NOVPUBThis time, in retrieving Heaven’s Oddities, Sacred Embryo Li Fan had already gained recognition in advance.
Thus, the Wood Sword did not obstruct him.
The profound aura contained in the Wood Sword slowly faded.
A mystical and profound fluctuation slowly emerged on Sacred Embryo Li Fan.
Xuanhuang Swordsmanship, at this moment, had completed its transfer.
With numerous rusty swords bending to see him off in the Sword Tomb, Sacred Embryo Li Fan paced away.
"With Heaven’s Oddities within, one could directly enter the Unity Realm."
"The Sword’s Tao Foundation, Sword Technique, Sword Transformation Cave Heaven. And…"
Li Fan, who had already transformed into a god, instantly understood the path that Sacred Embryo was to take.
"The inherent change of Xuanhuang Swordsmanship."
"After that, all that’s needed is to fully integrate Heaven’s Oddities within oneself, which is akin to devouring and completely mastering the Power of Heaven and Earth’s Law. Thus, becoming a Unity Immortal Monarch."
"Compared to ordinary New Method Cultivators, it’s indeed much easier. But as a price…"
"It almost completely cuts off the possibility of defying logic to achieve Longevity through proof of the Way. Much like Mr. Bai, as the Great Supreme Lord Xuan Huang, who rebelled against his own Principle of Heaven and Earth. Even if he astounded the world with a successful defiance, he could never escape the backlash of Heaven and Earth."
"The day of proving the Way, is the moment of downfall."
Sacred Embryo Li Fan’s spirit consciousness churned with thoughts as his realm also climbed step by step.
When he left the Sword Tomb, he was just entering the Foundation Establishment Phase.
But by the time he left Tian Youzhou, Sacred Embryo Li Fan had already advanced to the Golden Core Realm.
And when Sacred Embryo Li Fan appeared outside the White Mist Barrier that hid Roaring Abyss, he had stepped into the ranks of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Without deliberately absorbing, and with no hindrance whatsoever, Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Energy surged towards him and spontaneously entered Sacred Embryo Li Fan’s body.
Turning into a ladder for steady advancement.
"This is the benefit of being recognized by the Heavenly Dao."
"And this is just merely the path of the [Sword]. If it were the whole Xuanhuang Heaven Path, it’s unimaginable. No wonder Mr. Bai was able to ascend into godhood in one step and instantaneously achieve Longevity…"
With Heaven’s Oddities within, there’s no need for external resources for cultivation.
Furthermore, with the great momentum of Heaven and Earth actively cooperating, the speed of Sacred Embryo Li Fan’s cultivation was beyond conventional reasoning.
Sword Dao fluctuations spread out, pushing the Element Devouring White Fog away.
Sacred Embryo Li Fan turned into a streak of Sword Light, heading straight for Duan Zhang Immortal City.
When faint wails reminiscent of fierce ghosts reached his ears, Sacred Embryo Li Fan had become the same as his main form, both in the God Transformation Realm.
However, after breaking through to God Transformation, his understanding of his own Sword Dao evolution was somewhat lacking.
This caused the progression of his cultivation base to slow down suddenly.
"This life is to further study and refine, and in the future, if I start over, the progression will be even faster."
"Halt, who goes there!" a booming shout interrupted Sacred Embryo Li Fan’s train of thought.
At the same time, a figure stood in Li Fan’s way.
Clothed in Green Lustrous Scale Armor, holding a Heavy Halberd, pointing at a distance towards Li Fan.
"Who dares to trespass the Eternal Immortal Fortress?" the armored cultivator spoke with hostility.
Li Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he recognized the voice.
During the 114th lifetime, he was ordered to construct the [Tian Xuan Soul Locking Array] in the White Mist outside the Eternal Immortal Fortress.
Later, when Roaring Abyss suddenly changed, his station, Jia Xu, lost contact with the Immortal City.
Seeing that supplies were about to run out, Li Fan, with a Reverse Cultivation Dao Heart, set out alone from the station to return to the Immortal City, seeking rescue.
Although he encountered some setbacks on the way and accidentally entered the Chaotic Word Lost Realm,
he managed to escape unharmed and successfully broke free.
Ultimately, just before his life span was exhausted, he rushed back to Duan Zhang Immortal City at the limits of his strength.
He originally still had several decades of life left, but at the very last moment, a shout of "Who is this impudent upstart?" blocked his way.
Li Fan was forced to explain the situation and it delayed him further.
In the end, by the time he reached inside the Immortal City, his life was hanging by a thread with not much time left to live.
...
"Hmph!"
Sacred Embryo Li Fan gave the other party a faint glance and did not explain.
He simply pointed his finger like a sword and lightly tapped towards the front.
It seemed as if the White Mist that had always existed since ancient times was suddenly parted.
The wails from the Roaring Abyss were suppressed by the clear ringing of the sword’s cry.
The dazzling white Sword Light illuminated the space between Heaven and Earth.
The Eternal Immortal Fortress, built from the broken palm of the Ancient Heavenly Lord, and the terror-stricken Abyss with its soaring evil aura...
At this moment, under the illumination of Sacred Embryo Li Fan’s Sword Light, they were exposed with nowhere to hide, every detail revealed.
The vast Sword Light pierced through the figure standing in front of Li Fan, crossed over the Duan Zhang Immortal City, and plunged fiercely into the Roaring Abyss!
Heaven and Earth fell silent.
As if captivated by this world-shattering sword strike, the cries of the Abyss did not re-emerge for a long time.
Not until the White Mist slowly gathered and the torn wound healed did the Abyss once again hide beneath the White Mist.
Only then did the ghostly whispers and wails begin to retransmit, one after another.
But compared to their previous magnitude, they were vastly reduced.
Perhaps fearing that a loud voice would once again draw forth a strike from Li Fan’s sword.
Coming to their senses from the shock, the soldiers of the Qingxuan Army in the Eternal Immortal Fortress focused their attention on Li Fan’s position.
All were silent as birds and insects.
It seemed as if even the dense White Mist could not conceal the figure, who resembled a Sword Immortal.
No one knew better than these soldiers of the Qingxuan Army, who guarded the edge of the Abyss day and night, just how terrifying those Demon Sounds could be.
But at this moment, thousands of Demon Sounds were suppressed by a single sword.
What level of Cultivation Base was this?
The soldiers of the Qingxuan Army felt light-headed and blank-minded.
Sacred Embryo Li Fan, with his hands clasped behind his back, quietly looked straight ahead.
The Green Lustrous Scale Armor Cultivator standing in front of him had already become as still as sculpture.
Facing Li Fan’s sword strike, even though the Sword Light hadn’t harmed him, it was deeply engraved into his Spirit Consciousness.
From now on, aside from this Sword Light, he would not be able to accommodate anything else.
He appeared stupefied, showing no reaction to the outside world.
However, if he could comprehend Li Fan’s sword strike and absorb it, transforming it into his own understanding...
For him at the Nascent Soul Realm, this sword could be a tremendous Creation.
Even without resources to advance, this sword alone could allow him to slay enemies beyond his level.
For Li Fan today, there was no need to ensure that those who had offended him in the past received their due retribution.
If fate would have them meet again, a lesson would suffice.
Sacred Embryo Li Fan’s sword strike was mainly to demonstrate his prowess, to force out the leader of the Qingxuan Army, Shang Shaojun.
After all, showcasing one’s strength was a better prelude to negotiating ensuing matters.
As expected, faced with Li Fan standing aloft in the White Mist, not a single person in the Qingxuan Army dared to step forward to receive him.
Moments later, there were ripples in the White Mist.
A strange and fluctuating figure, like ripples on water, appeared before Li Fan.
"What a fine sword!"
"I have guarded the Roaring Abyss for many years and never thought such a person would appear in this world!"
Shang Shaojun scrutinized Li Fan, "What is Daoist Friend’s purpose for coming here?"
Li Fan pointed towards the Roaring Abyss not far below and said with a smile, "The Demon Sound is disturbing, irritating to the mind. I wish to wield my sword and enter the Abyss, to forever silence the Demon Sound."
"I wonder if Young Master is willing to accompany me?"
Sacred Embryo Li Fan looked sincerely and spoke earnestly.
