第四百八十四章 轮回布天局

Previously, the "Han Wuyou" who visited Si Kong Yi's residence was naturally Li Fan's avatar.

After much effort, he pretended to want a 40% share of the contribution points, assisted in resolving fellow cultivators' issues with his own mystical techniques, and even offered strategic advice while exploring the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace together.

The ultimate goal was to plant an implication in Si Kong Yi’s mind. Once he completed the first task for the Celestial Physician, Li Fan would then proactively offer a solution, triggering the delivery of the white jade statue.

From Si Kong Yi's recent往返 actions, it seemed that Li Fan's plan had succeeded. In this world, he intended to push against the Old Fisher and the Master in a confrontation with the Celestial Physician. However, all his scheming required someone to deliver the Celestial Physician’s statue into the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace.

Only then would the Master sense the presence of the Celestial Physician within the palace and drive his cart across the sea. Given the perilous nature of this task, Li Fan could not possibly undertake it himself. The Celestial Physician's "Observation, Smelling, Inquiry, and Pulse-taking" techniques were indeed terrifying; even a prepared avatar might not be able to deceive him.

Since Si Kong Yi had previously submitted the Cloud Water Scroll and earned ten thousand contribution points, he naturally became the ideal candidate for this task. However, Li Fan was unsure if Si Kong Yi had also received the request from the Celestial Physician to transport the statue. This is why "Han Wuyou" made a visit.

Even if Si Kong Yi or the Celestial Physician were suspicious of Han Wuyou's sudden appearance, his death in the enigmatic Cloud Water Heavenly Palace sealed the deal.

Li Fan believed that even the Celestial Physician would find it difficult to trace him due to the many layers of mystery within the palace. Furthermore, from the Celestial Physician’s perspective, Si Kong Yi was merely a greedy cultivator blinded by profit who sought support; he might not even consider investigating.

Overall, Li Fan's scheme was flawless and seamless, ensuring that no one would discover his plans. It was a perfect arrangement born out of multiple lifetimes of experience, information, and calculated strategy—something others could not replicate.

Even the Celestial Physician, despite his strength, fell into Li Fan’s invisible web without realizing it. Although to a lesser extent, "arranging for a powerful entity like the Celestial Physician to act in accordance with one's preconceived direction" was significant enough.

Li Fan felt the lingering shadows that had weighed on him for so long gradually dissipate as he exhaled his long-held gloom. "Even if your cultivation reaches the heavens, you still fall into my trap!"

Despite his excitement over this small victory, Li Fan did not let it cloud his judgment. He understood that this success was based on having gathered enough possibilities.

The advantage had now run out, and he faced numerous unknowns, necessitating careful steps forward. "Better to give up than force the issue."

"The Celestial Physician is in place. The next step is to inform the Old Fisher about the Sky Tyrant Sword's imprisonment within the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace when the Master appears 16 years from now."

"Another proxy will be needed for this task."

In an instant, Li Fan thought of a suitable candidate: "Han Yi..."

Li Fan sensed the Unformulated Killing Intent’s tracking. Over a year had passed since he last saw Han Yi, and he was still not back in the Xuanhuang Realm.

It seemed that his recent encounter had been fruitful. "No problem; I have him under my control."

Li Fan gazed at the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace towering above, then returned quietly to his thoughts.

On Body-Island, Ye Feipeng felt elated recently. The Immortal Master who had disappeared after bringing them here suddenly reappeared and began inspecting the children's cultivation progress. Those who excelled were rewarded with spirit stones and medicinal pills, while those who lagged behind faced three days of battling an "Evil Puppet" without respite.

The "Evil Puppet," as the children called it privately, was a seemingly simple puppet that proved far more challenging than expected.

Baron Sun, with his exceptional talent, was the first to challenge the puppet. Within half a year, he had advanced from a mere mortal to mid-Qi Condensation stage. His martial arts skills further enhanced his combat prowess.

The children found him nearly invincible in normal sparring sessions. Driven by arrogance, Baron Sun challenged the Sky Yang Puppet publicly and was soundly defeated.

Following Li Fan's instructions, Sky Yang only aimed to incapacitate without causing fatal damage. The experience deeply taught Baron Sun about the treacherous nature of human hearts and how appearances can be deceiving.

Sky Yang continuously provoked Baron Sun into attacks, but always failed at critical moments. Exhausted and unconscious from his relentless efforts, Baron Sun eventually broke through to late-Qi Condensation stage after seven days of seclusion.

Overjoyed by this breakthrough, he challenged Sky Yang again. However, the outcome was the same—just a hair's breadth away!

The children began to realize that the seemingly harmless puppet was deliberately mocking them. Angered and battered once more, Baron Sun fell unconscious.

From then on, regardless of their cultivation levels, the children found the puppet only slightly stronger than themselves. Some were furious at Sky Yang’s perceived malice, while others recognized him as an ideal training partner and began frequenting his presence.

Ye Feipeng was among them. Although he did not wish to fight, being the sole practitioner of "Triple Method Cultivation," he could not allow himself to fall behind. Unfortunately, his average talent meant that he eventually fell in line with other opponents.

Just as Ye Feipeng grew anxious, the Immortal Master appeared. While rewarding and punishing the children fairly, he offered special treatment to Ye Fei Peng. After assessing his progress and examining him thoroughly, the Immortal Master deemed "Stabilizing the Sea Divine Sword" unsuitable for him.

He stripped Ye Fei Peng of his cultivation and granted a new technique: "Ocean Roaming Dragon Skill."
