Chapter 720: Stone Disk Finally Obtained

“Brother Dongfang, there’s no need to be overly sad. Although Brother Huangfu suffered a terrible misfortune, thankfully, the Samsara Palace now exists. He will have a chance to revive after all.” Li Fan sighed deeply and offered comfort.

He then summoned a new Purewood True Vessel and pulled Dongfang Yao, who was still immersed in sorrow, into it.

He then released the Sky Measuring Mirror.

After the exploration records from the spiritual mist domain had finished synchronizing, Li Fan looked at his slightly over one hundred thousand Azure Profound Points and the Final Stone Disk, which hadn't been redeemed by anyone yet. He immediately chose to redeem it.

His accumulated Azure Profound Points instantly vanished.

Then, accompanied by a faint white glow, a heavy, gray disc appeared in Li Fan's hand.

“This is the Final Stone Disk?”

It was palm-sized. Li Fan weighed it in his hand, flipping it over, and studied it for a moment.

Indeed, just as its name suggested, it looked no different from an ordinary stone. Neither divine sense nor spiritual energy elicited any reaction from it.

“I wonder how the Heaven Overturning Society in the previous life figured out how to use it.”

However, Li Fan knew this was not something to rush. He had plenty of time in this life to slowly figure it out. For now, he put it away. He then took out Huangfu Song's belongings, which he had collected earlier, and laid them out one by one before him.

Besides the Sky Measuring Mirror and the Disintegration Disk, there were also two storage rings.

“Brother Dongfang, do you know if Huangfu has any close relatives still alive?” Li Fan asked.

Dongfang Yao's mind settled a little. He shook his head slightly and said, “Like me, he was unattached, with no one to worry about and no one depending on him.”

Upon hearing this, Li Fan couldn't help but frown. “Then these items…”

Dongfang Yao took just one look and decided, “Brother Li, you retrieved Huangfu’s belongings at great personal risk. For now, please keep them. When we find Huangfu’s reincarnation in the future, we can hand them over to him then.”

Li Fan sighed softly, “It seems there’s no other way. But the Xuanhuang Realm is so vast, and who knows where Huangfu might reincarnate eighteen years from now. If he’s still within the Immortal Alliance’s territory, it won’t be too difficult. At most, it will take some effort to find him. I just fear he might reincarnate in the Five Elders’ Council’s domain…”

“The Samsara Palace has so many fancy contraptions. There must be something among them that can track the approximate location of a true spirit’s reincarnation. With Brother Huangfu’s death, I no longer wish to explore the white mist. Once we return, I’ll inquire about this. We must find Brother Huangfu as soon as possible,” Dongfang Yao said gravely.

“I’ll ask someone too. Brother Shuofeng might know,” Li Fan suggested.

Following this, the two returned from the depths of the white mist.

They first arrived at the Cosmic Courtyard in Tianyu State and informed them of Huangfu Song’s unfortunate demise.

Li Fan had met the receiving cultivator once before; it was Shangguan Shi, who was lean.

After all, they had been colleagues for many years. Shangguan Shi looked somber upon hearing the news and sighed, “I will inform Dean Ji about this. Thank you both for your trouble!”

Dongfang Yao’s face was filled with shame, feeling he had no face to stay longer. He cupped his hands in a salute and hurried away.

After leaving the Cosmic Courtyard, he immediately bid farewell to Li Fan. He left a communication talisman and went off to inquire about information concerning the Samsara Palace.

“This Dongfang Yao is quite a passionate person,” Li Fan mused to himself, watching the other’s retreating figure gradually disappear.

Li Fan did not return to Longevity Valley, but headed straight for Tianquan State.

During the time he was exploring the white mist, Shuofeng had sent him messages multiple times, inviting him to spar.

However, Li Fan had politely declined each time, citing his entrapment in the white mist and inability to get away.

After all, he was still an honorary guest of the Xuan Family. Although Shuofeng hadn’t explicitly said anything, Li Fan’s repeated refusals had inevitably led to a subtle change in the other’s tone.

So, now that Li Fan had free time, he immediately contacted Shuofeng. After all, his status as an honorary guest of the Xuan Family still seemed useful at present. Maintaining this status only required a few spars, which wasn’t much trouble.

Shuofeng was currently located in a separate courtyard within Tianquan City.

This courtyard was also a gift from his mother, Immortal Venerable Feixue. Compared to Shuofeng Mountain in the suburbs, although its area was smaller, its price was more than ten times higher.

Furthermore, even with enough contribution points, it was impossible to purchase without certain connections.

Upon arriving at the cave-dwelling district in the center of Tianquan City, one could look up and see the core area of the towering Bureau of Administration in the city. A female cultivator in a long red dress was already waiting outside.

It wasn't the yellow-dressed female cultivator Zhi Jin he had met before, but someone new.

Li Fan remained composed, and followed the red-dressed female cultivator into the courtyard.

“How frustrating! Now that the Samsara Palace exists, cultivators can all be resurrected, yet my mother still imposes so many restrictions on me.” Shuofeng’s somewhat annoyed voice could be heard from afar.

The red-dressed female cultivator’s expression showed no change whatsoever, as if she hadn’t heard Shuofeng’s complaints at all. After leading Li Fan there, she bowed and withdrew.

“Haha, Brother Li, long time no see!”

However, Li Fan was not greeted with a warm embrace, but with a flash of white sword light!

Li Fan’s eyes flashed. With a thought, he manifested a blue water sword in front of him, blocking the attack.

Amidst the sound of the explosion, Li Fan said loudly, “Congratulations, Brother Shuo, for solving the problem of not being able to make the first move.”

“It seems my Thread-Pulling Divine Ability is no match for Brother Shuo anymore.”

Flying over to Shuofeng, and seeing the situation in the field clearly, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Fan’s eyes.

Shuofeng was still dressed in simple clothes, but a greenish-blue willow-leaf flying dagger was suspended above his head.

The tip of the dagger wasn't pointed at Li Fan, but directly at Shuofeng’s own head below!

“Haha, Brother Li, what do you think of my method? Since the sword refuses to strike first, I force it to act. With a flying blade above my head, my life hangs by a thread. It is one with me, and when I am threatened, it will instinctively counterattack. Then I can control the sword light it unleashes to defend against enemies,” Shuofeng glanced at the flying dagger above his head and said with a triumphant air.

“To think of such a brilliant method, Brother Shuo truly possesses extraordinary talent,” Li Fan praised, playing along.

At the same time, he looked at a cultivator sitting beside Shuofeng.

He had sword-like brows and starry eyes, appearing valiant and extraordinary. Though still somewhat lacking compared to Xu Bai’s peerless beauty, he could certainly be considered an outstanding individual.

Although this was Li Fan’s first encounter with him in this life, he was not unfamiliar with him.

This was precisely Tantai Tao, the formation array genius who had died under unforeseen circumstances during the formation array training camp in the previous life.

In this life, that unexpected turn of events had not occurred, so he was still alive.

“Who is this?” Li Fan asked Shuofeng, feigning ignorance.

“Brother Tantai is a rare formation array genius of this age; you should make his acquaintance,” Shuofeng briefly introduced him to Li Fan.

“A pleasure to meet you!” Tantai Tao said with a gentle expression, greeting Li Fan.

After some pleasantries, the three chatted about the Samsara Palace.
