CHAPTER 1936: CHAPTER 1524: TRANS-TEMPORAL ANCHOR POINT

"Could it be that it’s because I have never experienced this era? Without an anchor point for support, the resistance has increased a thousandfold?" Li Fan, with the blessing of the heart, had such thoughts arise within him.

Yet even knowing the sudden surge’s cause in the temporal river, Li Fan was now riding a tiger and unable to dismount.

The river of time was murky, hard to discern up and down, east and west. The enormous scouring force constantly "cut" at Li Fan.

Making it nearly impossible for him to find a safe time node to "land."

Amidst the raging waves, the light of the reverse boat grew ever dimmer, teetering on the verge of collapse.

It seemed that at any moment, the boat would capsize and die.

At this critical moment, suddenly, innumerable green lights surged unexpectedly.

Like a Wind Stabilizing Pearl, temporarily suppressing the storm in the river.

This green light seemed to come from within Li Fan, yet in the endless river of time, there were countless green dots like stars, shining simultaneously from ancient times to the present.

Like towering lighthouses, pointing the way forward for Li Fan.

Though its effect seemed slightly inferior to that of his own anchor point, it was undoubtedly Li Fan’s lifeline.

The reverse boat traveled forward in the direction of the green light.

A hundred years, three hundred years, five hundred years.

Up to a thousand years, five thousand years...

The green light on Li Fan’s body began to deplete.

The green beacons of the river grew dim again, gradually re-hidden within the vast history.

Yet Li Fan continued to find no safe landing outside the green light’s cover.

"If at this moment, I forcibly leave the river of time and return to the real world, two outcomes are possible."

"One is the unfortunate end of falling to death, becoming dust in the scouring of time."

"The second, a lucky success to land..."

"Let’s wait a little longer."

Although most of Li Fan’s reverse trip experience came from the heritage of Emperor Tai Tian, their encounters in the river of time were vastly different.

Li Fan had gone through even more turbulent waves, yet conversely, he felt little of the erosion and stripping sensation of the river of time that Emperor Tai Tian dreaded.

It should be known, Emperor Tai Tian’s first reverse trip barely lasted three thousand years before feeling entirely dissolved in the river of time and had to return to reality.

And now, Li Fan’s first attempt already backtracked several thousand years, and he still felt little of the so-called deprivation pressure.

If it weren’t for the protection and guidance of the Eternal Life Path, the waves in the river were too turbulent to navigate upstream.

Li Fan even felt that he could keep backtracking like this.

Though the erosion felt minimal, the further back in time he went, the greater the pressure Li Fan felt.

When time regressed to about eight thousand years ago,

The river’s waves were sky-high, having entirely lost the conditions for navigation.

Li Fan was swept into it, even unable to discern the flow of time.

He observed every detail in the river, striving to find a thread of vitality in the final moment.

Yet he was ultimately not someone fortunate.

Bang!

The reverse boat began to disintegrate. Without the treasure boat’s protection, Li Fan directly exposed to the river of time faced pressure multiplied countless times.

Li Fan finally understood what Emperor Tai Tian’s melting sensation was.

Each scour of the river caused Li Fan to lose something.

Cultivation base, divine technique, enlightenment insights...

All these, like attachments, gradually detached with the scouring of the river.

Only the inner core continued to persist bitterly.

When the true inner core was damaged, Li Fan instinctively felt an extreme mortal threat, knowing he could not delay any longer. Even landing recklessly was better than dying in the river of time.

Operating the battered reverse boat, Li Fan gradually disengaged from the insights of the Path of Reverse Flow.

The scene of the river of time slowly faded from view, replaced by an overwhelming downpour.

In an instant, Li Fan was almost lost in direction.

In the junction of the river of time and reality, he was caught in a dilemma.

Proceeding hastily might dive back into the river of time again, remaining there was still within the river’s range of scouring, where the inner core continually eroded, was also a dead end.

Just when Li Fan hesitated for a moment, suddenly, he saw a trace of familiar light in the overwhelming rain before him.

This might mean that he had previously encountered this light in a time node eight thousand years later.

Though it didn’t exist in past times, this encounter formed an anchor point across time.

Li Fan knew how hard it was to find something related to himself in the overwhelming storm eight thousand years ago.

Not wasting any opportunity, Li Fan did not hesitate anymore. He immediately operated the rickety reverse boat to escape toward the fleeting light.

With the anchor point as guidance, before the reverse boat completely disintegrated, Li Fan finally crossed the time river’s storm.

Came to the real world.

Xuanhuang World.

Eight thousand six hundred and forty-three years before the initial anchor point!

"That stream of light... is the Medicine King Sect?! How dare they run?"

"Quick, notify the elders!"

"Wait! Although the Medicine King Sect is not large, they are quite affluent. They can’t possibly take all the treasures in a rush..."

"Hurry up. Don’t let others beat us to it!"

"Wait, what is that? Why is there another stream of light?"

"Could the Medicine King Sect have had a disagreement and decided not to run?"

"Let’s go check!"

...

When Li Fan awoke from his stupor, he was already surrounded.
