GRAND Chapter 1239-1242: The Origin Power Seals the Immortal Catastrophe (10k+ words)

During the 119th era, Li Fan once fabricated the rumor of the "True Immortal Shedding" and, using it as bait, lured the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance into the small world of the Life and Death Reversal Array, exposing the "Transcendent Heaven Sovereign" to the world ahead of time.

Unexpectedly, there really was a true immortal shed within the Xuanhuang Realm.

Moreover, it was not an ordinary immortal.

"The immortal body of the First Generation Great Heavenly Sovereign?"

"Interesting."

Just this sentence alone concealed many secrets.

The term "Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Sovereign" did not specifically refer to a certain cultivator but represented a certain position or title. Li Fan had already known this deep within the Fallen Immortal Realm.

"At that time, my speculation was correct. Passing the test of the Fallen Immortal Realm should enable me to succeed as the new Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Sovereign. Moreover, it's very likely that I will also obtain the few immortal artifacts left by Mr. Bai."

"So, where would Mr. Bai hide the immortal body of the First Generation Great Heavenly Sovereign? Will it still be within the Fallen Immortal Realm?"

Li Fan's thoughts swiftly turned.

And this First Generation Great Heavenly Sovereign was particularly intriguing to Li Fan.

Being able to call it an immortal shed undoubtedly meant that this Great Heavenly Sovereign had at least reached the realm of a true immortal.

How did this true immortal die? Why did he choose to leave his immortal shed in the Xuanhuang Realm before falling? Would the birth of the Fallen Immortal Realm be related to this true immortal Great Heavenly Sovereign?

Now, the Divine Emperor, a clone, had already reached the pinnacle of the Xuanhuang Realm.

Considering the expansion of the Xuanhuang Realm in recent years, the strength of the Divine Emperor could be said to be only slightly inferior to Mr. Bai from those years.

With a specific reference, Li Fan was now certain that creating the vast and illusory Fallen Immortal Realm with Mr. Bai's power alone was impossible.

However, during the era of the Ten Immortal Sects, people were unaware of the existence of the Fallen Immortal Realm.

So, it can be affirmed that even if it wasn't created directly by Mr. Bai, the Fallen Immortal Realm must have a great connection with him.

The tests within the multiple illusory realms undoubtedly confirmed this.

"Although Mr. Bai 'betrayed' the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, he did not break his word. He returned the immortal artifacts and the immortal body to the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao. Even his cultivation, during the process of opposing the immortal and mortal principles, returned to the heavens with his fall."

Li Fan pondered silently, but did not act hastily to search for the Great Heavenly Sovereign's immortal body.

Although the immortal body of the Great Heavenly Sovereign was considered an unparalleled treasure, it was of little use to the current Li Fan. Even if he could use the protection of the immortal body to cross high barriers, Li Fan would never leave recklessly without knowing what lay beyond those barriers.

Not to mention that Li Fan's current cultivation level was still insufficient to utilize the essence of immortality and divine energy.

Just understanding how to detonate immortal artifacts and utilize their eruptive power to cross high barriers without harming oneself was knowledge beyond Li Fan's current capabilities.

"It still needs to be done step by step. As long as I remain within the Xuanhuang Realm or the range of the Dark Star Sea, it will eventually be mine."

Li Fan had a clear understanding of his advantages.

"The clone of the Divine Emperor in this world already has enough strength to challenge the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. Now, with various enhancements, his strength has even surpassed mine. Let's see how he stirs up storms."

"This Xuanhuang Realm is like a small pond. Only by thoroughly stirring up the water will those old things hiding in various corners of the pond show themselves. And I just need to stay quietly here and watch the changes in the world."

"However, the Divine Emperor's clone left in the Sun family can indeed nurture a future Great Heavenly Sovereign."

His focus suddenly shifted.

The clone now completely controlled Wu Ningluo's body.

Yet, she remained unaware.

Quietly, influencing every decision and action she made.

Most importantly, without hesitating to sacrifice her own cultivation to nourish the fetus in her abdomen.

Formerly, Wu Ningluo would never have done such a thing.

She merely regarded the unborn child as a bargaining chip to restrain Sun Ang.

But now that Li Fan was involved, things naturally took a different turn.

Since the discovery of the fetus's unusual nature, the Divine Emperor's clone has diligently engaged in prenatal education.

Having experienced the pre-birth cultivation stages within the Fallen Immortal Realm and on the body of the Heavenly Mandate Black Bird, Li Fan possesses extensive experience.

Under his personal guidance, the fetus absorbs the mother's cultivation essence, gradually compensating for the innate deficiency caused by the previous sealing.

The physique grows stronger day by day, and consciousness transitions from faint to stable.

In a state of chaos, completely ignorant of anything, the Divine Emperor's clone led Li Fan into meticulously crafted illusions, one after another.

"People often say that saints are born naturally. But in reality, it's possible to forge a saint through postnatal efforts."

"The so-called evaluation is based on actions, not intentions. Regardless of inner thoughts, as long as one maintains strict moral standards and a code of conduct, even if they persist until death, they will not break..."

"So, in the eyes of others, this is a true saint."

Cultivating from a state of pre-consciousness and chaos is undoubtedly much easier than postnatal education.

Currently, what Li Fan is doing seems more like shaping the personality of a living being.

He doesn't have specific experience, only exploration through practice. If this proves successful, then at the very least, mass-producing gentlemen is completely feasible, if not saints.

Li Fan has noticed that although Mr. Bai once deceived the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, people like Mr. Bai are more likely to gain the trust of the heavenly dao.

Just like the current faceless Divine Emperor.

"And tracing it back to its root cause, it's probably related to King Xuantian Xuanyuan Hong, and even the first Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Sovereign," Li Fan mused.

Li Fan has already planned for the birth of the fetus inside Wu Ningluo to coincide with the moment she swallows the essence of heaven and earth and ascends to the Combined Dao.

"If the method is right, perhaps it can transfer the power of the laws of heaven and earth condensed in the mother's body directly to the child through childbirth."

"Maybe, it's even possible to give birth to the first practitioner born in the Xuanhuang Realm, in a state of combined Dao..."

"With such an anomaly, who dares to say he is not a saint?"

Thinking like this, Li Fan unexpectedly felt some anticipation for the future of this fetus.

He has even written the script of destiny for him in advance.

"Such a genius will undoubtedly be seen as the hope of the future Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. And it's precisely such a figure who, when the Great Opening Holy Dynasty wages war against the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, resolutely chooses to strike back."

"Still firmly claiming to stand on the side of justice."

...

"All the people in the Xuanhuang Realm, the scene of forcing the transmission of laws, I think it must be very interesting."

Vivid images flashed through Li Fan's mind.

Without relying on Dao stones for deduction, he could already roughly predict the future direction of this world.

However, this is the most ideal situation.

Whether it is cultivating pre-natal saints or the Great Opening Dynasty truly developing to the point of compelling the transmission of laws, it will still take a long time to slowly develop.

Similarly, in the Sun family.

The divine sense hidden in the Immeasurable Mirror is much more leisurely than the Divine Emperor's clone.

In addition to continuously peering into the secrets of the Heavenly Mystery Mirror, most of his energy is used to attempt to lure out the grinding wind calamity from within the mirror.

Due to Sun Luyuan's affiliation with the Holy Emperor, he had the privilege of borrowing more than a hundred recently born, robust members of the Ghost Tribe.

At this moment, hidden in an underground chamber in the Sun family, beside the family's essence blood pool.

The treatment of these Ghost Tribe members is even better than their counterparts in the Holy Dynasty.

They even have two hours of rest every day.

Of course, this isn't Li Fan being overly charitable, but rather the Immeasurable Mirror being unable to withstand too frequent experimentation and requiring time to rest.

"My guess was correct. This grinding wind calamity does indeed actively attack forces approaching the realm of 'immortality.'"

At this moment, the Immeasurable Mirror emitted a faint gloom, floating in the air.

The mirror surface didn't reflect the external scenes, but rapidly flashed scenes of many civilizations undergoing destruction and calamities.

A sense of ancient and profound weariness emerged from the mirror.

The Immeasurable Mirror, which had just recovered after absorbing essence blood, once again became severely damaged.

An invisible black grinding wind was drawn from the Immeasurable Mirror.

It flew towards a nearby golden square.

Constituting this square was naturally the pure origin power.

Although it couldn't compare to the Divine Emperor's clone's refined origin power, it was sufficient to lure the grinding wind calamity.

As the grinding wind calamity entered the range of origin power coverage, its form instantly changed.

The transcendent power vanished in an instant, and the decrease in the purity of the origin power led to a decline in energy levels.

The grinding wind calamity, losing its target, briefly stayed in place.

It was about to continue spreading to the surroundings.

But the transformation of origin power formed a large array, locking the power of the grinding wind calamity within.

In creating this array, Li Fan referred to the incomplete Xuan Yuan Origin Spirit Grand Array, simulating a relatively stable space with formations.

Inside the array, there was nothing, absolute emptiness.

It resembled the post-apocalyptic scenario where everything had been destroyed.

The grinding wind calamity was indeed enchanted, no longer erupting violently, but slowly lurking.

Similarly dormant was the remaining power of the wind calamity inside the Immeasurable Mirror.

"Senior's methods are truly ingenious. As long as this happens a few more times, the hidden dangers in my body can be completely eliminated." Immeasurable Mirror Spirit Sun Luyao said with uncontrollable joy.

Li Fan didn't respond to him; instead, he carefully stored the golden cube containing the grinding wind calamity.

He had already created more than twenty similar cubes.

Due to differences in proficiency, the wind calamity power contained within them varied.

But undoubtedly, if the balance state of each golden cube was broken, a terrifying calamity would erupt.

Sun Luyao didn't care about Li Fan's silence but continued to talk about his changes.

"Senior, I have a premonition. When this wind calamity is completely eradicated, my control over the Immeasurable Mirror will reach a completely new realm. By then, I might be able to sense the whereabouts of other fragments of the Immeasurable Mirror, completely restoring this immortal artifact."

"Yes." Li Fan nodded indifferently, his attention still focused on those golden cubes.

Having witnessed Li Fan's methods, Sun Luyao, eager to show off, hesitated for a moment and couldn't help saying, "Senior, when I completely restore it into an immortal artifact, maybe I can synchronously sense the whereabouts of other possible remaining artifacts within the Xuanhuang Realm."

Hearing Sun Luyao's words, Li Fan turned his head slightly.

"Oh? Are you so sure?"

Sun Luyao's spirit shook, and he quickly explained, "Entities like us, similar in nature, can always sense each other. Especially my Immeasurable Mirror, which also has the ability to search the heavens and earth. If there are indeed other artifacts in the Xuanhuang Realm, then after my restoration, the probability of finding them is quite high."

Li Fan smiled, "I think you've been locked up for too long, and you really can't wait to go out and take a stroll, right?"

Sun Luyao smiled shyly, "Of course, that's also a reason. But helping Senior find artifacts is definitely not a lie."

Li Fan glanced at him, "Let's first completely eliminate this wind calamity."

Li Fan's expression became somewhat solemn, "Although it appears extremely weakened now, there are still no signs of a complete reduction in its roots."

"After all, it is a power beyond the mundane; we can't be careless."

Sun Luyao deeply agreed, nodding. 

...

The Great Opening of the Holy Dynasty.

It has been more than ten days since Li Ping completely devoured the malicious thoughts of Xuanhuang.

Having gained such a massive force and experienced a rapid surge in strength, Li Ping also needed some time to digest and adapt.

He took a rare break.

However, within the Great Opening of the Holy Dynasty, it was bustling with prosperity, as usual.

Currently, the destiny of the Great Opening of the Holy Dynasty was highly tied to the Holy Emperor Li Ping.

In normal circumstances, after practicing the Emperor's Qi Scripture, it would lead to the growth of the imperial dynasty's destiny, driving the emperor's strength improvement.

But at this moment in the Great Opening, it was a rare occurrence for the Holy Emperor's strength to break through, reciprocating the destiny of the Holy Dynasty.

As the hearts of the people and the destiny of the Holy Dynasty further strengthened, it finally reciprocated to the Holy Emperor.

Therefore, in addition to the power boost from devouring the malicious thoughts of Xuanhuang, Li Ping's Emperor's Qi Scripture, shortly after breaking through, was approaching the level of transformation.

However, this time, there was no record in the original scriptures about the future path.

There was no way forward.

"Similar to the realm below the True Immortal, akin to the Longevity Realm, is already the limit of the flow of destiny."

"After all, wanting to break free and achieve True Immortality solely by relying on the destiny of the imperial dynasty..."

"...is still too difficult."

"Unless it is a great imperial dynasty that can span the starry sea."

Li Ping shook his head slightly, suppressing this thought.

The prerequisite for the Dark Abyss Star Sea is here, even if the Holy Dynasty unifies the Xuanhuang Realm, it is not enough to support his breakthrough to the True Immortal realm.

"Since this path is no longer viable, I have to find another way."

"The malicious thoughts of Xuanhuang have been devoured by me, and next, if I want to become stronger..."

"One is the Treasure Fishing Pool."

"And second..."

The Holy Emperor sat in the Holy Emperor's seat, and images of indigenous creations of the Xuanhuang Realm, such as wood and stone tablets, appeared in his mind.

"As a part of the laws of the Xuanhuang Realm, when calamities befall the heavens and the earth, they are living well."

"Given by heaven and earth, since they are useless to them, it's time to reclaim them from heaven and earth."

A chilling aura surged from the faceless Holy Emperor.

(End of this chapter)

Li Ping's mind surged with killing intent, but soon, the aura emanating from him vanished without a trace.

As the Grand Opening Holy Emperor, he naturally had to maintain a poker face, even when no outsiders were present.

"Reclaiming the power of Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao doesn't necessarily mean exterminating them."

"If they willingly return the power, I won't create unnecessary enmity. But if..."

A chilling feeling filled Li Ping's heart.

Though Ruomu and the Stone Tablet were solitary figures, their combat strength was undoubtedly equivalent to a cultivator in the Longevity Realm. Engaging in a battle with them, as a warm-up before the decisive battle with the Myriad Immortals League, was a good choice.

"In the face of a rabbit, a lion should use all its strength. I must not underestimate them."

"If Ruomu is weaker, I'll start with him. I also need to avoid the eyes of the Stone Tablet..."

A plan began to take shape in the Holy Emperor's mind.

As one of the three major branches of the ancient tree of earth veins, the Geomantic Ancient Tree would undoubtedly have a specific connection with its mother body.

After being severely injured by cultivators, Ruomu went mad and secluded himself from the world.

Perhaps, by using the Geomantic Ancient Tree, Li Ping could first locate Ruomu's true hiding place and then weaken his power.

With a thought, Wang Xuanba soon arrived at the Holy Emperor's seat.

Since Li Ping had completely devoured the malicious thoughts of Xuanhuang, there was no need for him to stay on the mountaintop of the sealed small world.

After receiving the Holy Emperor's message not long ago, he had already returned to the Holy Capital.

Li Ping's breakthrough also brought benefits to him due to having a clone in the small world.

Wang Xuanba's realm had now reached the peak of Nascent Infant, and he was not far from Nascent Divinity.

However, Wang Xuanba's strength was more evident in the abilities of various exotic beasts. The realm was not particularly important to him.

"Dao One Insect has a variant capable of eroding spirit wood. Cultivate some of them first; they will be useful to me soon."

Wang Xuanba nodded in agreement.

...

While Holy Emperor Li Ping prepared to reveal his majesty to the Xuanhuang Realm for the first time, at the distant end of the Dark Abyss Star Sea, beyond the Immortal Vessel, Saint Fetus Li Fan encountered a crisis.

The danger did not come from the remnants of the immortal power in the starry sky or unknown cultivators but from the relic sea he was in.

Not long ago, for some unknown reason, the originally stable ruins began to vibrate slightly.

The tremors of the relic sea were one thing, but more importantly, when these continuous ruins no longer resembled a single entity, the suction force from the deeper parts of the starry sea, originating from the high walls, became increasingly apparent.

In the eyes of Saint Fetus Li Fan, the entire starry sky seemed to suddenly rise like a tide, sweeping countless gathered relics towards the coast.

The Immortal Vessel activated a special contingency plan.

Although the Immortal Vessel remained invisible, hidden in the void, Saint Fetus Li Fan could still keenly sense its movement.

It was not advancing in a fixed direction but constantly changing its position, evading the suction force from the high walls.

Like a rotating compass needle, removing the suction force from the high walls.

Initially, Saint Fetus Li Fan also thought about learning this method to resist the suction force from the high walls.

However, it was not as easy as it seemed.

"The rotation of the Immortal Vessel is not just centered on itself but is faintly connected to the entire relic sea. It can barely escape using this nearly infinite number of relics."

Saint Fetus Li Fan felt a force dragging his body.

Even if he flew in the opposite direction with his sword, he was gradually losing ground.

Seeing himself getting further away from the Immortal Vessel, about to be dragged into the depths of the relic sea, Saint Fetus Li Fan couldn't help but think about forcibly entering the Immortal Vessel for refuge.

Although it would lead to a fierce battle, it was better than crashing head-on into the invisible walls.

Just as he was about to take action, in the Dark Abyss Star Sea, from the direction of the Xuanhuang Realm and Immortal Ruins, a rainbow light appeared, attracting his attention.

After a moment of surprise, he quickly realized that it was the sixteen Dao Fusion cultivators summoned by the Myriad Immortals League!

"They came so quickly?"

Saint Fetus Li Fan couldn't help but be surprised.

In the vast expanse of the starry sea, even with varying time flows in different regions, the arrival of the rainbow light was much earlier than Li Fan had anticipated.

"Wait, could it be that this sudden change in attraction is meant to guide the Wanxian Alliance's rainbow light?"

As he watched the rainbow light swiftly traverse the starry sea, this thought crossed Li Fan's mind. After contemplating for a moment, he abandoned futile struggles and, using the attraction, flew deep into the starry sea.

Despite the high speed of the rainbow light, within the debris-filled sea of remnants, its pace slowed down. Li Fan, protected by a sword formation, silently followed.

Initially, Li Fan believed the range of this sea of remnants to be limited. However, after tracking for about three days in the Xuanhuang Realm, he realized the extent of the once flourishing cultivation world in the dark abyss of the Zhi An Star Sea.

There was no visible end beyond the remnants, with no distinction between east, west, south, or north.

Yet, the Wanxian Alliance's rainbow light had a special guidance, always maintaining a fixed direction. The route seemed meticulously calculated, skillfully avoiding dangerous zones within the remnants.

Thanks to their efforts, Saint Embryo Li Fan smoothly trailed behind.

Four days later, the densely packed shattered remnants in front suddenly became spacious. Li Fan's spirit trembled, realizing they were about to exit the sea of remnants. With no barriers, the rainbow light gradually accelerated. In just half a day, Li Fan witnessed a scene he would never forget.

A towering wall stood in the dark void ahead.

Initially, Li Fan thought it was the so-called high wall. However, upon scrutinizing the details of the wall, he suddenly understood. The "bricks" forming the sprawling wall, unseen to its end, were clearly remnants of one world after another!

Just like the debris within this sea of remnants, the front was a ruin of worlds!

Li Fan estimated that, despite swallowing many remnants of the cultivation world, the scale of the Xuanhuang Realm, far surpassing the ancient era, within this realm wall was merely insignificant.

How many cultivation worlds had perished in the ancient calamity?

And why did their immense power all converge here?

The high wall...

Li Fan gazed into the distance, attempting to locate the nameless and formless high wall. Yet, in the darkness, nothing abnormal could be seen apart from countless remnants.

After a brief distraction, Li Fan realized he still couldn't control his flight towards the remnants.

And the speed was increasing.

"If I crash into it like this, even with my Divine Sword Body, I'll surely perish." Li Fan furrowed his brows.

But he quickly locked onto the Wanxian Alliance's rainbow light ahead.

For some unknown reason, the rainbow light showed no intention of slowing down. Instead, it accelerated again towards a fragment within the high wall, as if something there had a more compelling force than the resonance of the high wall.

An unease flashed through Li Fan's mind.

"The Law-Transmitting Celestial?"

After approaching the location where the rainbow light changed direction, he also sensed that force.

Under the internal warning, Saint Fetus Li Fan did not follow and fly over. Instead, he continued flying towards the depths of the Remnant Sea. Possibly due to the influence of transmission power, Li Fan's speed gradually slowed down.

Eventually, he found a stable point and stabilized. However, Li Ping knew this stability was temporary. Once the suspected transmission power disappeared, he would uncontrollably rush towards the high wall again.

Li Fan attempted to fly into the broken world here for refuge. However, the corpses in these worlds, unlike the Profound Yellow Realm, obviously didn't provide protection for cultivators.

"It seems my life won't last much longer."

Just as Saint Fetus Li Fan thought this, not far away, where the original Rainbow Light of the Wanxian Alliance was.

A sudden disappearance of a breath made him startle. Before he could react, the second and third breaths of Harmonious Dao cultivators disappeared successively.

Harmonious Dao cultivators, even those rapidly advanced, were ultimately powerhouses under the Longevity Realm - a coveted existence for countless cultivators.

But at this moment, within the dark void inside the Remnant Realm's Great Wall, not a single struggling sound could be heard; the deaths were silent.

"What's going on?"

"Is it the hand of the transmission power?"

"Did we call them over through hardships just for slaughter?"

While Saint Fetus Li Fan was filled with uncertainty, the speed at which Harmonious Dao cultivators disappeared from the Rainbow Light of the Wanxian Alliance did not decrease.

In the blink of an eye, sixteen Harmonious Dao cultivators all perished.

"If they die here, will they be reincarnated?" Saint Fetus Li Fan suddenly thought.

"Wait a minute, reincarnated under the heavens..."

Li Fan suddenly thought of something, quickly focused, and sensed where the Rainbow Light disappeared. Although the life aura of the cultivators had vanished, the power of the laws of heaven and earth still faintly existed there. However, it was gradually weakening, like ice gradually melting into water rhythmically.

"This is..." Li Fan was shocked, understanding what had just happened.

Next, the previously turbulent Remnant Sea unexpectedly stabilized for some unknown reason.

This further confirmed Li Fan's judgment.

"Using the heavenly essence within the bodies of Harmonious Dao cultivators to repair the Remnant Realm's Great Wall?"

Li Fan was shocked and angry. "Going through all this trouble just to dismantle one wall and repair another?"

It felt absurd to Li Fan. However, subsequently, the complete stabilization of the Remnant Realm's Great Wall caused the reverberating star power of the high wall to slowly weaken.

All this made him unable to help but believe.

Although he wanted to rush to the place where the Rainbow Light disappeared and see what happened, Saint Fetus Li Ping was not ready to face the transmission power directly at this moment. Especially since his Saint Fetus body was also formed by the laws of the Profound Yellow Realm's Sword.

Rushing over recklessly would likely end up like those sixteen Harmonious Dao cultivators, becoming materials to repair the Remnant Realm's Great Wall.

Although Saint Fetus Li Fan was not afraid of death, dying like that was truly too frustrating.

"The great upheaval in the Profound Yellow Realm originated from the reverberating star power of the high wall."

"Judging by the current situation, this reverberating star power and the Remnant Realm's Great Wall seem to have reached a subtle balance. Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be enough to spread to the Profound Yellow Realm."

"So, it's because an external force disrupted the balance of the Remnant Realm's Great Wall that it caused the upheaval in the Starry Sea?"

"This continuous world ruin that has existed for eternity will show imbalances."

Saint Fetus Li Fan couldn't help but recall the incident where he destroyed a piece of the Remnant Realm in the Profound Yellow Realm before.

Afterward, a figure resembling the transmission power appeared, using new fragments of the world to patch up.

"Could it be that this action led to the subsequent changes?" Li Fan suddenly felt a helpless and bitter smile in his heart.

"What is this? Dismantle the east wall to repair the west wall. Then dismantle the west wall to repair the east wall?" After some contemplation, Li Fan felt that this possibility was quite high.

"After all, looking at the current reality, it seems to have turned this catastrophe around."

Li Fan fell into silent contemplation.

He carefully recalled and reviewed the details of this matter.

"There are still some strange aspects."

"Since the state of the Remnant Realm's Great Wall can be easily disrupted, then when the transmission power took away the world fragments, they should have been extremely cautious. Acting in such a haphazard manner doesn't seem to fit the style of the transmission power."

"Unless the operating mechanism of this Remnant Realm's Great Wall is too mysterious, even the transmission power has only partial knowledge. Or..."

"The node within the Abyss that disrupted the Profound Yellow Realm is crucial. It cannot be lost. Even if it causes an imbalance in the Remnant Realm's Great Wall, the transmission power had no choice but to do so."

Saint Fetus Li Fan's thoughts swiftly turned.

Under the current conditions, it was impossible to determine which speculation was correct.

But now it could be confirmed that the Transmission Power Celestial Lord was within this Remnant Realm's Great Wall.

Or perhaps, it was the Celestial Healer.

Saint Fetus Li Fan cautiously concealed his aura once again, remaining still and not making any rash moves.

Fortunately, the energy here was quite chaotic and intricate.

Although the reverberating star power was restrained by the Remnant Realm's Great Wall, it still undulated like waves, creating ripples in the void.

This effectively concealed the slight fluctuations that Li Fan exposed.

He patiently waited for over ten days until the internal warning completely disappeared.

Only then did Saint Fetus Li Fan slowly fly towards the location where the Rainbow Light disappeared.

His flight was slow, and the distance that could have been covered in the blink of an eye took him almost half a day.

Waiting until he was sure that no one was following, Li Fan finally examined the small world where he was located.

It seemed to have no significant difference from the other fragments of worlds here.

But for some reason, Li Fan felt a familiar sensation in his heart.

"What could it be..."

After a while, Li Fan realized.

"Cong Yunhai..."

"Cong Yunhai was once a part of it, or perhaps, it's a fragment belonging to the Tianfa Realm with a very similar aura."

Once, Li Fan used the Canghai Pearl to establish the foundation, merging his consciousness with Cong Yunhai.

In this life, the Saint Emperor's clone directly devoured the remaining consciousness of Cong Yunhai. It could be said that Li Fan was very familiar with the land of Cong Yun.

So, even though the world fragments here were already desolate and silent for a long time, after Li Fan stood there for a moment, he still felt that familiar sensation.

Li Fan suddenly realized in his heart, "Perhaps it's because the Transmission Power intervened to repair, and also because this place is its hometown."

Strolling through the ruins of the Tianfa Realm, even though thousands of years had passed, one could still clearly see the terrifying traces left when the world was destroyed.

There were no intact structures on the surface, only scattered ruins with star points. Occasionally, one could see the bones of cultivators in the ruins, but judging from their postures, it seemed that they didn't die in a battle.

"It seems the calamity occurred very suddenly, and they couldn't even struggle."

Although he had destroyed the Profound Yellow Realm in various ways, every time after the destruction, Li Fan found himself back on the peak of Mount Jielishan. He had witnessed the extinction of worlds only a few times.

A suppressed feeling surged into Saint Fetus Li Fan's heart.

It wasn't that his mood was shaken, but the beings in this environment would instinctively produce such reactions.

This world fragment wasn't too large, and Li Fan quickly searched through it, finding no valuable clues.

"But compared to other fragments, this remnant world is relatively intact. Currently, the Transmission Power is only concerned about the balance of the Remnant Realm's Great Wall and hasn't taken action. It's likely that it will take it away soon."

"It's not suitable to stay here for long."

Li Fan decisively transformed into a stream of light and left the area quietly.

After some thought, he didn't directly return to the Xuanxian Ship but chose to stay hidden in the Remnant Realm's Great Wall.

One reason was that he already had his consciousness lurking inside the Xuanxian Ship, manipulating Zhao Xian. In the current situation, there was no need for him to take action.

The other reason was...

"The upper limit of laws here has increased."

"Is it because it's closer to the high wall, or is it due to the remnants of the Thousand Realms?"

"Without considering environmental factors, this is indeed a good place for enlightenment and cultivation."

Saint Fetus Li Fan, who achieved the Dao Foundation with the Profound Yellow Sword Dao, was exceptionally sensitive to the laws.

If the still intact Profound Yellow Realm was a low point in the law's upper limit in the dark star sea, then this Remnant Realm, as the pinnacle of the entire star sea's law's upper limit, was its highest peak.

Despite the influence of reverberating star power, the rhythm of the laws was challenging to capture. It was inherently incomplete and chaotic.

However, if one could seize the fleeting opportunities for comprehension, perhaps a single enlightenment would surpass the ordinary cultivation of a hundred or even a thousand years.

"The supreme principles of the Mortal Realm were forcefully torn apart by the power of True Immortal Seals from the Immortal Realm and scattered in the star sea."

"As a survivor like me, it is easier to sense and comprehend. If under normal circumstances..."

Saint Fetus Li Fan's thoughts flowed slowly, numerous insights and revelations surging into his mind simultaneously.

Worried that the sword light might attract the Transmission Power and the Celestial Healer, who might exist in the Remnant Realm's Great Wall, even with thousands of inspirations, Li Fan didn't actually make a move.

He merely simulated in his mind.

Even so, it made him extremely pleased.

At the same time, a thought arose involuntarily, "Staying here all year round, it seems that both the Transmission Power and the Celestial Healer's cultivation should have reached the peak of the mortal realm."

He had harbored suspicions during the journey in the star sea.

Now he was overwhelmingly confident in this speculation.

Regarding the talents of Transmission Power and Celestial Healer, Li Fan has no doubts.

Their ability to comprehend the highest laws of the star sea is definitely higher than that of Saint Fetus.

However, compared to before, Li Fan's previous unease has disappeared.

"They have indeed reached the limit of the dark star sea, but it stops here. The Immortal Path is severed, and achieving immortality is hopeless..."

A faint light flashed in Li Fan's eyes.

The reason people consider Transmission Power unparalleled is because they are unclear about its cultivation realm.

Due to the unknown, it causes fear and confusion.

Although Li Fan had vague speculations before, he could only quantify the pinnacle state below the Immortal Realm. The difference between this pinnacle state and the Eternal Life Realm is something Li Fan cannot precisely sense.

However, now, beneath the high wall, he personally felt the existence of the upper limit of power in this darkest star sea. Li Fan's doubts disappeared.

Having a target makes it more convenient to pursue.

Li Fan also feels fortunate that Transmission Power and Celestial Healer have remained in this realm for thousands of years. The upper limit of the star sea is the reason. It means their cultivation has been stagnant for a long time, indirectly giving Li Fan time to catch up.

"Moreover, with a True Immortal in Xianxu, even if they find a way to break through the mortal realm, for the sake of the safety of the Profound Yellow Realm, they will have to think twice."

"In a race between the tortoise and the hare, the tortoise is the winner."

Li Fan dismisses distracting thoughts and focuses on comprehending the highest laws of the free-floating star sea.

...

Profound Yellow Realm.

After a period of cultivation, Wang Xuanba has successfully bred enough of the Dao One Worm mentioned by the Holy Emperor.

"Spiritual trees of heaven and earth each have their own effects. My little worms also have a wonderful feature. After devouring them, the spiritual trees don't die immediately. Instead, they gradually transform into worm-ified spiritual trees. The original consciousness can choose to preserve itself freely or even integrate other sources of consciousness into the group, achieving a presence like a clone." Wang Xuanba proudly explained to Oushang Tian.

"Hey, I still find the path of these exotic beasts fascinating. This formation is really dull." Oushang Tian's eyes flashed with a hint of envy.

Wang Xuanba smiled and teased, "Who made you, little guy, so ambitious? Seeing something new, you want to learn it all, which made Master unhappy."

"Yeah, before reaching Master's requirements in the formation path, I can't be distracted. Alas, it seems far away." Oushang Tian sighed.

"By the way, Master said before that he would let me act as bait in the future, luring out a hidden expert in the Profound Yellow Realm. That person is powerful, and if my formation skills are not perfect, there might be a danger to my life. I don't know if it's true or not." Oushang Tian said casually.

Wang Xuanba's expression changed when he heard this, "Junior brother, stop talking nonsense! Since Master said so, it must be true. You've seen Senior Brother Xu Ke before. The hidden experts in the Profound Yellow Realm are not to be underestimated. Junior brother, be sure to take it seriously!"

Oushang Tian nodded superficially, but he still had some doubts in his heart.

He had seen Xu Ke before, but that person was just an old man on the verge of death.

Although his strength was much stronger than Oushang Tian, with the radiance of the Seven-Colored Jade Void, he could escape even if he wanted to. Oushang Tian wasn't too worried.

"I want to see how powerful the expert Master mentioned really is!"

Under the Saint Emperor's seat, in the Holy Dynasty's treasure trove.

Li Ping glanced slightly towards the position of Oushang Tian and Wang Xuanba, shaking his head.

He naturally sensed Oushang Tian's thoughts.

Youthful arrogance, coupled with various divine items, can be understood.

"But if you're not diligently studying formations and rely solely on the Seven-Colored Divine Light, it's a bit difficult to escape from the stone slab's hands."

Smiling inwardly, Li Ping had no intention of reminding him again.

Let him face some setbacks; the stone slab won't recklessly act.

Once the stone slab appears, Li Ping will deal with it.

After putting aside the matter of retrieving the stone slab and dealing with Ruo Mu, Li Ping reached out and touched the orange cat lying on his shoulder.

Compared to before, the cat's size had increased.

Its fur, previously sparse, became dense and somewhat silky.

What caught the attention of the Holy Emperor was the cat's second change.

Previously, Cat Treasure could transform into a small square box. When the box emitted light, it could replicate the enclosed objects.

The limit of this ability is currently unknown, but at least for a Boundary Device refined from the power of one realm, Cat Treasure can replicate it without any problems, albeit with some excessive consumption.

Not long ago, when Wang Xuanba brought the Dao One Worm that devoured the spiritual trees to report to the Holy Emperor, Li Ping experienced Cat Treasure conveying thoughts for the first time.

After Wang Xuanba left, Li Ping conducted an experiment.

He placed a group of approximately tens of thousands of Dao One Worms in front of Cat Treasure.

At first, Cat Treasure seemed somewhat apprehensive, observing from a distance. However, its eyes revealed desire.

Advancing two steps and retreating one step, Cat Treasure slowly approached the group of Dao One Worms.

The Dao One Worms, usually sensitive to external objects, showed no reaction to Cat Treasure's approach.

Finally reaching the front of the worm group, Cat Treasure emitted a blue light under Li Ping's gaze, transforming into a blue light sphere.

Enveloping the Dao One Worms.

The worm group inside the blue light sphere seemed to be instantly frozen, entering a state of stillness.

On the surface of the light sphere, various views of the Dao One Worms' body structure occasionally flashed.

Li Ping's expression became serious.

The light sphere did not last long; apparently, this form consumed energy excessively.

After a short time, Cat Treasure reverted to the form of a small kitten and returned to Li Fan's side.

Lazily lying on Li Ping's shoulder.

As for the Dao One Worms that were previously motionless, they resumed their movement.

However, from start to finish, they showed no awareness of what happened to them.

"It's not that the intelligence of the Dao One Worm is too low. If it were transformed into a cultivator in the Profound Yellow Realm, the results might not be much better."

"This blue light from Cat Treasure..."

It's a power that Li Ping had never seen before, a mysterious force until now.

With a thought, he patted Cat Treasure.

Although the little orange cat was somewhat unwilling, considering Li Ping had been feeding it the essence of golden source power for a long time, it reluctantly perked up.

A blue light enveloped its body and shattered instantly.

After a moment, Cat Treasure astonishingly transformed into a group of Dao One Worms!

Exactly the same as the ones previously enclosed by the blue light sphere not far away!

The entire transformation process happened right under Li Ping's eyelids, yet he couldn't find any difference between the two.

"It's not a magical change but a complete transformation of life form. That's why there's no perceivable difference."

Even though he proclaimed himself the Holy Emperor of Destiny, transcendent in the Profound Yellow Realm, Li Ping couldn't help but express sincere amazement at this seemingly miraculous technique.

"Moreover, the transformation is not limited to the original body's replication. It can also evolve completely according to the characteristics of the replicated entity."

Li Ping seemed to have an insight, and a golden light appeared at his fingertips.

Cat Treasure understood Li Ping's intention. The group of Dao One Worms it transformed into suddenly swelled in size. In visible changes, from the previous tens of thousands, it became several hundred thousand, increasing tenfold.

The group of Dao One Worms transformed by Cat Treasure returned to Li Ping's side as if seeking praise.

After receiving permission, amid the shattered blue light, it turned back into the appearance of a small orange cat.

It joyfully swallowed the essence of the source power.

"In fact, this is also a form of replication. However, it replicates life forms and can achieve transformations of Cat Treasure itself."

"This kind of technique..."

Li Ping fell into silence.

In his memory, perhaps only treasures from the immortal realm could accomplish this.

However, there was no trace of immortal energy on Cat Treasure's body.

"Beyond the high wall..."

An undeniable fact was now clear.

"But I wonder, what level of treasure is this Cat Treasure outside the high wall?"

Li Ping's determination remained unshaken; he didn't waver in his resolve due to the potential disparity between inside and outside the high wall.

"Item replication, lifeform mimicry... I wonder if Cat Treasure has any other functions?"

To find answers from the little orange cat, but Cat Treasure itself had limited knowledge about its abilities. It only learns automatically when the conditions are triggered.

"Moreover, Cat Treasure is not willing to replicate or mimic any life form."

"I've tried some ordinary exotic beasts, but it showed no reaction. It's only interested in peculiar entities like Dao One Worms."

Li Ping gently stroked this treasure outside the high wall, and various applications flashed through his mind.

"Although Cat Treasure lacks offensive capabilities, its value is much higher than mere destructive treasures."

As if sensing Li Ping's thoughts, the little orange cat meowed triumphantly.

Seven days later, Wang Xuanba arrived in the Profound Yellow Realm with a wooden box.

Standing on the ground, Wang Xuanba closed his eyes, sensing the underground flow of geothermal energy.

"Let's start with some appetizers. The main course is yet to come."

A smile appeared on Wang Xuanba's face as he transformed into a shadow, diving into the earth.

In an instant, he reached the deepest part underground.

The surging geothermal energy formed a protective barrier, preventing him from getting close.

He even faintly sensed a strand of consciousness passing by.

Wang Xuanba sneered inwardly, breaking the wooden box.

A mass of shadow swiftly flew towards the yellow geothermal vein.

The protective layer was easily devoured as if it were made of paper.

Originally serving as a protective force for the geothermal veins, the power was consumed by the Dao Yi Worm, turning into nourishment instead.

Initially, a small black shadow the size of a fist quickly expanded like dense ink in water, gradually staining the rushing geothermal river black.

What's more intriguing is that the black torrent, after being eroded by the Dao Yi Worm, apart from the difference in color, exhibited no discernible change in its aura and energy fluctuations compared to the previous yellow geothermal veins. Pure perception couldn't detect this transformation.

However, within the Dao Yi Worm swarm, Wang Xuanba, with his own duplicates, keenly felt the horrifying growth and expansion speed of the worm swarm.

Following the geothermal veins, centered around Yueyangzhou in the Xuan Huang Realm, it rapidly spread across various areas.

Besides horizontal expansion, vertically in space, the Dao Yi Worms continuously eroded downwards along the dense roots of the inverted trees.

"Such wonders in creation, reaching such extremes. If not for Master's guidance, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought that such a colossal tree hides beneath the ground in the Xuan Huang Realm," sighed Wang Xuanba.

Utilizing the images transmitted by the Dao Yi Worm's body, Wang Xuanba saw the once densely packed but motionless roots gradually come to life, swaying slightly as they turned black.

A massive consciousness swept through the now blackened parts, more perplexed than before. Wang Xuanba knew this was the consciousness of the Geothermal Ancient Tree.

However, it was futile. Until these mutated Dao Yi Worms fully initiated the transformation and did not just inhabit, the Geothermal Ancient Tree couldn't perceive the fact that its body was being contaminated.

"Clearly knowing something is wrong with one's body but unable to find the cause. As the illness worsens, the fear and despair in the heart accumulate. The strategy of attacking the mind is truly a good method devised by Master," Wang Xuanba sneered, feeling it was almost enough, and immediately issued a command.

The surging shadows rapidly spreading came to a sudden stop in an instant. The Dao Yi Worm swarm fell into a deep slumber, infiltrating the body of the Geothermal Ancient Tree.

The yellow geothermal energy continued to wash over, seemingly suppressing the shadows. However, the black did not disappear; it still settled at the bottom of the yellow.

Looking from a macro perspective, it seemed as if a dim spot had been added to the Xuan Huang geothermal veins.

"Master said that the geothermal veins ultimately affect the countless lives on the surface, and even a slight change can cause mountains to collapse. If mishandled, it may even provoke the hostility of the Xuan Huang Heavenly Dao..."

Wang Xuanba just sensed a slight movement in the will of the heavens and earth. However, with the Dao Yi Worm swarm lying dormant, this disturbance quickly vanished.

"Interesting," Wang Xuanba squinted his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then hurriedly moved on to the next geothermal node. He aimed to plant sixteen similar black spots within the body of the Geothermal Ancient Tree.

The plan progressed smoothly.

Except for the last few times when the increasingly restless Ancient Tree initiated a violent eruption of geothermal flow, causing him some minor injuries, the other shadow arrangements were perfect.

Even if the Ancient Tree struggled to perceive, it was utterly in vain. Instead, it made the speed of the Dao Yi Worm swarm spreading in the geothermal veins skyrocket, and those shadowy spots were significantly larger than elsewhere.

Half a month later, having successfully completed the mission, Wang Xuanba returned to the Holy Capital.

In the Holy Emperor's seat, several disciples of Li Ping were already waiting in advance.

Wang Xuanba was somewhat surprised; these senior brothers and sisters rarely had the opportunity to meet as they each practiced according to Master's teachings and seldom crossed paths. Some he hadn't even seen; he only heard that Master had taken in such disciples. Unexpectedly, they were all gathered today.

"It seems Master is finally making a major move," Wang Xuanba became somewhat excited.

Striding to the Holy Emperor, Wang Xuanba knelt down, reporting on the progress of the mission.

The faceless Holy Emperor waved his hand, helping Wang Xuanba to his feet.

"Well done."

Rarely hearing words of praise from the Holy Emperor, Wang Xuanba couldn't help but lift his head.

"Having pinned down sixteen groups of Dao Yi Worms, the Geothermal Ancient Tree is now doomed. Which one of you will assist me in subduing this tree?" Li Ping asked indifferently.

All six disciples, three males and three females, spoke loudly together, "Disciples are willing to share Master's burden!"

Li Ping looked at these disciples who genuinely spoke from the heart, nodding with satisfaction.

Six disciples, three males, and three females.

They were Sun Erlang, Su Yuqing, Wang Xuanba, Lin Ling, Ou Shangtian, and Dao Tong Liuli.

The first five had been Li Ping's disciples for quite some time, and they were carefully trained. Dao Tong Liuli was an impromptu decision made by Li Ping after discovering the mysterious nature of the Cat Treasure.

Li Ping himself harbors no ill intentions; he merely intends to cultivate in the future. He plans to utilize the unique connection between Luli and the fishing pond to seek more treasures. Li Ping's intentions are sincere, and he straightforwardly confesses them. Dao disciple Luli is also highly sensitive to people's emotions. After sensing Li Ping's sincerity, she gradually accepts and becomes accustomed to the presence of this master.

Furthermore, Zhong Shentong consistently urges her to strictly follow the Holy Emperor's commands. Coupled with occasional guidance from Daoist Baihua, this young Dao disciple's progress turns out to be the fastest among all disciples.

As a side note, since arriving at the Holy Dynasty, Zhong Shentong has fully embraced his beloved laid-back lifestyle. The continuously increasing spiritual energy concentration in the Holy Dynasty allows him to live carefree for decades, even if he doesn't break through his current realm. He has decided to completely give up on cultivation.

With the Holy Emperor's permission, he spends each day gracefully casting his fishing rod into the pond, truly living a life that makes others envious.

Shifting the perspective back to the Holy Emperor's throne, facing the Holy Emperor's tasks, all disciples are eager to try.

Li Ping has already made a decision in his heart.

"Lin Ling, accompany Xuan Ba on a journey. If the ancient tree understands the situation, that's fine; if it proves stubborn..."

Li Ping smiles, "You can take my place."

As the incarnation of the spiritual wood in the spiritual wood realm, since being awakened by Li Ping in this life, Lin Ling has been conquering other small worlds for the Holy Dynasty. With an aura that doesn't conceal the essence of killing, Lin Ling has become the most awe-inspiring among Li Ping's six disciples.

Li Ping entrusts the task to her, and others have no objections.

The faceless Holy Emperor hands over a wheel-shaped treasure to Lin Ling in mid-air, "With this wheel, you can freely control a Dao insect. Once the insect penetrates its core, the ancient tree's resistance should be minimal. However, beware of it making desperate moves..."

After a few simple instructions, Li Ping watches as Lin Ling and Wang Xuan Ba leave the Holy Emperor's throne.

The hall falls silent for a moment.

Taking a bold step, Oushang Tian asks, "Master, about the matter you mentioned earlier for me to handle..."

Li Ping smiles faintly, "It's coming soon. Just be prepared."

The remaining three disciples also cast their gazes.

As Li Ping's senior disciple, Sun Erlang has long assisted in managing the affairs of the Holy Dynasty. Knowing that his master has been planning for a long time, the sudden challenge is definitely not just about one thing.

"Erlang," as expected, Li Ping speaks.

"Disciple is here."

"You, on behalf of me, go to the Five Elders' Assembly."

Sun Erlang is momentarily stunned.

He had anticipated many possible campaigns to come, but he never expected that his master would send him to the Five Elders' Assembly.

This name is unfamiliar to most people in the Holy Dynasty, and Sun Erlang only learned about it from Yishu before.

"Help me inquire whether they know about the events of the East Pole Celestial Sovereign in the past."

Li Ping projects an image into Sun Erlang's mind.

"East Pole?" Sun Erlang hasn't heard this name before. But bearing the title of Celestial Sovereign, his strength should undoubtedly be in the realm of immortality.

Therefore, after Sun Erlang sees the image in his mind, despite his steadfast nature from "two lifetimes as a person," he can't help but shiver.

Li Ping pays no attention to Sun Erlang's reaction and gives instructions, "The Five Elders' Assembly is different from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. The power of Celestial Sovereign envelops the entire region, ruling through division. When you go, head to the domain of the [True Celestial Sovereign]. As for the other Celestial Sovereigns, avoid provoking them..."

Sun Erlang firmly engraves his master's instructions in his heart.

Like Lin Ling, before leaving, Sun Erlang also receives a rewarded treasure.

"You already possess the Dao Transformation Stone, which is the greatest treasure. Relying on other external objects may lead you astray," Li Ping said, slowly presenting a dazzling crystal-clear stone in front of Sun Erlang.

In Sun Erlang's sea of consciousness, the Dao Transformation Stone suddenly burst forth with an unprecedented blue light, followed by a greedy and restless intent that surged like a flood.

The soul's yearning makes Sun Erlang unable and unwilling to suppress it.

"Another Dao Transformation Stone? And its quality is even better than the one in my sea of consciousness! At least it's of medium grade or higher," Sun Erlang is pleasantly surprised.

After spending a long time wandering in the Holy Dynasty with Tai Yan Sect's Yishu, Sun Erlang understands the preciousness of the Dao Transformation Stone in the world. There are very few left, mostly occupied by other fortunate cultivators, making it difficult for outsiders to obtain. Now, his master can actually present him with a medium-grade stone...

Sun Erlang immediately expresses his gratitude.

The joy in his heart directly dispels the fear that arose from the situation of the East Pole Celestial Sovereign just now.

"Absorb it slowly. The sublimation of the Dao Transformation Stone will promote an overall improvement in your abilities. Of course, if you want to fully unleash the potential of the Dao Transformation Stone, you may need to combine it with other rare items."

Li Ping's stern voice resonates in the hall, "The foundation of the Five Elders' Assembly lies in the ten immortal sects of the past. Though the name has faded, there are countless treasures within. When you go, you may invite Yishu from Tai Yan Sect to accompany you."

"I will follow the master's orders," Sun Erlang nods and steps away.

Among the disciples, Li Ping has a special affection for Sun Erlang. This appointment is not only because he wants to leverage his strength but also because Li Ping vaguely senses the reason behind Sun Erlang's opportunities. This intuition is mysterious, not derived from deductive reasoning based on sufficient known information. It is more like the whimsical guidance that cultivators experience when they are about to break through.

Dao disciple Luli sees that several senior brothers and sisters have treasures, and her eyes are full of anticipation, staring straight at Li Ping.

On the other hand, Su Yuqing's reaction is the most indifferent among everyone. Perhaps it is because her unborn child is still inside her.

Su Yuqing recalls the words her master told her before, "The fetus in your belly is the incarnation of the heavenly dao in this small world."

"This world is facing imminent destruction, and it seeks a glimmer of hope through your body. However, even if you have the heavenly dao in your small world, you are still an ordinary mortal with a frail body. Even if you are lucky enough to successfully give birth to this child, she will be difficult to raise, and you will die."

"Unless you cultivate with me..."

Since that day, Su Yuqing has followed to the Holy Dynasty.

As her realm gradually increases, the weakness of her original body slowly disappears. The fetus in her belly also sleeps more peacefully.

However, her master said that the stronger her strength during childbirth, the higher her daughter's achievements will be in the future. As a mother, Su Yuqing is steadfastly dedicated to pursuing a higher cultivation realm, ranking first among the six disciples in this regard.

She doesn't have any particular deep attachment to military exploits and conquest.

Li Ping's thoughts lock onto the two individuals in the hall who haven't received specific arrangements, and he remains silent for a long time.

This makes Dao disciple Luli sense something, and her heart panics. She directly lowers her head, retracting the gaze full of expectations.

"You two, with compatible characters, staying together will be mutually beneficial. Due to the special constitution, it's not suitable to be exposed to too much killing intent..."

"I've recently opened up a special small world. Both of you can come inside to help."

Hearing this, Dao disciple Luli immediately wears a troubled expression.

Perhaps because she was raised by Zhong Shentong, her nature is quite similar to Zhong Shentong's. Unless compelled by external force, she tends to be quite lax. Since Li Ping has accepted her as a disciple, he naturally wants to change this bad habit.

After Oushang Tian left, Luli and Su Yuqing followed Li Ping to the newly opened small world.

"Master, it's too dark here. Luli is a bit scared," Luli intentionally spoke unclearly, sounding pitiful.

This was not Luli deliberately trying to act pitiful but because this world was indeed different from ordinary small worlds; it had no trace of light. This world was specially created by Li Ping, Tianyang, and Xuke together, specifically for the Yozu people.

"Yuqing, besides the darkness, have you sensed anything else different here?" Li Ping asked, ignoring Luli's feigned helplessness.

Absolute darkness, silent and tranquil, reduced the activity of the fetus in Su Yuqing's abdomen, as if it was being hypnotized, gradually falling into a deep sleep.

Feeling the emotions transmitted by her daughter, Su Yuqing frowned and replied after a while, "The small world's heavenly dao here... is it incomplete? Or perhaps, it doesn't exist at all?"

"Only an immense space seems to be present. In my disciple's opinion, this place is not enough to be called a world."

Su Yuqing indeed had extraordinary talent, and in just a moment, she sensed the abnormality of this place.

Li Ping smiled, "You got half of it right. Initially, this place did have a consciousness of the small world's heavenly dao, though extremely weak."

Hearing this, Su Yuqing was about to ask where the heavenly dao consciousness of this world had gone.

Suddenly, a golden cube appeared in front of her, illuminating the entire dark small world with dazzling light.

Sensing a somewhat familiar aura within the cube, Su Yuqing instinctively felt an uncontrollable fear.

The fetus in her abdomen was even more frightened, restless.

Because within this golden cube was sealed the same world's heavenly dao consciousness as hers!

"They all have gifts, and naturally, you won't be left out," Li Ping could naturally feel Su Yuqing's fear.

"Here, under my absolute control, there is no need for the existence of the world's heavenly dao consciousness, so I stripped it away and sealed it."

"Now, I'm giving it to you," Li Ping said calmly.
