Chapter 72 - 72: 71: The Nature of Beings After Leaving This World

Invoking the Invisible Talisman, Li Fan dived into the sea and located the entrance to the Rift Realm amid the deep-sea ruins.

An inconspicuous well.

Diving into the well, he was embraced by a familiar aura, reminiscent of the Da Xuan Abyss.

Falling deeper into the well, suddenly, after an unspecified period of time, Li

Fan felt a moment of dizziness.

When his senses returned, he was surrounded by inky blackness, long discarded by the sea.

“It seems all the Immortal Forbiddance Formations sealing the Small Worlds behave the same way.” Li Fan contemplated, surveying the surroundings.

A swarm of over ten thousand Splitting Realm Whales concealed in the darkness tirelessly forged space, pushing the Rift Realm further from the Immortal Cultivation World.

Just as it was in Da Xuan, where Li Fan was before.

Splitting Realm Whales were sensitive to mortal auras, but unaffected by Cultivators.

Nonetheless, Li Fan chose to carefully avoid the Splitting Realm Whales and arrived at the Thunderstorm Layer.

At that moment, He Zhenghao’s admonitions resurfaced in his mind.

“The Immortal Forbiddance Formation isolates the Rift Realm from the Immortal Cultivation World. A Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator trying to force his way in would have to tread carefully. However, if you follow my method of breaking through the formation, the Great Array won’t attack you…”

Activating his spiritual energy as per He Zhenghao’s instructions, Li Fan flew into the Thunderstorm Layer.

Remaining stationary for a while, the raging thunder kept striking around Li Fan, not a single bolt hitting him.

“As expected, it works. This way, even without the Tai Yan Boat, one could pass through this Immortal Forbiddance Formation. The ordinary wooden boat provided to the mortals of the Rift Realm must have been inscribed with Array Techniques to fix the disturbance within, thus avoiding the formation’s attacks.”

“The Tai Yan Boat is able to pass through the Immortal Forbiddance Formation due to the Array Technique set up during its construction. However, what He Zhenghao does is akin to cracking the defense of the Great Array and opening a secret passage for himself.”

“He didn’t exaggerate about his extraordinary accomplishments in the art of

Array Techniques on closer inspection.”

Upon validation, Li Fan didn’t choose to tread the mortal path again.

Releasing the Tai Yan Boat immediately, he skillfully traversed the Immortal Forbiddance Formation and headed towards Da Li.

Both Da Li and Da Xuan resembled the mortal world.

However _ at the center of thig world. stood a towering volcano several

kilometers high.

The volcano would erupt every two or three hundred years, causing countless casualties.

Furthermore, the eruptions were becoming increasingly frequent and catastrophic.

The ruling class of the Da Li Dynasty worried that one day, the volcano would turn the entire world into a hell of magma, hence they tirelessly sought a way to escape this world.

Yet, they could not find an exit.

Until fifty years ago, an Immortal Teacher suddenly descended. He promised to take a group of people from here every ten years.

The condition was to help him gather the materials listed on the checklist.

The nobles of Da Li gleefully agreed.

Thus, both parties had been keeping the deal for fifty years.

As the agreed trading time approached nearer, the four watchtowers in the Capital City of Da Li had officers watching for the Immortal’s arrival round -the -clock.

So when Li Fan arrived over the Capital City of Da Li, the chiming sound of bells reverberated continuously from below.

Shortly after, the Emperor of Da Li, leading the ministers of civil and military affairs, came forward to greet Li Fan.

“Welcome, Immortal Teacher!”

In the square, the Emperor of Da Li, along with his ministers, dropped to their knees and shouted in unison.

“The agreed upon day has arrived. Have you gathered all the required materials?” Li Fan looked down from above and coldly inquired.

The Emperor of Da Li hastily replied, “Respected Immortal, all the items on the list have been prepared.”

Li Fan nodded, “If that’s the case, lead me to them.”

Escorted personally by the Emperor of Da Li, Li Fan was taken into the Imperial Palace Treasury.

Here, the supplies that He Zhenghao required them to prepare were already neatly laid out, categorized and labelled with the name and quantity of each item.

Li Fan scanned the place with his spiritual consciousness and nodded in satisfaction.

All the required goods were not only all present, but every item exceeded the requisite quantity.

After storing the supplies into the Storage Ring given by He Zhenghao, the mission was completed successfully.

It was a smooth sail, with no hitches.

Excluding the journey, the risk was almost zero.

No wonder He Zhenghao had taken an interest in this; this indeed was an extremely profitable business.

Having handed over the wooden boat inscribed with an array to the Emperor of Da Li, and witnessing the delight on his face, Li Fan suddenly asked, “I wonder if King Zhen Nan of Da Li is present today?”

The Emperor was startled. In the past, Immortals would depart right after collecting the goods. He couldn’t fathom why Li Fan would suddenly enquire about King Zhen Nan today.

Not daring to be neglectful, the Emperor answered nervously, “Respected Immortal, my brother is stationed in the south all year round and is not in the Capital City.”

“However, his son, Xiao Heng, is here.” Fearful of irritating the Immortal, the Emperor quickly added.

Li Fan nodded, aware that Xiao Heng was kept as a hostage in the Capital City, and was not surprised, “Where is he now? Take me to see him!”

The Emperor was clueless about the whereabouts of a mere hostage of King Zhen Nan during his daily life. Unable to provide an answer, he remained stunned on the spot, breaking out in cold sweat from the urgency of the situation.

Fortunately, one of his eunuch guards promptly whispered a reminder, “Your

Majesty, Xiao Heng should be in Scholar Su’s house.”

“The Su Family, huh…” Li Fan’s interest was piqued upon hearing this. Relieved by the guard’s reminder, the Emperor immediately arranged for someone to lead the way.

Before long, Li Fan met Xiao Heng at the Su Family’s residence.

At that time, he was just a child of seven or eight years old. Surrounded by so many unfamiliar faces, his tiny face was filled with unease.

Overlaying the little figure before him with his memory of Xiao Heng’s appearance, Li Fan chuckled lightly.

“I see great potential in this child, he is destined for extraordinary things.” Li Fan suddenly proclaimed.

The people present responded with various expressions, all looking at Xiao Heng, who looked bewildered, unaware of what was happening.

Then, Li Fan lightly touched Xiao Heng’s forehead.

He passed on “The Mysterious Yellow Heart-Purifying Mantra” and the methodology for using the accompanying medicinal herbs to him.

“When I return in ten years, I will personally take him away.” After a sweeping gaze at the people present, Li Fan calmly stated.

At this moment, those who harbored any devious thoughts felt their hearts palpitate in fear and they began to shiver.

Emperor of Da Li naturally understood Li Fan’s underlying warning and promised hastily, “Rest assured, Immortal, I will take good care of him.” Li Fan nodded in satisfaction.

His footing in the Immortal World is currently precarious, and he even planned to explore the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters in two years, making his future uncertain.

He can only impart “The Mysterious Yellow Heart-Purifying Mantra” to Xiao Heng for now, and wait for him to mature before taking him to the Immortal

Cultivation World.

With the affairs of the Rift Realm resolved, Li Fan prepared to leave.

However, suddenly, a childish voice rang out from the crowd. “I beseech the Immortal to save my younger sister!”
