Chapter 258: Zhenghao Seeks Core Formation

"Could it be because of that great female Cultivator?"

Li Fan asked.

"That's not it. One thing is one thing; that one is still reasonable."

"In fact, this [Re-establish Dao] secret technique was personally transmitted by her."

Divine Oracle shook his head.

"Oh? Then why?" Li Fan was somewhat curious.

Divine Oracle chuckled but did not answer directly.

Instead, he said in a faint tone, "If every Cultivator knew they could become food for high-level Cultivators at any time…"

"Wouldn't the world be thrown into chaos?"

"Those great figures wouldn't want to see that."

Li Fan remained silent.

"However, there are no restrictions on using this secret technique. Little friend, rest assured."

Divine Oracle cut off the communication.

Shaking his head, Li Fan suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind and began studying [Re-establish Dao].

After a long time, Li Fan couldn't help but inwardly praise, "This Heartless Demeanor is indeed a heaven-sent genius."

"Using objects to metaphorize people, fusing with emotions, and empowering with techniques…"

After thoroughly memorizing the intricacies of the method, Li Fan did not rush to Cultivate it on himself.

Instead, he observed Ye Feipeng again.

Li Fan was very clear about Ye Feipeng's movements.

He absolutely had no opportunity to come into contact with the [Re-establish Dao] secret technique.

Then how did his dual Dao foundations form?

And how do they differ from the dual Dao foundations formed by Re-establish Dao?

After observing for a long time, Li Fan gained some insight.

So-called, all changes are rooted in the same principle.

The underlying principles of both are actually the same.

To use the previous concubine analogy again.

If Heartless Demeanor's [Re-establish Dao] is like exhausting all efforts to persuade his wife to allow him to take a concubine,

Then Ye Feipeng is someone born to open a harem.

The wife, as the backbone of the harem, not only does not obstruct,

But even secretly lends a hand.

"What a remarkable Physique!" Having understood this key point, Li Fan looked at the little fatty with different eyes.

"You bring me more and more surprises."

"I wonder what changes will occur after waking up."

"I have a faint feeling that Congyun Sea's all-or-nothing gamble must have another reason behind it."

Withdrawing his attention, Li Fan began cultivating [Re-establish Dao].

In his case, it was equivalent to the harem master being a beautiful lady skilled in transformation arts, capable of changing into the appearance of any other woman.

Thus, it saved the trouble of constant conflict between old and new Dao foundations.

He only needed to re-establish the Dao foundation and invite [Huan Zhen] out again.

…

One month later.

The secret technique succeeded.

Li Fan inspected his body and found that in his Dantian, the white jade light representing [Huan Zhen] seemed perfectly split into two clusters.

But their essence was actually one; with a thought from Li Fan, they could instantly merge back into one.

Overjoyed, Li Fan quietly left Wanxian Island and arrived at a remote, uninhabited seabed.

To test the gains from this endeavor.

"Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart, Dao Xuan Sword!"

[Huan Zhen] simultaneously transformed into two different rare objects.

Smoothly, without any obstruction.

"cang hai pearl, Dao Xuan Sword!"

Within the shimmering blue light, a broken iron sword concealed killing intent, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

"Excellent!"

Li Fan's eyes lit up.

"This move is perfect for ambush!"

His thoughts shifted again.

"What if they become two identical ones?"

Instantly, two completely identical cang hai pearls appeared in Li Fan's Dantian.

But to Li Fan's slight regret, the cang hai pearls inexplicably fused back into one the moment they formed.

And their power did not change in the slightest.

"Only increasing quantity, not enhancing quality…"

"Although a bit regrettable, it's still quite good."

"When in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, maintain the Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart state constantly."

"In battle, I can also simultaneously use the power of two Foundation Establishment rare objects."

After trying a bit more and familiarizing himself with the rapid transformation of the two Foundation Establishment rare objects, Li Fan returned to the tianxuan mirror, satisfied.

"According to the secret technique's instructions, after opening dual Dao foundations, the difficulty of establishing new Dao foundations will multiply."

"Indeed, I also feel that dual Dao foundations are already my limit."

"I wonder if there will be opportunities to increase them in the future."

"Even so, dual Dao foundations are greatly beneficial to me."

"One foreseeable benefit is that when I condense my Golden Core with the four methods of Celestial Killing, Vast Sea, Ink Kill, and Blue Flame, it will be much easier. The speed requirement for Huan Zhen switching forms is nearly halved."

"There are still 6 years until Crimson Flame Burning Sea descends."

"This life has many variables; to be safe, I should leave Congyun Sea early."

"Anchored at year 26, I can head to Shi Lin Province."

"Hmm, find an excuse to bring He Zhenghao along…"

As they say, coincidences happen.

Just as Li Fan thought of Fellow Daoist He, He Zhenghao sent a message.

Upon reading it, Li Fan was immediately somewhat surprised and delighted.

He XinXin had been wandering around Congyun Sea with He Zhenghao's company for over a year.

Not long ago, Heng Ruoshui finally issued an ultimatum, telling her to hurry home.

Although He XinXin was reluctant, she had already had her fun.

And her father was no longer in mortal danger.

Not daring to disobey her mother's command, the young girl tearfully bid farewell to her father.

Promising to visit often in the future, after seeing off his daughter, He Zhenghao ignited a long-lost fighting spirit.

As if returning to his youth, his cultivation was full of motivation.

With a daughter, no regrets, and all knots in his heart untied.

He Zhenghao's cultivation speed was truly a thousand miles a day.

Not long after, he had already broken through the Bottleneck and was about to condense his Golden Core.

This message was sent because he wanted to go out [Observing Methods] for Core Formation, asking Li Fan to accompany him for support.

Li Fan had no objections.

After meeting at Dharma Transmission Plaza, the two arrived at Spirit Dragon Island in the northwest sea of Congyun Sea via a teleportation array.

Then they flew westward.

"Three thousand li west from here, there is a wonder."

"The Three Faults of the Seabed."

"Within a length of only a few hundred li, the seabed forms three major faults like steep steps."

"Between each layer, there is a drop of four to five thousand meters."

"Between the faults, due to intense geomancy, the seabed has uplifted many mountain ranges."

"With strange shapes, stretching endlessly."

"More magnificent and spectacular than land mountains and rivers."

"I Cultivate the Mountain and River Hidden Dragon Skill and need to observe this wondrous scenery."

"To condense my Golden Core with the three methods of Geomancy, Mountain and River, and Hidden Abyss!"

Facing Li Fan, He Zhenghao naturally did not hide anything.

Laying out his Core Formation plan in full.

Li Fan looked at him and saw his heroic spirit soaring, brimming with confidence.

An indescribable confidence between his brows.

A stark contrast to his previously timid image.

"It seems that for middle-aged and elderly men, having a sensible daughter is really quite important."

Li Fan thought to himself.

But verbally, he clicked his tongue in praise: "Fellow Daoist's ambition is truly extraordinary, condensing a Golden Core with three methods."

"I think in all of Congyun Sea, few can compare to Fellow Daoist."

"I wish Fellow Daoist immediate success in advance!"
