"It seems that although the 'Mountain Meditation Technique' cultivates at an extremely fast speed, the risks are still too great for a high-profile cultivation."
"This time, I was fortunate to escape with my life due to good luck."
"The next time, it's impossible to say."
Li Fan sighed, then remembered the scene where the black-robed Dao Integration cultivator had a terrified expression just now.
"Devouring Rebirth, seeking longevity?"
"I didn't expect that the mastermind behind the chaos in the Yuandao Province was actually the deceased Blue Feather Immortal Sage."
"Is he trying to reverse the cycle of life and death?"
Although he still didn't know the specific details of Blue Feather Immortal Sage's plan, the fragments of information from the black-robed cultivator were enough to reveal the terror of Blue Feather Immortal Sage.
He sacrificed countless lives of cultivators in the Yuandao Province to achieve immortality.
Among these fallen cultivators, many were Blue Feather Immortal Sage's subordinates and relatives.
"I don't know if, after being discovered by this black-robed cultivator, Blue Feather's plan can still succeed. Anyway, regardless of the outcome, the Yuandao Province is not a good place to stay for long. I have to leave quickly."
Previously, he had already agreed with Su Xiaomei and the others to meet in the Shilin Province after splitting up.
In these seven years, with a significant surplus of contributions, even the weakest Yin sisters had broken through to late stage Qi Condensation, plus they had some magical treasures for protection.
Being a bit careful on the way should ensure their safety.
Li Fan surveyed the surroundings. He had been transported to a dense forest, and he didn't know the exact location.
He tried to contact others from the Mingyue Palace using communication talismans, but he couldn't establish a connection.
After pondering for a moment, Li Fan decided to find a populated place first, identify his current location, and then proceed.
He chose a direction, concealed his figure, and swiftly flew.
However, halfway through, Li Fan suddenly stopped.
His face showed puzzlement.
"What's going on? Why hasn't the unease in my heart disappeared, and is instead growing stronger?"
"Has that black-robed Dao Integration cultivator not given up on chasing me?"
"What kind of grudge is this, what kind of resentment?"
"No, this feeling is not like the helplessness and despair when facing the Dao Integration Immortal Venerable."
"Does the crisis come from someone else?"
"What's going on?"
The experiences of this life flashed through his mind quickly, but Li Fan couldn't figure out where this fatal crisis was coming from.
Li Fan stopped and took out a necklace with a random teleportation formation from his storage ring.
After activating it, the scenery around him changed rapidly.
Before he could see the environment clearly, Li Fan took out another necklace.
He repeated this process five times, not knowing how far he had been teleported.
Li Fan stopped when he felt a bit dizzy.
The uneasy premonition in his heart finally gradually subsided. It seemed that he had temporarily escaped from this unknown enemy.
Surveying the surroundings, Li Fan found himself on a plain.
In the far distance, there were continuous mountains visible on the horizon.
Not far away, there was a city. After inquiring, Li Fan learned that this place was already near the border of the Shilin Province, and the city was called Luo Fan City, a remote town without any cultivators guarding it.
However, to the north of Luo Fan City, there was a large city called Rong Hua City, where cultivators were definitely residing.
For his own safety, Li Fan decided to use the teleportation formation in Rong Hua City to go to the Shilin Heavenly City and lie low.
Li Fan didn't delay any longer and hurried towards Rong Hua City.
However, when he flew halfway, Li Fan suddenly stopped again.
Because the source of that crisis suddenly appeared again, and it was even more urgent than before.
As if it appeared out of thin air on the road ahead.
"Did he use the teleportation formation to come to Rong Hua City?"
"The other party can lock onto my location at any time?"
Li Fan pondered for a moment, choosing not to escape immediately but to land and set up a formation in place.
"Considering that the opponent still needs to use the teleportation formation, it shouldn't be a Dao Integration cultivator."
"If it's a Nascent Soul cultivator, it might not be impossible to resist for a moment."
"At the very least, I need to figure out why he is chasing me."
"Otherwise, even if I start over, in the next life, I will encounter the same calamity."
Abandoning the plan to escape, Li Fan's mind became calm.
One by one, he laid out the formations.
[Explosive Law Formation].
Temporarily increases the power of one's Dao techniques by one rank.
[Chaotic Disruption Profound Spirit Formation].
Disrupts the flow of spiritual energy around the opponent, reducing their strength to some extent.
[Five Elements Sword Qi Formation].
Reverses spiritual energy into the power of the five elements, turning it into sword qi to harm the enemy.
[Soul Shock Formation].
Uses the remains of beasts to launch a soul-shaking attack with divine sense.
[Replication Formation].
After activating the formation, it memorizes the current technique, and then replicates and casts it.
...
Finally, Li Fan gathered the remaining Devouring White Mist in one place.
He also placed hundreds of [Exploding Seals] around it.
Although the power of each [Exploding Seal] was not too strong, the advantage lay in their large number.
Li Fan put the mist and seals in a separate storage ring.
Ready to give this unknown enemy a surprise.
"Unfortunately, with my current level of formation skills, I'm not skilled enough to make a formation crown. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so troublesome."
"In the cultivation world, under the Dao Integration, crossing a large realm to kill an opponent with one's own strength is considered a genius."
"To kill an opponent crossing two large realms is rare in ancient times, known as an unparalleled genius."
"With the assistance of formations, I can barely be considered half of a Golden Core cultivator."
"But I don't know how many rounds I can withstand against this Soul Transformation True Monarch."
Everything was ready, Li Fan closed his eyes and meditated, waiting for the enemy.
Soon after, a fiery red light tore through the sky and arrived in an instant.
The person had arrived above Li Fan's head in an instant.
This person had a sturdy figure, fiery red hair, and a flaming red beard.
Staring down at Li Fan, his voice was like thunder.
"You can run pretty fast!"
"Surrender the Minor Medicine King Cauldron, and I might spare your life!"
...
The rolling sound echoed continuously in Li Fan's ears.
Li Fan squinted his eyes, and in an instant, many thoughts flashed through his mind.
"Minor Medicine King Cauldron?"
"Hunting me across several states, is it really for this?"
"Could it be some extraordinary treasure?"
"But it's been almost thirty-seven years since I bought these two small cauldrons from Jiao Xiuyuan."
"These two small cauldrons have no practical use. I've always kept them in the corner of my storage ring, and I've almost forgotten about them myself."
"If they really have some special value, why did it take so long for the pursuit to begin?"
Past scenes quickly flashed through Li Fan's mind.
...
"It is said that after the Immortal Ancestor passed on his teachings, before the arrival of the Great Calamity, the sect leader of the Medicine King Sect, Liu Ruchen, had a vague premonition that the world might undergo significant changes."
"So, with an extremely tough attitude, Liu Ruchen led the entire Medicine King Sect, using his Medicine King Cauldron as a boat, to break through the void and leave the realm."
Jiao Xiuyuan spoke confidently.
...
In the 15th year.
A fiery meteor illuminated the sky, tearing through the night.
Its whereabouts were unknown.
But all the cultivators who saw this meteor felt a simultaneous surge of fear, sorrow, and other inexplicable emotions.
...
"Good heavens, do you know where this meteor fell? The Abyss of Cangwu!"
"That eerie place, unfathomable. No wonder no one has found it for so many years."
In the 41st year, the meteor returned to the Cangwu Province.
Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi wanted to seek opportunities.
...
"The last time, we painstakingly ran to Cangwu State. The news of the discovery of the meteor had just come out when we arrived, and we didn't even get to see what it looked like. We could only return disappointed."
Kou Hong complained dejectedly.
...
Li Fan couldn't help but suddenly understand.
"Could it be that the meteor is the Medicine King Cauldron of the Medicine King Sect?"
"The Medicine King Cauldron that broke through the void before the Great Calamity has now inexplicably returned to the Xuanhuang Realm."
"And those 36 Minor Medicine King Cauldrons that no one cared about in the past have become treasures coveted by everyone for some unknown reason."
"So, the calamity that endangered my life was this!"
