These four are all Dao Fusion cultivators, their gazes locked onto Law Transcending Celestial Li Fan, and their own auras surged.
Li Fan, however, showed no signs of nervousness. He arched his hands towards the four elders, "Seniors, please be patient while I confirm everything."
"However, I need to separate a strand of divine sense to go there!"
As he spoke, Li Fan pointed with his index finger towards the sleeping Yansu Law little loli lying on the long table.
The four Dao Fusion cultivators exchanged glances, all showing a difficult expression.
Li Fan quietly waited for their decision.
"Kid, is there no other way?"
Li Fan replied indifferently, "The so-called treating the ailment with a targeted remedy. If the cause of the illness is misdiagnosed, forcibly rescuing might cause even greater damage."
"It's just a tiny strand of divine sense, only for observation and communication. It's unlikely to harm even an ordinary person..."
"If you are still uneasy, then forget it."
The four Dao Fusion cultivators discussed again for a while.
In the end, they decided to let Li Fan give it a try.
After Li Fan separated a strand of divine sense, he immediately felt four different divine senses attaching to it like chains, forming a whole. Everything they saw and heard could be shared, and they could communicate with each other.
"Let's go."
Four voices simultaneously sounded in Li Fan's mind.
Knowing that this was a necessary protective measure, Li Fan had no objections.
In the next moment, the five divine senses simultaneously flew into the sea of consciousness of Yansu's Law little loli.
In this world full of golden light, countless martial arts floated like books, forming an ocean that was too vast and boundless.
Entering it, divine sense almost lost its direction.
Li Fan could clearly see the names of the martial arts floating by, and if possible, he could browse the contents of the martial arts freely.
If not for the four powerful divine senses watching closely on the side.
Suppressing the desire to explore countless martial arts, divine sense evolved into a figure and shouted loudly in all directions, "Little one, stop pretending to sleep! Come out quickly!"
Although the voice was not loud, in this world full of martial arts, it was entirely different.
Firmly spreading in all directions.
At this moment, the four divine senses of the Dao Fusion cultivators also appeared.
"What did you say? Yansu Law is pretending to sleep?"
"How is that possible?"
They never thought of this result. They stared at Li Fan with faces full of incredulity.
Li Fan ignored them and continued to shout around, "Little one, do you think pretending to sleep can reduce your workload? What belongs to you will always be yours! You can't escape!"
"When you wake up, you will continue to deduce. You might even have to make up for the time you owe during this period..."
Li Fan, like a heartless boss urging his subordinates to work, incessantly babbled.
Even the four Dao Fusion cultivators couldn't help but furrow their brows slightly.
In this manner, who knew how much time passed.
"Stop making noise!"
A petite figure suddenly appeared above Li Fan's head.
Holding a wooden stick several times larger than herself, she was about to strike Li Fan on the head.
"Zhou..."
"You woke up!"
Seeing this, the four Dao Fusion cultivators were overjoyed.
Although Li Fan's actual combat power was weak, he could still easily evade such an obvious attack.
With a flash of his figure, he dodged the attack from Yansu's Law little loli.
Swinging at nothing, the little loli propped the wooden stick on her shoulder and came to Li Fan with an angry face, "What little one? Nanny here is thousands of years old! Many times older than you!"
Li Fan's face sank, rebuking, "If that's the case, why do you, who looks like a child, insist on pretending to sleep?"
"I don't know how many people are worried about you!"
The Yansu Law little loli shivered, and her momentum instantly weakened.
However, she snorted and forcibly retorted, "Mind your own business! You're really annoying! If it weren't for you, they wouldn't have figured it out at all!"
While speaking, she sneakily touched the giant wooden stick on her shoulder.
Evaluating Li Fan, her eyes flashed with an unfriendly light.
Li Fan turned to look at the four Dao Fusion cultivators and arched his hand.
Everything was understood without words.
"Oh, my little ancestor, why are you throwing a tantrum again..."
The white-haired elder approached the Yansu Law little loli with a helpless expression.
"Do you know that in these few days, the Protectorate Hall has almost been paralyzed? Many urgent matters have been forcibly delayed..."
"None of my business!" The wooden stick disappeared from her shoulder, and the little loli covered her ears, appearing as if she wasn't listening.
"I've been working continuously for two thousand three hundred and twenty-seven days! It's already very hard! Originally, I was promised a vacation, and then suddenly it was gone!" she grumbled.
"I don't care! I want a vacation!"
Unexpectedly, it was because of this reason that Yansu Law was forcefully pretending to sleep.
The four Protectorate Hall Dao Fusion cultivators could only smile wryly in resignation.
"Isn't there a reason for this..."
The four tried to comfort and advise continuously.
After a considerable effort, they finally persuaded the Yansu Law little loli to change her mind.
She agreed to take one more day off before returning to work.
After that, the sulking little loli disappeared.
The others were forcefully expelled from the little loli's consciousness.
Returning to their own bodies, they looked at the glowing sphere in the distance, where the speed of character changes had returned to normal, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"How did you figure out that Yansu Law was pretending to sleep?" the white-haired elder asked Li Fan curiously, his attitude much better than before.
"It's a unique skill, and I can't disclose it." Li Fan refused to answer this question, not considering himself on equal terms with the Dao Fusion cultivators.
There was a slight awkwardness on the white-haired elder's face.
But it quickly disappeared without a trace, without erupting.
In his view, this young cultivator could see the "ailment" of Yansu Law with just one glance.
His medical skills were probably extraordinary.
Even his main body, even if not a Dao Fusion cultivator, wasn't much weaker.
"Hehe, it's okay. As long as Yansu Law wakes up." The other three Dao Fusion cultivators smiled and tried to smooth things over.
"Speaking of which, I helped you solve such a difficult problem; there should be some reward, right?" Li Fan suddenly asked.
The four were slightly taken aback.
The white-haired elder responded the quickest, "Certainly! There will be a reward!"
"The reward is easy to discuss. However, regarding the incident with Yansu Law malfunctioning, we'll need your help to keep it confidential."
"I wonder what you want as a reward?"
After pondering for a moment, Li Fan replied, "I haven't thought about it for now. If I have any demands in the future, I'll come find you. How about that?"
The white-haired elder stared at Li Fan for a moment and then didn't refuse.
Instead, he handed a jade pendant to Li Fan, indicating his identity.
Since everything was back on track, Li Fan returned to the waiting space.
Following the previous queue order, he waited for the martial arts to be deduced.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 942: Crafty Words Lure the Loli
After Yansu Law little loli returned to normal work, the waiting time was no longer as long as ten years.
Just four days later, Saint Embryo Li Fan returned to the space where Yansu Law was located.
The little loli, who was working at the desk, seemed to sense something when Li Fan arrived and suddenly looked up.
When she saw that it was indeed Li Fan, her big eyes turned around, and she immediately started to have some thoughts.
The little loli sat upright, looking serious.
When Li Fan approached, she slammed the table with her hands and said in a childish voice, "What kind of martial arts to deduce, what requirements for the martial arts, whether it's self-generated or based on existing ones, write it down yourself."
Then a blank sheet of paper flew towards Li Fan.
Seemingly forgetting about Li Fan diagnosing her earlier, she was now solely focused on deducing martial arts.
Li Fan caught the paper, and the thoughts in his mind quickly turned into rows of characters.
"Deduce a martial art resembling the 'Three Perils and Ghosts Dark Record' as the base martial art."
"Specific requirements: After practicing the martial art, the emitted aura and characteristics should be the same as the 'Three Perils and Ghosts Dark Record.' However, the core must be different, it needs to be an entirely new martial art..."
The densely packed characters quickly filled an entire page, but the paper did not get larger. Instead, the font size shrank as it cycled through multiple iterations, yet it still didn't fill the entire page.
Though it was due to the complexity of the 'Three Perils and Ghosts Dark Record' martial art, this abnormal scene still alerted the Dao Fusion cultivators guarding this space.
Li Fan keenly sensed a divine sense scanning over him.
Just as he was about to explain, Yansu Law little loli took the initiative to defend Li Fan, "Don't worry, it's indeed just a martial art. Not a 'Cursed Art.'"
The little loli supported her chin with both hands, staring ahead.
It seemed like countless characters were flashing in her big eyes.
Once the divine sense locked onto Saint Embryo Li Fan, it moved away.
Li Fan continued writing on the paper, and when he finally finished, the blank paper turned into a stream of light and flew back into Yansu Law's hands.
Little loli lowered her head, lost in thought, and didn't speak for a long time.
"Uh..."
"The base martial art is a bit complicated. Also, your requirements are a bit demanding."
"Well, there are a few more questions that need detailed explanations from you..."
After pretending to think for a moment, Yansu Law little loli suddenly slammed the table, "To prevent your martial art from leaking, come with me!"
Before Li Fan could respond, a beam of light shot down from above, enveloping him.
The next moment, Saint Embryo Li Fan disappeared from this space.
At the same time, Yansu Law little loli near the long table also disappeared.
The white-haired Dao Fusion cultivator showed up, looking helpless.
He knew about Yansu Law's childish nature. After being exposed for faking sickness by "Fan Li" before, encountering him again would undoubtedly lead to some retaliation, letting out some pent-up frustration.
However, it was just a playful act and wouldn't cause any serious consequences.
The white-haired Dao Fusion cultivator simply didn't try to stop it.
"Giving her an occasional punching bag is not a bad idea, to prevent her from going on strike so easily," the white-haired Dao Fusion cultivator thought.
In the endless sea of books world.
As soon as Saint Embryo Li Fan entered, he felt that hundreds of wooden sticks surrounded him from all sides, blocking any light from getting through, and were all swinging towards him.
"Hold on!"
At the critical moment, Li Fan shouted loudly.
The wooden sticks stopped just an inch in front of Saint Embryo Li Fan.
Yansu Law little loli appeared from above, hands on her hips, looking down at Li Fan with great satisfaction, "How is it! Do you know you're wrong now?"
"Apologize to me sincerely, and I'll spare you!"
"Otherwise..."
"Hmph!"
As a demonstration, one of the wooden sticks lightly tapped Li Fan's forehead.
Li Fan looked at Yansu Law little loli with a smile that seemed to be both smiling and not.
Her expression made her feel a bit uneasy, "What are you trying to do..."
"I warn you, don't make a move, oh!"
"If we really fight, you are not my opponent. I... I haven't fought with anyone for many years. I'm afraid I might accidentally kill you!"
Yansu Law waved her little fists, threateningly.
Li Fan just shook his head with a smile, not saying anything.
This made Yansu Law even more annoyed, "You, I really hate you!"
"Do you admit your mistake or not? If you don't apologize to me, I'm really going to beat you!"
Ignoring the wooden sticks almost sticking to his face, Li Fan sighed, "It seems... your illness hasn't fully recovered."
Hearing Saint Embryo Li Fan's words, Yansu Law little loli shivered, "What illness? I don't have an illness!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Although Yansu Law tried her best to conceal it, the panic on her little face was not feigned.
Li Fan chuckled, "Since there's no illness, why do you keep thinking about slacking off and resting even for such a short time?"
"On the surface, you want to trouble me, but in reality..."
"You just want to take advantage of this opportunity to take a break! You're so lazy, even unwilling to let go of such a short time. How negligent you are!" Li Fan's gaze was sharp as he sternly spoke.
Yansu Law's little loli body trembled, "You... why are you framing me!"
She stared at Li Fan with a face full of grievances, as if tears were about to flow.
Li Fan remained expressionless, not swayed by her act.
However, after a brief silence, he changed his tone, "But, I can't blame you."
"Moderation is the key. It's only natural to loosen and tighten appropriately. Anyone who works continuously for so long would want to take a break."
Unexpectedly, the other party spoke up for her. Yansu Law little loli widened her eyes in disbelief and nodded repeatedly.
"Moreover, in my view, your repeated strikes and laziness are not of your own volition. It's just the instinctive drive of your body."
"So-called excessive desire leads to self-destruction, ignorance leads to self-deception. It's like when ordinary people are thirsty, they want to drink water, and when hungry, they want to eat. It's your nature, unavoidable."
Saint Embryo Li Fan spoke confidently, and Yansu Law little loli was deeply fascinated. The countless wooden sticks disappeared instantly, and she pondered, "So that's how it is. No wonder I can't control myself from slacking off this time, but each time I slack off, I feel guilty."
"This is the symptom of 'Heart Deception,'" Li Fan sighed.
Looking at Li Fan, who exuded a benevolent doctor's demeanor, little loli asked curiously, "Is this also an illness? Can it be cured?"
After all, the other party could see through her fake sleeping with a glance. Little loli still had great trust in Li Fan's medical skills.
Moreover, no one had ever told her about these things before, so she couldn't help but express her doubts according to Li Fan's reasoning.
Li Fan smiled, "Curing this illness is both difficult and easy to say."
"Your inclination towards excess is due to the prolonged inability to rest."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 943: Farewell to the Bone Hall
The voice of Saint Embryo Li Fan echoed in this endless sea of martial arts.
"The more unattainable it is, the more you want it."
"So, to completely quell the greed in your heart, just satisfy your desire for 'rest' once and for all."
"Give yourself a long vacation. Long enough for you to have nothing to do, extremely bored..."
Upon hearing Li Fan's words, the eyes of little loli lit up.
She couldn't help saying, "How could anyone feel bored? If I don't need to deduce martial arts, I would definitely sleep for several decades first!"
Seemingly yearning for that wonderful holiday life, Yansu Law little loli's face was full of longing.
However, soon, she said with great frustration, "Oh, don't even talk about resting for decades. Even if I can take a break for ten days or half a month, it's already very difficult."
"It's so nice not to have to work!"
Recalling the joyous times of slacking off before, Yansu Law little loli couldn't help but sigh.
Then she looked at Li Fan and complained, "Blame you, otherwise, I could have pretended for a bit longer."
"Avoidance alone is not a solution," Li Fan chuckled, "completely resolving the symptoms is the right path."
Little loli snorted, "It's easy for you to say. I had an agreement with the Transmitter Celestial Sovereign back then. I have to deduce all the martial arts in the world before I can take a complete rest."
"Sigh, at the current speed, it will probably take a few thousand years. It's really worrying..."
Yansu Law little loli pouted, sighing.
"If only I could find another Yansu Law to help you deduce. Then you could rest, right?" At this moment, Saint Embryo Li Fan suddenly sighed.
Little loli gave Li Fan a glance, "This lady is unique in the world. Where can I find another me!"
However, shortly after, little loli stared blankly, "If the me thousands of years from now could directly hand over the deduced martial arts, then I could pretend to be working on the surface but actually be resting, right?"
Little loli's eyes became vivid, and she fell into a daydream.
Through the conversation with Yansu Law, Saint Embryo Li Fan had gathered enough information.
At this moment, he decisively spoke up to wake up the other party, "I have explained your symptoms. What about the martial arts I need?"
Yansu Law had no reaction at all, just staring blankly and giggling foolishly.
Li Fan had to raise his voice and repeat it again.
Little loli woke up from her daydream.
Looking at Li Fan with resentment, she complained, "Let me rest a bit more. Really..."
"It should be some time before those guys come to urge me again."
"And your martial arts are indeed more complicated. I can take the opportunity to rest a bit more."
Waving her hand, asking Li Fan to wait a little longer.
Little loli started to daydream again.
Li Fan didn't stop her, instead, he looked at the countless martial arts floating around.
Unlike when Yansu Law pretended to sleep, only the names of the martial arts could be seen on the covers.
The martial arts themselves were bound by chains composed of characters, making them impossible to examine.
Li Fan gave up the idea of peeping. He waited patiently for little loli to rest enough.
A whole day passed. It seemed that under the urging inquiries from countless realms, Yansu Law woke up with a hint of regret.
"Sigh..."
She stretched out her small hand, and a book with the title "Three Calamities and Hundred Tribulations Illuminating Divine Art" appeared out of thin air.
Apparently, she had already deduced it long ago.
"Move, take it. It's time for you to leave."
"I hope the next one who comes to deduce martial arts will be a bit more challenging. Then I can save some free time."
In the midst of little loli's words, Saint Embryo Li Fan returned to the space within the character sphere.
Upon returning, Yansu Law became as listless and drowsy as before.
Looking at the faint warning in the other party's eyes, Li Fan suddenly understood.
The actual speed of Yansu Law's martial arts deduction was much faster than what she showed externally.
Each martial arts deduction could be completed quickly, leaving the rest of the time for free rest.
Perhaps this was one of the reasons she could persist in deducing martial arts for thousands of years.
And perhaps the Guardian Hall of the Myriad Immortals Alliance was also aware of this.
But pressing too hard might have adverse effects. Therefore, they simply turned a blind eye.
With the martial arts in hand, the purpose of this trip had been achieved.
Li Fan bid farewell to the white-haired Guardian Hall member with a gesture.
Before leaving, Li Fan explained in detail the source of Yansu Law's illness.
Just as he was about to leave, Li Fan remembered something and took out the token that the white-haired old man had given him earlier.
"Before leaving the headquarters of the Myriad Immortals Alliance, I would like to visit the Godly Treasures Museum. Is that okay?"
The white-haired old man was stunned.
For him, visiting the Godly Treasures Museum was something he could do at any time.
However, the token he gave represented a personal favor, and its uses were too many.
If placed outside, who knows how many cultivators would fight desperately to snatch it.
Was it going to be wasted so easily?
"Young man, are you sure about this?" The white-haired old man even felt that it was a bit of a waste and couldn't help advising.
"No need. My decision is made," Li Fan replied indifferently.
The white-haired old man shook his head slightly and didn't try to dissuade him anymore.
After retrieving the token and sending Li Fan out of the Guardian Hall, he instructed the guiding cultivators and then returned to the Guardian Hall.
Meanwhile, Li Fan followed the guiding cultivators and headed towards the Godly Treasures Museum.
This time, he changed his mind and wanted to visit the Godly Treasures Museum temporarily.
In fact, it was the intention of his true self.
Firstly, to take a look at the skull displayed in the center of the museum.
Secondly, to take advantage of the time spent visiting the museum to memorize the entire "Three Calamities and Hundred Tribulations Illuminating Divine Art."
It should be safe in the Godly Treasures Museum.
But once outside the headquarters of the Immortal Alliance, it might be different.
Moreover, his behavior in the Guardian Hall was a bit outrageous, inevitably attracting attention.
Therefore, Li Fan had decided that once he left the Immortal Alliance headquarters, he would abandon this Saint Embryo to prevent being tracked.
After entering the Godly Treasures Museum, memories of various collections flooded in.
It seemed that his true self had been here before.
However, Li Fan still pretended to be visiting for the first time.
Exclamations of amazement kept coming.
In fact, he was secretly browsing through the "Three Calamities and Hundred Tribulations Illuminating Divine Art" deduced by Yansu Law.
The complexity of this martial art was second only to the Xuantian Teaching Immortal Technique.
However, its power was weaker, only showing performance and combat effectiveness at the Unity Realm.
But for deceiving Mo Ru Bin, it should be enough.
Having memorized the entire martial art, Li Fan nodded in satisfaction.
Immersed in the insights of the martial art, he finally came to the central part of the Godly Treasures Museum and snapped out of it.
He looked at the skull in front of him, lost in thought.
The skull was no different from an ordinary human skull.
But even through layers of protection, Li Fan could still sense a unique aura.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 944: The Birth of Ten Thousand Ghosts with a Thought
In the hollow eye sockets of the skull, a faint black light flickered.
It seemed that, through layers of barriers, it was making eye contact with Saint Embryo Li Fan.
However, Li Fan felt no chill or fear; instead, he felt a sense of familiarity and warmth.
As if...
He had known the owner of this skull before.
"It's strange, this feeling..."
Saint Embryo stared at the skull for a long time without leaving.
Unlike the other exhibits in the Godly Treasures Museum, there was no detailed explanation about this skull.
It served as an identification of the first skull infected with the Immortal and Mortal Plague.
Perhaps, due to the infection with the Immortal and Mortal Plague during its lifetime, the skull did not differ much from the bones left by ordinary mortals after death.
Compared to the radiant bones left by some powerful cultivators after falling, the difference was evident.
According to the guide, perhaps no one except the curator of the Godly Treasures Museum knew why this item was placed in the central position of the museum.
However, being displayed at the center of the entire Godly Treasures Museum was enough to demonstrate its value.
Whether in terms of practical or commemorative value.
Sensing the subtle emotional fluctuations from his true self, Saint Embryo also knew that this skull seemed to be very important to him as well.
However, it was clear that it was not yet time to take it.
After deeply looking at the skull one last time, Saint Embryo Li Fan was about to leave but suddenly thought of something.
Turning back, he carefully memorized the entire appearance of the skull from top to bottom.
"Perhaps the shape of the skull can be used to reconstruct the appearance of that cultivator."
It was precisely for this reason that his true self gave this instruction.
Although Li Fan himself did not possess this technical skill, in the vast Xuanhuang Realm, there were always cultivators who could accomplish this.
Next, Saint Embryo wandered around the Godly Treasures Museum for a long time.
When it was confirmed that his true self had synchronized and mastered the entire content of the "Three Calamities and Hundred Tribulations Illuminating Divine Art," he pretended to be unsatisfied and left the museum.
The guiding cultivator was still waiting outside, doing his job diligently.
Until Saint Embryo was finally sent out of the Immortal Alliance headquarters, and then the guiding cultivator disappeared.
Feeling the faint presence of a cultivator secretly following behind him, Saint Embryo Li Fan sneered in his heart.
Without any hesitation, he decisively chose to self-destruct.
The Yuan Infant's cave world within himself burst open with a huge roar, like a blazing ball of light exploding suddenly.
By the time the tracking cultivator sensed something was wrong and hurriedly caught up, Saint Embryo Li Fan had already turned into ashes!
The tracking cultivator wore black clothes, and the character "法" (Dharma) was also engraved on his forehead.
He looked at the sky with an ugly expression.
Surprisingly, there was no sign of a cultivator falling.
"Elder Zhen guessed right; it is indeed a clone!"
"Unfortunately, I didn't expect him to be so decisive and cautious, cutting off all leads!"
"It seems that I can only start with that 'Observation Dharma Token.'"
A trace of unwillingness flashed in the eyes of the black-clad cultivator. However, after repeatedly inspecting the scene and finding no clues, he could only leave with reluctance.
...
In the Spiritwood Realm.
Li Fan was carefully studying the "Three Calamities and Hundred Tribulations Illuminating Divine Art" in a secret room.
He had previously issued a "divine oracle" through the faceless idol, instructing the cultivators of the Universal Alliance to find someone who could reconstruct the appearance of the original owner of the skull.
He believed that the results would be available soon.
"If we can confirm the identity of the other party, we might be able to understand what that 'True' is truly attracted to."
Putting this matter aside for now, Li Fan now focused all his attention on the martial art before him.
As the original derivation was the "Three Perils Ghostly Divine Record," and Li Fan's request was for the performance and characteristics after the martial art was in operation to be similar to that, the "Three Calamities and Hundred Tribulations Illuminating Divine Art" could be considered a low imitation of the Ghostly Divine Record.
The Ghostly Divine Record cultivated countless thoughts within oneself, nurturing them into ghostly and godly existences. Each ghostly and godly entity could be seen as an independent individual, created by the main body and bound by it.
After the completion of the "Three Calamities and Hundred Tribulations Illuminating Divine Art," there would be countless "ghosts and gods" within the body.
However, these were not formed by cutting one's own thoughts into separate entities. Instead, they were created through the refinement and cultivation of divine thoughts.
Strictly speaking, these ghosts and gods were still a part of Li Fan's thoughts. They were just unique concrete manifestations.
Although the power limit was slightly lower, there was no risk of losing control. On the contrary, by transforming distracting thoughts into conscious creations, it made Li Fan's Dao heart purer.
Of course, for Li Fan, who possessed the "Mystical Yellow Immortal Heart Mantra," he didn't have many distracting thoughts himself. Therefore, to cultivate this martial art, Li Fan needed to specifically derive many thoughts.
Half a month later, in front of Li Fan, a humanoid and non-humanoid, deformed, and translucent creation with seven arms suddenly appeared.
Observing the conscious creation for a moment, Li Fan always felt that something was off.
Although it was also a conscious creation, it seemed to have a significant difference from what was created by the "Three Perils Ghostly Divine Record."
After contemplating for a long time, Li Fan suddenly realized.
"My mind is focused, and the conscious creations I generate tend to be more positive."
"Unlike the Ghostly Divine Record, which exudes a gloomy atmosphere."
After recognizing the reason for the difference, dark thoughts soon surfaced in Li Fan's mind.
Subsequently, the conscious creations that were created became full of evil.
Li Fan then followed the same process.
Generally speaking, generating conscious creations was not something accomplished in a day. It required combining the insights gained from one's own calamities and tribulations and nurturing them slowly.
Accumulating over time would cultivate a vast army of conscious creations.
But Li Fan was not an ordinary person.
He had experienced too much in numerous cycles.
The historical developments of many branches in the Mystical Yellow Realm, along with various experiences, all turned into nourishment for creating conscious creations.
Even benefiting from having witnessed the scene of the Mystical Yellow Realm being destroyed by a true immortal with his own eyes. The expressions of countless cultivators in their final moments of terror and despair during the world's destruction allowed Li Fan to create some conscious creations that looked terrifying and chilling.
With the added support of the "Boundless Vacuity Technique," his mental will was exceptionally powerful.
However, in just over ten days, a fierce army of evil and resentful "ghosts and gods" had taken root within Li Fan.
Sensing his own creation, even Li Fan couldn't help but furrow his brow.
"I'm afraid that releasing a single thought would truly bring about the descent of malevolent spirits."
With a thought, Li Fan appeared in an empty space.
It was the enhanced version of the Yin Yang Microcosm Formation used to trap Yan Fangzhou!
At this moment, Yan Fangzhou seemed unable to bear the inhuman torture.
With lifeless eyes, he sat on the ground, appearing like a walking corpse with no vitality.
Compared to his vigorous and lively appearance when he first arrived, the difference was like heaven and earth.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 945: All is Ready
It had to be said that Yan Fangzhou now seemed genuinely like someone with dementia. Even Li Fan, who was keenly observant, couldn't tell if he was pretending for a moment.
"But it's okay; trying it out will reveal the truth."
With a thought, thousands of terrifying and ferocious ghosts and gods instantly descended within the formation. Darkness shrouded the entire space. The deformed monsters all stared at Yan Fangzhou, each revealing a horrifying expression before rushing towards him.
For a moment, the sound of ghostly cries and wolf howls echoed. In the center of the myriad ghosts, Yan Fangzhou, who had been sitting still, suddenly jumped up. His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the countless ghostly creatures around him, shivering involuntarily.
However, just as these ghostly creatures were about to reach him, Yan Fangzhou gritted his teeth and shouted in despair, "I'll fight with you!"
He then activated the last bit of his cultivation, fiercely engaging in battle with those ghostly creatures.
"Not bad, you act quite convincingly. Almost fooled even me."
Li Fan rarely praised.
But under his guidance, the attacks of those ferocious ghostly creatures became even more ruthless.
As they were all conscious creations, every attack on Yan Fangzhou caused not only physical trauma and pain but also corresponding pain to his divine soul. The ghostly creatures seemed to be playing with him, not tearing him apart directly. Instead, they repeatedly tore small pieces from his divine soul, bringing pain a hundredfold.
"Ahhh!"
Yan Fangzhou roared in impotence and despair, eventually submerged by countless ghostly creatures.
"Heaven imposes heavy tasks on the worthy as its agent, first must it toil his mind, wear out his bones…"
"Young man, I have high hopes for you."
Li Fan nodded in satisfaction.
His figure flashed away from the scene, leaving behind thousands of ghostly creatures to train with Yan Fangzhou.
Back in the cultivation chamber, Li Fan pondered to himself, "Now that my martial art is in its early stages, the momentum is enough to disguise as the former Law King Sun Xingwang."
"As for appearance and memories, they can be concealed using the 'Forgetfulness Scripture.'"
"Everything is ready, just waiting for Mo Ruxin to come looking for me."
"I wonder how things are going with He Zhenghao..."
Soon, with the help of the faceless statue, many scenes appeared in Li Fan's mind.
Recently, He Zhenghao's prayers had decreased.
It wasn't that his faith in the Red Dust Compassionate Immortal had weakened, but he had been too busy lately. Even the thoughts of gratitude in his heart were interrupted by practical matters.
The so-called "practical matters" were the comprehensive implementation of the "Mystical Heaven Spirit Sealing."
With Li Fan's guidance, He Zhenghao had fully mastered the complete set of diagrams for the Mystical Heaven Spirit Sealing, as well as the understanding of the formation.
After a thorough review, the Strategy Formation Hall of the Immortal Union had also approved the feasibility of the Mystical Heaven Spirit Sealing.
The resolution was swift and completely different from the usual procrastination.
Approval from higher-ups came quickly, and the mission was issued: Build the real Mystical Heaven Spirit Sealing formation as soon as possible.
At the same time, the Immortal Union headquarters would provide a Tianxuan Mirror Body as a test object for the formation's power.
This experiment was almost the highest secret of the Immortal Union.
He Zhenghao was also transferred from the Strategy Formation Hall headquarters to another unknown location.
Clearly, it was a top-secret place with various defense measures. Even the images sensed by the faceless statue were somewhat blurry.
But given its power level, which was higher than the Mystical Yellow Realm, the Immortal Union couldn't completely block Li Fan's prying.
Understanding and comprehending the formation diagrams are entirely different from being able to independently construct the formation. In theory, He Zhenghao, who was all talk, faced unimaginable difficulties when he actually practiced it.
However, the Immortal Union was well aware of the difficulty of creating this formation. They dispatched six equally talented formation masters to assist him. They collectively explored and discussed the intricacies of the formation.
Chapter 945: All is Ready
Even the Chief of the Strategy Formation Hall, Lu Xichan, would frequently come to inquire about the recent progress of the formation. This undoubtedly made He Zhenghao feel immense pressure, but at the same time, a surge of excitement and hot blood flowed within him.
To explore one's innate talent in formations to the extreme, he unexpectedly succeeded in creating the preliminary Mystical Heaven Spirit Sealing formation without seeking the help of the Red Dust Compassionate Immortal.
A faint light shot out, directly hitting an ancient and simple small mirror in front of him. Ripples instinctively emanated from the small mirror, seemingly resisting the invasion of the faint light.
The two resisted each other for a moment, but in the end, the ancient small mirror emerged victorious.
Disappointment filled He Zhenghao's face.
The pent-up desire to prove himself and to demonstrate his capabilities did not materialize. He fainted on the spot, causing chaos among the present cultivators.
Although the first experiment failed, the Immortal Union did not blame him. On the contrary, they comforted him with kind words. They even made a promise that if the Mystical Heaven Spirit Sealing formation was truly successfully developed, the Immortal Union headquarters would personally intervene to reconcile He Zhenghao with Heng Ruoshui.
Hearing this, He Zhenghao, who had seemed on the brink of death just a moment ago, immediately jumped up and was ready for the next experiment.
He Zhenghao knew that although the Heng family was powerful, it was insignificant in the eyes of the entire Immortal Union. If the Immortal Union headquarters intervened, the elders of the Heng family would have no reason to obstruct their marriage.
Imagining the scene of returning to glory with Heng Ruoshui shortly, He Zhenghao suddenly became full of enthusiasm. Fatigue and hardship were completely forgotten.
This scene made Li Fan shake his head repeatedly.
"Since even the information about He Zhenghao joining the Cloud Association has been thoroughly investigated, I'm sure that his skyrocketing success after joining is not hidden either."
"Let's see when Momo Bin comes looking for us."
Li Fan's eyes flickered.
However, passive waiting was never Li Fan's style. He decided to take the initiative and create some incidents to attract Mo Ruxin's attention.
In a flash, Li Fan left the Spiritwood Realm.
After a swift flight for half a day, he arrived at the border of the Nine Mountain Province.
At this moment, the Nine Mountain Province was no longer an uninhabited plain. Since the apology of the Five Elders, the Nine Mountain Province had returned under the rule of the Immortal Union.
Moreover, this was the place where the Divine Lord Law Manifestation had first demonstrated its might, attracting many cultivators from the Immortal Union to observe.
Some cultivators even attempted to comprehend the Divine Lord Law Manifestation's killing divine ability from this place.
Combined with the absolute strategic advantage gained by the Immortal Union, there were no longer any troubles caused by the Five Elders invading for the time being.
Thus, the once barren and wild border area had become lively.
The new floating city had not been completed yet, and most cultivators were resting inside a ground-based defense fortress.
When discussing the previous great battle with the Five Elders, the cultivators were still excited.
