Chapter 248: The Divine Transformation

Li Fan, having gotten the answer he wanted, did not leave immediately.

Instead, he waited for the transformation of the tuna king to be completed.

A long while later, the tuna, now several times stronger in build, finally finished absorbing the vital essence of its kin.

Pleased with itself, it flicked its body and swam back into the ocean.

It didn't notice the five black figures stealthily approaching from the deep sea bed.

Due to its carelessness, the tuna fell into the encirclement of the previous generation of fish kings.

Five ugly and exceptionally fierce fish attacked it one after another.

Each of these fish kings was no weaker than the tuna.

Under their tacit coordinated assault, the tuna quickly fell into a desperate situation.

Flesh flew, and it was on its last breath.

Just then, Li Fan, from above the sea, projected a ball of vital essence through the air.

This was the purest power of flesh and blood essence.

It was the result of his Clone's continuous research into the human body's hidden potential during this period.

How powerful was this ball of flesh and blood essence, obtained from a Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivator!

For the tuna, it was even more nourishing than devouring all its kin before.

Instantly, its injuries visibly recovered.

Moreover, its body became even more robust than it was at its peak.

This unexpected turn of events immediately stunned the attacking fish kings.

Their offensive paused slightly.

Seizing this opportunity, the tuna, which had been in a sorry state of passive defense, decisively launched a counterattack.

Its ferocious body, imbued with overwhelming power, slammed into the fish king that had been the most aggressive earlier.

It was as swift as lightning, unstoppable.

The tuna's horn pierced into the fish king's abdomen, churning wildly.

Dark red blood slowly floated to the surface.

In an instant, the fish king was killed.

The tuna, eyes red with bloodlust, was about to turn its head to deal with the other fish kings.

But it found that the remaining four fish kings, sensing something was wrong, had directly fled, each escaping for their lives.

The tuna, having narrowly escaped death, was somewhat bewildered.

It wandered in the sea for a long time but couldn't find where the ball of vital essence that saved its life came from.

Ultimately, it could only sway its body and swim towards the deep sea.

Watching the tuna leave his perception range, Li Fan revealed a faint, enigmatic smile.

He casually cleaned up the traces left by the fish's battle, then returned to Wanxian Island.

…

Inside the tianxuan mirror, Li Fan sensed his Dantian.

Upon the Huan Zhen, which had taken the form of a cang hai pearl, sat a translucent small figure.

This small figure resembled Li Fan by seventy to eighty percent.

“The secret method of the Supreme Sect is indeed profound. This Calamity Body has already stored cultivation equivalent to five years of hard cultivation.”

“It seems everyone has made significant progress during this time.”

Li Fan nodded, secretly satisfied.

The Calamity Body was the method Li Fan found during his preparation period to store cultivation without Breakthrough in Realm.

This secret method, it is said, also originated from the Supreme Primordial Scripture.

In the Ancient Cultivation World, Cultivators occasionally cultivated too quickly, leading to an unstable Foundation.

At this time, Cultivators needed to actively suppress their Realm to solidify their Foundation.

The methods adopted by various sects differed.

The method adopted by the Supreme Sect was to form a translucent figure within the Dantian to accommodate excess cultivation.

Because the Supreme Sect believed that an unstable Foundation was one of the Tribulation of cultivation, this translucent figure used to deal with the Tribulation was also called the Calamity Body.

With the Calamity Body, Li Fan no longer had to worry about the cultivation feedback from the Sitting Mountain Skill overflowing.

However, the secret method did not state whether there was an upper limit to the cultivation that the Calamity Body could hold.

So, how it would specifically work next still required Li Fan to personally carry it out to find out.

“This method of the Calamity Body storing cultivation seems very similar to the purple pill within Zhang Qianmo of the Zixiao Sect.”

“Perhaps Zhang Qianmo had been suppressing his cultivation by relying on this before.”

Thinking this, Li Fan opened the Seated Discussion.

Zhang Qianmo's record had soared to one hundred eighty-six wins and seventy-eight draws.

Yet, no victor had emerged.

This couldn't help but make Li Fan feel a bit helpless.

And “I Am Invincible”, who had previously boasted of having found a way to defeat Zhang Qianmo, seemed to have vanished, never appearing again.

“He probably hasn't prepared his method yet.”

Li Fan could only think of the best-case scenario.

After a casual glance, Li Fan was about to exit when he was drawn by one of the titles.

“Combined Dao versus Combined Dao, Tianling State Battle Retrospective!”

His heart stirred, Li Fan couldn't help but click on it.

“The specific casualty results of this battle were not announced by either side. However, by simulating and reviewing it over a thousand times based on the identities of the sixteen Combined Dao Immortal who participated, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion.”

“The probability of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance losing this battle is over eighty-five percent…”

“Unless there is a peerless powerhouse among the accompanying Soul Transformation powerhouses, comparable to a Dao Integration cultivator, otherwise…”

…

Li Fan was reading with great interest when he suddenly found that this information had disappeared.

“It was censored so quickly.”

“So, there really is a combat power comparable to a Combined Dao Immortal in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's pursuit team.”

“Interesting.”

Li Fan mused to himself.

In immortal cultivation, the further one progresses, the greater the gap between each Realm.

Qi Refining killing Foundation Establishment, Foundation Establishment slaughtering Golden Core, Golden Core slaying Nascent Soul.

Peerless Genius might be able to achieve this with their talent and Divine Ability.

But for Nascent Soul to kill Soul Transformation, or Soul Transformation to slay Combined Dao Immortal.

It was almost an impossible task.

Of course, the situation of a tool person like Zhang Haobo was not within the scope of discussion.

As for Combined Dao Immortal executing Longevity…

Then the words “almost” should be removed.

“Soul Transformation comparable to Combined Dao Immortal, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's Foundation is truly profound.”

“I wonder if I can contend with a Combined Dao Immortal when I reach Soul Transformation.”

“Even if I can't win, preserving my life should not be a problem.”

Li Fan pondered leisurely for a moment, and seeing no more information worth paying attention to in the Seated Discussion, he exited.

After a major battle, a period of recuperation is needed.

For years 17, 18, and 19, Congyun Sea passed peacefully.

Li Fan also rarely enjoyed a long period of closed-door Cultivation.

In these three years, the Calamity Body's illusion became increasingly vivid and real.

All the Fen Shen Jade Slip given by Zhang Zhiliang had been learned and mastered.

The second hua dao stone had also been completely absorbed.

The performance of the blue crystal in his mind had nearly doubled compared to the beginning, and Li Fan's ability to multitask became even more effortless.

As for the Heavenly Physician Immortal Scripture, it was truly vast and profound.

Even after several years, Li Fan had only initially understood a negligible part of it.

However, Li Fan was not in a hurry; he had plenty of time.

After visiting Zhang Zhiliang and passing the test of the spirit awareness orb, Li Fan obtained the second Fen Shen Jade Slip from him.

Just as he was leaving, Li Fan subtly noticed that Zhang Zhiliang's demeanor seemed different from before.

It seemed that some inexplicable change had occurred in him.

There will be another chapter later.
