Chapter 16 Solution

Chapter 16: Solution

Bright moonlight, frost covered the sky.

Under the cover of night, Lin Fan quickly slipped out of Celestial Immortal Academy. He knew that he had startled many people tonight and it was not advisable to stay there. Once he was cornered, it would be dangerous.

However, the gains this time were also huge. He had finally achieved what was generally considered the Peak of Blood Moving Realm, with one arm capable of lifting one hundred thousand catties. For now, he didn’t need to soak in the Crossing Tribulation Divine Lotus Pond.

At the same time, he also discovered that he had awakened an extraordinary Physique, allowing him to transform into a small golden figure, sacred and solid. His Physical Body had greatly improved, somewhat resembling the legendary Undying Golden Body.

This was truly an unexpected surprise!

“Eh, why is Ye Xian sister missing? She didn’t run away, did she?” Feng Wu asked in surprise, a little taken aback.

She searched in the immortal pond for a long time but still couldn't find Ye Xian.

This made her feel a little disappointed. After all, their battle was at its climax, and they hadn't had time to determine a winner. They had only competed in close-quarters combat; Divine Ability and precious arts had not yet been used.

With her Battle Intent soaring, she had finally met an opponent of comparable strength, but she didn’t expect the other party to just slip away like that.

“Hehe, you can’t escape, I will definitely find you!” Little Feng Wu’s eyes sparkled with a determined light, full of fighting spirit and resolve.

In her opinion, as long as a Disciple was from the academy, she would definitely be able to find her.

At worst, she could ask the Dean for help. She was a初代传人 (first generation successor), and her status was not low.

However, after a few days of searching, Feng Wu was still disappointed.

Because there was no little girl named Ye Xian in the academy at all. Even the Elder surnamed Ye stated that there was absolutely no such descendant, and they had not concealed or hidden anything.

“Who exactly is he?” Little Feng Wu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

She developed a strong interest in this mysterious girl, who reached the Peak a year earlier than herself. It was truly remarkable.

This made her realize that there are always stronger people out there, and some monstrous talents possess incredibly strong aptitudes and astonishing cultivation speeds.

What the world considers the limit is not their Peak… When Lin Fan returned to the dilapidated mountain gate, dawn was already breaking.

The golden morning glow flickered from the other side of the distant mountains, distinct from the starry night, like a scene of Yin and Yang alternating.

“Dao Master! You’ve come out of seclusion?” Lin Fan was surprised to see Qi Daolin, who had been in seclusion for more than half a year, emerge and stand at the mountain gate, as if waiting.

Ever since the matter of his Supreme Bone, the old man had become obsessed with research and hadn't been seen for a long time, only leaving a pile of bone books for him to cultivate on his own.

“Why are you back so early today, kid? This isn't like you, is it?” Qi Daolin asked, scrutinizing him.

“Naturally, I had a Breakthrough, so I came back,” Lin Fan said proudly, boasting with a smile, “I’ve reached the Peak you mentioned!”

“Not bad, keep up the good work, but don’t rush to Breakthrough to the next Realm. Your goal should be to surpass the Peak, until you feel exhausted and can no longer advance!” Qi Daolin praised him, a rare occurrence, with a look of joy.

This was even earlier than he expected. Reaching the Peak of Blood Moving Realm at just over five years old, almost no one was faster than him.

“Dao Master, is there a way to solve the issue of my Supreme Bone assimilating my own Divine Ability when I use it?” Lin Fan asked anxiously. This matter weighed heavily on his mind.

It wasn’t that his innate Divine Ability was bad.

Although it was a healing Divine Ability, it was incredibly powerful. Its healing aspect alone was formidable; as long as he wasn't instantly killed and still had a breath left, he could instantly recover to his Peak state, almost comparable to a Divine Pill and precious medicine, with a built-in mana regeneration effect.

Besides that, it could also assimilate other people's precious arts, transforming them into vibrant healing techniques. Even the strongest attacks would be rendered null.

However, it had a significant flaw: the precious arts he himself cast would also be assimilated, turning into harmless healing techniques.

If that were the only issue, it would be fine. As long as the opponent's precious arts also failed, and everyone fought with their Physical Body, Lin Fan was confident he wouldn't lose.

However, his innate Supreme Art could not be used continuously in a short period, meaning that in his future battles, he had to quickly resolve them in close combat and couldn't drag them out.

Once the enemy was given time to catch their breath, he would fall into a passive state, even more troublesome than Body Refining cultivators or beings with magic immunity.

“This…” Qi Daolin looked troubled upon hearing this.

He had searched through all the bone books but had never seen any similar records about the runes on Lin Fan's bone that could assimilate. After studying for so long, he still had no clue.

Those runes were very overbearing, contradicting existing rules and Profound Truths. They could forcibly convert other runes into a unified form, making them extremely powerful.

This seemed like a Dao pattern from another system, completely different from the current ones, much like the difference between Immortal Ancient Law and Present World Method; they were two entirely different sets of symbols.

Lin Fan could tell from his expression that the old man definitely hadn't found a solution. He said dejectedly, “Is there really no way?”

He didn't want to be a healer; he only wanted to walk the path of Physical Body becoming holy in the future. Ranged attacks were truly too disadvantageous.

“Actually… there is a way.” Qi Daolin stammered, not very willing to suggest this method for him to try.

“What way? Dao Master, tell me quickly.” Lin Fan’s eyes lit up, as if he saw a ray of hope.

Qi Daolin, unable to bear it, sighed and said, “Since the root of the problem comes from that bone of yours, if we remove it, it would be the most direct solution. But this process is extremely dangerous. One careless mistake could destroy your Dao foundation, turn you into a cripple, or even endanger your life.”

This was the only method he could think of, and it was highly dangerous.

“Removing the Supreme Bone?” Lin Fan pondered, knowing this process was very perilous. This bone far surpassed his other bones and flesh, second only to his head where his Soul resided.

But he remembered that the baby was almost killed because his Supreme Bone was removed. It was only because he had the protagonist's tough fate; if it were anyone else, they would truly die!

However, he was genuinely tempted and had this idea, not wanting to be limited by this bone for a lifetime.

Furthermore, Lin Fan was very clear that as long as he could survive, the regenerated Supreme Bone would be even stronger, like a withered tree encountering spring, growing more vigorously, achieving transformation and sublimation.

“You must be cautious with this method. You are still too young. It’s best to wait until you become a Heavenly God and find more Heaven And Earth Treasure before removing it. That would be safer,” Qi Daolin reminded him, warning him not to try it easily.

After a living being becomes a Heavenly God, their life undergoes a deep transformation, and severed limbs can regenerate.

Upon reaching the Heavenly God Realm, as long as the Primordial Spirit is not extinguished, the Physical Body can even be reformed.

By then, losing a Supreme Bone would not affect his own being.

Of course, Lin Fan was still very far from becoming a Heavenly God, at least not within ten years. He would have to wait a very long time.

“Dao Master, I understand!” Lin Fan also understood that not everyone was a destined protagonist, and being cautious was always good.

In the early stages, in Physical Body combat, his body was strong enough, and he had awakened the Undying Golden Body, so he was still fearless against any opponent for a short time.

“At worst, I’ll find a way to gain magic immunity again. Using both alternately should allow me to sweep through all enemies!” Lin Fan thought to himself.

Joining the Supreme Dojo meant his life would not be peaceful. He couldn't avoid becoming stronger and increasing his power, otherwise, he would be chased and scurry around every day.
