Chapter 630: Random Interpretations and Recurring Rain Danger

"All sorts of extraordinary events in the world—shifting landscapes, the Essence-Devouring White Mist, the Immortal-Mortal Miasma..."

"Ever since the Heavenly Venerate imparted his teachings, it's been one after another, an endless parade of phenomena."

"From that day on, I've done everything in my power to try and uncover the secrets behind all this."

Senior Yin's voice was deep, and his expression was distant.

Li Fan listened intently.

But what followed was a long silence.

After a long pause, Senior Yin turned his head to look at Li Fan, a mocking expression on his face. "Are you expecting me to tell you the answer?"

"What are you thinking?"

"I'm merely an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. Just the secrets of the Immortal-Mortal Miasma alone have exhausted all my energy. As for the rest..." Senior Yin sneered, "I'm not interested in those."

Li Fan, unfazed, calmly said, "In that case, Senior, could you enlighten me about the mysteries of the Immortal-Mortal Miasma?"

"Alright," Senior Yin readily agreed.

"The Immortal-Mortal Miasma, it is..." Midway through his sentence, his expression suddenly changed.

His face filled with contempt, he spat and glared at Li Fan. "Are you even worthy? You, a selfish cultivator who disregards life! Letting you know about his deeds would be a great blasphemy to him! I'd rather his actions be completely buried by history, forever unknown to the world! Otherwise, people like you wouldn't feel admiration; instead, you'd secretly mock him..." Senior Yin seemed to become highly agitated, looking at Li Fan as if he were an enemy.

Li Fan's gaze towards Senior Yin slowly turned cold.

He immediately activated the Insect Binding Divine Ability to subdue him and search his soul. At the same time, he was prepared for Senior Yin to suddenly erupt and reveal his true strength.

The result was surprisingly smooth. Without any resistance, Senior Yin was captured and rendered immobile.

But a moment later, Li Fan's expression subtly changed.

He suddenly realized that the "Senior Yin" held by the Insect Binding Divine Ability had, in an instant, lost all signs of life and turned into a corpse. Li Fan immediately looked at the other corpses in the basement.

He saw that the corpses, which had previously been piled haphazardly like rotting flesh on the ground, now all raised their heads. All of them stared at Li Fan, revealing grotesque smiles.

"Playing tricks!" Li Fan was not startled by the eerie scene. He snorted coldly, and the Five Elements Grotto-Heaven Domain instantly enveloped Yinyin Island. The power of the Five Elements circulated seamlessly, like a massive chain, intending to suppress all the hundreds of corpses present.

However, even before Li Fan could make his move, Senior Yin's "corpses" within the Grotto-Heaven Domain mysteriously lost all signs of life and utterly perished. This left Li Fan feeling frustrated, as if he had punched thin air.

His divine sense swept across the entire island, searching for Senior Yin's whereabouts. But at this moment, apart from Li Fan, there was no other living being on the island.

"Committed suicide? I don't believe it!"

Li Fan narrowed his eyes. The power of the Grotto-Heaven exerted pressure, grinding all the corpses on the ground into dust one after another. But even after they had all vanished completely, nothing unusual happened.

It was as if Senior Yin had truly perished. But Li Fan didn't relax in the slightest; instead, his vigilance grew.

Drip...

Hearing the sound in his ear, Li Fan's pupils sharply contracted. He extended his hand, and a drop of rain appeared out of thin air above him. It then fell into his palm.

Splish, splash...

The rain grew heavier, and slowly, dark figures accompanied the raindrops, falling from above. They were corpses, some tattered, some complete!

What chilled Li Fan even more was that the faces of these corpses were no longer Senior Yin's. They were his own! After falling to the ground, the corpses writhed and struggled in incredibly bizarre postures, lifting their heads. Just like Senior Yin had done moments before, they stared fixedly at him! Their faces also bore sinister, anomalous smiles.

"What in the world is this..."

Li Fan's heart sank.

No longer holding back, with a thought, the Heaven-Shattering Heart Sword instantly flashed in the basement. Sword light crisscrossed, pulverizing the corpses scattered across the floor.

"Heheheh..."

As they vanished, eerie laughter emanated from their mouths, as if in unseen mockery. During the brief disappearance of the corpses, Li Fan's figure flickered, and he instantly left Yinyin Island, trying to escape the entanglement of these bizarre bodies.

But...

Drip.

Drip.

Even though he had flown hundreds of miles in an instant, Li Fan still felt cold raindrops falling on his face.

This time, Li Fan switched to the Reverse Five Elements Creation-Destruction Sword. Countless corpses had just fallen from the sky when Li Fan annihilated them with his sword light. However, Li Fan's expression grew even more grim.

He discovered that dealing with these corpses seemed to require slightly more effort than before. Even though it was an almost imperceptible difference, there was indeed an increase in consumption. As the rain continued to fall, Li Fan's repeated process of eliminating the corpses confirmed his suspicion.

"Troublesome..."

Li Fan's face turned somewhat unpleasant. He had tried almost every method he currently possessed, yet he still couldn't shake off the entanglement of these bizarre corpses.

Moreover, the corpses, which increasingly resembled him, seemed to be constantly "growing stronger," becoming more difficult to deal with. If this continued...

"Could I be forced to use the 'Return to Truth' ability?" Li Fan frowned. Suddenly, Li Fan glanced at the 'Return to Truth' panel, noticing a divine ability he had never fully utilized. "Might as well try it. Let's give it a shot."

So, when the cold rain began to fall from the sky once more, facing countless grotesquely smiling corpses, Li Fan's expression became serious. Using his hand as a brush, he swiftly wrote the character "Chaos" in the air.

The moment the "Chaos" Character Art took form, Li Fan felt his spiritual energy surge violently within him. As if under immense pressure, the Five Elements Grotto-Heaven continuously emitted strange creaking sounds. Even the normal circulation of the Five Elements' power was affected.

Within the Wood-attributed Grotto-Heaven, powers of Water, Fire, Metal, and Earth emerged. The same happened in the other Grotto-Heavens. The Five Elements Grotto-Heaven, still in its nascent stage, instantly plunged into utter chaos. All sorts of bizarre and peculiar phenomena began to occur.

However, Li Fan, as the master of the Grotto-Heaven, could no longer attend to himself. Countless illusions instantly appeared before his eyes. No, rather than illusions, it was more like he personally experienced hundreds or thousands of cycles of reincarnation in that instant. The distinct experiences of each cycle now appeared vividly real in his mind. As if he had split into countless selves, Li Fan felt his head was about to explode.

Just at this critical juncture, the Profound Yellow Heart Refining Mantra, which had been silently operating automatically, suddenly surged wildly.
