NOVPUB"Moreover, not long ago, the Union just received some news."
"In the upcoming decade, the Xuanhuang World will witness the birth of two of Earth’s Oddities."
"Indeed, two of them."
Ji Shaoli dropped a bombshell piece of information.
"One of them lies here in Misthaven Ocean. It is an [Ocean Pearl] harboring the infinite force of the vast ocean."
"The other one is in Guanglan Province. It is the [Cauldron of the Myriad Mountains] with a range of mountains growing within, infinitely profound."
The bodies of Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi couldn’t help but tremble slightly. 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝔬𝔪
"Earth’s Oddities?"
Such treasures were something they dared only dream about.
"If you are willing, the Union can help you acquire these two items," Ji Shaoli solemnly said.
Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi were stunned on the spot.
They just suspected they had heard wrong.
The two brothers...
What merit or ability did they have?
As if seeing the thoughts in their hearts, Ji Shaoli patted their shoulders, "Gentlemen, do not sell yourselves short. Although those who are called prodigies may surpass you greatly in family background and talent..."
"...the Union values one’s character the most!"
"Your ambitions, gentlemen, are not inferior to any of the prodigies I have encountered in my life!" Ji Shaoli declared emphatically.
Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi were dazed.
Am I really that strong?
This thought emerged in their minds.
"I believe, if you are given a high enough starting point, you will be capable of standing up to those prodigies!" Ji Shaoli’s voice was heavy.
"Are you willing?" he asked again.
Despite still finding it hard to believe that such a good fortune could befall them,
On second thought, what was there about the two of them that was worth deceiving?
If by some stroke of luck, they could indeed acquire one of Earth’s Wonders...
Then even if they died, there would be no regrets, right?
The two who had struggled in the wilderness for half their lives immediately nodded repeatedly.
"If I can indeed use one of Earth’s Wonders for Foundation Establishment, I would gladly lay down my life for the Union!" Kou Hong said with all sincerity.
Dao Xuanzi was equally fervent in his oath.
"Good! Then it’s settled," Ji Shaoli immediately decided.
With casual ease, he allocated the once treasured Earth’s Oddities to Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi.
The Ocean Pearl was an old acquaintance of Li Fan.
The Cauldron of the Myriad Mountains was also a wonder that Li Fan had previously discovered was destined to be born around this time.
Indeed, they were both extremely valuable.
But as his cultivation base grew with each passing day, these marvels of the Earth had become useless to him.
It would be better to use them to augment the strength of the United Federation of All Realms than let Immortal Alliance Cultivators detect and take possession of them.
As for why he chose Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi...
It was purely a whimsical decision by Grand Preceptor Li.
After all, to him, there was no fundamental difference between the so-called peerless geniuses and Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi, who would spend their lives trapped at Foundation Establishment and die of old age.
"Actually, the talents of these two cannot be said to be too poor. At the very least, judging from their performance in the spell battle in Da Xuan City that day, their actual combat strength was already far superior to that of ordinary cultivators," he thought.
"Since the fate of these two in this life has already deviated so much, I shall add more fuel to the fire and see where their limits truly lie!"
While Ji Shaoli thought this way, he provided protective support for the two brothers.
He retrieved various treasures, minimizing the risks involved in the process of re-cultivating from crushed elixirs.
Truth be told, the appearance of these two individuals before Li Fan was somewhat beyond his expectations.
And in the current Xuanhuang World, to bring even a slight surprise to Li Fan...
Truly, there weren’t many.
Therefore, he attempted what he did today.
However, for Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi, it was indeed a day that completely changed their destiny. It was merely a trial brought on by boredom, as Ji Shaoli’s incarnation stayed too long on Haixuan Island.
As for the outcome, he didn’t care at all.
What Li Fan truly cared about was only himself.
At this moment in the Spirit Tree Realm, Li Fan’s original body’s consciousness was immersed, merging with the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven.
Feeling the surging Power of Five Elements, he tried to contain it in one place.
"Unity of Five Elements, Infinite Fulfillment and Emptiness; its energy never ceases, the Divine Soul never perishes."
"With the endless Power of Five Elements, it’s enough to push my [Technique of Endless Duality] to a completely new level."
"To supplement my final weakness."
The Power of Five Elements, under Li Fan’s exquisite manipulation, perfectly converged in one place.
Forming a kind of unknown energy that Li Fan had never seen before.
Li Fan’s Divine Soul, as if it had been starved for a long time, suddenly sensed a whiff of food’s fragrance.
Wave after wave of hunger set in, nearly making Li Fan believe it was the side effect of the Secret Technique of [Hunger] reemerging.
But he quickly discerned that this was a natural reaction when the Divine Soul sensed something greatly beneficial to itself.
Without any hesitation, he swallowed this mysterious energy like a whale consuming water.
The feeling was similar to the sensation he felt when he first consumed [Mind Steed], as if his Divine Soul was soaked in a hot spring, feeling warm all over.
The difference, however, lies in the fact that the effects of [Mind Steed] were temporary.
Once digested, the nourishment it provided to the Divine Soul also dissipated without a trace.
But with the Infinite Fulfillment and Emptiness Method, as long as the transformation of the Five Elements provided by Li Fan continues, it will never stop!
If consuming [Mind Steed] is like taking a hot bath, where the water temperature quickly cools down,
Then this Infinite Fulfillment and Emptiness is like a continuously warm hot spring.
Through constant nourishment, Li Fan’s Divine Soul grew rapidly to an extent that he could discern for himself.
If previously in Da Xuan, the mere forming of protection was like draping a Straw Cloak on the outside of the Divine Soul,
Now, with the ongoing transformation of the Infinite Fulfillment and Emptiness Method, Li Fan felt his Divine Soul no longer needed the protection of anything external.
It was as tough as steel, relying only on itself.
No matter the wind or rain from the outside world, I stand unyielding!
"Perhaps this is because my previous Divine Soul strength was too low, which is why the effects of cultivation were so pronounced."
However, not long after, Li Fan perceived a waning of the Infinite Fulfillment and Emptiness Method and reached an understanding.
"The Immortal Alliance holds the Techniques for the Divine Soul very tightly. Without the aid of Yan Fajue, even if I traversed many worlds through Reincarnation, I would not have found many superior techniques."
"But after today, things will be different."
Li Fan closed his eyes, immersing himself in the cultivation of the Infinite Fulfillment and Emptiness Method.
It had been a long time since he had experienced the joy that came with rapid advancement in cultivation.
"I wonder if, as my Divine Soul grows, the functionality of Even True will change in any way?"
A thought suddenly emerged in Li Fan’s Spirit Consciousness.
...
When Li Fan emerged from his closed-door cultivation, the first thing he did was to test the effect of the so-called indestructibility of the Divine Soul claimed by the [Technique of Endless Duality].
In his memory, there was a Secret Technique that temporarily greatly increased one’s cultivation base at the cost of burning the Divine Soul: [Soul Burning Jue].
Without any hesitation, Li Fan fiercely activated it.
