Chapter 488
Chapter 488
Li Fan has undergone a hundred reincarnations, mastering extraordinary divine abilities beyond the imagination of ordinary cultivators.
The Chaos Sutra, Silent Annihilation Sword, Sky-Flipping Palm, Cloud Cluster Sword...
Each one of these techniques has the power to slay enemies far above his own level.
Ordinary demonic beasts' divine abilities did not interest Li Fan, but this nine-headed bird was clearly an exception.
Li Fan had a hunch that the grade of this fierce nine-headed bird might even surpass that of Kunpeng.
"Let’s see what surprises Ye Feipeng can bring me."
After testing the malevolent aura of the nine-headed bird, he took out a mass of Kunpeng blood essence from his storage ring.
Every so often, he would extract a wisp from Ye Feipeng’s body to use for enlightenment.
By now, Li Fan’s research into Kunpeng’s power had achieved initial success.
When he operated the 'Creation Furnace Technique', he still appeared human, but his stomach quietly transformed into the structure of a Kunpeng beast.Sensing the miraculous use of his newly formed Kunpeng stomach for a moment, Li Fan smiled and took out several high-grade spirit stones worth a hundred contribution points each and swallowed them.
Almost instantly, the highly concentrated spiritual energy in the spirit stones was absorbed and consumed by Li Fan.
Compared to the methods of ordinary cultivators, the efficiency was several times higher.
Although not as extreme as the 'Heaven-Devouring and Earth-Eating Technique', it was still extremely astonishing.
"No wonder Ye Feipeng’s cultivation speed accelerated in the previous life. With such a unique ability, it’s truly remarkable."
As the Mountain Sitting Technique circulated, and all the spiritual energy was converted into his own spiritual power, Li Fan took out a pile of supreme-grade spirit stones to test the current limit of his [Kun Devour] divine ability.
One stone was worth a thousand contribution points, and this pile alone amounted to fifty or sixty thousand.
Without hesitation, Li Fan devoured them all. The spirit stones vanished into his belly like a river flowing into the sea.
"Boom!"
A pure stream of spiritual energy erupted from within his stomach.
Li Fan’s expression changed slightly as he desperately tried to circulate his technique to consume it.
But the spiritual energy flow was like a torrential flood, surging endlessly.
Li Fan’s attempts to consume it were like trying to quench a blazing cartload of firewood with a cup of water.
Fortunately, practicing the Creation Furnace Technique had strengthened Li Fan’s physique to some extent, so his meridians weren't damaged by the overwhelming spiritual energy.
However, letting it run rampant inside his body wasn’t a viable solution either.
To avoid drawing attention, Li Fan's clone approached Tianyang and converted the nearly uncontrollable spiritual energy into blue Cloud Cluster Swords, slashing towards the puppet’s body.
After several slashes, the rampaging spiritual energy was finally exhausted and gradually subsided.
However, the seemingly powerful sword light didn’t leave even the slightest trace on Tianyang’s body.
Tianyang tilted his head, looking somewhat puzzled at his "senior brother," thinking Li Fan wanted to spar with him. He raised his fist.
"Hehe, junior brother, don’t misunderstand. I just made a mistake during my cultivation," Li Fan said with a smile, stopping Tianyang.
Tianyang then showed a worried expression.
After comforting Tianyang for a while, Li Fan returned to the secret chamber.
"Although I’ve simulated the Kunpeng stomach, achieving such astonishing devouring speed, a human body cannot be compared to ancient demonic beasts."
"I still can’t convert the absorbed energy into a powerful resource for myself in time."
"However, if I corroborate it with the Heaven-Devouring and Earth-Eating Technique..."
Li Fan narrowed his eyes and came up with an idea.
Improving techniques isn't something that can be done overnight. After splitting a part of his consciousness with the the Hua Dao Divine Technique of Transformation to focus on this matter, Li Fan tried the [Peng Flight] divine ability again.
This time, there were no abnormal bone wings sprouting from his back. Instead, he constantly flickered and maneuvered within the small space of the secret chamber.
His speed increased, almost becoming a blur in the air, beyond what the naked eye could perceive.
After a while, Li Fan finally stopped the experiment, satisfied.
"Good. The method of [Peng Flight], combined with the incomplete Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Escape, has increased my escape speed by more than double."
"In the future, as my research into Kunpeng blood essence deepens, it will become even faster."
Next, Li Fan didn’t try the divine ability of [Jing Peng Transformation].
This kind of divine ability, which completely transforms into the form of a demonic beast, was something Li Fan still chose to avoid.
Although its power was formidable, if it accidentally triggered Senior Brother Zhang’s Grand Aspirations dharma Incarnation, it would be a disaster.
In fact, among the many divine abilities displayed by Ye Feipeng in his previous life, the one Li Fan was most concerned with was the so-called [Bloodline Crossing].
Judging from Ye Feipeng’s later behavior, this [Bloodline Crossing] could not only change a person’s physique, slowly transforming them into a pure demonic beast but also unconsciously alter their mind.
Ye Feipeng’s transformation from “demonic beast” to “holy beast” clearly illustrated this point.
It’s not hard to imagine that if Ye Feipeng, influenced by Kunpeng essence blood, encountered the Kunpeng itself, he would definitely exhibit “loyalty” stemming from the depths of his bloodline.
What Li Fan currently lacked was this method of controlling people.
Now, he was merely using foreknowledge and coercion to force or entice people to his side.
Although effective, there were bound to be failures occasionally. It wasn’t as reliable and reassuring as this kind of secret technique.
"[Bloodline Crossing] might require Ye Feipeng’s Kunpeng bloodline to become even purer before I can comprehend it."
"Hmm, it’s time to purchase more pills to replenish blood and energy."
After handing over the remaining pills and the task of regular blood extractions to Tianyang, Li Fan leisurely returned to Ten Thousand Immortal Island.
Instead of going back to the Tianxuan Mirror, he headed straight to the Qianli Hall.
Nearly two years had passed, and there was still no response from Jiao Xiuyuan regarding the task he had assigned him to unearth the Small King of Medicine Cauldron.
Li Fan found it strange and decided to visit personally.
Jiao Xiuyuan was slightly taken aback upon seeing Li Fan suddenly appear.
His eyes flickered, and his expression showed a bit of awkwardness.
"Fellow Daoist Jiao, have you forgotten something?" Li Fan asked.
Jiao Xiuyuan chuckled and hurriedly pulled out a chair from somewhere, inviting Li Fan to sit down.
"What’s going on?" Seeing Jiao Xiuyuan’s demeanor, Li Fan already had an idea.
Not in a hurry, he just stared at Jiao Xiuyuan for a long time before speaking again.
Jiao Xiuyuan, feeling uncomfortable under Li Fan’s gaze, closed the store door and whispered, “It’s not that I deliberately stalled you, but I’m in a difficult situation!”
"With your abilities, Fellow Daoist Jiao, is there anything in the Medicine King Sect’s ruins that can trouble you?" Li Fan was skeptical.
"After thousands of years, even if there were any restrictions, they would have failed by now." Jiao Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "The problem is, someone else got there first!"
"Oh? What do you mean?" Li Fan's expression turned serious.
Yet another unforeseen variable had appeared.
"Just as I was about to pinpoint the location of the Small Medicine King Cauldron, people from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s Protectorate Institute suddenly showed up."
