Song Yang immediately noticed the abnormality in his companion spirit beast and was instantly horrified.

He hadn't expected that the Heavenly Fate Mystical Bird, which had just been born, could suppress the two-headed black snake merely through its aura.

Watching the bird nestled in Xu Ke's thick hair, Song Yang's eyes gleamed with greed.

However, he knew better than to rely on the black two-headed snake; it seemed he would need to find another way.

With a cold snort, Song Yang calmed his spirit beast and turned away.

Having turned a crisis into nothing, Li Fan yawned and curled back into his "nest."

Meanwhile, Xu Ke scratched his head, looking puzzled and confused.

Time continued to flow, and the power of the bird that Li Fan had transformed into kept growing.

Soon, it reached its first point of transformation.

Its pitch-black feathers had grown all over its body, and perhaps due to absorbing Xu Ke's fortune since childhood, a strand of purple-gold was mixed in.

Because of the training in the Creation Furnace Cultivation technique, which allowed for control over its body, it didn't grow in size, remaining small enough to sleep in Xu Ke's hair.

Relying on its physical body alone, it could already go toe-to-toe with late-stage Foundation Establishment demon beasts.

It had long unlocked a psychic connection with Xu Ke, but Li Fan had always ignored him.

As a result, Xu Ke, naive as he was, never noticed.

On the contrary, Li Fan took the opportunity to constantly probe Xu Ke's mind, trying to extract the foundational technique of the Beast Taming Sect, the Beast Taming Art.

Unfortunately, the kid's thoughts were too erratic, like a wild horse, impossible to pin down.

Moreover, the Beast Taming Art seemed to have some sort of restriction preventing spirit beasts from prying, so Li Fan had never succeeded.

One day, as Li Fan lay in Xu Ke's hair sunbathing and dozing off, he suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. He stood up, his expression solemn.

"Judging by the time, today should be the day Mr. Bai appears."

To avoid drawing attention, Li Fan quickly shrank back and hid inside, secretly observing.

Half a day later, with a resounding dragon's roar echoing through the heavens and earth, Mr. Bai made his official entrance.

Just as in his past life, the entire Beast Taming Sect found no one who could stand against Mr. Bai.

Sky-Soaring Azure Dragons, Twin-Winged White Tigers, Two-Horned Qilins...

Many exotic beasts were slain, their organs taken by Mr. Bai as "gifts for the children."

Painful wails echoed throughout the Beast Taming Sect.

The disciples of the Beast Taming Sect stood in stunned silence, trembling with fear.

At that moment, Li Fan moved.

Suppressing his inner terror, he transformed into a streak of black light and shot toward the sky through the rain of blood from the demon beasts.

Indeed, Li Fan's target was Mr. Bai!

He had long harbored a suspicion in his heart.

Could this Mr. Bai of the Fallen Immortal Realm be the Heavenly Doctor from many years later in the real world?

There were just too many similarities between the two.

Both were experts in medicine, both had unfathomable strength, and both had methods that were hard to distinguish as either righteous or evil.

During the Retrieve the Longevity Fruit From NingYuan” incident, Li Fan had never managed to see Mr. Bai's true face.

And now, in this Change in the Beast Taming Sect, due to some unknown influence, Li Fan, looking up from below, still couldn't see his appearance clearly.

Thus, Li Fan made this attempt.

He wanted to get close to Mr. Bai and find out the truth!

To be honest, with his current cultivation level, barely at the Foundation Establishment stage, it was sheer madness to think he could achieve this without external help.

However, Li Fan had some confidence.

This confidence came from Xu Ke.

Xu Ke was a person favored by destiny, and as his companion spirit beast, Li Fan was also blessed with fortune.

More importantly, Xu Ke was one of the "children" Mr. Bai had referred to!

With this connection, Li Fan believed that if Mr. Bai's current demeanor was not a façade, then he wouldn't be in any real danger.

Besides, this was within the Fallen Immortal Realm.

Even if he perished, it would only be his consciousness that would suffer damage.

It was worth the risk.

As the Beast Taming Sect crumbled, the black light that Li Fan had transformed into was strikingly conspicuous.

Like a reverse-flying meteor, it was unstoppable and filled with determination.

"Who is that?"

"how dare it?"

These questions surged through the minds of all the Beast Taming Sect members.

Even the powerful exotic beasts, whose strength rivaled Soul Transformation cultivators, were defeated by the invaders. Where did this black bird, seemingly only at the Foundation Establishment level, find the courage?

Amidst the shock and confusion, Li Fan ascended rapidly, closing in on the figure in the sky.

"Hmm?"

Mr. Bai glanced over.

In an instant, Li Fan felt the space around him, and even his thoughts, freeze.

He was plunged into absolute stillness.

He didn't know how much time had passed, or if it was just a moment later.

The confinement around him suddenly vanished, and Li Fan regained the ability to move.

"So this is the power of a top-notch expert..."

Li Fan was horrified.

He finally understood why those who had slain Crimson Flame and successfully achieved Dao integration in the past looked foolish and as if they were waiting to die when facing Ink Death.

It wasn't that they didn't want to resist or flee.

They simply couldn't!

The only reason Li Fan was able to break free from Mr. Bai's grip was not due to his own power.

It was because of a faint shout from below—Xu Ke's voice.

"Little Black!"

Li Fan believed that everything within the Beast Taming Sect couldn't escape Mr. Bai's notice.

With Xu Ke's shout, Mr. Bai naturally noticed the connection between the bird Li Fan had possessed and Xu Ke.

So, Mr. Bai didn't harm Li Fan and even allowed the daring bird to approach him.

At such close range, Li Fan finally saw Mr. Bai's appearance clearly.

Even with the experience of a hundred lifetimes, Li Fan couldn't help but be stunned.

He finally understood why, back in Ningyuan City, people had said that Mr. Bai was extraordinarily good-looking.

He exuded a slightly frail aura, but his face seemed flawless, breathtakingly beautiful.

It was as if all the love of the heavens and earth had been bestowed upon him. Li Fan's mind was filled with thoughts like, "How could someone be this good-looking?" and "It's a pity he's not a woman."

Mr. Bai looked at the bird, standing dumbfounded in the air, and smiled slightly.

At that moment, Li Fan felt as if the sky, which had been shrouded in dark clouds, suddenly cleared up.

Mr. Bai glanced at Li Fan and shook his head slightly, "You silly child, why are you practicing recklessly?"

With a gentle wave of his finger, Li Fan felt a torrent of information flood into his mind.

This is...

Li Fan was stunned.

Then, his heart began to race uncontrollably.

It was all the secrets of life and the various paths to evolution and transcendence...

It was the perfected version of his cultivation technique, the Creation Furnace Technique!
