Chapter 64: Chapter 63: Return to Liuli Island

[The simulation has ended]
The fully conscious Li Fan was still somewhat speechless.
The previous life had been the shortest life he had lived since he activated the True Reincarnation.
It was abruptly terminated just nine years after passing.
He once had grand ambitions, with various plans in place.
To his surprise, he was inexplicably pursued and killed as soon as he entered the Immortal Cultivation World.
What was even more absurd was that the pursuer was from the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.
Unaware of the attacker’s identity, he thought of escaping to He Zhenghao on Liuli Island for protection.
However, he was firmly surrounded by two Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
The pursuers came from a thousand miles away, and their target was clear – to kill Li Fan.
Li Fan didn’t think inquiring about the reason behind his pursuit would result in an honest response.
Facing two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, Li Fan didn’t have the slightest chance of survival.
Hence, he decisively chose to start over.
Why did the people from the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals chase him?
Especially soon after he had entered the Immortal Cultivation World?
Li Fan’s eyebrows furrowed, plunging into deep confusion.
Without solving this problem, all future plans would be an empty talk.
The Misthaven Ocean was currently under the control of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, and they could obviously locate his position through some method.
Where did the problem arise?
Could it be because he had brought Qian Hong’s bones back to the Immortal Cultivation World?
Or was it….
Li Fan inspected and eliminated each item he held in turn.
Finally, he locked on to the target.
“The Minor Water Expansion Technique”.
After pondering, the technique was the most likely suspect.
After all, he can be said to have nothing to do with the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals at present.
Only this technique was inherited from the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals in his past life.
Li Fan narrowed his eyes, carefully pondered for a bit, and an answer vaguely formed in his mind.
“This ‘The Minor Water Expansion Technique’ and all other techniques must be constantly monitored by the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals. If they suddenly find that one of the techniques has not been exchanged yet the number of practicing Cultivators has increased by one. They would know that the technique has already been leaked.”
“No matter how it leaked, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals will inevitably have to retrieve the technique. As for the method of retrieval, it is naturally to kill directly.”
“Why can they directly lock on to my location…”
“For a single Refining Energy Technique, they directly deployed Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Judging from his conversation tone with He
Zhenghao, I’m afraid his Cultivation level is even higher than He Zhenghao’s. It’s at least the Mid Stage of Foundation Establishment, there’s also the possibility of it being the Final Stage Foundation Establishment.”
He seemed to have seen a picture.
In the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, thousands and thousands of pieces of Technique information were arranged in order, densely packed like a high wall.
And in front of the high wall, a pair of eyes were watching intently.
Taking in every single variation of these techniques.
Once the number of people cultivating an initially cultivated technique suddenly turned to zero;
Or if a technique that was initially not cultivated, its number of cultivators suddenly increased without being exchanged;
The owner of these eyes would calmly make arrangements.
“Protection, Protection…”
‘What a brilliant Protection!”
Li Fan applauded.
Looking at the options still floating in front of him, Li Fan calmed down and chose to keep the realm from his previous life.
In an instant, he returned to the Energy Refining Stage.
Without any hesitation, Li Fan then operated the “Supreme Primordial Scripture” , eradicating the pursuit at the Final Stage of Energy Refining of “The Minor Water Expansion Technique”.
After that, he proceeded as he had done in his previous life.
After nine years, Li Fan returned to the Immortal Cultivation World.
Passing through the Immortal Forbiddance Formation, Li Fan waited for a long time on the spot.
Sure enough, his guess was correct.
Without cultivating “The Minor Water Expansion Technique”, he didn’t attract the pursuit of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals’ guardians.
Only then did Li Fan gradually head towards Liuli Island.
As he flew close to the territory of Liuli Island, an image from his memory suddenly flashed through Li Fan’s mind.
He abruptly stopped and looked down.
His gaze penetrated the water, reaching deep into the seabed.
There, schools of Liuli Fish were dragging the bodies of mortal humans who had fallen into the ocean for various reasons, offering them to a massive golden Liuli Fish.
With its obese body swinging, this golden Liuli Fish swallowed each human corpse her underlings had procured, one by one.
After chewing for a while and spitting out the remains, it showed a dissatisfied expression.
It stared out with its huge eyes, greedily looking towards the sea surface.
It seemed to yearn for more, fresher mortals.
Watching this scene, Li Fan snorted coldly.
The Formless Killing Machine acted accordingly.
Beneath the deep sea, the Liuli Fish that had initially been enthusiastically offering food to their leader, suddenly froze.
The golden Liuli Fish, somewhat dissatisfied, was about to scold its minions, but then noticed something strange about them.
Their eyes were glowing red, all staring at the golden giant Liuli Fish.
The golden Liuli Fish felt a sense of danger and tried to flee.
But it was too late.
A swarm of Liuli Fish attacked crazily, surrounding it completely.
The figure of the golden Liuli Fish disappeared amidst the school of fish.
Trails of golden blood slowly floated to the surface.
Li Fan held a Liuli Bead roughly the size of a pigeon’s egg in his hand, observing it carefully.
“Unfortunately, it’s not a natural treasure.”
“However, merely carrying it around has a similar effect as taking a Liuli Pill.
This item is not bad.”
Li Fan put it away in satisfaction and continued flying towards Liuli Island.
As he approached Liuli Island, Li Fan stopped mid-air, releasing his spiritual energy.
Shortly after, a voice echoed from far away: “May I know which Daoist friend visits my Liuli Island?”
Appearing with the voice was the figure of He Zhenghao.
As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, He Zhenghao didn’t act arrogantly in front of an Energy Refining cultivator who abruptly visited. He addressed him as “Daoist friend”.
“I’ve met Daoist He!” Li Fan saluted with his hand.
“I, Li Fan, am a lone cultivator of Misthaven Ocean. It was extremely difficult to advance to the final stage of Energy Refining, and I realize that it’s impossible to establish a foundation as a lone cultivator.”
“So, I wish to join the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals to obtain a Foundation Establishment Technique.”
Li Fan paused, then continued: “I’ve long heard of Daoist friend’s reputation for kindness and philanthropy, so I’ve come to pay a visit.”
“I hope you can recommend me. I’ll certainly repay you once this matter is accomplished!”
Upon hearing Li Fan’s intention to join the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, He Zhenghao was somewhat stunned.
He didn’t expect that one day he’d encounter such good fortune falling from the sky.
When Li Fan stated he’d return the favor in the future, He Zhenghao was overjoyed: “Oh, Daoist friend, don’t mention it. As fellow cultivators, we all know the challenges of cultivation, and we should help each other when we can. Rest assured, the matter of you joining the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals is in my hands!”
Li Fan faintly smiled: “Your reputation as a timely helper is well-deserved,
Daoist friend. I’m truly impressed.”
Just as He Zhenghao was about to explain that he didn’t have the title of “timely helper”, he thought about it and found the title quite fitting.
If this could spread, it would greatly benefit his cultivation, so he didn’t deny it.
With that, both of them shared a laugh..
