Chapter 142 - 142: 136: Resolutely Condensing the False Pill

Translator: 549690339

Howling winds whipped up monstrous waves.

The accumulated black clouds in the sky were growing denser, the layers of which resembled towering mountains. Streaks of lightning flared intermittently, highlighting the destructive power they possessed.

This vast storm, however, was like a wild horse reined in by Zhang Haobo. It was forced to move in a predetermined direction under his mastery. “Peeping the Law of Heaven and Earth to refine the Golden Pill…”

Zhang Haobo found himself in the midst of the storm, musing over his thoughts.

“With my current strength, to undertake such a merging task is somewhat forced.’

“But without the Golden Core Technique, I would be stuck in the Perfect Stage

Foundation Establishment with no progress.”

“My only option now is…”

“The fake pill.”

A glimmer of determination flashed in Zhang Haobo’s eyes.

The fake pill technique refers to forcefully breaking through and creating an illusory Golden Core in the Dantian with the Power of Principle after reaching the Perfect Stage Foundation Establishment by infusing oneself with the power of Heaven and Earth.

This brings your level temporarily up to the Golden Core Realm.

The fake pill technique is unsustainable, lasting for about only thirty days at most.

The side effects are extremely terrifying, even if one could successfully condense a real Golden Core later on, it could leave behind irreversible hidden injuries and obstruct the path to Dao.

If there are no other rare opportunities afterward, one would have to stop at the Golden Core Stage for the rest of their life.

But Zhang Haobo had no other choice!

Walking against Heaven’s will is no easy task.

Zhang Haobo looked up nonchalantly and let out a sarcastic chuckle inside.

Ever since his reincarnation, he occasionally had a feeling of being spied upon.

It made him feel uneasy, like a thorn stuck on his back.

At first, he thought it was a sort of illusion, but this feeling became clearer after he stepped into the Foundation Establishment Phase. Zhang Haobo understood that his various anomalies since his rebirth must have drawn the attention of the figure above in the Heavens.

The Heaven’s Killing Intent, the fate of countless beings within the Misthaven Ocean, should’ve been determined long ago.

There are bound to be heavy obstacles between him and reversing his fate.

This, Zhang Haobo, was fully prepared for it psychologically long ago.

It is foreseeable that as his power continually grows, the obstructive forces will become increasingly vigorous.

However, he had his aid too.

Involuntarily, Zhang Haobo reached for his chest. There lay a faintly visible translucent little blue bead.

He was not any Water Spirit Body.

On this Misthaven Ocean, he could use spiritual energy without any disregard, and not worry about the exhaustion.

It was all due to the existence of this strange treasure.

He had no idea what it was called or how it came about.

It wasn’t until the day when he had broken through to the Energy Refining Stage when he discovered this Blue Water Bead lying in his chest.

A series of tests later, he gradually learned the use of this bead.

It helped him recover his in-body spiritual energy at an exceedingly horrifying speed.

It also made it easier for him to comprehend the Power of Principle between Heaven and Earth, especially those related to water and wind.

From time to time, images revealing a few secrets about the Misthaven Ocean would appear in his Spirit Consciousness.

Earlier, that was how he was able to detect the strange space where Green Wind was fighting against the sword hilt, enter into it without being noticedall due to the secret aid of this Blue Water Bead.

Otherwise, let alone his cultivation level at the Final Stage of Energy Refining at that time, even if he was at the Perfect Stage Foundation Establishment now, it would have been impossible for him to do so.

This mysterious treasure, was likely the benefits he got as a reincarnator. It was also what he relied upon to change his fate against Heaven’s will in this lifetime!

Zhang Haobo’s thoughts were tumultuous, but he regained calmness gradually.

He extended his left hand, grabbed hold of a wisp of wind that came from afar, sensing the impending birth of a super storm.

He continuously adjusted the speed and direction of the miniature storm in front of him.

In his spirit consciousness, he simulated the possible outcomes after the two storms collided.

“The day when I encounter Green Wind will be the day when I condense my fake pill.”

A sharp glint flashed across Zhang Haobo’s eyes, and thereafter, his figure faded slowly within the storm under the cover of wind and rain.

Although Li Fan was able to monitor Zhang Haobo’s every move, he couldn’t comprehend what was going on inside his heart.

Thus naturally, he had no idea what was happening to Zhang Haobo.

Moreover, he didn’t have the time to care about it now.

Ever since he started learning Array Technique from Zhang Zhiliang, he had not had a moment of free leisure time.

Zhang Zhiliang, although only teaching for a while, would leave for periods at a time to attend to other matters.

However, before leaving, he would assign relevant Array Technique exercises for Li Fan to study.

Usually, before Li Fan could even complete these exercises, Zhang Zhiliang would return.

After correcting and explaining the exercises, Zhang Zhiliang continued his teaching.

So it went on and on, without leaving any time for rest.

When Zhang Zhiliang sensed that Li Fan’s fatigue had reached a certain degree, he would light a kind of silver incense.

The fragrance was faint, and as Li Fan inhaled it, the weariness of his spirit was instantly swept away.

Prompted by Zhang Zhiliang’s gaze, he continued to immerse himself in his studies.

This process went on endlessly.

This even led to Li Fan having the illusion that time was passing very slowly.

Every second spent studying Array Technique felt like torture.

He wished he could end it sooner.

If it wasn’t for his strong willpower and the fact that he had already endured three trials at Qin Tang’s place, his endurance far exceeding normal people, he might not have persisted.

After an unknown period, Zhang Zhiliang brought back another student.

The progress of their studies was different, so there were no joint classes.

In this dark starry sky, a completely identical illusion was separated to teach that student.

Only then did Li Fan realize that the figure who had been teaching him all this while may not be real.

The so-called leaving for other matters was perhaps just an excuse.

It was probably a test to see how diligent he was when unobserved.

Li Fan shook his head, not paying attention to the other student.

After just setting a two-year reminder, he stopped caring about anything else.

With undivided concentration, he submerged himself in the world of learning Array Technique.

Thus, time flowed like water.

One day, while Li Fan was deep in thought, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

It felt like his brain was fiercely struck by a huge object. He was dizzy with stars in his eyes.

Blood flowed from his nose and eyes, which gave off a terrifying sight.

Zhang Zhiliang’s figure suddenly appeared.

He glanced at Li Fan with a slightly puzzled look but did not ask anything.

He just lit that silver incense again.

This time, the fragrance was thicker than ever.

The injury to his Spirit Consciousness that had just been inflicted began to heal quickly after inhaling this fragrance.

In just half a day, Li Fan felt his injury completely healed and recovered as before.

Only then did Li Fan have the opportunity to examine the final image transmitted into his Spirit Consciousness.

“Zhang Haobo, has he broken through to the Golden Core Realm?”

He turned his head lightly, gazing into the distance, an indescribable expression on his face..
