Chapter 631: Hundred Refined Immortal Heart

That was a wild operating speed Li Fan had never experienced since he began cultivating the Heart Refining Incantation.

It was as if a special switch had been triggered; the efficiency of the Profound Yellow Heart Refining Incantation had increased by more than a thousand times compared to before.

If Li Fan's previous self-attempts were like a slow, large millstone pulled by a donkey, now the Profound Yellow Heart Refining Incantation was like a roaring, thunderous machine, absorbing all the countless real and illusory experiences that had suddenly appeared in Li Fan's mind.

Setting things right and clarifying the source!

It was like a basin of ice water poured over his head, completely cooling down the intense heat.

Li Fan gradually recovered from his trance and confusion.

“This…”

In an instant, Li Fan understood what had just happened to him, his heart filled with dread.

He hadn't expected the backlash from the complete "Chaos" character technique to be so terrifying.

Once formed, its power was many times stronger than the "practice" he had attempted earlier, which was just short of completion.

With the "Chaos" character complete, it was as if a qualitative change had occurred; its power was incomparable to its fragmented form.

“If even the backlash is this terrifying, then its actual effect…”

Li Fan suppressed the turmoil in his body and mind and looked up at the sky.

He saw a slight distortion in the scene where rainwater and corpses had been falling.

It was as if an invisible void existed, and as the rain and bodies approached it, they all vanished into thin air.

But after devouring the eerie rainwater, the range of the distorted void seemed to slowly diminish.

Thus, the two seemed to be in a state of mutual balance, constantly canceling each other out.

Finally, when no more raindrops fell from the sky, the effects of the "Chaos" character technique also vanished.

A disheveled figure fell from the sky. It was Senior Yin.

His body was now semi-transparent, and he stared blankly at Li Fan with an expression of disbelief.

He wanted to say something, opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Senior Yin looked down at himself, seemed to understand something, and ceased his futile attempts.

His body became increasingly faint, yet there was no fear of impending demise on his face.

Instead, there was a sense of liberation and relief.

A moment later, Senior Yin completely vanished from this world.

Li Fan had no time to celebrate his narrow escape.

Driven by an increasingly strong sense of crisis, he suppressed his injuries, activated the Heaven-Shrouding Secret Art, and employed his evasion technique to its maximum, swiftly departing the area.

Shortly after Li Fan departed, an immensely powerful divine sense seemed to descend.

The scene on the nearby seabed rewound as if time were flowing backward, continuously playing back the past.

However, just as Li Fan's figure was about to become visible, a crack appeared out of thin air.

Then two, three, and countless more fissures appeared one after another.

The scene was immediately disrupted.

The rewound scene shattered like a mirror, returning to normal.

The divine sense lingered for a long time, as if contemplating something.

It then silently swept across the entire Congyun Sea but ultimately found no anomalies.

Afterward, it completely fell silent.

At this time, Li Fan, who had not yet returned to Congyun City, dug out a piece of ore from the seabed beneath his feet. Feigning excitement, he stored it in his storage ring.

He continued to pretend to mine for a long time until the sense of crisis in his heart completely subsided, only then stopping his disguise.

Just moments ago, as he was rapidly returning to Congyun City, an unprecedented sense of crisis suddenly struck him; his heart pounded violently, as if he would perish in the next second.

He had no time to think; first, he withdrew his Heaven-Shrouding disguise, then activated the Esoteric Profound True Spirit Transformation, instantly transforming into the appearance of another cultivator.

He pretended to be mining ore on the seabed.

As expected, his premonition was accurate. A moment later, he felt as if he was being spied upon.

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart, acting as if he hadn't noticed anything.

Although it was incredibly perilous, he ultimately evaded the other party's detection.

“The 'Chaos' character technique, the Profound Yellow Heart Refining Incantation, the eerie 'Restore Me' rain. And this immensely powerful divine sense…”

On his way back to Congyun City, Li Fan continuously pondered the connections between these elements.

“If I hadn't inadvertently used the 'Chaos' character technique, I almost certainly wouldn't have been able to escape the eerie rain. There would have been only one path: reverting to reality.”

“But I didn't expect that the 'Chaos' character technique could actually eliminate the eerie rain.”

In Li Fan's view, Senior Yin and the rain that brought countless identical corpses were extremely similar to the oddities of the Profound Yellow Realm.

Both were illogical, rules outside of rules.

Yet, this kind of oddity, which was said to be unchangeable and unresolvable, was actually dealt with by the "Chaos" character technique.

What does this imply?

Li Fan kept recalling the process of the "Restore Me" rain's disappearance.

“Chaos… chaos…”

“Rather than being resolved, it was more like…”

“Chaos upon chaos, canceling each other out?”

Li Fan's heart stirred, and a bold hypothesis instantly emerged in his mind.

“Could it be that the root of all oddities in the world comes from this 'Chaos' character?”

Once this thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed. At the same time, an inexplicable dread filled his heart.

“The 'Chaos' character I saw on the stone in the mist back then, its power seems to have completely faded with the passage of time.”

“But undoubtedly, it was the culprit that destroyed that misty world.”

“If it were the original 'Chaos' character technique, possessing its full power…”

Li Fan's eyes narrowed.

“Furthermore, it seems that powerful figures in the Profound Yellow Realm are extremely concerned about this 'Chaos' character technique. Upon sensing its aura, they will descend to investigate.”

“It seems best to use it as little as possible in the future, unless it's an absolute last resort or a matter of life and death.”

Li Fan mused to himself.

After all, he had achieved Nascent Soul through the Five Elements Grotto-Heaven, making his Five Elements power inexhaustible and his recovery abilities terrifyingly strong.

By the time Li Fan returned to Congyun City, his injuries had fully recovered, and there was no visible abnormality.

As for the "Eons' Glimpses" that had appeared in his mind, they were all absorbed and resolved thanks to the Profound Yellow Heart Refining Incantation operating at full capacity.

What puzzled Li Fan was that, by rights, absorbing so many distracting thoughts should have nourished his spiritual soul, according to his previous experience.

However, from that moment until now, Li Fan had not felt any increase in his spiritual soul power.

“Could it have been used to repair unseen hidden wounds within my spiritual soul?”

Li Fan felt somewhat perplexed and examined himself carefully.

The Profound Yellow Heart Refining Incantation's operating speed had now gradually returned to normal, but Li Fan keenly noticed that the incantation seemed somewhat different.

This feeling was like a sublimation had occurred, yet it wasn't entirely complete.

Li Fan's heart stirred, and driven by intuition, he opened the "Revert to Reality" panel, staring intently at the cultivation technique description.

The Profound Yellow Heart Refining Incantation, originally ranked first, had silently changed its name.

Profound Yellow Immortal Heart Incantation (Incomplete).

Li Fan's pupils suddenly constricted, his heart shaking immensely.
