The will of a thousand generations remains unchanged

Chapter 641: Thousand Lifetimes of Intent, Unchanging

From 'Refining' to 'Immortal', a difference of a single character meant an abyss-like divergence.

The path ahead in the Xuanhuang World had been cut off for countless years.

[Immortal] had become an out-of-reach goal, existing only in ancient texts for Cultivators to yearn for and daydream about.

However, Li Fan was now seeing a Cultivation Technique that might be related to 'True Immortal'!

'True Immortal Legacy?' Merely having a slight thought of it caused Li Fan's heart to surge.

That sense of exhilaration and agitation was something he had only experienced back when he saw Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi and finally confirmed the existence of Immortal Cultivators in the world.

'No wonder this Xuanhuang Mantra has always been ranked at the very front of all my Cultivation Techniques from start to finish. Even the Cloud Water Illusion Dream Art of the Dao Integration Realm passed down by Qin Tang cannot compare to it! So it was a true transmission from an Immortal!'

'The Immortal Path is not cut off, the Immortal Path is Never Ending!'

Li Fan's heart was inexplicably stirred, unable to calm down for a long time.

With his current state of mind and cultivation, it still took a full half-day for him to gradually calm down.

After carefully comprehending this so-called 'Profound Yellow Immortal Heart Mantra', he discovered that perhaps because it was still an incomplete version, compared to the previous Heart Refining Mantra, there was not much change.

Or perhaps, with Li Fan's current standard, it was still not enough to discover the difference between the two.

Li Fan carefully recalled the origin of the [Profound Yellow Immortal Heart Mantra].

The initial origin was the widely circulated and almost ubiquitous spell used to expel miasma from the body in the Xuanhuang World: the [Mystic Yellow Heart Cleansing Mantra].

Because apart from removing the Immortal-Mortal Miasma, the Heart Cleansing Mantra had no other help whatsoever for practitioners.

Therefore, there were rare Cultivators in the world who continued to persist in practicing it after guiding Qi into their bodies.

But back then, due to the limits of his own Aptitude, Li Fan had long been unable to expel the miasma from his body.

Therefore, while waiting for the Opportunity to enter the Net Body Spiritual Pool, he bitterly cultivated the Mystic Yellow Heart Cleansing Mantra day and night.

Furthermore, because he had the Huan Zhen panel, which could clearly insight into every slight change in himself, he firmly believed that the Mystic Yellow Heart Cleansing Mantra was indeed effective.

Thus he never gave up.

In the Net Body Spiritual Pool, during the extremely painful process of the Immortal-Mortal Miasma being forcibly expelled from his body, even when he almost lost consciousness and passed out, Li Fan's Dao-seeking heart never wavered for a single moment, remaining consistent throughout.

And the confidence bestowed upon him by [Huan Zhen] to constantly undergo Reincarnation and start over also allowed Li Fan to be free of worries and fears in his heart, unafraid of life and death.

Ultimately, when Li Fan successfully transformed from a Mortal into an Immortal Cultivator of the Qi Refinement Stage, the Mystic Yellow Heart Cleansing Mantra also transformed into the Profound Yellow Heart Refining Mantra.

On the cultivation path of a hundred lifetimes of Reincarnation, through continuous exploration and trying, Li Fan gradually found the true method of cultivating the Profound Yellow Heart Refining Mantra: counter-practicing the Dao Heart.

Like a giant millstone, it completely pulverized the obsession in his heart, turning it into nourishment to nurture his own Divine Soul.

Its miraculous degree was far from being comparable to the Cultivation Techniques currently circulating in the Myriad Immortals Alliance.

Originally, Li Fan thought that this was already the limit of the Xuanhuang Mantra.

Yet he did not expect that after coincidentally casting the [Chaos incantation] in this lifetime.

Facing the backlash of the 'Myriad Lifetimes Flitting Shadows' of the Chaos incantation, the Heart Refining Mantra operated on its own, finally stripping away its external disguise and revealing its true appearance.

'Profound Yellow Immortal Heart Mantra…' Li Fan continuously and mutteringly repeated this name in his heart.

Without a doubt, this was a Cultivation Technique powerful to an unimaginable degree.

The so-called 'Mortal dust and worldly affairs cause even Immortals and gods to fall.'

No matter how powerful a practitioner was, falling into the rolling Mortal World would inevitably cause damage to their Dao Heart.

Those Myriad Lifetimes Flitting Shadows were almost like experiencing thousands of lifetimes of Reincarnation in reality.

Countless images and emotions suddenly burst forth in his mind all at once.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Fan himself had already experienced a hundred lifetimes of Reincarnation, and his mental resilience was different from ordinary people.

He probably would have suffered a mental split on the spot and gone mad.

If not for the assistance of the Immortal Heart Mantra, no matter how extraordinary Li Fan's willpower was, wanting to walk out of the impact brought by the Myriad Lifetimes Flitting Shadows by himself…

He would probably have had to spend decades doing so.

But with the [Profound Yellow Immortal Heart Mantra], the result was completely different.

Almost in an instant, those sincere emotions and real memory images were all dissolved and absorbed.

'Experiencing tens of millions of lifetimes of Reincarnation in an instant, yet the Immortal Heart remains unchanged…'

'Is this the might of an Immortal?' Li Fan could not help but generate a feeling of yearning.

'With such an Immortal technique, I am afraid I can treat all kinds of illusions existing in this Xuanhuang World lightly.' A sharp glint instantly flashed through Li Fan's eyes.

He first thought of the scene when he was dragged into the Great Dao Sect by Senior Sister Zhao back then.

'Holding the [Profound Yellow Immortal Heart Mantra], I might just be able to maintain my original heart in that true illusion. With self-awareness and subjective initiative, I might be able to steal more secrets.'

'I can give it a try in the next lifetime.'

After daydreaming for a long time, Li Fan focused his gaze on the word 'Incomplete' following the Immortal Heart Mantra.

'Currently, this Immortal technique is still incomplete, and if I want to complete it, I must use the experiences and memories of thousands of lifetimes as raw materials. Originally, casting the Chaos incantation and utilizing the mental backlash it brought was the best method.'

'However…'

Li Fan slightly frowned.

He still had lingering fears regarding that massive Divine Thought that appeared later.

Intuition told him that the owner of this Divine Thought had probably already marked the [Chaos incantation]. If he cast it again, he was afraid he would be discovered by it instantly.

'The reason I was able to escape a calamity earlier might also be because [Chaos] has not been seen in the world for many years.'

'It can happen once, but not twice…'

'No matter.' Thinking of the strange treasure he carried with him, Li Fan smiled slightly.

'Even if there is only one catch-off-guard Opportunity per lifetime, to me, it is equivalent to being inexhaustible!'

'I am afraid that whether it was the one who deliberately hid the Profound Yellow Immortal Heart Mantra back then, or that massive Divine Thought that cared so much about [Chaos], neither would ever expect that there is an anomaly like me in the world!'

Reviewing past experiences, Li Fan was very clear on just how difficult a task it was to step-by-step change the Mystic Yellow Heart Cleansing Mantra back into the Profound Yellow Immortal Heart Mantra.

Coupled with powerful figures always eyeing him covetously and constantly monitoring him.

Even if a lucky person occasionally managed to reproduce it by chance, it would be impossible for them to always remain in the blind spots of the big figures' line of sight like Li Fan, going unnoticed.

'Amidst countless futures, as long as a sliver of vitality exists, I can find it. Turning the impossible into possible.'

Li Fan once again deeply perceived the terrifying aspect of [Huan Zhen].

At the same time, he felt fortunate in his heart.

If he did not have such a strange treasure, no matter how much of a Genius he was, he probably wouldn't be able to achieve transcendence from this Xuanhuang World.

With a sigh of emotion, Li Fan began searching the Tianxuan Mirror for bits and pieces of information regarding the Profound Yellow Heart Refining Mantra.

'Come to think of it. The Immortal-Mortal Miasma was formed by defying the principles of heaven and earth. How could a spell capable of expelling it possibly be simple?'

A trace of enlightenment flashed through Li Fan's heart.

With Li Fan's current authority Rank, it was enough for him to see much content that ordinary Cultivators could not look up.

However, regarding the origin of the Profound Yellow Heart Refining Mantra, there were all sorts of opinions without a definitive account.
