Who Cuts the Way to Immortality

Midnight, Ye Manor.

The little fatty, Ye Feipeng, was fast asleep, seemingly dreaming of something particularly joyous, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

He was completely unaware of a black shadow suddenly appearing beside him.

The shadow waved a hand gently, and Ye Feipeng's head lolled to the side as he fell into a deep, unconscious state.

The shadow's right hand formed a claw and covered the boy's head.

A moment later, the hand slowly retracted.

A drop of blood, red to the point of black, appeared in the palm.

Ye Feipeng, who had been ruddy-faced, instantly became listless, as if he had fallen into a serious illness.

The mass of blood, as if it were a living creature with its own consciousness, squirmed incessantly in the palm, attempting to escape the shadow's grasp.

As the shadow's fingers tightened, the space for the blood to struggle grew smaller and smaller, until it was finally completely absorbed into the shadow's body.

The figure stood still in the dark night for a long time.

"Puff!"

Two hideous bone wings suddenly tore through his back and extended out from behind him.

Wisps of flesh and blood coiled around the bone wings, emitting a faint sizzling sound, growing outwards along the bone spurs, and in the blink of an eye, they covered the stark white bones.

The bone wings became plump.

Yet, under the moonlight, one could still clearly see the flesh and blood on the edges of the bone wings wriggling, looking extremely eerie.

"Kunpeng Bloodline…"

A low voice issued from the shadow's mouth, and a moment later, he tore the wings behind him off with raw force.

There was no scene of blood spraying out; after struggling for a moment, the wriggling flesh at the wound was expelled from the body by a pure and vast vitality.

In an instant, the shadow had returned to normal.

"Ancient Yao Beast, it truly has some tricks." He looked at the wings, which were still twitching even after being torn off, and sighed softly.

This shadow was naturally Li Fan.

After arriving at the Da Li capital, the first thing he did was extract a small amount of Kunpeng Bloodline from Ye Feipeng's body.

While saving most of the blood in his Storage Ring, he used his own Physical Body to absorb a small portion.

It was more overbearing than the power of the strange beasts Li Fan had sensed previously in the Beast Soul Pearl.

If those powers were infections or grafts, then this power of the Kunpeng Bloodline was about devouring and complete assimilation.

"No wonder Ye Feipeng in the previous life, later on, his words, actions, and even his thoughts, all infinitely approached those of a true Yao Beast."

"This is the inevitable consequence of wanting to use the power of the Kunpeng Bloodline."

"But…"

Li Fan smiled slightly: "When I use the Creation Furnace Art to imitate it, I don't have such worries."

"Kun-Devour, Peng-Fly, Startling Peng Transformation…"

As he whispered, Li Fan's figure in the dark night twisted continuously, changing at times into a whale, at times into a Peng, and at times into a human figure with Peng wings.

Long after, Li Fan returned to his original appearance.

"The Kunpeng Bloodline used for comprehension was too little; at present, I only have its form and cannot fully replicate the Kunpeng Divine Ability."

"However, it doesn't matter; there is such a ready-made blood bank here."

Li Fan looked at Ye Feipeng and couldn't help but reveal a peaceful smile.

He grabbed the little fatty, soared into the sky, and disappeared instantly into the night.

The next day, the capital was in chaos.

Children had gone missing without reason from the homes of many powerful figures, including the Su, Ye, and Han families.

The families joined forces to turn the capital upside down, but they were unable to find any trace of the children.

For a time, panic spread, and rumors flew.

The victimized families gathered in secret to discuss, believing that, aside from the rumored Immortal, the only one capable of doing this was the Da Li Emperor.

Clearly, an Immortal would not do such a stealthy act. Thus, the only possibility was that the Emperor had made a move.

The powerful officials couldn't help but recall the various rumors they had heard, and resentment began to fester in their hearts.

Consequently, undercurrents surged within the capital.

Yet the culprit behind all of this, Li Fan, had long since left the Li Realm.

After returning to the Xuanhuang World, he did not pause for a moment.

He did not go to any specific region of the Xuanhuang World.

Instead, he returned to his hometown, Great Xuan, through the Immortal Severing Passage.

The Taiyan Boat sped against the wind, with sixteen children sitting huddled in the cabin, panic-stricken and shivering.

Li Fan stood at the bow, gazing at the scene below.

Also a complete Small World, Great Xuan was more than ten times larger than the Li Realm.

Since the Li Realm could produce cultivation Geniuses like Su Xiaomei and Xiao Heng, there was no reason Great Xuan couldn't.

The first stop was Guangcheng, the most prosperous city in Great Xuan.

With his vast Divine Sense sweeping over the Mortals below, Li Fan searched for suitable candidates.

Not long after, Li Fan frowned deeply.

"With this Aptitude, how come there are hardly any who are better than me?"

Shaking his head, the Taiyan Boat accelerated and headed to the next city.

The result still disappointed Li Fan.

After spending half a month, Li Fan had searched almost all the people of Great Xuan. Yet, those suitable for cultivation were surprisingly few and far between.

"It seems that my arduous start on the Immortal Path might not have been a coincidence."

"Heaven, Human…"

Leaping into the high sky, Li Fan closed his eyes and sensed the aura of the Xuan World itself.

"Humans are the spirits of all things, obtaining the creation of Heaven and Earth."

"Those favored by Heaven and Earth can sense Heaven and Earth, cultivate according to the Dao, and step onto the Immortal Path."

"This is what was supposed to happen."

"Although the probability is extremely small, with the massive population base of Great Xuan, theoretically speaking, there should not be a shortage of so-called Geniuses appearing."

"But instead…"

Li Fan recalled the Rift Whale groups lingering outside Great Xuan, attempting to completely peel the entire Xuan World away from the Xuanhuang World.

"If Heaven and Earth have no favor, who cut off the Immortal Path?"

"But why is the Li Realm so special?"

With doubts growing in his heart, Li Fan could only sigh softly and temporarily abandon his original plan.

He only made a detour to the vicinity of Disintegration Mountain, taking away the two boys with extraordinary bones he had seen before.

Then he left Great Xuan and returned to the Cultivation World.

"I knew it, there are Immortals in the world!" Sun Erlang paced back and forth, his expression excited.

Beside him, the burly and sturdy Wang Xuanba looked distressed and somewhat uneasy.

"Erlang, you say the Immortal captured us, what exactly does he want to do? When can we go back? I miss home…" he said to Sun Erlang in a low voice.

"Have some ambition! If we don't learn the skills to ride the clouds and mount the mists, or split mountains and tread the seas, how can I be content to go back just like this!" Sun Erlang said with dissatisfaction.

Wang Xuanba opened his mouth, about to say something.

But he discovered a figure suddenly appeared beside the two of them.

"Immortal Master!" Wang Xuanba was startled and quickly knelt down to kowtow.

"Immortal Master, please teach me cultivation!" Sun Erlang also bowed his head.

Li Fan's eyes swept over the two of them without answering.

He simply brought them into the cabin where Su Changyu and the other sixteen children were.

They were all tiny children, snatched here by Li Fan, many of whom had not seen their families.

In their confusion and helplessness, they uncontrollably cried in a group.

"Keep them quiet; this counts as your first test."

"Remember, you cannot hit anyone."

Li Fan said to Sun Erlang.

Then he disappeared.

Sun Erlang, who possessed great martial strength and boasted of being well-versed in all martial arts, looked at the group of snot-nosed brats before him and was immediately stumped.

There is one more chapter, it will be later.
