Chapter 255: Daoyuan is Tiandu

Chapter 255: Daoyuan is Tiandu

He Zhenghao was no longer the arrogant and hot-blooded youth he once was.

After decades of struggling in the Congyun Sea, he had long recognized the cruelty of reality.

He Zhenghao let out a long sigh and shook his head, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you jest. Ruo Shui's talent in cultivation far surpasses mine."

"Even if I manage to reach the Nascent Soul Realm in this lifetime, she might have already advanced to Soul Transformation by then."

"A Soul Transformation Weaver…"

"The gap in our status will only grow wider."

"I am old now and no longer harbor such hopes."

"As long as Xin Xin can visit me from time to time, I will be more than content."

He Zhenghao said with emotion.

Li Fan said nothing, just patted him on the shoulder before taking his leave.

Back inside the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan began to carefully search for information about Yuandao Province.

The entire province's population would periodically have ten years of their lifespan devoured.

Those within Yuandao Province might not notice it at the time.

But when interacting with Cultivators from other provinces, would they realize something was wrong?

During those devoured ten years, how would the outside world perceive Yuandao Province?

The Tianxuan Mirror contained a vast sea of information; there should be some clues about this matter, right?

Li Fan spent most of the day verifying this.

There was none.

Li Fan could not help but sigh, "Everything you can see is what they want you to see."

"What they don't want you to see has vanished without a trace."

He shook his head and abandoned his previous plan.

He focused instead on searching for the history of Yuandao Province.

"Investigation of Tiandu Relics," "Yuandao? Daoyuan? A Discussion on the Relationship Between Yuandao Province and the Ancient Daoyuan Land," "A Brief Discussion on the Lineage of the Grand Astrologer of Tiandu"…

Li Fan patiently flipped through one work after another.

These books about Yuandao Province almost all revolved around a single keyword.

Tiandu.

"The source of the Dao, the foremost of all teachings…"

"Such bold words."

Li Fan thought to himself, "Could Tiandu be one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects of antiquity?"

According to later research, in ancient times, [Tiandu] hung high above the Nine Heavens, overlooking All living beings in the Xuanhuang World.

It was known as the source of the Dao and the foremost of all teachings.

The specific Cultivators who once resided in Tiandu are no longer known.

The only name that has been passed down is the [Grand Astrologer of Tiandu].

It is said that the Dao Integration Immortal Venerable Blue Feather of Daoyuan Province was a descendant of the Grand Astrologer of Tiandu.

His Cultivation Technique, the [Heavenly Capital Feather Transformation Art], was personally taught by the Grand Astrologer.

Many of Blue Feather's treasures, such as the Tian Du Martial Arts Arena and the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace, all came from the Tiandu Legacy.

"Soon this year, Blue Feather's lifespan will come to an end. Before his death, he will set up the Soul-Devouring Rebirth Grand Array, attempting to reverse the principles of life and death and attain eternal life."

"It is said that when Blue Feather falls, the phenomena will spread across the entire province, visible to everyone."

"My main body cannot go, but my Clone can make the trip without issue."

Li Fan vaguely felt that the unknown entity devouring time might be related to the ancient [Tiandu].

But this was just an intuition, with no evidence to prove it.

"Regardless, the fall of a Dao Integration Immortal Venerable is a rare sight."

"It's good to see the world."

"I've heard that because Blue Feather was a Dao Integration Cultivator before the Great Tribulation, his death phenomena are also different from those of today's Cultivators."

…

With his mind made up, Li Fan began searching for methods to remove any possible unknown traces on himself.

As the saying goes, every profession has its specialization.

What [Huan Zhen] could not achieve did not mean other methods in this world could not.

As long as it could be solved by spending Contribution Points, it was not a problem for Li Fan.

Keywords: purification, curse, trace, elimination…

Li Fan unhurriedly reviewed the information that appeared.

All these solutions roughly fell into three categories.

The first was to use heavenly materials and earthly treasures to cleanse oneself and purify evil aura.

The second was to Cultivate special techniques, achieving a state of physical and mental purity and flawlessness through continuous cultivation.

The third was to hire Cultivators specialized in this field.

By paying a certain price, they would come to your door and provide service.

They would remove these abnormal entanglements on your body.

Of course, if unsuccessful, they would not charge.

With a try-it-and-see attitude, Li Fan contacted these Cultivators.

When asked what type of traces needed to be removed, Li Fan only said he did not know.

He just felt a spiritual intuition that something was off with his body.

This kind of explanation was quite normal.

One after another, over a dozen Cultivators came, ranging from Nascent Soul to Golden Core cultivation.

After they performed their techniques, Li Fan felt no effect.

Each Cultivator stared at Li Fan for a moment, then shook their heads, indicating they could not find any anomaly.

Just as Li Fan was about to give up, the last Cultivator gave him a surprise.

This Cultivator was named Fang Yang, also a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Upon meeting Li Fan, he observed for a while and was about to cast a spell.

But suddenly his expression changed drastically.

Without a word, he turned and left.

Li Fan knew that Fang Yang must have noticed something, so he quickly chased after him.

In front of the Dharma Transmission Plaza, Fang Yang, who was stopped, looked displeased.

If fighting were not prohibited on the island, he would have probably swatted this clueless brat to death.

"Young friend, please go back! I am powerless to help with the problem on your body!"

Li Fan looked anxious and said sincerely, "Senior, please save me!"

"I don't know why, but lately I've been feeling restless and uneasy, unable to eat or sleep."

"I can't even calm down to Cultivate."

"If this continues, I fear I will make no progress in cultivation and die at the Foundation Establishment Stage, ending my path!"

As he spoke, he gripped Fang Yang's hand tightly, as if he would not let go.

Fang Yang's face flushed red, but he could not vent his anger.

He lowered his voice and said, "Kid, I'll tell you the truth. Although I don't know exactly what's going on with you, it's clear you've offended something you shouldn't have."

"The level is too high, far beyond what a mere Nascent Soul Cultivator like me can handle."

"Even if I had a solution, I wouldn't do it for you."

"Because frankly, the anomaly on your body is like a mark left by that entity. If rashly removed, it will surely attract its attention."

…

Fang Yang said no more and stopped speaking.

Li Fan's heart sank; things were more serious than he had imagined.

"Senior, do you have a way to resolve this? If I can escape this calamity, I will surely repay you handsomely!" Li Fan said solemnly.

Fang Yang looked Li Fan over again, pondered for a moment, and then replied, "Find a remote Small World and Cultivate a purifying technique. After more than ten years of effort, you might be able to get rid of it."

"Of course, this is just a suggestion. Whether it works depends on your own fortune; I cannot guarantee it."

Li Fan nodded slowly upon hearing this.

He thanked Fang Yang and did not press further.
