The catastrophe of the Beast Taming Sect
Driven by the habitual strength of his possessed Physical Body, Li Fan gave Xu Ke a claw swipe.
Following that, numerous memories naturally surged into his mind.
Ever since he and Xu Ke returned to the Beast Taming Sect from the Southern Underworld Sacred Beast Mountain last time, they learned that Emperor Sanmo and Senior Brother Lu Ya had both gone out on matters and were nowhere to be found.
The promised reward for the task naturally could not be fulfilled, so Xu Ke kept muttering about this matter.
Of course, from Li Fan's perspective, this was more of Xu Ke's simple longing for Senior Brother Lu Ya.
After all, being fellow orphans from the Xuantian Temple in Ningyuan City and coming to this Beast Taming Sect together, it was no exaggeration to say that Xu Ke and Lu Ya were family members who depended on each other for survival.
Ignoring Xu Ke's nagging, Li Fan closed his eyes and concentrated, circulating the Creation Furnace Art.
As expected of a flawless Cultivation Technique modified by Mr. Bai.
Ever since he began to Cultivate it, not only had his Physical Body become much more formidable, but his essence, Qi, and spirit also surged daily; even without sleep day or night, he would not feel fatigued.
More importantly, his own Heavenly Fate Blackbird Bloodline also seemed to become increasingly pure.
Li Fan's originally pitch-black and glossy feathers occasionally displayed a seven-colored dim light under the sunlight, making him look exceptionally divine and striking.
Xu Ke could not help but reach out to stroke them from time to time, though he was, of course, mercilessly swatted away by Li Fan.
The enhancement of abilities brought by the strengthening of the Bloodline was comprehensive.
The Divine Ability of "Heavenly Mandate is Mine" was executed with increasing ease; while helping Xu Ke nourish his Luck, it also fed back into himself.
Now, Li Fan had reached the first critical Realm in the Legacy memories, able to form a certain range of the "Heavenly Mandate Domain" around himself to court good fortune and avoid disaster while also defending against enemies with the Heavenly Mandate.
You must know that among the Heavenly Fate Blackbird population, this was often something only adult Blackbirds over a hundred years old could achieve.
Yet now, from breaking out of its shell to the present, Li Fan was not even five years old—a pure juvenile body.
Being able to break the growth laws of Yao Beasts was enough to show the extraordinary nature of Mr. Bai's Creation Furnace Art.
"After returning from the Realm of Fallen Immortals, apart from the rewards obtained from completing obsessions, all other Cultivation Techniques and the like will be forgotten."
"I just wonder if this will change under the blessing of the Profound Yellow Immortal Heart Mantra."
Li Fan pondered to himself, comprehending the profound mysteries of the Furnace Art.
Even if he could not bring it back to reality, the various insights generated within himself during the process of cultivating the Creation Profound Art were also immensely beneficial to Li Fan.
Therefore, even though the plot of the Realm of Fallen Immortals was temporarily not advancing, he was not in a hurry at all, immersing himself in cultivation every day.
Time passed, and on this day, Li Fan, who was absorbed in cultivation, suddenly snapped awake.
A palpitation suddenly surged in his heart, and he raised his head to look at the firmament.
Although it was still a clear sky with ten thousand miles of cloudlessness, Li Fan saw an overwhelming aura of sternness and killing intent that had almost condensed into substance, rolling like dark clouds and covering the entire sky.
Causing one's heart to feel suffocated and terrified.
"This is…"
"incompatible cultivation methods."
Li Fan felt a sudden realization in his heart.
Soon, one exclamation after another came from the Beast Taming Sect.
"What is going on?!"
"The Beast Taming Incantation has thirty-six thousand four hundred and eighty-two people practicing it?"
"No matter how the Cultivation Technique is circulated, it is actually impossible to gain cultivation?"
"This is too absurd!"
…
The calamity of incompatible cultivation methods was practically devastating for the Beast Taming Sect, which basically only practiced a single Cultivation Technique, the "Beast Taming Incantation".
Almost everyone could foresee what extreme methods would be adopted to fight for a sliver of vitality when so many Cultivators were all trapped in their current Realm and their Lifespan was about to exhaust.
Consequently, the members of the Beast Taming Sect fell into extreme panic.
Instantly distancing themselves from one another, their eyes were filled with suspicion as they looked at the Senior Brothers and junior fellow apprentices who had loved and cared for each other not long ago.
Out of the reason and conscience that still remained, no Cultivator had chosen to make a move yet.
Even though the Beast Taming Sect Leader and various Elders stepped forward to pacify the crowd, they still could not stop the terrifying atmosphere from continuously brewing within the Sect.
Slowly, some people began to be unable to bear this immense pressure and started escaping stealthily.
Moreover, constantly under massive mental pressure, some Disciples had already turned their eyes red and become somewhat hysterical.
It was like a powder keg, ready to be detonated at any moment by a spark flying from unknown quarters.
At this critical moment, Emperor Sanmo and Lu Ya returned.
"Did you bring back the item?"
After seeing Xu Ke, Lu Ya first asked this.
His expression was calm and steady, without the slightest bit of panic.
Xu Ke nodded and took out a tiny, still-sleeping flesh ball from the beast pouch in his bosom.
It was precisely the peculiar rare beast bestowed by Emperor Yi, capable of splitting by itself and giving birth to offspring.
Seeing this, Lu Ya actually revealed a trace of joy.
He cautiously took the flesh ball, observed it carefully for a moment, and only then let out a sigh of relief.
"Senior Brother Lu, what on earth is the use of this little fellow that makes you so nervous?"
Xu Ke knew that Lu Ya's emotions never showed on his face, yet this time he acted completely out of character, so he asked with some curiosity.
"Heh, it is the hope for us to survive the calamity."
A look of inscrutable emotion flashed across Lu Ya's eyes as he slowly spoke.
"Just it?"
Xu Ke widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
"You will know in the future."
Lu Ya did not explain and hurried away.
Leaving behind a confused Xu Ke and a thoughtful Li Fan.
Three days later, the Beast Taming Sect Leader held a Sect assembly and announced a series of plans targeting the calamity that had descended upon heaven and earth.
First, to prevent the mutual slaughter brought by incompatible cultivation methods, led by the Sect Leader, all Sect members must temporarily disband the Cultivation Technique of the "Beast Taming Incantation", retaining only their own cultivation.
Second, the entire Beast Taming Sect would begin to evacuate the Profound Yellow Main World in batches, heading to designated blessed Small Worlds to take refuge.
Because the vast majority of a Beast Taming Sect Cultivator's strength lay in the Yao Beasts they manipulated, even if they disbanded their cultivation, their actual combat power would not be greatly discounted, only slightly affected.
The Yao Beasts of all the Disciples had almost been carefully nurtured from the moment of their birth, and the bond had already been formed.
Even without the Beast Taming Incantation, it would not hinder the Disciples from manipulating their beasts.
This plan could prevent everyone from falling into a situation of mutual bloodshed, so not many people opposed it.
Occasionally, there were those who were unwilling, but after the Sect Leader set a personal example, they had no choice but to agree.
As for how to disband cultivation without affecting cultivation…
Li Fan watched as Xu Ke chanted words under his breath, instantly dispersing his entire body's Cultivation Technique and transforming it into pure cultivation stored within his Dantian.
"Supreme Primordial True Scripture"?
Li Fan, who was extremely familiar with this scene, naturally recognized the technique being used by the Beast Taming Sect at this moment in an instant.
"It only taught the method of circulation, but did not explain its origin."
"What is going on? I remember that at this time, the incident where the Dharma-Transmitting Heavenly Venerable forcibly seized the 'Supreme Primordial True Scripture' should not have happened yet."
"Where did the Beast Taming Sect's technique come from, then?"
In a split second, a figure in white clothes surfaced in Li Fan's mind.
"It is him?"
I've hit a writer's block, hit a writer's block, let me think carefully about the subsequent plot.
Will make up for it tomorrow during the day.
