Chapter 119 Five Elements Great Cave Heaven

Zhang Haobo opened his eyes, and the wandering Sword Intent instantly returned to his Dantian.

As the sharpness in his eyes slowly dissipated, his entire being became ordinary and harmless.

Li Fan observed Zhang Haobo's transformation, marveling at it.

To be able to subtly conceal his aura and return to simplicity even in the Foundation Establishment Stage was truly remarkable.

It was quite extraordinary.

After lingering at the bottom of the sea for a moment, familiarizing himself with the power of his newly Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage, Zhang Haobo immediately soared to the surface.

He didn't stop for a moment, beginning to Cultivate the Technique of Calming the Sea Divine Sword.

Blue water swords appeared one after another, dancing in the air.

Under Zhang Haobo's control, blue light crisscrossed and Dragons of water flew.

Li Fan, observing from the shadows, also keenly noticed that after building his Dao foundation with that unknown Sword Intent, the sword momentum of Zhang Haobo's Technique of Calming the Sea Divine Sword also underwent some clear changes.

If the Technique of Calming the Sea Divine Sword previously exuded an imposing and upright aura when unleashed, then the current Technique of Calming the Sea Divine Sword, enhanced by that mysterious Sword Intent, concealed a frenzied and fierce killing intent within its vast and unparalleled sword momentum.

In fact, Li Fan even vaguely felt that Zhang Haobo was still holding back.

A monstrous Evil Qi was always hidden within him, unreleased.

Once this Evil Qi, originating from the black sword hilt, erupted, the power of the Technique of Calming the Sea Divine Sword would likely increase severalfold in an instant.

Zhang Haobo continuously practiced the Technique of Calming the Sea Divine Sword on the deserted sea surface, tirelessly.

Sun rose and moon set, rain or shine.

Specks of blue light converged from all directions of the ocean, and in this almost home-field of the Congyun Sea, Zhang Haobo didn't have to worry about the consumption of Spiritual Qi, allowing him to unleash his power to his heart's content, without any reservations.

Thus, although his Realm remained at the Early Stage Foundation Establishment, his actual combat strength was progressing rapidly.

The most obvious external manifestation was the number of water swords Zhang Haobo condensed, which skyrocketed from thirty-six during these days.

Thirty-six, seventy-two, one hundred and eight!

In just over a month, Zhang Haobo, who had just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, had cultivated the Technique of Calming the Sea Divine Sword to Major Achievement!

Although there were some external factors involved, it cannot be denied that Zhang Haobo's talent was truly terrifying.

One hundred and eight Technique of Calming the Sea Divine Sword launched simultaneously, with the Water Dragon Song filling the sky.

In Li Fan's opinion, this display surpassed that of Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi, who were at the Late Stage Foundation Establishment back then.

It should be noted that this was still without Zhang Haobo using a Foundation Establishment wonder item.

Seeing Zhang Haobo's rapid progress, Li Fan couldn't help but secretly anticipate.

“What will you do next? The Technique of Calming the Sea Divine Sword I gave you only goes up to the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

“Could it be that you can even deduce the Golden Core Stage part on your own?”

Li Fan was somewhat disbelieving.

In this Cultivation World, it was naturally possible to create Cultivation Techniques.

But that wasn't something that could be achieved by high talent alone.

It also required an extremely profound understanding of Cultivation Techniques as a foundation to innovate, create something from nothing, and deduce new Cultivation Techniques.

It could be said that only a Grandmaster could achieve this.

In the Cultivation World, Cultivators who could deduce new Cultivation Techniques were respectfully referred to as Weavers.

The status of Weavers was revered, far above that of Great Masters in Artifact Refining, Alchemy, Talisman Making, and Formation.

No matter what organization they were in, they would inevitably hold important positions and be respected.

There were even Weaver Grandmasters with superb skill and an extraordinary understanding of Cultivation Techniques, capable of “customizing” Cultivation Techniques for Cultivators.

Their status was even no less than that of a Combined Dao Immortal.

However, although Zhang Haobo's talent was indeed very high, he had only cultivated one Technique of Calming the Sea Divine Sword so far.

The possibility of successfully deducing the Golden Core chapter of the Technique of Calming the Sea Divine Sword Cultivation Technique existed, but the probability was very, very low.

Li Fan was now somewhat looking forward to what Zhang Haobo would do next.

However, for now, Zhang Haobo, in the Early Stage Foundation Establishment, didn't need to worry about Cultivation Technique issues.

Like the best teacher, he repeatedly and meticulously demonstrated various Moves from the Technique of Calming the Sea Divine Sword in front of Li Fan, over and over again.

He was tireless and incredibly detailed.

Li Fan devoted most of his attention to learning and comprehending.

The rest of his attention, however, returned to the tianxuan mirror.

The saying “Cultivation has no years” was truly not false.

During the time Li Fan and Zhang Haobo were Cultivating, time quietly slipped away.

It was now Anchor Year 16.

The curtain raising for the Crimson Flame Burning Sea was getting closer and closer.

Li Fan first inquired about the major events that had occurred in the past two years.

Due to the influence of Chang Sheng Tian Zun, although only two years had passed, many records of events were likely already lost.

But then Li Fan visited Cultivators like Yuwen Xing, and through continuous questioning, he was still able to piece together some events from clues.

Li Fan returned to the tianxuan mirror and meticulously organized and recorded them one by one.

Although Li Fan would certainly gradually forget these things unintentionally soon after, it didn't matter.

After Huan Zhen, in the next life, Li Fan would remember these things again.

Li Fan studied the records in his hand, and there were several items that particularly interested him.

In Anchor Year 14, not long after he and Zhang Haobo entered Epiphany, something major seemed to have happened in the northwest sea area of Congyun Sea, near the border of Yongliang Province and Nine Mountains.

The price of the local specialty, Gilded Flying Fish, skyrocketed fiftyfold in a short period, only lasting for a brief seven days before rapidly falling back.

And all the surviving buyers didn't remember what happened or why they bought the Gilded Flying Fish at that time.

This was one thing.

The second interesting event occurred in Anchor Year 15.

A fiery meteor illuminated the sky, streaking across the night.

It was unknown where it fell.

And all Cultivators who saw this meteor simultaneously felt fear and sorrow.

Someone once tried to find the landing site of the fiery meteor, but it seemed no one could find it.

The third event had just happened recently.

The rumor mentioned by Jiao Xiuyuan: that there were two other Cave Heavens near the wood-attribute Spiritual Qi Cave Heaven, was confirmed.

However, the truth was even more exaggerated than the rumors.

Because there were not just two hidden Cave Heavens, but four.

The five Cave Heavens belonged to the Five Elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, respectively, yet they subtly formed a Formation, appearing as one entity.

The discovery of these Five Elements Cave Heaven was truly astonishing.

It even attracted the covetous gaze of the Five Old Men Association.

The two sides fought a battle near the Cave Heaven, and ultimately, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance repelled the Five Old Men Association at the cost of losing a Soul Transformation powerhouse.

Later, to avoid further disputes and to protect these Five Elements Cave Heaven, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance spent a huge price to relocate them as a whole to their territory, near Tian Yu State.

Li Fan firmly recorded this information in his mind, as these were important channels for profit in the next life.

Good news everyone, “My Simulated Path to Immortality” will be launched on Sanjiang Pavilion this Sunday.

Thank you for your support, fellow Daoists!

P.S.: It will be released next Friday.
