Chapter 98: Destiny in Two Lives

The other party also said that they were specifically asking because it was rare to see someone as sentimental as Li Fan in the current Cultivation World.

Li Fan looked at the other party's name.

Song Weiyu, it seemed she was a female Cultivator.

To go or not to go?

A Golden Core Immortal Master's Immortal Cave, with a Nascent Soul powerful figure leading the team, seemed to guarantee safety.

But Li Fan thought for a moment and politely declined her.

All he sought was He Zhenghao's remains.

If Song Weiyu's trip was successful, she would naturally be able to bring them back.

Why take that risk?

And if there was truly some heaven-sent Opportunity within this Immortal Cave, he could always inquire about it clearly and go in his next life.

Seeing Li Fan refuse, Song Weiyu stopped talking.

After everything was settled, Li Fan began to Cultivate the Cloud Water Illusion Dream Skill.

Li Fan was still very attentive to Zhang Haobo, his pawn.

To prevent him from going astray and deviating from the growth path Li Fan had set for him,

Li Fan needed to perform illusionary dream transformations on him every so often.

The Mortal stage was easy to manage.

But once Zhang Haobo Broke Through to the Qi Refinement Stage, it would be much harder for Li Fan to influence his thoughts.

So, what Li Fan needed to do now was to Break Through the Cloud Water Illusion Dream Skill to the second level.

The Cloud Water Illusion Dream Skill is a rather special Cultivation Technique.

It has seven levels and does not correspond to Realms like Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment.

It is only related to the strength of one's Divine Sense and the intricacy of the illusionary dreams constructed.

The higher the level of the Cultivation Technique, the stronger the influence of the illusionary dreams.

Theoretically, even a Mortal,

if his Mental Energy was strong enough, could make even Golden Core and Nascent Soul great Cultivators sink into an illusionary dream.

However, it is usually the Cultivator's Realm that determines the Cultivator's Divine Sense strength, so such a situation is almost non-existent.

…

Three months later.

Liuli Island.

On the Cangyuan.

Zhang Haobo stood at the bow, facing the sea breeze, gazing at the sea.

His brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was searching for something.

Suddenly, he discovered a somewhat familiar-looking submerged reef ahead.

His spirits lifted, and he immediately leaped into the sea.

This caused a series of exclamations from the surrounding crew members.

Zhang Haobo navigated the dim underwater environment, diving deeper.

Soon, he reached the seabed.

If he were an ordinary Mortal, he would have long since been unable to withstand the immense pressure of the seabed and exploded to death.

But after three months of Cultivation, Zhang Haobo had cleared most of the ancient immortal mortal miasma from his body.

His Physique had also been greatly strengthened, and he was not far from Breaking Through to the Qi Refinement Stage.

Coupled with his excellent swimming skills, he naturally had no fear.

Zhang Haobo continued to swim underwater, and suddenly, his gaze narrowed.

His speed abruptly increased as he swam towards a skeleton half-buried in the mud.

Digging the skeleton out of the mud, Zhang Haobo indeed found a book at its chest.

Technique of Calming the Sea Divine Sword.

“It really wasn't a dream; I have Rebirth.” Zhang Haobo dazedly caressed the book's cover.

Although he had previously believed himself to be a Rebirth, the matter of Rebirth was too incredible.

Moreover, the scenes from his previous life in his mind gradually faded, causing him to waver slightly on the matter.

Fortunately, recently, perhaps because he was about to Break Through to the Qi Refinement Stage, some forgotten details gradually came back to him.

Including the place where he had salvaged this Technique of Calming the Sea Divine Sword back then.

So, he took advantage of this sea trip to come here and verify it.

To see if he had truly Rebirth, or if everything was merely a terrifyingly realistic dream.

Now, the appearance of this skeleton and this Technique of Calming the Sea Divine Sword.

Finally confirmed to him that he had truly Rebirth.

His eyes gradually became resolute, and Zhang Haobo tucked the book into his embrace.

“I can't delay any longer; I need to raise my Cultivation as quickly as possible. Only then can I prevent that calamity.”

“Qi Refining Cultivation alone is definitely not enough. My words would carry no weight, and I wouldn't be able to convince anyone.”

“At the very least, Foundation Establishment, or even Golden Core…”

Thinking this, Zhang Haobo slowly swam back to the surface and climbed back onto the Cangyuan.

The crew members, seeing their boss's solemn expression, dared not ask anything.

Ever since a while ago, some inexplicable change seemed to have occurred in their boss.

The captain who used to enjoy joking with everyone was gone.

Zhang Haobo gradually became unsmiling, and his imposing aura grew day by day.

He was almost like the Immortal Masters on the island.

When they were with their boss, they couldn't help but become restrained and fearful.

…

Above the Cangyuan.

Li Fan, with his figure concealed, watched Zhang Haobo from afar.

Under the operation of the Day Stealing Sun Replacement Art, he observed Zhang Haobo's Luck.

“Indeed, his Luck seems to have undergone some mysterious change.”

This transformation was extremely subtle, but since this change was initiated by Li Fan himself, he naturally paid extra attention to it.

Thus, he keenly perceived it.

Li Fan carefully comprehended the subtle differences between before and after, as if gaining some enlightenment.

“The Dao of Cultivation often follows the principle of 'one step fast, every step fast.'”

“In his previous life, Zhang Haobo only embarked on the path of Cultivation by chance in middle age. Although his Luck was extraordinary, reaching Foundation Establishment in just over a decade was already his limit.”

“This was his destined Luck.”

“But in this life, under my impetus, he began Cultivating more than ten years earlier.”

“Once Luck changes, it flows on its own. It's like standing at the wind's mouth; the strong get stronger…”

Li Fan murmured softly, his eyes growing brighter.

Being able to witness the before-and-after changes in a person's Luck firsthand was also a great Opportunity for Li Fan.

If not for the help of Huan Zhen, which allowed him to compare and verify the fates of two lives,

under the operation of the Heavenly Dao, Li Fan, like the vast Zhong Sheng, would be like an ant, struggling bitterly.

How could he know his own Luck, or even that of others?

Just as in his previous life, he could only glimpse the Heaven and Earth's killing intent after transforming into the vast ocean.

Only by spanning two lives could he know the changes in Luck.

In his Epiphany, Li Fan couldn't help but let out a low laugh.

“Perhaps, you truly will bring me a little surprise.”

“I'm really looking forward to your performance, Zhang Haobo.”

…

Li Fan, in a joyful mood, slowly flew towards Liuli Island.

Three months had passed, and the Clone Lin Fan was still in the Epiphany of “Life-Death Chain Lock.”

The Spirit Enlightenment state also hadn't stopped.

contribution points flowed like water, with nearly two thousand points already spent.

Fortunately, the Clone had a base of 100,000 contribution points, so it could withstand such consumption.

“I wonder what kind of Divine Ability the Clone will comprehend once he comes out of seclusion?”

As Li Fan mused, he arrived within the Liuli Island's protective array.

Just as he was about to use the teleportation array to return to Wanxian Island, he saw Yuwen Xing looking solemn, with a worried expression.

“Fellow Daoist Yuwen, what happened?”

Li Fan politely asked.

Yuwen Xing seemed to be deep in thought and didn't react for a moment.

“Fellow Daoist Yuwen?”

Li Fan had to repeat himself.

Only then did Yuwen Xing come back to his senses.

He looked at Li Fan and sighed.

“Something happened.”

“The team exploring the Immortal Cave, led by Gou Xuan True Lord, was completely wiped out.”

“Even Gou Xuan True Lord himself couldn't escape.”
