Not fast enough?
To go from the first level of the Heavenly Palace to the third level in eight years—that speed would scare people to death if word got out.
This is the Heavenly Palace, not the Jade Pool.
Top-grade immortal stones and fruits can indeed accelerate cultivation, but the most essential Daoist principles still need to be comprehended by oneself.
However, upon further reflection, the person before him was someone who, according to the divination, would protect the Black Dragon Clan in the future, so this speed was indeed a bit slow for him.
"Li Fan, is there any way to make up for that missing bit of feeling?"
Ao Zhan asked, "If possible, I'll try to think of a way for you!"
"This is a bit difficult; my Daoist aura is somewhat unique!"
Li Fan looked troubled and said, "What I pursue is freedom, freedom without any constraints."
Although staying in seclusion in Longyuan is safe, there's always a sense of unease.
The urge to wander everywhere always keeps popping up in my mind, hard to suppress.
"Dragon Emperor, do you understand this feeling?"
This feeling wasn't obvious at first, but it became more and more apparent over time.
Li Fan's post-apocalyptic survival experience constantly reminded him that such inexplicable whims were never good.
What awaits you might be a huge pitfall.
But when Ao Yao's Dao Heart was shattered and he was sent back, this feeling became like a demon in his heart.
The path of Daoist cultivation, which was originally smooth, has now become extremely difficult.
Although his physique was still improving thanks to the effects of top-grade immortal stones and top-grade spiritual fruits, the stagnation of his Daoist cultivation made Li Fan feel very awkward.
"Wild? No, that's not right!"
Ao Zhan frowned and immediately realized the problem: "Although I haven't known you for very long, you are completely different from Ao Yao. It's possible that he can't stay at home and wanders around, but you can't possibly have such thoughts."
Release your Daoist energy and continue your practice. Let me see where the problem lies!
"Thank you for your trouble, senior!"
Li Fan's internal energy merged, and the projection of the three heavenly palaces appeared behind him.
At the same time, the Daoist aura of the dragon soared out like billowing smoke.
As this Daoist aura appeared, Ao Zhan flicked out streams of magical power from his fingers.
Once the magic power was fully established, Ao Zhan gently increased the intensity.
As this power was poured in, Li Fan began to feel the pressure.
The speed at which his internal energy circulated increased, and the meridians in his body rose like dragons and snakes from the land.
The one bearing the heaviest pressure is naturally the Daoist aura that billows like smoke from a battle.
The existence of the Great Luo, even its projection, is enough to instill despair in people.
The pressure coming from all directions constrained Li Fan's Daoist aura.
The previously stagnant Daoist energy began to struggle under pressure, striving to transform towards a higher realm.
But at that moment, Li Fan's consciousness briefly went blank.
The Daoist aura, billowing like smoke from a wolf's beacon, also began to swirl back.
"Found you!"
Ao Zhan clenched his fist and then gently pulled.
Tear—
Li Fan's Daoist aura was as thin as a piece of paper, precisely divided by his magical power.
A splash of crimson appeared within the Daoist aura.
Ao Zhan's left hand, which had remained motionless, suddenly shot out and directly struck the crimson stain.
Come out here!
Buzz—
A rumbling sound suddenly echoed throughout the entire secret realm.
The vibrating sound waves appeared out of nowhere and spread in all directions.
Even Ao Zhan's expression changed slightly!
Dojo!
As soon as Ao Zhan thought of it, the Daoist temple of the fourth Tai Xuan Heaven, which was high in the Nine Heavens, suddenly descended.
The original body, which had been residing in the dojo, also appeared.
When the Dao merges with the body, it directly suppresses the spreading sound waves.
At the same time, the crimson hue within Li Fan's Daoist aura was also successfully extracted.
That crimson hue, like a thin ribbon, looked extremely eerie.
"The red spider lily? How could it be this monstrosity?!"
Ao Zhan frowned and used the power of the Great Dao to imprison the ribbon-like petals.
But no matter how he tried to block it, the petals of the red spider lily that had been removed began to dissipate.
At the same time, Li Fan regained consciousness, "So that's what it was!"
"How did you get this stuff?"
Ao Zhan couldn't help but ask, "Theoretically, the only place in all the worlds where this thing exists is the Eastern Mausoleum Dreamland. Have you actually been to that godforsaken place?"
The Eastern Mausoleum Dreamland is a famous forbidden area in the Azure Sky Domain, a sacred place for adventurers from all the heavens and myriad worlds.
When Ao Zhan was young, he had been to that place.
But ever since he broke through to the Great Luo realm, he has never been to that place again.
That awful place gave him the creeps.
Just how much karma is still attached to Li Fan?
The City of the Wrongfully Dead, the Snow Maiden, the Dream of the Eastern Tomb—are these all there is?
I don't think so!
At least the means by which he was able to escape the City of the Dead from the Snow Maiden's control clearly have a secret behind them!
Holy crap, I didn't realize how much I was shocked when I calculated it.
With four sides clashing, are they all just using Li Fan as bait?
Even though Ao Zhan was already a Daoist of the Fourth Tai Xuan Heaven, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
The Fourth Tai Xuan Heaven is both a realm of Daluo and a place name.
Legend has it that the Immortal Ancestor and the Dragon Ancestor jointly opened the path to immortality, splitting the nine heavens to establish the Great Luo realm.
The nine heavens are the first Zixia Heaven, the second Zixiao Heaven, the third Ziyun Heaven, the fourth Taixuan Heaven, the fifth Taimiao Heaven, the sixth Taihuang Heaven, the seventh Wugen Heaven, the eighth Wuwo Heaven, and the ninth Wushang Heaven. The Great Luo Ascension to Heaven is from the first to the ninth heaven.
However, nowadays, the powerful figures of the latter three days basically only exist in history.
The Snow Woman was a powerful figure in history, but she may have already transcended the Great Luo Nine Heavens.
Although the Eastern Mausoleum Dream Realm is mysteriously connected to reincarnation, the master of the Three Lives Ancient Mirror, which is its counterpart, is definitely a Ninth Supreme Heaven powerhouse.
If we look at it this way, holy crap... so the entity behind the Eastern Tomb Dream might actually be the weakest?
It's terrifying to think about, truly terrifying!
Without a comparison, Ao Zhan hadn't thought about this issue carefully.
Now, with the Eastern Mausoleum Dream as a reference point, he had a concrete understanding for the first time just how terrifying the secrets behind Li Fan were.
"I've never been to the Eastern Mausoleum Dreamland. The reason I got infected with this stuff is because I killed someone in the Ascension Battlefield!"
After Li Fan finished recounting how he killed Dongling Yimeng, Ao Zhan looked helpless: "Dongling Yimeng is like chewing gum; once you're stuck with it, you can't escape."
The reason you are affected is because the source of its influence on you has been isolated by the ancestral land of my clan.
It wants you to go out, and then pull you back in someday.
As for what will happen, I don't know.
To solve this problem, unless someone blows up the Eastern Mausoleum Dreamland...
Or... should we really go and destroy the Eastern Mausoleum Dreamland?
A thought suddenly popped into Ao Zhan's mind.
