The new and old world are different
Shuo Feng's voice grew softer and softer.
Eventually, after it became barely audible, the fluttering crimson snow between heaven and earth also vanished along with it.
It was just like an illusion.
"Is it a pure coincidence, or is it seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster caused by his heaven-shaking Luck?"
"Or perhaps Scarlet Snow Immortal has always been watching over Shuo Feng, not allowing him to make any mistakes. Seeing that he was about to step into a dangerous place, she stepped forward to stop him?"
Li Fan remained silent and turned to look at the location of Han Yi's stone statue.
After pondering for a moment, he landed on the ground. Circulating the [Mandate of Heaven Domain], he walked toward it step by step.
His pace was extremely slow because Li Fan was carefully comprehending the surrounding Luck-absorbing power.
Since he was currently infinitely close to the state of a [Luckless Person], he was exceptionally sensitive to changes in his own Luck.
When he walked forward for about ninety-some steps, Li Fan suddenly noticed a trace of a flaw appear in the [Mandate of Heaven Domain].
Like a water cup poked with a hole, the Luck that was already tantamount to nothing drained away crazily in an instant. After the very last shred was completely squeezed dry, in Li Fan's vision, thick black Qi began to hover above his head.
He only felt his heart suddenly thump with fright, as if a great disaster was about to befall him in the next moment.
Li Fan hurriedly retreated backwards while retrieving the Luck previously stored in the Xuan Birds Feather.
Even though his movements were already very fast, the changes brought by Luck were also immediate. During the process of retreating, Li Fan actually stumbled and almost fell to the ground. He was a dignified Nascent Soul Cultivator, and even the top-tier kind who formed his Nascent Soul with the Five Elements Grotto-Heaven.
To actually fall while walking?
Yet this anti-common-sense matter happened just like that.
Not daring to hesitate, Li Fan firmly remembered that recent feeling in his heart while speeding up the replenishment of his drained Luck.
After he stabilized his figure again and withdrew to a safe area, Li Fan discovered that nearly half of the Luck stored in the Xuan Birds Feather had been consumed before the black bad Luck above his head was offset again.
"To consume so much Luck while still being so far away from the stone statue, this Luck-absorbing stone statue is truly a bit terrifying. I'm afraid that even someone of Shuo Feng's boundless good fortune wouldn't be able to resist and would be sucked completely dry. No wonder Shuo Feng was taken away by his mother."
"It is something human manpower cannot contend against, unless…"
"World Luck."
Li Fan's heart stirred, instantly recalling the world where Xiao Hei perished.
The heavenly fortune of that alien beast Small World had obviously been refined and fused by Xiao Hei. But not long ago, Xiao Hei perished for an unknown reason, and the heavenly fortune also shattered and scattered everywhere.
With Han Yi's shallow cultivation back then, he was already able to absorb and master stray heavenly fortune.
Then Li Fan, who possessed the Xuan Birds Feather, would surely find it even more handy when absorbing the world's heavenly fortune.
"Besides, a drop of Xu Ke's essence blood seems to be buried there as well. It seems I am bound to make a trip there."
"In that Small World, there seem to be quite a few beast species with formidable strength hidden. In the past, if I only had Nascent Soul strength and was all alone, I would still have some misgivings. But now…"
A sharp glint flashed through Li Fan's eyes.
He temporarily left this Luck-absorbing Domain, returned to Longevity Valley, and summoned Liu San.
Just as he was about to speak and have him lead some Medicine King Sect Disciples to enter the alien beast Small World to sweep and clear out threats first,
Li Fan suddenly sensed a trace of impropriety and stopped talking.
"What is the Young Lord worried about?"
Looking at Li Fan, Liu San felt somewhat strange.
Li Fan pondered slightly for a moment, tracing back the past recorded images of the hua dao stone, and only then did he suddenly realize.
It turned out that he had once again unconsciously forgotten about the calamity that befell the Congyun Sea.
"I wonder what the Congyun Sea looks like in this lifetime nowadays? A void abyss, or withered mountain ranges?"
"If that place has already turned into a void, does the entrance to the Small World still exist or not…"
Thoughts spun rapidly in his mind, and Li Fan's face revealed a heavy expression.
"This time when I went out, I discovered a matter of great terror."
Immediately, Li Fan told Liu San about how the Congyun Sea had been destroyed and was gradually forgotten by the world.
"Congyun Sea?" Liu San's expression was somewhat blank at first, but then he finally remembered it, and his face revealed a look of shock.
"Fortunately, because we were moving to live in Longevity Valley, by a fluke, we avoided this calamity," Li Fan said with some emotion.
However, Liu San placed his focus on the fact that he had actually forgotten about the matter.
"Making the world forget without them even noticing, is this the power of the New Law Longevity?" Liu San, whose impression of experts in the Longevity Realm still lingered in primeval times, was deeply shocked at this moment.
You must know that as one of the Medicine King Sect's strongest Dao Integration experts, he had crossed paths with the Celestial Venerables of Longevity from the Ten Immortal Sects back then.
He had boasted that even if he wasn't their match, he could at least put up a bit of resistance.
Never had he expected…
In a split second, the pride in Liu San's heart shattered layer by layer. The more he thought about it, the more terrified he felt, and beads of cold sweat actually broke out on his forehead.
Li Fan also noticed Liu San's abnormality and immediately spoke out to comfort him: "Old Liu need not take it to heart. The heavens and earth have changed from ancient times to the present. Although they share the same name as the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, modern Longevity and ancient Longevity are obviously no longer existences of the same level."
Even though he had immense faith in Li Fan, it took Liu San a good while to recover.
After a long silence, he first let out a long sigh, and then said to Li Fan: "Only today do I know the might of New Law Longevity; previously, I was merely sitting in a well and viewing the sky."
"The gap between the New and Old Laws is actually so vast…"
"Young Lord, I wish to switch to the New Law." Liu San said solemnly to Li Fan.
Li Fan was not surprised at all by Liu San's decision. He nodded and agreed: "I support you! It is also a fortunate event for our Medicine King Sect that you, Old Liu, can regain your competitive spirit. Perhaps you can achieve sudden enlightenment and attain the Dao of Longevity. By then, with the protection of the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, our Medicine King Sect will be able to openly reappear in the world."
"However…"
Li Fan changed the subject: "Nowadays, incompatible cultivation methods cannot be practiced together. If you, Old Liu, want to advance further and defy the principles of heaven and earth, you will inevitably have to re-cultivate another Dao Integration Cultivation Technique."
"Firstly, Cultivation Techniques are not easily acquired nowadays, and Dao Integration Cultivation Techniques even more so. Secondly, the Longevity Pill still requires you, Old Liu, to preside over its refinement…"
Liu San instantly understood the meaning in Li Fan's words, and his original grand ambitions dimmed once again in an instant.
The gap between ideals and reality forced Liu San to make a choice.
But Liu San, who was utterly loyal to the Medicine King Sect, made his choice after hesitating for just a moment.
"I understand, Young Lord. Let us still prioritize the revitalization of the Medicine King Sect first," he said somewhat desolately.
Only then did Li Fan smile slightly: "Old Liu, you have misunderstood my meaning. I absolutely support you in switching your Cultivation Technique. Moreover, the enhancement of your cultivation and the rise of the Medicine King Sect do not conflict with each other."
"It just requires a little time to prepare."
There is still another chapter, waiting for Ao to return after sleeping.
