Thousands of years of changes

“They can easily get their hands on the entrance exam questions, and even more confidential information…”

The Five Old Men Association Cultivator’s voice gradually lowered, clearly lost in thought and speculation.

After a while, he came back to his senses and looked at “Zhou Qingang.”

“Although there were some minor flaws, overall, you performed a great service by connecting with the organization behind He Zhenghao this time.”

He threw over a storage ring.

“Inside is the Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth Great Art you wanted, and some enlightenment pills.”

“In addition to that, there are also Spirit Stones worth fifty thousand contribution points. Consider it your reward for your meritorious service this time.”

Li Fan heard this, took the storage ring to examine it, and his face lit up with joy.

“Fifty thousand contribution points? How did the boss become so generous!”

The Five Old Men Association Cultivator snorted: “If there is merit, there will certainly be a reward. Next, while you continue to lie low, you must maintain a good relationship with He Zhenghao.”

“If possible, it would be best if you could extract some information about the mysterious organization behind him from his mouth.”

“Of course, if it’s really not possible, there’s no need to force it. Being able to connect with them and exchange Spirit Stones for confidential information is enough.”

Li Fan nodded repeatedly.

“Alright, you can go back.”

“You’ve been in contact quite frequently recently, so for a while, you should temporarily avoid meeting with the boss to avoid exposing any flaws.”

“If there are special circumstances, we will contact you again.”

After the other party meticulously explained everything, he left Youlan Island first.

Li Fan’s Clone then unhurriedly, slowly returned.

On Taian Island, Li Fan’s main body had been waiting for a long time.

“Five million five thousand contribution points, three bottles of enlightenment pills, Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth Great Art…”

“The harvest this time is not bad.”

After combining the items in the main body and Clone’s storage rings, Li Fan nodded slightly.

“With such a huge amount of contribution points, whatever I plan next will be much easier.”

With just a glance, Li Fan no longer paid attention to the pile of Spirit Stones.

Once it reaches a certain quantity, any more is just a string of numbers.

Furthermore, for an anomaly like Li Fan, who can constantly Reincarnate and start over, the more times he Reincarnates, the more information he masters, and the easier it becomes to acquire contribution points.

Li Fan first began to read the Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth Great Art.

To be safe, it was the Clone Zhou Qingang who examined the Jade Slip.

The linguistic style was distinctly different from the Cultivation Techniques that could be exchanged in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s tianxuan mirror.

It wasn’t as concise and direct to the Cultivation essentials.

Instead, it forcefully added many abstruse and profound sentences, making it somewhat obscure and difficult to understand.

“A distinct ancient style…”

Fortunately, Li Fan had already Cultivated several Cultivation Techniques passed down from ancient times, and he spent most of a day reading through it completely.

The Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth Great Art is not a primary Cultivation Technique that can improve one’s Cultivation Realm.

Nor is it merely a secret method that simply changes the way a Cultivator absorbs Spiritual Qi.

It is more like a Divine Ability.

While it can roughly absorb Earth Veins and Spiritual Veins, transforming them into one’s own Spiritual Qi for Cultivation.

It also has an accelerating and promoting effect on the Cultivation of the primary Cultivation Technique.

Normally, there is a certain upper limit to the Spiritual Qi a Cultivator can absorb.

Once the maximum capacity is reached, forcibly absorbing more can even risk exploding and dying.

However, after Cultivating the Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth Great Art, there is no such concern.

The excess power absorbed will act as an accelerator to push the Cultivation Technique’s Cultivation.

The more it absorbs, the faster the Cultivation Technique will operate on its own.

Until a Breakthrough in Realm, it can then devour even more.

This cycle repeats continuously, until it Swallows Heaven and Devours Earth.

Of course, the prerequisite is not to be discovered and then beaten until your Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

Undoubtedly, this parasitic Cultivation method is an even worse existence than the Celestial Venerable New Law.

It will cause almost irreversible damage to the world in a short period, and it’s not wrong to say it’s the public enemy of all other Cultivators.

However, as long as it can improve his Cultivation, Li Fan doesn’t care about being a public enemy of the world.

After careful comprehension, the Zhou Qingang Clone tried to operate the Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth Great Art.

In an instant, his eyes turned blood red.

The entire world in his vision became different.

There was no distinction between people, scenery, or objects.

Only the difference between delicious and not delicious remained.

The Clone stared at the main body for a while, then looked down at Taian Island.

The earthy yellow Earth Vein extended from beneath the island all the way to the seabed.

It was connected to all directions of the earth.

It looked very delicious and appetizing.

The Clone gently placed his hands on the ground, and a suction force burst from his palms.

“Hmm?”

To Li Fan’s surprise, according to the Cultivation Technique’s description, the power of the Earth Vein should have been absorbed into the body without any resistance at this point.

But it remained perfectly still.

“What’s going on?”

Li Fan checked again carefully, confirmed that he hadn’t Cultivated incorrectly, and tried again.

This time, he released the restrictions and increased the suction.

The power of the Earth Vein trembled slightly, but it was like a connected whole, unable to be shaken.

Delicious food was right in front of him, but he couldn’t enjoy it.

The Clone’s eyes grew even redder.

He became a bit agitated, relentlessly increasing the suction power of the Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth Great Art.

The Earth Vein kept resisting.

Under the clash of the two forces, the entire Taian Island was shaking slightly.

If this continued, such an anomaly would certainly arouse others’ suspicion.

But the Clone ignored it completely, showing no intention of stopping.

It wasn’t until the main body, who had been observing from the side, took action and slapped “Zhou Qingang” unconscious.

Only then did the shaking of Taian Island stop.

“This Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth Great Art is a bit sinister…”

Li Fan frowned slightly.

The consciousness of the main body and the Clone are one, so this situation where the Clone loses control shouldn’t occur.

But just now, influenced by the desire to “eat.”

Li Fan’s consciousness seemed to split into two halves.

When the Clone saw the main body, he even had a fleeting thought of devouring him.

But at that time, he could still control himself.

Once the feeding was obstructed and the desire wasn’t satisfied.

The Clone was completely seduced.

He clearly knew the consequences of forcibly absorbing Taian Island’s Earth Vein, yet he simply couldn’t stop his actions.

“No wonder its creator didn’t know how to restrain himself back then; it wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but that he simply couldn’t.”

Li Fan couldn’t help but feel a little regret.

He wasn’t regretting the other party’s fate, but regretting that this secret art couldn’t be used by him.

“There’s no need to dwell on it too much. I have the Sitting Mountain Skill, so Swallowing Heaven and Devouring Earth would only be icing on the cake.”

“Besides, I can actually let others Cultivate this method, and then I can reap the benefits.”

…

After pondering for a moment, Li Fan temporarily set it aside.

His gaze passed through layers of obstruction and looked down at the Taian Island Earth Vein.

“The Mountain and River Array back then had already connected all the Earth Veins under heaven. Although the Array has now been replaced by the Heavenly Yuan Creation Formation, its effect still remains.”

“Even if one wants to Swallow Heaven and Devour Earth, it won’t be as easy as in ancient times.”

“A peerless fierce method from thousands of years ago, with the passage of time, has now become so useless.”

“No wonder the Five Old Men Association so easily gave it to a Foundation Establishment spy.”

Li Fan shook his head and sighed.
