Chapter 220 Six Desires without Form

Chapter 220: Six Desires Formless Skill

By creating a Dao debater and engaging in combat with other characters, Li Fan hoped to find a way to defeat Zhang Qianmo.

This was just one of Li Fan’s many attempts.

He wasn't short on contribution points anyway, so a casual try wouldn't matter even if it failed.

“If it really doesn’t work, then I’ll just have to wait until I break through to the Golden Core Stage and directly subdue him with the Binding Insect Divine Power,” Li Fan thought to himself.

Temporarily putting the matter aside, Li Fan took out a dark blue stone from his storage ring and gently caressed it.

It was the hua dao stone he had obtained from Yi Xing’s tomb in the Heavenly Lock Treasure Box in this life.

In his previous life, he hadn't been able to remember how to unlock the Heavenly Lock Treasure Box, but in this life, when he asked the tianxuan mirror for help with deciphering it…

Li Fan, who had already mastered the secret art of “Dao Transformation Divine Unity”, easily memorized the correct arrangement of the forty-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine papers without any pressure.

“Next time, I won’t need to bother the tianxuan mirror, and I can save some contribution points.”

Li Fan touched the hua dao stone in his hand with his Divine Sense. In an instant, a dark blue light flickered slightly.

Threads of energy flowed out from the hua dao stone, absorbed by Li Fan’s Divine Sense.

And the blue crystal in his Sea of Consciousness between his brows seemed to become even more profound.

“These two hua dao stones were originally one. Although they won’t automatically fuse like Heavenly and Earthly Wonders, I can slowly absorb them using the secret method of ‘Dao Transformation Divine Unity’. Eventually, they will merge with the one in my Sea of Consciousness.”

“Currently, hua dao stones are hard to come by, and the one in my mind is only a Low Grade. It’s not considered very rare.”

“But every time I Reincarnate, I can absorb one more Low Grade hua dao stone.”

“Even if the effect of one or two isn’t great, what if it’s hundreds or thousands?”

“Quantitative change is enough to cause qualitative change.”

“Even, in the end, restoring the original transformation stone mother of Taiyan Sect is not impossible.”

At this thought, an inexplicable glint appeared in Li Fan’s eyes.

“The only limitation is that my Divine Sense is still too weak right now. The efficiency of absorption and transformation is too slow.”

“To strengthen my Divine Sense, the tianxuan mirror still can’t find any results.”

“I still have to rely on the Fallen Immortal Realm.”

The reason Li Fan was eager to change locations in the Fallen Immortal Realm was that the method of absorbing Li Chen’s body from the Purple Firmament Sect to increase Divine Sense seemed to be effective only the first time.

Subsequent deaths did not result in any strengthening of Li Fan’s Divine Sense.

“I still can’t rush it. I need to proceed step by step,” Li Fan sighed slightly.

With his mind focused on multiple tasks, Li Fan simultaneously Cultivated the Sitting Mountain Skill and absorbed the hua dao stone.

Time passed quietly.

Soon, it was again Anchor Year 11, the day the Yunshui Heavenly Palace opened.

Li Fan’s main body did not move, still diligently Cultivating in the tianxuan mirror.

He merely sent his Clone on a trip to Senior Brother Qin’s place and obtained a Nascent Soul Cultivation Technique, “Six Desires Formless”.

It could activate the six innate desires of joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, and hate, transforming them into six different Divine Abilities.

“As expected of the Chuan Fa Hall’s chief, Senior Brother Qin’s goods are truly inexhaustible.”

“Now Su Xiaomei also has a Cultivation Technique.”

“It’s a pity that with the Heavenly Doctor’s precedent, I learned his Cloud Water Illusion Dream Skill, but I don’t dare to ‘shear the sheep’ again.”

“If this Senior Brother Qin, who has already become a strange entity, notices something amiss, I might be forced to Reincarnate again.”

Li Fan shook his head regretfully.

Thinking of Su Xiaomei and the others, his thoughts shifted, and his perspective instantly switched to the Barren Island.

He had already locked onto Ye Feipeng and Xiao Heng through his Formless Killing Intent.

Now, turning his attention there, Li Fan found that after more than a year, Xiao Heng was already at the Refining Qi Mid-Stage cultivation level.

It seemed he was not far from breaking through to the Late Qi Refining Stage.

Ye Feipeng’s cultivation speed was slightly slower; he seemed to have just broken through to the Refining Qi Mid-Stage, and his aura was still a bit unstable.

At this moment, the two were sparring in combat.

Xiao Heng could now condense nineteen Technique of Calming the Sea Divine Swords.

The blue water swords flew up and down, like soaring Dragons, roaring as they attacked Ye Feipeng.

Ye Feipeng, however, remained calm in the face of danger, his figure like a ghost, elusive.

Wind rose under his feet, and he easily dodged each of the water swords’ attacks.

With every step he took, a water blade would simultaneously form under his foot, silently flying towards Xiao Heng.

But each time it approached Xiao Heng, it was blocked by a suddenly appearing water sword.

Ye Feipeng did not get discouraged; instead, he continued to press closer to Xiao Heng.

Slowly, just as he was already ten feet away from Xiao Heng, a cunning smile appeared on his face.

He suddenly discovered that, at some point, he had been tightly surrounded in the center by nineteen Technique of Calming the Sea Divine Swords!

No matter how good his movement technique was, he couldn’t escape!

“I surrender!” Ye Feipeng immediately shouted loudly.

Xiao Heng smiled slightly, and the Technique of Calming the Sea Divine Sword whistled past, cutting off a strand of Ye Feipeng’s hair.

“Fatty, you need to work harder! The hair I’ve collected here is enough to dress you up as a young lady!” Xiao Heng said with a smile.

“What are you so proud of? One day I’ll give you a good beating.” Ye Feipeng snorted coldly, tapping his feet repeatedly, and quickly retreated.

Arriving at the seaside, Ye Feipeng secretly pondered: “No, constantly Cultivating on this Barren Island, I’ll always be suppressed by that kid.”

“It truly disgraces the title of a Rebirth Cultivator.”

“I remember that around next year, that Zhang Haobo will rise unexpectedly. In just one year, he transformed from a Mortal into a Refining Qi Mid-Stage Cultivator.”

“Although I don’t know what happened during that time, it doesn’t stop me from intercepting his Opportunity.”

“And taking his Opportunity for myself.”

“Also, the year after next, the Tianyang Grotto-heaven will open. Although that Tian Yang is actually a Soul Transformation Puppet, as long as I successfully escape before he reveals his complete form, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.”

“Hmm, I’m a bit stretched thin on my own. I need to find a way to get Xiao Heng involved, so he can block those few guardian Puppets. With my speed, I should be able to sweep through and retreat safely.”

As Ye Feipeng thought this, he wrote down “Zhang Haobo,” “Tian Yang,” and other words on the beach, a look of anticipation on his face.

Then he erased the words with his foot… In the tianxuan mirror, Li Fan, seeing this scene, smiled.

“As expected, he’s planning to seize Zhang Haobo’s Opportunity. No matter, I’ve already made arrangements.”

“Let’s see if in this life, Ye Feipeng can attract the attention of the Congyun Sea’s consciousness and carry half of the cang hai pearl.”

Shifting his attention from the Barren Island, Li Fan checked the messages he had received and immediately felt a bit amused and exasperated.

“Fellow Daoist, this Li Qianmo you created is too much. It’s one thing that he can revive, but his strength actually becomes even stronger after reviving? That’s ridiculous!”

“I’ve already reported it to the tianxuan mirror; there must be a problem. How can a Foundation Establishment cultivator’s combat power be so outrageous?”

“Fellow Daoist, could you reveal who the prototype for this Li Qianmo is? I’m willing to buy this information from you for five hundred contribution points!”

…These messages were all from Cultivators who had failed in their battles against Zhang Qianmo.

Li Fan glanced at Zhang Qianmo’s record during this period.

Eight wins and one draw.

The victories, of course, were self-explanatory; after the purple elixir Rebirth, he basically crushed his opponents.

However, that draw was somewhat interesting.

The other party in the battle, although not strong, had an outrageously good defense.

His body was surrounded on all sides by a tortoise shell-like shield, and no matter what methods Zhang Qianmo used, he couldn’t break through the defense.

Even the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning only left a black mark on the tortoise shell.

And as that Cultivator gave a dry laugh, the black mark would return to its original state.

When Li Fan looked at the Cultivator’s name, he felt even more speechless.

“E Xinren…”

He immediately blocked this Cultivator, permanently rejecting his battle requests.

After blocking him, the refreshed Li Fan suddenly received a communication notification.

Opening it, he found it was from the Formation Great Master Zhang Zhiliang.

It turned out that their group had finally finished researching the Ten Thousand Li Rivers and Mountains Formation.

They had returned to the Ce Zhen Hall.

Since joining, Li Fan and he had only met once on that island.

This time, Zhang Zhiliang asked Li Fan to come to the Ce Zhen Hall.

He wanted to re-evaluate Li Fan’s Formation level and then arrange his subsequent work based on the results.

Li Fan didn’t delay, changed into his black and yellow Daoist robe, and arrived at the Ce Zhen Hall.

Zhang Zhiliang was already waiting.

Besides Zhang Zhiliang, there was another unfamiliar Foundation Establishment cultivator.

It seemed he, like Li Fan, also held the position of a Formation Repairman.

After greeting them both, Li Fan stood quietly to the side.

Zhang Zhiliang then motioned for Li Fan to wait a moment.

Afterward, three more Foundation Establishment cultivators arrived one after another.

Once all five were present, Zhang Zhiliang handed each of them a spirit awareness orb and said, “Let’s test your Formation level first, to see if you’ve been slacking off during this time.”

Li Fan took the small black ball, skillfully sent a wisp of Divine Sense into it, and began answering the questions.

They were all familiar questions, and Li Fan quickly completed the test.

The other four were still immersed in their spirit awareness orbs.

Zhang Zhiliang retrieved the small balls, a satisfied expression on his face: “Not bad.”

After the others completed the test, he said with a grim face to one of them, “Sun Ling, among the five of you, you ranked third, but I still have to dismiss you. Do you know why?”

The Cultivator named Sun Ling’s face instantly turned pale.

He opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to defend himself.

But in the end, he didn’t speak, only replied bitterly: “Junior knows. Junior has been negligent in studying Formations during this period, and my level remains where it was three years ago…”

Zhang Zhiliang waved his hand: “Good that you know. You may go!”

Sun Ling cupped his hands, bowed, and left dejectedly.

The remaining four, seeing this, all looked solemn.

“Alright, no need to be nervous. All of you are quite good.”

Zhang Zhiliang smiled and said, “Due to special reasons, I haven’t lectured you for a long time.”

“Coincidentally, the Haitong Island’s island-protecting Great Formation was recently attacked and severely damaged, requiring repairs.”

“You will come with me to repair it.”

“Taking this Opportunity, I can also explain to you the important considerations for the construction and repair of large-scale Formations.”

The other three nodded in agreement.

Li Fan, however, felt a stir in his heart and asked, “Great Master Zhang, I remember Haitong Island is located on the northern frontier of the Congyun Sea, near Yongliang Province.”

“This sudden attack…”

“Could it be the work of the Five Old Men Association?”

Zhang Zhiliang nodded: “It was a Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Five Old Men Association who caused the damage.”

“However, our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was in the wrong in this matter, so we just had to accept it.”

Li Fan asked curiously, “We were in the wrong first? Why is that?”

Zhang Zhiliang said helplessly, “It’s all because of Jiang Zhengji from the Yanwu Hall.”

“He said he was chasing some swindler and pursued him all the way to Yongliang Province.”

“As a result, he didn’t find the person, but was discovered by people from the Five Old Men Association.”

“Jiang Zhengji and Du Xingchang, these two are quite skilled.”

“Working together, they actually escaped from the encirclement of one Nascent Soul and five or six Golden Core Cultivators.”
