Chapter 248: Soul Transformation vs. Dao Integration
Li Fan, who had gotten the answers he wanted, did not leave immediately.
Instead, he waited for the transformation of the swordfish to complete.
After a long time, the swordfish, whose body had become much stronger, finally absorbed the essence of its kin completely.
Satisfied, it shook off its body and swam back into the sea.
However, it completely failed to notice the five black figures emerging from the depths of the sea, quietly approaching.
Caught off guard, the swordfish fell into the encirclement of the previous fish kings.
Five ugly and ferocious-looking fish, each with strength surpassing that of the swordfish, launched successive attacks against it.
Each of these fish kings was more powerful than the swordfish.
Under their well-coordinated siege, the swordfish quickly found itself in a desperate situation.
Blood sprayed, and it was on the verge of death.
At that moment, above the sea, Li Fan sent a mass of essence into the air.
This was the purest essence of flesh and blood.
It was the result of Lin Fan's continuous research on the hidden potential of the human body during this period.
The power contained in the essence extracted from a perfect stage Foundation Establishment cultivator's body was incredibly potent.
For the swordfish, it was even more nourishing than swallowing all its kin before.
In an instant, the wounds on its body visibly healed.
Moreover, its body size was even larger than in its previous heyday.
This unexpected scene left the several attacking fish kings dumbfounded.
Their attacks involuntarily paused.
Seizing this opportunity, the swordfish, which had been on the defensive, decisively launched a counterattack.
With its ferocious body carrying overwhelming force, it ruthlessly charged towards the fiercest of the fish kings.
It was as swift as lightning and practically unstoppable.
Its golden spear pierced the abdomen of the fish king, ripping the body open.
Dark red blood slowly drifted up to the water's surface.
In an instant, the fish king met its end.
The bloodthirsty swordfish, now with a red glare in its eyes, was about to turn its head to deal with the remaining fish kings.
However, it discovered that the other four fish kings, realizing that something was wrong, had actually fled directly, each escaping for its life.
The swordfish, which narrowly escaped death, was somewhat bewildered.
It swam aimlessly in the sea for a long time, unable to find where the essence that saved its life came from.
In the end, it could only sway its body and swim toward the depths of the ocean.
"Unless among the Soul Transformation experts, there is a peerless powerhouse comparable to a Dao Integration cultivator..."
...
Li Fan was engrossed in reading when he suddenly found that this piece of information had disappeared.
"Removed so quickly..."
"Does this mean that there are indeed forces in the pursuit team of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance comparable to Dao Integration cultivators?"
"Interesting."
Li Fan pondered silently.
In the path of immortal cultivation, the greater the advancement, the greater the gap between each level.
Qi Condensation kills Foundation Establishment, Foundation Establishment slaughters Golden Core, and Golden Core beheads Nascent Soul.
Perhaps extraordinary geniuses could achieve this through their talents and magical powers.
But for Nascent Soul to kill Soul Transformation or Soul Transformation to behead Dao Integration was an almost impossible task.
Of course, the situation of pawns like Zhang Haobo was not within the scope of discussion.
As for Dao Integration slaughtering Longevity Immortal...
That would eliminate the word "almost."
"A Soul Transformation cultivator comparable to Dao Integration... The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's depth is truly deep."
"I wonder if I can contend with Dao Integration experts when I reach Soul Transformation."
"I believe that even if I can't win, I should be able to protect my life."
After pondering for a moment, Li Fan, seeing no more noteworthy information in 'Discussing Dao While Seated,' exited the platform.
After the big battle, it was time to rest and recuperate.
The 17th, 18th, and 19th years were all peaceful in the Cong Yun Sea.
Li Fan also enjoyed a rare long period of closed-door cultivation.
During these three years, the illusory figure of the 'Karmic Body' became more and more lifelike.
The jade slips delivered by Zhang Zhiliang's clone were all learned and mastered.
The second piece of the Dao Transformation Stone had also been fully absorbed.
The performance of the blue crystal in his mind had almost doubled compared to the beginning, and Li Fan's use of the Divine Transformation Dao technique became even more skillful.
As for the "Heavenly Doctor's Immortal Sutra," it was indeed vast and profound.
After several years, Li Fan had only preliminarily understood a small part of it.
However, Li Fan was not in a hurry; he had plenty of time.
After paying a visit to Zhang Zhiliang and passing his test, Li Fan obtained another jade slip from him.
As he was about to leave, Li Fan vaguely sensed that Zhang Zhiliang's aura seemed different from before.
It seemed that some inexplicable changes had occurred in him.
