Chapter 266: The Magical Power of the Creation Bell

Regardless, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s plan ultimately succeeded.

Not only did they kill several Dao Integration cultivators from the Five Old Men Association, but they also successfully exposed the spy, Immortal Venerable Zi Qiong.

It could be said that they thoroughly vented their anger.

As for the Five Old Men Association, facing this bloody reality, they could only accept their defeat.

The great battle in Tianling State, and the ambush in Tian Yu State.

Both sides lost one round.

The losses of Dao Integration cultivators would require time to slowly recover.

With both the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Old Men Association wounded, it was foreseeable that a relatively long period of peace was about to arrive.

This was good news for the vast majority of Cultivators.

As the shadow of war gradually dispersed, the little medicine king cauldron auction, organized by Jiao Xiuyuan, finally took place at the end of Anchoring Year 23.

Li Fan did not join in the fun.

However, it was said that the results were somewhat disappointing.

A total of four small cauldrons were sold in the first batch.

Basically, the selling price of each small cauldron was only around tens of thousands of contribution points.

Clearly, everyone still had doubts about whether the meteor that fell from the sky was truly the Medicine King True Cauldron.

Even though Jiao Xiuyuan adopted Li Fan's strategy and created momentum everywhere, the effect was minimal.

Cultivators willing to spend a huge amount of contribution points to gamble on future wealth were, after all, a minority.

Not releasing the hawk until the rabbit is seen was the principle most Cultivators followed.

Despite the unfavorable start, Jiao Xiuyuan was not discouraged.

On one hand, he still had a lot of stock left.

On the other hand, even if the remaining small cauldrons were sold at this price, he would definitely make a steady profit.

“I don’t get greedy in business. As long as there’s a profit, it’s good.”

That was Jiao Xiuyuan's original quote.

Li Fan, of course, chuckled at this, noncommittally.

His attention returned to his main body.

The people from the Li Realm, who had been living peacefully on the Barren Island for over a decade, had all grown into adults.

They were slowly starting to feel restless.

Especially Su Xiaomei, who would occasionally sneak out alone to wander around.

However, Ye Feipeng’s mysterious disappearance had always been a shadow weighing on their hearts.

This led them to not dare to stray too far from the Barren Island, fearing that they might be noticed by the Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance again and encounter misfortune.

Li Fan checked the cultivation Realm of several people.

Su Xiaomei, Xiao Heng, and Zhang Haobo had all reached Foundation Establishment Perfection.

But it seemed there was still some distance before they could Breakthrough to Golden Core.

The Yin Sisters’ Cultivation Aptitude was not too good; they were only at Qi Refining Perfection and had not yet reached Foundation Establishment.

As for Su Changyu, his cultivation speed was the slowest.

He had barely reached the Qi Refining Middle Stage level.

However, his mindset had always been very stable, neither arrogant nor impatient.

As for Ye Feipeng, who was in a coma…

Li Fan found him a bit unfathomable.

In these past few years, besides absorbing all the swallowed wind disaster energy, the chubby boy had also unconsciously wandered almost the entire Congyun Seabed with the undercurrents.

And the intensity of the Qi on Ye Feipeng’s body had continuously increased during this process.

Theoretically speaking, it had already exceeded the limit of Foundation Establishment.

Li Fan estimated that if he were to fully unleash his power, an ordinary Golden Core cultivator would definitely not be his opponent.

It seemed that the Congyun Sea was “feeding” Ye Feipeng in this unique way.

This caused the increase in “quantity” alone to reach a point where it could ignore the gap between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core.

And the giant beast phantom that occasionally appeared behind Ye Feipeng also seemed to become more vivid and robust.

It continuously swam around him, occasionally letting out a long cry.

As if it could come to life at any moment.

Li Fan suddenly had a premonition.

Ye Feipeng was not far from waking up.

Just like that, time slowly passed.

In the blink of an eye, it was Anchoring Year 24.

On this day, Li Fan, who was in seclusion, suddenly received a notification from the tianxuan mirror.

In Sitting and Discussing Dao, Zhang Qianmo finally suffered his first defeat!

“Could it be that 'I Am Invincible' has finally comprehended a way to defeat opponents?” Li Fan thought, feeling a little excited.

Opening Sitting and Discussing Dao, the result surprised Li Fan somewhat.

It wasn’t “I Am Invincible” who defeated Zhang Qianmo, but someone else.

A Cultivator named Zhong Shentong.

And this Zhong Shentong was not a virtual fabrication, but a real Cultivator existing in the Xuanhuang World.

“Zhong Shentong…”

Li Fan felt it was incredible.

Li Fan was extremely clear about Senior Brother Zhang’s methods.

In the purple pill state, killing Golden Core cultivators was as easy and effortless as slaughtering chickens and cattle.

How did this Zhong Shentong, merely a Foundation Establishment cultivator, defeat Senior Brother Zhang Qianmo?

With this question, Li Fan opened the battle replay.

In the void space, Senior Brother Zhang stood with his hands behind his back, his expression stern.

Not far away, an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in a Daoist robe, was smiling at him.

“Please enlighten me, young friend!”

As soon as Zhong Shentong finished his polite words, his expression suddenly changed.

He pointed with his right hand, and a sky full of green light suddenly emerged above Senior Brother Zhang’s head.

Every ray of light was like an incomparably sharp Flying Sword.

Continuously stabbing towards Zhang Qianmo.

Senior Brother Zhang snorted coldly, and Purple Firmament Divine Lightning appeared beside him, striking the continuously attacking green light.

Green and purple intertwined, annihilating each other and turning into nothingness.

Zhong Shentong continuously pointed his fingers.

Blue, purple, crimson, red…

In an instant, different multicolored lights emerged endlessly.

Like an unending river, the offensive never stopped.

Its density was such that Zhang Qianmo could barely parry.

The most terrifying thing was that this Seven-Colored Divine Light, whether it was a Divine Ability or a Magic Treasure, seemed to consume no energy at all; it showed no signs of weakening since the attack began.

In fact, the intensity of the light bursts became even denser.

Gradually, wounds inevitably appeared on Senior Brother Zhang’s body.

Although they would heal automatically very quickly.

But he still appeared quite disheveled.

In contrast, Zhong Shentong remained relaxed and effortless from beginning to end.

“This Seven-Colored Divine Light is indeed extraordinary.”

“Could it be that Zhong Shentong defeated Senior Brother Zhang relying on this?”

Li Fan analyzed in his mind as he watched the battle.

“No, that’s not right. Although the Seven-Colored Divine Light has astonishing destructive power, it’s only within the same Realm. If Senior Brother Zhang reveals his purple pill form, it probably won’t even break his defense…”

Suddenly, Li Fan seemed to realize something, and his expression became solemn.

“So that’s how it is…”

He stared intently at Zhang Qianmo in the fierce battle.

Wounds bloomed like flowers, one after another.

But in an instant, they were healed by the power surging from within Senior Brother Zhang’s body.

As the battle continued, this process repeated endlessly.

As if it would never stop.

But…

A Foundation Establishment cultivator’s power has its limits.

Although the total Spiritual Qi in Senior Brother Zhang’s body far exceeded that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, it was still far from being inexhaustible.

When the battle dragged on for one day, two days, three days.

His original power finally began to deplete.

Thus, Zhang Qianmo had no choice but to start drawing upon the energy stored in his purple pill.

When Li Fan Cultivated the Tribulation Body before, he had speculated that the purple pill in Senior Brother Zhang’s body was a method used by the Zixiao Sect to contain and suppress cultivation.

Now it seemed, that was indeed the case.
