Chapter 5 A Sudden Uproar

[End of this simulation]

…

Li Fan, who regained consciousness, was still immersed in the power of Daoxuanzi's sword.

"Is this a cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment..." Li Fan was shocked.

Kou Hong's power to destroy Xuanjing City with just a wave of his hand had already amazed Li Fan, and Daoxuanzi's last sword made Li Fan deeply feel his own insignificance.

Like an ant facing a tide, from Li Fan's perspective, he could not understand the sword at all, and could not see the full picture of the sword.

Even if it was just a glimpse, it was enough for Li Fan to understand the gap between mortals and cultivators who have reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

"If there were no immortal mortal miasma, I am afraid that even if I reincarnate for a hundred generations and come up with a hundred strategies, it would not be enough to pose a threat to them." Li Fan secretly rejoiced in his heart, but at the same time he felt extremely confused and frightened.

"What is this immortal-mortal miasma? Aren't immortals grown from mortals step by step? How can mortal blood have such a terrible inhibitory effect on immortals?" The hidden meaning behind this made Li Fan think about it.

However, Li Fan soon suppressed many thoughts.

"Let's summarize the gains and losses of this life first."

Looking at the scenes flashing on the light screen, Li Fan thought secretly in his heart.

"The ambush of Daoxuanzi and Kou Hong was basically within my expectations. First, I used bullets soaked in the blood of death row prisoners to consume their strength, then used the Jindan technique to move their minds, and then used the blood rain to make the final decision, weakening the two to the extreme and then capturing them alive..."

"I didn't expect that the immortal miasma would restrain the immortal cultivators so much that it directly led to Kou Hong's death."

"What was even more unexpected was that I originally thought that the hundred-year brothers mentioned by these two people were just casually talking, but I didn't expect that the relationship between the two was indeed unusual. When they were attacked, Daoxuanzi would remind Kou Hong, and Kou Hong knew that he could not escape death, so he took the initiative to give Daoxuanzi the Jindan technique."

"Daoxuanzi saw that Kou Hong died in the conspiracy, and he gave up his life in dismay, and used a sword that would kill both of them to avenge Kou Hong... All this shows that there is indeed an extraordinary friendship between the two..."

"In this case, why would the two of them fight each other because of a Jindan technique?" Li Fan was increasingly puzzled.

Suddenly, he remembered the scenes when he first saw the two.

"On the Golden Elixir Road, there is only me and no one else..." Li Fan suddenly thought, "Can't we practice the immortal arts together..."

"If we are as close as brothers, what is the scene of the immortal world outside?"

Li Fan had a hunch that the immortal world in this world might be completely different from what he expected.

"No matter how dangerous the front is, I will not waver. What's more, I have the help of [Zhenzhen]. As long as I am careful enough, there will be no difficulties that can hinder me."

However, after wavering for a moment, Li Fan's determination was re-firmed.

"In this so-called immortal land, if you want to seek the immortal way, you still have to find a way with Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi. Last time I chose to attack them both at the same time, maybe this time, I can choose to win over one of them." Thinking quickly, Li Fan thought of several ways to deal with them in his mind in a blink of an eye.

Although the other party was a high-ranking foundation cultivator, Li Fan was not afraid. In fact, Li Fan did not seriously treat him as a formal "opponent".

It's not that Li Fan is arrogant, but the function of [Huanzhen] that can be repeated over and over again is too amazing!

How can the cultivation of just the foundation-building period compare to fifty years of foresight and countless trial and error opportunities?

After the simulation ended, Li Fan still chose the option to speed up the progress of the virtual energy charging.

Name: Li Fan

Realm: Mortal

Physiological age: 20/86

Psychological age: 216/1080↑

Progress of virtual energy charging: 30%

"The upper limit of the psychological age has only increased by a few decades this time, and it seems that it is almost at the upper limit." Li Fan was mentally prepared for this, so he didn't pay much attention.

"If you count the life before the time travel, this is my fifth life. The road to immortality is so difficult." Li Fan sighed. "I hope these fifty years will not be wasted."

Li Fan started a fifty-year wait again.

Just like the set program, everything went according to plan.

Imperial examination, passing the imperial examination, becoming the top scholar.

Being a county magistrate, mining minerals, and making guns.

After killing the King of Langya and replacing him, Li Fan was a little impatient.

Ten years is too long. If he cannot control the world, he will always have to hide in Jiangnan. If he can be given another ten years to mobilize the power of the whole world, then the plan to capture the two immortals alive will have a better chance of success.

So, Li Fan decided to send his confidant to sneak into the palace and secretly give the emperor a chronic poison.

Who would have thought that it was this decision that caused things to fluctuate.

It turned out that although Li Fan's confidant's drugging was not discovered, the emperor was young and strong, but his health was getting worse day by day, and he became a little suspicious.

He suspected that someone was secretly harming him. And the chief suspect was the King of Langya, who was originally his best brother.

This also led to the fact that when the emperor was critically ill after anchoring for 7 years, he did not pass the throne to the King of Langya, but to the King of Runan, who was always a little cynical.

Fortunately, the insider Li Fan planted in the palace passed on the news in time, and Li Fan took immediate action after hearing the news.

On the one hand, he sent his men to assassinate the King of Runan on his way to Beijing; on the other hand, in the name of the King of Langya, he claimed that the emperor was harmed by the traitors around him. Under the banner of "pacifying the country", he led the army he had built over the years and marched all the way. Before everyone could react, he attacked the capital and occupied the court by force.

Such drastic measures naturally have many sequelae.

First of all, the ministers in the court were dissatisfied. The emperor's will passed the throne to the King of Runan. Isn't it a rebellion for you, the King of Langya, to do this? Although the ministers were oppressed by Li Fan's force on the surface and could not resist openly. But they could still do it in a passive strike. Some even secretly contacted the princes of various places, trying to let them lead their troops to Beijing to "set things right". Li Fan was not soft-hearted, and he killed a group of people to barely deter them. Then there was the help of his cheap father-in-law, the chief university scholar, and it took several months to stabilize the situation.

In the past few months, the various places in Daxuan have been in turmoil. The vassal kings in various places have established themselves and turned a deaf ear to the orders of the court.

So Li Fan could only send troops to eliminate them one by one.

Although firearms are powerful, they are limited in number. In addition, the territory of Daxuan is vast, so it really took a lot of effort.

Wars and political affairs made Li Fan very anxious.

He was busy for a long time, and it was not until the 22nd year of anchoring that the internal and external troubles were completely resolved.

In this way, compared with if he had been patient and followed the procedures before, it took a few years later to completely control the world.

"It is better to be cautious and keep calm." After everything settled down, Li Fan felt helpless and could only learn from the lesson. "A slight mistake can lead to a great mistake. If there are too many variables, my advantage of foresight will be greatly reduced."

Fortunately, everything was just a little ripple and did not affect the overall situation.

After things gradually got back on track, the gears of time moved forward rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it came to the 35th year of anchoring.

This year, Li Fan left Xuanjing City and traveled thousands of miles to Dongfang Xuyuan.
