425: Chapter 425 Exchanging for an Immortal Life Experience!

Leaving the star where Venerable Jiu Lu resided.

Li Fan went straight back to the manor on the Qingyun Project Star.

Logging into the virtual network.

The first thing Li Fan saw was the announcement released by the Cosmic Cloud Company regarding the Hunting Assembly.

"Jointly established with the Lingxu Company?"

Looking at the content of the announcement, Li Fan was slightly surprised.

He thought it would be a joint effort with the Star Field like in previous years, but he hadn't expected it to be with the Lingxu Company.

Regarding this Lingxu Company, Li Fan didn't know much.

He only knew that it was also a superpower, one of the five giant forces in the Supreme Seat Domain.

However, it wasn't a big problem. It made no difference to him who it was jointly held with.

Immediately after,

Li Fan opened the points mall interface.

His personal account now clearly showed a balance of ten million points.

That's right.

This was precisely the point reward he received for placing first in his previous Sequence Assessment!

Looking at this long string of numbers, Li Fan couldn't help but feel excited. He immediately started browsing the mall to see if there were any suitable resources for him.

However,

he had rejoiced a bit too soon.

There were indeed many good things that could be exchanged for with these ten million points, but very few of them were what he wanted.

The resources he wanted required far more than ten million points.

After some consideration,

Li Fan decided to exchange for [Experience the Lifetime of an Immortal Existence].

Li Fan's expectations for this resource weren't high. It was purely for novelty's sake, and to see if he could gain some insights after watching it.

As Li Fan successfully made the exchange,

a long list of information appeared before him.

"Please select the Immortal Existence whose life you wish to experience:

1. Daosang the Immortal (Attained the Dao through the Great Dao of Fire)

2. Shuimu the Immortal (Attained the Dao through the Great Dao of Water)

3. Fanding the Immortal (Attained the Dao through the Great Dao of the Hammer)

..."

Looking at the information,

Li Fan was somewhat surprised.

He hadn't expected there to be so many choices, and they even clearly stated the Laws of the Dao these Immortals had attained.

This was quite convenient.

Choosing to experience the life of an Immortal who walked a similar Great Dao would undoubtedly yield greater gains.

After a brief scan, Li Fan quickly locked onto one Immortal.

"Puyun the Immortal (Attained the Dao through the Great Dao of Time)"

That's right.

It was this Puyun the Immortal!

Puyun the Immortal's entry was placed almost at the very end. Without patience, most people probably wouldn't even see it.

The reason for this was likely related to the Great Dao of Time, the scarcity of those who walk it, and its extreme difficulty.

However, Li Fan didn't mind this. Currently, he had quite a few insights regarding the Law of Time in his mind, but unfortunately, they were somewhat fragmented and hadn't truly coalesced into something substantial.

Observing the life of this Puyun the Immortal might bring him some unexpected harvests!

Subsequently, Li Fan immediately selected this Puyun the Immortal and confirmed the exchange.

[Congratulations! You have successfully unlocked the lifetime of Puyun the Immortal! (Note: Once you enter the experience, you cannot exit for one month. Please ensure you have a full month available before starting the experience!)]

With the exchange successful, nine million of Li Fan's ten million points were deducted, leaving only one million. Another prompt appeared before his eyes.

"Requires a full month, and you can't exit midway?"

"It seems I'll have to wait until after the Hunting Assembly."

Li Fan frowned slightly, feeling both amused and exasperated.

He hadn't expected there to be such a restriction.

In that case, he could only wait until later.

After exiting the points mall and just as Li Fan was about to log off,

he noticed there were many messages in his inbox from Golden Flash Bear Peng Song and others, as well as from Sang Yuening.

The content of the messages was mostly similar, all asking where he had been.

Faced with this,

Li Fan momentarily didn't know how to explain.

He couldn't tell the truth, could he?

Before parting with Venerable Jiu Lu, the other party had specifically reminded him to try not to mention this experience to outsiders.

Then, Li Fan simply sent a batch message stating he was safe and preparing to go into seclusion before hastily logging off.

That's right.

Li Fan planned to go into seclusion next.

Although the Hunting Assembly was very close,

Li Fan still wanted to seize this short interval to improve his strength as much as possible.

For instance, seeing if there was a chance to break through to Universe Level Four!

With less than half a month,

to be honest, it was a bit challenging.

However, during the two and a half months he spent comprehending the secret technique within the great luo celestial disk, his cultivation had been accumulating every moment. So, with effort, it was still very possible.

Soon after,

as Li Fan's message was sent,

Peng Song and the others who received it were all thrilled.

After two and a half months, Li Fan had finally surfaced!

The Hunting Assembly was only half a month away.

If Li Fan still hadn't shown up,

they probably would have thought he was going to miss it.

Originally, everyone wanted to go find Li Fan, but seeing his message about going into seclusion, they tactfully decided not to disturb him.

...

"That Li Fan!"

"He only shows up now! What on earth has he been doing all this time?!"

"And going into seclusion?!"

Inside Sang Yuening's manor.

Sang Yuening looked at the message Li Fan had sent, her pretty face flickering with displeasure.

Li Fan's broken promise had made her very angry, and she still felt that way even now.

She hadn't expected that upon reappearing, Li Fan wouldn't even mention the broken promise, and instead, he was going into seclusion.

Wasn't this a bit too dismissive of her?!

However, she didn't rush to Li Fan's manor in a rage to demand an explanation like before.

The reason wasn't that her temper had improved or her anger had subsided.

It was because she also planned to go into seclusion to prepare for the Hunting Assembly in half a month.

There was no other way.

The Ling Sang Pavilion had now set a goal for her: to break into the top five of the Hunting Assembly's leaderboard.

It must be said,

the pressure was truly immense.

If it were just about breaking into the top five within the Cosmic Cloud Company's training program, she would be very confident, even feeling quite at ease.

But adding the prodigies from the Lingxu Company's side,

the difficulty of breaking into the top five skyrocketed.

Moreover, from what she had heard, the Lingxu Company's talent program for this generation had produced a shocking figure who had already comprehended Four Strands of Law Power!

Although she didn't know how reliable this news was, such significant news probably wasn't completely groundless.

If the rumor were true, this prodigy who had comprehended Four Strands of Law Power would undoubtedly occupy one of the top five spots.

That would leave only four positions for her.

Combining both forces, the number of prodigies who had comprehended Three Strands of Law Power was now approaching twenty.

Four spots out of twenty—at first glance, it seemed okay, with a decent chance.

But in reality, it was extremely difficult!

Therefore,

her current focus needed to be on strengthening her strength as much as possible.

The arranged battle with Li Fan would have to be postponed.

If one were to look at the other top prodigies in the training area at this moment,

they were all, like Li Fan and Sang Yuening, in seclusion.

There was no other way.

Although the official competitive aspect of the Hunting Assembly wasn't overly emphasized,

the undercurrents beneath the surface had long since begun.

Anyone going in with a purely leisurely mindset would surely regret it.
