At this moment, Ling Huchang was sleeping soundly, sprawled on the ground.
“He is also at the early stage of the Nascent Soul, but…”
Li Fan squinted slightly as the phantom of the Five Elements Cave Heaven suddenly materialized behind him.
The power of the Cave Heaven Domain, like shackles, immobilized Ling Huchang.
After seizing all Ling Huchang’s belongings, Li Fan activated his power.
A moment later, without the chance to release a cry, Ling Huchang’s body disintegrated into tiny particles under the immense force of the Cave Heaven.
His Nascent Soul, located within his Dantian, remained unharmed under Li Fan’s precise use of power.
Suddenly awakening from his slumber as his body was annihilated, Ling Huchang found himself in a small purple infant-like form, and he immediately understood what had transpired.
“Who exactly are you?”
Ling Huchang stared at Li Fan, his expression a mix of hatred and fear.
In response, a purple thunderstorm flashed before his eyes.
“Violet Firmament Sect…”
Incredulity filled Ling Huchang’s voice.
The next moment, he lost consciousness and passed out.
A moment later, Li Fan, having fully absorbed Ling Huchang’s memory, waved his sleeve and temporarily restrained the subjected’s Nascent Soul within his own Cave Heaven.
He proceeded deeper into the innermost area of the Medicine King True Cauldron, stopping before the [Gate of Life and Death] to ponder deeply.
“Even a Unity-Path practitioner will find it hard to break through once the Gate of Life and Death is shut.”
“Only the [Evergreen Vital Force] manifested by practicing the Medicine King Sect’s true inheritance, ‘The Sutra of Longevity for the Salvation of the World’, can reverse the Gate of Life and Death, allowing one to enter.”
“‘The Sutra of Longevity for the Salvation of the World’, a Unified Dao Technique.”
A usual cultivator, upon acquiring a Unified Dao Technique, would likely be too ecstatic to sleep.
However, Li Fan remained undisturbed amidst the excitement surrounding this technique.
Although ‘The Sutra of Longevity for the Salvation of the World’ is indeed a Unified Dao method, it is based on the purpose of healing the sick and saving lives.
Saving others equates to saving oneself, the more people saved, the faster the progress in cultivation.
Even for crossing the barrier of cultivation, a certain number of saved lives must be accounted for.
It is not very apt for Li Fan, nor is it necessary for him to transfer cultivation.
Though it is a Unified Dao technique of immense value. If he exterminates everyone in the Medicine King Sect, this technique will become a solo script known only to Li Fan. But there is no need to do so. These people from the Medicine King Sect have a more important use.
The main problem now is the sheer number of practitioners of ‘The Sutra of Longevity for the Salvation of the World’, totaling up to 462.
Li Fan tried to circulate this technique, but his spiritual energy felt as though it was completely blocked, and there was no movement.
Even acclimating seems like an impossible task.
After mulling it over for a moment, he came up with an idea.
Based on Ling Huchang’s memory, Li Fan located some rooms belonging to Medicine King Sect disciples at the Golden Core cultivation level.
He burst in, forcibly extracting a portion of their [Evergreen Vital Force].
Then, he combined these forces into an energy body.
Injecting a strand of his divine consciousness into this green energy body, Li Fan stretched his limbs and took a moment to adjust.
“The Evergreen Vital Force is leaking rapidly, it won’t last long. But it should be sufficient.”
Moving with a thought, the energy body shrunk into a green Nascent Soul form.
Li Fan plunged headfirst into the wall of life and death.
It felt like he had traversed a grey film. The next moment, Li Fan thought he had flown out of the Medicine King Cauldron and had returned to the Abyss of the Verdant Wutong.
That’s because the scenery around him looked exactly like the outside of the original Medicine King True Cauldron.
It was because the inner wall of the Medicine King Cauldron had become completely transparent.
There were only two skeletons in the field.
One skeleton was standing while the other one was lying on the ground.
“The one standing should be Liu Ruchen. The one lying on the ground should be Lao Huang.”
“In order to escape from the Immortal Ruins, Liu Ruchen was forced to sacrifice the life sources of some cultivators in the sect.”
Recalling what he had seen in his previous life, Li Fan thought to himself.
“Only bones left, he shouldn’t be alive.”
Li Fan slowly approached Liu Ruchen.
When he reached Liu Ruchen’s bones, a phantom suddenly appeared beside Li Fan.
He was stunned, but Li Fan quickly realized that the other party had no life aura, it was merely a projection.
The Evergreen Vital Force flowing from Li Fan was absorbed by the phantom.
As if it had passed some sort of verification, the phantom finally spoke after a while, “Disciples of Medicine King Sect, heed my command.”
“By the time you see this image, I should be gone.”
“It was my fault.”
“I foresaw the arrival of the Great Calamity, but I didn’t realize that there was something even more terrifying above our Xuanhuang World.”
“The Ten Sects of the Immortal Dao knew everything, yet, they let us die.”
“This grudge is irreconcilable!”
“But remember, the Ten Sects are powerful and unyielding. Upon returning to the Xuanhuang World, temporarily seek refuge in the Valley of Eternal Life and try to preserve your strength. After the Great Calamity has fully passed, make your move when the time is right.”
“After my death, my son Liu Yihang will temporarily take the position of Sect Master, with the elders assisting him. Once he achieves God Transformation, he can officially take over as head of the sect.”
“In the face of a crisis, we must not fight amongst ourselves when our survival is at stake!”
…
As the mechanical phantom uttered Liu Ruchen’s last words, Li Fan stood in place and listened quietly.
After a while, when all the instructions had been delivered, the phantom turned into specks of starlight and disappeared.
Only a glowing diamond-shaped crystal was left behind.
Li Fan knew that this was the control core of the Medicine King Cauldron.
Originally, it was prepped by Liu Ruchen for Liu Yihang, but now it was snatched by Li Fan who had foreseen this.
The energy body used the control core to open the Gate of Life and Death, and Li Fan entered the Control Room.
After using it for seven days to refine it, Li Fan obtained the control over the true Medicine King Cauldron.
Although many of its functions couldn’t be activated because of the lack of Evergreen Vital Force, most of its basic functions could still be used.
Li Fan called up the images recorded by the true Medicine King Cauldron.
It was consistent with what he and Xiao Heng had seen in their previous life.
In the endless void, the light representing Xuanhuang World looked so small.
The Immortal Ruins above, wanting to swallow everything, were so terrifying.
The scene continued to play.
The Medicine King Cauldron that flew out of the Xuanhuang World was constantly falling towards the Immortal Ruins uncontrollably.
Even though countless radiance emerged from the cauldron, trying to break free from the gravitational pull of the Immortal Ruins, it couldn’t escape.
It was getting closer and closer to the Immortal Ruins.
On the verge of complete collapse.
Just then, countless different points of light burst out from the cauldron, as if it had infinite power in an instant.
In the constant roar, the Medicine King Cauldron changed its direction of movement.
But all of Li Fan’s attention at this moment was focused on the image of the Immortal Ruins recorded by the Medicine King Cauldron.
Perhaps because it was close enough, Li Fan was able to catch a glimpse of the vague appearance of the Immortal Ruins.
On the desolate land, there were only broken walls and ruins.
In it, a tall figure seemed to stand still.
Quietly looking down.
