Chapter 465: Chapter 437: Changes over a Millennium

“Managing to get your hands on even the entrance exam questions, not to mention even more confidential information…”

The Five Elders’ Monk’s voice gradually deepened as he fell into thought and speculation.

After a moment, he collected himself and looked at “Zhou Qingang”.

“Despite some minor flaws, establishing a connection with the organization behind He Zhenghao and getting their information is a major achievement.”

He tossed over a Storage Ring.

“Within it is the [Heaven-Earth Devouring Grand Technique] you wanted, along with some Enlightenment Pills.”

“Additionally, there are also Spirit Stones worth fifty-thousand contribution points, a reward for the merit you’ve earned this time.”

Upon hearing this, Li Fan received the Storage Ring and his face lit up with joy.

“Fifty thousand contribution points? How generous of the boss!”

The Five Elders’ Monk snorted, “Accomplishments certainly deserve rewards. Going forward, while you continue to stay undercover, make sure to maintain a good relationship with He Zhenghao.”

“If you can, try to probe any information about the mysterious organization behind him.”

“Of course, don’t force it. If you can exchange spirit stones for their secrets, that’s enough.”

Li Fan repeatedly nodded in agreement.

“Alright, you may go now.”

“We’ve been meeting quite frequently lately. For a while, do not meet me unless absolutely necessary, to avoid raising suspicions.”

“In case of emergencies, we’ll contact you.”

After imparting careful instructions, the Monk left Youlan Island.

Li Fan’s avatar then leisurely made his way back.

On Taian Island, Li Fan’s main body had been waiting for quite some time.

“Fifty thousand and five contribution points, three bottles of Enlightenment Pills, and the Heaven-Earth Devouring Grand Technique…”

“This haul is not bad.”

Li Fan nodded slightly when he totaled up the items from his main body’s and avatar’s storage rings.

“With such a vast amount of contribution points, whatever I plan to do next will certainly be much easier.”

Just after a quick glance, Li Fan stopped focusing on the pile of Spirit Stones.

Once a certain volume is reached, adding more simply becomes a string of numbers.

Moreover, for someone like him, who could repeatedly [reincarnate], the more times he reincarnated, the more information he could grasp, and the easier it became for him to gain contribution points.

Li Fan began reading the [Heaven-Earth Devouring Grand Technique] first.

For safety, it was Zhou Qingang, his avatar, who looked at the Jade Scroll.

The language style was significantly different from the Techniques available for exchange in the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance Heaven Mysterious Mirror.

It wasn’t straightforward and only focused on the key points of cultivation.

Instead, it was mixed with many complex phrases, making it quite obscure and difficult to understand.

“A distinct ancient method style…”

Fortunately, having already practiced several techniques that had been handed down from antiquity, Li Fan was able to read it completely after half a day.

The Heaven-Earth Devouring Grand Technique isn’t a primary cultivation technique used to enhance cultivation levels.

Nor is it a mere secret technique used to alter the way cultivators absorb Spiritual Energy.

More than that, it is like a Divine Technique.

In addition to brutally drawing in the power of Ley Lines and Spirit Veins to convert into Spiritual Energy for cultivation, it can also speed up and promote the progress of primary cultivation techniques.

Typically, there is a certain limit to the spiritual energy cultivators can draw in.

If they continue to draw in energy after reaching their capacity, it could even pose a risk of their bodies exploding and dying.

However, cultivating the [Heaven-Earth Devouring Grand Technique] removes this worry.

Excess energy will become a catalyst that accelerates cultivation.

The more energy absorbed, the faster the technique runs.

Until one breaks through to a higher realm and can devour even more energy.

This cycle repeats continuously until heaven and earth are devoured.

Of course, the premise is not to get caught and be mincemeat.

Without a doubt, this parasitic style of cultivation is even more dreadful than the Tianzun New Method.

It can cause almost irreversible damage to heaven and earth in a short time, making it an enemy of every other cultivator.

However, as long as it can boost his cultivation, Li Fan couldn’t care less even if he becomes the enemy of the world.

After a careful comprehension, Zhou Qingang’s clone started trying to operate the [Heaven-Earth Devouring Grand Technique].

In an instant, his eyes turned red.

The entire world in his sight changed, becoming unrecognizable.

Distinctions between people, scenes, and objects vanished.

Only the distinction between delicious and tasteless remained.

The clone stared at his counterpart for a while before looking down at Taian Island below.

The earthy-yellow leylines stretched from the bottom of the island to the ocean floor.

They connected in all directions with the earth.

It looked very appetizing.

The clone’s hands gently covered the ground, and a suction force burst out from the palms of his hands.

“Hmm?”

To Li Fan’s surprise, according to the description of the technique, the power of the ley lines should have been absorbed into the body without any resistance at this point.

But it remained still.

“What’s going on?”

After Li Fan double-checked and confirmed he wasn’t practicing incorrectly, he tried again.

This time, he let go of the restrictions and increased suction.

The power of ley lines shivered slightly but like a linked whole, it couldn’t be swayed.

Delicious food lingered in front of his eyes, but he couldn’t enjoy it.

The eyes of the clone turned even redder.

He grew anxious, persistently increasing the suction power of the Heaven-Earth Devouring Grand Technique.

The ley lines continuously resisted.

Under the clash of these two forces, the whole Taian Island trembled slightly.

If this continues, this abnormal movement will surely arouse others’ suspicions.

But the clone didn’t care and showed absolutely no sign of stopping.

Only when the observing main body took action, knocking Zhou Qingang out with a slap, did the trembling of Taian Island subside.

“This Heaven-Earth Devouring Technique is quite evil…”

Li Fan frowned slightly.

The consciousness of the main body and the clone was one and the same, there should not be a situation where the clone loses control.

But just now, influenced by the desire to “eat”.

Li Fan’s consciousness appeared to split into two halves.

When his clone saw his main body, he even had a slight thought of devouring him.

But he could control it then.

When his “eating” was blocked, and desire unsatisfied.

The clone was totally beguiled.

He knew full well the consequences of forcibly absorbing the Taian Island ley lines, but he just couldn’t stop himself.

“No wonder its creator didn’t know when to stop. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but that he just couldn’t.”

Li Fan couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful.

Not regretting the other’s fate, but regretting that he couldn’t use this secret technique for himself.

“No need to worry too much. I have the Mountain Seizing Scripture, the Heaven-Earth Devouring Technique is just the icing on the cake.”

“Besides, I can actually let others practice this technique, and I can reap the benefits.”

After pondering for a moment, Li Fan put it aside for the time being.

His gaze went through the layers of barriers, looking down at the ley lines of Taian Island.

“The Array of Mountains and Rivers from the past had already connected all the ley lines in the world. Although the array has now been replaced with the Heaven Yuan Life Formation, the effect remains.”

“Even if I want to use Heaven-Earth Devouring Technique, it won’t be as easy as in the ancient times.”

“The world-ending evil technique from thousands of years ago is now reduced to this level of uselessness with the passing of time.”

“No wonder the Five Elders’ Organization gave it to a Foundation Establishment spy so easily.”

Li Fan shook his head and sighed.
