Chapter 414 Fulfilling Tianyang's Wish
After swallowing the medicine, Li Fan felt a little more energetic.
Use the efficacy of the medicine as a seesaw to stimulate the hidden power in the body.
"puff!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood, which scared his master Guang Yangzi.
The "Creation Furnace Technique" has already begun to operate.
Guangyangzi hurriedly went to prepare medicinal herbs for Li Fan.
Li Fan took this opportunity to carefully check his physical condition.
While recalling the relevant case records in the "Tianyi Xianjing", I was thinking about how to deal with the situation.
My body was too weak and I felt dizzy after just a moment.
So I can only empty my mind and rest quietly.
After accumulating a little more strength, continue thinking.
Repeat this process.
Three days later, Li Fan combined the "Heavenly Medical Immortal Scripture" to improve the prescription he had taken during the second [Simulation] process.
After some persuasion, he finally succeeded in convincing Guang Yangzi to change the medicine.
The new prescription was highly effective.
In addition, the "Creation Furnace Technique" continuously improves the physical condition.
After two months, Li Fan was able to walk again.
"Junior brother, you are so awesome! I didn't expect the prescription to be so effective! How did you know?" Second senior brother Ling Xiao asked while supporting Li Fan.
"That's how it appeared in my mind!" Li Fan said innocently with his eyes wide open.
"Junior brother is extraordinary! Maybe he is the hope for the revival of our [Body Transformation Dao]!" Third senior brother Lian Chang couldn't help but admire him.
Li Fan just laughed foolishly.
“The first step was a success.”
"The next key is to become stronger than Senior Brother Si Xing within six years before the Immortal Conquest Order arrives."
"Go to the war on his behalf, so as to avoid witnessing the tragic scene of the incarnations dying one after another."
"This is what Master Tianyang is obsessed with."
Li Fan pondered in his heart.
"Senior Brother Si Xing has reached the Golden Core stage. If you want to surpass him within six years, practicing step by step is nothing but a fool's dream."
“We have to find another way.”
Li Fan's eyes flashed.
On this day, he found his master Guangyangzi in private.
"Transform yourself?" Guang Yangzi's face changed drastically when faced with his little disciple's question.
"Where did you hear that? Is it that little bastard Ling Xiao gossiping again?" Guangyangzi was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, cursing.
"Master, I thought of it myself." Li Fan said seriously.
"The mysterious and wonderful thing about the [Body Transformation into Others] technique that we practice in the Body Transformation Dao is that it can be borrowed from external objects."
"But it suddenly occurred to me, what is an external object?"
"The eldest brother's sword, the second brother's pen, and the third brother's clock are all external objects."
"Then can my frail body be considered an external object?"
"Through the continuous refinement of the technique, the brothers' [avatars] are becoming stronger and stronger. If I can use my own body as an [avatar], doesn't that mean that I can change my own physique?"
"I will never be as weak as I am now."
Li Fan spoke word by word.
Guang Yangzi's expression was also constantly changing.
After a long moment, he sighed.
"Tianyang, you are truly a genius! You have such insight at such a young age, really..."
Guangyangzi stroked Tianyang's head and said with some satisfaction: "It would be great if I could become a Taoist disciple like this!"
"Yes, practicing the [Body Transformed into Others] technique can indeed achieve [Body Transformed into Self]."
Guangyangzi's expression suddenly became serious. He looked at Li Fan and said solemnly, "But, my disciple, you must not try it."
Li Fan looked up at his master, his face full of confusion: "Why, Master?"
Guang Yangzi looked a little dazed, stunned for a moment, and then explained to Li Fan: "It is easy to transform into him, the most important thing is [the unity of man and nature]."
"Transforming oneself into the self is theoretically feasible. It is also the most perfect choice among all the exercises."
"but……"
Guangyangzi sighed.
"Too difficult! Too difficult!"
"Compared to ordinary objects, how complex is the human body?"
"Objects can seek compatibility with themselves through constant experimentation. If there are any mistakes during the training process, only the incarnation will be damaged."
“To embody oneself, one must always use one’s own body as a testing ground.”
"If you make the slightest mistake, you'll be seriously injured."
"The physical loss is secondary. The most terrible thing is the mental damage."
A trace of sadness flashed in Guang Yangzi's eyes: "Once upon a time, I had a senior brother who was extremely talented. His talent was so high that I have never seen anyone better than him in my life."
"At that time, he was recognized within the sect as 'the first person to achieve body transformation in a thousand years', and Master had high hopes for him."
"But he was arrogant and thought that he would be able to succeed in practicing [self-transformation]."
"Ignoring everyone's dissuasion, I forced myself to practice."
"result……"
Guang Yangzi paused.
"At first he was just a little crazy, and everyone was trying to heal him."
"But later, his madness became more serious. He was completely unable to distinguish between reality and fantasy."
"One night, a massacre took place."
"The number of dead is countless."
"From then on, our incarnation of Taoism was in tatters and could not recover..."
At this point, Guang Yangzi shook his head slightly.
"So, my dear disciple, remember this. Don't ever try it!" Guang Yangzi warned very seriously.
Li Fan nodded heavily: "Yes! Got it, Master!"
After saying goodbye to Guangyangzi, Li Fan returned to his room.
After thinking for a long time, Li Fan gave up the idea of forcibly practicing to transform himself.
Just like [Building the Foundation with Myself], this transformation of the self is indeed not something that ordinary people can do.
Judging from the later situation of Master Tianyang, he did not choose this path either.
"puppet……"
Thinking back to the puppet that became a god several years later, Li Fan gradually came up with an idea in his mind.
The next day, Li Fan found several senior brothers and told them that he wanted a puppet.
"Don't worry, Junior Brother. Leave it to me! Recently, my thoughts have been flowing like a spring, and I have written several books in a row. They are the best works of my career!" Second Senior Brother Ling patted his chest and promised. "I will take it to the market to sell it, and choose the most handsome puppet for you!"
…
A few days later, Li Fan got what he wished for and obtained a mechanical puppet.
Ling smiled with satisfaction: "Junior brother, this puppet is said to have the strength of a golden elixir. I also spent a lot of effort to buy it from someone!"
"Brother, you are so awesome! Thank you, Brother!" After Li Fan praised, he picked up the puppet and ran away.
"Junior brother's health is recovering better and better!" Ling Xiao exclaimed.
In the secret room.
Li Fan placed the puppet in front of him and cut a wound in his hand.
Let the blood drip on it.
At the same time, he started practicing the "Becoming Others" technique, feeling every slight change happening on the puppet while practicing.
Li Fan gave up his plan to transform himself.
But I didn't give up completely.
His plan can actually be seen as an embodiment of the self under certain special circumstances.
Even more extreme.
That is to abandon one's own physical body and completely transform oneself into a puppet.
Just like what the real Tianyang Zhenren did in history.
But later Tianyang chose to absorb the earth fire to temper and improve the puppet.
Li Fan’s answer was to become a puppet and then transform into himself.
This is undoubtedly a self-destructive approach.
The difference between the upper limit of a Jindan puppet and that of a human body cannot be measured in miles.
But for Li Fan, who urgently wants to improve his combat power, it is the best choice.
The difficulty of practicing [Transformation into Self] with a puppet body is greatly reduced.
First, the precision of puppets is far inferior to that of human bodies, making it easier to achieve "unity of self and nature".
Second, you don’t have to worry about getting hurt.
Repairing a puppet is much easier as long as there are enough materials.
And when the puppet's [self-transformation] practice is completed, the combat power that can be unleashed in the state of unity between man and nature is several times stronger than simply using the puppet as an [incarnation].
"The first thing to do is to abandon the body and merge into the puppet."
Li Fan practiced the method of "Transforming His Body into Another's Freedom" extremely smoothly.
"It should be because Tianyang's body is a premature baby, and his soul and body are not very coordinated." Li Fan said thoughtfully.
In this way, without telling the other people, Li Fan began his own practice plan.
This plan was so bizarre that even Guang Yangzi did not notice the changes that had taken place in his little disciple.
I just feel that he really likes the puppet that Ling Xiao bought for him, to the point where he almost never leaves it.
And just like that, time flies.
In the blink of an eye, six years passed.
The immortal bell rings, and the order to summon the immortals arrives.
The three brothers, who were masters of the Shenhua Dao sect, started arguing over who should apply for the job.
At this moment, Li Fan and his puppet suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Senior Brother Si Xing, Senior Brother Ling Xiao, Senior Brother Lian Chang."
"I think I'll go."
Ling Xiao and the other two looked at Li Fan, whose face was full of seriousness, and were extremely shocked.
"Junior brother, what are you talking about? This is not a joke..." Ling Xiao was talking and suddenly froze.
Because the words just now were actually spoken by the puppet following behind Li Fan.
“Bang! Bang!”
The puppet stepped forward and came in front of the three people.
"Going to join the battle is a life-or-death struggle. If we are going, we must be the strongest among us!"
"Brother, what do you think?"
Li Fan looked at Si Xing and the other two and asked softly.
"Tianyang! You! Are you kidding me?" Guangyangzi was the first to see the changes that took place in Li Fan in an instant.
His face turned pale and he wanted to move forward, but he stopped as he thought of something.
Just his slightly trembling hands showed how uneasy he felt.
"You, had expected this day to come?"
Guang Yangzi asked stammeringly.
Li Fan smiled but did not answer.
Looking at several senior brothers: "Please give me some advice, senior brothers!"
The three brothers gradually came back to their senses.
Looking at his junior brother's body that had turned into a puppet, his eyes were filled with regret and sadness.
For a moment, they stayed where they were, not knowing what to say.
It was the eldest brother who took action first.
He summoned his own sword, which was as thin as a cicada's wing and as green as a drop of water, and pointed it at Li Fan from a distance.
"Junior brother, actually, just leave this matter to me."
"How can a senior brother let his junior brother go to die?!"
Li Fan flashed, waved his fist, and came to the side of the eldest senior brother.
"Brother, please don't underestimate me!"
Feeling the huge force coming at him, Si Xing's expression changed a little.
The long sword was flying, trying to stop Li Fan.
But the sword that was once indestructible did not leave even a trace when it hit Li Fan.
The body of this puppet is not only extremely hard.
The speed is also several points faster than that of ordinary Jindan cultivators.
As the moves are opened and closed, all kinds of strange mechanisms will be shot out from different corners of the body.
For a moment, Si Xing had no choice but to dodge in embarrassment.
"Junior Brother Tianyang, it seems that you really put a lot of effort into this. However, if this is the case, I cannot let you go in my place!"
"Be careful!"
Si Xing raised his brows, and his figure turned into a stream of light, merging into one with the green sword.
“Zheng!”
The long sword trembled slightly, making a crisp sound.
Then the sword body extended forward and backward like flowing water.
"Sword Water Tianxin!"
The eldest brother's light shout rang out from the sword.
The sword light like a stream of water came in an instant.
After hitting Li Fan's puppet body, it was not resisted and dissipated like before.
Instead, it returns like a ray of light.
It flowed in the air for a moment, then changed direction in an instant and attacked Li Fan again from the other side.
It was still bounced back by Li Fan's hard body.
It draws an arc and arrives in an instant.
The flowing sword light became faster and faster, and it looked like a giant water-shaped net slowly wrapping up the bulky puppet in the center.
At this moment it is just a puppet body and most of its magical powers cannot be used.
Under Si Xing's continuous attack, Li Fan gradually fell into a disadvantage.
"The ancient cultivators are indeed not to be underestimated."
Li Fan thought so and his face became serious.
The puppet roared towards the sky, and its body emitted a dark red light.
It changed during the vibration, and in a flash, the human-shaped body disappeared.
Instead, there was a huge palm.
The giant palm flexibly bypassed the sword light blockade formed by Jianshui Tianxin and came above the water net.
Expand again.
The shadow range enveloped the entire water sword, and then pressed down on the head.
However, he used the [Heaven-shaking Palm] that he had comprehended.
With the help of the puppet's huge body, it has the charm of suppressing everything.
“What a magical power!”
Senior Brother Si Xing shouted excitedly.
"I also have a move, please teach me, Junior Brother!"
"Heaven's will is like water, it is invisible and unseen!"
"Sword name: Tianxing!"
The water sword flowing under the Fantian Palm disappeared instantly.
Li Fan, however, felt a sense of inexplicable crisis.
“Swish!”
An invisible sword light flashed.
Before the giant palm could press down, a fine scratch appeared on the back of the hand.
Li Fan stared at this space.
But no trace of Si Xing could be found.
Another sword mark appeared.
Li Fan mobilized his spiritual power and tried to repair his injuries.
However, he discovered that there seemed to be invisible sword energy attached to the sword mark, which suppressed the healing of the wound.
The sword marks appeared faster and faster.
In a flash, Li Fan's body was covered with wounds.
"Junior brother, surrender!"
Si Xing's voice came from all directions.
He himself was always nowhere to be found.
"Senior brother is also very powerful!"
Li Fan praised sincerely.
"but……"
Li Fan suddenly raised his voice.
"I still have one more move. If you can block it, I will admit defeat immediately!"
"Okay! I'll wait and see!" Si Xing responded.
Li Fan restrained his momentum.
After a while, he said to his second senior brother Ling Xiao: "Senior brother Ling Xiao, please lend me your pen!"
"Ah?" Ling Xiao was stunned at first.
"Oh, okay!" Then an ink pen flew over and was held by Li Fan.
Pouring his spiritual power, Li Fan made it happen with one move in the air.
That is...
A word: "chaos".
The moment the word chaos descended, terrible cracks suddenly appeared on Li Fan's body.
Unable to maintain the shape of the giant hand any longer, it turned back into a humanoid puppet and fell to the ground.
"This consumption..."
Li Fan was somewhat shocked.
The hard body made of special stone is crumbling.
There were even many places that exploded directly.
This was the magical power that Li Fan gained from his study of the Chaos Stone in the Mystery Realm. Its power was far beyond Li Fan's expectations.
Even the practitioner suffered such terrible side effects.
Not to mention the senior brother Si Xing who faced the word "chaos" head-on.
Tianxing's state faded away, and he appeared in a disheveled state.
But in front of the word chaos, he was unable to move.
The spiritual energy in the body is running wild and cannot be controlled.
The green sword, as the incarnation, was running around like a headless fly.
"puff!"
Si Xing's arm broke strangely in the opposite direction, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.
Because he realized that this change was about to happen to his entire body.
“That’s enough!”
At this critical moment, Guang Yangzi finally took action.
His incarnation is a willow tree.
The green willow stood in front of Si Xing, and its branches began to dance wildly.
After a long time, everything slowly calmed down.
The willow tree disappeared, and Guang Yangzi's hands behind his back trembled slightly.
Si Xing looked at Li Fan, who was lying on the ground and seriously injured, with complicated eyes.
"You win, Junior Brother," he said softly.
Li Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tianyang, what you just did..." Guangyangzi looked at his little disciple, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
After a moment, he sighed and gave up asking further questions.
"Never mind. I see that you have a big secret."
"However, it is a blessing for our poor little sect that you can condescend to us and transform into a Taoist."
Guangyangzi lost interest and waved his hand before leaving.
Si Xing didn't know what to say for a moment.
Only the second senior brother Ling Xiao shouted and hurriedly treated Li Fan's injuries.
…
For a puppet body, as long as there are enough materials, even the most serious injuries can be easily repaired.
Ling Xiao went to the market again, and not long after he came back, Li Fan recovered.
With the farewell of his master Guangyangzi and three senior brothers, Li Fan and the immortal envoy who came to urge them to leave the body-transforming path together.
Step onto the battlefield.
The surrounding scenery suddenly became still.
Then it exploded like broken glass.
It turned into specks of light and poured into Li Fan's mind.
The memories of Master Tianyang from thousands of years ago emerged with incredible clarity.
Including the [Body Transformation into Freedom] technique, the method of refining puppets, and even the [Earth Fire Ascension Array] which uses earth fire to upgrade the puppet's level, and so on, all of these are engraved in my mind as if I had experienced them personally.
But Li Fan didn't have time to check these at the moment.
Because his mind was completely attracted by the prompts from Huanzhen.
"Dead but still alive, the true spirit is immortal."
"Transform yourself into something, and travel through eternity."
"The [Avatar] feature has been unlocked."
