Chapter 57: Chapter 57: A Sudden Stroke of Luck

Translator: 549690339

In his previous life, Li Fan had managed to break through the Immortal Forbiddance Formation at the end of his life and came to the Immortal Cultivation World for the first time.

At that time, the scene he saw was of continuous mountain ranges and a towering city suspended in the sky.

However, in this life, after arriving in the Immortal Cultivation World, Li Fan found himself above a vast ocean.

Before this, Li Fan had not overthought it, assuming there was some sort of mishap during the transfer.

It was not until today, upon seeing the drained Misthaven Ocean and the emergence of the Natural Treasure of the Vast Ocean, that he finally understood.

There was no accident. After passing through the Immortal Forbiddance Formation, he indeed arrived at the same place.

The only difference was that the two times he arrived in the Immortal Cultivation World were not in the same time period.

In his previous life, when Li Fan came to the Immortal Cultivation World, he was already 85 years old, equivalent to 65 years in cultivation time.

In this life, Li Fan entered the Immortal Cultivation World after reaching a 100% progress in Void Transformation at the age of 40.

That was equivalent to 20 years of cultivation time.

So over the course of 45 years, he first encountered a sea and then a mountain No wonder Li Fan hadn’t thought about it from this perspective. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Without having personally experienced it, even if someone told him in advance that such a drastic change in the world would occur, he would most likely only be half-convinced.

So Li Fan chuckled.

First, he was laughing at himself for still being unable to shake off his mortal mindset.

If he had been able to link the anomalies Zhang Haobo had previously mentioned with the differences he observed on his two visits, perhaps he could have anticipated this drastic change in the world earlier.

Secondly, he laughed because he finally saw a glimpse of hope for the end of this disaster.

After spending 50 years in cultivation time, Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi broke into Da Xuan. At that time, they proclaimed themselves to be from Skyreach City in the Misthaven Mountain Ranges.

Presumably, the drought had already passed by then.

The desolate ocean would turn into vibrant mountains. freewebnove(l).com

Now was the cultivation time equivalent to 34 years, so the end was not far off.

Waiting without hope is the most tormenting, but knowing the final outcome made this seemingly endless disaster seem less daunting.

Li Fan calmed down and returned to Taian Island.

Seeing the mortals who anxiously prayed day and night, feeling somewhat numb, Li Fan communicated to the entire island, telling them that this disaster would eventually pass.

Hearing the assurance from their Immortal Teacher, the island’s inhabitants were overjoyed, and their hope for survival was reignited.

Li Fan then entered secluded cultivation, and took out the Ocean Pearl once again.

“Is the semblance of hope in this?”

Li Fan observed this azure Natural Treasure.

When his divine sense plunged into it, he found it disappeared without a trace, like a water buffalo sinking into the ocean.

“It seems that using it is going to take some effort,” Li Fan contemplated upon witnessing the situation.

Natural Treasures are key to achieving the Tao Foundation. How to find and how to use them are both invaluable experiences.

The price to get it in Tianxuan Realm was incredibly expensive, requiring nearly 2000 contribution points.

All Li Fan could do right now was to explore it on his own.

Next, Li Fan made several attempts.

He infused spiritual energy, nourished it with divine consciousness, and even physically assaulted it. He even tried the method of refining it with his blood.

But the Ocean Pearl remained unmoved, failing to trigger the boundless water vapor contained within it.

In the end, it was Li Fan who, under a flash of enlightenment, remembered that there were methods in “The Golden Seal of the Jade Realm of a Thousand Mechanisms” for sensing and refining the energy mechanism from various heavenly and earthly spiritual objects.

He immediately activated the “Recognizing Mechanism” divine technique and looked at the Ocean Pearl.

A deep blue radiance surrounded the Ocean Pearl.

Ancient, profound, vitality…

Although the Ocean Pearl was small, its energy mechanism was complex and powerful, surpassing all living beings on Taian Island.

It was just that it was still in hibernation, so without careful observation, you would not easily discern it.

Li Fan was treading very carefully while sensing the energy mechanism of the

Ocean Pearl.

As soon as he made contact with it, he felt as if his physical form had disappeared.

It was as if he had suddenly arrived above the ninth heaven, gazing over the ocean below from a bird’s eye view.

The Misthaven Ocean, an ancient existence, had fostered countless living beings.

However, one day, a certain will descended upon heaven and earth.

As a result, the ocean began to approach death.

Heaven creates, heaven kills. Such is the principle of Tao.

When heaven wanted to set the ocean ablaze, the ocean had no strength to resist.

But, it would not submit!

So, although one vast ocean passed away, another was born!

Boom!

Li Fan pulled himself out of that bizarre realm.

Before he even had time to reminisce about the scenes he’d just witnessed, he suddenly felt weak and almost lost his balance.

Upon checking, Li Fan was horrified to find that he had somehow grown a strand of white hair, and fine wrinkles had appeared on his face.

All this happened in the split second of merging with the aura of the Ocean pearl!

When Li Fan reopened the [Real] panel, he gasped in astonishment.

Name: Li Fan

Realm: Mid Stage of Energy Refining

Physical Age: 89/199

Mental Age: 517/22801

In that instant, Li Fan’s physical age had sharply risen from 54 to 89.

It felt as if he had passed through 35 years in a blink of an eye.

“No wonder even the Ancient Heavenly Machine Sect had few cultivators who cultivated this technique. Just coming into contact with the consciousness of this vast ocean, one’s lifespan is consumed at an alarming rate,”

“If it weren’t for physiological warning signals caused by rapid lifespan depletion, I might have been unknowingly assimilated by the ocean’s consciousness. By then, whether I’d still be able to activate the [Real] is uncertain. ”

Upon realizing what had just happened, Li Fan suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

“This can’t be right. This surely isn’t the way to manipulate natural treasures.” Li Fan knew he must have gotten the method wrong.

Human perception of time is fundamentally different from that of heaven, earth, mountains, rivers, and the vast oceans.

Even those mighty immortals who can live for thousands of years could not compare to such entities.

Rash engagement with their consciousness could only result in assimilation.

So, how exactly can one manipulate natural treasures then?

Grasping the Ocean Pearl, Li Fan’s expression changed unpredictably.

Days went by, and Li Fan was still unable to figure out how to use the Ocean Pearl.

The weather was becoming hotter and hotter, as if intending to purify the Misthaven Ocean thoroughly.

The mortals on the island gradually lost even the strength to pray.

Death before the break of dawn was utterly despairing.

Li Fan couldn’t help but feel restless and disturbed, with all sorts of thoughts crowding his mind.

In order to calm his mind, he unconsciously began circulating the long-neglected “Mystic Yellow Heart Refining Mantra”.

Ever since he became an energy refining cultivator, most of his energy had been devoted to cultivating techniques like “Controlling Water Secret Technique” and “The Golden Seal of the Jade Realm of a Thousand Mechanisms”.

He hadn’t purposefully practiced the “Heart-Refining Spell” for a long time.

Because it did not help much in improving his cultivation. Moreover, even if he didn’t actively cultivate it, the mantra would still operate slowly on its own.

So Li Fan set it aside.

As the Heart-Refining Spell came into practice, all the negative emotions like unease, fear, and impatience gradually disappeared from Li Fan’s heart, feeding his Tao heart.

With tranquility restored in his heart, Li Fan suddenly felt a sensation.

His breakthrough lay within this Ocean Pearl..
