After the vision disappeared, Li Fan keenly sensed that something inexplicable had changed within himself.
However, upon closer inspection, he couldn't quite figure out what this change was.
But it probably wasn't a bad thing.
Li Fan decided to temporarily put it aside and just keep this matter in mind.
After determining his current location, Li Fan noticed that it was slightly off from where he appeared in the immortal cultivation world in his previous life.
But the difference wasn't significant.
The closest place from here was Liuli Island, so Li Fan decided to go there first.
After all, in his previous life, he spent a long time on Liuli Island and was quite familiar with it.
He Zhenghao, though a bit greedy, was relatively reliable in his actions.
Compared to others, Li Fan preferred to interact with acquaintances and minimize uncertainties.
After choosing the direction, Li Fan didn't manipulate the Tai Yan Boat much, but instead used a wind-controlling technique to fly towards Liuli Island.
The role Li Fan wanted to play now was that of a loose cultivator in the Cong Yun Sea, who, by a stroke of luck, had cultivated to the later stage of Qi Condensation.
He wanted to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage but couldn't find a way, so he wanted to join the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
In the current cultivation world, life for loose cultivators could be described as extremely difficult.
Unlike members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association who had fixed channels to obtain techniques, loose cultivators often had to risk their lives exploring various ancient sect ruins to find a technique.
Not only did they have to face the dangers and traps within the ruins, but they also had to be careful of fellow cultivators who were also eyeing them.
One misstep could lead to a fatal end.
Despite all this, these loose cultivators were still unwilling to join the two major organizations; they simply didn't want to be bound by others and work for them.
For loose cultivators, freedom was above all.
Different choices were just a matter of differing perspectives, and it was hard to say what was better or worse.
Therefore, the Tai Yan Boat was a bit ostentatious for a loose cultivator's identity.
To avoid unnecessary trouble and suspicion, Li Fan chose to fly on his own using wind control.
It was a bit slower, but Li Fan was in no hurry, and it was a good opportunity to adapt.
During his time in the Grand Xuan Kingdom, Li Fan had a vague sense that his affinity for spiritual energy had inexplicably increased in this life.
But because there was no spiritual energy in the Land of Immortal Extinction, he couldn't verify it.
When he arrived in the cultivation world and sensed and absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy, Li Fan finally confirmed that his premonition was correct.
If in the previous life, he forcibly absorbed spiritual energy through the Root of Heaven and Earth like a water pump...
Then in this life, with just a thought, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would enter his dantian cooperatively, without the need for coercion.
Although it still couldn't compare to the intimacy with spiritual energy that Xiao Heng mentioned, it was much better than before.
Li Fan speculated that the reason for this change was likely due to the Root of Heaven and Earth.
The Root of Heaven and Earth in the previous life was cultivated through emotions like greed, fear, anger, hatred, and selfishness.
However, in this life, the Root of Heaven and Earth in Li Fan's dantian was directly manifested through [Truth].
If the Root of Heaven and Earth cultivated through the Five Spirit Qi Sensing method was filled with negative emotions such as brutality and darkness...
Then the Root of Heaven and Earth bestowed by [Truth] was balanced, peaceful, and natural.
Unexpectedly, inheriting the cultivation from the previous life through [Truth] also came with such benefits.
In the midst of his joy, Li Fan also faintly felt that there might be even deeper reasons for this.
However, before he could contemplate further, his expression suddenly changed.
Because, in Li Fan's perception, a murderous intent appeared in the distance, firmly locking onto him and rapidly flying towards him.
Moreover, the opponent's aura was powerful, at least at the Foundation Establishment stage!
Although it felt somewhat inexplicable, Li Fan didn't hesitate.
He directly summoned the Tai Yan Boat and increased its speed to the maximum, fleeing to the nearest Liuli Island.
The opponent seemed to be caught off guard by Li Fan actually having a treasure like a flying boat. At first, there was a moment of astonishment, but then the speed increased even more.
Inside the Tai Yan Boat, Li Fan's face turned grim.
The distance was too far, exceeding the range covered by his divine sense.
But judging from the slowly approaching killing intent, the speed of the opponent was definitely beyond his piloting of the Tai Yan Boat.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Fan headed towards the opponent and released formless killing intent.
Suddenly, everything around him dimmed, and he heard a faint murmur.
The surroundings became hallucinatory and distorted.
It seemed like there were countless pairs of eyes secretly watching Li Fan.
Fortunately, this hallucination-like scene came and went quickly.
It was just a momentary blur, and things returned to normal immediately.
Li Fan was aware that the previous illusion was a side effect of using the formless killing intent across realms.
The formless killing intent was like borrowing the mandate of heaven.
Since it was a borrowed mandate, it naturally carried risks.
Even when mortals falsely conveyed the emperor's edict, they could face severe punishment, not to mention pretending to control the mandate of heaven.
The greater the difference in cultivation level between oneself and the target of the killing intent, the more likely it was for the will of heaven and earth to sense it.
Fortunately, at the moment, it seemed that just crossing a major realm didn't pose a significant problem.
After releasing the formless killing intent, there was no immediate reaction.
But soon, Li Fan sensed a sudden wind in the air.
This wind kept swirling on the path of the opponent's advance, quickly forming into a tornado.
The tornado carried a faint green light and resembled a huge dragon, roaring towards the opponent.
Caught off guard, the person was hit squarely by the tornado.
Seizing this opportunity, Li Fan accelerated his escape.
Soon, a deafening roar came from behind.
It seemed that the opponent managed to escape the tornado and was flying towards Li Fan's direction even faster.
The killing intent intensified.
Just as the person was about to approach Li Fan, a giant shark leaped high from beneath the sea surface and devoured him in one bite.
The shark then fell back into the sea, splashing high water sprays.
"Bang!"
A burst of flames erupted from the sea.
The shark was burnt to ashes, and the person appeared somewhat disheveled as he flew out of the sea, looking somewhat frustrated.
Sensing Li Fan's whereabouts again, he accelerated his pursuit.
But every time he got close to Li Fan, he encountered unexpected situations.
So, the two of them chased each other all the way. Although he was much faster than Li Fan, he couldn't catch up with him.
Finally, Liuli Island was in sight.
The person cautiously looked around for a moment, and seeing that there seemed to be no more unexpected events, he breathed a sigh of relief, his expression serious, and was about to use his techniques to kill Li Fan.
In the sky, under the clear daylight, a sudden thunderbolt struck down.
Directly hitting him.
If it weren't for a light that lit up on his body at a critical moment, offsetting most of the damage from the thunderbolt, he probably would have lost his life.
Even so, the person was charred all over and hardly resembled a human.
Seeing this, Li Fan quickly flew towards the central guardian array on Liuli Island.
The person hesitated in mid-air for a moment before recovering.
Startled and angry, he shouted loudly, "He Zhenghao, come out and help me kill this little thief!"
From Liuli Island came the familiar voice of He Zhenghao: "Protector Wan? How did you end up in this state?"
...
Li Fan, who was flying towards Liuli Island, heard the conversation between the two and immediately stopped.
Surrounded by the two, with no way to escape, Li Fan cursed inwardly.
Then he silently recited in his mind.
[Truth]!
