Lin Fan was panting, obviously struggling, but seeing the whirlpool gradually stabilize, he couldn't help grinning, and his sense of accomplishment was overwhelming.

And a slowly rotating black hole opened in the palm of the hand, which looked very weird, but it did not cause any damage to the palm.

"Senior, it's okay here."

Lin Fan said softly to the black hole.

White light flashed on the surface of the black hole, and a figure appeared in front of him.

Dressed in a white robe, the illusory old man was suspended in front of Lin Fan without touching the ground.

And this old man is the broken soul in the stone tablet.

And that's exactly what the old man did about the first part of the deal—to bring him out.

In the stele, the white-robed old man put forward a condition that Lin Fan couldn't refuse-to help Lin Fan break through.

This condition undoubtedly deeply touched Lin Fan, because he knew that the old man did not lie to him, and there was no need to lie to him, if Lin Fan still cultivated in the current way, I am afraid that he would not be able to become a strong man in his life, let alone face any catastrophe.

And the old man's request and the price that Lin Fan needed to pay also made Lin Fan think about it for a long time......

The old man would first help Lin Fan open up the Divine Sea, and then use the Divine Sea to recover.

Of course, this is a long process, and in the old man's original words, "Perhaps, your strength must stand at the top of this continent in order for me to fully recover."

Well, Lin Fan doesn't need to be in a hurry at all, because this will definitely be a long process, not only long, but also long......

However, this deal made anyone see that Lin Fan had taken advantage of it, but this was not the case.

First, as the old man said, opening up the Divine Sea requires the so-called perfect divine soul of the ancient method, but perhaps only Lin Fan has such ancient qualifications in the world......

And this piece of heaven and earth gave birth to one Lin Fan, which is already an outlier, and it is impossible to produce a second one.

But Lin Fan knew that the truth of the matter was...... None of them were born with Ben, Lin Fan came through time, and his soul had nothing to do with this world at all.

So Lin Fan is his only hope.

Second, in order to be able to continue cultivating, Lin Fan was dying...... Because forcibly opening up the sea of knowledge will hurt the source of life.

But the purpose was clear, and the two sides were honest with each other, and the transaction began......

The turning point in the fate of the two people began here......

......

Inside the Black Basilica.

The old man took out a small diamond-shaped crystal from the stone tablet, and then buried it in the palm of Lin Fan's right hand, using a secret method to fuse it with the palm.

I won't mention how painful this process is, anyway, Lin Fan didn't dare to try it a second time, but the pain was still worth it.

When the old man used his soul power to stimulate the crystal, Lin Fan was dumbfounded and found ...... Inside this crystal turned out to be a vast space, and it was the void in the stone tablet......

And this diamond-shaped crystal is the carrier of that space, which has been buried in the stone tablet to absorb the power of the soul stone to warm the elderly.

Then the old man threw himself into the void of the diamond-shaped crystal and was brought out by Lin Fan.

Hence the current scene.

......

At this moment, the white-robed old man floated on the bluestone, looked around, and then turned his head to look at Lin Fan.

"You...... Really thought about it?"

After being quiet for a while, Lin Fan nodded solemnly, he already had an answer to this question.

The old man's expression froze, and then he said solemnly.

"You must know that as a martial artist, with your current realm, even if you can't break through, you can enjoy a hundred years of life.

But if you forcibly open up the Divine Sea, with your current foundation, you will inevitably damage the lifesource ......."

"Seventy years!"

Lin Fan suddenly interrupted the old man and continued.

"With my realm, forcibly opening up the Divine Sea will lose nearly seventy percent of the source of life, that is...... There are still thirty years or so left.

And I'm 16 years old, which means ...... After opening up the sea of knowledge, I only have more than ten years to live......

Of course, breaking through the realm will increase a certain lifespan, but the premise is to break through the great realm."

Lin Fan repeated the old man's words as they were.

"Yes...... So what, if it weren't for the protection of the Burial Sword Pavilion and the master, I would have been buried in the catastrophe six years ago, and the next catastrophe is near, and the younger generation must fight again, for myself, but also for my relatives.

Maybe the life span is a little shorter, maybe this is the fate of the cause, but this is my choice, and the younger generation will not regret it".

Lin Fan said in a flat tone, as if he was not discussing his lifespan, but just describing a trivial matter.

Nodding, the old man's face showed a touch of regret, "Actually, this is not a good way, if you go with the flow, you can completely cultivate to the return realm."

At that time, with your qualifications, you can completely open up the Divine Sea on your own, and there will be no hidden danger that will hurt the source of life, but it's a pity......

We all run out of time......".

The old man's expression was a little gloomy, but Lin Fan was even more puzzled, "Dare to ask the seniors...... There is no world ......".

"Sixteen years ago, the heavens and the earth were anomenous, and that influence actually penetrated the formation of the Burial Sword Mountain, and the only information I could feel was...... The catastrophe is coming, and the world is bound to be in chaos at that time, but your strength is too weak, if you want to face the crisis at that time, you can only forcibly open up a road to the Shenhai.

Maybe it's really your fate."

The old man said lightly, but it was difficult to hide his loneliness.

Hearing this, Lin Fan's eyes flashed, "The bloody night punishment recorded in the classics sixteen years ago foreshadowed a catastrophe that was coming, and six years ago the heavenly storm announced the beginning of the catastrophe, and the unpredictable crisis is the real danger, it seems that it can only be dealt with according to what the old man said, finding out the beginning and end of the catastrophe."

Sighing, Lin Fan Lin Fan said calmly.

"I've never believed in any fate, if there is...... That must also be in my own hands, and if this heaven and earth are not benevolent, then I will control the fate of heaven and earth together.

The catastrophe is coming, no one can transcend the world, and the younger generation will use the source of seventy years of life to fight for a ......."

After speaking, Lin Fan looked at the illusory old man in front of him with a calm smile on his face.

He has been thinking about this question for a long time, but he can give up martial arts and be subordinate...... Lin Fan couldn't do it.

Enjoying the remnants of life with Ying'er and the master, and then watching them and his own lives in the catastrophe, that is not something he can tolerate, then the answer is obvious.

also smiled faintly, the old man nodded with deep meaning, and had a deeper understanding of Lin Fan's character.

"Don't hesitate, let's get started"

Lin Fan smiled slightly and said to the old man, although the old man reminded himself repeatedly, but this is also the old man's long-cherished wish for thousands of years - to restore his soul.

Looking at the teenage boy in front of him seriously, the old man felt very deeply in his heart, if he was an ordinary martial artist, he would lose these lifespans...... I'm afraid they will all retreat, and even if their minds are resolute, they will inevitably hesitate.

But this little young man in Tsing Yi didn't seem to be afraid at all, and his dark eyes were full of firmness and confidence.

"You breathe and recover first, opening up the Shenhai is not trivial, even with my help, there is no 100% certainty, the key depends on your own perseverance.

There are no shortcuts to cultivation, famous teachers, inheritance, secret realms, and chances, these are all the help of cultivation, but in the final analysis, people are still cultivating, talent is important, but perseverance, courage, and will are even more indispensable."

The old man said meaningfully.

"Taught, senior", Lin Fan nodded, everyone understands the truth, but Lin Fan can understand the concern between the words.

"Don't call me the seniors, the old man should be surnamed Ling, but I can't remember the name, you can call me Ling Lao in the future", the old man said with a smile.

"Well, let's get started, Elder Ling, I'm ready."

Ling Lao nodded and walked in front of Lin Fan, his expression suddenly turned grim, the phantom light on the surface of his illusory body surged, and a blurred colored light wheel appeared behind him and slowly rotated.

The old man slowly stretched out his right hand and put it on top of Lin Fan's head, and then a pure and strange power gushed out, pouring into Lin Fan's mind.

"Boom ......"

The sound was familiar again, but more intense than ever.

"Hmmm......".

Lin Fan snorted, his headache splitting, as if countless sharp blades were stirring in his mind at the same time, and his consciousness blurred in an instant, as if he was going to pass out in the next moment.

"Hold on, this is just the beginning!", Ling Lao shouted violently, waking Lin Fan up.

Lin Fan's spirit was shocked, his whole body tightened and his teeth clenched, forcibly suppressed the pain of his spirit, cheered up, and the voice of the old man sounded in his head.

"You have cultivated your soul power before, and you have already achieved all the small successes, but you have been cultivating in a modern way, converging your soul power in your body, but your soul is too majestic, so it is not in harmony with the current cultivation method, and your body can't withstand your overly dense soul power, so the gathered soul power will always collapse.

Now, according to the ancient method, based on my divine soul, I will open up a space in your body, and then you will put your consciousness into the space, and then use your consciousness to attract soul power to settle in it to maintain the stability of the space, then the Divine Sea can be completed."

Ling Lao explained while instilling soul power on the top of Lin Fan's head.

"Boom...... Boom ......".

A vast and majestic force rushed left and right in his mind, shaking Lin Fan's headache, but his mind was originally a concept, it could be in his skull, or it could be in his heart, but no one could tell what it was and where.

When I closed my eyes, I only felt that it was pitch black, and I couldn't do anything, so I could only grit my teeth and endure the pain, and I just hoped that the old man would finish it as soon as possible......

Fortunately, after a while, the consciousness that was originally pitch black seemed to have cracks.

Lin Fan closed his eyes tightly, his teeth clenched "cluck, cluck" sounded, trembling all over, sweat dripping onto the bluestone like raindrops.

"Click......".

A crisp sound appeared in Lin Fan's mind, as if something had shattered, and then a faint white light cluster slowly emerged, and an inexplicable power in his body was also withdrawn, presumably the "price".

The source of life is very peculiar, it can't be touched, can't be seen, and it can't be perceived, but it does exist, if the martial artist is not unexpected, the life span will be very long, but some pills and exercises that burn life force will reduce the source of life and shorten the lifespan.

For example, Lin Fan now, he really feels its passing.

"It's now!" Ling Lao snorted.

Lin Fan didn't dare to slack off, gritted his teeth, and concentrated his consciousness towards the inside of the light group......

There were bursts of dazzling white light in front of him, and after the white light, it seemed that he had come to a void.

Lin Fan stood with his feet in the void.

After a little understanding, I instantly understood that this was the body of my own consciousness, and this was the space that Lin Lao said.

Don't dare to have the slightest delay, forcibly tearing out this space has already hurt his life, if there is any accident, Lin Fan has no other way to go......

Gradually, they begin to perceive their soul power with their consciousness and guide it.

A trace of milky white light wrapped around his body, gradually forming a spherical light mask, enveloping himself in the middle, and as the ghost light increased, the light mask slowly expanded and expanded in all directions.

The inside of the mask is no longer a white void, but a new heaven and earth—a round sky.

The blue sky was spotless, and there was no land under the sky, but a faint mist, and the sky and fog slowly grew larger as the light mask expanded.

Lin Fan of the consciousness body trembled slightly, and as the expansion load of the light mask became larger and larger, a sense of emptiness struck, and the consciousness seemed to be about to collapse at any time, Lin Fan relied on perseverance to condense his consciousness and forcibly support it......

I don't know how long it took.

"Buzz ......".

When the last trace of soul power was hollowed out, the light mask also expanded to the limit and stabilized.

......

On the big bluestone

Lin Fan sat cross-legged, his face was pale and sluggish, his whole body was like being washed with water, his breath was weak, and his whole body trembled.

Suddenly opened his eyes violently and grinned.

"Cheng ...... Succeeded......"

Then he rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.

"Bang Dang~"

fainted......
