Chapter 590: Absolute Doctor Reunion

The Profound Yellow Heart Refining Incantation began to operate on its own. After a few breaths, even the damage to his divine sense had completely vanished.

"Phew..."

"Not only did he effortlessly neutralize my Formless Killing Intent, but he also managed to strike my divine sense from such a distance. If it weren't for the protection of the Carefree Celestial Venerable statue, my Sea of Consciousness would likely have suffered severe damage."

Li Fan looked at the Manifested Celestial Venerable statue in his hand. After emitting a faint white light, it seemed to dissolve and disappeared without a trace.

"Fisherman Elder, a being above the Dao Integration realm, is truly terrifying."

Despite his surprise, Li Fan felt no fear; instead, a hint of excitement flickered in his eyes. He hadn't expected things to progress so smoothly.

After realizing that Han Yi had been moving sluggishly towards the heartland of the Myriad Immortal Alliance and then stopped in Luoyan Province, Li Fan had already vaguely sensed what was about to happen.

Although he had previously used the Cloud Water Illusion Dream Art to secretly plant information about the Azure Wind Imprisoning Sword and the Fisher Elder's whereabouts over the years in Han Yi's mind, intending to relay the news of the Azure Wind Imprisoning Sword to the Fisher Elder through him, Li Fan had expected Han Yi would need additional guidance to find the Fisher Elder across the vast expanse of several provinces.

However, perhaps it was fate, or perhaps some other factor was influencing events from behind the scenes. Han Yi's actions were unexpectedly fast; he took almost no detours, directly pinpointing the Fisher Elder's location.

The Fisher Elder represented a great opportunity that everyone had a share in. Therefore, cultivators in the heartland of the Myriad Immortal Alliance would spontaneously seek his whereabouts. Once found, the news would quickly spread. It was a case of "everyone helps me, I help everyone." The Fisher Elder often stayed in the same area for a period, so his general whereabouts could be verified.

Li Fan, having gone through multiple reincarnations, was naturally well aware of this. Thus, after witnessing the Fisher Elder firsthand through the 'Heaven and Earth Perspective,' Li Fan was even more delighted. He watched as his plan to instigate a war between the Fisher Elder, the Celestial Physician, and the Master was about to succeed.

When he initially implanted the relevant thoughts in Han Yi using the Cloud Water Illusion Dream Art, he also left a wisp of aura containing the "Heavenly Fiend Method" within Han Yi's body. It was a wisp so subtle that even Li Fan himself could barely detect it, but if it were to erupt under Li Fan's deliberate manipulation, he believed that the Fisher Elder would absolutely not ignore it. At that point, he could naturally see the location of the Azure Wind Imprisoning Sword through Han Yi's memories. Similarly, the Fisher Elder would also be able to see the scene of the Celestial Physician appearing in the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace within Han Yi's mind.

Both the Master and the Fisher Elder, Li Fan was certain, harbored an unyielding hatred for the Celestial Physician. After obtaining the Heavenly Fiend Sword and recovering some strength, they would then fight the Celestial Physician. This would presumably create more trouble for the Celestial Physician.

The plan was sound. However, something went wrong with Han Yi.

Even though the Fisher Elder had appeared before him more than ten times, Han Yi consistently failed to notice anything unusual about him. This made Li Fan, who had been following all along, shake his head repeatedly. Yet, he certainly couldn't put himself in danger personally, so he had to patiently continue observing from afar.

Fortunately, although the process deviated somewhat, the outcome ultimately followed the predetermined course. When Han Yi, acting as if he had lost his mind, charged towards the Fisher Elder, even Li Fan couldn't help but secretly applaud his courage. But then, with a casual glance upward from the Fisher Elder, Li Fan had a bad feeling.

"Fortunately, I had made preparations and am no longer the small Foundation Establishment cultivator I once was."

Li Fan, having exhaled and regained his composure, began to ponder his next moves. "If there are no surprises, the Fisher Elder should now know all about the various matters concerning the Congyun Sea. He's currently heading towards the Congyun Sea. When immortals fight, mortals suffer. My true self won't join the fray."

With a thought, Li Fan's attention immediately shifted to his clone, Zhou Qing'ang. At this time, the turmoil in the Congyun Sea had gradually subsided, and cultivators were dedicating most of their energy to cultivation and studying the newly acquired cultivation techniques. The Bureau of Administration was enjoying a rare period of peace.

Without attracting any attention, Li Fan controlled his clone, Zhou Qing'ang, all the way to the exterior of the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace. It was deserted there too, with only a few cultivators occasionally entering and exiting together.

Li Fan pondered for a moment, not rushing into the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, but instead waiting patiently.

Three days later, a sudden gust of wind swept by, making his clothes flutter. Li Fan looked up at the sky. He stretched out his hand, feeling the increasing wind force. A surge of excitement welled up in Li Fan's heart.

"The Fisher Elder is in position, but will the Master come?" Based on his previous observations, Li Fan was almost certain the answer was yes. Just a few wisps of aura emanating from the Celestial Physician's avatar statue were enough to attract the Master. And now, in this life, the Fisher Elder, an old acquaintance, was also present. There was no reason for the Master not to come! Moreover, this time point was already not far from when the Master was supposed to appear. Thus, Li Fan concluded that his scheme for this life had succeeded!

"Next, I need to find a good vantage point." Li Fan took out a gourd of fine wine from his storage ring and patted it with a smile. He then entered the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace.

After completing three trials at light speed, Li Fan did not leave. Instead, he held the good wine and chatted idly with Senior Brother Qin. In reality, he was waiting patiently.

Time passed moment by moment. Senior Brother Qin, naturally, didn't know what boredom was. However, the scene Li Fan had been waiting for did not materialize. A hint of anxiety inevitably crept into his heart.

"Heh heh, Junior Brother, you're truly unkind. On the surface, you're drinking with me, but your mind is clearly elsewhere! Quick, tell me, have you taken a liking to some junior sister? It's alright, tell your Senior Brother all about it. If she's suitable, I can even act as a matchmaker for you! Of course, a senior sister isn't out of the question either!" Senior Brother Qin gulped down a mouthful of wine, half-drunk and half-sober, laughing heartily.

Just as Li Fan was about to reply, he suddenly noticed the entire world shaking violently. Senior Brother Qin, who had been drinking, also stiffened abruptly. He then began to tremble uncontrollably. "Celestial Physician..." There was no trace of drunkenness left in him as he gritted his teeth and spoke.

The illusion shattered layer by layer. When Li Fan reappeared outside the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace's main entrance, the first thing he saw was the scene of the Fisher Elder and the Celestial Physician confronting each other.

Unlike his previous life, in the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, the waves of hatred and wailing that had surged upon seeing the Celestial Physician were much subdued. It was as if some presence made them apprehensive; even with such deep-seated hatred, they dared not freely vent their emotions.

The Fisher Elder gazed at the Celestial Physician, black fiend energy swirling continuously around him like boiling water. However, there was no sign of the Heavenly Fiend Sword fragments in his hand.

Although the Fisher Elder remained silent, the killing intent in his eyes was clearly apparent. Yet, for some unknown reason, he hesitated to act.

The Celestial Physician's expression, on the other hand, was not as serious. He merely showed a somewhat strange expression and said, "Interesting. Tianjue, have you regained your memories?" The Celestial Physician asked.
