Chapter 99 - 99: 94 Rebirth of Zhang Haobo
Chapter 99 - 99: 94 Rebirth of Zhang Haobo
2,000 points of contribution.
Without even batting an eye, I bought it.
Lin Fan started to carefully browse through it.
The Natural Treasures of Heaven and Earth are key in a cultivator’s foundation establishment.
They are divided into three major types: Heaven’s Oddities, Earth’s Oddities, and Miraculous Human Items.
The Heavenly Oddities are hidden mysteries of the Heavenly Dao, but they are elusive and few have seen or even heard of them.
Only one example was mentioned in the book.
The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals based its foundation on this.
Its importance is even higher than that of the Tianxuan Mirror.
It is the Yan Fajue.
No one knows whose Foundation Establishment Strange Object it is.
Its special effect is that it can spontaneously create new techniques day and night.
When Lin Fan read up to this point, he paused for a moment, then stopped.
“From what Kou Hong said, the current techniques that cultivators practice are all newly compiled techniques. I initially thought they were created by some prodigies who can create so many different types of techniques.”
“It turns out they’re not manually deduced, but rather, they originate from these Natural Treasures.”
Lin Fan pondered for a while, and then continued reading.
Earth’s Wonders are also quite rare. But at least, there are clues about them.
They often appear in conjunction with extraordinary phenomena of heaven and earth-
Several examples are given in the book.
Cangwu State, with its four waters and twenty-eight mountains.
In a certain year and month, it disappeared overnight, leaving only a bottomless abyss.
The Earth’s Wonder, Image of Cangwu Mountains and Waters, originated from it.
The mainland rivers usually flow from west to east, into the sea.
On a certain day, all the rivers reversed their courses and converged on Penglai Mountain.
Only ceased in three months.
The Earth’s Wonder, Mother of All Waters under Heaven, originated from there.
Lin Fan read with great interest.
“In that case, the Ocean Pearl also belongs to Earth’s Wonders,” he couldn’t help but think.
There are still more than ten years until the birth of the Ocean Pearl.
It seems to be in the area around Liuyun Island.
This must not be forgotten,
Next are the Miraculous Human Items.
The majority of the wonders used in foundation establishment belong to the category of Miraculous Human Items.
These are often created by cultivators who have fallen thousands of years ago, and have transformed over a period of years.
Depending on their quality, they are divided into three categories: superior, average, and inferior.
The higher the quality, the more powerful the cultivator who establishes their foundation with it.
Li Fan couldn’t help but think of the Curled Dragon Branch and Rusted Sword
Daoxuan.
He wondered what quality they were.
But judging from the power they demonstrated, they should be at least of average quality or higher.
While Lin Fan’s clone was immersed in the secrets of the Immortal Cultivation World,
Li Fan himself took advantage of the night and used the teleportation array to get to Liuli Island.
He did not see He Zhenghao.
The Island Protection Array was guarded by a stranger cultivator. He Zhenghao must have gone to explore his cave mansion and not returned yet.
Li Fan didn’t think too much of it. After nodding to the stranger, he left the array, concealed his figure, and quietly went to the house of Captain Zhang Haobo of the Far-reaching Ship.
Looking at the sleeping Zhang Haobo, Li Fan smiled slightly.
There are still 19 years until the Crimson Blaze Ocean.
Now that his clone is done refining, some pieces can already be laid out in advance.
Mistwater Mirage Technique, activate.
Zhang Haobo jolted awake from a nightmare, drenched in cold sweat.
He took deep gasps, and the fear in his heart hadn’t dissipated yet.
After a long while, he returned to his senses and blankly looked around at his surroundings.
This place is…
Liuli Island?
Could it be… that everything was just a horrible nightmare?
But, how can a dream be so real?
In his dream, he pulled up a corpse when he was out at sea fishing one time.
With the remains, there was also a book.
Even though it had been soaked in seawater for a long time, the words on it remained clear and readable.
“The Godly Sword of Calming Seas”.
It was a secret technique for cultivation from the ancient Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters, able to guide one all the way to the Foundation Establishment Phase.
It allowed to condense twenty-four Ocean Command Rapiers in the Dantian to fight the enemy, incredibly powerful.
It was thanks to this technique, that he made breakthrough progress in a mere few years in his dream.
All the way from a mortal, he cultivated to the Final Stage of Energy Refining.
He originally had hopes to establish foundation but did not expect…
Thinking of the horrifying scene in his dream, Zhang Haobo could not stop trembling.
In the sky above Misthaven Ocean, a transparent red shadow suddenly appeared.
In its hand, holding a seemingly weak ember.
But it was this ember that slowly dried up the entire Misthaven Ocean over the next ten years.
His friends, his hometown, everything around him, were all completely destroyed.
The Cultivators of Ten Thousand Immortal Island tried to fight, but unfortunately, that shadow was too strong.
Its appearance was so sudden.
Misthaven Ocean had became a place of no return, inaccessible from the outside.
With no reinforcements, in the end, all the cultivators of Ten Thousand Immortal Island sacrificed their lives, dealing only a severe injury to it.
Raging flames fell from the sky, reducing Ten Thousand Immortal Island to ashes.
The nightmare ended here.
Zhang Haobo was unable to calm himself for a long time.
Was it really just a dream…?
How could an ordinary person like himself dream so clearly about Ten Thousand Immortal Island and Tianxuan Mirror, things that weren’t even present in his imagination before? Even that cultivation technique…
Wait a minute.
Zhang Haobo’s eyes narrowed.
The method of “The Godly Sword of Calming Seas” suddenly appeared in his mind!
Each word, each phrase, was crystal clear.
He suddenly stood up.
Was it not just a dream?!
Did
Rebirth?!
He had read many fantastical stories that included the plot where one was reborn several decades after death.
He never thought he would encounter it one day.
After a long time, Zhang Haobo managed to calm himself down.
He worked hard to recall the scenes of his previous life.
Unfortunately, perhaps because the red shadow was too terrifying and almost occupied his entire mind, he only had a vague impression of some major events of his previous life.
But…
This was already enough.
Looking back at his wife who was still sleeping, his gaze became determined.
There was still more than a decade before that tragedy would happen.
If he prepared early, set up an ambush, and was certain he could kill that red shadow!
The first thing to do was to break through to the Initial Stage of Energy Refining.
Then he would join the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.
The matter of rebirth was too mysterious, it could not be disclosed to anyone else.
He would also have to think of ways to make the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals believe that the red figure would truly appear.
Zhang Haobo regained the mentality of the Energy Refining cultivator from his past life and began calculating in his mind.
Li Fan watched Zhang Haobo whose expression kept changing. Seeing that he didn’t immediately plan to flee, Li Fan secretly nodded.
The rebirth Zhang Haobo assumed was naturally the effect of Li Fan’s Mistwater Mirage Technique.
With his real future experiences as the blueprint, the fabricated dream easily deceived an ordinary mortal.
Unfortunately, his current power was still weak, even if he had experienced the future events he would not know everything.
Therefore, the dream he constructed still had minor flaws.
In order to increase the credibility of the dream, Li Fan took out even the “The Godly Sword of Calming Seas”, a technique which was limited to Foundation Establishment Phase.
The aim was to make Zhang Haobo act on his behalf and provoke the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals to fight against the Crimson Flame.
Li Fan wanted to know, if they knew about the advent of the Essence of Heaven and Earth in advance, what would the responses of the cultivators on Ten Thousand Immortal Island be?
Of course, to prevent Zhang Haobo from being intimidated by the power of the
Crimson Flame and choosing to escape directly,
He had also given some psychological suggestions in the dream, making him feel responsible for preventing the tragedy from happening for his family and companions.
At the same time, he modified the strength of the Crimson Flame.
He made it look not invincible anymore, but defeatable.
It seems like it’s working pretty well so far.
In the future, he would have to come here every once in a while to strengthen it with the Mistwater Mirage Technique.
Thinking this, Li Fan used the Formless Killing Machine to secretly set his sights on Zhang Haobo, just in case he decided to sneak away..
