Gradually regaining consciousness, Li Fan felt his youthful twenty-year-old body and looked around at the familiar yet strange surroundings, taking a long time to slowly come to his senses.
In his previous life, though it lasted only 48 years, it felt longer than the combined span of his previous nine lives.
Aside from the complexity and excitement of the Immortal Cultivation World far surpassing the mundane life in the Great Xuan Kingdom, the key reason was the assimilation he experienced through the will of the Canghai Pearl, sensing the spirit of heaven and earth.
Of course, his first venture into the Immortal Cultivation World yielded significant gains.
Li Fan looked at the first option, the items he could choose from.
The storage ring purchased from the Profound Mirror and various scriptures need not be mentioned, but the extraordinary items like the Fragmented Stele and the Canghai Pearl were also prominently listed.
Li Fan focused his thoughts on the Canghai Pearl, understanding that if he chose it, he would obtain the Canghai Pearl that had already formed significantly by the end of his previous life.
Having merged his thoughts with the Canghai Pearl for over a decade, Li Fan was well aware of its powers.
Although tempted, Li Fan decisively chose the second option, retaining his cultivation realm.
After all, cultivation is fundamental. A mere mortal with treasures only invites disaster.
Moreover, Li Fan knew that the Canghai Pearl was still on Liuyun Island and could be retrieved later.
As Li Fan made his decision, two familiar streams of spiritual energy appeared out of thin air in his dantian.
At the same time, Li Fan's expression changed.
He suddenly remembered that he was still a mere mortal.
His body was still filled with immortal miasma, and if the sudden influx of spiritual energy clashed with it, he would be in grave danger.
Fortunately, Li Fan's concerns did not materialize.
A mysterious wave descended upon Li Fan, and moments later, the spiritual energy in his dantian surged like river water, sweeping through his entire body, transforming him and elevating his realm.
Qi Refining Initial Stage, Qi Refining Middle Stage, Qi Refining Late Stage!
In just a breath, he achieved the realm he had painstakingly reached in his previous life.
Li Fan's aura gradually stabilized.
His face, however, showed inexplicable shock.
It wasn't because he had instantly reached the Qi Refining Late Stage, but because of that mysterious wave!
Li Fan clearly felt that after the wave descended, the immortal miasma within him vanished in an instant, disappearing completely!
The effect far surpassed the forced expulsion through the Purification Spirit Pool formation in his previous life.
"This wave..." Li Fan carefully recalled the fleeting wave, feeling a sense of familiarity.
"It's the will of heaven and earth, the power of laws!" Li Fan suddenly realized.
In his previous life, through the Canghai Pearl, he had observed the spirit of heaven and earth for over a decade. Although he was far from refining and controlling it, he could recognize it.
"If the immortal miasma is the will of heaven and earth eternally separating immortals and mortals, then that wave was entirely its opposite."
"The immortal miasma, which troubled the Immortal Cultivation World for millennia, just vanished so effortlessly."
"Return to Origin, truly incredible."
"If I could master the method to purify the immortal miasma..." Li Fan's thoughts surged.
After a long time, he slowly calmed down.
The tower of nine levels begins with a pile of earth. With a Qi Refining realm, attempting to replicate that law power was nothing but a fool's dream.
He had to take it step by step.
Li Fan opened the Return to Origin panel, reviewing his previous life.

"The path of cultivation is extremely arduous. Especially in this world, where cultivators seize the heavens and earth, and killing intent pervades everywhere."
"In my previous life, I had just entered the Immortal Cultivation World and met Su Changyu. I thought he had a firm will and was dedicated to the Dao, destined for great achievements. Who would have thought he would die mysteriously in just a few days?"
"Instead, that unremarkable Xiao Heng beside him had extraordinary talent. Within a few years, he was on the verge of establishing his Dao foundation."
"Both He Zhenghao and I believed he would achieve the Golden Core Dao in his lifetime, but who would have thought..."
"The heavens had long laid down killing intent. The myriad beings in the Congyun Sea, regardless of temporary success or failure, whether cultivators or mortals, were destined to face death."
"Only that ordinary fisherman Zhang Haobo survived a calamity and had a fortuitous encounter, becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator."
"Such is the unpredictability of the world."
Recalling his previous life, Li Fan felt infinite emotions welling up.
Then, a hint of doubt arose in his heart.
"Just as I told Xiao Heng before, if the authorities plan to eliminate bandits, they wouldn't let the bandits know in advance. The heavens and cultivators are like the authorities and bandits."
"So when the heavens unleash killing intent to eliminate cultivators, the cultivators naturally cannot sense it. This is why when I asked the Profound Mirror if there was a disaster, it answered no. It was simply obscured by the heavenly secrets."
"Then why did the Wanhua Merchant Guild seem to be aware, ordering all its members to withdraw from the Congyun Sea?"
"And why didn't they warn the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals, allowing countless lives to be lost?"
"There must be something fishy here. If I have the chance in this life, I must uncover the truth."
After pondering for a long time, Li Fan made plans for this life.
"The Immortal Cultivation World is extremely dangerous. Before the Void Energy Charge is complete, it's best not to venture recklessly."
"Now that I cultivate the Xuanhuang Heart Refining Mantra, the charging speed is greatly accelerated. Unlike before, it won't take twenty years to complete. Within ten years, it should reach 100%."
"In this way, my arrival in the Immortal Cultivation World this time should be a decade earlier than in my previous life."
"I remember that during these ten years, something significant happened in the Congyun Sea. It's a good opportunity to plan ahead."
"Also, after the Congyun Sea dried up in my previous life, I saw the hidden treasures on various islands. Now, they remain unknown, and if given the chance, I should retrieve them one by one."
"The Xuanhuang Heart Refining Mantra repeatedly helped me overcome crises in my previous life. This cultivation method is truly extraordinary, and there seems to be more to it. I must cultivate diligently and not slack off."
"As for the Red Flame Burning Sea, whether I choose to escape alone or reveal it to the public..."
"I can only adapt to the situation when the time comes..."
In his previous life, Li Fan plunged into the unfamiliar Immortal Cultivation World, only reaching the Qi Refining Late Stage, and after forty-eight years, he perished.
In this life, with foresight, Li Fan believed he could go much further.
