roasting it, its body began to melt away and disappear, leaving behind hollow cavities one after another.
The Demonic Sovereign emitted sharp and frenzied screams.
However, Mr. Bai showed no mercy on his face.
His eyes became even more profound, and the fierce invisible flames, like torture, continued to torment the Demonic Sovereign.
In Longevity Valley, everyone witnessing this scene trembled.
Although the majority among them couldn't grasp Mr. Bai's true strength or realm, the terrifying pressure emanating from the unparalleled demonic beast released from the furnace was palpable to all.
Even Dao Fusion cultivators might not fare well against it.
However, this horrifying demonic beast, in front of Mr. Bai, had absolutely no resistance.
It could only allow itself to be slowly tormented, dissolving into the heavens and the earth.
Having personally refined the Demonic Sovereign, Li Fan had a clear understanding of its strength.
He didn't expect the Demonic Sovereign to pose any hindrance to Mr. Bai.
In reality, just like before, the demonic beast was merely a decoy.
It wasn't located in the original realm of Xuanhuang but hidden within the secret realm of Longevity Valley.
Hence, Senior Brother Zhang's grand plan with his Dharma body seemed a bit delayed.
It wasn't until the Demonic Sovereign was reduced to one-tenth of its original size through smelting that a purple aura finally arrived.
The purple radiance transformed into a towering figure standing against the sky.
Ignoring everyone present, it stared only at the Demonic Sovereign trapped by Mr. Bai.
The Purple Heaven Divine Thunder condensed into a spear, thrusting down violently.
While Mr. Bai observed the Dharma form in the sky, he made no move to stop Senior Brother Zhang.
However, in the moment the Demonic Sovereign was struck by the purple divine thunder, the remaining part of the beast voluntarily burst open.
An extremely dense and even frightening blood mist, along with the explosion, instantly spread in all directions.
Even the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, capable of purging all demonic evils, had its radiance obscured by this mist.
And Mr. Bai, after a brief moment of shock, displayed his first signs of anger.
Because...
During the initial process of refining the Demonic Sovereign, Li Fan added a special ingredient.
It was collected from a certain era and had been existing in the "Real" space of Huanzhen, namely, the "Blood Essence of Ten Thousand People."
The power of the Immortal and Mortal Miasma erupted suddenly, forcing even Mr. Bai to temporarily avoid its edge.
At this very moment, in the underground chamber, Li Fan abruptly opened his eyes.
"It's time!"
A thought crossed his mind.
Hidden chaotic puppets scattered throughout the Xuanhuang Realm were triggered by Li Fan, exploding one-third of them.
A mysterious and terrifying aura erupted everywhere shortly afterward.
At this moment, all cultivators in the Xuanhuang Realm felt a looming sense of disaster.
Unexplained fear, accelerated heartbeats, and an indescribable sense of dread filled their hearts.
Moreover, wave after wave of vast divine senses swept across the Xuanhuang land, attempting to locate the source of these disturbances.
The sky also changed its color, as if something were approaching and probing more intensely.
The impact of the Chaotic Script had exceeded Li Fan's expectations.
Despite being dispersed throughout the realm, when they simultaneously erupted, they seemed to spontaneously form connections.
Ignoring spatial gaps, they subtly linked together.
Without intentional writing, on the vast land of the Xuanhuang Realm, the Chaotic Script twisted and turned to form a gigantic character "乱" (chaos).
As strange events gradually unfolded across various regions, Li Fan achieved his goal.
Mr. Bai is the incarnation of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, and his power also originates from the Xuanhuang Realm.
Now, under the influence of the Chaotic Script, the Xuanhuang Realm plunged into a moment of chaos.
Mr. Bai's actions also experienced a brief and momentary stiffness.
This was precisely the opportunity Li Fan had been waiting for.
In this moment, all his prearranged moves erupted simultaneously.
Firstly, the clone Xu Bai flashed in front of Mr. Bai.
The two stared at each other, looking into faces extremely similar to their own.
However, there was no need for excessive words.
Without any hesitation, the clone Xu Bai, with a single thought, shattered his own Heavenly Cave.
Xu Bai, committed suicide!
Although the Saint Blood Embryo could give birth to a new clone without the death of the main body affecting it, there was still a mysterious connection between them.
The demise of the main body would undoubtedly bring some unavoidable influences on the clone.
It was a natural limitation of the Saint Blood Embryo technique.
Even with Mr. Bai's current cultivation, he couldn't avoid it.
Therefore, Mr. Bai's stiffness prolonged once again when the clone Xu Bai disappeared.
Li Fan instantly felt that the connection between him and Mr. Bai was severed to some extent.
After trying, although he could open the "Still True" interface, he still couldn't confirm Mr. Bai's status.
So Li Fan proceeded with the next actions.
With a step, he left the cultivation chamber in an instant.
After his departure, the 81 chaotic puppet statues hidden in the chamber exploded with a deafening roar.
The power of "chaos" instantly enveloped the Longevity Valley.
The sky was shrouded in a hazy force, and chaos descended.
Like mushrooms after the rain, hundreds of yellow withered branches suddenly grew from the ground in the Longevity Valley.
After a flash of light, these withered branches turned into humanoid figures.
Looking at their faces, they all looked exactly like Li Fan!
They simultaneously revealed eerie smiles to the people present and quickly retreated into the ground, disappearing.
Everyone, including Mr. Bai, was captivated by this scene.
The next moment, a greater disturbance ensued.
The remaining two-thirds of the chaotic puppet statues detonated simultaneously, creating a wave of turbulence.
Mr. Bai's body once again fell into a state of stiffness.
At the same time, unnoticed by anyone, a small black cauldron rose into the air.
It was about to break through the secret realm and fly into the sky of the Xuanhuang Realm.
Even though it acted discreetly, with many people present, someone still noticed the departure of the Medicine King True Cauldron.
A gasp caught everyone's attention.
But soon, their expressions changed even more.
Under the Medicine King True Cauldron, countless figures suddenly appeared, being thrown as if they were garbage in various directions.
Li San's body shook violently, his expression changing abruptly.
Because he had already realized that these were the Medicine King Sect cultivators sleeping in the Medicine King True Cauldron!
All of them were old-fashioned cultivators, physically weak, and still in a state of slumber.
Thrown at such a fast speed, if they hit the ground like this, except for a few strong ones, most would either die or be severely injured!
"Save them!"
Li San shouted repeatedly.
Disciples of the Medicine King Sect responded, but the number of thrown cultivators was too many, and they flew in different directions.
The influence of the chaotic script in the Longevity Valley made it difficult for cultivators to fly, posing a risk of falling.
They were too busy taking care of themselves, let alone rescuing others.
Li San was furious and did his best to save only a dozen or so.
Just when he was feeling somewhat desperate.
From his state of stiffness, Mr. Bai, who had already returned to normal, reached out.
He caught all the falling cultivators and gently placed them on the ground.
While the influence of the chaotic script had not yet disappeared, Mr. Bai, who had completed all this, rotated his right elbow strangely, as if it had been broken, although it quickly returned to normal, still causing him to furrow his brows slightly.
"Thank you, Senior, for saving us!" After a brief check and confirming that none of their fellow sect disciples were in life-threatening danger, Li San expressed his gratitude with a bow.
Mr. Bai remained silent, just watching the Medicine King True Cauldron, which had already disappeared into the sky, the hundreds of puppets now far away in several states, and Li Fan's lifeless body lying on the ground.
He shook his head slightly, revealing a helpless smile.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 795: Mutual Teaching, Establishing True Foundation (5,000 Monthly Votes + Additional Update)
Mr. Bai naturally guessed that Li Fan had abandoned his body, with his "incarnation" now housed in an item.
The scattered "Myriad Spirits" dry branches puppets and the Medicine King True Cauldron soaring into the sky.
Even any item scattered in the vicinity could potentially contain a trace of Li Fan's true spirit.
The best time to identify has passed, and even now, Mr. Bai cannot determine where Li Fan has gone.
Fortunately...
He did not come for this purpose in the first place.
With a wave of his sleeve, a force emerged from him, gradually calming the chaotic script fluctuations in Longevity Valley.
Mr. Bai flew to the valley and stood in front of a group of pale but determined-looking children.
He didn't care about leveling the ruins on the ground and simply sat down.
He showed a gentle and kind smile, "Come here, children. There's not much time left."
Mr. Bai's aura was calm and gentle, making people forget the calamity they had just experienced and involuntarily relax.
The children looked at each other and obediently sat down.
These children, including Gu Xinghan, were the ones captured by Fang Zaiji and later taught the "Establishing Foundation with Myself" technique by Medicine King Zong.
Fang Zaiji had a secret method to discern people's aptitude, so these little kids had terrifying talents, surpassing Zhang Haobo and the others from the beginning.
Originally, Li Fan wanted to use them to comprehend the "Establishing Foundation with Myself" technique and unlock the secret of "Enlighten Oneself." Then, the final disk could completely shield against the "Heavenly Mystery Treasure Mirror."
However, circumstances took an unexpected turn. Li Fan, realizing his abnormality, was frightened by Mr. Bai and only thought of escaping for his life. He couldn't wait for one of them to succeed.
Fortunately, Mr. Bai, who had synchronized memories with Li Fan, was also aware of this situation.
"How is your practice of the 'Establishing Foundation with Myself' technique?" He asked in a deliberately slow and gentle tone, like an educator evaluating students.
Facing the teaching elder, the children were somewhat nervous.
No one dared to speak first for a while.
Fortunately, with Mr. Bai's continuous encouragement, they spoke one after another, expressing their insights.
Mr. Bai listened carefully, nodding occasionally.
Then, he examined the children's physical conditions one by one, showing a pensive expression.
This scene was observed by the three Harmony Dao experts from Medicine King Zong.
Not long ago, when the chaotic script domain was dispelled by Mr. Bai, their strength had completely recovered to normal.
However, being deterred by the terrifying strength of the opponent, they didn't dare to act recklessly.
They sent away irrelevant disciples and waited on the side, looking at Mr. Bai, who was earnestly discussing with the children, with inexplicable expressions. They didn't know what this big shot was up to.
"Old Fang, you have broad knowledge. Can you explain to me what happened?" Li San glanced at Li Fan's lifeless body, transmitted his voice, and asked.
"Do I need to say it? It's so obvious! Our sect master offended someone he shouldn't have, and the other party chased him to our doorstep! Even after using all means, he couldn't resist at all. To avoid implicating Medicine King Zong, he decisively chose to die nobly..."
Fang Zaiji sighed, "I'm quite familiar with this kind of thing."
Jiang Yushan remained silent, and Li San's eyes twitched.
"Dying like this isn't too bad." This thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Not to mention the various thoughts of the three Harmony Dao experts from Medicine King Zong.
Mr. Bai seemed to have truly forgotten everything else, patiently discussing the "Establishing Foundation with Myself" technique with the children as if he were a knowledgeable educator, without a hint of disdain because of their young age.
Every sentence deserves a response.
Friendly attitude.
Therefore, in a short period, these children have come to like Mr. Bai.
From passive to active, they chatted with him about the difficulties and insights encountered while practicing the "Establishing Foundation with Myself" technique.
After hearing the specific situations of the children, Mr. Bai, in a short time, offered thoughtful guidance to each of them.
Encouraging them to try practicing again.
Soon, one by one, the children closed their eyes and entered into cultivation.
Mr. Bai's eyes never left them, carefully observing every change in the children.
Nowadays, the Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang Realm is based on the principle of "creating a foundation through the illusion of heaven and earth."
The method of establishing a foundation with oneself seems to still be within the new system of techniques.
In reality, it has already broken free from constraints, truly defying the natural order.
Therefore, these children who attempted again soon opened their eyes one after another.
Their cultivation once again ended in failure.
Mr. Bai was not discouraged, as it was expected.
Patiently asking about the new problems they encountered, after checking their physical conditions, he quickly formulated improved cultivation plans.
Onlookers like Li San and others were inexplicably shocked by this scene.
"Teach according to their aptitude, equality for all living beings."
"This..."
As practitioners of ancient Dao, elders of the sect, their perspectives were naturally broad.
In an instant, they could see how astonishing Mr. Bai's actions were.
Being able to cultivate oneself and being able to teach others to cultivate were completely different concepts!
The three of them still didn't dare to disturb.
Fang Zaiji had a clever idea and took out a recording stone, planning to secretly record Mr. Bai's teaching scene.
This little action couldn't escape Mr. Bai's eyes.
He turned his head and glanced slightly.
Li San's breath suddenly stopped, afraid that Fang Zaiji's behavior might anger this powerful figure.
Fortunately, Mr. Bai did not choose to investigate further.
He just continued to instruct the group of children.
"He..."
"He is both teaching and learning."
Jiang Yushan, who had been silent, seemed to have discovered something.
A hint of shock flashed in her eyes as she transmitted her voice.
"Establishing Foundation with Myself..." This mysterious foundation-building technique was passed on to these children by Li Fan before his demise. As Li San recalled the content of the technique and carefully listened to Mr. Bai's explanation, his eyes gradually lit up.
In this way, Mr. Bai and this group of outstanding children.
Mutually becoming teachers for each other.
With a total of thirty-five bodies of varying constitutions as experimental subjects.
Continuously experimenting and refining the "Establishing Foundation with Myself" technique.
This originally extremely difficult and heaven-defying technique is undergoing updates at an unimaginable speed.
Time slowly passes during this process.
Finally...
The first child to successfully establish a foundation appears.
An inexplicable aura descends upon the scene.
Gu Xinghan suddenly stands up, observing his renewed body, and excitedly says, "Teacher..."
Before he finishes speaking, the entire Longevity Valley violently shakes.
Mr. Bai puts away the smile on his face and shields the children behind him.
Looking up at the sky, he says, "Finally, have you come."
