Chapter 394: Comprehending the Secret of Chaos

"There is no rush at this moment. During the nine years while waiting for Huan Zhen to finish recharging after Huaxu returns to Jie Li Mountain Peak, it will be the perfect time to do this."

"As for what exactly 'It' is, which is entrenched above Yuandao Province, perhaps only after achieving the status of Eternal Celestial Venerable in the future will I be able to uncover the truth."

"Before that, I will just steer clear of it."

One concern was temporarily resolved.

As this world was approaching its end, Li Fan organized his current situation.

During more than ten years of non-stop formation building, Li Fan, possessing the Divine Unification of Transformation Dao secret technique, had not neglected other matters.

He had finally finished reading the Heavenly Doctor Immortal Scripture in its entirety.

From this magnificent magnum opus, Li Fan could vaguely catch a glimpse of the Heavenly Doctor's philosophy.

The Heavenly Doctor believed that all things in the world could be healed.

Stones, plants, birds, beasts, people, mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, and even the world itself.

In the eyes of a true 'Healer', there was no essential difference between them.

A practitioner of medicine starts small and progresses to the large, summarizing and improving along the way.

With persistence, one could complete the transformation from healing people to healing the heavens.

Although the Heavenly Doctor Immortal Scripture did not mention a single word about cultivation methods, between the lines, it seemed to conceal many profound mysteries.

"It is a pity my talent is still a bit lacking. If I were a true Genius, I might have been able to comprehend a Cultivation Technique from it."

"Perhaps I could borrow a chicken to lay eggs."

Li Fan narrowed his eyes, a daring thought flashing through his mind.

Immediately, he suppressed it.

"Forget it, the risk is still too high."

"The Heavenly Doctor is a mysterious and unfathomable person. If he were to discover that the Heavenly Doctor Immortal Scripture is circulating in the world, who knows what kind of abnormal changes it might cause."

"Studying it myself just means consuming a bit more time."

Combining the Heavenly Doctor Immortal Scripture's understanding of living beings, Li Fan was also constantly modifying and perfecting his Creation Furnace Skill.

"Celestial Sun Immortal Master's 'eternal legacy' still has one final chance to be used. Currently, I don't have much confidence in successfully clearing it, so I will wait until my lifespan is near its end to give it one last try."

"I have also gradually grasped the essence of Zhang Zhiliang's 'Infinite Law' over these years. During the constant formation building, my level in the Dao of Formations has advanced by leaps and bounds. Combining theory with practice, nowadays, an ordinary Nascent Soul Formation Master might not even be able to match my level."

"There is also the Profound Yellow Heart Refining Mantra and the Mystic Life-and-Death Art; combined, they can quickly increase the strength of my Divine Soul. Although ever since the last initial trial, I am still in the recovery period, for me, time is the one thing I lack the least."

…

In his Sea of Consciousness, the blue crystal emitted a deep blue light.

Under the blessing of his Divine Ability and secret techniques, although Li Fan had learned much, it was not chaotic.

"Besides what I have already mastered, there are two other things that are equally useful to me."

Thinking of this, Li Fan used his hand as a pen, writing the character 'Chaos' in one go in the Void Realm before him.

It seemed that unusual energy was gathering towards the brushstrokes.

Li Fan stared intently at the changes occurring within it.

Unfortunately, it seemed his comprehension was insufficient, and the 'Chaos' character ultimately failed to truly take form.

After persisting for a moment, it vanished like smoke, leaving no trace behind.

"Chaos…"

Waving his hand to release a Five Elements Extinction Sword to erase the remaining aura, Li Fan fell into deep thought.

This 'Chaos' character was exactly an imitation of the 'Chaos' character stone in the newly born Mystic Domain where Li Fan had previously been trapped.

By copying the 'Chaos' character, Li Fan was able to open the Mystic Domain passage and escape.

But afterwards, Li Fan always felt that this 'Chaos' character was by no means as simple as a mere passage switch.

The eerie alienation scene at the center of the Mystic Domain was clearly inseparable from it.

"If I could comprehend it, no…"

"I fear that as long as I can reproduce this 'Chaos' character, it would be a Divine Ability not inferior to my Great Five Elements Nirvana Sword."

Besides the 'Chaos' character.

There was also the scene he had observed not long ago of the Five Elements United, the great explosion destroying everything, and the 'Reverse Five Elements United' of the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array.

"Currently, my Five Elements Extinction Sword simply uses the generation of the Five Elements as its power source."

"But in reality, the circulation of the Five Elements can itself produce immense destructive power."

"Perhaps I can combine this power that destroys everything to improve and create a new version of the Great Five Elements Nirvana Sword."

Li Fan sensed the power of the Five Elements within his Dantian and gradually fell into deep thought.

…

In the Xuanhuang World where Cultivation Techniques cannot be practiced simultaneously, there were no good teachers or helpful friends.

All cultivation knowledge was incredibly precious wealth; to obtain it, one had to pay a corresponding price.

And those true secret techniques that were not passed on were hidden deep in high pavilions, impossible to see.

In such a Cultivation World, if Li Fan wanted to obtain power far exceeding others, he had to rely on himself to slowly explore.

Unfortunately, worldly matters had not yet finished; just two days later, Li Fan was awakened by a message.

It turned out to be a message sent by Qi Buyi.

She first asked how his recuperation was going, then asked him to go to the Qianxing Villa.

Li Fan did not interrupt his process of comprehension, simply splitting off a strand of consciousness to control his departure.

"Next, you don't need to work so hard and participate in the construction of the Formation yourself."

"You just need to follow along and be responsible for the acceptance inspection."

Qi Buyi said to Li Fan with a smile.

"The one partnering with you is Huangfu Song. You are both acquaintances, so it will be convenient for you."

"The points won't be much less than building the Formation, and you can also maintain your second-place ranking."

"Normally, this position would not be given to you Formation Masters who are competing for the rankings. But if it is you, I presume others won't say much." As she said this, she handed him a Dutian Record again.

The previous Dutian Record and Duntian Shuttle had already been handed in when leaving the Five Elements Cave Heaven, and this one was different from the previous one.

It did not have the distribution information of various resources, only a simplified map of the various prefectures of the Xuanhuang World.

It was very similar to the miniature version seen in the super-distance teleportation Formation space.

"Work-related details and accompanying personnel can all be viewed through the Dutian Record."

Qi Buyi was still very diligently explaining it to Li Fan.

Li Fan, whose mind was mostly occupied with comprehending the Divine Ability, nodded somewhat woodenly.

Seeing this, Qi Buyi only sighed inwardly: "He is becoming increasingly frail."

"It seems he is truly not far from falling. I wonder when those life-extending treasures will be sent over."

After bidding farewell to Qi Buyi, Li Fan made contact with Huangfu Song through the Dutian Record.

The fat man's tone was becoming increasingly polite.

After the two met at the Dharma Transmission Plaza in Tianchen Prefecture, they arrived at Lanlin Prefecture, where the Lock Spirit Array was about to be completed, via a teleportation Formation.

This prefecture was located in the extreme south of the Xuanhuang World and was relatively remote.

They transferred several times along the way before arriving.

Having passed through I don't know how many White Mist Barriers, this made the already elderly Li Fan's condition even worse.

His eyes looked turbid and dull.

Although Li Fan was actually immersed in the comprehension of the Divine Ability, this did not prevent outsiders from misunderstanding him.

At the very least, Huangfu Song was somewhat terrified, fearing that this Li Fan might just happen to die right beside him.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist, feel free to rest in a moment."

"Leave everything to me."

Huangfu Song said so.
