556: Chapter 556 Peak Eighth-Order Domain Lord, Farewell!

"Break for me!"

Li Fan shouted thunderously, a golden light bursting from his eyes.

Under the backflow and scouring of this endless cosmic primordial energy, his cultivation surged explosively!

Domain Lord Rank Seven!

Peak Domain Lord Rank Seven!

Domain Lord Rank Eight!

Peak Domain Lord Rank Eight!

In just a few breaths' time.

Li Fan's cultivation directly broke through two major stages, reaching the terrifying Peak Domain Lord Rank Eight!!

At this point.

Li Fan also came to a stop.

"As expected, cultivation becomes increasingly difficult the further one goes. I thought I had a chance to charge into Rank Nine, but I only reached the peak of Rank Eight, falling just a hair short."

Li Fan couldn't help but frown, muttering softly to himself.

Clearly.

Although his strength had increased significantly, it hadn't met his expectations.

However, Li Fan soon came to terms with it.

That's how cultivation is; it gets harder the further you go.

Besides, his speed wasn't exactly slow.

In fact, compared to those so-called ordinary geniuses, Li Fan going from Domain Lord Rank Six to Peak Domain Lord Rank Eight in two months was practically a fantasy, an impossible feat!

"Time is almost up; I have to go out."

After taking a deep breath, Li Fan checked the time and then spoke slowly.

In two more days, his time in the cloud cultivation pod would be a full year.

Li Fan didn't plan to use these last two days for anything else.

Because he had calculated the time in the outside world.

It seemed that the departure for the Cosmic Abyss was not far off.

Immediately.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Fan restrained his aura and walked directly toward the exit.

...

At the exit.

At this moment, Instructor Tai Fang was pacing back and forth, his brow furrowed.

"Is this kid really going to wait until the very last second to come out?"

"We're about to set off."

He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

According to the time inside the cloud cultivation pod, Li Fan had been in there for almost a full year.

Li Fan's utilization rate was a bit too efficient.

It was almost time to leave.

And just as Instructor Tai Fang was pacing, wondering when Li Fan would come out.

A figure suddenly appeared at the exit.

This was, of course, Li Fan.

"Li Fan!"

Seeing Li Fan appear, Instructor Tai Fang's face couldn't help but show joy, and he immediately went to meet him.

Li Fan had finally come out!

And soon.

After he sized Li Fan up slightly, a flash of surprise and suspicion crossed his eyes.

It seemed that getting Li Fan that cloud cultivation pod really wasn't in vain!

Li Fan's strength had become much stronger again!

Although he couldn't see the specifics, from the invisible pressure in Li Fan's every move, he could tell that Li Fan's strength had surged at least dozens of times over!

"Instructor Tai Fang?"

"Is something the matter?"

Seeing Instructor Tai Fang seemingly waiting here early made Li Fan feel a bit surprised.

This wasn't his first time in a cloud cultivation pod; he knew the procedure for coming out, and it shouldn't require the instructor to wait at the door personally.

Instructor Tai Fang smiled.

There was indeed something.

And he didn't hide it.

"There is something."

"Before Senior Wine Lu left, he asked me to give this to you when you were about to set off for the Cosmic Abyss."

As Instructor Tai Fang spoke, he handed a talisman to Li Fan.

"Senior Wine Lu?"

"What is this?"

Hearing Instructor Tai Fang's words and looking at the talisman in his hand, Li Fan was quite surprised.

He never expected that Senior Wine Lu would be so concerned about him as to leave something behind.

Although he didn't know the specific effect of this talisman.

Judging by the energy fluctuations and the terrifying Dao rhythm within it, it clearly wasn't an ordinary object.

To this, Instructor Tai Fang quickly provided the answer.

"This is Senior Wine Lu's Life Dream Talisman. Generally speaking, he would never give it to others."

"Life Dream Talisman?"

Li Fan frowned, very confused.

"Yes. You might know that Senior Wine Lu attained the Dao through the Great Dao of Dreams. This Dao is very niche; most people haven't even heard of it. However, the strength of one who attains the Dao through it is not at all inferior to those Venerables who attain the Dao through the Great Dao of Thought, and is perhaps even more terrifying."

"As long as one enters a slumber and is invaded by Senior Wine Lu, Senior Wine Lu is almost invincible within the dream. Unless one can break free from the dream in a short time, they will be annihilated by Senior Wine Lu. And being annihilated in a dream actually means the physical body in reality is also annihilated."

Instructor Tai Fang continued.

Hearing this, a storm of shock rose in Li Fan's heart.

The Great Dao of Dreams.

This indeed sounded quite terrifying!

"And this Life Dream Talisman allows others to directly enter Senior Wine Lu's dreamscape to communicate with him."

"Generally, he only gives this talisman to those he trusts most, so it seems he trusts and appreciates you very much."

"Now that he's given this to you, he'll likely contact you in a dream when the time comes. As for what specifically he'll want from you, that's unclear."

Instructor Tai Fang explained further.

Hearing this, Li Fan basically understood the situation with the talisman.

Although it wasn't the life-saving charm he had guessed, it was equally precious.

With this talisman, he could meet and contact Venerable Wine Lu in a dream.

As for why he was given this talisman.

His first thought was the fragments of the great luo celestial disk!

It was very likely that Venerable Wine Lu was currently somewhere searching for fragments of the great luo celestial disk, and once there was news, he would contact him through this talisman.

"I understand. I will take good care of this talisman."

Li Fan nodded, accepted the talisman, and then respectfully bowed to Instructor Tai Fang.

Instructor Tai Fang also nodded. "Mm, there's nothing else. We set off for the Cosmic Abyss the day after tomorrow morning. You still have some time; perhaps you can go back and say goodbye to your family. I have some other matters to attend to, so I'll be going now."

With that, Instructor Tai Fang turned into a streak of light and disappeared on the spot.

Li Fan shrugged.

Instructor Tai Fang had actually anticipated his thoughts.

He really did want to go back and have one last gathering with Gu Ling, Li Daguo, and the others.

...

Returning to the planet where Gu Ling, Li Daguo, and the others were.

Seeing Li Fan return.

All three of them were extremely excited.

However, upon realizing Li Fan had come to say goodbye and was about to head to the Cosmic Abyss, that excitement turned into worry.

If it were long ago, they might not have wanted Li Fan to go to the Cosmic Abyss.

But now, they had also been infected by the atmosphere of total war and likewise realized the significance of this great battle.

With great power comes great responsibility.

As a leading figure among the younger generation, Li Fan had no reason to back down.

They understood this very well.

So, they were now encouraging Li Fan to go, but encouragement aside, worry was inevitable.

As the conversation progressed.

parents tactfully left first, leaving time for Li Fan and Gu Ling.

"Don't worry, I will definitely return safely."

Li Fan looked at Gu Ling in his arms with a sincere gaze, his face carrying a hint of confidence.

To Li Fan's words, Gu Ling didn't say anything; she just nodded obediently and snuggled deeper into Li Fan's embrace.

Then, Gu Ling leaned close to Li Fan's ear and whispered softly.

"Mm, I'll wait for you to come back."

"If you fall in the Cosmic Abyss, then I will also go to the Cosmic Abyss to join the army!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Li Fan was momentarily stunned, and then a soft light couldn't help but flow from his eyes.

"Don't say such silly things. I will definitely return safely. When the war is over, I'll take you back to Blue Star to live for a while."

At this moment, he was even more certain that being able to marry a wife like Gu Ling was his good fortune.

And he, obviously, would not let Gu Ling join the army.

On this trip to the Cosmic Abyss, not only would he return safely, but he would return with invincible momentum!
