Chapter 273: 253: Daoyuan is Tiandu

Translator: 549690339

He Zhenghao was no longer the arrogant and hot-blooded youth he had once been.

After struggling in the Misthaven Ocean for decades, he had long seen the cruelty of reality.

He Zhenghao gave a long sigh, shaking his head and saying, “You jest. Ruoshui’s talent in cultivation outshines mine by far.”

“Even if I could cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm within this lifetime, by then, she might have already ascended to the God Transformation stage.”

“God Converting Weaver Master…” “The disparity between our statuses will only increase.”

“I am old now, I no longer aspire for this.”

“As long as Xin-xin visits me from time to time, I will be truly content.”

He Zhenghao lamented.

Li Fan didn’t say anything, just patted his shoulder and left.

Upon returning to the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan began to search intensively for information about Dao Origin State.

The entire population of Dao Origin State was swallowed up by time every now and then, sometimes even for a decade.

Perhaps people in Dao Origin State didn’t realize it at the time.

But when they communicate with cultivators from other states, wouldn’t they notice that something was off?

What would the outside world’s view of Dao Origin State be during these swallowed-up ten years?

Since the Tianxuan Mirror contained a plethora of information, there ought to be clues related to this issue, right? Li Fan spent half a day confirming this.

Nothing.

Li Fan couldn’t help but sigh: “All the things you can see are things they want you to see.”

“Things they don’t want you to see have all vanished without a trace.”Shaking his head, he abandoned his initial plan.

He focused on searching for the history of Dao Origin State.

“Tiandu Relics Study”, “Theoretical Discussion of the Relationship between Dao Origin State and the Ancient Dao Origin Land”, “Discussion on the Lineage of the Grand Master of Tiandu”…

Each of these works was patiently scrutinized by Li Fan.

And in these books about Dao Origin State, there’s always one keyword that comes up.

Tiandu.

“The source of all Taoist Techniques, the head of all teachings…”

“What a bold claim.”

Li Fan couldn’t help but wonder: “Could it be that this Tiandu is one of the Ten

Great Ancient Immortal Sects?”

According to later researchers, in ancient times, Tiandu hung high above the Nine Heavens, overlooking all creatures of the Xuanhuang World.

It claimed to be the source of all Taoist techniques, the head of all teachings.

It’s not certain who specifically resided in Tiandu in the past.

It is said that Dao Origin State’s Unity-Path Immortal Lan Yu is a descendent of the lineage of the Tiandu Grandmaster.

And the Heavenly Capital’s Feather Transformation Technique which he cultivates, was personally passed down by the Grandmaster himself.

Most of Lan Yu’s treasures, such as the Heavenly Capital Martial Arts Arena and Purple-Gold Furnace of Eight Trigrams, are all passed down from Tiandu.

“In no time this year, Lan Yu will be facing his last days. Before his death, he will set up the Devouring Origin Rebirth Array, vainly attempting to reverse the Principle of Life and Death and achieve immortality.”

“It is said that when Lan Yu falls, strange occurrences will appear throughout the state, visible to all.”

‘My main body cannot go there, but it won’t hurt to go with a clone.”

Li Fan had a hunch in his heart that the unknown entity devouring time might be related to the ancient Tiandu.

But this was just a hunch, with no actual evidence to support it.

“Regardless, the spectacle of a Unity-Path Immortal Monarch’s death is a rare sight to behold.”

“It wouldn’t hurt to go and see the world.”

“I heard that because Lan Yu became an Integration Cultivator before the Great Calamity, his death will cause different phenomena compared to the rest of the cultivators.”

With his mind made up, Li Fan began to search for ways to remove any potential mysterious traces on his body.

Every method has its own area of expertise.

What [Real] is incapable of doing doesn’t mean that other methods in this world are incapable too.

As long as he can spend contribution points to solve problems, they won’t be issues for Li Fan.

Keywords: purification, curse, trace, erase…

Li Fan steadily checked the information that popped up one by one.

All these solutions could be roughly divided into three types.

The first type is to cleanse oneself with celestial treasures, washing away any wicked aura.

The-second type is through cultivating special techniques, achieving purity of body and mind, as perfect as Liuli, with constant practicing.

The third was to use specialist cultivators.

You just have to pay a certain price, and they will provide a home service.

They can help you remove these abnormalities that entangle you.

Of course, if they were unsuccessful, they won’t charge a fee.

With a try-it-and-see mindset, Li Fan contacted these cultivators.

When they asked about the type of traces that needed to be expelled, Li Fan simply responded that he was not sure.

He just felt that something was not quite right with his body, based on his spiritual sense.

Such explanations were quite common.

In total, more than a dozen cultivators visited, some were at Nascent Soul Stage, some at the Gold Core Cultivation Level.

After each performed their techniques, Li Fan felt no effect at all.

The cultivators also stared at Li Fan for a while, then shook their heads, expressing that they could not identify anything unusual.

Just as Li Fan was about to give up, the last cultivator gave him a surprise.

This cultivator was named Fang Yang, also at the Nascent Soul Stage.

After seeing Li Fan, he studied him for a while and was about to cast his technique.

Duuuenny,    lace cnctngeu ULdSLICd11Y.

Without saying a word, he turned around and left.

Knowing that Fang Yang must have noticed something, Li Fan quickly chased after him.

In front of the Dharma Dissemination Square, Fang Yang, who was stopped, wore an ugly expression on his face.

If fighting weren’t forbidden on the island, he would have already slapped this annoying youngster to death.

“Young man, just go back! I’m sorry, but I am powerless to help with your issue!”

Li Fan, with a tense face, earnestly said, “I beg you to save me, senior!” “I don’t know why, but lately, I’ve been feeling restless and uneasy.”

“I can’t even focus on cultivating anymore.”

“If this goes on, I’m afraid my cultivation level won’t make any progress and die at the Foundation Establishment Phase, severing my cultivation path completely!”

As he spoke, he tightly grabbed Fang Yang’s hand, showing no sign of letting go.

Fang Yang’s face turned red with frustration, but he couldn’t explode in anger.

He could only lower his voice and say: “Listen kid, I’ll be straight with you. Although I’m not sure what’s going on with you, it’s clear that you’ve offended some entity you shouldn’t have.”

“It’s at such a high level, it’s not something a small Nascent Soul cultivator like myself can solve.”

“Even if I had a solution, I wouldn’t help you.”

“To be frank, this abnormality on you is like a mark left by them. If it’s rashly removed, it will definitely attract their attention.”

Fang Yang stopped at that and said no more.

A sinking feeling emerged in Li Fan’s heart, the situation was worse than he had imagined.

“Do you have a solution, senior? If I can escape this disaster, I will surely reward you handsomely in the future!” Li Fan said solemnly.

Fang Yang re-evaluated Li Fan, pondered for a moment before answering, “You could find a remote, small world and practice a purification technique for more than a decade. Maybe then you could break free.”

“Of course, this is just a suggestion. Whether it will succeed or not depends on your own fate. I can’t guarantee it.”

Upon hearing these words, Li Fan slowly nodded.

He thanked Fang Yang and no longer bothered him..
