Chapter 232: Hundreds of Calamities
"You have an excellent talent for cultivation..."
"Perhaps it was just encouragement from Third Senior Brother before his death."
"If he really had such amazing talent, how could he have stopped at the Golden Core stage during his lifetime?"
"It will take thousands of years of absorbing and tempering the power of the earth fire to achieve the state of transformation."
"He took an unconventional approach and saved the country in a roundabout way. Although he eventually became a Divine Transformation cultivator, it definitely has nothing to do with his extraordinary talent."
Li Fan shook his head and sighed secretly.
After a while, Li Fan began to summarize the information he had gained during this period.
When he first entered the Yunshui Palace, Li Fan learned from Qin Tang and Chong Dao Ren that a large-scale and extremely brutal war had taken place in ancient times.
Although he didn't know whether it was affected by the Changsheng Tianzun's ability to forget worries, Li Fan was unable to find any relevant records in the Tianxuan Mirror.
But later in [Searching for Immortality], the horrific war scenes experienced by the cultivator named Bu Er Ren hinted that this war did exist.
According to Tianyang Zhenren's [Eternal Memories], Li Fan had a deeper understanding of the cruelty of this war.
Even the ordinary small mountain sects in the world of immortal cultivation at that time were almost completely destroyed.
One can imagine how brutal this war was.
Which two parties are fighting?
And what are we fighting for?
Tianyang's senior brother Si Xing once contemptuously called the other side of the war "barbarians".
But judging from the results of the battle, the opponent's strength is definitely not weak.
The ten great immortal sects won in the end.
But it can only be said to be a pyrrhic victory.
During his constant reincarnation, Li Fan had encountered powerful people with the cultivation level of He Dao.
He knew clearly how terrifying the Hedao monks were.
However, in ancient times, there were many powerful people who had mastered the Dao.
But at least there are quite a few of them in those powerful sects.
Not to mention, among the ten great immortal sects, there must be the existence of the Eternal Heavenly Venerable.
Just thinking about it, you can understand what a terrifying force these sects will become when they unite.
What kind of enemy can push the immortal cultivators to the point of near desperation?
Li Fan was full of doubts.
The truth is hidden in the mist of history. Even though Li Fan has had many opportunities, he has only gotten a glimpse of it so far.
In order to truly understand what happened, Li Fan needs more information.
Thinking of this, Li Fan quietly suppressed the trivial thoughts about the ancient war in his mind.
Turning to think about another thing.
"During the era of the great war, the sects were extremely prosperous. The alliance of the ten great immortal sects had absolute dominance over the entire world of immortal cultivation."
"The jade slips left by Third Senior Brother Lian Chang of Tianyang did not record the cultivation method of 'Fake Wonders of Heaven and Earth'."
“So it can be inferred that the [Ancient War Period] should be before the Immortal Lord’s reform.”
“Perhaps it is because of this great war that these ancient sects suffered heavy losses.”
"Only the new method of the Immortal Lord can have space and soil to fully develop."
“[The period of reform] arrives, and the new laws eventually replace the old ones.”
"But after many years, the world of immortal cultivation has returned to its former glory."
"However, the cultivators' plundering of heaven and earth brought back the backlash from heaven and earth. The Dharma cannot be practiced together, and the [Great Disaster Period] suddenly arrived."
"In the early days of the Great Tribulation, although fighting was inevitable, the overall order was still maintained."
"But as time goes by, more and more monks are reaching the end of their lives. Collapse is inevitable."
"At this critical moment, the miasma of immortals and mortals broke out. This is called the [Great Plague Period]."
"Choose the lesser of two evils. Under the threat of the immortal-mortal miasma, the immortal cultivators have no choice but to stop killing each other and find a way to solve the immortal-mortal miasma."
"Massacre of mortals is counterproductive. We can only migrate them as a whole to the surrounding small worlds."
"When there are no more mortals in this world, the problem of immortal-mortal miasma will be completely solved."
"True chaos and bloodshed have arrived. The orthodox order of the immortal cultivation world that has lasted for who knows how many thousands of years has collapsed in one day. Everything is swept away, and all the cultivators are like ants, struggling to survive."
"I would like to call this period the Great Dark Ages."
"No matter how dark the day is, it will eventually pass. When the number of monks dropped to a certain limit, the killing finally stopped."
"At this time, the world of immortal cultivation has long become a wasteland. Only the lonely immortal cultivators who survived the Great Dark Age live in this desolate land."
“You can call it the Wasteland Period.”
"After that, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association were established, and a new order of immortal cultivation reappeared in the Xuanhuang Realm."
Li Fan sorted out all the things he had seen and heard since entering the world of immortal cultivation.
A clear historical context slowly emerged.
"The vitality of the immortal cultivators' civilization is truly tenacious." Li Fan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"Even after experiencing such disasters, even if we are almost completely destroyed, we can still take root and sprout again from the ruins."
But I also thought that my future opponents might be old monsters who survived these disastrous times.
Li Fan couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.
However, he was not afraid.
“I can fail as many times as I want.”
"But no matter what your level is, if you fail once, you will lose completely."
"Why should I be afraid?"
"I will kill anyone who prevents me from living forever."
Li Fan had already seen that the Xuanhuang Realm of this new order was somewhat similar to the "Ding Fish".
If you want to survive, it is not enough to just become the new fish king.
Only by escaping the collective hunting of those ancient fish kings who are eyeing them covetously can one be truly qualified to control his own destiny.
My mood slowly calmed down.
But the virtual world has not ended yet.
Li Fan guessed that Tianyang’s “plot” had not yet ended.
Anyway, in this world similar to the Fallen Wonderland, the flow of time is inconsistent with the real world.
Li Fan was not in a hurry to go out.
So he simply stayed in this Taoist cave, using Tianyang's body to practice [Transforming His Body into Freedom].
Practicing ancient methods is still a novel experience for Li Fan.
Not as direct and crude as the new law.
It focuses more on the understanding of the exercises themselves, as well as the feelings and thoughts about the Tao.
Compared to the mechanical and repetitive hard practice in the new method of practice.
The practice of the old method gave Li Fan a feeling of greater autonomy and enjoyment.
Of course, this is also because Li Fan’s body at this time is a body that Tianyang Zhenren can practice.
If a mortal did not have the qualifications to practice cultivation, he would certainly not be so happy.
No rare items from heaven and earth are needed after one has achieved perfection in Qi Refining.
As if it was a natural progression, Li Fan borrowed Tianyang's body and broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
After that, he made rapid progress, reaching the middle stage of foundation building, the late stage of foundation building...
It did not stop until the foundation was completed.
