Chapter 439

"The fact that you could easily obtain even the entrance exam questions, not to mention other more confidential information..."

The words of the Five Elders Association's cultivator gradually became low and contemplative, clearly lost in thought and speculation.

After a moment, he snapped back to reality and looked at "Zhou Qing'ang."

"Although there were some minor flaws, overall, being able to connect with the organization behind He Zhenghao is a great achievement on your part."

He tossed over a storage ring.

"Inside, you'll find the *Heaven-Devouring Earth-Eating Technique* you wanted, along with some Enlightenment Pills."

"In addition, there's also fifty thousand contribution points worth of spirit stones as a reward for your achievement."

Upon hearing this, Li Fan received the storage ring and checked its contents, his face showing delight.

"Fifty thousand contribution points? Why is the boss being so generous!"

The Five Elders Association cultivator snorted, "Since there is merit, there will naturally be rewards. From now on, while you continue to stay undercover, make sure to maintain your relationship with He Zhenghao."

"If possible, try to extract some information from him about the mysterious organization behind him."

"Of course, if that's not possible, don't force it. Just being able to connect with them and exchange spirit stones for secrets is enough."

Li Fan nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, you can go back now."

"You've been in contact a bit too frequently lately. For the time being, avoid meeting with the boss to prevent any slip-ups."

"If anything unusual happens, you'll be contacted again."

After carefully instructing him, the other person left Youlan Island.

Only then did Li Fan's clone leisurely make his way back.

On Tai'an Island, Li Fan's main body had been waiting for a long time.

"Five hundred and fifty thousand contribution points, three bottles of Enlightenment Pills, the Heaven-Devouring Earth-Eating Technique..."

"This harvest isn't bad at all."

After tallying the items from both the main body and the clone's storage rings, Li Fan nodded slightly.

"With such a large amount of contribution points, whatever I plan next will be much easier."

After just a glance, Li Fan no longer paid attention to the pile of spirit stones.

Once it reaches a certain level, even more just becomes a string of numbers.

Moreover, for someone like Li Fan, who can continuously *reincarnate* and start over, the more cycles he goes through and the more information he gathers, the easier it becomes to acquire contribution points.

Li Fan first began reading the *Heaven-Devouring Earth-Eating Technique*.

To be safe, his clone Zhou Qing'ang inspected the jade slip.

The language style was vastly different from the techniques that could be exchanged in the Tianxuan Mirror of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

It wasn't so straightforward and to the point, focusing directly on key cultivation aspects.

Instead, it was filled with many mysterious and obscure phrases, making it somewhat difficult to understand.

Li Fan carefully checked again and confirmed that he had not made any mistakes in his cultivation. He then attempted it once more.

This time, he unleashed more power, increasing the suction force.

The earth vein's energy trembled slightly but seemed to be an interconnected whole, unmovable.

The delicacy was right in front of him, but he couldn't enjoy it.

The clone's eyes grew even redder.

He became anxious and relentlessly intensified the Heaven-Devouring Earth-Eating Technique's suction.

The earth vein continued to resist.

As the two forces clashed, the entire Tai'an Island began to tremble slightly.

If this continued, the disturbance would undoubtedly arouse suspicion from others.

But the clone didn't care at all and showed no signs of stopping.

It wasn't until the main body, who had been observing, intervened and slapped "Zhou Qing'ang" unconscious that the shaking on Tai'an Island ceased.

"This Heaven-Devouring Earth-Eating Technique is a bit sinister..."

Li Fan frowned slightly.

The main body and the clone share the same consciousness, so theoretically, there shouldn't be a situation where the clone loses control.

But just now, under the influence of the "eating" desire, Li Fan's consciousness felt as if it had split in two.

When the clone looked at the main body, there was even a fleeting thought of devouring it.

But at that time, it was still controllable.

When the "eating" was obstructed, and the desire was not satisfied, the clone became completely bewitched.

Even though he knew the consequences of forcibly absorbing Tai'an Island's earth vein, he just couldn't stop himself.

"No wonder the creator of this technique couldn't restrain himself; it's not that he didn't want to, but that he simply couldn't."

Li Fan couldn't help but feel a bit regretful.

Not for the creator's fate, but for the fact that this secret technique couldn't be fully utilized by him.

"But there's no need to be overly concerned. I have the *Mountain Sitting Technique*, and Heaven-Devouring Earth-Eating Technique would only be an added bonus."

"Besides, I could still let others practice this technique and then reap the benefits."

...

After pondering for a moment, Li Fan set the matter aside.

His gaze penetrated through layers of obstacles and looked at the earth veins beneath Tai'an Island.

"The original Mountain and River Formation had already interconnected the earth veins of the world. Although the formation has now been replaced by the *Heavenly Origin Vitality Formation*, the effect remains."

"Even if I wanted to devour heaven and eat earth, it wouldn't be as easy as it was in ancient times."

"The once terrifying forbidden technique from thousands of years ago, after the passage of time, now seems so weak."

"No wonder the Five Elders Association handed it over so easily to a Foundation Establishment spy."

Li Fan shook his head and sighed.
