Chapter 94

**The Theory of Strange Objects**.

2000 contribution points.

Without batting an eye, he bought it.

Lin Fan began to read through it carefully.

Strange objects of heaven and earth are crucial for cultivators to lay the foundation of their Dao.

They are divided into three major categories: Heavenly Wonders, Earthly Wonders, and Human Wonders.

Heavenly Wonders align with the Heavenly Dao, but they are elusive and rarely seen or even heard of.

The book only provides one example.

The foundation of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.

Its importance even surpasses that of the Heavenly Profound Mirror.

The Derivation Jade.

It is unknown whose foundation-building wonder this is.

Its special effect is that it can continuously derive new cultivation techniques day and night.

...

Lin Fan paused in his thoughts as he read this.

"Kou Hong mentioned before that the cultivation techniques used by cultivators today are all newly compiled. I thought it was some prodigy who could create so many different techniques."

"Turns out it's not done by humans, but by these strange objects of heaven and earth."

Lin Fan indulged in his thoughts for a while before continuing to read.

Earthly Wonders are also extremely rare, but they can be traced.

They often appear alongside extraordinary natural phenomena.

The book provides several examples.

In Cangwu Province, the Four Rivers and Twenty-Eight Mountains.

In a certain year and month, they disappeared overnight, leaving behind only a bottomless abyss.

The Earthly Wonder, the Cangwu Mountain and Water Map, originated from this.

The continent's water system should flow from west to east, eventually reaching the sea.

In a certain year, month, and day, all the waters reversed, converging on Penglai Mountain.

It took three months to stop.

The Earthly Wonder, the Mother of All Waters, originated from this.

...

Lin Fan read with great interest.

"So, the Canghai Pearl is also an Earthly Wonder, then." He couldn't help but think.

It would be over a decade before the Canghai Pearl appeared.

It seemed to be near Liuyun Island.

He couldn't forget about this.

...

Next came the Human Wonders.

The vast majority of foundation-building wonders fall into the category of Human Wonders.

Human Wonders are often formed from the remains of cultivators who fell thousands of years ago, after undergoing a long transformation.

They are divided into three grades based on their quality: Upper, Middle, and Lower.

The higher the quality, the more powerful the cultivator who achieves the Dao foundation using it.

Lin Fan couldn't help but think of the Twisted Dragon Branch and the Rusty Sword Daoxuan.

He wondered what grade these two were.

However, from their displayed power, they were at least Middle grade or higher.

...

While the clone Lin Fan was immersed in the secrets of the cultivation world,

the original Lin Fan took advantage of the night to travel to Liuli Island through a teleportation array.

He didn't see He Zhenghao.

The one guarding the island's protective array was an unfamiliar cultivator.

He Zhenghao must have gone to explore a cave and hadn't returned yet.

Lin Fan didn't think much of it. After nodding to the other cultivator, he left the array, concealed his presence, and quietly went to Captain Zhang Haobo's house on the Cangyuan.

Looking at the sleeping Zhang Haobo, Lin Fan smiled slightly.

There were still 19 years until the Crimson Flame Scorching Sea.

Now that the clone was complete, some plans could be laid in advance.

The Cloud Water Illusion Technique was activated.

...

Zhang Haobo suddenly woke up from a nightmare, drenched in cold sweat.

He panted heavily, his fear still lingering.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses and looked around in a daze.

This is...

Liuli Island?

Could it be that everything was just a terrible nightmare?

But how could a dream be so real?

In the dream, he once caught a corpse while fishing at sea.

Along with the remains was a book.

Even though it had been soaked in seawater for a long time, the words were still clearly visible.

*The Stabilizing Sea Divine Sword*.

It was a cultivation secret technique from the ancient Cloud Water Heavenly Palace, capable of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

It could condense 24 Stabilizing Sea Divine Swords in the dantian to fight enemies, making it extremely powerful.

Thanks to this technique, he advanced rapidly in the dream, reaching the late Qi Condensation stage from a mere mortal in just a few years.

He was on the verge of Foundation Establishment, but then...

Thinking of the terrifying scene in the dream, Zhang Haobo couldn't stop trembling.

A crimson transparent figure suddenly appeared in the sky above the Cloud Water Sea.

In its hand, a seemingly weak flame flickered.

But this flame slowly boiled the entire Cloud Water Sea over the next ten years.

His family, his hometown, everything around him, was completely destroyed.

The cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortal Island fought desperately against it, but the figure was too strong and appeared too suddenly.

The Cloud Water Sea had become a no-man's land, impossible to enter or leave.

Without reinforcements, all the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortal Island ultimately sacrificed their lives, only managing to severely wound the figure.

Fiery flames rained down from the sky, burning the Ten Thousand Immortal Island to ashes.

The nightmare ended there.

Zhang Haobo remained unsettled for a long time.

Was it really just a dream...

How could a mere mortal like him dream so clearly about things like the Ten Thousand Immortal Island and the Heavenly Profound Mirror, which he had never even imagined before?

Even the cultivation technique...

Wait.

Zhang Haobo's eyes narrowed.

The *Stabilizing Sea Divine Sword* technique suddenly appeared in his mind!

Every word and sentence was crystal clear.

He stood up abruptly.

Not a dream?!

Then what is this...

Rebirth?!

He had read many strange stories with plots of being reborn decades before death.

He never thought it would happen to him.

It took a long time for Zhang Haobo to calm down.

He tried to recall the scenes from his previous life.

Unfortunately, perhaps because the crimson figure was too terrifying and dominated his mind,

he only had vague memories of major events from his past life.

However...

This was enough.

He looked back at his sleeping wife, his eyes becoming determined.

There were still a few years before the tragedy would occur.

If he prepared in advance and set up an ambush, he could definitely kill the crimson figure!

First, he needed to break through to the early Qi Condensation stage.

Then, he would join the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.

The story of his rebirth was too mysterious and couldn't be revealed to others.

He also needed to find a way to make the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance believe that the crimson figure would really appear.

Zhang Haobo, with the mindset of a late Qi Condensation cultivator from his past life, continuously planned in his mind.

...

Lin Fan watched Zhang Haobo's changing expression, nodding secretly when he saw that he had no intention of fleeing.

Zhang Haobo's belief in rebirth was, of course, the effect of Lin Fan's Cloud Water Illusion Technique.

Based on his real future experiences, the fabricated dream was more than enough to deceive a mere mortal.

Unfortunately, his current power was still shallow, and even with his future experiences, he couldn't know everything.

So, the constructed illusion still had significant flaws.

To increase the credibility of the dream, Lin Fan even went to great lengths to provide the *Stabilizing Sea Divine Sword* technique, which had been castrated to the Foundation Establishment stage.

He wanted Zhang Haobo to take his place and push the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance to fight the Crimson Flame.

Lin Fan wanted to know how the cultivators on the Ten Thousand Immortal Island would react if they knew in advance about the arrival of the Heavenly and Earthly Souls.

Of course, to prevent Zhang Haobo from being scared by the power of the Crimson Flame and choosing to flee,

he also implanted some psychological suggestions in the illusion, making him feel a sense of responsibility to stop the tragedy for his family and companions.

At the same time, he modified the strength of the Crimson Flame,

making it seem less invincible and more defeatable.

From the looks of it, the effect was quite good.

He would need to come back periodically to reinforce the illusion with the Cloud Water Illusion Technique.

Thinking this, Lin Fan secretly locked onto Zhang Haobo with the Unmanifest Killing Intent to prevent him from sneaking away.
