CHAPTER 2038: CHAPTER 1583: SURVIVING IN DESPERATE SITUATIONS

The fleeting radiance Li Fan saw outside was caused by the explosion of everyone’s collective will.

"I knew it, with the support of Lord Guardian Hill’s phantom, there’s no reason for the Rotten Stump Dojo to fall so quickly. So it’s these people causing trouble..."

As the actual owner of the Rotten Stump Dojo today, Li Fan was not angered by this. What truly concerned him was the abnormality within the ancestral realm of the Immortal Boat.

Even with everyone’s protection, the collision between the collective will and Dao Yan will still cause a nearly apocalyptic disaster to the ancestral realm of the Immortal Boat. Therefore, integrating the will also requires allocating a portion of the power to petrify the world for its safety.

Every act of world-saving is a tremendous consumption for the integrated will.

Within a century, when the accumulation of Dao Yan reaches its limit again, there must be enough successors who sacrifice themselves to infuse their will. This ensures the strength of the integrated will. Otherwise, the ancestral realm of the Immortal Boat will face annihilation.

Previously, Li Fan learned from the Cheng Dao that the total "potential" of any single possibility might be fixed and unchanging. With every prodigious talent born, the potential pool will be reduced. The number of strongmen that can be born in any single possibility is limited.

This principle can be likened to a certain world.

Even the peculiar Xuanhuang World doesn’t always have an age filled with strong figures and populated with geniuses. From a historical perspective, after a flourishing period of cultivation, it will inevitably fall into a low tide. Until the birth of a peerless genius heralds the arrival of a new era.

According to common sense, the legacy of the ancestral realm of the Immortal Boat cannot support such a continuous and uninterrupted birth of geniuses.

The time flow rate in the ancestral realm of the Immortal Boat is nearly a hundred times different from the outside world. Since the Great Calamity’s arrival, tens of thousands of years have passed inside the Rotten Stump Dojo. Out here, it’s millions of years!

For millions of years, the favored children of heaven have never ceased, like moths to a flame, to save the mortal world.

Magnificent! Marvellous! Peculiar!

"This integrated will network in front of my eyes, though in various aspects it cannot compare to my Net of the Infinite Aspects, yet it has its merits."

Li Fan’s will departed from the integrated dark clouds before him, once again searching the heavenly and earthly realms. To uncover the reason why the ancestral realm of the Immortal Boat can maintain its perpetual prosperity.

But with his insight, after several inspections, he couldn’t find the clues.

Not even in this integrated will did he gain anything.

"The knot must be untied by the one who tied it. It seems that to find the answer to the problem, I must personally walk through this ancestral realm of the Immortal Boat!" Contemplating for a moment, Li Fan devised a plan.

"Heavenly Demon Rebirth!"

To thoroughly explore the mysteries of this realm, merely differentiating consciousness and infiltrating would not suffice. Only by employing the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Secret Technique, as the past Celestial Doctor did, to deceive this world’s Heavenly Dao by becoming a true native incarnate, could the mystery be unveiled.

In the ancestral realm of the Immortal Boat, as billions of living beings concluded their prayer rituals to the "Divine."

A new life was also born.

Within the ancestral realm of the Immortal Boat, under the governance of the Yin Yang Demon Cleansing Sect, in Lin Mountain City.

His surname is Li, and he is named Fan.

All infants born on the Day of Divine Revelation will be adopted and personally tutored by the City Lord.

Because it’s rumored that beings born on this day can receive divine favor and have an immeasurable future. Past experiences and traditions have largely confirmed this point.

Therefore, Li Fan was raised alongside these children favored by the divine, under the meticulous guidance of the Lord of Lin Mountain City from an early age.

And they indeed did not disappoint the expectations of the City Lord, including Li Fan, a total of seventy-two individuals.

More than half of them officially entered the Energy Refining Realm before turning one year old.

Whether or not they reach the Perfect Energy Cultivator stage by one year old is a crucial demarcation. Only those who meet this requirement are worth continuing to cultivate as divine-favored ones. Those who fail to qualify subsequently lose their privileges. However, with the City Lord’s care, they can live without worry.

A total of thirty-nine infants were taken into the mountain gate by the Immortal Teacher of the Yin Yang Demon Cleansing Sect for formal cultivation.

The Yin Yang Demon Cleansing Sect is one of the five great Immortal Sects of the world, taking the responsibility of cleansing demons and executing evil.

What is a demon? What is evil?

Those who do not obey are demons. Those who do not revere are evil.

Every year in their cultivation journey, the disciples of the Yin Yang Demon Cleansing Sect must slay a specific number of demons and evils to qualify to continue their identity as disciples of the Demon Cleansing Sect.

The disciples of the Demon Cleansing Sect walk the world, causing all evil spirits to flee in fear upon hearing their name.

Among the divine-favored disciples, Li Fan’s talent was also among the best.

At one and a half years old, he officially established his Foundation Establishment, personally receiving the Sect Leader’s empowerment.

A volume recording countless forebears’ cultivation insights and enlightenment reflections within the Demon Cleansing Sect, the [Demonic Cleansing Scripture], was forcibly instilled into his spirit consciousness.

A total of thirteen divine-favored disciples received the empowerment. After the impact of the Heavenly Scripture, only six survived and maintained sane consciousness.

With the Heavenly Scripture’s blessing, from then on, Li Fan’s cultivation speed increased by leaps and bounds.

At three years old, he officially formed his Golden Core and went down the mountain to purge evils.

A three-year-old child desires to exterminate demons. It sounds like a joke.

Yet in the Yin Yang Demon Cleansing Sect, it’s just a common matter.

After Li Fan obtained the sect leader’s personally passed-down Mountain River Grief Sword, he was flung ten thousand miles away with a single sleeve swipe. Only after slaying ten thousand demons and spirits could he be permitted to return to the mountain.

The journey of ten thousand miles back must be paved with the fresh blood of evil spirits.

Li Fan, wielding the sharp sword, traveled the world, patrolling the realm. At the sight of any demonic sign, he struck with thunderous might.

Upon successfully returning to the mountain gate half a year later, the Mountain River Grief Sword had already been dyed in a blood-red hue.
