Chapter 223: Flying Roc Transport Begins to Change

"No wonder Zhang Haobo, a common man with no background, managed to cultivate a Golden Core in just over ten years in my previous life."

"No wonder he, merely a Golden Core cultivator, could mobilize the power of the entire Congyun Sea to unleash the world-shaking Twenty-Eight Swords of Congyun."

Ye Feipeng's eyes revealed a look of sudden realization.

According to the records in the jade slip, this corpse belonged to a cultivator who, in life, was skilled in the art of sensing the qi movements of heaven and earth.

Although this person's cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, by a stroke of luck, they discovered an astonishing secret in a certain ruin within the Congyun Sea.

The vast and boundless Congyun Sea was, in fact, formed by the strike of an ancient mighty being's palm.

This cultivator spent more than a decade excavating ancient strata and observing the palm print's traces. They finally gained insight and comprehended a divine ability:

The Sea-Overturning Divine Palm.

Furthermore, through years of comprehending the qi movements of heaven and earth, this cultivator speculated that the Congyun Sea might have developed its own consciousness over the long years, due to that world-shaking palm strike.

Unfortunately, before he could personally confirm this, he succumbed to qi deviation and died while meditating on heaven and earth.

Before his death, he only had time to record this information into a jade slip, leaving it for those destined to find it.

He then passed away with regret.

Comparing the contents of the jade slip with his knowledge from his previous life, Ye Feipeng finally understood after a thorough verification.

"Heaven sought to burn the sea, but the sea resisted."

"Chi Yan was the executor of Heaven's will, and Zhang Haobo was the executor of the Congyun Sea's will."

"Perhaps Zhang Haobo alone was no match for Chi Yan."

"Zhang Haobo himself knew this. So he herded the winds and soared above myriad immortals, seizing the opportunity to meet Immortal Monarch Hongxi of Myriad Immortal Island."

"He prematurely revealed the news of Chi Yan burning the sea a few years in advance."

"The allure of the 'Soul of Heaven and Earth' was almost irresistible to Soul Transformation cultivators."

"Thus, five Soul Transformation Immortal Monarchs took action together, with one Dao Integration Immortal Venerable overseeing the formation. Such a formidable lineup was indeed well-planned and confident."

"Yet, they never expected that a Golden Core cultivator would ultimately 'steal the peaches'."

"With merely Golden Core cultivation, he manipulated the many powerful figures of Myriad Immortal Island with ease."

"Brilliant, truly brilliant!"

Ye Feipeng couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

His gaze then filled with greed: "What a pity that in this life, it will all benefit me instead!"

With a single palm strike, he pulverized the skull and the jade slip. Ye Feipeng's aura suddenly changed.

"It seems the key to this life lies in how to attract the attention of the Congyun Sea's will."

"It is said that Zhang Haobo, during his cultivation, was constantly accompanied by wind disasters. From initially chasing the wind, to cutting the wind, and finally herding the wind."

"In this process, he grew stronger step by step. It must have been his confrontation with the wind disasters that drew the Congyun Sea's attention."

"I, Ye Feipeng, can naturally emulate him."

Ye Feipeng, intent on drawing out the Congyun Sea's consciousness, was unaware that the moment he shattered the jade slip, his destiny, like a white mist, was spinning wildly.

As if something from outside was being drawn in by this vortex, the white mist slowly began to show unusual colors.

Li Fan, who was observing all this while cultivating the *Heaven-Stealing and Sun-Shifting Art*, couldn't help but nod.

"As expected, destiny shifts with its operation, one change leading to a hundred."

"It's taking off so quickly; my meticulous planning hasn't been in vain."

Li Fan, whose Foundation Establishment treasure had now transformed into the Azure Sea Pearl, could vaguely sense something further.

The sea around Ye Feipeng seemed slightly more active than in ordinary areas.

This difference was minuscule, so much so that even powerful cultivators with profound strength might not be able to perceive it.

Only Li Fan, possessing the Azure Sea Pearl from the same origin, could faintly detect it.

"The plan has begun to proceed as intended. Now, let's see how this little fatty develops."

Li Fan watched Ye Feipeng, whose expression was constantly changing as he pondered something unknown, and smiled faintly.

His divine sense swept over Zhang Haobo, who stood on the bow of the Cangyuan, his expression infinitely bewildered.

Li Fan mused to himself, "Although I don't expect Zhang Haobo to stir things up in this life, his talent is considerable after all. It would be a real pity if he didn't join the Revival Immortals."

"Hmm, once my clone returns from Jiushan State, I can have Xiao Heng make a trip."

Quietly returning to the Sky-Mystic Mirror, Li Fan, as usual, checked Zhang Qianmo's combat record in the 'Sitting and Debating the Dao' arena.

It had already increased to thirty-six wins and six draws.

There was still no method that could break through the Purple Core Nirvana.

The few draws were achieved only by relying on formidable combat power to fight Zhang Qianmo to a stalemate.

Li Fan, however, could not emulate this.

In any case, he wasn't in a hurry; he had plenty of time.

With the Soul Transformation Dao activated, Li Fan once again simultaneously cultivated and studied array formations.

***

Jiushan State.

In front of Tianchang Mountain.

Li Fan's clone and his group, after more than half a year of long-distance travel, finally reached their destination.

Even Qingmu, a Nascent Soul True Monarch, now had a face full of fatigue.

Li Fan had also finally experienced firsthand just how vast a single state in the Xuanhuang World truly was.

Without omnipresent teleportation arrays, a Foundation Establishment cultivator would need at least five or six months to fly from one end to the other.

This was assuming everything went smoothly and without any danger.

In reality, the journey had been far from peaceful.

During half a year of travel and casual conversations with the others, Li Fan had also gained a general understanding of the specific situation in Jiushan State.

The nine mountain ranges of Jiushan State are rumored to have formed from the nine meridians of a certain exotic beast after its death in ancient times.

The nine mountains traverse the land, each possessing its own mystery, yet all are interconnected.

They seem to form an incredibly vast array formation.

Due to this influence, teleportation arrays are extremely unstable.

They might explode shortly after being built.

Or, the coordinates of the teleportation destination might mutate, sending one to an entirely unfamiliar place.

There was even once an unfortunate cultivator who, hoping for luck, insisted on trying to use a teleportation array.

As a result, he was directly teleported outside the Xuanhuang World and never returned.

It was precisely for this reason that after conquering Jiushan State, the Myriad Immortal Alliance found the cost of management too high.

Furthermore, the area was relatively barren, lacking precious resources.

They simply abandoned the method of building numerous garrison cities.

Instead, they only constructed nine cities, one at each pass in the nine mountain ranges, and assigned personnel to guard them.

The plains between the nine mountain ranges, however, were a chaotic mix of people, attracting all sorts of ill-intentioned individuals.

Among them were indigenous forces of Jiushan State and external factions secretly supported by the Five Elders Association.

Li Fan's group consisted mostly of members from within the Myriad Immortal Alliance system.

With True Monarch Qingmu, a Nascent Soul cultivator, holding down the fort, these individuals were somewhat restrained.

They only encountered seven or eight attacks throughout the journey.

All were successfully repelled.

It is said that if an ordinary cultivator had rashly entered Jiushan State, they would have long since been stripped of their skin, bones, and possessions.

The Myriad Immortal Alliance, however, bothered little with this chaotic situation.

Naturally, there were deeper reasons for this.
