Li Fan searched his memories for information on the Purple Firmament Thunder Invocation Art, but came up empty.
Although his cultivation was at the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm, there was no trace of a Curio of heaven and earth within his body.
The Great Reformation had not yet descended; immortal techniques could still be shared. The Immortal-Mortal Miasma had not yet appeared either.
So I'm at this time point...
According to Chen Ying, different regions within the Fallen Immortal Realm could exist at different time points.
The period in which Li Fan now found himself was relatively tranquil for the cultivation world. From this perspective, his starting circumstances this time around appeared rather favorable.
His thoughts churned throughout the journey. After resting on the purple cloud for most of the day, Li Fan and Zhang Qianmo finally neared their destination: Ningyuan City.
Zhang Qianmo stretched and stood up.
"Junior Brother, let’s discuss something." Zhang Qianmo looked at Li Fan with a playful grin. "I haven't seen my beloved Chi Xia for years. The itch in my heart is unbearable; I can't wait another moment! So..."
He winked at Li Fan.
"I'll leave this trivial matter of collecting the longevity fruit to you."
Without waiting for a response, he patted Li Fan's shoulder and transformed into a purple streak of light, shooting downward.
It’s better that we act separately. This helps me avoid revealing any flaws.
This was exactly what Li Fan wanted. He controlled the Purple Firmament Flying Cloud and slowly descended.
"Which Senior Brother has come this time?"
Before he even landed, he saw another purple streak of light approach him slowly. The aura fluctuations from the other party’s technique were extremely similar to the Purple Firmament Thunder Invocation Art, just significantly weaker.
The figure halted. Li Fan looked over and saw a middle-aged man wearing gray Daoist robes. He appeared to be at the late-stage Qi Refinement realm.
The man seemed to recognize Li Fan. After getting a clear look at his features, he cupped his hands respectfully. "So it's Senior Brother Li himself. Forgive me for failing to greet you properly!"
At that moment, information about this person flashed through Li Fan's mind.
"Song Hesong, outer disciple of the Purple Firmament Sect, manager of Ningyuan City."
Li Fan said coldly, "No need for pleasantries. Official business takes priority.” He showed a haughty expression, adopting the demeanor he recalled from his memories. "Take me to retrieve the longevity fruit."
Song Hesong didn't take offense. The status gap between outer and inner disciples was vast. Moreover, Li Chen had reached the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm.
That Song Hesong could even address him as "Senior Brother" was only due to the privilege afforded by his position as manager of Ningyuan City.
Not daring to delay, he immediately ushered Li Fan into Ningyuan City, which seemed to be enveloped in an invisible barrier.
After passing through it, Li Fan's gaze sharpened, fixing intently on the sky above.
