Chapter 164 Laying the True Foundation for a Century

"This simulation has ended."

...

In the familiar yet unfamiliar study, Li Fan stood still, still immersed in the afterglow of "Turning the Sky Palm".

After a long time, he took a deep breath.

Although he killed a Nascent Soul cultivator with the late foundation building cultivation, Li Fan did not feel much pride in his heart.

One reason was that the red-haired Nascent Soul's cultivation was not strong.

More importantly, Li Fan did not rely entirely on his own strength.

He used the [Explosion Method Shocking God Formation] to forcibly increase the power of the move to the Golden Core Realm; and then he activated a bunch of formations to assist.

In the end, Cong Yun's 28 Swords and the Turning the Sky Palm, two major killer moves, came out at the same time.

In the end, he only fought with the opponent to a mutual destruction.

If it weren't for [Huan Zhen], I'm afraid he would have died at this moment.

But then again. If it weren't for [Huan Zhen] as a support, with Li Fan's character, I'm afraid he wouldn't have risked his life and finally realized the turning the sky palm that reversed the situation.

Staring at Huanzhen's options.

Of course, Li Fan chose the second option without a doubt, retaining his cultivation.

While confirming his choice, he concentrated his mind and carefully paid attention to the changes that were about to happen in his body.

When he inherited the late stage of Qi Refining, the immortal miasma in his body dissolved and disappeared silently when his cultivation came.

What Li Fan is curious about now is how Huanzhen will deal with the law of "foundation building requires the wonders of heaven and earth" in this world.

Holding his breath and concentrating his mind, the late stage of foundation building suddenly surged out of his body.

The immortal miasma was like snow falling into water, dissipating without a trace.

The spiritual energy in his body inexplicably emerged, and then the momentum rose steadily.

In a flash, he arrived at the late stage of Qi Refining.

Then, in the Dantian, a small blue bead suddenly appeared without any signs.

It was the Canghai Pearl that should not have come to the world yet!

The root of heaven and earth attached to the Canghai Pearl, transforming the laws in it into Li Fan's Tao foundation.

It's just that this foundation-building process is a hundred or a thousand times faster than Li Fan's own!

In just a moment, the Canghai Pearl disappeared.

A blue ocean phantom lingered in Li Fan's Dantian.

In a moment, Li Fan completed the foundation-building process.

Then the aura on his body continued to rise, and it didn't stop until the late stage of foundation-building.

"It seems that even if I rely on the power of [Return to True] to improve my cultivation. In this world, I have to follow the cultivation laws set by Chuanfa Tianzun step by step."

"Is this the power of [Reverse the Principle of Heaven and Earth]?"

"The essence of the rules of cultivation has been completely changed. If you want to play the game of cultivating immortals, you must follow the set rules."

Li Fan pondered for a moment, recalling the scenes he saw in his previous life, and he seemed to understand something in his heart.

"After Changsheng Tianzun went against the principles of heaven and earth, he was not seen in the world."

"The strong man who combined the Dao suppressed a state, which was the strongest fighting force on the surface."

"Under the combined Dao..."

Thinking of the various gods fighting in the Yuandao State, they were just sacrifices for Lanyu Tianzun to prove the Dao.

Li Fan couldn't help but sigh: "Under the combined Dao, they are all ants."

"God, Yuanying, Jindan, foundation."

"There is no essential difference."

"Only after offering sacrifices to the spirits of heaven and earth and achieving the combined Dao, can you barely enter the eyes of Changsheng Tianzun."

"But..."

"If you don't prove immortality, it will be false."

"Lanyu Tianzun has been lingering for thousands of years, but his time has come."

"Prove immortality..."

"Prove immortality..."

...

Li Fan murmured and repeated these three words, as if he was thinking about something, with a frown on his face.

"If you don't achieve immortality, it will be vain in the end."

"Since you have achieved immortality, so what?"

"At the beginning, the Heavenly Venerable of the Dharma established a new way of cultivation."

"From now on, if you don't follow his way of cultivation, you can't practice."

"But if you really follow his way of cultivation, then even if you really achieve immortality, you will still be under his shadow."

Li Fan seemed to have figured something out, and his face suddenly calmed down.

"In this world, the way of cultivation has been established according to his will."

"If you want to transcend, you have to jump out of the chess game from the beginning."

"But as a chess piece, and the weakest chess piece, how can you jump out of the chess game by yourself?"

"Unless, it's with the help of external things."

"【Huanzhen】..."

Li Fan stared at the 【Huanzhen】 light screen in front of him, his eyes flickering constantly.

"Since I knew that everything in the world can be regarded as a wonder of heaven and earth, I have had the idea of ​​building a foundation with [Huanzhen] as my support."

"For this, I have observed the process of building a foundation thousands of times."

"Two more anchor points have been unlocked."

"Now, it's time to try."

With a decision in mind, Li Fan flew to the top of Jieli Mountain where he first realized the Wuxiang Killing Intent.

He simply made a thatched house and arranged it around to prevent outsiders from entering by mistake.

Afterwards, he sat cross-legged in the house, and with a thought, the reminder of [Huanzhen] popped up at the right time.

"Do you want to set the current time point as the second anchor point?"

Li Fan said without hesitation: "Yes!"

The second anchor fell in response.

"Now, just wait for Huanzhen to finish charging."

"Huanzhen's charging speed has not increased, and it will still take about nine years."

"During this period, I can't be idle."

"I haven't studied He Zhenghao's [Mountain and River Hundred Veins Formation Diagram] much, but I remember Zhang Zhiliang's [Infinite Law] roughly."

"It's a good opportunity to continue to strengthen my attainments in formations."

"It's a pity that this is a great place of immortals. I can only improve my theoretical level, but I can't put the formation into practice."

Li Fan sighed, and then his mind settled in the understanding of the formation.

Nine years passed in a flash.

"It's time!"

Can go back at any time, Li Fan finally has the confidence to start building the foundation of Taoism with [Return to the True] .

At present, the wonder of heaven and earth he built the foundation for is still the Canghai Pearl.

So, the first step is...

breaking the foundation of Taoism.

"Taishang Yuanshi Zhenjing" turned far away, and all his skills were transformed into the essence of cultivation, which was stored in the body.

Afterwards, looking at the ocean phantom between reality and illusion in Dantian, Li Fan hit Dantian with a finger.

Li Fan spit out a large mouthful of blood, and his breath quickly weakened.

And the cloud sea phantom shook violently, and a black crack appeared in the middle.

The ocean phantom became more and more illusory.

Li Fan pointed again.

After three times of this, Cong Yunhai completely disappeared between heaven and earth.

Li Fan was almost dead, his face was pale, and he almost died.

"I used too much force. I should be gentler in the next life."

Li Fan thought to himself.

The internal cultivation was re-refined, and Li Fan's injuries recovered quickly, and he returned to the realm of perfect Qi refining.

"If it weren't for this "Taishang Yuanshi Zhenjing", I would try to build a foundation with [Huanzhen], which would be a hundred times more difficult." The ups and downs of the realm in an instant made Li Fan think so.

Calming down his mind, Li Fan began his first attempt.

Unlike building a foundation with a physical wonder of heaven and earth, [Huanzhen] is in Li Fan's body, but it is invisible and intangible.

It is extremely difficult to sense.

Fortunately, Zhang Haobo's foundation-building wonder was also the invisible and intangible [Tiansha Sword Intention].

Li Fan, who was fortunate enough to witness the whole process, took this as a reference to sense the rules contained in [Huanzhen] in his body.

After a long time, a hazy white light emerged from Li Fan's Dantian.

Then...

Bang!

Li Fan's Dantian exploded.

"Huanzhen!"

Before his consciousness disappeared, Li Fan muttered in his heart.

The light and shadow changed, and he did not return to the original study, but was still in the small thatched house on the top of the mountain.

Naturally, he chose to return to the second anchor point.

He chose to shorten the charging time.

After reducing the charging time by 30%, it only takes six years to complete the charging process.

Li Fan frowned slightly, carefully recalling the process of building the foundation in the previous life, and constantly thinking and comprehending.

Six years passed in a flash.

[Huanzhen] was fully charged, and Li Fan began to try again.

Three fingers broke the foundation.

Although Li Fan's face was still pale this time, he only spit out a small mouthful of blood.

Back to the perfection of Qi Refining, carefully comprehending the rules of [Huanzhen].

This time, the bright white light appeared a little softer.

The situation improved, but it didn't last long.

Bang! Li Fan's Dantian exploded again.

"Zhenzhen!"

Six years later, Li Fan began his third attempt.

The white light representing the rules of [Zhenzhen] was a little gentler.

This time, the duration was longer than the previous two times.

But, it was far from the time when the [Zhenzhen] phantom took shape.

Li Fan's Dantian exploded again.

"Zhenzhen!"

The fourth time.

"Why does the Dantian always explode?" Recalling the process of building the foundation in the previous lives, Li Fan couldn't help but think about it.

The way of cultivation established by Chuanfa Tianzun is the word "stable".

Even if the aptitude is poor, as long as the life span is enough and the conditions are met, the cultivation will definitely succeed.

But Li Fan's current process of building the foundation with [Zhenzhen] is contrary to the way of Chuanfa Tianzun.

"I originally thought that the difficulty of my foundation building would be how to comprehend the invisible and formless Huanzhen."

"But I didn't expect that perhaps because Huanzhen itself is integrated with me, it is not as difficult to comprehend its existence as I imagined."

"On the contrary, it seems that this is incompatible with the way of Tianzun's practice, which caused the explosion of Dantian and became the biggest obstacle to my successful foundation building."

"Perhaps, if this problem can be solved, it will not be long before I can build my foundation with Huanzhen."

Thinking of this, Li Fan's heart was slightly excited.

He started the fourth attempt.

Bang!

The fifth time!

Bang!

The sixth time!

...

Each time represents six years of time.

Although they always failed at the last moment and their Dantian exploded.

But the light of Huanzhen is indeed getting warmer and softer.

Things are developing in a good direction.

Li Fan also strengthened his faith.

In the continuous reincarnation, Li Fan tirelessly repeated the process of foundation building over and over again.

Focus on the task, and forget about everything else.

The tenth time.

The twentieth time.

The thirtieth time.

…

It was not until the fifty-sixth time that Li Fan finally made significant progress.

In the Dantian, the warm white light seemed to have solidified into a solid body, as smooth as jade, pleasing to the eye.

The light no longer changed, but its shape changed.

“Could it be that I’m finally going to succeed?”

Seeing this, Li Fan’s calm mind could not help but ripple.

But obviously, things are not that easy.

This time, the Dantian was intact and did not explode.

However, Li Fan felt that there were tiny worms crawling all over his body, deep in his bones and muscles.

The itchy, numb and painful feeling made Li Fan groan.

And this was just the beginning.

One round piece of meat after another suddenly bulged on Li Fan's body.

Then it seemed to have its own consciousness and kept swimming.

The meat pieces grew bigger and bigger. In a few breaths, they almost became half the size of a head.

With this terrifying blood-colored tumor all over his body, Li Fan looked like an inhuman monster at this moment.

Moreover, this blood-colored tumor was still expanding.

Finally, with a "puff!" sound.

The tumor reached the limit that the Qi-refining body could bear, and it burst like a balloon.

Meat pieces and blood splashed everywhere.

All over the small grass house.

Li Fan was also drenched in his own flesh and blood.

But he was indifferent.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the phantom of Lan Yan emerged.

At the same time, the Xuan Huang Heart Refining Mantra kept running.

Li Fan fell into a state of no worries, no fears, and no fears.

It was just the phantom of [Return] condensed in the Dantian, and he remained calm even though his physical body collapsed.

But the physical body of Qi Refining was weak after all.

Slowly, Li Fan's life breath became vague.

Then it was all going to die.

At the last moment, Li Fan silently chanted [Return] in his heart.

The fifty-seventh time!

Six years later, Li Fan tried again.

The white jade light flower changed its shape as Li Fan's mind and mind comprehended.

The tumors on Li Fan's body rose and fell.

After a long time, he failed again.

The fifty-eighth time.

Failed!

The fifty-ninth time.

Failed!

...

Failure after failure did not weaken Li Fan's determination and faith.

He summed up his experience and lessons and compared each foundation-building process.

I found that I could not hold out as long as I did when I was in a state of ignorance and confusion when I was deliberately manipulating my perception.

"[Huanzhen] is integrated with me. Although I cannot perceive it, my body itself is affected by it in the dark."

"Building the foundation with my own consciousness is much smoother than building the foundation with my own consciousness."

During the 75th foundation building, Li Fan seemed to have some understanding.

Next, it was just as he expected.

The shape of the white jade light ball gradually became regular.

Each attempt was like a pruning, restoring it to its original shape.

...

The 90th time.

When the white jade light ball finally became an elliptical shape, it finally stabilized.

No more tumors appeared on Li Fan's body.

The light flickered, turning from virtual to real.

It seemed to be materialized in the dantian.

But...

Li Fan suddenly had a flash of enlightenment in his mind.

It was still a little short.

It seemed that something suddenly descended into the small thatched house on the top of the Jieli Mountain.

In an instant, Li Fan's hair turned snow-white.

His skin shrank and wrinkled.

His face was covered with terrible ravines and cracks.

His muscles dissolved, leaving only a layer of skin hanging on his skeleton.

He was no longer in human form, and his appearance was horrible.

Li Fan's age was increasing rapidly, and he was afraid that he would die of old age in a moment.

"Really!"

Li Fan did not hesitate.

From the 91st to the 98th time.

Every time Li Fan tried, it was the same.

He was just a little short of successfully building a foundation with [Really].

The 99th time, he returned to the top of the Dissociation Mountain.

"Where exactly was the difference?"

Li Fan frowned slightly.

He knew that at this time, he was just a hair's breadth away from success.

But it was not something that could be solved by a simple attempt.

He needed that moment of epiphany to find out where the problem was.

Li Fan had a hunch that the answer should be very simple.

There was a layer of window paper between him and it, and it would break with a poke.

But now, Li Fan was in the mountain, and he didn't know the true face.

Unable to find the correct answer.

Li Fan thought while floating down the mountain.

He wandered in the world, seeking his own answer.

At the same time, he also observed for the first time this Daxuan who was not under his influence.

Anchored for 5 years, there was a severe drought in Jiangnan.

A group of refugees attacked the Langya Palace.

The Langya Palace suffered heavy losses.

Except for the Langya King who escaped from the dog hole and saved his life.

The rest of the palace was slaughtered by refugees.

The news spread, and the court and the public were shocked.

The emperor was furious and ordered the army to kill the refugees.

At the same time, he summoned the Langya King to the capital and comforted him carefully.

From then on, the Langya King stayed in the capital.

Anchored for 15 years.

The emperor suddenly fell ill.

Before his death, he summoned the Langya King to the palace and passed the throne to him.

The Langya King succeeded to the throne and changed the reign title to Xuanjing.

Anchored for 16 years, large and small rebellions occurred in various places at the same time.

Emperor Xuan Jing appointed his confidant as the General Zhenwei, and led the army to quell the rebellion.

It took General Zhenwei three years to finally put down the rebellions in various places.

He returned to the court in glory.

Emperor Xuan Jing ordered all officials to welcome him from outside the capital, and to greet him with imperial etiquette.

General Zhenwei was arrogant and accepted it calmly.

He did not dismount when he saw the officials, and did not kneel when he met the emperor.

Emperor Xuan Jing had no strange expression on his face, and took him into the palace with his hand.

He was entertained with a grand banquet.

After three rounds of wine, all officials quietly retreated.

Dozens of swordsmen and axemen poured in.

The drunken General Zhenwei was awakened and questioned Emperor Xuanjing.

Emperor Xuanjing was silent.

Under the siege of the swordsmen, although General Zhenwei was brave and unparalleled, he was also covered with sword wounds.

He was dying.

Before he died, he pointed at Emperor Xuanjing and said bitterly: "If I come again, I will definitely lead the army to flatten Xuanjing and use your head as a wine pot to relieve my hatred!"

Then he died under the sword.

…

Time seemed to stop at this moment.

Li Fan, who had been watching silently, showed up at this time.

His eyes were bright and he suddenly realized.

"There is no time for the world to come again."

"There is no time for this world to come again."

"But I do."

"My [Real]... "

"It is even beyond the world."

In an instant, the surrounding scenery became illusory, and Li Fan returned to the top of Lili Mountain.

Li Fan exhaled [Real] again.

"When the truth becomes false, the false becomes true..."

"The false becomes true..."

He stared at the seven characters generated by [Huanzhen], his mind clear.

"I will build the foundation of Taoism with the rules of [Huanzhen] in this world!"

It came naturally, without any obstruction.

A ball of white jade light appeared in Dantian in an instant.

The third anchor fell in response.
