Bright Moon Palace.
Unaware of the impending danger, Li Fan looked at the message sent by Kou Hong and chuckled.
"Brother Li Fan, you don't know how unlucky Dao Xuanzi and I have been in recent years!"
"Last time, we went through hardships to reach Cangwu State. We had just arrived when news spread that the Fire Meteor had been found."
"We didn't even get a glimpse of it and had to return empty-handed."
"This time, Dao Xuanzi and I ventured deep into the remote Bai Shi Cave Heaven on the border of Shilin State. We almost risked our lives to find a manual."
"Believe it or not, it turned out to be a true Nascent Soul cultivation technique!"
"I was thrilled at first, but upon closer inspection, someone was already practicing this cultivation technique!"
"I checked and found out it was on sale in the Celestial Mirror!"
"I almost spit out blood!"
"Dao Xuanzi and I didn't even dare to look at the contents of the technique, fearing that the Law Enforcement Hall would come after us!"
"I don't know if we're lucky or unlucky!"
...
"Bai Shi Cave Heaven..." Without replying to Kou Hong, Li Fan whispered to himself, putting away the communication charm and opening the interface of the True Moon.
Name: Li Fan
Cultivation Realm: Foundation Establishment Late Stage
Physiological Age: 71/399
Mental Age: 591/3669↑
Virtualization Progress: 200%
Anchor Establishment Progress: 2%
Current Anchor Points: 1
Current Available Anchor Slots: 2
With the assistance of "Establishing the Foundation on the Dao," cultivation progress was unexpectedly fast. At the age of only 71, Li Fan had already broken through to Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
Amidst the growing unease, Li Fan had been converting the contribution points of the Bright Moon Palace into tangible benefits over the years.
First, he exchanged for eight unique items, unlocking the second anchor point of the True Moon.
However, when trying to unlock the third anchor point, Li Fan discovered that the effectiveness of the celestial items had become negligible.
A single celestial item could only increase progress by 1%. Unfortunately, Li Fan lacked the authority to exchange for earthly items.
Otherwise, with the current abundance of contribution points, he could try the effectiveness of earthly items.
The permissions in the Celestial Mirror were related to holding a position within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, such as guarding islands or cities and achieving certain merits.
It operated as a parallel system alongside contribution points.
Li Fan remembered that recommending a cultivator to join the alliance would not only earn contribution points but also merits.
Recommending a Qi Refining Initial Stage cultivator earned a medium merit.
Recommending a Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator earned a high merit.
However, how these merits were converted into authority within the system was unknown to Li Fan, who was not part of the system.
Besides exchanging celestial items, Li Fan also exchanged large quantities of another item.
Arriving at the side of the Heart-Ape Bewilderment Formation and looking at the large amount of white mist floating around the formation, Li Fan smiled.
These white mists emitted a palpable aura, making people subconsciously want to stay away.
A web woven from golden light firmly locked these white mists in place beside the Heart-Ape Bewilderment Formation.
"The Devouring Elemental Mists, forming the Bewildering Spirit Array. The Devouring Spirit Array."
"The ability to consume vitality from the mist is significantly enhanced. Even if the opponent is a Harmonious Dao cultivator, it should be able to resist for a moment."
"Unless the opponent is determined to risk their vitality being devoured and kill me."
"However, it's only two million contribution points, not fleecing someone. There shouldn't be such deep enmity."
Thinking about it, Li Fan still felt a bit uneasy.
"Maybe I'll encounter one or two short-sighted people who can't stand others getting rich. No, I still need to make more preparations."
"When a powerful being takes action, they will inevitably seal space. We won't be able to escape through random teleportation."
"I have to see if there are any good solutions."
...
While Li Fan was racking his brains, contemplating foolproof escape strategies, Yin Yuetin and Yin Yuzhen, the two sisters, had completely different expressions.
"Sister, you said you've recently had a premonition of a great auspicious event. Is it true? Why do I always feel a bit uneasy?" Yin Yuetin asked with a puzzled expression, doubting her sister's innate talent for the first time.
"It's not just me; even Little Sister and Xiao Heng feel the same." Yin Yuetin frowned as she spoke.
Yin Yuzhen, on the other hand, was unswayed and said seriously, "It's true, sister! A huge, huge auspicious event! I've never had such a strong premonition since I was born! There must be something big about to happen!"
She said with conviction, using her hands to emphasize the point, "From birth until now, I've never had such a strong premonition! There must be a very, very big good thing about to happen!"
She said it with great certainty.
Seeing her sister so confident, Yin Yuetin finally let go of her worries.
She subconsciously touched the silver square necklace she wore on her chest.
"With this randomly teleporting necklace distributed by the seniors, even if we encounter any disasters, we should be able to save our lives."
Yin Yuetin could only comfort herself in this way.
...
By the side of the Bright Moon Lake.
Although the Bright Moon Palace had stopped the realm-crossing operation for some time, there were still a small number of cultivators gathered here.
They were waiting for the resumption of the realm-crossing operation, hoping to seize the opportunity.
On this day, the cultivators were chatting, discussing the current situation in the Source Dao State.
After nearly seven years of intense slaughter, the large-scale battle between the Blue Feather and Raging Feather factions was finally coming to an end.
Both sides had suffered heavy losses, reaching a point where it was difficult to maintain their positions.
Despite several negotiations, they had not been able to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement.
"What's that?" A cultivator gazing into the distance suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone turned to look.
In the sky, a thin silver line descended from the heavens, touching the ground.
In an instant, it encircled the entire Bright Moon Lake.
Like a shackle, it bound the eight-hundred-li Bright Moon Lake.
Witnessing this strange scene, the vigilant cultivators sensed something was amiss and immediately fled.
However, most of them were still stunned, unsure of what to do.
After the silver threads surrounded them, they emitted a faint glow.
Then, as if pulled upward by an invisible force!
In an instant, the earth violently shook.
Within the churning lake water.
The cultivators, dumbfounded, watched as the vast Bright Moon Lake was lifted into the air.
Not just the lake water, but also the soil and rocks beneath the lake, and even the Bright Moon Palace constructed at the lake bottom.
All were pulled together, soaring higher and higher.
At this moment, it
wasn't just Bright Moon Lake.
Throughout the Source Dao State, countless cultivators witnessed a scene that would be unforgettable for a lifetime.
In various regions of the Source Dao State, lakes, mountain peaks, and cities were suspended by dozens of thin threads descending from the sky.
Continuously being drawn, they ascended into the high sky.
