第二百九十八章 萧斧天高辽

Back in his own secondary residence, Li Fan began to draw out a fragment of his soul for identification once more. This time, he keenly sensed the difference compared to before.

In the white expanse, Li Fan had previously been unable to effectively identify the existence of soul contracts; it relied entirely on his subconscious sense and guesswork. However, after countless souls washed through the Vengeful Soul Sea, it seemed that his own soul underwent some mysterious changes.

After a series of tests, Li Fan was pleasantly surprised to find that his success rate in identifying soul contracts had soared from 0.2% to 3%.

"Still, this simple and straightforward method suits me well. With just a few more attempts, recognizing soul contracts won't be an issue anymore," Li Fan thought with some excitement.

With the aid of the Soul Refining Stone and Xuanhuang Refining Heart Spell, the Vengeful Soul Sea posed little risk to Li Fan. Instead, it was a significant opportunity.

Similar to his initial feelings after using the Intention Horse, Li Fan vaguely felt that his soul had grown stronger. This made him look forward to the upcoming Vengeful Soul Sea surfing sessions.

Under continuous learning and training, as well as the cleansing of souls from the Vengeful Soul Sea, Li Fan's success rate in sensing soul contracts steadily increased. It rose from 5% to 10%, then to 50%.

When only eight members remained in the lucky group, this additional training finally concluded. At that point, Li Fan's accuracy had stabilized at 80%.

Ji Hongdiao assessed him as being average among his peers; he was barely acceptable but with a promising future.

Unfortunately, the time limit for using the Vengeful Soul Sea from Cai Zhenzhang's strategy hall had expired. Li Fan no longer had the opportunity to receive special training and would have to rely on his own efforts to improve.

However, after so many days of being cleansed by the Vengeful Soul Sea and interacting with countless souls bearing soul contracts, Li Fan now vaguely grasped the method for identifying them.

As long as there was a familiar sensation in his soul when it came into contact with the soul waves, 80% of the time it would bear the mark of a soul contract. Then he could conduct the final verification, significantly increasing the accuracy rate.

With this shortcoming eliminated, Li Fan's ranking among these array technique geniuses steadily improved.

As Li Fan continued his studies in the Universal Secondary Residence, time had arrived at the 27th year of the anchor point. In the vicinity of Cunyun Sea and a荒岛, Xiao Heng stood facing the wind, his demeanor vastly different from before.

One hundred and eight azure water swords spun around him, forming various intricate array formations. He gazed down at the sea with a serious expression as an odd sound echoed from deep beneath the surface. The shadow below rapidly expanded, enveloping Xiao Heng almost instantly.

A massive shadow of a mythical creature appeared, opening its giant mouth to swallow Xiao Heng whole. A flash of blue light momentarily flickered in Xiao Heng's eyes as his figure turned ethereal and vanished, evading the beast's attack.

High above, Xiao Heng watched the failed attack on the beast with a smile. He blew gently, attracting clouds that gathered around him. Cloudy figures resembling him quickly formed, each composed entirely of clouds. In moments, they had taken shape into an army, wielding swords and charging at the beast below.

Instantly, sword lights flashed across the sky as thousands of explosions erupted on the creature's body. "Weak! Too weak!" "Xiao Heng, are you tickling me?"

Yefeipeng, whose voice emerged from the beast, spoke in human language. He effortlessly deflected Xiao Heng's attacks, his massive form trembling slightly. Waves surged, creating a hundred-foot-high tidal wave as the creature rose into the air and transformed into a bird, soaring skyward.

Faced with this army of thousands of cloud warriors, it paid no heed. It charged forward, unstoppable in its momentum, reducing all cloud figures to dust before reaching Xiao Heng's side.

Xiao Heng remained unperturbed, his figure turning ethereal once more. Moments later, he reappeared at another location in the sky.

"Fatty, you have only brute strength; what use is that?"

"Your attacks are like throwing axes into the sky. The sky is so vast and distant. No matter how high you throw an axe, it can never reach its surface!"

"This is one of my Four Golden Core Techniques: the Void Technique! What do you think?" Xiao Heng's tone exuded pride.

Previously, when he was on the brink of condensing his golden core, a subconscious intuition guided him to the center of Cunyun Sea.

When he saw the transparent, dreamlike building standing in the sky, Xiao Heng was deeply moved.

The Cloud Water Heavenly Palace contained countless opportunities. Many cultivators risked their lives to enter it, hoping for sudden wealth. However...

They all overlooked that the existence of the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace itself was a marvel! Clouds and water transformed into forms, floating high in the sky. Between reality and illusion, it was a grand spectacle!

Xiao Heng stood outside the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace for nearly a year, countless cultivators entering and exiting, pointing at him. He ignored them all, focusing on his inner understanding.

Eventually, he derived the Void Technique from the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace's existence in the world, along with the Sea Technique and Sword Technique gained from practicing The Divine Sword of Calming the Sea.

He condensed his golden core using these four techniques!

Shortly after returning to the荒岛, he encountered Yefeipeng, who had also advanced to the Golden Core realm. With his improved strength, Xiao Heng was eager to challenge him.

Yefeipeng readily agreed, leading to their previous battle.

During their confrontation, even with ample psychological preparation, Xiao Heng was still taken aback. Before the battle, Yefeipeng's "beast transformation" had become more complete. He could completely shed his human form and transform into a true mythical creature.

In its Kui form, it was enormous, hiding in the sea, moving swiftly and unpredictably. A slight distraction would result in Xiao Heng being swallowed whole from beneath the surface.

In its Peng form, it moved even faster with hurricane-like winds accompanying its wings. Its speed and strength combined made it incredibly destructive; he had once shattered his 108 Divine Swords of Calming the Sea array.

Fortunately, Xiao Heng's "Void Technique" was extraordinarily effective, allowing him to evade Yefeipeng's frenzied attacks repeatedly.

Seeing this again, the small fatty became furious.

"Vast and high is the sky, but your axe can't reach its surface? Xiao Heng, you are too confident!"

"The limits of human power, especially just a Golden Core cultivator, how could you compare to the true sky?"

"If you were the sky..."

"I will devour it then!"

With a thunderous roar, Yefeipeng's already enormous form expanded further. He flapped his wings, forming chains from green winds that sealed off the sky before opening his massive mouth, releasing black shadows.

These shadows seemed to contain infinite suction, distorting the sky and pulling it towards their mouths.

Xiao Heng's face changed as he tried to move again. However, he was shocked to find that his "Void Technique," which had previously been so effective, now lost its efficacy!

His body flew uncontrollably towards the terrifying beast's mouth under immense pressure, causing the qi within him to cease flowing.

Seeing this, Xiao Heng could only reluctantly shout: "I surrender! I give up!" Yefeipeng's eyes flashed red, showing no intention of stopping. Fortunately, after a moment, blackness returned to his eyes, and Yefeipeng regained consciousness, ceasing his actions.
