Chapter 274 Ning Yuan is in a Suspicious Situation

Everyone marveled after Ye Feipeng finished speaking.

They occasionally glanced at the deep brown wings on his back, a hint of envy flashing in their eyes.

Thousands of miles away, Li Fan, who had observed everything, also showed a strange expression on his face.

"Kunpeng Bloodline?"

"Just a drop of essence blood, passed down through the Bloodline, even after thousands of years, can still cause such a drastic change in a person's Physical Body."

Li Fan, who had achieved Minor Achievement in the Creation Furnace Skill, clearly understood what kind of great power this was.

"How powerful was a Kunpeng at its peak?"

"Not to mention, there are many Yao Beasts as famous as Kunpeng, or even more ferocious than it."

"Now, not a single one can be seen."

"What exactly happened back then…"

Li Fan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"I wonder how Yao Beast essence blood strengthens the Physical Body. How is it different from my Creation Furnace Skill, which mobilizes the hidden power within the human body?"

"Perhaps there's an opportunity to learn from it, using the stones of others to polish one's own jade."

Recalling Ye Feipeng's astonishing speed and strength, Li Fan couldn't help but ponder.

"It seems that the little fatty still hasn't given up on competing for the heaven and earth spirit. I just don't know who will succeed, him or Zhang Zhiliang. Although Zhang Zhiliang's current cultivation is far greater than Ye Feipeng's, I have a vague feeling that the little fatty has a better chance, though I don't know why…"

"Let's see what other good fortune he has when he reaches Core Formation."

His gaze flickered, and Li Fan's thoughts slowly calmed down.

He picked up the white glowing cube in his hand again.

This object was precisely the Array Crown that Zhang Zhiliang had given him earlier.

Over the past six months of continuous exploration, Li Fan had completely mastered the initial twenty Formations.

And after dozens of failures, he successfully constructed a 'miniature Array Crown' using these twenty Formations as a foundation.

It wasted many precious Materials, and its power was completely incomparable to Zhang Zhiliang's hundred-Formation superimposed Array Crown.

But this was a good start after all.

It meant that Li Fan's Array Dao level had officially entered the inner sanctum.

The achievement was hard-won, and Li Fan was naturally excited.

This led him to allocate a few more threads of energy to Array Dao research during this period… for the sea of knowledge is boundless.

When one's mind is immersed and focused on diligent study, time always passes especially quickly.

Unbeknownst to him, it was already the 25th year of the anchoring.

On this day, Li Fan suddenly felt a tremor in his heart.

After a brief sensing, he knew that the restriction to enter the Fallen Immortal Realm had disappeared, and he could enter it again to explore.

"I wonder where I will appear this time?"

With a touch of excitement and anticipation in his heart, Li Fan paused all ongoing processes.

He held his breath, focused his mind, and set up the ritual.

"fusheng xuanhuang heavenly lord!"

The ritual was completed, his consciousness blurred for a moment, and Li Fan once again arrived in the Fallen Immortal Realm… "Junior Brother? Junior Brother?"

The familiar voice sounded again.

Li Fan was startled, staring blankly at Zhang Qianmo, who had reappeared before him, waving his hand.

"What's going on?"

"Why am I still here?"

"I clearly defeated him, resolved his obsession, and even gained a secret technique."

"Where did it go wrong?"

Countless doubts surged in Li Fan's heart in an instant.

This spatial-temporal region around Ningyuan City should be similar to Tian Yang's eternal legacy.

Li Fan was trapped here; if he didn't resolve the obsession maintaining the spatial-temporal existence, he wouldn't be able to leave.

But now… Forcing down the disappointment in his heart, Li Fan's thoughts raced, and he calmly began to analyze.

There were only a few possibilities for this situation.

One was that Li Fan's understanding of this spatial-temporal region was completely wrong.

For some unknown reason, he was permanently trapped here.

No matter what method he tried, he would never be able to leave.

The second was that Li Fan's understanding was not wrong.

But he had not yet truly resolved Zhang Qianmo's obsession.

Whether it was living happily ever after with Chixia, or seeking a defeat.

None of those were his true desires.

There was also a third possibility… Thinking of this, Li Fan's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked in all directions.

What maintained this spatial-temporal region was not Senior Brother Zhang's obsession at all.

Zhang Qianmo was merely a brilliant supporting character.

The true protagonist.

Was someone else!

Which guess was correct?

Li Fan didn't know yet.

Fortunately, he had enough time to eliminate the wrong options one by one.

Then, he would know the correct answer.

Crushing the impatient desire for quick results, Li Fan slowly regained his calm.

At this moment, Zhang Qianmo, who had watched Li Fan's expression change continuously, finally spoke, "Junior Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Did you have a nightmare in broad daylight?"

Li Fan smiled slightly, "Senior Brother is prescient. I did indeed have a nightmare in a daze, so I'm a bit unsettled."

Zhang Qianmo couldn't help but be curious, "Oh? What did you dream of?"

"I dreamed that Senior Brother was besieged by a surging tide of demons and strange beasts, outnumbered, exhausted, and died in battle." Li Fan shook his head and sighed. "How unlucky, I don't know why I would dream of such a thing for no reason."

Zhang Qianmo's expression shifted, and he frowned slightly.

"You and I are Cultivators, our minds are clear, no longer like Mortals who fall into nightmares due to random thoughts."

"Now that a nightmare has suddenly arisen, could it be that you subconsciously sensed something, and your mind is giving you a self-warning?"

Zhang Qianmo stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Li Fan felt a little speechless.

He hadn't expected that Zhang Qianmo could connect so many things from his casual remark.

However, he had inadvertently hit the mark, as there was indeed a small 'danger' in Ningyuan City ahead.

Immediately, following his words, Li Fan continued, "Could it be that this trip to retrieve the longevity fruit will encounter some twists and turns, and won't be so smooth?"

Zhang Qianmo was slightly taken aback, but he didn't immediately refute.

After thinking for a moment, he finally said, "Junior Brother, your worries are not unfounded."

"I heard Master and Junior Martial Uncle chatting once, and they mentioned that the Cultivation World doesn't seem to be very peaceful lately."

"To be safe, why don't you and I first secretly infiltrate Ningyuan City and investigate?"

"See if there's anything strange in the city."

Li Fan had no objection and nodded in agreement.

Immediately, the two put away their Purple Cloud Flying Cloud, which they used for travel, concealed their auras, hid their figures, and quietly flew towards Ningyuan City.

"Senior Brother, what is your greatest wish in life?"

During the flight, Li Fan suddenly asked.

"Hmm? Junior Brother, why do you ask?" Zhang Qianmo was a little surprised.

"Haha, forgive me, Senior Brother. Just now in my dream, I saw Senior Brother die tragically, his eyes fixed on me, as if he had unfinished regrets."

"His gaze was too real; even now that I'm awake, it's hard to forget for a long time. My emotions are hard to calm, hence this question."

Li Fan slowly said.
