Heavenly palm seems to be a light brush

Li Fan's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, and he once again increased the intensity of his Devouring Heaven and Earth Great Art.

The power of the earth veins, which had traveled tens of thousands of miles, all flowed into Li Fan's body.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Li Fan seemed to faintly hear the sound of collisions and roars coming from inside his own body.

In this struggle, it was as if something was slowly breaking.

A crisp cracking sound seemed to come from his ears.

A moment later.

Li Fan's cultivation soared, and his Aura continuously climbed. In the blink of an eye, he went from having just broken through to the Golden Core Middle Stage to advancing towards the Golden Core Late Stage.

Just then…

Li Fan suddenly felt that the seabed, which had originally been somewhat bright, became completely dark.

It wasn't just darkness in his vision.

It was also the claustrophobic feeling of space being sealed off.

Without pausing his Devouring Heaven and Earth Great Art, Li Fan simultaneously looked up.

He saw a giant palm appear above his head at some unknown time.

Obscuring everything, it pressed down directly.

In front of it, Li Fan was as tiny as an ant.

"Damn it!"

Looking at this powerful being that had appeared out of nowhere, Li Fan cursed inwardly.

However, the Clone was currently operating the Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth Great Art, as if it had eaten the guts of a bear and a leopard. Facing this terrifying giant palm, it showed no fear.

Instead, it opened its mouth, wanting to swallow the giant palm as well!

The result, of course…

Was undoubtedly negative.

The next moment, Li Fan lost contact with his Clone.

The silver lining in this misfortune was that the mysterious entity that had made a move seemed to have no intention of investigating further.

It didn't follow the clues to find Li Fan's true body.

Otherwise, Li Fan might have been forced to Huan Zhen again.

Li Fan carefully recalled the timing of the giant hand's appearance.

"It seems to be because I forcibly broke through the Heaven's Calamity that it was attracted?"

"Is it a countermeasure from Heaven and Earth, or…"

Frowning slightly, the hua dao stone crystal in Li Fan's mind glowed with blue light.

In the last second before the Clone was crushed, he, using the Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth Great Art, actually absorbed a trace of energy from that giant hand.

If the opponent was a Cultivator, Li Fan would undoubtedly have been unable to do this.

Constantly savoring the taste of that wisp of energy, Li Fan looked thoughtful.

"It's more like pure rule power."

"It seems somewhat similar to Senior Brother Zhang's Vow Dharma Body."

"It doesn't usually appear in the world, but it will make a move under specific circumstances…"

"I originally planned to use the 【Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth Great Art】 to first raise my Clone's cultivation to Golden Core Perfection, accumulating experience for breaking through to Nascent Soul. Who would have thought that even this could lead to an unexpected disaster."

"Thankfully it was just a Clone."

Li Fan sighed inwardly, already accustomed to the Xuanhuang World's dangers.

He quietly left Wanxian Island, found an uninhabited place, and after some effort, recreated "Zhou Qingang."

The Clone nodded slightly, bade farewell to the true body, and headed towards the scene of the incident.

He wanted to see what the sea area would look like after suffering that palm strike from the sky.

Not long after, Li Fan returned to the scene.

To his great surprise, the sea surface was calm, and the sky was clear with light clouds.

There was no sign of disaster having struck.

It was as if everything that had just happened was merely his illusion.

Li Fan pondered for a moment and then dived into the sea.

When he clearly saw the scenery on the seabed, his pupils couldn't help but contract sharply.

The original ruins of the sunken island no longer existed.

Instead, there was sand that looked exactly like an ordinary seabed.

It wasn't pure destruction; it was more like a complete obliteration of existence!

After a deep gaze, Zhou Qingang returned to Taian Island without a change in expression and quietly lay low.

In the tianxuan mirror.

Through the eyes of his Clone, Li Fan saw the result of the giant palm's strike and looked thoughtful.

"Because I forcibly broke the Heaven's Calamity, I violated some taboo, so it had to be erased?"

"And everything happened silently."

"What if one could survive that palm strike?"

"Would they no longer be troubled by Bottlenecks? Of course, it might also attract an even more terrifying existence."

The suicidal thought lasted only a moment before Li Fan dispelled it.

"However, in the previous life, after a few more days, the Heaven's Calamity would mysteriously disappear on its own. I wonder what the reason for that was."

After this sudden suppression by the giant palm, Li Fan abandoned the idea of letting his Clone also cultivate.

It was better to honestly be a tool person and sacrifice himself to escape at crucial moments.

Since the attempt to gain early insight into Nascent Soul Formation through his Clone failed, Li Fan had to settle for the next best thing and purchase relevant experience summaries from the tianxuan mirror.

Everyone's insights were vastly different, yet each had its own merits, with little distinction in quality.

Li Fan, being rich and powerful, bought them all to study carefully.

Time slowly passed as Li Fan cultivated and comprehended.

Soon, it was time for the second investment with He Zhenghao.

Since the last time had started well, He Zhenghao's harvest this time was quite good, having raised a total of five hundred and fifty thousand contribution points.

After confirming with Li Fan, He Zhenghao immediately transferred the contribution points.

At the same time, he also added his own one hundred thousand contribution points.

"One million contribution points in one year," Li Fan said concisely.

He Zhenghao was overjoyed, and a string of flattering words spilled out.

Li Fan was too lazy to listen and directly hung up the communication.

At the same time, he looked at the list of people who had raised funds this time.

What made him somewhat concerned was that the Cultivator named Zhou Peng still accounted for the largest share.

"Interesting, so confident in me? Aren't you afraid I'll run away with the money?"

"And how did a Foundation Establishment cultivator like He Zhenghao get so many contribution points?"

Li Fan had heard He Zhenghao occasionally mention this person in his previous life.

He was a good friend who often gathered with He Zhenghao to discuss investment strategies.

He seemed to have a close relationship with a certain Cultivator from Tianji Hall, so he was well-informed and often led everyone to make a small profit.

Therefore, he had considerable prestige within their small group.

In previous lives, when He Zhenghao planned to speculate on lingwu grass, this person had played a significant role.

"Hmph, no matter what tricks he has up his sleeve, I'm not afraid. I'll just observe him for now."

Li Fan looked at his balance of over six million contribution points and sneered inwardly.

Such a large amount of contribution points was enough to keep up the pretense for a while longer.

Moreover, the lingwu grass incident was approaching.

These contribution points would multiply several times over.

"My only concern is that such a large transaction volume will inevitably attract the prying eyes of those with ulterior motives."

"It's time to go see how Junior Brother Tian Yang is recovering."

Thinking this, Li Fan quietly came to the Body Transformation Dao.

Tian Yang quietly stayed in the Formation, absorbing energy to replenish himself.

He showed no intention of guarding against Li Fan's arrival.

Li Fan checked the progress.

"Almost."

"Soul Transformation strength should be fine in Congyun Sea."

"But outside of Congyun Sea, it's a bit lacking."

"Crimson Flame Burning Sea…"

Li Fan looked at Tian Yang, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.
