After listening to Ye Feipeng's story, everyone couldn't help but marvel.
From time to time, they glanced at the deep brown wings behind him, with a hint of envy in their eyes.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, Li Fan, who witnessed everything, had a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Kun Peng Essence Blood?"
"Just a drop of essence blood passed down through the bloodline, can still cause such earth-shaking changes in a person's body, even after thousands of years have passed."
Li Fan, who had already achieved a small degree of success in Creation Forge Art, understood very well what kind of great power this was.
"How powerful were the Kun Pengs at their peak?"
"Not to mention, there are many other demonic beasts that were as fierce or even more fierce than the Kun Peng."
"Nowadays, not a single one can be seen."
"What exactly happened back then..."
Li Fan couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.
"I wonder how the blood of demonic beasts strengthens the physical body. How is it different from the 'Creation Forge Art' that mobilizes the body's hidden potential?"
"Perhaps there is a chance to learn."
Thinking back to Ye Feipeng's astonishing speed and strength just now, Li Fan couldn't help but ponder.
"It seems that the little fatty seems to have not given up on the idea of competing for the Heavenly Spirit. I wonder who will succeed between him and Zhang Zhiliang. Although Zhang Zhiliang's cultivation level is far above Ye Feipeng's, I have a faint feeling that the fatty has a slightly greater chance..."
"Let's see what surprises he will bring when he forms his Golden Core."
With a flickering gaze, Li Fan's thoughts gradually calmed down.
He then played with the white glowing cube in his hand.
This object was the formation crown given to him by Zhang Zhiliang earlier.
In the past six months of continuous exploration, Li Fan had completely mastered the initial twenty formations.
After failing dozens of times, he finally succeeded in building a miniature formation crown based on these twenty formations.
Although he wasted many precious materials, and the power of this formation crown was not comparable to Zhang Zhiliang's formation crown with a hundred layers of formations, it was still a good start.
It meant that Li Fan's proficiency in formations had officially ascended.
This achievement was hard-earned, and Li Fan was naturally elated.
This made him allocate more energy to formation research during this period.
...
The sea of knowledge was boundless.
When immersed in deep thought and concentration, time always passed exceptionally quickly.
Unknowingly, the twenty-fifth year arrived.
On this day, Li Fan suddenly felt a tremor in his heart.
After a brief perception, he knew that the restrictions on entering the "Fallen Immortal Realm" had disappeared, and he could enter again for exploration.
"I wonder where I will appear this time when I enter?"
With some excitement and anticipation, Li Fan suspended all processes.
Holding his breath, he performed the ritual.
"Blessings bestowed by the Celestial Sovereign of Xuanhuang."
After completing the ritual, his consciousness blurred for a moment, and Li Fan once again entered the Fallen Immortal Realm.
...
"Junior Brother? Junior Brother?"
The familiar voice sounded again.
Li Fan was startled, staring blankly at the appearance of Zhang Qianmo waving his hand in front of him.
"What's going on?"
"Why am I still here?"
"I clearly defeated him, resolved his obsession, and even obtained a secret technique."
"Where did it go wrong?"
Countless doubts surged in Li Fan's heart for a moment.
This area of space-time around Ningyuan City should be an existence similar to Tianyang's Eternal Remembrance.
Li Fan was trapped here, and without resolving the obsession that maintained the existence of the space-time, he couldn't leave.
But now...
Forcing down the disappointment in his heart, Li Fan's thoughts quickly turned, calmly analyzing the situation.
The current situation could only be explained by a few possibilities.
First, Li Fan's understanding of this space-time region could be completely wrong.
For unknown reasons, he might be permanently trapped here.
No matter what method he tried, he couldn't leave.
Second, Li Fan's understanding was not wrong.
But he hadn't formally resolved Zhang Qianmo's obsession.
Whether it was to soar together with Chixia or to seek defeat, neither was what he truly sought.
There might also be a third possibility...
Thinking of this, Li Fan narrowed his eyes and looked around in all directions.
The one maintaining this space-time wasn't Senior Brother Zhang's obsession at all.
Zhang Qianmo was just an outstanding supporting character.
The real protagonist was another person!
Which guess was correct?
Li Fan wasn't sure right now.
Fortunately, he had enough time to systematically eliminate the wrong options.
By then, he would know the correct answer.
Crushing his impatient and hasty emotions, Li Fan gradually calmed down again.
At this moment, Zhang Qianmo, who had been observing the changing expressions on Li Fan's face, finally spoke up, "Junior Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Could it be that you had a nightmare in broad daylight?"
Li Fan smiled faintly, "Senior Brother, you're truly insightful. I did indeed have a vague nightmare, so I'm a little unsettled."
At this point, Zhang Qianmo couldn't help but be curious, "Oh? What did you dream about?"
"I dreamt that Senior Brother was surrounded by hordes of demonic beasts rushing in like a tide, outnumbered and exhausted to death." Li Fan shook his head and sighed.
"It's really ominous. I don't know why such a dream would come to me out of nowhere."
Zhang Qianmo's expression changed slightly, furrowing his brows.
"As cultivators, our minds are already far from ordinary people's, and we shouldn't have random nightmares."
"Now that a nightmare suddenly arises, could it be that you have subconsciously sensed something, and your mind warned yourself?"
Zhang Qianmo rubbed his chin, pondering.
Li Fan felt somewhat speechless.
He didn't expect that just a casual remark would lead Zhang Qianmo to think so much.
But he also inadvertently hit the mark. There was indeed minor danger ahead in Ningyuan City.
Following his lead, Li Fan continued, "Could it be that this trip to obtain the Longevity Fruit will have some twists and turns and won't be so smooth?"
Zhang Qianmo was slightly stunned, but he didn't immediately refute.
After a moment of thought, he said, "Junior Brother, your worries are not unfounded."
"When I overheard Master and another senior chatting, they mentioned that the cultivation world hasn't been very peaceful lately."
"For safety's sake, why don't we secretly sneak into Ningyuan City first and investigate?"
"Let's see if there's anything strange in the city."
Li Fan agreed without hesitation.
Immediately, the two put away the Purple Heaven Flying Cloud, concealed their breath, and quietly flew towards Ningyuan City.
"Senior Brother, I wonder what your greatest wish in life is?"
As they flew, Li Fan suddenly spoke up.
"Huh? Why do you ask, Junior Brother?" Zhang Qianmo was somewhat surprised.
"Hehe, forgive me for being blunt. Just now, in my dream, I saw Senior Brother die tragically, your eyes fixed on me as if there were unresolved regrets."
"Your gaze was too real. Even though I woke up now, it was unforgettable. It is difficult to calm my heart, so I asked."
Li Fan said slowly.
After listening to Ye Feipeng's story, everyone couldn't help but marvel.
