The most crucial factor was that the cultivation speed of the art of unlocking the human body’s potential could not be compared to the path of cultivation passed down by the Immortal Ancestor.
Li Fan consulted these books and found that the difficulty of unlocking the human body’s secret potential experienced a substantial leap when the power reached a level almost equivalent to the Golden Core realm.
It was as if an invisible shackle appeared, demanding an exorbitant cost for even a slight advancement.
The consumption of the same amount of energy yielded far greater results in cultivation compared to unlocking the secrets within the human body.
Moreover, the power of immortal techniques, capable of invoking spiritual energy, far exceeded the strength derived solely from the human body.
What could “rebirth through a single blood drop” achieve in comparison to the prowess gained after forming the Nascent Soul, where one could establish their Dharma Domain and become virtually unkillable by normal means?
After much research and the conjectures of many cultivators, the technique of unlocking the human body’s secrets might have a method to match the advantages of the Immortal Dao.
However, the prerequisite was to escape the environment of the Xuanhuang Realm.
“Just like how the power of firearms and gunpowder is suppressed in this world, the technique to unlock the secrets within the human body follows the same principle.”
Once, Li Fan experimented with firearms brought from Grand Xuan to the cultivation world. The explosive power was reduced to almost one percent of its original force. What was originally a lethal weapon turned into a child’s toy in an instant.
“As the Xuanhuang Realm is a world of the Immortal Dao, power systems outside of the Immortal Dao will be suppressed to varying degrees.”
“It’s as if the heavens are consciously repelling external forces.”
Synthesizing his previous experiences, Li Fan came to such a conclusion.
However, even before this, Li Fan had a vague speculation.
He wasn’t particularly surprised.
“Although it lacks further potential, it is sufficient to help Tian Yang breakthrough.”
“However, relying solely on the power of unlocking the human body’s secrets falls somewhat short of reaching Golden Core within six years as a mortal.”
“It’s still a bit lacking.”
“Ancient Body Transformation Dao…”
“Using yourself to establish the foundation…”
Li Fan slowly contemplated the relevant possibilities in his mind.
To be honest, the Ancient Body Transformation Dao’s External Body Transformation and the current method of stealing Heavenly Treasures from the heavens and earth to establish the foundation were quite similar.
Both involved relying on external things to nurture oneself.
On Yin Yin Island, Master Yin once talked to Li Fan about the possibility of the ‘Self Foundation.’
This naturally led Li Fan to wonder if External Body Transformation could extend to the self.
To thoroughly separate consciousness and the physical body.
First, view one’s own body as an external entity, and then gradually merge the external with the internal.
External Body Transformation, cultivated to the extreme, allows for the unity of the external and internal.
If External Body Transformation could be extended to oneself, reaching the pinnacle of cultivation would mean having complete control over one’s own body.
It was almost identical to ‘Self Foundation.’
When a cultivator could fully grasp their own body, they could then tap into the infinite potential hidden within.
What kind of terrifying power would be unleashed?
This was the method envisioned by Li Fan.
Once successfully tested in the simulated world, Li Fan might be able to replicate it in the real world.
Of course, the difficulty involved in this was undoubtedly extremely high.
Li Fan wasn’t an exceptionally talented individual. Achieving his goal directly wasn’t possible.
It required repeated attempts to ultimately realize it.
Fortunately, [Truth] provided Li Fan with enough capital, allowing him to experiment over and over without any worries.
“In the real world, use a clone to practice the technique of unlocking the human body’s secrets.”
“Accumulate experience. Once you feel confident, enter the simulated world and try it on Tian Yang.”
With a firm determination in mind, the clone that had been idle and idle all along immediately took action.
Meanwhile, the main body divided his attention into three parts: cultivating, studying formations, and reading the “Heavenly Doctor’s Immortal Sutra.”
At the same time, he held the second Dao Transformation Stone in his palm, activated the Divine Transformation Dao, and absorbed the mysterious energy contained in it, strengthening the blue crystal in his sea of consciousness.
With his mind divided into four, Li Fan felt that he had reached the limit without affecting efficiency.
While it was possible to split his consciousness to do more things, it inevitably slowed down the speed of thought, and the loss would outweigh the gain.
The solution to this problem would have to wait until his spiritual consciousness became stronger in the future.
Clearing his mind of distractions, Li Fan completely immersed himself in cultivation.
As time passed slowly, the fifteenth year had arrived.
On the deserted island, after a sparring session with Xiao Heng, Ye Feipeng, who still lost under the move “Water Dragon Song,” felt somewhat frustrated.
Wearing an unhappy expression, he pushed everyone away and came to the beach, looking at the boundless sea, secretly scheming.
“Damn it, if this continues, not to mention Xiao Heng, even Su Xiaomei will surpass me.”
“And that Zhang Haobo too.”
“He’s worthy of being a figure who could achieve Dao Integration in the last life. I thought that by robbing him of his luck, he would become an ordinary person from then on.”
“But unexpectedly, approaching him at that time actually attracted the attention of that old immortal skull, allowing him to embark on the path of immortality again.”
“Hmph, if I had known this earlier, I should have been more ruthless and killed him directly.”
“There’s no need to see him now and be uncontrollably upset.”
“But fortunately, this treasure, you won’t get a chance this time.”
Ye Feipeng subconsciously touched his chest.
There, a faint blue transparent water droplet was continuously helping him absorb the surrounding pure water attribute spiritual energy, enhancing his cultivation.
Ye Feipeng naturally knew that this blue water droplet was the Canghai Pearl.
In the previous life, it was with its assistance that Zhang Haobo could slay the Crimson Flame as a Golden Core and successfully achieve Dao Integration.
In this life, he imitated Zhang Haobo, constantly chasing and resolving wind disasters, trying to attract the attention of the Cong Yun Sea. After his unremitting efforts, he finally succeeded.
However, he couldn’t feel happy about it.
“With the help of such a treasure, my cultivation speed is still inferior to those freaks on the island. Could it be that I, Ye Feipeng, am truly so worthless?”
The more the fatty thought about it, the more frustrated he became, falling into deep self-doubt.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and comforted himself, “Calm down, you need to stay calm.”
“So what if my cultivation speed is a bit slow? My biggest advantage is the foresight from being reborn.”
Ye Feipeng looked up at the distant sky, his eyes flickering.
“Heavenly Calamity Sword Intent…”
“The continuous premonitions from the Canghai Pearl recently should be related to this.”
“But in my heart, I feel that place is extremely dangerous, and I haven’t made up my mind to explore it yet.”
“I can’t continue like this!”
Ye Feipeng’s eyes showed determination.
“On the path of cultivation, it is inherently impossible to not take any risks at all.”
“If I don’t have this bit of courage, how will I plan to achieve Dao Integration in the future?”
Displaying a speed incongruent with his figure, Ye Feipeng moved like a ghost, walking on the waves and controlling the wind.
In the blink of an eye, he left the deserted island.
