Chapter 176 Dream Return to Zixiao Sect

"Junior Brother? Junior Brother?"

Everything around him seemed to be separated by a layer of viscous, transparent substance.

When the sound reached his ears, it became distorted and strange.

The person seemed to wave his hand.

When the scene entered Li Fan's eyes, it was like a ferocious giant beast launching an attack.

He was startled.

Li Fan subconsciously wanted to counterattack.

However, he suddenly found that his Divine Abilities, such as Cong Yun Sword and Heaven-Turning Palm, could not be used.

Cold sweat broke out uncontrollably.

Subsequently, the words "Fallen Immortal Realm," "ritual," and "first exploration" suddenly appeared in his mind.

Like emerging from underwater, the surrounding scenery gradually became clear and bright.

Light and sound returned to normal.

"Junior Brother? What are you thinking about? Why have you been in a daze for so long?"

A young Cultivator wearing a purple and white Daoist robe, with a purple lightning mark carved between his eyebrows, was looking over.

"This is your first time down the mountain in eighteen years. Are you perhaps thinking about all the fun places Senior Brother told you about earlier?"

"Don't worry, once things are done. Whether it's the Mortal World Market or the Drunken Immortal Restaurant, Senior Brother will take you to experience them all!"

The young Cultivator winked and made faces. Although he was a Senior Brother, he wasn't serious at all.

Li Fan slowly came back to his senses at this moment.

"Zixiao Sect, Li Chen."

"Following Senior Brother Zhang Qianmo down the mountain to Ningyuan City to collect the longevity fruit."

In an instant, several pieces of information appeared in Li Fan's mind.

"Senior Brother is joking, important matters come first!" Li Fan replied indifferently, following Li Chen's usual personality in his mind.

"Sigh, how boring!" Zhang Qianmo rolled his eyes and sighed.

Then he lazily lay down, no longer paying attention to Li Fan.

Li Fan took this Opportunity to observe his surroundings.

He seemed to be currently on a purple cloud.

This purple cloud seemed to be a flying Magical Artifact, rapidly flying at high altitude.

There seemed to be a protective formation around the purple cloud, blocking the strong winds.

Sitting on the purple cloud was quiet and comfortable.

"Is this the Fallen Immortal Realm…"

Li Fan sensed carefully, a strange look in his eyes.

"It's actually a world evolved from the will of a fallen being? So real…"

Li Fan stroked the purple cloud beneath him, feeling the omnipresent Spiritual Qi in the air.

"If it weren't for the previous memories, I would almost think I had Transmigrated again."

After a long while, Li Fan finally suppressed the shock in his heart.

"First entry, good luck, with an original identity."

Li Fan recalled the precautions Chen Ying had instructed.

After entering the Fallen Immortal Realm, it was possible to form a Divine Sense Incarnation and explore on one's own.

It was also possible to directly occupy the body of an original creature in the Fallen Immortal Realm and obtain its identity.

Both situations had their pros and cons.

A Divine Sense Incarnation could exert its original strength and Divine Abilities, but without an identity, it would be a complete outsider.

Knowing nothing about the surroundings, it would be much harder to explore and obtain Opportunities.

Moreover, the degree of [erosion] of the Divine Sense Incarnation would also be much faster.

With an original identity, having a layer of "shell" as a cover, the speed of [erosion] was greatly reduced.

The time one could stay in this Fallen Immortal Realm would also be much longer.

Furthermore, one could easily participate in certain specific events.

The disadvantage was that the strength exerted could only be that of the occupied creature.

Also, one had to be careful not to let familiar people around them notice.

Otherwise, they would be seen as having undergone "Possession," attracting ruthless pursuit.

Li Fan browsed through Li Chen's memories, quickly adapting to this identity.

At the same time, he sensed the consumption of his Divine Sense.

Indeed, even with the body's protection, Li Fan could clearly feel that his Divine Sense was constantly being eroded.

The intensity remained unchanged, but the total amount was slowly decreasing.

"When the Divine Sense is completely eroded, I will be forced to withdraw from the Fallen Immortal Realm."

"At this rate, I can probably only last for half a month?"

Li Fan couldn't help but frown secretly.

"No wonder Chen Ying said that a Golden Core Stage Cultivator could only barely move around here. And this is with an original identity."

"If a Divine Sense Incarnation descended directly, I'm afraid it could only stay in this Fallen Immortal Realm for about seven or eight days."

"Forget it, I don't expect any good gains from the first exploration. Just consider it gaining experience."

Thinking this, Li Fan checked the situation of Li Chen of the Zixiao Sect.

"The exact location of this realm is unknown. The Zixiao Sect is the largest Cultivation School within a radius of ten thousand li."

"Li Chen and Zhang Qianmo are both Inner Sect Disciples of the Zixiao Sect. They are Disciples of Nascent Soul True Monarch Ling Yunzi."

"They practice the Cultivation Technique, 'Purple Firmament Thunder Control True Art.' Their strength is Late Stage Foundation Establishment."

Li Fan looked through the memories in his mind regarding the "Purple Firmament Thunder Control True Art," but found it to be a blank.

Although he was at the Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation level, there was no trace of heavenly treasures in his body.

The great tribulation had not yet descended, and immortal arts could still be cultivated together.

The immortal-mortal miasma had not yet appeared.

"So, it's at this point in time…" According to Chen Ying, the time nodes in different areas within the Fallen Immortal Realm could vary.

The time span was also extremely long.

At the current time point Li Fan was in, the Cultivation World was still relatively peaceful.

From this perspective, Li Fan's start this time was relatively smooth.

His thoughts surged all the way, and after resting on the purple cloud for most of the day,

Li Fan and Zhang Qianmo finally approached their destination for this trip: Ningyuan City.

Zhang Qianmo yawned and turned over to stand up.

"Junior Brother, I need to discuss something with you." Zhang Qianmo looked at Li Fan with a playful smile and said, "I haven't seen my Chixia sweetheart in years, and I'm truly itching with impatience, I can't wait a moment longer!"

"So…"

He winked at Li Fan.

"This small matter of collecting the longevity fruit, I'll leave it to you."

He patted Li Fan's shoulder, and without waiting for Li Fan's response, he transformed into a purple light and escaped downwards.

"It's better to act separately. To avoid revealing any flaws."

Li Fan couldn't ask for more. He controlled the [Purple Firmament Flying Cloud] and slowly descended.

"Which Senior Brother has come this time?" Before he even landed, he saw another purple escape light slowly approaching.

The fluctuations of the Cultivation Technique's aura emanating from him were extremely similar to the "Purple Firmament Thunder Control True Art."

Only, it was more than a little weaker.

The figure stood still, and Li Fan looked over, only to see that the person who came was a middle-aged man wearing a gray Daoist robe, seemingly only at the Late Qi Refining Stage cultivation level.

He seemed to recognize Li Fan. After seeing his face clearly, he cupped his hands: "So it is Senior Brother Li himself. I apologize for not coming out to greet you, please forgive me!"

At this moment, information about this person also flashed in Li Fan's mind.

"Song He Song, Outer Sect Disciple of the Zixiao Sect, manager of Ningyuan City."

"Let's not exchange pleasantries, important matters come first. Take me to get the longevity fruit." Li Fan, following the behavior style in his memory, said with a cold and arrogant expression.

Song He Song didn't mind, after all, the status difference between an Outer Sect Disciple and an Inner Sect Disciple was huge.

Moreover, this person was also at the Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation level.

For Song He Song to call him Senior Brother was already thanks to his position as Ningyuan City's manager.

He dared not delay and led Li Fan into Ningyuan City.

There seemed to be an invisible barrier covering Ningyuan City.

After passing through it, Li Fan's gaze sharpened, staring at the sky.
