Chapter 220: Six Desires Without Form Technique (2k+words)

Through creating Daoists and engaging in battles with other characters, Li Fan sought a method to defeat Zhan Qianmo.

This was just one of Li Fan's many attempts. Anyway, he wasn't lacking in contribution points at the moment, so trying it out casually wouldn't hurt even if he failed.

"If it doesn't work, I'll have to wait until I break through the Golden Core stage and directly capture him using the Insect Binding Technique."

Li Fan silently contemplated. Temporarily putting this matter aside, he took out a deep blue stone from his storage ring and gently caressed it.

It was the Dao-transforming Stone obtained from the Tian Lock Treasure Box in Yi Xing's grave in this life.

In the previous life, he couldn't remember the unlocking method for the Tian Lock Treasure Box. However, in this life, when he asked the Tianxuan Mirror for help in cracking it, Li Fan, who had already mastered the "Dao-transforming God One" secret technique, easily memorized the correct sequence of the 49,999 sheets of paper.

"The next time, I won't need to trouble the Tianxuan Mirror. I can save some contribution points too."

Li Fan touched the Dao-transforming Stone with his divine sense, and in an instant, the deep blue radiance flickered slightly.

Threads of energy flowed out from the Dao-transforming Stone, absorbed by Li Fan's divine sense. The blue crystal in his mind's sea of consciousness also seemed to become even more profound.

"These two Dao-transforming Stones are originally one. Although they won't automatically merge like natural treasures of heaven and earth, I can slowly absorb them using the 'Dao-transforming God One' secret technique. In the end, they will merge with the one in my sea of consciousness."

"Now, Dao-transforming Stones are hard to come by. The one in my mind is only of low quality. It's not considered very rare."

"But every time I go through a reincarnation, I can have one more low-quality Dao-transforming Stone to absorb."

"Even if the effect of one or two stones isn't that great, what if it's hundreds or thousands?"

"Quantitative change can lead to qualitative change."

"Even in the end, restoring the original 'Dao-transforming Stone Mother' of the Tai Yan Sect might not be impossible."

Thinking of this, a strange color appeared in Li Fan's eyes.

"The only limitation is that my divine sense is still too weak at the moment. The absorption and transformation efficiency is too slow."

"To enhance my divine sense, the Tianxuan Mirror still can't find any results."

"I still have to rely on the Meteor Immortal Realm."

The reason Li Fan was eager to change locations in the Meteor Immortal Realm was because the method of enhancing his divine sense, which seemed to be effective only the first time when absorbing the body of Zi Xiao Sect's Li Chen, couldn't be replicated in subsequent deaths.

"I still can't be impatient; I need to take it step by step." Li Fan sighed slightly.

Multitasking, Li Fan simultaneously practiced the "Sitting Mountain Technique" while absorbing the Dao-transforming Stone.

Time quietly passed.

Soon, it was the eleventh year since anchoring, the day when the Cloud, Water, and Sky Palace opened.

Li Fan's main body did not move and continued to cultivate diligently within the Tianxuan Mirror.

He only had his clone go on a trip, and from Qin Tang's place, he obtained a Yuan Infant technique called "Six Desires Without Form."

It could stimulate the six inherent desires of humans: joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, and hatred, transforming them into six different divine abilities.

"Indeed, as the chief of the Transmission Hall, Qin Senior Brother's treasures are truly inexhaustible no matter how one searches."

"Now, Su Junior Sister also has a technique."

"Unfortunately, learning the Cloud Water Mirage Dream technique from Tianyi, I dare not go wool-picking again, knowing the example of Tianyi. If this already strange Senior Brother Qin perceives that something is amiss, I might be forced to return it again."

Li Fan shook his head regretfully. Thinking of Su Xiaomei and the others, he shifted his focus to the deserted island.

He had already locked onto Ye Feipeng and Xiao Heng with the No-Phase Killing Mechanism.

Now, shifting his attention, Li Fan noticed that over a year had passed, and Xiao Heng had reached the mid Foundation Building stage. It seemed that he was not far from breaking through to the late Foundation Building stage.

On the other hand, Ye Feipeng's cultivation progress was slightly slower. It seemed he had just broken through to the mid Foundation Building stage, and his aura was still a bit unstable.

At the moment, the two were engaged in a sparring match.

Xiao Heng could now summon nineteen Divine Sword of the Calming Sea. The blue water swords flew up and down, resembling flying dragons roaring towards Ye Feipeng.

However, Ye Feipeng remained calm and composed, his figure elusive and unpredictable. He easily dodged each attack of the water swords.

Every step he took generated a silent water blade flying towards Xiao Heng.

However, each time the water blade got close to Xiao Heng, it was blocked by suddenly appearing water swords.

Undeterred, Ye Feipeng continued to approach Xiao Heng.

Slowly, when he was just a yard away from Xiao Heng, with a triumphant smile on his face, he suddenly realized that he had been surrounded by the nineteen Divine Sword of the Calming Sea without knowing when!

No matter how good his body movements were, he couldn't escape now!

"I surrender!" Ye Feipeng made a quick decision and shouted loudly.

Xiao Heng smiled slightly, and the Divine Sword of the Calming Sea whistled past, cutting off a strand of Ye Feipeng's hair.

"Fatty, you need to put in more effort. With the hair I've collected here, it's enough to dress you up as a big girl!" Xiao Heng said with a smile.

"What are you so proud of? One day, I'll beat you up thoroughly." Ye Feipeng snorted coldly, took a few steps, and fled.

Arriving at the beach, Ye Feipeng thought to himself, "No, staying on this deserted island for cultivation, I will always be overshadowed by that kid."

"It really humiliates the name of a reborn person."

"I remember it's about next year when Zhang Haobo suddenly rises. In just a short year, he transformed from an ordinary person into a mid Foundation Building cultivator."

"Although I don't know what happened in this, it doesn't prevent me from intercepting him."

"Appropriate his opportunities for myself."

"And the year after that, the Tianyang Cave Mansion will open. Although that Tianyang is actually a puppet for refining gods, as long as I successfully slip away before it reveals its complete form, there should be no problem."

"Well, it's a bit difficult for me alone. I need to find a way to bring Xiao Heng along and let him block those guarding puppets. With my speed, I should be able to go in, sweep through, and then retreat safely."

With these thoughts, Ye Feipeng wrote down the names Zhang Haobo and Tianyang on the beach with his feet, a hopeful expression on his face.

Then he used his foot to erase the words.

...

In the Tianxuan Mirror, watching this scene, Li Fan smiled.

"Sure enough, he wants to snatch Zhang Haobo's opportunities. It's okay; I've already made arrangements."

"Let's see if, in this life, Ye Feipeng can attract the attention of the consciousness of the Sea of Clouds and bear half of the Canghai Pearl."

Shifting his focus from the deserted island, Li Fan checked the messages he had received and couldn't help but feel a bit amused.

"Friend, the Li Qianmo you created is too much. Not only can he be resurrected, but his strength can also become stronger after resurrection? It's really outrageous!"

"I have already reported to the Tianxuan Mirror. There must be something wrong. How can a Foundation Building cultivator have such an absurd combat power?"

"Could you please disclose the prototype of this Li Qianmo? I am willing to buy this information from you with five hundred contribution points!"

...

These messages were sent by cultivators who had failed against Zhan Qianmo in battle.

Li Fan glanced at Zhan Qianmo's recent record. Eight wins, one draw.

The victories were self-explanatory, as he basically crushed the opponents after the rebirth.

But that draw was interesting.

Against the other party, although not strong, the defense was outstanding, reaching an absurd level. The entire body was surrounded by a shield like a tortoise shell, and no matter what Zhan Qianmo did, he couldn't break through.

Even the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder, when it struck the tortoise shell, only left a black mark, and with a smirk from the cultivator, the mark returned to its original state.

When Li Fan looked at the name of the cultivator, he couldn't help but feel speechless.

"E Xinren..."

Immediately, he blocked this cultivator, permanently rejecting his requests for battle.

After blocking others, the refreshed Li Fan suddenly received a communication prompt.

Upon opening it, he found that it was a message from the Array Master Zhang Zhiliang.

It turned out that their group had finally completed the research on the Wanshan Rivers and Mountains Formation.

They returned to the Array Formation Hall.

Since Li Fan started working, he had only met Zhang Zhiliang once on that island.

This time, Zhang Zhiliang asked Li Fan to come to the Array Formation Hall for an assessment of his formation skills. Based on the results, they would arrange subsequent tasks.

Without delay, Li Fan changed into a black and yellow Daoist robe and arrived at the Array Formation Hall.

Zhang Zhiliang was already waiting.

Apart from Zhang Zhiliang, there was another unfamiliar Foundation Building cultivator.

It seemed that, like Li Fan, both of them held the position of formation maintenance personnel.

After exchanging greetings with the two, Li Fan stood silently aside.

Zhang Zhiliang gestured for Li Fan to wait for a moment.

Later, three more Foundation Building cultivators arrived one after another.

When the five people were gathered, Zhang Zhiliang handed each of them a spiritual perception sphere and said, "Let's test your formation skills first, see if you have been slacking off during this period."

Li Fan received the black sphere, skillfully sent a strand of divine sense into it, and began answering the questions.

These were familiar faces, and Li Fan quickly completed the test.

The other four were still immersed in the spiritual perception spheres.

Zhang Zhiliang took back the spheres, showing a satisfied expression. "Not bad."

When the other four finished the test, he frowned and said to one of them, "Sun Ling, among the five of you, you rank third in performance, but I still have to dismiss you. Do you know why?"

The cultivator named Sun Ling turned pale.

He opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to defend himself, but in the end, he didn't say anything. He replied bitterly, "I know. In this period, I neglected the study of formations, and my skills are still at the level of three years ago..."

Zhang Zhiliang waved his hand. "Knowing is enough. You may leave!"

Sun Ling bowed, saluted, and left dejectedly.

Seeing this, the remaining four cultivators all had solemn expressions.

"Alright, don't be nervous. You are all doing well."

Zhang Zhiliang smiled and said, "Due to special reasons, I haven't taught you for a long time."

"Coincidentally, the protective formation of Haitong Island was attacked recently and suffered serious damage, requiring repairs."

"You will come with me to repair it."

"Take this opportunity, and I will explain to you the construction and repair requirements of large-scale formations."

The other three nodded in agreement.

Li Fan, on the other hand, was intrigued and asked, "Master Zhang, I remember that Haitong Island is located on the northern border of the Sea of Clouds, near Yongliang Prefecture."

"Why was it suddenly attacked? Could it be the work of the Five Elders' association?"

Zhang Zhiliang nodded. "It was indeed a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Five Elders' association who attacked."

"However, this matter is our fault at the Wanxian Alliance, so we can only acknowledge it."

Li Fan wondered, "Why are we at fault? What happened?"

Zhang Zhiliang sighed, "It's because of Jiang Zhengji from the Combat Hall."

"He said he was chasing some scammer and followed him all the way to Yongliang Prefecture."

"As a result, he didn't find the person, but instead was discovered by the people from the Five Elders' association."

"Jiang Zhengji and Du Xingchang, these two individuals, are quite skilled."

"Working together, they managed to escape from the encirclement and pursuit of a Nascent Soul and five or six Golden Core cultivators."
