    “Junior Brother? Junior Brother?”


    Everything around him felt as if it was separated by ayer of viscous transparent substance.<div>


    The sound reaching his ears seemed distorted and strange.


    That person seemed to be waving his hand.


    As the scene entered Li Fan’s view, it was as if a fierce beast wasunching an attack.


    He was suddenly startled.


    Li Fan subconsciously wanted to counterattack.


    However, he suddenly realized that he couldn’t use any divine techniques such as the Mist de or the Sky Flipping Palm.


    Cold sweat oozed out uncontrobly.


    Then, words like “Fallen Immortal World”, “Ritual”, “First exploration” suddenly surfaced in his spirit consciousness.


    Like suddenly emerging from underwater, the surroundings gradually became clear and bright.


    The light and sound returned to normal.


    “Junior Brother? What are you thinking? Why have you been in a daze for so long?”<div>


    A young cultivator wearing a purple and white Taoist robe with a purple lightning mark between his brows was looking this way.


    “Is it your first time leaving the mountain in eighteen years, and you’re thinking about all the fun ces your senior brother told you about?”


    “Don’t worry. Once we finish our tasks, I will take you to experience ces such as the Red Dust Inn and the Drunken Immortal Tower for yourself!” The young cultivator made faces, not acting like an elder brother at all.


    Li Fan slowly came back to his senses.


    “Violet Firmament Sect, Li Chen.”


    “Follow my senior brother Zhang Qianmo to Ningyuan City to collect the Longevity Fruit.”


    In a sh, several pieces of information appeared in Li Fan’s spirit consciousness.


    “Senior Brother is joking. We should focus on our task!” Li Fan replied lightly, in line with Li Chen’s usual personality.


    “Ah, how boring!” Zhang Qianmo rolled his eyes and sighed.


    He thenzilyy down and stopped bothering Li Fan.


    Li Fan took this opportunity to observe his surroundings.<div>


    He seemed to be on a cloud of purple.


    This purple cloud appeared to be a magic tool, rapidly flying high in the sky.


    It seemed to be enveloped by a protection matrix that blocked the Gang Winds.


    Sitting on the purple cloud was tranquil andfortable. “So this is the Fallen Immortal Realm…”


    Li Fan sensed carefully, a look of surprise in his eyes.


    “A world formed by the lingering consciousness before its fall? So real….”


    Li Fan stroked the purple cloud beneath him, feeling the omnipresent spiritual energy in the air.


    “If it weren’t for my previous memories, I would almost think I had traveled through time again.”


    It took a while for Li Fan to suppress his astonishment. “It’s my first entry, and I’m lucky to have an original identity.” Li Fan recalled the precautions given by Chen Ying.


    After entering the Fallen Immortal Realm, one might form a Divine Consciousness Incarnation to independently explore.


    Alternatively, one might directly upy the body of the original beings in the Fallen Immortal Realm and inherit their identities.


    There were pros and cons to both situations.


    A Divine Consciousness Incarnation can utilize one’s original strength and divine techniques, but without an identity, they arepletely outsiders.


    With no knowledge of the surroundings, exploring and acquiring opportunities would be significantly harder.


    Furthermore, the rate of ‘erosion’ on a Divine Consciousness Incarnation is much faster.


    Having an original identity provides a ‘shell’ for protection, significantly slowing the rate of ‘erosion’.


    This allows for a longer stay in the Fallen Immortal Realm.


    In addition, it bes natural to participate in specific events.


    The downside is that the strength disyed is only that of the upied beings.


    Moreover, one must act cautiously so as not to alert those familiar with the being.


    Otherwise, it would be regarded as “possessed”, leading to relentless persecution.


    Li Fan was going through the memories in Li Chen’s spirit consciousness, aiming to adapt to this identity as quickly as possible.


    Simultaneously, he perceived the drain on his Divine Consciousness.


    Indeed, even with the protection of a physical body, Li Fan could distinctly feel his Divine Consciousness constantly being eroded.


    The intensity remained the same, but the total amount was gradually decreasing.


    “When the Divine Consciousness is entirely eroded, I will be forced to retreat from the Fallen Immortal Realm.”


    “At this rate, I will only be able to maintain this form for half a month?” Li Fan couldn’t help but frown.


    “No wonder Chen Ying said that during the Golden Core Stage, one can barely move here. And this is me with my original identity.”


    “If the Divine Consciousness Incarnation were directly introduced, it seems I would only be able to stay in the Fallen Immortal Realm for about seven or eight days.”


    “No matter, I didn’t expect any substantial gains from this first exploration. Consider it a learning experience.”


    Thinking this, Li Fan started to inspect the situation of Li Chen from Violet Firmament Sect.


    “This ce is unknown. The Violet Firmament Sect is thergest Immortal Gate in the surrounding ten thousand miles.”


    “Li Chen and Zhang Qianmo are both inner disciples of the Violet Firmament Sect. They studied under the True Lord of Nascent Soul, Ling Yunzi.’


    “Practicing the Violet Firmament Thunder Secret Technique. Level of cultivation is at the Final Stage Foundation Establishment.”


    When Li Fan tried to ess memories rted to the Violet Firmament Thunder Secret Technique from his consciousness, he found nothing.


    Even though he was at the stage of Final Stage Foundation Establishment, his body did not bear any trace of Natural Treasures.


    The Great Cmity had yet to arrive, and immortalw was still practicable.


    The Immortal-Ordinary Miasma did not appear yet.


    “So I am currently at this point in time…” ording to Chen Ying, the time nodes in different areas of the Fallen Immortal Realm could vary.


    The time span is immensely long.


    At this point in time where Li Fan was, the Immortal Cultivation World was rtively peaceful.


    It seemed like Li Fan had a rather smooth start this time.


    After half a day of contemtion and rest on the Zi Yun, Li Fan and Zhang Qianmo were fast approaching their destination: Ningyuan City.


    Zhang Qianmo yawned and stood up.


    “Junior Brother, I have a matter to discuss with you.” Zhang Qianmo looked at Li Fan with a yful smile, “I haven’t seen my sweetheart Chi Xia for several years, and I’m itching to be reunited with her— I simply can’t wait any longer!”


    He winked at Li Fan.


    “This trivial matter of collecting the Longevity Fruit, I’ll hand it over to you.”


    He patted Li Fan’s shoulder and dashed away as a streak of violet light without waiting for Li Fan’s response.


    “Splitting up is not a bad idea. That way, there’s less chance of making mistakes.”


    Li Fan, more than willing, controlled the Violet Sky Flying Cloud to slowly descend.


    “Which brother hase this time?” Before Li Fannded, he saw another streak of violet light slowly approaching.


    The energy fluctuation of the Techniques from this figure was extremely simr to the Violet Firmament Thunder Secret Technique.


    But it was undoubtedly weaker.


    The figure stopped, and Li Fan turned his gaze towards it. It was a middle-aged man in a grey Taoist robe, seemingly at the Final Stage of Energy Refining.


    He seemed to know Li Fan. Upon recognizing him, he bowed, “So it’s Brother Li himself. I apologize for not having been able to wee you further out!” At this moment, information about this man shed in Li Fan’s mind.


    “Song Hesong, outer disciple of the Violet Firmament Sect, the manager of Ningyuan City.”


    “Enough of the pleasantries, let’s get to business. Take me to retrieve the Longevity Fruit,” Li Fan said, his expression cold and arrogant, in ordance with the style of Li Chen’s memory.


    Song Hesong didn’t mind at all. After all, there was a vast difference in status between an outer disciple and an inner disciple.


    Besides, Li Fan was at the stage of Final Stage Foundation Establishment.


    That Song Hesong could call him “Brother” was all due to his position as the manager of Ningyuan City.


    Without further ado, he led Li Fan into Ningyuan City.


    There seemed to be an invisible barrier over Ningyuan City. After Li Fan entered, he concentrated his gaze and stared into the sky..
