第三百六十五章 生死可炼心

"Such training, who would go mad if not you?"

After a while, Li Fan couldn't help but exclaim after finishing the entire Jade Slip.

The content recorded in the Jade Slip was naturally what Zhong Shen Tong had mentioned earlier—the cultivation technique known as 'Life and Death Profound Art' that he practiced.

This half-scroll of a damaged text came from somewhere unknown. The essence of the technique was even somewhat unbelievable.

In the first chapter, it directly stated its purpose: everything in this world would eventually meet its end—flying creatures, beasts, plants, humans, cultivators, demons, and even the heavens themselves were no exception to this fate. To transcend death, one must reach a state of neither life nor death, both life and death at once before their own demise.

This was also the highest realm envisioned by the technique. To achieve "life and death coexisting," one needed unparalleled understanding and insight into the essence of life and death.

The 'Life and Death Sensation Chapter' was a method within the technique used to perceive life and death. Starting from the initial "fear of death, love for life" to "forgetting life in pursuit of death," then finally reaching "life and death coexisting."

Thus, 'Life and Death Profound Art' was an unusual cultivation technique that utilized the power of life and death.

Due to its lofty intent, the content of the technique was extremely profound and obscure. It surpassed even the 'Strange Profound True Spirit Transformation,' perhaps because the founder himself had not reached the state of both life and death.

The latter part of the cultivation content in the technique was mostly speculative guesses. Li Fan, after a cursory glance, could see several contradictions between different parts.

"Good technique, but unfortunately incomplete. If completed, it might still have some use. Now, we can only treat it as a reference."

"And sadly, Zhong Shen Tong's Seven-Colored Divine Light seems to be unrelated to 'Life and Death Profound Art.'"

Li Fan shook his head slightly. He put the Jade Slip away and pondered for a moment before attempting to activate the 'Life and Death Sensation Chapter.'

This chapter was a prerequisite method for entering into 'Life and Death Profound Art,' even ordinary people could practice it.

There was no problem for Li Fan either.

The words flowed through his mind like a stream of consciousness.

Three days and three nights later, Li Fan, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly felt the world around him shake violently.

A myriad of scenes flashed before his eyes. He seemed to have returned to Great Xuan, reliving his glory at the Imperial Examination, indulging in the imperial harem, ruling over the entire world...

And then, after enduring numerous dangers and finally breaking through the Immortal Desolation Array, he arrived in the realm of cultivation.

He progressed from a mere mortal, through Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, and Dan Formation.

In his past life, every moment that brought him joy surged to the forefront of his mind. Li Fan felt as if he were reliving it all anew.

Within such a short period,叠加了许多令人高兴的事,even with Li Fan's strong willpower, he couldn't help feeling somewhat elated and light-hearted.

Just when this joyful atmosphere reached its peak...

Everything seemed to shatter like bubbles, fading away one by one.

In their place were the moments of near-death that Li Fan had experienced countless times.

"Father, Father..."

"Wife!"

He heard cries of despair, echoes of his first life, just before he was about to die from illness.

"Nothing but a last chance at survival!" Cao Hong's mad laughter accompanied by thunderous explosions and raging flames appeared in front of him.

This was the second life, where Dao Xuanzi and Cao Hong fought, Xuanjing fell into ruins, and Li Fan narrowly escaped death.

The lethal crises of the Boundary-Wrecker of Immortal Desolation, the rapid aging that turned him into a sea, the pursuit by the guardian elders...

One after another, these critical moments seemed to converge on Li Fan at once.

Until the space in the Heavenly Profound Mirror was torn apart, and he vaguely saw the kind face of an old man.

The fear within him could no longer be contained.

Li Fan broke out of his meditation.

"Y—"

Before he could finish saying 'still,' all the terrifying images vanished instantly.

Li Fan managed to stop himself. His entire body was drenched in cold sweat, and his breathing was as urgent as if he had narrowly escaped death.

His gaze flickered as he reflected on what just happened.

"I failed."

"This Life and Death Sensation Chapter triggers my fear of death, not merely a simple illusion."

"It's similar to that Intention Horse, extremely illusory yet nearly real."

"What I believe is true becomes true."

"The danger was truly extreme. If I were deeply ensnared by it, unable to distinguish truth from falsehood, there might be a chance I would be frightened to death."

"No wonder Zhong Shen Tong went mad..."

"Only in this way can one truly feel the fear of death."

Thinking about this, Li Fan sighed.

"Unfortunately, this method is useless for me."

"For ordinary people facing the threat of death, they naturally feel panic and despair."

"But I am different."

"Regardless of any situation, I always have a lifeline."

"That's my [True Profound]."

"When the Life and Death Sensation reaches its peak and faces an actual threat to life, I will instinctively call out [True Profound], rewriting everything..."

"Wait..."

Li Fan suddenly thought of something, his expression changing slightly.

"Survival instinct..."

"Yellow-Orchid Refining Heart Spell..."

He stood up abruptly as his thoughts raced. Walking back and forth, he considered the feasibility.

"Inverting the Daoic heart requires me to resist my instincts."

"And for me, the greatest instinct is calling out [True Profound] just before death."

"If I practice this in reverse, the收获必定是无法想象的."

"But it's impossible to abandon the idea of True Profound at such a critical moment."

"Using the Life and Death Sensation Chapter solves this problem."

Li Fan's eyes flashed as he calmed himself down. He restarted the sensation method.

When life's beauty was shattered once again and death's threat descended, Li Fan still couldn't escape his ingrained habit and called out [True Profound].

The second attempt failed.

Undeterred, Li Fan persisted. The third, fourth... until the fifty-sixth time.

Facing Tian Yi's face, Li Fan activated the 'Yellow-Orchid Refining Heart Spell.' He temporarily suppressed his instinct to call out [True Profound] with immense willpower.

However, death's threat did not disappear due to his restraint; it became even more real.

Tian Yi's appearance gradually became clearer in front of him, and Li Fan's spiritual perception warned him frantically.

Finally, drenched in sweat, Li Fan broke out of the Life and Death Sensation practice.

"Perhaps this sensation chapter can only truly face death without harm after reaching a state of forgetting life."

Li Fan was well aware that if he had persisted earlier, even if he didn't die on the spot, his fate would be no better.

"This technique is really quite strange."

"But in those few moments just now, the gains were immense."

Compared to the coolness gained from crossing through the white fog and risking his life for help, there was a slight increase in the refreshing aura within the Heart Refining Great Mortar.
