Chapter 126: Chapter 121 Wooden Simplicity Saves All Beings
Translator: 549690339
Upon hearing Li Fan’s words, the cultivators were initially stunned, and then burst into a chorus of different reactions.
Some were full of disdain, ridiculing loudly: “Where did this Energy Refining
Cultivator come from, spouting nonsense?”
“Exactly, he’s asking others to disperse their energy. Why doesn’t he do it himself?”
Some appeared thoughtful: “Could it be, that the friend here means, the mouthless monster wielding the wooden stick is only targeting cultivators and not mortals?”
“Although it sounds unbelievable, it’s not impossible. The situation here somewhat resembles the eeriness within the sect ruins.”
This reasoning resonated with quite a few cultivators.
“The Green Bull Cart is nearly entering the Celestial Palace of Clouds and
Waters, the time left for us isn’t much. We could indeed give it a try.”
“However that wooden stick is really formidable. Maybe it’s because of our cultivation that we’re able to preserve our lives. If we get rid of our power and become mortals, we might directly die from a single strike.”
“Hiss, the Daoist friend’s words indeed have some truth to them.”
The crowd was abuzz with discussion, in that moment not one dared to step forward and try.
While the crowd hesitated, a red-haired cultivator seemed unnerved. He yelled, glaring at the crowd: “What are you so worried about? It’s just dispersing energy! With the Supreme Primordial Scripture, it can be quickly cultivated back. I’ll do it!”
Saying so, he swooped down in front of the thatched cottage. Shortly after invoking the Supreme Primordial Scripture, his cultivation was completely dispersed and he turned mortal.
Li Fan’s heart skipped a beat and immediately locked onto him with the Formless Killing Machine.
The red-haired cultivator who was previously nonchalant, facing the huge, ferocious monster as a mortal, inevitably became nervous.
He swallowed, inching forward step by step.
All eyes were on him at this moment. Silence engulfed the surroundings.
As he slowly approached the thatched cottage, the mouthless monster remained oblivious to him. The monster with the wooden stick took its time to scrutinize him. Though its wooden stick was lifted several times, it did not strike.
So, the red-haired man arrived at the entrance of the thatched cottage without any danger.
The faint sound of reading from inside the cottage suddenly stopped. The door boomed open, a somewhat aged voice echoed from within.
“Come in!”
The red-haired man’s face brightened as he stepped into the cottage.
The door closed behind him, and the two door gods remained outside, vigilantly guarding.
The area around the Green Bull Cart suddenly became as lively as a market.
“Did it really succeed?!”
“This Energy Refining Cult…no no no, this Daoist friend is indeed way smarter.
May I know how to address you?”
“Damn, Liu Zhi beat me to it. No, I must disperse my energy and get in too!”
Of course, there were quite a few cultivators who remained calm: “No rush, let’s wait for Liu Zhi to come out, and see what’s there in the thatched cottage.” “Right. After all, he is a mortal now. He won’t be able to escape.”
The surroundings were chaotic, but Li Fan was frowning, staring intently at the thatched cottage.
Because, the moment Liu Zhi entered the cottage, the Formless Killing Machine which had locked on him malfunctioned.
Ever since Li Fan mastered this Divine Technique, such a situation had never occurred.
The Formless Killing Machine, a pseudo-Destiny Technique, was invariably effective in all situations.
And now…
There might be an extremely terrifying existence inside this thatched cottage.
The other cultivators didn’t share Li Fan’s concerns. Subsequently, five more Energy Refining Cultivators hastily entered the thatched cottage.
As for the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, they still remained cautious and observant.
The thatched cottage showed no changes, only the unchanging sound of reading echoed in the hearts of everyone.
Though they were restless, they had no choice but to wait patiently.
The next morning.
Unnoticed by everyone, the six people who entered yesterday suddenly appeared on the open ground outside the thatched cottage.
They lay scattered around, but their breathing was normal, seeming to be in deep slumber.
“Wait, weren’t they all mortals after dispersing their cultivation? How come their cultivation is completely restored now?”
Soon, a cultivator noticed something odd.
“Not only is their cultivation restored, but their cultivation seems to have advanced by a small realm?”
“Yes, Liu Zhi was at the Initial Stage of Energy Refining. Just one night passed, and now he’s in the Mid-Stage of Energy Refining!”
“That Mid-Stage Energy Refining Cultivator has also broken through to the Final Stage of Energy Refining!”
“The one in the Final Stage of Energy Refining hasn’t broken through. But his energy seems more solid than before, so he must have gained something.”
Amid the crowd’s gasps, the way they looked at the thatched cottage had completely changed.
A great opportunity, indeed!
Indiscriminately advancing a person’s cultivation by an entire realm could save how many resources and time!
The higher the cultivation, the higher the value!
Unable to contain their excitement, the cultivators woke up the six and asked about the happenings inside the thatched cottage the previous day. The six of them gave consistent accounts, leaving the crowd perplexed.
“You just read inside for a day?” “The teacher was a bamboo scroll floating in the air?”
“You can’t recall what you read?”
Although it was strange, they must not be lying.
With the great opportunity in front of them, after a moment’s hesitation, all the Energy Refining Cultivators present chose to disperse their cultivation and enter the cottage.
Just as Chen An was about to go forward, he looked back at Li Fan and found it strange to see him stand still.
He humbly asked, “Daoist Li Fan, is there something strange inside?”
Li Fan shook his head: “There should be no problem. However, I am already in the Final Stage of Energy Refining and the opportunity here isn’t of much use to me. You may just go in, no need to wait for me. I’ll observe a bit more.”
After hesitating for a moment, Chen An clasped his fist towards Li Fan and entered the thatched cottage.
However, the Foundation Establishment cultivators still did not make any move.
Zhou Ningchang explained the reason to Li Fan.updat℮ by п℮wɳoѵ℮l. ƟRƓ
As it turns out, cultivators above Foundation Establishment can disperse their cultivation through the Supreme Primordial Scripture, but their Tao Foundation remains in a virtual state and wouldn’t be dispersed.
They hesitated wondering whether they would be considered a mortal, and so everyone remained observant.
After waiting for a long time, finally a Foundation Establishment cultivator could not resist.
He went first to try.
After dispersing his cultivation, there were no mishaps, and he was able to safely enter the thatched cottage.
At that, a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators were overjoyed and all followed into the cottage.
Even the only Gold Core cultivator in the field couldn’t resist the temptation.
As for the six cultivators who had already entered yesterday, they wanted to try again in hopes of advancing by another realm.
As expected, they were beaten out directly.
So, they all left, hoping to bring their friends and family here before the Green Bull Cart enters the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters. Soon, only Li Fan was left outside the thatched cottage..
