Chapter 447: Reestablishing Oneself and Becoming a Taoist
Anchored for 9 years, Tianyang Cave Mansion has not yet been born.
Hidden deep inside the dormant submarine volcano, unknown to outsiders.
Li Fan spent a lot of effort to determine the location of the cave mansion based on the [Earth Fire Return to Origin Formation] obtained from Tianyang's memories.
After activating several protective talismans, Li Fan carefully sneaked into the cave mansion.
At present, Tianyang Zhenren is in a strange state of dying.
From the eternal memories, Li Fan learned.
At the beginning, except Tianyang, all the others went to participate in the war in ancient times and never came back.
But Tianyang himself firmly believed that his master and senior brothers would definitely come back.
Fearing that they would not find him when they returned, Tianyang stayed in the cave mansion and refused to go out.
Unexpectedly, the cave mansion was broken into by outsiders a few years later. Tianyang wanted to resist, but he was no match.
He only relied on the magic weapon left by his senior brothers before leaving to save his life.
After that, the young Tianyang began his wandering life in the world of immortal cultivation.
And he also slowly understood in his struggle that his aptitude was not as gifted as his senior brothers said, that he was the hope of the revival of the body-transforming Tao.
Not to mention being on par with his senior brothers, he was afraid that he could not even compare with ordinary Jindan cultivators.
But even so, the master and senior brothers still left the last hope of life to him.
Every time he thought of what they had said to him, "Tianyang, your aptitude is not inferior to anyone in the world. Get well soon, the body-transforming Tao still depends on you" and so on.
Looking back now, he can't even keep his master's cave.
Tianyang's heart was full of hatred for his own incompetence.
But the facts are not transferred by people's emotions.
Tianyang estimated that if he had no other adventures in this body, he might have reached the limit of the Jindan stage.
In order to live up to the trust of his master and senior brothers, Tianyang decided to go all out and adopt the method of abandoning his physical body and completely transforming into a puppet to change his fate against the will of heaven.
And the rest of his life was spent preparing for this.
Find a suitable place to set up the [Earth Fire Returning Origin Formation], collect materials, and refine puppets...
When everything was ready, Tianyang resolutely completed the transformation into a puppet.
After that, he slept in the depths of the earth veins, hoping to use the power of the earth fire to temper the puppet and upgrade it.
If nothing unexpected happens, Tianyang will complete the transformation within five hundred years at most.
Promoted to a powerful existence whose power is not inferior to that of the Immortal Lord of Transformation.
But unfortunately...
Things did not go as planned.
In five hundred years, dragons and snakes emerged from the land, and mountains turned into seas.
The changes in the earth veins caused the effectiveness of the Earth Fire Returning Origin Formation to be greatly reduced, and the materials that Tianyang used to refine the puppet were just ordinary materials.
This also caused the promotion process of Tianyang's puppet to be abnormally slow.
From the scheduled five hundred years, it suddenly became thousands of years.
Over the long years, even in sleep, Tianyang's consciousness was slowly wearing away.
Having lost most of his subjective ideas, only the obsession of "Tianyang is not inferior to others in his life" remains in the world.
Li Fan guessed that it might be the [Tianyang Palm] that turned the Congyun Mountains into a sea of clouds that led to the failure of Tianyang's plan.
"Tianyang is unlucky in his life..." Li Fan shook his head and came to the square outside the cave.
After carefully observing for a moment, his figure was like a ghost, and Li Fan turned into a thin line, winding and passing safely.
Without triggering the mechanism, Li Fan successfully came to the depths of the cave.
There, a child-sized corpse sat upright.
In real history, because Tianyang's congenital deficiency had not been made up, he always maintained the size of his body when he was young.
Li Fan was on guard and slowly approached.
Suddenly, a creaking sound came from the ground.
Li Fan's heart moved slightly, and his figure retreated violently.
Then, seventeen black and red puppets followed and killed out.
Li Fan activated the Dao-transforming technique and shouted loudly, "Junior brother, don't you recognize me?"
The mechanical puppets ignored him and attacked without mercy.
They all attacked Li Fan.
Fortunately, they have the characteristic of "weak when facing the weak and strong when facing the strong".
A sword light forced the puppets back, and Li Fan wandered in the gaps between the puppets, constantly calling Tianyang's name loudly.
Slowly, the movements of the mechanical puppets became a little hesitant.
At this time, Li Fan took out another projection stone and projected Ling Xiao's posthumous work in the air.
Now, the mechanical puppets gradually stopped attacking.
Looking up at the text screen in the air.
"Second..."
"Senior...Brother?"
A slightly dull composite mechanical sound sounded.
Li Fan laughed and said, "Junior brother, I haven't seen you for a thousand years. I hope you are well!"
"Second...Brother!"
Bang!
Cracks appeared on the bodies of the seventeen puppets, and then they all shattered like broken porcelain.
The debris on the ground dissolved and squirmed, eventually forming a small Tianyang puppet.
He flew to Li Fan and looked at Li Fan with his head tilted.
Tianyang was a little confused looking at the man who seemed to have become a little strange.
Li Fan patted Tianyang on the shoulder: "Let's go, Senior Brother will take you home!"
Tianyang puppet was stunned.
A roar came from the depths of the sea, and the big body kept shaking, as if something was about to break out of the ground.
Li Fan laughed: "Junior Brother, don't be so excited. In this era, there are still many bad people outside."
"It will be bad if others find out."
It was as if he was understanding the meaning of Li Fan's words.
After a long time, the puppet nodded.
In an instant, the seabed became quiet again.
With Li Fan's help, it took Tianyang three days to take out all the broken body components buried deep in the ground.
He merged into one again and followed Li Fan quietly.
Li Fan used a secret technique to cover up the auras of the two of them.
He also brought the remains of Tianyang with eternal memories in the cave.
The two of them traveled quickly and arrived at the unknown desert island where everyone who had left the world in their previous life lived.
After spending more than ten days, Li Fan simply opened a cave according to the appearance of the Taoist sect.
After setting up the concealment and protective magic circle, Li Fan looked at Tianyang and said: "Junior brother, just wait for me here. I will come back as soon as I go."
Tianyang nodded obediently.
After Li Fan left, he came to his original room and sat down quietly.
In the Tianxuan Mirror.
"Awakening Tianyang a few years ago still has some disadvantages."
"It has not been completely tempered successfully. It is still a little far from reaching the peak of becoming a god."
"But I can help him complete it."
After some searching and research, as every rare material was purchased, the contribution points were spent like water.
Two days later, Li Fan returned to the unknown island with supplies filled with several storage rings.
"Grey Black Diamond, Fuliu Black Stone, Red Spirit Copper..."
"Junior brother, these are things your body can absorb and use to strengthen itself."
"As for you, just stay in this [Returning Formation]. It will help you temper..."
Li Fan carefully guided Tianyang.
Tianyang also listened carefully.
