As his consciousness navigated through the seven-colour model, he felt as if he were personally exploring the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters. ButâŠ
Apart from that, the âThe Cloud and Water Scrollâ didnât seem to have any other special uses.
âPerhaps âThe Cloud and Water Recordsâ would be a more fitting title for this scroll. â
âOr perhaps, are there other hidden secrets within it? Otherwise, why would anyone offer a reward of 100,000 contribution points for it?â
Doubts began to swirl in Li Fanâs mind.
But now was not the time to dwell on it.
Tucking the seven-color model into his storage ring, Li Fan bowed to the turtle snake monster, âTaiyi Ancestor Master, please see me out. I have to find Junior
Brother Baili Chen.â
After a moment, the ancient voice of Taiyi responded: âHmm, leaving is good.
Leaving is indeed goodâŠâ
That was the same response Taiyi gave when Baili Chen left earlier.
A gleam of blue light enveloped Li Fan.
Soon after, Li Fanâs figure disappeared.
The front of Taiyi Hall was once again plunged into long-lasting silence. After an unknown amount of time, a peculiar sound broke the tranquility.
âZzzâŠâ
âZzzâŠâ
It sounded like the continuous grinding of swords on a stone, or a giant snake shedding its old skin.
Each time the sound echoed, countless phantom swords would appear from the void, stabbing into the turtle snake monster.
âBoom!â
Taiyi Hall suddenly sank, forcing the monsterâs limbs to retract. The two giant black snakes on its head and tail screamed in pain, their terrifying heads twisted and returned to the Taiyi Hall.
âPainâŠâ
âSo much painâŠâ
Taiyiâs old and crazed voice echoed through the Celestial Palace of Clouds, like thunder, reaching all corners of the palace.
Innumerable buildings hidden within the white mist echoed back, disturbing sounds escaping them.
The rain of phantom swords grew swift and ferocious.
âRoar!â
The figure of the turtle snake monster finally disappeared.
Left behind was the silent Taiyi Hall and the increasingly majestic forest of swords, standing as silent witnesses to Taiyiâs eternal pain.
Misthaven Ocean.
Li Fan blinked and found himself back above the azure sea.
However, he had already left the premises of the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters ruins.
Tracking the locations of Sikong Yi and Baili Chen, Li Fan activated his Shadow Following Technique, closely following behind.
Simultaneously, the dormant Formless Killing Machine was suddenly launched.
Sikong Yi and his partner were instantly impeded and their speed significantly reduced.
Meanwhile, Li Fanâs speed continued to accelerate.
The distance continued to close and before long, he could vaguely see their figures.
âWho exactly are you? Iâve given you âThe Cloud and Water Scrollâ, why do you still wonât leave us alone!â Sikong Yiâs angry voice could be heard.
Li Fan didnât reply, he only picked up speed.
âHow dare you!â Seeing this, Sikong Yi abandoned his escape and turned to face Li Fan.
Lines of golden sword energy emerged around him, swirling like a sea serpent.
With a flick of Sikong Yiâs finger, the sword energy was unleashed like a sky full of flying dragons, attacking Li Fan.
As for Baili Chen, he seemed to have used some secret technique. His speed surged several times over.
He tried to escape to a distant island.
âYou want to use that same trick you used earlier to deceive me? You plan to use the islandâs teleportation array to return to Ten Thousand Immortals Island?â
âGood idea.â
âToo bad I was prepared.â
Li Fan watched the two of them, a trace of an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.
Ever since he had learned from Jiao Xiuyuan that Sikong Yi and Baili Chen often moved together, he had specifically purchased some magic tools in the Tianxuan Realm just in case.
For instance, right nowâŠ
A shield, with fire swirling all around it, emerged in front of him, blocking all of Sikong Yiâs golden sword energy.
Crimson Fire Shield, 350 contribution points.
It naturally counters Sikong Yiâs golden sword energy.
Li Fan took out a black chain from his Storage Ring.
One end was aimed at Sikong Yi, and the other end at Baili Chen.
He gently threw it out.
The black chain auicklv stretched. binding Sikonz Yi and Baili Chen together
with lightning speed.
The chain contracted abruptly.
Baili Chen, who was fleeing like the wind, was abruptly pulled back, rolling back towards Sikong Yi.
Soul Lock Chain.
Li Fan spent 958 contribution points on it, requesting the Foundation Establishment Phase refining tool master from the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals to customize it.
Once the two were chained together, they couldnât move too far apart.
Finally, Li Fan took out another Array Diagram when he saw the pair locked together.
Green Wood Purple Fire Formation.
As much as 1500 contribution points.
Its powerful force, once activated, could turn any Energy Refining Cultivator to ashes within a short span of time.
With an expressionless face, Li Fan activated the Great Array, enveloping Sikong Yi and Baili Chen.
Although it appeared to take a long time, it only took the blink of an eye from the moment Li Fan blocked Sikong Yiâs golden sword energy to the moment he trapped the two in the Great Array.
Before they could react, they found themselves trapped and unable to escape.
âWho the hell are you?!â
Sikong Yi found that every move Li Fan made was targeted.
It was clear that he had planned this for a long time.
Li Fan didnât answer, controlling Baili Chen with the Binding Worm Divine Technique.
Ignoring Sikong Yiâs curses, Li Fan activated the Great Array, scorching Sikong
Yi.
Amidst the screams, Sikong Yi was reduced to ashes.
ButâŠ
There was no unusual sign in the sky above.
Then, just as Li Fan had anticipated, a scene unfolded.
Next to Baili Chen, a phantom slowly appeared.
The phantom writhed and gradually took on a physical form.
Sikong Yi⊠resurrected, again!
Li Fan narrowed his eyes and activated the Great Array again.
The screams continued.
Sikong Yi died once again.
After this resurrection, his cultivation fell from the Final Stage of Energy Refining to the Mid Stage of Energy Refining.
Li Fan seemed to understand something.
As the purple fire flickered, Sikong Yi came upon a new wave of death.
And Sikong Yiâs cursing turned into pleading.
Then it turned into tearful begging.
But Li Fan remained unmoved.
Sikong Yi was full of mysteries and had strong survival tactics.
Li Fan had stolen âThe Cloud and Water Scrollâ worth a hundred thousand contribution points from him, creating an unresolvable feud.
Even if he couldnât force the secrets out of him, Li Fan would never let him go.
The Green Wood Purple Fire Formation was activated repeatedly. Soon, Sikong Yi had fallen to the Initial Stage of Energy Refining.
A look of despair appeared on his face.
Begging Li Fan desperately to spare his life.
In order to survive, he chose to reveal all his secrets.
Li Fan quietly listened, his expression changing continuously.
In the end, the purple fire shone brightly.
After dying three times in a row, Sikong Yi didnât come back to life.
And after Sikong Yiâs death, Baili Chen crumbled into dust, completely disappearing from Heaven and Earth.
At the spot where Sikong Yi disappeared, a black token quietly floated in the air.
Li Fan picked it up, and information suddenly surfaced in his Spirit
Consciousness.
The holder of this token shall be the master of the Stealing Heaven and Earth
Sect..
