Chapter 352: Chapter 329: Heaven and Earth Rise Again

After some thought, Li Fan did not directly ask He Zhenghao.

Instead, he sent a message to Taoist Jingxuan.

As He Zhenghao’s direct superior, his status was far above that of He Zhenghao.

If Lü Junyi were promoted to commander-in-chief, he should benefit greatly.

Jingxuan did not respond for a while, and Li Fan did not hurry him.

Next, he re-examined the matter of the Supreme Immortal offering a reward for longevity treasures.

The three-year deadline was approaching, with just over eight months to go.

According to the unofficial news circulating among the people, apart from the clear and promising Fruit of Eternal Life, that could extend life by 500 years almost ensuring its first position.

The competition below was extremely fierce.

It had reached a point where professional cultivators were brought in to identify and confirm the specific time of life extension, with accuracy up to the month.

“The Ethernal Life Fruit only gives three hundred years…”

Li Fan sighed inwardly.

The opportunity to use Yan Fajue was too tempting, and the competition was beyond imagination.

“It’s a bit of a stretch. But looking for another longevity treasure is impossible now.”

“It’s all up to fate now.”

Closing the information on the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan pushed aside his distracting thoughts, calmed his mind, and began his selfless cultivation.

However, not long after he entered seclusion, Li Fan was interrupted by a sudden surge of cultivation feedback.

It flowed continuously, though not as much as when He Zhenghao and Su Xiaomei had broken through to the Golden Core.

But for Li Fan at this point, it was definitely a pleasant surprise, greatly accelerating his progress towards the mid-stage Golden Core.

“This is…”

After sensing briefly, Li Fan was somewhat surprised.

“Xue Mu?”

“Did he really gain something from his visit to the [Mortal to God Wall]?”

“Judging from the amount of cultivation feedback, he must be at least at the Three Law Golden Core stage?”

“Interesting. Turning from mortal to god, truly well-deserved reputation. It seems that once things are settled here, I can indeed go and have a look.”

While Li Fan was pondering, he also received an ecstatic message from Xue Mu.

“Haha, Brother Li Fan, I made it!”

“I really want to thank you. Without your recommendation of this wonder where all laws resonate, how could I have achieved the Golden Core with three laws?”

“I will never forget your kindness, friend!”

Li Fan smiled slightly, not responding.

“Your diligent cultivation is the best reward for me.”

Li Fan said to himself.

Putting away the Communication Talisman, Li Fan returned to his quiet cultivation.

Unexpectedly, just over two months later, he was once again disturbed by a strong cultivation feedback, forcing him to stop his cultivation.

This feedback was several times greater than what Xue Mu had brought.

Clearly, this person had a deeper bond with Li Fan.

“Is this Xiao Heng?”

“Has he broken through to the mid-stage Golden Core?”

Feeling the connection in the dark, Li Fan was somewhat pleasantly surprised.

“He should be in Shilin State right now. It’s a pity the distance is too far to use the Formless Killing Machine.”

“Breaking through again in such a short time, he must have encountered some kind of opportunity.”

With an additional boost, the difficulty of advancing was reduced.

“It seems that reaching the Initial Perfect Stage of Golden Core before the deadline should not be a problem.”

“I just don’t know how troublesome this small realm’s Heavenly Calamity bottleneck will be.”

Filled with excitement, Li Fan once again returned to his cultivation.

However, the events of the next few months brought Li Fan a great harvest of joy, but also a sense of inexplicable fear.

Because, apart from Xue Mu and Xiao Heng.

In just over half a year, except for Su Xiaomei and Zhang Haobo, who disappeared in the Ruin of Chaoyuan Sect.

He Zhenghao, the Yin sisters, and even Zhao Dabao and Su Changyu, all achieved breakthroughs one after another.

Keep in mind that Su Changyu planned to cultivate using the [Art of Self-Founded Cultivation] method.

This time the amount of cultivation he reflected back was far from that of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Could it be, he succeeded in the [Art of Self-Founded Cultivation]?

Yin Shangren dissected hundreds of his own corpses, but only achieved half of the success.

When did Su Changyu’s talent become so good?

Moreover, what concerned Li Fan more was,

If a few cultivators breakthrough simultaneously, can be explained as a coincidence.

Then, the phenomenon of cultivators experiencing a large-scale breakthrough in such a short time made Li Fan suspect that some unknown changes were happening.

To verify his speculation, Li Fan had to put aside cultivation as well.

Searching for information in the Tianxuan Mirror.

Using ‘breakthrough’ as the keyword, Li Fan found that the information appearing in the past year was indeed much denser than before.

It even showed signs of a sudden surge.

Looking at the excited words of the cultivators, Li Fan found out that most of them were lucky that they didn’t encounter the bottleneck of the Heavenly Calamity during their breakthroughs.

Once they reached the limit of their cultivation, they naturally succeeded in advancing to the next stage.

Such a phenomenon is not an isolated case.

Many cultivators who had been stuck in a bottleneck for many years have made a breakthrough in such an inexplicable way.

“Cultivation seems to have become easier.”

Many a cultivator echoed this sentiment.

Because the number of low-level cultivators is too large, many have not yet made a breakthrough.

Therefore, most people merely took their words as boasting after achieving success and did not think much of it.

But Li Fan didn’t think that way.

“Could it be that the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals’ urgency to build the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array is related to this matter?”

Li Fan couldn’t help relating these two things.

Neither too many nor too few cultivators are acceptable.

Through the previous mission of hunting the Red Exotic Beast on the deserted island, Li Fan understood that the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals deliberately was controlling the number of cultivators under its command.

The urgency to build the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array must mean that something that could impact or even overturn the rule of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals is about to occur.

This extreme array technique can only be adopted for the purpose of maintaining stability.

“Are the anomalies of Heaven and Earth happening again, causing the number of cultivators to spiral out of control?”

Li Fan squinted his eyes.

If the speculation is true, then in the near future,

The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization will most certainly begin to drastically reduce the number of cultivators through various means.

An outright massacre is unlikely.

It could be another war.

Or it might be…

Seeming to have thought of something, Li Fan suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

He stood up abruptly, like falling into severe winter.

According to the propaganda of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, the establishment of the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array is for rooting out the hidden spies of the Five Elders Organization.

The real effect of the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array has been fully verified in Jiushan province.

The cultivators have profound trust in its magical effects.

After the Spirit-locking Formation is built, the spies will have nowhere to hide for the heaven-piercing light beams.

However…

The core part of the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array, the Tianxuan Mirror, has its own will.

What if the Tianxuan Mirror deliberately labels pure cultivators of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals as spies of the Five Elders Organization?

Under the radiance of the light beam, would any other cultivator believe you are innocent?

The more Li Fan thought about it, the colder his heart became.

An outright massacre might be impending.
