Chapter 1027 Charmed with the Blood-Red Color

  Tastes even better when you know it from the marrow.

  After understanding how powerful the top-grade Dao Stone is, Li Fan didn't waste any time and captured the other two people.

  Without a grand prize, the Dao Stone they carried was still only a top-grade one.

  Li Fan replicated the process.

  After absorbing a total of three top-grade Dao Stones, Li Fan felt the long-forgotten change, as if breaking through a major realm.

  However, he didn't become complacent and went through his experiences in this world again.

  With better planning ability, he made rough deductions about how to successfully break free from the "True Immortal's Web", return to the truth smoothly, and even take advantage of the situation.

  "But I still haven't reached the level of the Dao Stone Mother, which can deduce the hierarchy of the real world. I still need to be flexible."

  Li Fan fell silent with many thoughts swirling in his mind.

  After three days of seclusion, he called his clone Li Qing to him.

  "You should go to the Congyun Sea first and scare off the Chaoyuan Sect. If everything goes as planned, the remnants of the Chaoyuan Sect will still fly towards Jiu Mountain Province."

  "Wait until the cultivators of the various small worlds forcibly advance to the Golden Core Realm by using the Medicine King Sect's elixirs, and then lead them there."

  "With your help, they should be able to escape from the Chaoyuan Sect's massacre. When they reappear, they will be able to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm as a whole. By then, it will be much easier to explore the secrets of the Blood-Red River."

  In the clone's mind, memories of the Chaoyuan Sect resurfaced instantly.

  The Chaoyuan Sect was an ancient cave hidden in the depths of the Congyun Sea, within three underground faults.

  Before the Congyun Sea was about to be in trouble, it fled far away and fell to Jiu Mountain Province.

  Shuo Feng, Zhang Haobo, and Su Xiaomei once ventured together in search of a breakthrough.

  From their experiences, Li Fan also learned about the secrets of the Chaoyuan Sect.

  The Chaoyuan Sect is a local sect of the Xuanhuang Realm.

  Since the great disaster, it had disappeared, as if it had evaporated from the mortal world.

  In fact, the entire sect had transformed into a strange state, existing between reality and illusion, isolated from the outside world.

  Time seemed to stagnate there, seeking to escape calamity.

  That was the original plan of the Chaoyuan Sect.

  However, various changes occurred.

  First, the entire region where they were located was patrolled by the True Immortal, turning it into the Congyun Sea, burying the Chaoyuan Sect underground.

  Later, perhaps due to the influence of the merging of the two realms, various bizarre changes began to occur within the Chaoyuan Sect.

  When Su Xiaomei and the others entered the ruins of the Chaoyuan Sect, the cultivators inside seemed to live normally. But in reality, they had all turned into faceless bloodthirsty beings, devoid of their original appearance.

  And they were completely unaware of it.

  If anyone exposed their true faceless appearance in front of these Chaoyuan Sect cultivators, they would go berserk and attack like wild animals, regardless of their cultivation level.

  Although they didn't use any magical abilities, these faceless creatures were formidable opponents - fast and quick to recover from injuries.

  The only way to kill them was to cut off their faceless heads entirely.

  After killing them, the faceless beings would turn into a red light that attached to the person who killed them.

  This red light was, in fact, the original source power of the Chaoyuan Sect world.

  When leaving the Chaoyuan Sect, this captured red light would also leave with the cultivator, providing a massive boost, enough to directly advance a cultivator below the Nascent Soul realm to a major realm. Even for the establishment of a new law, the cultivation of the Golden Core, and the Nascent Soul's Dao Territory, the red light could naturally evolve.

  And with special refining methods, it was even possible to directly absorb the original red light in the Chaoyuan Sect world and use it for combat.

  As to why such a bizarre scene occurred in the Chaoyuan Sect, it still remained a mystery for the time being.

  However, Li Fan speculated that it might be due to the merging of the Xuanhuang Realm with other realms.

  ...

  Li Qing briefed Li Fan on the history of the Chaoyuan Sect, and then nodded.

  "If the original source of that red light is useful to me, then maybe my cultivation realm might surpass yours," Li Qing said with a smile.

  "Then you should kill more. The heaven's mysterious promotion is different from the others. The resources you need to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm might be more than what ordinary cultivators need," Li Fan replied nonchalantly.

  "If you really achieve the realm of Nascent Soul, maybe you can endure a few rounds against my subordinates with the Black Sword of Heaven's Mystery."

  The clone smiled and didn't respond.

  And then, she left to carry out her orders.

  Subsequently, the exploration of the Blood-Red River would be handled entirely by the clone, Li Qing.

  It shouldn't lead to any trouble.

  ...

  With the support of the upgraded Dao Stone, the Final Resolution Disk could finally unleash its full computational power.

  While deducing and cracking the restrictions set by the True Immortal, Li Fan started creating a whole new formation according to his plan.

  As for Li Fan himself, he began researching the white light inside his body.

  It was the source of the Mirror given to him by the Heavenly Profound Mirror.

  Although the Heavenly Profound Mirror claimed that this source was only present with it and neither increased nor decreased.

  But Li Fan was curious to know what would happen if he chose to keep this item after returning to the truth.

  "There's a high possibility that a new Mirror source would suddenly appear in the world."

  "If the Heavenly Profound Mirror doesn't sense this new source..."

  Li Fan squinted his eyes.

  In the days since he obtained the Mirror source, Li Fan had benefited greatly.

  The fact that the Heavenly Profound Mirror almost entirely trusted him was worth using a point to exchange for an item to keep.

  "During the final moments in this world, I can experiment with the Heavenly Profound Mirror's reaction."

  "Even if it's noticed, I'll just return to the truth immediately, with no consequences."

  "But if the Heavenly Profound Mirror doesn't notice the sudden appearance of this new source, then its utility will be significant."

  Of course, all of this depended on the assumption that the item exchanged with the anchor point would be created within the space of the item in the truth, rather than absorbing an existing item in the world.

  "This actually also signifies the real possibility of returning to the truth," Li Fan pondered.

  "But it's definitely worth a try."

  Currently, Li Fan only had two blank anchor points left.

  However, he already had a guess as to how to increase the anchor points.

  Previously, the increase in anchor points had been achieved by absorbing the Golden Cores of cultivators.

  And initially, it was the absorption of the Foundation-Building Oddities of the cultivators.

  It was obvious that the next step in increasing the anchor points might be to absorb the Dao Territories, which were needed by cultivators to establish the Nascent Soul.

  As for why, despite having been to many Dao Territories, Li Fan hadn't received any prompts for absorption...

  Li Fan speculated that it might be because a new Dao Territory was needed.
