Chapter 393: Mysterious Heavenly Fate

“Friend Li Fan, are you alright?”

Qi Buyi and the others noticed that Li Fan’s expression suddenly became somewhat unpleasant, and asked with concern.

Li Fan: Li Fan showed a forced smile, “Maybe I’m just getting old and not used to the lively atmosphere here. Suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable.”

Gu Youguang felt a bit guilty, “I shouldn’t have bothered you during rest!”

Li Fan waved his hand slightly, “Brother Gu, don’t worry about it. I’ll go back and rest.”

Xiang and Gu nodded repeatedly.

Before leaving, Qi Buyi looked at Li Fan and suddenly asked, “Can you tell me, in the past few years, although you have known that your time is running out, how did you maintain such an optimistic and fearless state?”

Xiang Liu and Gu Youguang also looked curious.

Li Fan: Li Fan paused for a moment and said calmly, “Treat every day as the last day, and then there’s no fear of death.”

“Just that.”

There was a strange light in Qi Buyi’s eyes, nodding slowly.

“Next, before the end of the grand competition, I will arrange for you a slightly easier but still important task for the construction of the Soul Locking Array.”

“Consider it something you deserve.”

After a while, Qi Buyi spoke again.

Li Fan showed no excitement on his face, just calmly said, “In that case, thank you, Senior Qi.”

Then bid farewell to everyone and returned to the small courtyard rented at the Dao Pavilion.

In the secret room, Li Fan sorted out the sudden reappearance of the memories of the avatar in his mind.

And also recalled some of the countermeasures his main body had taken earlier.

Taking out the blank jade slip from the storage ring, sure enough, the content was restored.

When the avatar Xiao Fan and Han Yi left the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, they decided to travel together to the Yuandao Province.

At that time, it was close to anchoring for 29 years, and the “Ten Years Disappearance of Yuandao Province” incident was about to occur.

To test the influence of the “it” lurking above the Yuandao Province, Li Fan recorded this matter in a cryptic manner on the jade slip only he knew about.

For comparison, Li Fan also inscribed the words “Dao” and “Source” on two blank jade slips respectively.

As Li Fan had expected.

When the time entered the 29th year of anchoring, Li Fan unconsciously lost all memories related to the Yuandao Province and everything associated with it.

Even the existence of the avatar in the Yuandao Province was forgotten by himself.

Not only the memories, but the records in the jade slip also became completely blank.

Only the words “Dao” and “Source” inscribed separately remained.

(TL Note: Yuan can be translated as Source)

“Can’t remember, can’t recall…” Li Fan’s expression became extremely solemn.

“If it weren’t for the fact that I couldn’t create the avatar, it would be extremely difficult to notice anything.”

“However, even so, knowing that something is wrong and happening, I still couldn’t recall anything about the Yuandao Province.”

“Until now, anchoring for 39 years…”

“The disappeared Yuandao Province reappeared on the earth.”

“In fact, even now that I know what happened to the avatar, but they are completely unaware of all this…”

At the same time, in the Yuandao Province.

“Friend Xiao Fan, what’s wrong?” Han Yi turned to look at Xiao Fan, surprised.

They were currently heading to a remnant of the Heavenly Capital.

It is said that in ancient times, the Heavenly Capital was suspended above the nine heavens, known as the origin of Dao, the leader of all sects.

Later, for unknown reasons, the Heavenly Capital fell to the earth, forming more than ten relics within the current territory of the Yuandao Province.

Their purpose in this trip was one of them.

He had a premonition that there might be a great opportunity waiting ahead.

With this in mind, Han Yi glanced at Xiao Fan again.

“This person’s fortune is obscure and difficult to discern. According to the ‘Heavenly Fate Scripture’, it’s either that his fortune is too strong, beyond what I can currently discern; or his fortune is too weak, almost nonexistent, so it cannot be discerned.”

“He can obtain the Longevity Fruit of three hundred years, which definitely belongs to the former. Perhaps this trip can make use of his fortune.”

Han Yi secretly thought.

The ‘Heavenly Fate Scripture’ was the cultivation technique he practiced, created by an extraordinary figure who observed the ancient divine bird, the Heavenly Fate Phoenix.

This technique is the reason he obtained the top prize at the fishing contest and started the Heavenly Feather Pill in the Blue Feather Treasure Box.

The ‘Heavenly Fate Scripture’ had many mysterious uses, but the most core aspect was the ability to control one’s own fortune.

According to the scripture, the fortune of living beings is not constant, but constantly interacts with the outside world.

If one cannot control their own fortune, then in each successive ‘stroke of luck’, it will be continuously diminished.

And practicing the ‘Heavenly Fate Scripture’, one can usually converge their own fortune, avoiding wasting it on unnecessary matters.

When the critical moment arrives, one can then burst out the accumulated fortune all at once.

Thus, achieving almost a state of achieving whatever one desires.

Of course, side effects are inevitable. After the outburst, there will be a long period of decline.

During this time, it can be said that even drinking cold water would feel like having one’s teeth stuffed, and everything would go wrong.

The solution is to find someone with strong fortune and follow them closely.

Use their fortune to resolve the crisis.

However, the avatar Xiao Fan could not know Han Yi’s thoughts.

At the moment when the disappeared ten years were restored, the experiences shared from his main body flooded into his mind.

But his senses did not perceive any loss of time.

The tremendous contrast brought about a sense of dislocation, making the avatar feel extremely uncomfortable.

However, he didn’t show it in front of Han Yi.

He remained calm and flew alongside him.

Xiao Fan: “It’s nothing, just suddenly remembered some past events.” With that, the avatar looked up at the sky, his expression inexplicable.

Han Yi: “Oh? Friend Xiao, have you also been to this Yuandao Province?” Han Yi asked curiously.

“Hehe, that’s something from a long time ago.”

As they chatted, the two with their own agendas set off towards the remnants of the Heavenly Capital once again.

Meanwhile, at Li Fan’s original body in the Tianchen Province, after realizing the feelings of his avatar, he also pondered.

“Although ‘it’ has temporarily disappeared, its influence remains. The beings in the Yuandao Province are completely unaware that ten years of their time have been consumed.”

“Even though the avatar knew the established facts, he still couldn’t detect anything unusual.”

“The power of distorted perception is so formidable.”

“The reason I was able to quickly perceive it is not because I have freed myself from its influence, but because…”

“My perception is based on the experience of being consumed by ten years of time in the twelfth return, not in this life.”

“Although ‘its’ power is strong, it cannot penetrate time.”

With these thoughts, Li Fan deeply exhaled a breath of turbid air.

The slight shadows brought by ‘it’ in his heart gradually dissipated.

“For now, it seems that as long as I eliminate the traces left by it on me, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.”

    Chapter 393 – The Profound Heavenly Fate Scripture

    “Li Fan, are you all right?”

    Qi Buyi and the others all noticed that Li Fan’s complexion suddenly turned a little pale and asked with concern.

    Li Fan showed a forced smile. “Perhaps I am getting old. I’m not quite suited to such a lively atmosphere—my body suddenly feels somewhat unwell.”

    Hearing this, Gu Youguang looked slightly guilty. “Had I known, I wouldn’t have disturbed your rest, fellow cultivator!”

    Li Fan lightly waved his hand. “Brother Gu, there’s no need to take it to heart. I only need to go back and rest for a while.”

    Xiang Liu and Gu Youguang both nodded repeatedly.

    Before he left, Qi Buyi looked at Li Fan and suddenly asked, “Can you tell me—over these past years, even though you knew your life was nearing its end, how were you still able to remain so calm and unafraid?”

    Xiang Liu and Gu Youguang also looked on curiously.

    Li Fan’s steps paused slightly. He said calmly, “Treat every day as if it were the last, and then there is no need to fear death. That is all.”

    A peculiar light flickered in Qi Buyi’s eyes as she slowly nodded.

    “Before the grand competition concludes, I will arrange a slightly lighter task for you—one still crucial to the construction of the Spirit-Locking Formation. Consider it your due reward.”

    After a moment, Qi Buyi spoke softly.

    Li Fan’s expression did not show the slightest excitement; he simply replied faintly, “In that case, many thanks, Senior Qi.”

    Then he took his leave, returning once more to the small courtyard he had rented at the Hall of Discourse.

    Within the secret chamber, Li Fan organized the memories that had suddenly returned from his missing incarnation—along with the precautionary measures he had once taken.

    He retrieved from his storage ring a blank jade slip, which had now regained its inscribed content.

    After his incarnation, Xiao Fan, and Han Yi left the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, they decided to travel together to Origin Dao Province.

    At that time, it was close to the twenty-ninth anchored year—the very moment when the “Ten Years of Vanished Origin Dao Province” event was about to occur.

    To test the true extent of the influence exerted by the entity that hovered over Origin Dao Province, Li Fan had recorded a secret message within the jade slip using a cipher known only to himself.

    For comparison, he also inscribed the characters “Dao” and “Origin” on two other blank jade slips.

    As Li Fan had anticipated—

    When time reached the twenty-ninth anchored year, he unconsciously lost all memories of Origin Dao Province and everything related to it.

    Even the existence of his incarnation within that province had been ignored by his own mind.

    Not only his memories, but even the contents of the jade slip had become entirely blank.

    Only the two characters “Origin” and “Dao” remained.

    “Unrecordable… unrememberable…” Li Fan’s expression grew solemn.

    “If I had not lost the ability to condense incarnations, I might never have discovered the anomaly.”

    “Yet even knowing that something is wrong, I still cannot recall anything about Origin Dao Province.”

    “Until now—the thirty-ninth anchored year—”

    “The vanished Origin Dao Province has once again appeared upon the earth.”

    “In truth, even though I now know what happened to my incarnation, that incarnation itself remains completely unaware…”

    At the same time, within Origin Dao Province—

    “Xiao Fan, what’s wrong?” Han Yi turned back, puzzled to see Xiao Fan suddenly stop.

    They were traveling toward the ruins of the Celestial Capital.

    It was said that in ancient times, the Celestial Capital hung high above the Nine Heavens, known as the Source of the Dao and the First of All Doctrines.

    Later, for reasons unknown, the Celestial Capital fell to the earth, leaving behind more than ten ruins scattered across the present-day Origin Dao Province.

    Their goal lay within one of those ruins.

    Han Yi had a feeling that great fortune awaited them ahead.

    Thinking this, he glanced again at Xiao Fan.

    “This person’s fate is obscured and indistinguishable,” Han Yi thought to himself. “According to the Heavenly Fate Scripture, this means one of two things—either his destiny is so strong it exceeds what I can perceive, or so weak it is nearly nonexistent. There is no other explanation.”

    “For him to have obtained the Rebirth Longevity Fruit, granting three hundred years of added life, it must be the former. Perhaps on this journey, I can borrow some of his fortune.”

    The Heavenly Fate Scripture was the cultivation method Han Yi practiced—a scripture created by a strange being who once observed the divine powers of the ancient beast known as the Heavenly Fate Black Bird.

    It was also why Han Yi had won the top prize in the Dingyu competition and received the Celestial Capital Feather Transformation Pill from the Blue Feather Treasure Box.

    The Heavenly Fate Scripture possessed many profound wonders, but its core principle lay in the ability to control one’s own fortune.

    According to the scripture, a living being’s fortune is never constant; it is always interacting with the external world.

    If one cannot control it, one’s fortune will be consumed little by little with every stroke of good luck.

    By cultivating the Heavenly Fate Scripture, one can restrain one’s fortune during ordinary times, avoiding waste on trivial matters.

    Then, in a critical moment, that stored fortune can be released all at once—achieving results nearly akin to “wish fulfillment.”

    Of course, the side effects were inevitable. After releasing such power, a long period of misfortune would follow—where even drinking cold water could crack one’s teeth.

    The only way to resolve it was to find someone of great fortune and remain near them—to borrow their luck and turn calamity to safety.

    Yet Xiao Fan, Li Fan’s incarnation, knew nothing of Han Yi’s hidden thoughts.

    At the instant the ten missing years were restored, all the experiences of his true self during that time surged into his mind.

    But his senses felt no gap in time at all.

    The vast dissonance between memory and perception left him feeling deeply uneasy.

    However, before Han Yi, he betrayed no sign of it.

    His expression remained calm as he rose into the air to follow.

    “It’s nothing,” he said. “I just recalled some old memories.” Raising his head, he gazed at the sky, his expression unreadable.

    “Oh? Has Fellow Li been here before, to Origin Dao Province?” Han Yi asked curiously.

    “Heh, that was a very long time ago.”

    Amid idle talk, the two—each harboring their own intentions—continued on toward the ruins of the Celestial Capital.

    Meanwhile, in Heaven-Morning Province, Li Fan’s true body sat quietly. Having experienced his incarnation’s sensations, he fell deep into thought.

    “Though that entity has temporarily vanished, its influence still remains. All the living beings within Origin Dao Province are completely unaware that ten years of their lives have been devoured.”

    “Even knowing the truth, my incarnation could not sense anything amiss.”

    “To distort perception itself—to such a degree…”

    “The reason I could notice so quickly is not because I escaped its influence, but because…”

    “My awareness is rooted in the twelfth lifetime, where ten years were devoured— not in this one.”

    “Its power, though immense, cannot pierce through time.”

    At that thought, Li Fan exhaled a long, heavy breath.

    The faint shadow left by that entity upon his heart slowly dissipated.

    “For now, as long as I erase the trace it left upon me, there should be no further harm.”
