Chapter 673: The Desire to Become an Immortal
Everything happened naturally without any obstruction.
When Li Fan woke up from his retreat, he had successfully broken through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
"It's been seventeen years since we've been anchored..."
"After all, I only have the Enlightenment Pill to assist me, and without the spiritual awakening effect of the Heavenly Mysterious Mirror, it's a lot slower."
Checking his own condition. The size of the Five Elements Cave Heaven in his body has expanded by more than three times compared to the early stage of the Nascent Soul. The cave heavens are also becoming more and more full of vitality, not as dead and quiet as before. However, it is still a long way from the birth of creation. It's just that the flow of the Five Elements' power has become much faster, as if something is brewing in the cave heaven world.
Now Li Fan has achieved complete control over his own Five Elements Cave Heaven and this small world of beasts. It can be said that he is an existence similar to the Heavenly Dao itself.
But after comparing the two carefully, Li Fan noticed many differences.
The Five Elements Cave Heaven was stolen from the Xuanhuang Realm. Although it was strengthened and incorporated into his own body with a new method, it was just like even his own body, a mortal could not control it completely. The operation and evolution of the Cave Heaven were mostly spontaneous behaviors of the Cave Heaven, and were the result of the self-derivation of certain laws. Although he could clearly sense every change that occurred in the Cave Heaven, Li Fan at present could not fully understand it, let alone change and create it at will.
But the beast world is different. Wind, rain, thunder and lightning, ice, snow, fire, and the laws of the world are all in his mind. As long as Li Fan is willing, the beast world can be fixed in the same state in an instant, and it will never change in the future. At the same time, Li Fan can also transform the beast world as he wishes. It is common to raise mountains with one thought and level hundreds of rivers with one thought.
"Under normal circumstances, even if one uses some method to usurp the entire destiny of the small world, one cannot reach the state of doing whatever one wants like me in the early stage. It still requires years of perception and resonance with the origin of the world. But Xiao Hei has completed this process for me. I am just inheriting its mantle and taking advantage of it."
Li Fan looked at the familiar image in the black bird feather in his body, and he suddenly understood.
Returning to the Beast Realm, two years later, this place has undergone tremendous changes. The concentration of spiritual energy has soared to a level that is only slightly weaker than that of the Xuanhuang Realm. The originally desolate land has now become full of vitality.
Various spiritual plants and herbs were planted in different categories, and the animals working hard in the spiritual fields were beasts. However, there was no "beast control ring" mentioned by Fang Zaiji around their necks.
Li Fan's spiritual sense swept across the entire world and found that only the most powerful beasts had signs of being controlled.
"If you can control the upper ones, you can control the lower ones. It's true that you don't need to waste too much energy to deal with these beasts."
Liu San and Fang Zaiji were not in the beast world at this time. Li Fan passed through the space channel and came to the Changsheng Valley, only to find that the two of them were gathered together, seemingly discussing something.
Sensing Li Fan's presence, both of them showed a hint of joy on their faces.
"Master, you are out of seclusion!"
"What happened? Why do you look a little serious?" Li Fan asked in front of the other two.
"Congratulations, young master, for your further improvement!" Liu San looked at Li Fan and smiled.
Fang Zaiji directly explained to Li Fan why he and Liu San were so solemn.
About half a year ago, a group of monks from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance drove the Samantabhadra True Boat into the white fog. At first, Liu San thought their target was the Longevity Valley, and he treated it as a formidable enemy. He even mobilized all the monks from the Medicine King Sect and was ready to flee at any time.
But soon, Liu San found out that it was just a false alarm. They did not stop at the entrance of Changsheng Valley at all. The destination of the monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals League seemed to be deeper in the white fog.
This made Liu San feel relieved, thinking that the monks from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance might have just passed by by chance.
But what happened next made Liu San realize that he was totally wrong. In the past six months, at regular intervals, dozens of Samantabhadra boats filled with monks would sail into the depths of the white fog. They seemed to be carrying out some kind of mission, exuding a faint aura of killing. Occasionally, monks would retreat from the depths of the white fog, looking gloomy and miserable.
The general cultivation level of these monks was not very high, but for safety reasons, Liu San did not spy on them carefully and just looked at them from a distance.
Although the target of these Ten Thousand Immortals League monks is not Yaowang Sect, they pass by too frequently. No one can guarantee that they will find the location of Changsheng Valley by chance. And after finding it, will they conflict with Yaowang Sect?
So during this period of time, Liu San and Fang Zaiji were on edge.
"Is this a secret operation of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, or a high-profile act? Do ordinary cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance know about this?" After listening to the reports from the two, Li Fan's eyes flashed and he asked immediately.
"Ordinary cultivators are not aware of this. At least, that's what we have learned," Fang Zaiji replied.
Li Fan pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is a bit strange. We should remain unchanged in the face of all changes. I will make a decision after I go out and find out the truth."
Having great confidence in Li Fan's abilities, the two agreed immediately.
Then, Liu San took out twelve jade bottles and handed them over: "These are the pills I have refined during this period. Nine bottles contain eighty-one longevity pills, two bottles contain twenty supreme merciless pills. There is also one..."
Liu San paused, his face a little strange: "It is the [Mind Ascension Pill]."
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Liu." Li Fan put away the rest of the pills, took the jade bottle containing the Mind Ascension Pill in his hand, and was about to open it to check.
But he was suddenly stopped by Liu San.
"Is there anything wrong with this pill?" Li Fan asked with a frown.
Liu San smiled bitterly: "Although this pill is non-toxic, its actual harm is no less than any poison in the world."
"The Mind Immortality Pill is a special kind of pill that has a very small chance of being created during the process of refining the Supreme Merciless Pill. After swallowing it, any cultivator will have the illusion that they have realized the truth and are about to become an immortal." Fang Zaiji went on to explain.
"Moreover, the more they swallow, the stronger the illusion will be. In the end, those addicted monks will do anything just to get a taste of the immortality."
Li Fan subconsciously held the jade bottle tightly in his hand.
He knew what this so-called Mind Immortality Pill was.
"Back then, because this pill had caused a lot of trouble, it was absolutely banned under the rule of the Ten Immortal Sects. However, after all the disciples made inquiries, I have not heard of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance banning this pill."
"I thought this thing might be useful to the young master, so I didn't destroy it." Liu San said.
