Li Fan had seen many Natural Treasures before.

Not to mention the Ocean Pearl condensed from the will of the Misthaven Ocean, there was also Kou Hong’s Curled Dragon Branch, and Dao Xuanzi’s Rusted Sword Daoxuan.

Now it seemed that eight or nine out of ten were transformations of fallen cultivators from the past.

The Curled Dragon Branch used small gains for big profits and engaged in devouring things; the Rusted Sword Daoxuan represented an unyielding spirit, possessing the ability to slow down the rusting process.

Clearly, one could vaguely see the shadow of the cultivators within them.

Upon suddenly learning the secret of the Natural Treasures, Li Fan was somewhat startled.

But he had seen grand spectacles like the Crimson Blaze Ocean in the past, so he quickly calmed down.

In Li Fan’s view, the tension between this world and the cultivators have evidently reached a peak.

With such tension, it was possible for any bizarre event to occur.

Li Fan then continued to browse Sikong Bo’s memories.

The Nascent Soul Expert had long turned himself into a Foundation Establishment Strange Object and attached himself to the child, mostly remaining in deep slumber.

He would only awaken to coach the child in cultivation or when the child was in mortal danger.

Thus, he hadn’t noticed Sikong Bo, who was secretly observing with malintent. Until that night, when Sikong Bo tried to extract the child’s Blood Essence, he was awakened.

The Nascent Soul Expert was instantly furious. The child was his key to achieving the God Transformation or even the Unity-Path. How could he allow anyone to covet him?

The expert instantly showed his form, a Green Willow, intending to kill Sikong Bo on the spot.

On one side was a Natural Treasure, a diminished form of a Nascent Soul monk, with much reduced strength.

On the other side was a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage with a millennium of hidden sect inheritance, using various tactics.

For a time, they were locked in a stalemate.

Both parties used all means at their disposal, going all out in their fight, unwilling to back down.

After a long struggle and both parties severely injured, they finally showed signs of retreat.

At this moment, the child suddenly appeared.

With a cold expression, he looked indifferently at the two of them, completely different from the innocent five or six-year-old child he used to be.

His cultivation was already at the Limit of Energy Refining, ready to step into the Foundation Establishment Stage at any moment with a Natural Treasure.

The Green Willow vaguely felt a sense of danger.

It wanted to flee, but it was too late.

Over these days, while it was sleeping, the child had laid various restrictions on it. Now that they suddenly took effect, the Green Willow was instantly absorbed by the child.

In a blink of an eye, it was entirely refined.

Watching this scene, Sikong Bo felt a cold dread and immediately fled.

Of course, the child wouldn’t let him escape.

Although the child had just entered the Foundation Establishment Phase, his moves revealed signs of a great master. Every one of his actions aimed accurately at Sikong Bo’s vital points.

Moreover, he seemed to have a good understanding of Sikong Bol s background.

Every time Sikong Bo wanted to escape by splitting from his avatar, the avatar was destroyed by the child in the nick of time.

The two chased one another until Sikong Bo’s avatar was completely destroyed

and Sikong Bo himself severely wounded and desperate.

In the end, he had no choice but to release all the residual spirits of his former sect elders from the Day Theft and Day Exchange Order in hopes of a momentary hold off.

The residual spirits indeed caused some interference to the child, and Sikong Bo managed to distance himself.

But then he saw the purple thunderstorm descending from the sky, reducing all residual spirits to ashes.

Sikong Bo was so scared that his soul nearly flew out of his body. Without hesitation, he ran for his life.

He ran all the way to the remote Misthaven Sea Realm before he finally stopped.

The injuries he sustained were too severe, and he only spent a short time in the Misthaven Sea before his end was upon him.

Before his death, Sikong Bo sought out Sikong Yi and accepted him as his disciple.

After hurriedly passing on “The Secret of Swapping Day and Night” and a token to him, he fell.

Compared to his master’s shocking experiences, Sikong Yi’s memories were much simpler.

Although he had received the inheritance of the Stealing Heaven and Earth Sect, his poor master had left him with almost nothing before his death.

Independent cultivation was incredibly difficult.

Even gathering materials to create a doppelganger was a challenge.

So after he gropingly cultivated to the Energy Refining Stage, he made a decisive decision to join the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

After breaking through to the Mid Stage of Energy Refining, he started collecting materials to refine his own doppelganger.

By chance, during an undersea exploration, he came across a corpse.

Sikong Yi had a sense that this corpse was extraordinary, perhaps it belonged to a powerful cultivator in life.

So, he used this corpse as material and created his own doppelganger.

This doppelganger was named Baili Chen.

At the same time as the successful creation of the doppelganger, a series of vague images appeared in his spirit consciousness.

As it turns out, this corpse was that of a disciple from the ancient Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters.

When the Great Calamity arrived, he was severely injured and fled from the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters.

Unfortunately, he didn’t last long and eventually perished in the vast ocean.

It wasn’t until thousands of years later that Sikong Yi used him to cultivate a doppelganger.

Through this doppelganger, Sikong Yi not only obtained a technique named “The Godly Sword of Calming Seas”, but he also learned some secrets from the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters.

Unfortunately, they were only vague fragments and not complete understanding.

Moreover, the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters is hidden by a great array, invisible to the world. Sikong Yi wanted to explore it, but he had no means to do so.

Later, when he discovered that the reward item worth one hundred thousand contribution points was “The Cloud and Water Scroll”, and that it was in the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters, he was overjoyed.

Knowing his chance had come, he kept an eye on the abnormalities in the central sea area, secretly waiting for the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters to open.

After waiting for 11 years, when the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters reappeared in the mortal world, he was the first to enter.

He originally planned to obtain “The Cloud and Water Scroll”, earn a hundred thousand contribution points, and thus smooth out his path of cultivation.

However, he didn’t expect to encounter Li Fan.

Even in his death, Sikong Yi never knew who killed him.

And how the other party noticed him?

After all, he had learned from his master’s lesson and became extremely cautious in moving forward, hadn’t he?

Feeling the intense regret in Sikong Yi’s residual soul, Li Fan remained calm.

He summoned the Blue Flame Spirit and completely destroyed the two residual souls.

“If it weren’t for me, Sikong Yi could have successfully obtained ‘The Cloud and Water Scroll’, exchanged it for a hundred thousand contribution points, and then left the Misthaven Sea using a long-distance teleportation array before anyone could react.”

“No, that’s not right.” Recalling the events of his previous life, Li Fan shook his head.

“In the past life, many witnessed Sikong Yi leaving through the teleportation array alone. Nobody noticed Baili Chen …”

“Perhaps, this was Sikong Yi’s tactic of misdirection. In the end, he may not have left the Misthaven Sea.”

“While pretending to leave the Misthaven Sea right under the public eye, creating an illusion that he had left, he actually sneaked back into the Misthaven Sea using ‘The Secret of Swapping Day and Night.”‘

“He didn’t need to avoid the TianXuan Mirror, just had to disappear from the sight of those who were jealous of a hundred thousand contribution points …”

“Not a bad tactic. Maybe in this life, I can do the same. After all, the temptation of a hundred thousand contribution points is just too huge.”

Li Fan put the Day Theft and Day Exchange Order into his storage ring, and flew toward in the direction of the not-too-distant island.

He needed to return to the Ten Thousand Immortals Island first.

The gains from the journey to the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters this time were too great, and he was finding a little too much to digest.

He had to spend some time properly absorbing it all..
