Innate True Image, [Venerable Blood Palace], Secret Land
In an instant, these scenes vanished, transforming into specks of spiritual light that flowed into his innate Spirituality, greatly enhancing his intellect, perception, and spiritual awareness.
Various spiritual substances gradually purify and permeate one's life force, elevating one's essence, Essence Qi.
The primordial chaos descended from a higher dimension, allowing him to fully enter the pre-existing Chaos, making him closer, more intimate, and clearer with the laws and images of heaven and earth than ever before.
The birdsong was melodious, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
"Click!"
Li Fan awoke, the blood cocoon fell off, and a bright and handsome young man stepped out.
He may not appear to have changed at this moment, but his entire being has undergone a complete transformation.
Access your own comprehension data to more intuitively perceive the changes within yourself.
"[Intellect: Innate True Image]"
The so-called "Innate True Image" refers to the ability to perceive the imagery and True Intent of heaven and earth through innate inspiration.
At this moment, every blade of grass and every tree in the outside world, every speck of dust, was clearly visible in his perception. The runes of heaven and earth flowed, the laws and principles intertwined, and the images manifested were all so clear.
According to Li Fan's own estimation, his comprehension is at least no less than that of an ordinary Dao Foundation cultivator. If we add the fact that the Blood Star Space has expanded to a hundred miles, and he has been shaped into a Transcendent Realm cultivator with the support of his rank, his perspective and vision will be exactly the same.
He took a deep breath, completely dispelling the previous sense of urgency.
"Now, I could say that I have the potential to Dao Foundation."
At this moment, the 33 images required for the Supreme-Grade Dao Foundation [Venerable Blood Palace] were not so impossible to achieve in his eyes.
The Venerable Blood Palace] can control the blood of creatures in the air and the Blood Qi Dao cultivators. Combining six profound mysteries is not something that can be easily achieved.
To create 33 layers of the Blood Palace imagery using 33 different images is an extremely difficult task.
Fortunately, he had a cheat code, otherwise he would have had to honestly cultivate the Mid-Grade Dao Foundation [Blood Transformation Light].
Li Fan comprehended the various images required by the [Venerable Blood Palace] and formed a plan in his mind.
"These images are easy to create. My Blood Star Space is just the right place to guide me, allowing me to contemplate them at any time."
His spiritual power probed into the inner space, and a sizable crimson world appeared, with various unique landscapes and spiritual sites of the Blood Qi Dao everywhere.
A blood lake, several miles in size, condenses blood essence; a blood forest, stretching for miles, where various Blood Qi Dao spiritual plants grow luxuriantly; and a mountain range, several miles in size, that produces blood jade and blood gold.
The crimson glow of blood fire clinging to the barrier of the Blood Star Space also sprinkled wisps of blood yang Primordial Qi, bringing vitality to the entire space.
Not only that, but also, in another opposite location, there is a cold, transparent, blood-red light, hidden in the space, not revealed except at specific times.
The rivers of blood flowed and the seas of blood churned, the crimson world, yet it seemed to exude a vibrant life force, with all things vying for dominance.
Upon closer examination, Li Fan realized that he didn't need to create too many images.
"My Blood Star Space alone possesses no fewer than 20 completely different Blood Qi Dao imagery. With a little more accumulation and constant contemplation, it won't be too troublesome."
"It seems to be the most suitable cultivation method for me. My Innate Dao Deduction is truly considerate, taking into full account my own situation."
Immediately, he began to plan and lay out more spiritual sites and imagery.
Nine years passed in the blink of an eye, and a piece of good news awakened Li Fan from his deep comprehension during his seclusion.
The message was sent to him by several professors and teachers from Tianniu University.
"Hmm? The Fire Ox Secret Land is about to open!"
"I didn't expect there to be such an opportunity before I could form my Dao Foundation. It wouldn't hurt to take a look."
At the foot of the experimental tower of Tianniu University, dozens of professors and teachers gathered together, looking excited and ready to show off their skills.
"Haha! I never thought this old man would have the chance to enter a secret realm in his lifetime. This time, I must show my skills. If I can seize a [Imagery Dao Fruit], then I will die without regrets."
"Old Wang, you're really dreaming. With your old arms and legs, how can you compare to the young people? Once you're inside, just honestly pick up some rare spiritual items, and don't risk your life."
"That's right, we university teachers need to be rational. The accumulated Qi Destiny and spiritual plants over the years are enough to help someone become Dao Foundation Ghost Cultivator. Sitting in charge of a region then wouldn't be so unpleasant."
The others agreed; they had a way out and didn't need to compete with those young people who frequently fought against monsters.
At this moment, Li Fan also arrived, and several professors he knew immediately congratulated him.
"Teacher Li, you've really hit the jackpot! I've seen you cultivate to the Qi Refining Perfection for several years now, and I thought you were about to try to break through to the Dao Foundation. I never expected you to have this opportunity. You really have to give it your all."
Li Fan shook his head, not really caring.
"Professors, you are unaware of my ambitions. This Fire Ox Secret Land primarily produces Fire Element Impressions. Even if I obtained the [Imagery Dao Fruit], it wouldn't be of much use to me. I'm simply curious about what it's like inside, and I'm going to take a look before I break through."
Others agreed, saying that the other party was at the height of their Qi Destiny and there was no need to make things a life-or-death struggle.
Before long, two magnificent phenomena of rising water and fire descended from the sky, with the long river flowing and the Blazing Fire raging. They were the two vice presidents of Tianniu University.
The two Dao Foundation Establishment cultivators looked around and saw that most of the people had arrived. A magical flying boat was thrown out, quickly enlarged, and landed heavily on the ground.
The Fire Phase Dao Foundation cultivator's tone was not very polite, but it was a reminder nonetheless. His voice was loud and clear, resounding in everyone's ears and deafening.
"You are all cultivators who Qi Refining Perfection. Whether you wish to participate in the competition for the [Imagery Dao Fruit] is up to you. This is a journey, so don't blame others after you die."
The Water Phase Dao Foundation cultivator stepped forward to ease the tension, speaking in a gentle tone.
"Everyone, think it over carefully, then get on the flying boat. Don't miss the opening time."
Dozens of professors and teachers bowed in gratitude and immediately boarded the flying vessel.
Dao Foundation's magical power surged into the flying boat, and in an instant, their speed broke through the norm, covering 10 miles in a flash.
Li Fan felt the speed and the pressure of the Dao Foundation, and secretly sighed in his heart.
"As expected of the Purple Gold Demonic Dao, the gap between Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator and Qi Refining Perfection is as vast as the gap between an ordinary cultivator and a mortal."
He realized that only cultivators of the same realm could communicate with them and enter this circle.
Entering at a lower level is humiliating, while entering at a higher level brings no benefit.
The flying boat pierced through the sky, covering thousands of miles in the blink of an eye.
The Fire Ox Secret Land is hidden among a cluster of mountains and dense forests, tens of thousands of miles away from Tianniu City.
However, this was not too far for Dao Foundation cultivator, especially with the magical flying boat. In less than 10 minutes, they could sense various Dao Foundation images rising ahead, confirming that they had indeed arrived at their destination.
The spirit-powered flying boat suddenly decelerated at a speed that defied the laws of physics, until it reached the foot of a ten-thousand-meter-high mountain, where it finally came to a complete stop.
From other directions, flying boats, flying swords, and spaceships arrived one after another, almost one after the other.
However, they did not take another step forward, but maintained a certain distance.
Because the entrance to the Fire Ox Secret Land at the foot of the mountain ahead is protected by a powerful array, anyone who trespasses will be instantly killed, even those at the Dao Foundation Establishment stage.
A few minutes later, the strange phenomena at the entrance beneath the array below finally erupted in full force.
"Moo!"
A colossal fire bull, its entire body composed of flames, soared into the sky, shaking the mountains and forests.
The two Dao Foundation cultivators from Tianniu University shouted in unison, "The entrance to the secret realm has been opened! If you cultivators don't go now, when will you?"
The professors and teachers on the flying boat suddenly realized what was happening and, piloting their magical artifacts or glowing jade, plunged straight into the underground entrance formed by flames below.
But a streak of blood-red light shot into the room ahead of everyone else.
The lagging Qi Refining cultivators couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, because the blood-red light was so fast that no one could catch it, and it even left them behind, disappearing directly at the intersection.
"Who is this powerful expert? If he's incredibly brave!"
"It seems to be from Tianniu University. The blood-red light is a spell from the Blood Qi Dao. It should be that Blood Qi Dao PhD, Li Fan."
"He actually came too? I mean, is he about to break through? I just wonder how strong he is?"
The two cultivators from Tianniu University who were at the Dao Foundation were also surprised by the speed at which the blood light escaped.
"This speed is indeed outstanding at the Qi Refining Perfection level."
"That's our teacher, his name should be Li Fan, a genius in the Blood Qi Dao."
The two cultivators at the Water and Fire Dao Foundation instantly recognized this person's origins. To have achieved perfect cultivation in just over a decade, especially with an incomplete and narrow Blood Qi Dao cultivation method, truly demonstrated his talent.
Hey! Maybe this little guy can give us a surprise.
Li Fan was the first to rush into the Fire Ox Secret Land, directly riding the blood-red light towards the core area.
He wasn't without pursuers behind him; two streaks of fire and lightning repeatedly increased their speed, firmly locking onto him.
Li Fan wouldn't miss such a good opportunity to participate in a secret realm. Even if he couldn't use it himself, he could still exchange it for a decent Dao Foundation Spiritual Object.
As for his competitors, if someone could still beat him despite having such a powerful advantage, he had nothing to say but to express his admiration.
