第二百五十章 真正的恐惧

He Xinxin clearly knew the value of things.

She softly thanked Uncle, smiling as she took away the array flag.

Looking at the two people, He Zhenghao, who was extremely worried about his daughter, couldn't help but speak up: "Haha, although your friend's gift is valuable, for my little girl, it might not be very useful."

"If we talk about predicting crises and protecting one’s life, my little girl is much stronger than her old father."

Li Fan's gaze flickered as he heard this.

"Oh? How so?"

He Zhenghao revealed a hint of pride on his face: "I won't hide from you. My little girl has shown astonishing talent in the derivation and calculation art since she was young."

"Over these years, she has been learning related techniques under her mother's guidance."

"Now she has made some progress."

"She can shield the fate, preventing others from calculating to harm her."

"Moreover, she can vaguely predict future scenes, turning misfortunes into blessings."

Li Fan re-examined He Xinxin, who seemed very gentle and quiet. He thought deeply.

"Shielding the fate? Could it be that the disappearance of the formless killing mechanism's monitoring function is due to her?"

"It seems He Zhenghao isn't exaggerating; this technique is truly remarkable."

"I wonder what kind of technique she practices."

However, in this world, cultivation techniques were extremely private matters. Li Fan wouldn’t ask rashly.

Instead, he nodded in surprise and disbelief: "I've only heard that fate is hard to question. I didn’t expect Xinxin could predict the fate? Is it really so mysterious?"

"This is true; her accuracy is very high..."

He Zhenghao paused, saying: "But there are times when she makes mistakes."

He looked at He Xinxin and smiled: "When she was practicing before, she sensed something and said I would die soon."

"Thus, she was extremely anxious. That's why she traveled all the way to this Cunyun Sea to warn me and visit me."

"Haha, I spend my days in this mountain star array, focusing on cultivation. How could I possibly face a risk of death?"

He Zhenghao chuckled, not taking it seriously.

Beside him, He Xinxin frowned as she softly said: "This is strange; the previous sense was definitely correct."

"But after coming here, I re-calculated for you. The fatal crisis has somehow disappeared."

Her eyes were filled with confusion and regret: "I don’t know why this happened. If Mother hadn't stopped me, I could have come earlier to figure out where the change in fate lies."

He Zhenghao patted his daughter's head and comforted her: "Fate is unpredictable; cultivators can't know everything. You must have misunderstood something, Xinxin."

Li Fan then praised him: "Even if it occasionally makes mistakes, this technique is extremely powerful."

"Predicting the future, gaining insight ahead of time—how many advantages does that bring?"

"Can you calculate my future for me, Xinxin? How will I fare in the future?"

Li Fan asked with a smile.

He did so to see how far this world's derivation and calculation techniques could go. Could they predict his origin from the small world? Could they deduce he had actually come through a dimensional rift? Even more importantly, could they determine if there was something called "Zhenhuan"?

If this little girl at the foundation stage could sense some clues, Li Fan would have to be even more careful in the future. Otherwise, he might be directly calculated by powerful beings.

He couldn't hide well enough; he wouldn’t know what hit him.

That would be very troublesome.

He Zhenghao wanted his daughter to show her skills before Li Fan, so he didn't stop her. Instead, he looked at He Xinxin encouragingly.

"Since that's the case, Xinxin, please bear with me," He Xinxin said softly as a golden and purple compass appeared out of nowhere.

The pointer pointed towards both Li Fan and herself.

She muttered something, and the pointer began to spin rapidly.

Li Fan’s miniature figure appeared above the compass.

Characters floated from the compass, swirling around his image.

The pointer spun faster, and the characters swirled more distinctly.

Some faded away while others grew brighter, emitting a purple-golden glow.

Unlike words, each seemed to be a combination of meanings.

He Xinxin's prediction about Li Fan’s future was hidden in these character combinations.

Li Fan estimated that there were at least ten thousand such characters.

He Xinxin seemed exhausted as sweat dripped from her forehead.

After a while, the purple-golden characters dispersed and returned to the compass.

Li Fan's image became more solid.

He Xinxin’s breathing was rapid.

She took a moment to calm down before continuing to focus on Li Fan’s image for the final calculation.

"Ah?"

"Do you Uncle have ever been to Source Dao State?"

After waiting for a long time, she suddenly asked an unexpected question.

Li Fan was slightly taken aback and hadn't replied yet when He Zhenghao抢先说道: "Haha, before, Li Fan friend was a wandering cultivator in Source Dao State. To seek breakthrough opportunities, he came to this Cunyun Sea."

"Why, Xinxin, is there something wrong?"

Seeing his daughter's expression, He Zhenghao hurriedly asked.

Source Dao State wanderers were the first background Li Fan had made up when meeting He Zhenghao for the first time.

But...

Family knows family best.

Li Fan knew very well that he hadn't been to Source Dao State in this life.

Why was this little girl asking about Source Dao State?

Li Fan's eyes flickered, staring at He Xinxin as he waited for her answer.

He Xinxin opened her mouth but hesitated.

"Haha, Xinxin, you can speak freely," Li Fan smiled.

He Xinxin looked apologetic: "Uncle, I understand. It’s not that I don’t want to say."

"It's just that I really don't know how to interpret the [Dao Script Erosion Text]..."

Li Fan raised his eyebrows: "What does that mean?"

After hesitating for a moment, He Xinxin drew a picture with her hand.

The figure in the drawing was naturally Li Fan.

On his back seemed to be something.

As the scene changed, an unseen entity bit him hard.

Li Fan didn't seem to notice and walked away calmly.

The thing on his back disappeared.

...

The picture vanished.

He Xinxin frowned: "According to the Dao text, in Source Dao State, Uncle was attacked by some unknown object."

"Uncle wasn’t injured or in danger of death."

"But overall, the [Dao Script Erosion Text] shows extreme danger."

"This is contradictory."

"This is why I don't know how to interpret it."

He Zhenghao smiled: "Daughter, could you have made a mistake again? Extreme danger was also extremely dangerous for me before. Li Fan friend is still alive and well..."

Li Fan's heart sank.

"Source Dao State..."

Blue crystals flashed in his mind as he replayed everything that happened there.

After the first pass, nothing seemed out of place.

After the second pass, it remained so...

...

Under the [Transformation Dao God One] secret technique, Li Fan repeatedly watched over his past experiences.

Finally, he noticed an anomaly.

A chill rose from behind him, making him feel like he was in winter.

Even when he narrowly escaped death at the hands of Heavenly Doctor, he hadn't been this scared before.

This was true fear that Li Fan had felt since coming through a dimensional rift.

In his twelfth life, he established the Moonlight Palace for Crossing Methods in the 29th year.

Then he secluded himself to study Zhang Ziliang's infinite technique inheritance.

Chu Xingyang’s forced marriage and the subsequent smooth expansion of the Moonlight Palace's crossing methods...

These should have happened in the same year.

But factually...

Chu Xingyang’s forced marriage, the initial success of the Moonlight Palace's crossing methods...

Happened in the 39th year.

Ten years had passed.

Where did he go?
