Chapter 310 Target Five Elements Heaven

Countless black particles surged, like a tide descending from the sky, eroding everything they encountered until nothing remained.

Within the Congyun Sea, on Wanxian Island, apart from the mysterious Heavenly Fiend Sword, there was no other power capable of contending with Mo Sha.

The black tide enveloped him, and Li Fan's thoughts raced.

"Why did Mo Sha's arrival in this life disturb the Heavenly Fiend Sword within the Yunshui Heavenly Palace?"

"When I first entered the Cultivation World, there was only Crimson Flame Burning Sea, which presumably couldn't affect the Yunshui Heavenly Palace."

"In the twelfth life, I sent the Heavenly Doctor's statue into the Yunshui Heavenly Palace, but it attracted the Scholar. The two battled, and the Yunshui Heavenly Palace fell back into a Seal. So when Mo Sha annihilated the world, he didn't encounter the Heavenly Fiend Sword."

"In this life, because I was wary of the Heavenly Doctor's astonishing mind-reading abilities, I didn't choose to complete the Cloud Water Diagram task. And Si Kongyi, the only one who knew the secret of the Cloud Water Diagram, was killed by me early on. So the Yunshui Heavenly Palace remained suspended above the Congyun Sea. Until Mo Sha arrived…"

In an instant, Li Fan understood the reason for the battle between the Heavenly Fiend Sword and Mo Sha in this life.

His eyes gleamed, his gaze seemingly wanting to pierce through the endless black sea, directly to the place where the two were fighting in the sky.

"Mo Sha, Celestial Killing…"

"If I could witness their battle, it would be worth countless Opportunities."

While Li Fan was pondering, the black particles had already reached him.

Without fear, Li Fan raised his right hand high, offering his arm to the black particles.

Watching his body disappear into the writhing blackness, Li Fan carefully perceived.

There was no pain, not even the slightest sensation.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he might not even have noticed that a part of his body had vanished.

"Pure nothingness…"

Li Fan's heart stirred slightly.

In an instant, the Creation Furnace Skill roared into operation.

The power of his inner hidden reserves surged forth, flowing towards the area of his arm being eroded by the black particles.

Li Fan attempted to use this pure power of life to contend with the power of void.

It seemed to indeed delay it for a split second.

But it also felt like it was just Li Fan's illusion.

The surging blackness then devoured Li Fan's Clone.

…

Tian Yu State, Haunyu Manor.

At this moment, Li Fan's main body, like his Clone tens of thousands of miles away, raised his arm and closed his eyes in thought, seemingly perceiving something.

After a long while, he finally lowered his hands.

"The power of the hidden reserves is the power of life, the power of creation."

"The power of Mo Sha is the power of obliteration, the power of Essence Manifestation."

"As for the power of Celestial Killing, it is more like the power of distortion, chaos, and destruction…"

"Perhaps this is not the true original form of their power, but it is my personal perception."

"Such an understanding is enough to achieve Golden Core!"

After savoring his recent Dao insight for a moment, and then carefully storing it in the Dao-transforming crystal in his mind, Li Fan couldn't help but feel a little joy.

Heaven and earth have Laws; a Cultivator who glimpses them can form a Golden Core.

If the various Laws of heaven and earth were likened to exquisite paintings.

Then the process of a Cultivator forming a Core by "gazing upon the Laws of heaven and earth" is like holding a transparent blank paper and tracing stroke by stroke over the painting.

The result, while not comparable to a true masterpiece, is not difficult to make extremely similar.

The Golden Core Law of a Cultivator is still far from the true Laws of heaven and earth.

But even by simply imitating, it can reproduce some of its might.

"Originally, I planned to form a Core using the Laws of Celestial Killing, the Laws of the Vast Sea, the Laws of Blue Flame, and the Laws of Mo Sha, four Laws in total."

"Now it seems, with my understanding, I can go a step further."

"The Laws of Celestial Killing, the Laws of Blue Flame. Distortion and chaos, with calmness and rationality."

"The Laws of Mo Sha, the Laws of the hidden reserves. Creation and void."

"The Laws of the Vast Sea… are truly the Laws of water."

"Single water is difficult to sustain; if I can form a Core with the Laws of the Five Elements, it will be self-sustaining."

"More importantly, if this succeeds, it will greatly benefit my next step towards achieving Nascent Soul."

As the saying goes, one who does not plan for eternity cannot plan for a moment.

After Li Fan successfully established Foundation with Huan Zhen, he roughly planned his future cultivation path.

In this world, the path of cultivation is not mysterious; the direction has long been set.

After glimpsing the Laws of heaven and earth to refine a Golden Core, the next step is to seize the essence of heaven and earth to form a Nascent Soul.

Having read countless secret histories and having come into contact with many Nascent Soul cultivators.

Li Fan already knew that the so-called essence of heaven and earth refers to the various Grotto-Heavens and blessed lands within this Xuanhuang World.

The Xuanhuang World is vast beyond measure; those that existed in ancient times and were later Sealed; those that are newly born every moment; those that reappear after a Cultivator's demise—the types of Grotto-Heavens and blessed lands are countless.

And these places have become the proof for Golden Core cultivators to achieve Nascent Soul.

For Li Fan, his goal had already been set.

It was precisely that which once caused a tragic battle between the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Old Men Association…

The Five Elements Great Cave Heaven!

The stronger the Grotto-Heaven a Nascent Soul cultivator plunders, the stronger his power will be after forming the Nascent Soul.

Within this Five Elements Great Cave Heaven, just one of its parts, the Wood Attribute Grotto-Heaven, received the tianxuan mirror's evaluation: "Extremely large scale, extremely high Wood Attribute Spiritual Qi, extremely abundant various spiritual plants and herbs."

It's hard to imagine how precious the complete Five Elements Great Cave Heaven truly is.

And how powerful the Nascent Soul formed with it would be.

Moreover, the Five Elements generate and overcome each other, evolving all things in heaven and earth.

With it as a Foundation, combined with the power of Huan Zhen, it might lead to further changes at that time.

Although seeking the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven would undoubtedly be extremely risky.

For an ordinary Cultivator, it would only be a pipe dream.

But with Huan Zhen's assistance, countless opportunities for repeated attempts, plus the ability of foresight.

The Five Elements Great Cave Heaven will inevitably be merely within Li Fan's grasp.

"Completing the Five Elements Laws doesn't necessarily require personal travel and observation."

"Within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, as long as you have enough contribution points, there's rarely anything you can't buy."

"What's more, it's just a Golden Core cultivator's Core Formation insight; it might not be that precious."

Li Fan himself had already made a fortune from the lingwu grass incident, and later, when Jiao Xiuyuan sold the Small Xuanhuang Cauldron, he gave him another 260,000 contribution points.

This meant he didn't have to worry about it at all.

Thinking of this, Li Fan immediately searched the tianxuan mirror for Core Formation insights related to the Gold, Wood, Fire, and Earth Laws.

The Laws of the Five Elements are the most common Laws in heaven and earth.

Therefore, the results were surprisingly numerous.

Prices also fluctuated depending on the specific power, ranging from 50,000 to over 100,000.

Li Fan reviewed them one by one, choosing suitable targets for himself.

It's worth mentioning that what recorded the Core Formation insights was not some Jade Slip.

But directly a [Golden Core Fragment].

It seemed to be the remains of a Cultivator's Golden Core after death, processed in some way.

Li Fan only wanted to complete the Five Elements Laws, and he didn't have high demands for the strength of the other four Laws.

Soon, he had selected the suitable Golden Core Fragments.
