朔锋的声音越来越小。阑
Shuofeng's voice grew fainter. Lan
zuì zhōng wēi bù kě wén zhī hòu ， tiān dì jiān fēn fēn de fēi sè xuě huā yě suí zhī xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
最终微不可闻之后，天地间纷纷的绯色雪花也随之消失不见。
Finally, the crimson snowflakes that had been swirling in the sky vanished without a trace.
jiù xiàng yī cháng cuò jué bān 。
就像一场错觉般。
It was as if it were all an illusion.
“ shì dān chún de qiǎo hé ， hái shì tā nà jīng shì qì yùn dǎo zhì de qū jí bì xiōng ？”
“是单纯的巧合，还是他那惊世气运导致的趋吉避凶？”
"Is this just a coincidence, or is his world-shaking fortune causing him to avoid misfortune?"
“ yì huò zhě ， fēi xuě xiān zūn yì zhí zài zhù shì zhe shuò fēng ， bù róng tā yǒu shī 。 yǎn jiàn tā jí jiāng bù rù xiǎn dì ， jiù chū miàn zǔ zhǐ ？”
“亦或者，绯雪仙尊一直在注视着朔锋，不容他有失。眼见他即将步入险地，就出面阻止？”
"Or perhaps, Crimson Snow Immortal has always been watching Shuofeng and will not allow any mishaps. Seeing that he's about to enter danger, he steps in to stop it?"
lǐ fán chén mò bù yǔ ， zhuǎn tóu kàn xiàng hán yì shí xiàng de wèi zhì 。
李凡沉默不语，转头看向韩易石像的位置。
Li Fan remained silent as he turned to look at the position where Han Yishi's statue was.
chén yín piàn kè hòu ， luò zài dì miàn 。 yùn zhuàn 【 tiān mìng lǐng yù 】， yí bù yí bù cháo zhe nà lǐ zǒu qù 。
沉吟片刻后，落在地面。运转【天命领域】，一步一步朝着那里走去。
After a moment of contemplation, his footsteps began to move slowly towards there. He activated the Heavenly Fate Domain and walked step by step.
bù fá zǒu de jí wéi huǎn màn ， yīn wèi lǐ fán zài xī xīn gǎn wù zhōu wéi de jí yùn lì liàng 。 lán
步伐走的极为缓慢，因为李凡在悉心感悟周围的汲运力量。阑
His pace was extremely slow because Li Fan was carefully perceiving the汲取运force around him. Lan
yóu yú mù qián de tā yǐ jīng wú xiàn jiē jìn yú 【 wú yùn zhī rén 】 de zhuàng tài ， suǒ yǐ duì zì shēn qì yùn de biàn huà jiù xiǎn de gé wài mǐn gǎn 。
由于目前的他已经无限接近于【无运之人】的状态，所以对自身气运的变化就显得格外敏感。
Since he was now almost in the state of an运less person, any change in his fortune became particularly sensitive to him.
dāng xiàng qián zǒu le dà gài jiǔ shí duō bù zhī hòu ， lǐ fán hū de chá jué dào 【 tiān mìng lǐng yù 】 lù chū le yī sī pò zhàn 。
当向前走了大概九十多步之后，李凡忽的察觉到【天命领域】露出了一丝破绽。
About ninety steps later, Li Fan suddenly sensed a flaw in the Heavenly Fate Domain.
jiù xiàng bèi zhā le yí gè dòng de shuǐ bēi ， yuán běn jiù ruò děng yú wú de qì yùn zài shùn jiān fēng kuáng liú shì 。 zuì hòu yī sī chè dǐ bèi zhà gàn zhī hòu ， zài lǐ fán shì xiàn zhōng ， nóng nóng de hēi qì kāi shǐ zài zì jǐ tóu dǐng pán xuán 。
就像被扎了一个洞的水杯，原本就若等于无的气运在瞬间疯狂流逝。最后一丝彻底被榨干之后，在李凡视线中，浓浓的黑气开始在自己头顶盘旋。
Like a cup with a hole punctured in it, his already negligible fortune began to flow away instantly. The last bit was completely drained, and in Li Fan's vision, thick black mist started swirling above his head.
zhǐ gǎn jué zì jǐ měng dì xīn jīng ròu tiào ， hǎo sì xià yī kè jiù yào dà huò lín tóu yì bān 。
只感觉自己勐地心惊肉跳，好似下一刻就要大祸临头一般。
He felt a sudden jolt of fear, as if a disaster was about to strike at any moment.
lǐ fán lián máng xiàng hòu tuì què ， tóng shí jiāng yuán xiān chǔ cún zài tiān mìng xuán yǔ zhōng de qì yùn qǔ huí 。
李凡连忙向后退却，同时将原先储存在天命玄羽中的气运取回。
Li Fan hurriedly retreated while retrieving the fortune stored within the Heavenly Fate Feather.
ráo shì tā de dòng zuò yǐ jīng fēi cháng xùn sù le ， dàn qì yùn dài lái de biàn huà yě shì lì gān jiàn yǐng 。 zài hòu chè guò chéng zhōng ， lǐ fán jìng rán yí gè liàng qiàng 、 chà diǎn shuāi dǎo zài dì 。 tā kě shì táng táng yuán yīng xiū shì ， hái shì yòng wǔ xíng dòng tiān jié yīng de zuì dǐng jiān nà zhǒng 。
饶是他的动作已经非常迅速了，但气运带来的变化也是立竿见影。在后撤过程中，李凡竟然一个踉跄、差点摔倒在地。他可是堂堂元婴修士，还是用五行洞天结婴的最顶尖那种。
Even though he moved quickly, the change caused by the loss of fortune was immediate. As he withdrew, Li Fan stumbled and nearly fell to the ground. He was an accomplished元婴 cultivator, one of the top in using the Five Elements Cavern Sky to form his embryo.
jū rán huì zǒu lù shuāi dǎo ？ lán
居然会走路摔倒？阑
How could he trip while walking?
rán ér zhè zhǒng wéi fǎn cháng lǐ de shì qíng què piān piān jiù zhè me fā shēng le 。
然而这种违反常理的事情却偏偏就这么发生了。
However, such a violation of common sense did indeed occur.
lǐ fán bù gǎn yóu yù ， bǎ gāng gāng nà zhǒng gǎn jué láo jì xīn tóu de tóng shí ， jiā kuài le bǔ chōng liú shì qì yùn de sù dù 。
李凡不敢犹豫，把刚刚那种感觉牢记心头的同时，加快了补充流逝气运的速度。
Li Fan didn't hesitate; he firmly committed that feeling to memory and sped up the process of replenishing his fortune.
dài tā chóng xīn wěn zhù shēn xíng 、 chè huí ān quán qū yù zhī hòu 。 lǐ fán fā xiàn ， jiāng jìn xiāo hào le xuán niǎo zhī yǔ zhōng cún chǔ qì yùn de yí bàn ， zhè cái chóng xīn jiāng tóu dǐng de hēi sè è yùn gěi dǐ xiāo diào 。
待他重新稳住身形、撤回安全区域之后。李凡发现，将近消耗了玄鸟之羽中存储气运的一半，这才重新将头顶的黑色厄运给抵消掉。
After stabilizing himself and retreating back into a safe area, Li Fan discovered that nearly half of the fortune stored in the Heavenly Fate Feather had been consumed just to neutralize the black misfortune above him.
“ shàng qiě jù lí shí xiàng zhè me yuǎn ， jiù xiāo hào le rú cǐ duō de qì yùn 。 zhè jí yùn shí xiàng ， dàng zhēn yǒu diǎn kǒng bù 。 kǒng pà jiù suàn shuò fēng nà děng hóng yùn qí tiān zhī rén ， yě dǐ dǎng bú zhù 、 yào bèi xī gè gān jìng 。 nán guài shuò fēng huì bèi tā mǔ qīn dài zǒu 。”
“尚且距离石像这么远，就消耗了如此多的气运。这汲运石像，当真有点恐怖。恐怕就算朔锋那等鸿运齐天之人，也抵挡不住、要被吸个干净。难怪朔锋会被他母亲带走。”
"Even at such a distance from the statue, so much fortune has been spent. This汲取运statue is truly terrifying. Even someone like Shuofeng with boundless good fortune would be unable to resist and might get completely drained. No wonder he was taken by his mother."

"Unnatural forces can't be resisted unless..."
“ fēi rén lì néng gòu kàng héng ， chú fēi ……”
“非人力能够抗衡，除非……”
"The world's fortune."
“ shì jiè zhī yùn 。”
“世界之运。”
Li Fan suddenly thought of the world where Xiaohei had fallen. Lan
lǐ fán xīn zhōng yī dòng ， shà shí xiǎng qǐ le xiǎo hēi yǔn luò de nà ge shì jiè 。 lán
李凡心中一动，霎时想起了小黑陨落的那个世界。阑
The fate of that small world, inhabited by an anomaly, had clearly been absorbed and integrated by Xiaohei. But recently, for unknown reasons, Xiaohei had fallen, causing the fate to fragment and disperse.
nà ge yì shòu xiǎo shì jiè de tiān yùn ， míng xiǎn yǐ jīng bèi xiǎo hēi liàn huà 、 róng hé 。 dàn bù jiǔ qián ， xiǎo hēi yīn wèi bù zhī míng de yuán yīn yǔn luò 。 tiān yùn yě zhī lí pò suì ， sàn luò gè chù 。
那个异兽小世界的天运，明显已经被小黑炼化、融合。但不久前，小黑因为不知名的原因陨落。天运也支离破碎，散落各处。
Even with his shallow cultivation at the time, Han Yi could absorb and control the free-floating fate force.
yǐ hán yì dāng chū nà qiǎn xiǎn de xiū wèi ， dōu néng xī shōu 、 zhǎng wò yóu lí tiān yùn 。
以韩易当初那浅显的修为，都能吸收、掌握游离天运。
Therefore, Li Fan, possessing the Heavenly Bird Feather, would likely find it easier to absorb world fortune.
nà me shēn jù xuán niǎo zhī yǔ de lǐ fán ， xī shōu shì jiè tiān yùn qǐ lái ， xiǎng bì gèng huì shì dé xīn yìng shǒu 。
那么身具玄鸟之羽的李凡，吸收世界天运起来，想必更会是得心应手。
"Moreover, Xuke's drop of blood seems to be buried there. It looks like I'll have to make a trip."
“ kuàng qiě ， xǔ kè de yī dī jīng xuè sì hū yě mái zàng zài nà lǐ 。 kàn lái ， shì bì yào pǎo yī tàng le 。”
“况且，许克的一滴精血似乎也埋葬在那里。看来，势必要跑一趟了。”
"The small world contains many powerful beasts. If this were in the past and I was just an元婴 cultivator, entering alone might cause some concern. But now..."
“ nà chù xiǎo shì jiè zhōng ， sì hū yǐn cáng zhe bù shǎo shí lì qiáng hèng de shòu zhǒng 。 rú guǒ yǐ wǎng ， wǒ zhǐ shì yuán yīng shí lì 、 gū shēn yī rén ， hái huì yǒu diǎn gù lǜ 。 bù guò xiàn zài ma ……”
“那处小世界中，似乎隐藏着不少实力强横的兽种。如果以往，我只是元婴实力、孤身一人，还会有点顾虑。不过现在嘛……”
A glint flashed in Li Fan's eyes.
lǐ fán yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī dào jīng guāng 。
李凡眼中闪过一道精光。
For now, he would leave the汲取运domain and return to the Everlasting Valley to summon Liu San. Lan
zàn qiě xiān lí kāi cǐ chù jí yùn lǐng yù ， fǎn huí cháng shēng gǔ zhōng ， zhào jiàn le liǔ sān 。 lán
暂且先离开此处汲运领域，返回长生谷中，召见了柳三。阑
Just as he was about to speak, instructing him to lead some Medicine King Sect disciples into the small world of anomalies for a preliminary sweep, Li Fan suddenly sensed something amiss and hesitated.
zhèng yù kāi kǒu ， ràng tā shuài lǐng yī xiē yào wáng zōng dì zǐ ， jìn rù yì shòu xiǎo shì jiè zhōng xiān xíng sǎo dàng 、 sù qīng wēi xié 。
正欲开口，让他率领一些药王宗弟子，进入异兽小世界中先行扫荡、肃清威胁。
"Young Master, what are you worried about?"
lǐ fán què hū de chá jué dào le yī sī bù tuǒ ， yù yán yòu zhǐ 。
李凡却忽的察觉到了一丝不妥，欲言又止。
Liu San looked at Li Fan, feeling somewhat puzzled.
“ shǎo zhǔ hé shì yōu lǜ ？”
“少主何事忧虑？”
Li Fan pondered briefly before tracing back through the records on the Transformation Stone. He then realized he had unconsciously forgotten about the calamity that befell Cunyun Sea.
liǔ sān kàn zhe lǐ fán ， gǎn dào yǒu xiē qí guài 。
柳三看着李凡，感到有些奇怪。
"I wonder how Cunyun Sea looks now—whether it has become a void or turned into barren mountains?" Lan
lǐ fán wēi wēi sī cǔn piàn kè ， zhuī shuò huà dào shí guò wǎng jì lù huà miàn ， zhè cái huǎng rán 。
李凡微微思忖片刻，追朔化道石过往记录画面，这才恍然。
"If it's already vanished, does the entrance to the small world still exist?"
yuán lái zì jǐ jìng rán yòu zài bù zhī bù jué jiān ， bǎ cóng yún hǎi zāo shòu jié nàn de shì qíng gěi wàng jì le 。
原来自己竟然又在不知不觉间，把丛云海遭受劫难的事情给忘记了。
Li Fan's expression grew heavy as thoughts raced through his mind.
“ bù zhī dào cǐ shì rú jīn de cóng yún hǎi shì shén me mú yàng ， xū wú yī piàn de shēn yuān 、 hái shì gān kū de shān mài ？” lán
“不知道此世如今的丛云海是什么模样，虚无一片的深渊、还是干枯的山脉？”阑
"During this trip outside, I discovered something terrifying."
“ yào shì nà lǐ yǐ jīng huà zuò xū wú de huà ， xiǎo shì jiè de rù kǒu hái cún bù cún zài ……”
“要是那里已经化作虚无的话，小世界的入口还存不存在……”
He told Liu San about Cunyun Sea being destroyed and gradually forgotten by people.
nǎo hǎi zhōng sī niàn jí zhuǎn ， lǐ fán miàn lù chén zhòng zhī sè 。
脑海中思念急转，李凡面露沉重之色。
"Cunyun Sea?" Liu San was initially confused but finally remembered with a look of shock.
“ cǐ cì wǒ wài chū ， fā xiàn le yī jiàn dà kǒng bù zhī shì 。”
“此次我外出，发现了一件大恐怖之事。”
"It’s fortunate that we moved to the Everlasting Valley because of unforeseen circumstances; otherwise, we would have been caught in this calamity," Li Fan said wistfully.
dāng xià ， lǐ fán bǎ cóng yún hǎi yǐ jīng bèi huǐ 、 bèi shì rén què zhú jiàn wàng què de shì qíng gào sù le liǔ sān 。
当下，李凡把丛云海已经被毁、被世人却逐渐忘却的事情告诉了柳三。
Liu San focused on his own forgetfulness. Lan
“ cóng yún hǎi ？” liǔ sān xiān shì shén sè yǒu xiē mí wǎng ， ér hòu zhōng yú xiǎng le qǐ lái ， miàn lù hài rán zhī sè 。
“丛云海？”柳三先是神色有些迷惘，而后终于想了起来，面露骇然之色。
"Making people forget their worries—this is the power of the new method of immortality?" Liu San was deeply shocked. He had only known long-lived cultivators from ancient times, and now he realized how different they were.
“ hái hǎo wǒ men yīn wèi yào bān jū dào cháng shēng gǔ de yuán gù ， yīn chā yáng cuò zhī xià ， duǒ guò le zhè chǎng jié nàn 。” lǐ fán yǒu xiē gǎn tàn dào 。
“还好我们因为要搬居到长生谷的缘故，阴差阳错之下，躲过了这场劫难。”李凡有些感叹道。
He had once interacted with Immortal Heaven Kings from the Ten Sects of Daoism, even if he wasn't their match, he could still resist them to some extent.
liǔ sān què shì bǎ zhòng diǎn fàng zài le zì jǐ jū rán yí wàng liǎo shì qíng zhī shàng 。 lán
柳三却是把重点放在了自己居然遗忘了事情之上。阑
But now...
“ shǐ shì rén zài háo wú zhī jué jiān wàng yōu ， zhè jiù shì xīn fǎ cháng shēng de lì liàng me ？” duì cháng shēng jìng qiáng zhě de yìn xiàng ， hái tíng liú zài shàng gǔ zhī shí de liǔ sān ， cǐ kè bèi shēn shēn zhèn jīng le 。
“使世人在毫无知觉间忘忧，这就是新法长生的力量么？”对长生境强者的印象，还停留在上古之时的柳三，此刻被深深震惊了。
In an instant, Liu San's pride crumbled. The more he thought about it, the more fearful he became, and beads of cold sweat formed on his forehead.
yào zhī dào ， zuò wéi yào wáng zōng zuì qiáng de jǐ míng hé dào qiáng zhě zhī yī ， tā dāng chū yě céng gēn xiān dào shí zōng de cháng shēng tiān zūn men dǎ guò zhào miàn 。
要知道，作为药王宗最强的几名合道强者之一，他当初也曾跟仙道十宗的长生天尊们打过照面。
Li Fan noticed Liu San’s unusual behavior and comforted him, "Grandmaster Liu, don't worry. Although both ancient and modern Immortal Heaven Kings are called that, the new method of immortality is clearly not at the same level as the old one."
zì xǔ jiù suàn bú shì tā men de dí shǒu ， dàn zuì qǐ mǎ yě néng fǎn kàng yī èr 。
自诩就算不是他们的敌手，但最起码也能反抗一二。
Even though he deeply trusted Li Fan, it took Liu San half a moment to recover.
bù céng xiǎng dào ……
不曾想到……
After a long silence, he sighed and said to Li Fan, "Only now do I understand the power of the new method. Before, I was just sitting in a well, seeing only what was within."
chà nà zhī jiān ， liǔ sān xīn zhōng de ào rán céng céng pò suì 。 yuè xiǎng yuè jué jīng jù ， é tóu jìng rán yǒu dī dī lěng hàn mào chū 。
刹那之间，柳三心中的傲然层层破碎。越想越觉惊惧，额头竟然有滴滴冷汗冒出。
"The difference between old and new methods is so great..."
lǐ fán yě chá jué dào le liǔ sān de bú zhèng cháng ， dāng jí chū shēng ān wèi dào ：“ liǔ lǎo bù bì jiè huái 。 gǔ jīn tiān dì biàn ， suī rán tóng míng wèi cháng shēng tiān zūn ， dàn shì jīn fǎ cháng shēng gēn gǔ fǎ cháng shēng ， xiǎn rán yǐ jīng bú shì tóng yī gè jí bié de cún zài le 。”
李凡也察觉到了柳三的不正常，当即出声安慰道：“柳老不必介怀。古今天地变，虽然同名为长生天尊，但是今法长生跟古法长生，显然已经不是同一个级别的存在了。”
"Young Master, I wish to switch to the new method," Liu San solemnly told Li Fan.
ráo shì duì lǐ fán jí wéi xìn fú ， liǔ sān yě zú zú guò le bàn shǎng ， cái huǎn le guò lái 。 lán
饶是对李凡极为信服，柳三也足足过了半晌，才缓了过来。阑
Li Fan wasn't surprised by this decision and nodded in agreement, "I support you! Grandmaster Liu, being able to regain your competitive spirit is a blessing for our Medicine King Sect. Perhaps, with your enlightenment, we can achieve immortality. Then, with the protection of an Immortal Heaven King, our sect can rise again."
chén mò xǔ jiǔ ， tā xiān shì cháng tàn yī shēng ， ér hòu yòu duì lǐ fán shuō dào ：“ jīn rì fāng zhī xīn fǎ cháng shēng zhī wēi ， zhī qián bù guò zuò jǐng guān tiān bà le 。”
沉默许久，他先是长叹一声，而后又对李凡说道：“今日方知新法长生之威，之前不过坐井观天罢了。”
"But..."
“ xīn 、 jiù fǎ chā jù rú cǐ zhī dà ……”
“新、旧法差距如此之大……”
Li Fan changed his tone, "Currently, it's impossible to practice both methods simultaneously. If you want to advance further and go against the laws of heaven and earth, you will need to retrain in another method."
“ shǎo zhǔ ， wǒ yù gǎi huàn xīn fǎ 。” liǔ sān tā zhèng zhòng dì duì lǐ fán shuō dào 。
“少主，我欲改换新法。”柳三他郑重地对李凡说道。
"Firstly, obtaining new methods is difficult. Secondly, the longevity pill still needs your supervision," Li Fan explained.
duì yú liǔ sān zhè ge jué dìng ， lǐ fán yì diǎn yě bù yì wài 。 tā diǎn diǎn tóu ， zàn tóng dào ：“ wǒ zhī chí nǐ ！ liǔ lǎo nín néng zhòng shí zhēng qiáng hào shèng zhī xīn ， yě shì wǒ men yào wáng zōng xìng shì 。 shuō bù dìng ， nín néng dà chè dà wù 、 zhèng dào zhǎng shēng ne 。 dào shí hòu ， yǒu cháng shēng tiān zūn bì yòu ， wǒ men yào wáng zōng jiù néng guāng míng zhèng dà de chóng xiàn shì jiān le 。”
对于柳三这个决定，李凡一点也不意外。他点点头，赞同道：“我支持你！柳老您能重拾争强好胜之心，也是我们药王宗幸事。说不定，您能大彻大悟、证道长生呢。到时候，有长生天尊庇佑，我们药王宗就能光明正大的重现世间了。”
Liu San immediately understood the meaning behind Li Fan's words; his previously ambitious spirit dimmed once again.
“ bù guò ……”
“不过……”
The gap between ideals and reality forced Liu San to make a choice.
lǐ fán huà fēng yī zhuǎn ：“ rú jīn fǎ bù kě tóng xiū ， rú guǒ liǔ lǎo nín xiǎng zài jìn yí bù 、【 nì tiān dì zhī lǐ 】， shì bì yào chóng xiū lìng wài yī mén hé dào gōng fǎ 。”
李凡话锋一转：“如今法不可同修，如果柳老您想再进一步、【逆天地之理】，势必要重修另外一门合道功法。”
Despite his unwavering loyalty to the Medicine King Sect, after a brief moment of hesitation, he made his decision.
“ yī lái ， rú jīn gōng fǎ huò zhī bù yì ， hé dào gōng fǎ gèng shì rú cǐ 。 èr lái me ， cháng shēng dān hái xū yào liǔ lǎo nín zhǔ chí liàn zhì ……” lán
“一来，如今功法获之不易，合道功法更是如此。二来么，长生丹还需要柳老您主持炼制……”阑
"I understand, Young Master. Let’s prioritize the revival of our sect," he said with a touch of melancholy.
liǔ sān shùn jiān míng bái le lǐ fán huà lǐ de yì si ， yuán běn de xióng xīn zhuàng zhì qǐng kè zhī jiān yòu biàn dé àn dàn xià lái 。
柳三瞬间明白了李凡话里的意思，原本的雄心壮志顷刻之间又变得暗澹下来。
Li Fan smiled slightly, "Grandmaster Liu, you misunderstood my meaning. I fully support your change in cultivation method. Your advancement and the rise of our sect are not contradictory."
lǐ xiǎng yǔ xiàn shí de chā jù ， ràng liǔ sān bù dé bù zuò chū qǔ shě 。
理想与现实的差距，让柳三不得不做出取舍。
"Just a little preparation is needed."
Shuofeng's voice grew fainter. Lan
Finally, the crimson snowflakes that had been swirling in the sky vanished without a trace.
It was as if it were all an illusion.
"Is this just a coincidence, or is his world-shaking fortune causing him to avoid misfortune?"
"Or perhaps, Crimson Snow Immortal has always been watching Shuofeng and will not allow any mishaps. Seeing that he's about to enter danger, he steps in to stop it?"
Li Fan remained silent as he turned to look at the position where Han Yishi's statue was.
After a moment of contemplation, his footsteps began to move slowly towards there. He activated the Heavenly Fate Domain and walked step by step.
His pace was extremely slow because Li Fan was carefully perceiving the汲取运force around him. Lan
Since he was now almost in the state of an运less person, any change in his fortune became particularly sensitive to him.
About ninety steps later, Li Fan suddenly sensed a flaw in the Heavenly Fate Domain.
Like a cup with a hole punctured in it, his already negligible fortune began to flow away instantly. The last bit was completely drained, and in Li Fan's vision, thick black mist started swirling above his head.

"Even at such a distance from the statue, so much fortune has been spent. This汲取运statue is truly terrifying. Even someone like Shuofeng with boundless good fortune would be unable to resist and might get completely drained. No wonder he was taken by his mother."
"Unnatural forces can't be resisted unless..."
"The world's fortune."
Li Fan suddenly thought of the world where Xiaohei had fallen. Lan
The fate of that small world, inhabited by an anomaly, had clearly been absorbed and integrated by Xiaohei. But recently, for unknown reasons, Xiaohei had fallen, causing the fate to fragment and disperse.
Even with his shallow cultivation at the time, Han Yi could absorb and control the free-floating fate force.

Li Fan changed his tone, "Currently, it's impossible to practice both methods simultaneously. If you want to advance further and go against the laws of heaven and earth, you will need to retrain in another method."
"Firstly, obtaining new methods is difficult. Secondly, the longevity pill still needs your supervision," Li Fan explained.
Liu San immediately understood the meaning behind Li Fan's words; his previously ambitious spirit dimmed once again.
The gap between ideals and reality forced Liu San to make a choice.
Despite his unwavering loyalty to the Medicine King Sect, after a brief moment of hesitation, he made his decision.
"I understand, Young Master. Let’s prioritize the revival of our sect," he said with a touch of melancholy.
Li Fan smiled slightly, "Grandmaster Liu, you misunderstood my meaning. I fully support your change in cultivation method. Your advancement and the rise of our sect are not contradictory."
"Just a little preparation is needed."
