Reincarnation Arranges the Heavenly Situation

The "Han Wuyou" who had previously visited Sikong Yi was naturally Li Fan's Clone.

It had taken quite a bit of effort; he had pretended to demand a forty percent share of the Contribution Points, helped him deal with a Cultivator whose Cultivation Technique conflicted with his own, and offered strategies for exploring the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace together.

The ultimate goal was to plant a suggestion in his mind.

He wanted to make him take the initiative to trigger the task of transporting the white jade statue after completing the Heavenly Doctor's first mission.

Judging by Sikong Yi's recent movements back and forth from the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, Li Fan's calculations had likely succeeded.

In this life, he intended to push the Old Fisherman, the Master, and the Heavenly Doctor into a battle.

However, all these plans had a major prerequisite: someone needed to deliver the Heavenly Doctor's statue into the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace.

Only then would the Master sense the presence of the Heavenly Doctor within the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace and drive his ox cart across the sea to arrive.

Such a dangerous task was naturally impossible for Li Fan to undertake personally.

The Heavenly Doctor's four arts of "Look, Listen, Ask, and Pulse-taking" were truly terrifying.

Even a Clone that had been prepared in advance might not be able to deceive the Heavenly Doctor.

Sikong Yi, who had previously submitted the Cloud Water Diagram and obtained one hundred thousand Contribution Points, had naturally become the best candidate for the task.

But Li Fan was unsure whether Sikong Yi had received the same request from the Heavenly Doctor to transport the statue as he had.

To ensure that matters proceeded along the intended track, the scene of "Han Wuyou" paying a visit had been necessary.

Even if Sikong Yi or the Heavenly Doctor harbored suspicions about this inexplicably appearing Han Wuyou, Han Wuyou was already dead.

And he had died inside the treacherous and mysterious Cloud Water Heavenly Palace.

Li Fan believed that even if the Heavenly Doctor wanted to investigate, he would likely not get his wish.

Moreover, in the eyes of the Heavenly Doctor, that Sikong Yi was at most a greedy Cultivator blinded by profit who wanted to latch onto a powerful figure.

He might not even bother to investigate.

All in all, Li Fan's plan was seamless and left no traces. It also cut off any possibility of him being discovered.

It could be called perfect.

This was a scheme that could only be completed after several lifetimes of Reincarnation, having experienced various possibilities, and mastered a great deal of information.

Others could not replicate it.

Even a powerhouse like the Heavenly Doctor had fallen into this invisible web woven by Li Fan without even realizing it.

Although the extent was minor, the very act of "orchestrating a layout to push a powerhouse above the Dao Integration Realm to act according to one's predicted direction" was of extraordinary significance.

The gloom in Li Fan's heart was swept away, and he felt that the persistent shadow that had long weighed upon him was finally beginning to dissipate.

"No matter how heaven-defying your cultivation is, aren't you still falling into my trap!"

While his emotions were stirred, Li Fan was not carried away by this momentary success.

He deeply understood that this small victory was built on the premise that he had collected enough possibilities.

And from here on out, his advantages were exhausted.

He would have to face all kinds of unknowns, and he needed to be even more cautious and calculated at every step.

"I would rather give up than force it."

"The Heavenly Doctor is already in position. The next step is to inform the Old Fisherman about the Heavenly Fiend Sword being trapped in the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace when the Master appears in the anchor year of 16."

"This matter also requires finding an agent."

In an instant, Li Fan had already thought of a suitable candidate.

"Han Yi…"

Li Fan sensed the lock of his Formless Killing Intent; more than a year had passed, and this person had still not returned to the Xuanhuang World from the Sea Eye.

It seemed that he might have gained a great deal from his fortuitous encounter this time.

"No matter, he cannot escape from my grasp."

Li Fan gazed for a moment at the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace standing in the firmament, put away his thoughts, and returned quietly.

…

Body Transformation Island.

Ye Feipeng had been extremely pleased with himself recently.

Some time ago, that Immortal Master, who had ignored them ever since bringing them to this island, had suddenly reappeared.

And he had even broken precedent to check the cultivation progress of all the children on the island.

Those who cultivated diligently and whose progress exceeded expectations were rewarded with Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills.

Those who were lazy in their cultivation or whose cultivation Realm stagnated were punished by having to fight the "Villain Puppet" for three days and three nights.

While it was called a fight, it was actually a one-sided beating.

"Villain Puppet" was the name the children on the island privately used for that Puppet, which looked dull and foolish.

Originally, they thought this Puppet would be very easy to deal with.

After cultivating for some time, some children became eager to try and took the initiative to issue a challenge.

The first one to dare to be ahead of the rest was Sun Erlang, who was gifted and proficient in all martial arts.

In less than half a year, he had already cultivated from a mere Mortal to the Qi Refining Middle Stage.

Coupled with the fact that he was already proficient in martial arts, he could exert two hundred percent of his combat power when actually fighting.

In ordinary sparring sessions, almost none of the children on the island were a match for him.

Thus, Sun Erlang, whose ego had gradually inflated, took the lead under the gaze of everyone to challenge the Celestial Sun Puppet.

The result was imaginable.

Tianyang strictly followed Li Fan's instructions: as long as he didn't beat them to death or damage their cultivation Foundation, he was to beat them as hard as he could.

While being very measured in his attacks, he made Sun Erlang deeply experience what it meant to be sinister and to play the pig to eat the tiger.

It seemed to be only a sliver stronger than Sun Erlang's strength, as if with just a little more effort, he could defeat it.

Tianyang kept inducing Sun Erlang to launch attacks again and again.

But every time, at the critical moment, he would regrettably miss.

The highly competitive Sun Erlang fought until he was exhausted and fainted, and only then did the battle end.

The next day, after waking up, Sun Erlang had a realization.

He went into seclusion to Cultivate for seven days and seven nights and actually broke through directly to the Qi Refining Late Stage.

Excited, he decided to get his revenge and challenged Tianyang again.

The result… it was still just a little bit off!

Now the children on the island could all see that something was wrong.

This Puppet, which looked honest and simple, was actually teasing them on purpose!

In his anger, Sun Erlang was beaten into a faint again.

In the days that followed, no matter what cultivation level the children displayed when fighting it, the Puppet only used power that was slightly superior.

Some children, unable to suppress their anger, called Tianyang a big villain.

At the same time, some children vaguely understood that the Celestial Sun Puppet was simply the most suitable practice partner.

They started constantly looking for Tianyang to spar with.

Ye Feipeng was naturally one of them.

Actually, fighting was not his wish, but as the only person on the island who "Cultivated Three Techniques Simultaneously," Ye Feipeng absolutely would not allow himself to be weaker than others.

Unfortunately, his talent was not top-tier; at first, he could rely on the dual cultivation of his Physical Body and cultivation level to gain an advantage.

But as the others' Realm gradually improved, Ye Feipeng's performance in the battles against Tianyang was slowly being caught up to by others.

Just when he was getting a bit anxious, the Immortal Master arrived.

While rewarding and punishing clearly, he still gave Ye Feipeng special treatment.

After checking his cultivation progress and conducting a comprehensive examination of his body.

The Immortal Master felt that the "Sea Quelling Divine Sword" he was currently cultivating might not be very suitable.

So he dissolved his cultivation and bestowed upon him a new Cultivation Technique, the "Canghai Swimming Dragon Technique."
