Chapter 141: Fortunately Obtaining the Canghai Pearl
During the two years, besides Zhang Haobo's wind shepherding towards Ten Thousand Immortals Island, several major events occurred.
In the 21st year, at the edge of the Cong Yun Sea, near the endless ocean, two Soul Transformation True Monarchs engaged in a mysterious battle that lasted for over a month, with no clear winner.
Eventually, the sky tore open, and a dazzling starlight enveloped them, putting an end to the fierce battle that had attracted numerous onlookers.
Around the same time, shortly after the two Soul Transformation True Monarchs' battle, in the Yuandao Prefecture adjacent to the Cong Yun Sea, a heavenly anomaly shrouded the entire province. The Blue Feather Immortal Sage, a cultivator in the Dao Integration Realm, fell.
The Blue Feather Immortal Sage was rumored to be a senior cultivator who had survived the Great Calamity and had controlled the Yuandao Prefecture for nearly three thousand years. However, he couldn't achieve longevity and eventually succumbed to the end of his life.
After the Blue Feather Immortal Sage's death, the Yuandao Prefecture fell into considerable turmoil.
In the 22nd year, in the northwest sea area of the Cong Yun Sea, a Daoist cave rose from the sea and flew straight toward the direction of the Jiushan Prefecture.
This incident piqued the curiosity of many cultivators, who followed to investigate, but none of them returned, their whereabouts unknown.
...
Li Fan meticulously recorded these events. Then, he checked the records of his Communication Talismans.
The collection of Dao resonance artifacts seemed to progress quite smoothly. With guidance from a group of exceptional talents, progress was better than anticipated.
However, Zhao Erbao's reports became increasingly sporadic, with the latest message arriving six months ago. It seemed he needed another profound lesson.
Xiao Heng rarely disturbed Li Fan. Su Xiaomei, on the other hand, sent messages to Li Fan every now and then, reporting her progress and sharing news.
Born with an innate physique, Su Xiaomei's cultivation progressed rapidly. In just over two years, she had reached the Qi Condensation Late stage. Xiao Heng's progress was slightly slower, at the Qi Condensation Middle stage, but he was said to be on the verge of a breakthrough.
...
The rest of the messages were casual greetings from cultivators Li Fan had befriended on the island. Nothing of great importance.
However, upon entering the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan noticed that during the 21st year, a Qi Condensation cultivator named He Xinxin had sent several visitation requests.
These requests continued intermittently until half a year ago when they suddenly stopped. Li Fan found it strange and couldn't help but think of He Zhenghao.
Suddenly, he remembered the first time he encountered a wind disaster on Liuli Island in his previous life. The protective formation was activated by a female cultivator. However, they never met again, and Li Fan gradually forgot about it.
"He Xinxin should have stayed in the Cong Yun Sea for a while and then left?" Li Fan could only speculate.
In the illusion, Zhao Erbao once again found himself in the nightmare where ancient artifacts were smashed. However, having experienced it two times before, he had developed some resistance.
So, he struggled to wake up from the illusion.
But he pretended to be still immersed in the illusion, intending to deceive Li Fan.
It wasn't until Li Fan appeared that he suddenly attacked. With one strike, he seemingly killed Li Fan.
Looking at the body lying on the ground, the nightmares that had haunted him for so many years were finally eliminated. Zhao Erbao proudly howled to the sky.
However, he found that there was no death announcement from the heavens.
When he looked again, he saw Li Fan's head, revealing a strange smile.
The surroundings shattered like glass, and he returned to his own base.
Time seemed to rewind to the day he first met Li Fan. He was explaining the origin of Dao resonance artifacts to Li Fan.
However, things took a turn. Li Fan, indifferent to the idea of reproducing Dao resonance, directly smashed the ancient artifacts in the base and slapped him on the head.
The scene turned black, and Zhao Erbao woke up abruptly.
Drenched in cold sweat, he was initially confused, then suddenly looked around.
Not seeing Li Fan's figure, he was a bit unsure whether it was still an illusion or reality.
After a long time, Zhao Erbao finally regained his senses.
Knowing it was a warning from Li Fan, he hastily sent a report message to Li Fan.
Observing Zhao Erbao's expressions and actions in the shadows, Li Fan knew the intimidation had been successful.
"However, this is not a long-term solution. In the future, when the opportunity arises, I must find a method specifically for controlling cultivators."
After that, Li Fan went to check on Su Changyu.
The miasma cleansing was still not completed, but Su Changyu remained steady, persevering without arrogance or impatience.
Combined with the occasional treasures that Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng brought him, which were said to help eliminate the miasma in his body, the complete cleansing was not far off.
