Chapter 253 The Lost Decade
Every time Li Fan woke up from seclusion, he would glance at the [Zhenzhen] panel and calculate the time based on his physiological age.
Anchoring 1 year is 20 years old, and so on.
In the twelfth life, he had also checked the Huanzhen panel many times.
But when the time suddenly jumped from the anchor of 29 years to the anchor of 39 years.
Li Fan couldn't detect any abnormality.
Even when he looked back on his twelfth life again and again, he failed to notice the "missing ten years" in his life.
This is partly due to fixed mindsets.
After all, in the cognition of most people, time is continuous and indivisible.
How is it possible that it is anchored at 29 years in the previous second and 39 years in the next second?
There is another more important reason, which is that there seems to be something that distorts his perception.
He inadvertently overlooked this point.
This is what is called "nothing strange is surprising".
What is going on?
Who stole my time?
Li Fan couldn't help but fall into deep fear.
Because of the unknown, there is fear.
If the Heavenly Doctor is strong, then he will be strong.
But at least there is a concrete image there.
Li Fan is not his opponent in this life.
But reincarnation ten times, a hundred times...
With infinite reincarnation, one day I will grow to the same height as him.
Eventually defeated it.
But this unknown existence made Li Fan feel powerless for the first time.
He didn't even know who the other person was or how he stole the time that originally belonged to him.
What made Li Fan even more terrified was that the various influences it exerted on him were still impossible to get rid of even after [Returning True].
This means that the other party is very likely to be of the same status as [Huan Zhen].
At the very least, the opponent's power is already very close to [Huan Zhen].
This is the real source of Li Fan’s fear.
All along, [Zhen Zheng] has been Li Fan's reliance for longevity.
This is the source of Li Fan’s confidence that allows him to remain calm no matter how powerful the enemy is.
No matter how big the crisis is, just silently repeat "True" in your heart.
The transformation from real to virtual, everything returns to the starting point.
The crisis will disappear.
But now, Huanzhen's absolute dominance is threatened...
He Zhenghao and He Xinxin, father and daughter, also noticed that Li Fan's expression was not right.
He Xinxin was about to ask a question, but was stopped by He Zhenghao and shook his head.
The fear lingered in my heart for a long time.
Fortunately, Li Fan is determined after all.
Having experienced too many life-threatening situations, Li Fan slowly calmed down the fear in his heart as this was just a threat from the past that was not fatal.
Analyze it carefully.
Soon, he noticed something unusual about this incident.
After straightening his face, Li Fan asked He Zhenghao: "Fellow Daoist He, where did Xinxin's deduction technique come from? Can you tell me a little bit?"
Although it was a question, the look in his eyes indicated that no one could be refused.
He Zhenghao hesitated for a while, and had to explain: "My daughter's deduction technique is called [Daowang Tianluo]."
"It is a deduction spell tailored for her based on her companion magical object, the Daowen Compass."
"The specific quality can barely be considered as a half-heavenly wonder."
At this point, He Zhenghao couldn't help but show a hint of pride on his face.
"A companion magical object?" Li Fan's heart moved.
There are relevant records in "On Strange Things".
Some cultivators have rare items of heaven and earth in their bodies since birth.
These strange objects all have their extraordinary features and are extremely compatible with the cultivator himself.
However, this situation is extremely rare, and the book only mentions it in one sentence without spending too much time describing it.
Anyone who has a companion magical object in his body will be nourished by the laws of the magical object since the womb.
The speed of cultivation is incredibly fast, and anyone who can survive and grow up safely is undoubtedly a genius.
I didn’t expect that He Xinxin belonged to this category.
No wonder he has already established a foundation at such a young age.
Li Fan looked at the little girl and thought to himself.
He Xinxin was stared at by Li Fan, and she felt inexplicably nervous.
"Xinxin, please explain to Uncle Li the derivation principle of [Daowang Tianluo]."
He Zhenghao spoke out.
He Xinxin nodded when she heard this. Out of trust in her father, she was not on guard.
He then explained to Li Fan in a soft voice.
“Human beings are born between heaven and earth, just like living in a giant net.”
"Every action you take will have an impact on the people, things and objects around you."
“Those who cannot transcend will inevitably be influenced by other people and things.”
"They are intertwined and interact with each other to form everything in the world."
"Everything that happens in this world will leave traces."
"By observing the various traces left on the giant web, one can know everything about the world."
"This net is called [Dao Net Tianluo]. The traces left by it are [Dao Seal Erosion Script]."
…
As the little girl told the story, Li Fan's doubts were resolved.
The ten years that he had been spending in Daoyuan Prefecture were stolen from him. This happened in his twelfth life.
He Xinxin is just a foundation-building cultivator. No matter how talented he is, it is absolutely impossible for him to see through [Huan Zhen] and calculate what happened nearly a hundred generations ago.
Even the unknown existence that stole ten years of his time was of extremely high status, and it was not something He Xinxin could calculate.
But she somehow saw the clue.
This is because...
A bitten apple...
It is different from a whole apple.
Similarly, the creatures whose time has been stolen by this mysterious existence must be different from other normal creatures.
It has a unique scent.
Although through [Huan Zhen], Li Fan returned to the time before the time was stolen.
But it has not been able to completely get rid of its influence.
The fact that Li Fan had been unaware of this before is proof of this.
He Xinxin's [Daowang Tianluo] did not directly calculate [Huanzhen] and the unknown existence that stole time.
However, by deducing Li Fan, we were able to glimpse the influence of [it], and thus were able to restore what happened to Li Fan.
Li Fan even speculated that if He Xinxin were asked to deduce the results of any cultivator in Yuandao Province, she would not be able to predict the same result as Li Fan.
That is something that a foundation-building cultivator cannot perceive.
Even if you have the half-magic [Daowen Compass] as your foundation, it won't work.
If I must give an analogy.
The unknown existence that steals time is like a black hole.
It silently stretched across the sky above Yuandaozhou.
Every once in a while, ten years of the state's time is swallowed up.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to directly discover its existence through ordinary observation and deduction methods.
But because of [Zhen Zhen], Li Fan escaped from the black hole.
The effects of the black hole did not disappear.
So Li Fan was like the distorted light around a black hole.
With his help, we can infer that [it] stole time in Yuandao Province.
