第二百三十七章 自在悟极意

The key factor was the development of techniques to harness the body's hidden secrets. The speed of cultivation could not compare to the path of immortals taught by Immortal Sages.

Li Fan reviewed the information in these books and found that developing such techniques became increasingly difficult after reaching a威能 level comparable to the Golden Core Realm. It seemed as if an invisible constraint had been placed on him, requiring immense sacrifices for even minor progress.

The gains from cultivation with the same effort were far greater than those from developing body secrets.

Moreover, Immortal Techniques could tap into the laws of nature and their power was incomparable to mere human strength.

What good did rebirth by dripping blood offer when compared to the immortality of the Golden Core Realm?

In summary, according to many cultivators' research, there might be special methods to counterbalance the path of cultivation, but this required being outside the Xuanhuang World's environment.

"Just like how firearms and gunpowder are suppressed in this world. The development of body secrets is no exception."

Previously, Li Fan had experimented with bringing fire guns from Great Xuan into the cultivation realm, where their explosive power was reduced to just one percent.

What once were lethal weapons instantly turned into toys for children.

Sure enough, as Cao Hong said, they became mere scrap metal.

"The Xuanhuang World is an immortal's domain."

"External forces beyond immortality will be suppressed to varying degrees."

"It’s like the Heavenly Dao consciously rejecting foreign influences."

Drawing from his previous experiences, Li Fan concluded this.

However, he had already suspected this beforehand. He wasn't surprised now.

"Though lacking in successors, it should suffice to help Tianyang break through."

"But relying solely on body secrets, achieving Golden Core status within six years for a commoner..."

"Still falls short."

"Transform into something else..."

"Establish my foundation with me..."

Li Fan pondered these possibilities in his mind.

In truth, the ancient technique of transforming one's body [身化他自在] was almost identical to today’s "fabricating a false world to establish my foundation." Both relied on external forces to nourish oneself.

On Yin Island, Elder Yin had once spoken about the possibility of establishing one's foundation with oneself.

This made Li Fan wonder if he could transform into himself.

Separate his consciousness from his body completely.

First treat his own body as an external object, then gradually merge it back in.

Transforming into something else and reaching the ultimate level would mean merging with that thing.

If this transformation could be applied to oneself, achieving the ultimate level might mean full control over one's body.

This was almost identical to establishing a foundation with oneself.

When a cultivator fully masters their own body, they can tap into its infinite potential.

How terrifying would such power be?

This was Li Fan’s plan for breaking through. If successful in the simulated world, he could replicate it in reality.

Of course, this would require extremely high difficulty.

Li Fan wasn't someone with exceptional talent; he couldn’t achieve his goal in a rush.

Only through repeated trials could he eventually succeed.

Fortunately, [Truly Real] gave Li Fan enough resources to experiment without worrying about consequences.

"In the real world, use my avatar to practice body secrets."

"Accumulate experience. Once I feel confident, start using the simulated world on Tianyang."

With a plan in mind, his idle avatar immediately took action.

Meanwhile, Li Fan’s main self practiced cultivation, studied阵法, and read the《Heavenly Medicine Scripture》while holding the second Dao Stone, absorbing its mysterious energy to strengthen his blue crystal in the识海.

Feeling that he had reached the limit of his current mental capacity without affecting efficiency, Li Fan decided not to split his consciousness further. Doing so would inevitably slow down his thoughts and was not worth it.

He could only wait until his divine sense grew stronger before solving this problem at its source.

Clearing his mind, Li Fan fully immersed himself in cultivation.

Time passed as the anchor of fifteen years set in.

On the deserted island, Ye Feipeng, defeated by Vast Abyss's Water Dragon Roar, was frustrated. He left everyone behind and went to the beach, staring at the endless sea, plotting.

"Keep going like this, not only will I fall behind Tianyang, but even Su Xiaomei might surpass me."

"And that Zhang Haobo as well."

"He is indeed a character from another life who achieved Oneness with Dao. I thought his fate was sealed after my luck was stolen."

"I didn't expect him to attract the old fool's attention and regain his path to immortality."

"Hmph, if I had known this earlier, I should have been more ruthless and killed him outright."

"Then I wouldn’t be so affected by seeing him now."

"But fortunately, this treasure won't benefit you in this life."

Ye Feipeng subconsciously touched his chest.

There, a pale blue transparent droplet continuously absorbed pure water attributes from the surroundings, enhancing his cultivation.

He knew that this blue droplet was the Sea Pearl.

In his previous life, with its help, Zhang Haobo had successfully cut through the Fiery Red Flame and achieved Oneness with Dao.

In this life, he followed Zhang's path, constantly pursuing and defusing wind disasters to gain the attention of Vast Cloudy Seas.

After relentless effort, he finally succeeded. But he couldn't be happy about it.

"With such a treasure aiding me, my cultivation speed still lags behind those freaks on the island. Does this mean I am truly so unworthy?"

The fat man grew angrier and deeper into self-doubt as he thought.

After some time, he took a deep breath and consoled himself: "Stay calm."

"Slower cultivation speed? So what? My greatest advantage is being a reborn with foresight."

Looking up at the distant sky, Ye Feipeng's eyes flashed.

"The煞剑 intent..."

"The constant premonitions from the Sea Pearl should be related to this."

"But I feel it’s extremely dangerous and can’t decide whether to investigate further..."

"Enough! I must act!"

Determined, Ye Feipeng's eyes gleamed as he moved with unnatural speed, like a ghost, riding the waves.

In an instant, he left the deserted island.
