The heart of the immortal is refined a hundred times

Chapter 640: Immortal Heart Refined a Hundred Times

That was a wild operating speed Li Fan had never experienced since he began cultivating the Profound Yellow Heart Refining Mantra.

As if some special switch had been triggered, the efficiency of the Profound Yellow Heart Refining Mantra’s operation increased by more than a thousandfold compared to before.

If Li Fan’s previous self-attempts were like a slow millstone pulled by a donkey, then now, the Profound Yellow Heart Refining Mantra was like a roaring, thundering giant machine, absorbing all the countless real and illusory experiences that had suddenly appeared in Li Fan’s mind.

Setting things right and restoring order!

It was like a basin of ice water poured over his head, thoroughly cooling down the intense heat.

Li Fan gradually recovered from his trance and confusion.

“This…”

“?”

Instantly, Li Fan understood what had just happened to him, and his heart was filled with shock.

He hadn't expected the backlash from the complete “Chaos” incantation to be so terrifying.

Once formed, it was several times more powerful than his previous “practice” which had been just a step short of completion.

With the “Chaos” incantation formed, it seemed to have undergone a qualitative change; its power was incomparable to its fragmented state.

“Even the backlash is so terrifying, so its actual effect…”

Li Fan endured the turmoil in his body and mind and looked up at the sky.

He saw that where rain and corpses had originally fallen, the scene seemed to show a slight distortion.

It was as if an invisible void existed; the moment rain and bodies approached, they all vanished into thin air.

However, after devouring the strange rain, the scope of that distorted void also seemed to be slowly decreasing.

In this way, the two seemed to be in a state of mutual balance and constant cancellation.

Finally, when no more raindrops fell from the sky, the effect brought by the “Chaos” incantation also disappeared.

A disheveled figure fell from the sky. It was Superior Man Yin.

At this moment, his body was semi-transparent, and he stared blankly at Li Fan, his face filled with disbelief.

He tried to say something, opening his mouth, but no sound came out.

Superior Man Yin looked down at himself, as if understanding something, and stopped his futile attempts.

His body became increasingly faint, but there was no fear of impending demise on his face.

Instead, there was relief and liberation.

A moment later, Superior Man Yin completely vanished from this world.

Li Fan didn't have time to celebrate his escape from danger.

Driven by an increasingly strong sense of crisis in his heart, he endured his injuries, activated the Only Hand Covers the Sky secret art, pushed his escape technique to its limit, and quickly left the area.

Not long after Li Fan left, a vast Divine Thought seemed to descend.

The scene on the nearby seabed was like time flowing backward, tracing and replaying the past.

But just as Li Fan’s figure was about to appear, a crack appeared out of thin air.

Then two, three, and countless cracks appeared one after another.

The scene was immediately disrupted.

The replaying scene shattered like a mirror and returned to normal.

The Divine Thought lingered for a long time, as if pondering something.

Then it quietly swept across the entire Congyun Sea, but ultimately failed to find any anomalies.

After that, it completely fell silent.

At this time, Li Fan, who had not yet returned to Cong Yun City, dug out an Ore from the seabed below him. He pretended to be overjoyed and put it into his storage ring.

He then continued to pretend to mine here for a long time, until the sense of crisis in his heart completely subsided, only then did he stop his disguise.

Just now, the moment he was rapidly returning to Cong Yun City, an unprecedented sense of crisis suddenly struck him, his heart beating violently, as if he would die in the next second.

He didn't have time to think much; first, he withdrew the disguise of Only Hand Covers the Sky, then activated the Qi Xuan True Spirit Transformation, instantly transforming into the appearance of another Cultivator.

He pretended to mine Ore on the seabed.

Indeed, his premonition was accurate. A moment later, he felt a sensation of being spied upon.

He forced himself to suppress the tremor in his heart, acting as if he had noticed nothing.

Although it was incredibly perilous, he still managed to evade the other party’s detection.

“The ‘Chaos’ incantation, the Profound Yellow Heart Refining Mantra, the strange ‘Rain of Revival,’ and this immensely powerful Divine Thought…”

On his way back to Cong Yun City, Li Fan kept pondering the connections between these elements.

“If I hadn't inadvertently used the ‘Chaos’ incantation, I almost certainly wouldn’t have been able to escape the strange rain. There would have only been the path of Huan Zhen.”

“But I didn’t expect that the ‘Chaos’ incantation could actually eliminate the strange rain.”

In Li Fan’s view, Superior Man Yin and the rain that brought countless identical corpses were extremely similar to the strangeness of the Xuanhuang World.

Both were illogical, rules outside of rules.

But this kind of strangeness, which was said to be unchangeable and never disappearing, was actually resolved by the “Chaos” incantation.

What did this mean?

Li Fan kept recalling the process of the [Rain of Revival] disappearing.

“Chaos, chaos…”

“Rather than being resolved, it’s more like…”

“Adding chaos to chaos, mutually canceling each other out?”

Li Fan’s heart stirred, and a bold conjecture instantly emerged.

“Could it be that the root of all strangeness in the world comes from this word ‘Chaos’?”

Once this thought appeared, it could no longer be suppressed. At the same time, his heart was filled with inexplicable fear.

“The ‘Chaos’ character I saw on the stone in the mist back then, its power seemed to have completely vanished with the passage of time.”

“But there’s no doubt that it was the culprit that destroyed that misty world.”

“If it were the original ‘Chaos’ incantation with its complete power…”

Li Fan narrowed his eyes.

“Moreover, it seems there are powerful individuals in the Xuanhuang World who are extremely concerned about this ‘Chaos’ incantation. Upon sensing its aura, they will descend to investigate.”

“It seems that unless absolutely necessary, in times of life-or-death crisis, it’s best to use it as little as possible.”

Li Fan mused to himself.

After all, having formed a Nascent Soul in the Five Elements Cave Heaven, the Five Elements power was endless, and his recovery ability was terrifyingly strong.

By the time Li Fan returned to Cong Yun City, his injuries had fully recovered, and he showed no signs of abnormality.

And those “Myriad World Lueying” that had appeared in his mind were all absorbed and resolved, thanks to the fully activated Profound Yellow Heart Refining Mantra.

What puzzled Li Fan was that, logically speaking, having absorbed so many distracting thoughts, according to previous experience, it should have nourished and strengthened his Divine Soul.

But from then until now, Li Fan had not felt any increase in his Divine Soul power.

“Could it have been used to repair invisible hidden injuries in the Divine Soul?”

Li Fan was somewhat puzzled and began to examine it carefully.

The operating speed of the Profound Yellow Heart Refining Mantra had now gradually returned to normal, but Li Fan keenly noticed that this Heart Refining Mantra seemed to be subtly different.

This feeling was like it had completed some kind of sublimation, but it hadn't fully manifested yet.

Li Fan’s heart stirred, and driven by intuition, he opened the Huan Zhen panel and stared intently at the Cultivation Technique description item within it.

The Profound Yellow Heart Refining Mantra, originally ranked first, had silently changed its name.

Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra (Incomplete).

Li Fan’s pupils suddenly contracted, his heart immensely shaken.
