Chapter 117: Devouring White Mist Wall

The next day, Li Chenfeng and the other two quietly left the island.

Under the Formless Killing Intent's perception, they traveled north, getting further and further away.

As the perceived image grew blurrier, Li Fan canceled his lock on Li Chenfeng.

“Still forty to fifty years left?”

“If there’s an opportunity in the future, I can visit their Empire.”

However, in this life, he still needed to raise his cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Stage first.

Returning to Wanxian Island, Li Fan first entered seclusion to Cultivate for a period of time.

He slowly digested the insights gained from observing the Foundation Establishment process.

After coming out of seclusion, he checked the "Congyun Sea Surrounding Geographical Map Collection" that his Clone Lin Fan had exchanged for.

He had thought about exchanging for the entire Xuanhuang World map at once, but the tianxuan mirror showed insufficient permissions and could not be viewed.

So, he could only settle for the next best thing and first exchange for the areas around the Congyun Sea.

As the map appeared in his mind, Li Fan discovered that the seemingly boundless Congyun Sea was actually an inland sea.

It was as if someone had forcibly carved a gap in the continent.

The Congyun Sea was almost completely surrounded by land.

Only in the southeast, through a narrow sea area, was it connected to the endless ocean.

North of the Congyun Sea was Yongliang Province, where Li Chenfeng and the others had fled to.

To the west and south, from top to bottom, were Nine Mountains Province, Shi Lin Province, and Source Dao Province.

These three provinces all belonged to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s territory.

The Yongliang Province to the north was under the control of the Five Old Men Association.

“It’s almost Anchored Year 14, it’s time to plan a retreat.”

“After getting the cang hai pearl, I’ll leave the Congyun Sea as soon as possible. I’ll leave a Clone here to observe the situation.”

“As for where to go…”

Li Fan browsed the information of several provinces in detail.

Nine Mountains Province bordered Yongliang Province and was not very peaceful.

Shi Lin Province and Source Dao Province were quite similar.

However, Source Dao Province was adjacent to the endless ocean, and its Spiritual Qi of water attribute was abundant.

Considering that he would use the cang hai pearl for Foundation Establishment later, choosing to go to Source Dao Province would definitely be more suitable.

Li Fan also noticed that in this Xuanhuang World, the boundaries between provinces were not artificially divided.

Provinces were naturally separated by something called a White Mist Barrier.

Both Mortals and Daoist Cultivators could pass through.

But the price for each crossing of the White Mist Barrier was Lifespan.

The longer it took, the more Lifespan was consumed.

Mortals hardly dared to cross the White Mist Barrier on their own, because at their travel speed, they would often die of old age before they could get out.

Although Daoist Cultivators flew extremely fast, each time they crossed the White Mist Barrier, they would lose at least thirty days of Lifespan.

Although not much, if it happened frequently, even a Golden Core cultivator couldn't endure it.

So most Cultivators followed a principle:

No movement unless necessary.

They generally only operated within their respective provinces.

Fortunately, a single province was also extremely vast, with an area no smaller than the Congyun Sea.

Coupled with the existence of large organizations like the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance that spanned the entire Cultivation World, resources would not be scarce.

Therefore, even if some Cultivators only operated within one province their entire lives, it had no substantial impact on their Cultivation.

Of course, one could also cross two provinces via ultra-long-distance teleportation arrays.

But that only reduced the Lifespan loss to about ten days, and it was also quite expensive.

Only a very small number of Cultivators would use this method.

However, Li Fan checked and found that there was no White Mist Barrier between Source Dao Province and the Congyun Sea.

Moreover, within Wanxian Island, there were also specialized teleportation arrays to Source Dao Province.

“If the Sitting Mountain Skill can be replicated by me, then some exceptionally talented individuals will be more important to me.”

For a moment, several figures flashed through Li Fan’s mind.

“After leaving, perhaps I can bring them along and see the effect of this Sitting Mountain Skill.” Li Fan mused.

“However, bringing Mortals will surely cause many inconveniences.”

“I still need to make a trip in advance and prepare.”

Li Fan had tried before; if the taiyan boat contained living people, it could not be taken into the Huan Zhen space.

After thinking for a moment, Li Fan still used the teleportation array to go to Source Dao Province for an inspection.

The overall layout of Source Dao Province was similar to that of the Congyun Sea.

Almost every large Mortal town had a city-protecting array and a Foundation Establishment cultivator as Town Guardian.

And above Source Dao Province, a huge floating city stood built.

Named after the province: Source Dao Heavenly City.

The layout of Source Dao City was identical to Wanxian Island, almost as if carved from the same mold, which made Li Fan feel a sense of familiarity.

There was still a tianxuan mirror in the center of the city, and when Li Fan entered it, he found it was exactly the same as when he used it on Wanxian Island.

In fact, Li Fan even saw a familiar figure in Source Dao City.

“It seems that under the rule of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, it should all be like this. I just don’t know what the situation is like on the Five Old Men Association’s side.”

Mortals could not enter Source Dao Heavenly City. The largest city in Source Dao Province was called Zhuo Ling City.

After Li Fan teleported to Zhuo Ling City, he exchanged 50 contribution points for a courtyard from the Zhuo Ling City Town Guardian, to serve as his future base.

After this, Li Fan set up the taiyan boat and flew all the way from Source Dao Province back to the Congyun Sea.

This was to scout the route for future evacuation.

By the time he returned to Wanxian Island again, the time had already entered Anchored Year 14.

During this period, Zhang Haobo had been tracking the whereabouts of the wind disasters.

Initially, he would misjudge the time and location of the wind disasters.

But slowly, Zhang Haobo’s premonition became more and more accurate.

He was always able to appear at each wind disaster site on time.

However, now, Zhang Haobo had stopped his pursuit of the wind.

He floated in the air, looking up at something.

Like a stone statue, he remained still.

This had been going on for a long time.

But, gradually, an unusual aura slowly emerged from Zhang Haobo’s body.

Li Fan immediately shifted his attention back to Zhang Haobo.

He saw his clothes suddenly billow without wind, flapping loudly.

And he himself seemed to be pushed from below, slowly ascending.

Gradually accelerating, like a thin shadow, he shot up into the sky.

His speed grew faster and faster, reaching the heavens.

However, when he flew past a certain height limit, he suddenly stopped.

Then he continuously hovered in this space, seemingly searching for something.

But…

He could not enter.

Zhang Haobo’s face was as calm as an ancient well, he merely transformed into a breeze, constantly blowing in this area.

One day, two days, three days…

Days passed, and he still seemed to have no收获.

But Li Fan discovered that Zhang Haobo’s range of activity was continuously shrinking.

When the final area was determined, he let out a long howl, suddenly accelerated, turned into a green glow, and fiercely crashed into that void.

A faint, almost imperceptible aquamarine light also lit up on his body at the opportune moment.

Zhang Haobo’s figure suddenly disappeared between heaven and earth.

And Li Fan’s perspective was also brought into a strange space.

A transparent green figure stood with closed eyes.

In his hand, he held a cage made of green light.

A black sword hilt, emitting a sky-piercing Evil Qi, continuously struck, trying to break free from the cage.

“Bang bang bang!”

Occasionally, wisps of green light were impacted by it, drifting down and landing in various parts of the Congyun Sea.

Transforming into wind disasters.
