Chapter 71: Li Realm, All living beings

After Li Fan left Liuli Island, he followed the directions given by He Zhenghao and flew west for two days until he arrived at a sea area filled with reefs and whirlpools.

Activating the Hiding Talisman, Li Fan dove into the sea and found the entrance to the Li Realm in a ruin deep on the seabed.

It was an unassuming well.

Upon entering the well, Li Fan felt a familiar aura, similar to the Void Abyss of the Great Xuan.

Continuing down the passage in the well, after an unknown amount of time, Li Fan suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.

When he regained his senses, the seawater was gone, and he was already in a pitch-black, boundless space.

"It seems that the Immortal Severing Grand Formation sealing each Small World is the same." Li Fan looked out at this space and pondered.

A colony of tens of thousands of Rift Whales was hidden in the darkness, tirelessly carving out space, pushing the Li Realm away from the Cultivation World.

Just like the Great Xuan where Li Fan had previously been.

The Rift Whales were very sensitive to the aura of Mortals, but they turned a blind eye to Immortal Cultivators.

However, Li Fan still chose to carefully avoid the Rift Whales as he arrived before the thunder layer.

At this moment, He Zhenghao's instructions surfaced in his mind again.

"The Immortal Severing Grand Formation isolates the Li Realm from the Cultivation World. If one forces their way through, even a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator must be careful. However, as long as you pass through the Formation according to the method I described, you will not trigger the Grand Formation's attack…"

Li Fan circulated his Spiritual Qi according to the method He Zhenghao described, then flew into the thunder layer.

He stayed in place for a while; the violent thunder constantly fell around Li Fan, but not a single bolt struck him.

"It really is effective. In this way, I can pass through this Immortal Severing Grand Formation even without the Taiyan Boat. The ordinary wooden boat given to the Mortals of the Li Realm simply fixes this fluctuation through the Formation, thereby avoiding the Immortal Severing Grand Formation's attack."

"The Taiyan Boat passes through the Immortal Severing Grand Formation using a method set at the time of its construction. He Zhenghao, on the other hand, effectively hacked the Grand Formation's defense system and opened a secret door for himself."

"It seems he wasn't boasting. His attainments in the way of Formations are indeed extraordinary."

With the information verified, Li Fan no longer chose to cross with his Physical Body.

He immediately deployed the Taiyan Boat, passed through the Immortal Severing Grand Formation with ease, and headed towards the Da Li.

…

The Da Li and the Great Xuan were both Mortal worlds, and the general situation was similar.

It was just that in the center of this world, there was a volcano several thousand meters high.

The volcano would erupt once every two or three hundred years, causing countless casualties.

Moreover, the intervals were becoming more frequent, and the scale of the eruptions was growing larger.

The upper ruling class of the Da Li Imperial Dynasty feared that one day, the volcano would completely turn this world into a lava Hell, so they were desperately looking for a way to escape this world.

But they could never find a way out.

Until fifty years ago, an Immortal Master suddenly descended. He promised that he could take a group of people away from here every ten years.

The condition was to help him collect the supplies on a list.

The nobles of the Da Li naturally agreed with full joy.

Thus, the transaction between the two sides had been going on for fifty years.

And the time agreed upon by both parties for this transaction was drawing closer, so in the four watchtowers of the Da Li capital, there were always Immortal-watching officials on duty.

Therefore, when Li Fan flew over the Da Li capital, he heard the constant sound of bells ringing below.

Not long after, the Da Li Emperor, leading the civil and military officials, arrived before Li Fan.

"Greetings, Immortal Master!"

In the square, the Da Li Emperor and the officials knelt on the ground and shouted in unison.

"The appointed day has arrived. Have you gathered the supplies?" Li Fan asked coldly from high above.

The Da Li Emperor replied hurriedly: "Reporting to the Immortal Master, the items on the list are all ready."

Li Fan nodded: "In that case, take me to get them."

Thus, led personally by the Da Li Emperor, Li Fan arrived at the imperial treasury.

Here, the supplies that He Zhenghao had asked them to prepare had been sorted and stacked, and each one had been labeled with its name and quantity.

Li Fan swept his Divine Sense across them and nodded with satisfaction.

Not only were the corresponding supplies not lacking, but each item was slightly more than requested.

After putting the supplies into the Storage Ring given by He Zhenghao, this mission was considered successfully completed.

It was smooth sailing, without any twists or turns.

Except for the time needed to travel, the rest of the risks were almost equal to zero.

It was no wonder He Zhenghao was thinking about it; it was truly a business with ten thousand times the profit.

Handing the wooden boat engraved with the Formation to the Da Li Emperor, and watching the joyful expression on the other's face, Li Fan suddenly asked: "I wonder if the Guardian of the South of the Da Li is here today?"

The Emperor was stunned; in the past, the Immortal Master would just take the supplies and fly away. He did not know why he was suddenly asking about the Guardian of the South today.

Not daring to be slow, the Emperor replied with some trepidation: "Reporting to the Immortal Master, my brother guards the southern frontier all year round and is not in the capital."

"However, his son, Xiao Heng, is here." Fearing to anger the Immortal Master, the Emperor added quickly.

Li Fan nodded, knowing that Xiao Heng was being kept in the capital as a hostage, and was not surprised: "Where is he now? Take me to see him!"

The Emperor did not know where a mere hostage of the Guardian of the South usually lived. Unable to answer, he was stunned on the spot, his forehead breaking out in cold sweat.

Fortunately, a guard eunuch beside him whispered hurriedly: "Your Majesty, that Xiao Heng should be fostered at Scholar Su's home."

"The Su family, then…" Li Fan felt a stir in his heart upon hearing this.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly arranged for someone to lead the way.

Before long, Li Fan saw Xiao Heng at the Su residence.

At this time, he was only a seven or eight-year-old child. Suddenly surrounded by so many strangers, his little face was full of nervousness.

The small figure overlapped with the image of Xiao Heng in his memory, and Li Fan chuckled.

"I see this child has extraordinary talent; he will surely not remain in a pond for long." He suddenly said.

The people present had different expressions upon hearing this, looking at Xiao Heng, who still had a confused expression and did not know what had happened.

Then Li Fan lightly pointed a finger at Xiao Heng's forehead.

He transmitted the "Mystic Yellow Heart Cleansing Mantra" and the method for using the accompanying medicine to him.

"When I come again in ten years, I will personally take him away." Scanning the crowd, Li Fan said indifferently.

For a moment, those who had had crooked thoughts in their minds were all sweating profusely, trembling with fear.

The Da Li Emperor naturally understood the meaning in Li Fan's words and hurriedly promised: "Rest assured, Immortal Master, I will take good care of him."

Li Fan nodded with satisfaction.

He was not yet firmly established in the Cultivation World, and in two years, he would have to explore the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, with his future uncertain.

He could only transmit the "Mystic Yellow Heart Cleansing Mantra" to Xiao Heng first and wait until he was mature in the future to come and take him into the Cultivation World.

With the Li Realm affairs finished, Li Fan prepared to leave.

But he suddenly heard a childish voice ring out from the crowd.

"I beg the Immortal Master to save my sister!"
