Chapter 162 The Doom is Predestined

“It seems that although the Sitting Mountain Skill cultivates extremely fast, the risk of cultivating it on a grand scale is still too great.”

“This time, I was lucky to escape with my life.”

“Next time, I might not be so lucky.”

Li Fan sighed, then recalled the Black-Clothed Dao Integration cultivator’s look of terror.

“Devouring Yuan for Rebirth, to attain Immortality?”

“I never thought that the mastermind behind the chaos in Dao Source State was actually the deceased Immortal Venerable Lan Yu.”

“Is he trying to reverse the laws of life and death?”

Although he still didn't know the specifics of Immortal Venerable Lan Yu’s plan, just from the Black-Clothed Cultivator’s few words, it was enough to glimpse the terrifying nature of Immortal Venerable Lan Yu.

He was clearly using the lives of countless Cultivators in Source Dao Province as a price to help him achieve the Realm of Immortality.

Among these fallen Cultivators, there were even subordinates and close friends of Immortal Venerable Lan Yu.

“I don’t know if Lan Yu’s plan can still succeed now that this Black-Clothed Cultivator has discovered it. However, no matter what, this Source Dao Province is no longer a place to stay. I must leave quickly.”

He had already agreed with Su Xiaomei and the others to act separately and reunite in Shi Lin Province.

In these seven years, with abundant contribution points,

even the weakest Yin Sisters had already broken through to the Late Qi Refining Stage, and they also had some Magical Artifacts for self-defense.

As long as they were careful on the way, ensuring their safety should not be an issue.

Li Fan looked around and found himself teleported into a dense forest, unsure of his exact location.

He tried to contact others in Mingyue Palace using a communication Talisman, but couldn't get through.

Li Fan pondered for a moment, deciding to first find a populated place to inquire about his current location.

He immediately chose a direction, concealed his figure, and flew rapidly.

However, halfway through his flight, Li Fan suddenly stopped.

His face was filled with uncertainty.

“What’s going on? Why hasn’t the unease in my heart disappeared, but instead grown stronger?”

“Is that Black-Clothed Dao Integration cultivator still pursuing me?”

“What a deep hatred, what a deep grudge?”

“No, this feeling is not the same sense of powerlessness and despair as when facing a Dao Integration Immortal.”

“The source of the crisis comes from someone else?”

“What exactly is going on?”

His experiences in this life flashed quickly through his mind, but Li Fan couldn't figure out where this fatal crisis came from.

Li Fan stopped and took out a necklace inlaid with a random teleportation Formation from his storage ring.

After activating it, the surrounding scenery shifted.

Before he could clearly see his surroundings, Li Fan took out another necklace.

He repeated this five times, not knowing how far he had been teleported.

Li Fan, feeling a bit dizzy, finally stopped.

The uneasy premonition in his heart finally subsided, seemingly having temporarily escaped this unknown enemy.

Looking around, Li Fan found himself on a plain.

In the distant horizon, continuous mountain ranges were faintly visible.

Not far away, there was a city. Li Fan went forward and inquired, only to learn that this place was already in Shi Lin Province, near the Nine Mountains region.

This city was called Luofan City, a remote small city without a Daoist/Immortal Cultivator Town Guardian.

However, to the north of Luofan City, there was a large city called Contented Splendor City.

There would certainly be Daoist/Immortal Cultivators guarding that place.

For his own safety, Li Fan decided that before figuring out the source of this inexplicable crisis, he would first go to Shi Lin Heavenly City via Contented Splendor City's teleportation array and lie low.

Li Fan no longer delayed and flew rapidly towards Contented Splendor City.

However, halfway through his flight, Li Fan quickly stopped again.

Because the source of that crisis suddenly reappeared.

Moreover, it was more urgent than before.

It seemed to appear out of thin air on the path ahead of him.

“Is this… arriving at Contented Splendor City via a teleportation array?”

“The opponent can actually pinpoint my location at all times?”

Li Fan pondered for a moment and did not choose to immediately revert to his true form.

Instead, he landed, took out various Materials from his storage ring, and began to set up a Formation on the spot.

“Judging from the fact that the opponent still needs to use a teleportation array, they should not be of Dao Integration cultivation.”

“If it’s a Soul Transformation Cultivator, it might not be impossible to resist for a moment.”

“At the very least, I need to figure out why they are pursuing me.”

“Otherwise, even if I start over, I will still encounter this tribulation in the next life.”

Giving up the idea of escaping, Li Fan’s mind instead became calm.

One Formation after another was subsequently laid out.

The Explosive Law Startling God Formation.

It can temporarily elevate the power of one’s Dao Law Moves by one rank.

The Chaotic Spirit Severing Formation.

Disrupts the flow of Spiritual Qi around the opponent, reducing their strength to a certain extent.

Five Elements Sword Qi.

Reverses Spiritual Qi into the power of the Five Elements, transforming into Sword Qi to harm the enemy.

Soul Shocking Spirit Seizing.

Using the bones of exotic beasts as a medium to launch a Divine Sense shock.

Replication Method.

After the Formation is activated, it will memorize the current Move and then replicate and unleash it.

…

Finally, Li Fan gathered the last remaining Devouring Yuan White Mist in one place.

He also placed hundreds of Explosive Talismans next to it.

Each Explosive Talisman could withstand the full blow of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivator.

Although the power was not too strong, the advantage lay in their large number.

He placed the White Mist and Talismans in a separate storage ring.

Preparing a surprise for this unknown enemy.

“It’s a pity that with my current level of Array Dao, I am not yet capable of creating an Array Crown. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so troublesome.”

“In this Cultivation World, below the Dao Integration, those who can kill enemies across one major Realm by their own power are considered Prodigies.”

“Those who can kill enemies across two major Realms are rare throughout history, considered Peerless Prodigies.”

“With the help of Formations, I can barely be considered half a Golden Core Realm.”

“But I don’t know how many rounds I can last against this Immortal Lord.”

With everything ready, Li Fan closed his eyes in thought, preparing to face the enemy.

Soon after, a fiery red light streaked across the sky, arriving in an instant.

In a flash, it flew above Li Fan’s head.

This person was burly, with fiery red hair and a bristling red beard.

He stared down at Li Fan with disdain, his voice like thunder.

“You sure can run?!”

“Hand over the little medicine king cauldron, and I’ll spare your life!”

…

The rumbling sound echoed continuously in Li Fan’s ears.

Li Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

“little medicine king cauldron?”

“Crossing several provinces to pursue me, it’s actually for this?”

“Is it some incredible treasure?”

“But it’s been almost thirty-seven years since I bought these two small cauldrons from Jiao Xiuyuan.”

“These two small cauldrons have no practical use and have always been kept in a corner of my storage ring. Even I myself almost forgot about their existence.”

“If they truly have some special value, why did it take so long to attract pursuit?”

Scenes from the past flashed quickly through Li Fan’s mind.

…

“It is said that after the Immortal Venerable Chuan Fa, before the great tribulation, the then Sect Master of Medicine King Sect, Liu Ruchen, already had a faint premonition that the world might undergo a great change.”

“Therefore, Liu Ruchen, with an extremely forceful attitude, led the entire Medicine King Sect, using the Medicine King Cauldron as a boat, to open the Void Realm and leave the Realm.”

Jiao Xiuyuan spoke eloquently.

…

Anchored Year 15.

A fiery meteor lit up the sky, streaking across the night.

Its whereabouts unknown.

And all Cultivators who saw this meteor felt a simultaneous sense of panic and sorrow.

…

“Good heavens, do you know where that fiery meteor landed? Cangwu Abyss!”

“That ghostly place is bottomless, no wonder no one has found it for so many years.”

Anchored Year 41, the star fell back to Cangwu.

Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi wanted to seek Opportunity.

…

“Last time, we went through great hardships to reach Cangwu Province. As soon as we arrived, news spread that the fiery meteor had already been found.”

“We couldn’t even see what it looked like, so we could only return dejectedly.”

Kou Hong complained gloomily.

…

Li Fan suddenly understood.

“Could that fiery meteor be the Medicine King Cauldron of the Medicine King Sect?”

“The Medicine King Cauldron, which left the Realm before the great tribulation, has now inexplicably returned to the Xuanhuang World.”

“And those thirty-six small Medicine King Cauldrons, which no one cared about back then, have now become treasures that everyone is scrambling to snatch for unknown reasons.”

“So, the calamity that would take my life was destined to happen here!”
