The fear of passing on the Dharma

Li Fan naturally would not worry that the Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission, who had not appeared in the world for many years, would suddenly manifest just because of that glance he cast towards the sky.

Then ask him, "Little friend, what are you looking at?"

In fact, what Li Fan cared about was something else.

It is said that the more one tries to cover up, the more it shows.

Only when one cares about something will one go to great lengths to cover it up.

If one truly did not care, why resort to such methods to deceive others?

In the thousands of years of history of the Xuanhuang World, there had been countless Geniuses and outstanding figures.

There must have been many Cultivators who, like Li Fan just now, were on the verge of realizing something by sheer Opportunity.

But they were all forcibly suppressed by inexplicable means.

This precisely proved that the Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission of the past actually harbored a sliver of apprehension towards Cultivators of the Xuanhuang World uncovering this matter…

The Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission, with the might of one person, changed the heavens and the earth, reversing the situation of the new and old Cultivation Techniques.

He suppressed the world for thousands of years, reducing all Cultivators to nothing more than beasts of burden.

Could such a figure actually have things that he was apprehensive about?

"Although it certainly hasn't reached the point of fear, his inner concerns must be inevitable."

"Interesting…"

In an instant, having figured this out, Li Fan became truly interested in the secret hidden behind this.

"Perhaps the method to oppose the Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission lies within it."

"A secret might be able to hide from some people forever, or it might be able to hide from everyone temporarily."

"But it is absolutely impossible to hide from everyone forever."

"In this Xuanhuang World, I have enough time to find and unearth it."

"Besides, I might not necessarily be alone."

Li Fan gazed at the firmament, remaining silent.

It is said that those who do not plan for all eternity are not capable of planning for the moment. As the most powerful stumbling block on his path to immortality, the Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission was an existence that Li Fan would sooner or later have to face.

Now, being able to discover what might be a sliver of a flaw in Him by sheer Opportunity was also Li Fan's good fortune.

"The world is always full of various coincidences. Just like how I was suddenly snatched away by the decaying wood, and then inexplicably released by it."

"Just like my sudden Epiphany just now…"

"It is unavoidable."

"But my [Huan Zhen] can minimize the negative impacts brought by coincidences as much as possible, while infinitely amplifying their positive effects."

With various thoughts surging, it was a long time before Li Fan focused his mind and calmed down.

He focused his attention back on the sixteen Golden Cores in his hand.

After pondering for a long time, Li Fan thought about it and decided to return to the Congyun Sea via the teleportation array.

Repeating his old trick, he dug a secret chamber deep under the sea abyss and hid inside.

To guard against any possible prying by Ruo Wood.

He did not know if it was Li Fan's illusion, or purely his own psychological effect.

Upon returning to the Congyun Sea, his heart suddenly became much calmer.

He held his breath and focused his attention.

Li Fan took out all the remaining sixteen Golden Cores and laid them out in a row.

Selecting one of slightly inferior quality from among them, Li Fan once again fed it to Huan Zhen.

Just as he had expected, after Huan Zhen absorbed it, the charging progress of the sixth anchoring showed not a sliver of change.

"Huan Zhen's appetite is getting bigger and bigger."

"From Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects, to Golden Cores."

"Could it be that next it will want to devour Cave Heavens and marrow of heaven?"

Thinking of this, Li Fan's expression could not help but change slightly.

Golden Cores were easy enough to talk about; he could obtain some through various means.

As for Cave Heavens, once his strength advanced further, it should not be difficult to gather some.

Only the marrow of heaven, as well as the heaven and earth spirit…

They were all inherent objects of the Xuanhuang World, with a limited total quantity.

Countless Cultivators were waiting eagerly, and once they appeared, they would be snatched up frantically.

Where could he possibly get extra ones for Huan Zhen to devour?

"The number of anchorings left is not much, which is a troublesome matter."

"I originally thought that after this life ended, I would use one. Then, starting from the Nascent Soul Realm, I would continuously repeat Reincarnation and accumulate strength…"

"Now it seems it is better to be a bit more cautious. Anyway, now that I already understand the location of the [root of heaven and earth], even if I start over, it will be familiar territory."

While thinking, Li Fan stopped feeding Huan Zhen.

Instead, he held one of the remaining Golden Cores in his hand and slowly absorbed it.

Although this was a single-technique Golden Core, it contained a very rare Gu-bewitching technique.

It was related to spiritual power, which was exactly what Li Fan urgently needed to supplement.

Stones from other hills can be used to polish jade.

Although it was not a defensive technique, all paths lead to the same destination. If he had a deep understanding of spiritual attack techniques, he should be better prepared to deal with them next time.

For better comprehension, Li Fan also invoked the power of the Cave Heaven Domain to manifest the characteristics of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects [Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart] once again.

In an instant, many insights surged into his heart.

Li Fan immersed himself in it, overjoyed.

Just when Li Fan was in seclusion for comprehension, the Congyun Sea at this moment was a bit unsettled.

Although the battle of Tianling State had ended and the Cultivators were all recuperating.

But not long ago, an edict from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance stirred up a thousand waves with a single stone, causing the entire Congyun Sea to explode in an uproar.

The losses in this battle were heavy. In order to better and faster restore their vital strength, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance decided that starting from today, all taught Cultivation Techniques would be sold at a 50% discount.

For a period of one year.

And some advanced Cultivation Techniques that previously required merit Rank to purchase were all unlocked.

There were no longer any permission restrictions; as long as one had contribution points, one could purchase them directly.

Of course, necessary restrictions still existed.

Each person was limited to purchasing one, which could only be Cultivated by oneself and could not be gifted or sold in any way.

Once discovered, not only would the right to Cultivate the technique be revoked, but the person who violated the rules would also be severely punished.

For the vast majority of Cultivators who could not even afford a single Cultivation Technique even if they bankrupted themselves, this restriction could be said to be better than nothing.

Their attention at this moment had been completely drawn by the dazzling list of Cultivation Techniques in the tianxuan mirror.

One must know that Cultivation Techniques are the foundation of immortal cultivation.

The quality of the Cultivation Technique one practices directly determines one's future prospects.

There is no harm without comparison.

And when these restricted Cultivation Techniques, which were usually unseen, appeared in the public eye, the Cultivators finally realized how unbearable the common Cultivation Techniques they had practiced before were in comparison!

The Opportunity is rare, and once missed, it will not return!

Thus, the Cultivators all became envious.

Scraping together every last penny, they calculated the contribution points they could take out to select and purchase their desired Cultivation Techniques.

At this moment, Congyun City was gathered with a large number of Cultivators.

They angrily surrounded the Bu Zheng Hall, demanding He Zhenghao to come out and give an explanation.

The reason was none other than that in Li Fan's previous fundraising plan, they had invested almost all their belongings.

They only kept a small amount in reserve, so how could they go and scramble to buy Cultivation Techniques now?

With rare Cultivation Techniques in front of them, Cultivators would not be polite to each other.

Watching one Cultivation Technique after another being selected away in an instant, these Cultivators' mentalities somewhat collapsed.
