The Taishang is nameless, returning to the primordial...
As the technique took effect, the water-attribute spiritual qi gained from cultivating the Lesser Water Manipulation Art slowly dissipated like melting snow, transforming into a pure energy that settled in Li Fan’s dantian.
In less than half a day, the Lesser Water Manipulation Art had been completely dispersed.
Li Fan felt no discomfort whatsoever throughout the process.
This Taishang Primordial True Scripture is truly miraculous. Li Fan marveled, then flew to the edge of the island protection array.
It works! This method is effective!
Sensing the pervasive killing mechanisms outside suddenly weaken, Li Fan felt a wave of relief.
Unfortunately, I cultivated the Thousand Mechanisms Jade Cosmos Scripture using the new methodology of plundering heaven and earth. Though the world’s malice decreased significantly, it hasn’t completely vanished, perhaps due to how I approached cultivating the technique.
Realizing that venturing out would still pose a life-threatening risk, Li Fan steeled himself and chose to continue dissolving his cultivation.
Soon, another stream of pure energy joined the first in his dantian.
Though the two energies originated from different techniques, they merged without conflict.
According to the Taishang Primordial True Scripture, this pure energy from dissolved cultivation can remain in the dantian for nearly a hundred years.
Li Fan’s cultivation level had now reverted to that of a mortal, but he wasn’t overly concerned.
As long as I return to Myriad Immortals Island, I can quickly cultivate back to my previous strength.
Without further hesitation, Li Fan piloted the Taiyan Boat and slowly flew out of the island protection array.
Volatile, scorching spiritual qi raged outside, dyeing the distant sky a fiery orange-red.
But Li Fan was now a mere mortal. The rampaging spiritual qi swept past him, but no attack came.
Li Fan let out a breath he hadn’t realized he’d been holding. Setting his course, he pushed the Taiyan Boat to its maximum speed, racing toward Myriad Immortals Island.
Along the way, he passed by numerous islands.
All of them were utterly devoid of life; the mortals on these islands had all perished.
A cold dread settled in Li Fan’s heart, and he urged the vessel onward.
Three months later, Li Fan arrived at the coordinates where Myriad Immortals Island should have been.
He consulted his map, checking and rechecking four or five times, but still could not believe his eyes.
The once-vast Myriad Immortals Island had vanished completely.
All that remained was a massive, gaping black hole that hung over the sea.
