Chapter 670: Chapter 636: Unchanging Through a Thousand Generations

From “Refining” to “Immortal”, a difference of one word, the difference between heaven and abyss.

Countless years had passed with the path to the Xuanhuang World cut off. “Immortal” had become an unreachable goal, only existing in ancient books as a source of yearning and imagination for cultivators.

Yet, right now, Li Fan had seen a technique that possibly related to a “True Immortal”!

“True Immortal Heritage?” Li Fan was filled with anticipation and a surge of emotions merely at the thought of it. He only experienced such excitement and stimulation when he first encountered Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi, and finally confirmed the existence of cultivators in the world.

“No wonder the Xuanhuang Curse has always been at the forefront of all my cultivation techniques. Even the ‘Cloud-water Illusionist Art’ of the Unity Realm passed down by Qin Tang cannot compare to it! It turns out to be a real transmission from a fairy!”

“The path to Immortality is not cut off, it’s endless!”

Li Fan was unusually excited and couldn’t calm down for a long time.

With his current mental state, it took him quite a while to gradually calm down.

After carefully pondering over this so-called “Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra”, he found that there was not much difference from the previous Heart-Refining Spell. Perhaps this was because it was still incomplete.

Or perhaps, with Li Fan’s current understanding, he was not yet able to discern the difference between the two.

Li Fan meticulously recalled the origins of the [Mystic Yellow Immortal Heart Incantation].

The initial origin was the Xuanhuang Inner Peace Spell, which was widely circulated and ubiquitous in the Xuanhuang World, used to remove the miasma in the body. Since the Heart-Clearing Mantra offered no other help to cultivators other than removing the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma, there were few cultivators who insisted on practicing it after inducting the miasma into their bodies.

However, because of his limited capabilities at the time, Li Fan couldn’t purge the miasma in his body. Therefore, while waiting for the opportunity to enter the Spirit Cleansing Pond, he tirelessly practiced the Xuanhuang Inner peace Spell day and night. Because he had the [Real] panel that allowed him to clearly perceive every little change in himself, he firmly believed that the Xuanhuang Inner peace Spell was effective. So he never gave up on it.

In the excruciating process where the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma was forcibly purged from his body in the Spirit Cleansing Pond, even though he almost lost consciousness and passed out, Li Fan’s heart of seeking the Dao was unwavering. The [Real] that granted him the confidence to constantly reincarnate, also made him fearless of life and death. Eventually, when Li Fan successfully transformed from a mortal to a cultivator in the Energy Refining Stage, the Xuanhuang Inner peace Spell also metamorphosed into the Xuanhuang Heart-Refining Spell.

On the path of cultivation for a hundred reincarnations, Li Fan, through continuous exploration and trials, gradually found the true method of practicing the Xuanhuang Heart-Refining Spell: Reverse Cultivation Dao Heart. Like a large millstone, it completely shatters the obsessions in the heart and turns them into nourishment for the divine soul. Its miraculous effect is far beyond any techniques circulating in the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals today.

Li Fan initially thought that this was the limit of the Xuanhuang Curse. However, after using the Secret Technique of [Chaos] under a fortuitous coincidence in this life, the Heart-Refining Spell worked autonomously in the face of the backlash brought by the “Ten Thousand Years Shadows” of the Word Confusion Technique, and finally shed its disguise, revealing its true form.

“Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra,” Li Fan repeated the name again and again in his heart.

Without a doubt, this was an incredibly powerful technique.

“Mortal matters confound the immortal mind.” Even the most powerful cultivator, when falling into the mortal world, inevitably suffers damage to their Dao heart.

The Ten Thousand Years Shadows was almost like real experiences of reincarnations through thousands of lives. Countless images, emotions, erupting in the mind all at once. If it hadn’t been for Li Fan’s hundred reincarnations experience, making his mental toughness extraordinary, he would have likely lost his sanity immediately, becoming manic.

If it weren’t for the assistance of the Immortal Heart Spell, regardless of how extraordinary Li Fan’s determination was, to get out of the impact brought by the Ten Thousand Years Shadows on his own would probably have taken decades.

However, with the [Mystic Yellow Immortal Heart Incantation], the end result was completely different. In the blink of an eye, those sincere emotions and vivid memories were all dissolved and absorbed.

“Experiencing countless cycles of reincarnation in an instant, and yet the immortal heart remains unchanged…”

“Is this the might of the immortal?” Li Fan couldn’t help but feel a sense of longing.

“With such an Immortal Law, I can possibly handle all the illusions that exist in the Xuanhuang World effortlessly,” a glint flickered in Li Fan’s eyes.

He first thought of the scene when he was brought into the Great Taoist Sect by Sister Zhao.

“By holding the [Mystic Yellow Immortal Heart Incantation], I might be able to maintain my true self in the authentic illusion. With the existence of my consciousness, perhaps I can steal more secrets when taking initiative.”

“I’ll try it in the next life.”

After musing for a while, Li Fan then focused his gaze on the word “incomplete” behind the Immortal Heart Spell.

“This Immortal Law is currently incomplete, and if I want to complete it, I must use the experiences and memories of thousands of lives as raw materials. Originally, using the Word Confusion Technique and exploiting the spiritual backlash brought by it was the best method.”

“But…”

Li Fan frowned slightly.

He was still apprehensive about the huge Divine Sense that appeared later. His intuition told him that the owner of this Divine Sense had probably marked the Secret Technique of [Chaos]. If he were to use it again, he’d likely be discovered immediately.

“I was able to escape a catastrophe before possibly because the [Chaos] hasn’t been seen in the world for many years.”

“Can’t use it a second time huh…”

“No matter.” Thinking about the peculiar treasure he carries, Li Fan gave a faint smile.

“Even if I only have a single unexpected opportunity each life, for me, it’s like having an inexhaustible source!”

“I’m afraid neither the one who deliberately hid the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra in the first place nor the huge Divine Sense who cared greatly about [Chaos] would ever imagine that there’s such an anomaly like me in the world.”

Reflecting on his past experiences, Li Fan was very clear about how difficult it was to turn the Xuanhuang Clear-Heart Spell into the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra step by step.

Plus, there was the continuous surveillance and watchful eyes of the powerful beings.

Even if a lucky individual could accidentally reproduce it, they wouldn’t be able to remain unnoticed under the powerhouse’s watchful eyes like Li Fan.

“Among countless futures, as long as there is a glimmer of vitality, I can find it. Turning the impossible into possible.”

Again, Li Fan felt the terror of [Real].

At the same time, he felt fortunate.

If he hadn’t had this peculiar treasure, no matter how genius he was, he probably wouldn’t have been able to transcend from this Xuanhuang World.

After his emotional reflection, Li Fan started looking for snippets of information about the Xuanhuang Heart-Refining Spell in the TianXuan Mirror.

“Thinking about it, the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma was created contrary to the logic of heaven and earth, so the method to remove it can’t possibly be simple, can it?”

A moment of enlightenment flashed through Li Fan’s heart.

With Li Fan’s current authority level, he could access many contents unavailable to ordinary cultivators.

However, regarding the origin of the Xuanhuang Heart-Refining Curse, there were various opinions, but no definite answer.
