Chapter 250: Feipeng's Calamity
"We have an ancient saying in the Dali Realm."
"When the hooves of a marching general's horse lightly step, a mountain fire erupts thousands of miles away."
"Could it be that one of my unintentional actions caused the future to change drastically?"
Ye Feipeng furrowed his brow, carefully recalling every detail of his life since rebirth, attempting to find the root of the changes.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't come up with even a vaguely reasonable explanation.
After half a day, he finally gave up in frustration.
"Regardless, the future in my memory has become inaccurate."
"I can only treat it as a reference and cannot trust it."
"So, what I should be most concerned about is whether the Crimson Flame will still appear. Will the joint efforts of the Soul Transformation cultivators to kill Crimson Flame truly unfold as scheduled?"
The chubby cultivator exerted all his efforts to make a rough deduction.
After a while, he reached a conclusion.
"The Crimson Flame burning the sea should still happen."
"But in my past life, it was likely that Zhang Haobo informed the Ten Thousand Immortals Island in advance about this matter."
"Shepherding wind to Ten Thousand Immortals Island, facing off against Soul Transformation cultivators..."
Ye Feipeng shuddered, his face showing a troubled expression.
"I can't do it!"
"Let me think. At that time, there were only two native cultivators from Ten Thousand Immortals Island who took action, and the rest were temporary forces."
"If it's only two people caught off guard facing the Crimson Flame..."
The chubby cultivator's face turned pale.
"It's simply impossible for them to match the Crimson Flame."
"Doesn't that mean all my calculations are in vain?"
With an ever-changing expression on his face, after a long time, Ye Feipeng's gaze showed a hint of fierceness.
"No, I must find a way to publicize the imminent appearance of the Crimson Flame."
"Even if I make this matter widely known..."
Suddenly, a thought struck him, and Ye Feipeng quickly shook his head.
"No, no."
"It's too dangerous. If people deduce that I'm the one behind this, my result will be worse than death."
After much internal struggle, Ye Feipeng, still feeling helpless, left the deserted island, aimlessly wandering while contemplating a solution.
In a trance, he found himself in a distant sea area.
A peculiar and magnificent scene awakened him from his contemplation.
The sun in the sky had disappeared, replaced by a giant eye suspended in the middle of the sky.
The giant eye stared at the ocean below.
Everything within its line of sight—sea, islands, living beings—was covered in a silver glow.
Under the influence of the silver radiance, all things seemed to be compressed into a flat and illusory picture, following the silver light, flying into the giant eye in the sky.
"This is..."
Sweating profusely, Ye Feipeng suddenly woke up.
"Extracting the essence of heaven and earth! A Nascent Soul cultivator is ascending to the Soul Transformation stage!"
Although this was Ye Feipeng's first time witnessing it in person, the scene in front of him was almost identical to the description in the books: "Mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, everything in the world return to the Dharma Domain."
Ye Feipeng held his breath, silently retreating.
Cultivators undergoing breakthroughs were extremely sensitive.
If the other party mistakenly thought he had ill intentions and casually killed him, it would truly be an unjust death.
Secretly praying that the other party wouldn't discover him, Ye Feipeng used his fastest speed to try to get away from this dangerous area.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
The giant eye in the sky moved slightly.
Its gaze immediately locked onto Ye Feipeng.
Ye Feipeng, who was riding the wind and waves, was instantly fixed in place, unable to move.
A silver glow enveloped him.
The next moment, just as he was about to be compressed and absorbed into the Dharma Domain, a deep blue light emerged from his body, dispelling the silver radiance.
"Huh?"
A figure appeared in front of Ye Feipeng in an instant.
"Zhang Zhiliang?!" The moment Ye Feipeng saw this person, his mind trembled.
Because he knew him; it was the Formation Master who, several years later, would join several Soul Transformation cultivators in besieging Crimson Flame.
"He shouldn't be at the Soul Transformation stage. How could he be about to break through to Soul Transformation?"
Zhang Zhiliang slowly extended his hand, capturing a strand of blue light.
Silver radiance flashed, and the blue light was subsequently decomposed inch by inch.
"An Earthly Treasure?"
A hint of curiosity flashed in Zhang Zhiliang's eyes as he looked at this small Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"You seem to know me?"
Without waiting for Ye Feipeng to respond, Zhang Zhiliang's eyes were devoid of the slightest emotion as he pointed a finger toward Ye Feipeng's brow.
In Ye Feipeng's pupils, scenes suddenly appeared.
A blazing sun rose in the sky, illuminating the Heavenly Spirit that had just manifested.
Five Soul Transformation cultivators, as well as Zhang Zhiliang, joined forces to fight Crimson Flame.
The Cong Yun Sea Twenty-Eight Swords, integrating oneself with the Dao as a Golden Core...
...
The giant eye in the sky instantly widened in fury.
Although Zhang Zhiliang's face showed no expression changes, the slight trembling of his body illustrated the extreme unrest in his heart.
"What is this?"
He stared fixedly at the convulsing Ye Feipeng, and pointed again, attempting to extract more information from his mind.
At this critical moment, an endless blue light surged from Ye Feipeng's chest, instantly enveloping him.
Zhang Zhiliang's expression changed; he was about to mobilize the power of his Dharma Domain to suppress the blue light.
Suddenly, the Cong Yun Sea below seemed to violently surge and shake.
Waves roared, and a flaw in his control of his Dharma Domain appeared.
Ye Feipeng was carried away by the blue light, disappearing in an instant and escaping to an unknown destination.
Only Zhang Zhiliang remained standing there dumbfounded.
After a long time, he seemed to wake up from a dream.
"A reborn person?"
"The Heavenly Spirit?"
The Heaven's Eye Dharma Domain disappeared from the sky, and the sun reappeared in the sky.
The world returned to normal.
However, it seemed as if there was a lingering shadow on Zhang Zhiliang's body that couldn't be dispelled.
"Dao Integration..."
"Dao Integration..."
He repeatedly murmured, his eyes shining with an inexplicable brilliance.
...
In the Tianxuan Mirror.
Li Fan, who had been awakened from cultivation and witnessed everything, stroked his chin.
He hadn't expected Ye Feipeng, who was wandering around randomly, to encounter Zhang Zhiliang in the midst of a breakthrough.
The chubby guy was too weak-minded and was detected by Zhang Zhiliang.
Moreover, the latter used a method similar to soul searching to unearth secrets from his mind.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, the Canghai Pearl erupted, saving his life.
Ye Feipeng seemed to have suffered a tremendous mental shock and fell into a deep sleep.
What puzzled Li Fan was that despite this unexpected turn of events, Ye Feipeng's fortune had not suffered any damage.
Instead, there was a more mysterious change.
Even the current Li Fan couldn't fathom it.
"Interesting."
"It seems that the Canghai Pearl is determined to protect Ye Feipeng."
"I wonder if there are other hidden secrets on him that I haven't noticed."
"And how will Zhang Zhiliang, who learned about the impending arrival of Crimson Flame in advance and ascended to Soul Transformation, react?"
"Where will the events of the Crimson Flame of this life lead..."
"It's truly something to look forward to."
Li Fan let out a low chuckle.
