Chapter 1018 Has Stepped on the Dusty Peak
The fusion of identical objects has been experienced by Li Fan in the past.
For example, fusion stones, remaining stone steles, and so on.
But it is obvious that the effect of their fusion is far less than that of the disintegration disc.
"Perhaps it is because the disintegration disc is already at the pinnacle of the mortal world's array. Although it did not ascend after consuming another self, it has achieved a certain qualitative change."
"There are still many existences like the disintegration disc, just one step away from ascending. But because the immortal path is cut off, they are almost permanently stuck. After all, large actions like the 115th generation's Tianxuan Mirror, which launched all the cultivators of the Immortal Clan to explore the countless small worlds and achieve the ascension of the original body, is not something that just anyone can do."
"But by using the True Return, achieving the 'fusion of two' can easily cross this barrier."
"This is perhaps the simplest method in the world today to mass-produce power close to that of an immortal."
Many items and their possible manifestations after self-fusion suddenly appeared in Li Fan's mind.
Yanfa Jade, Wood Sword, and even the Creation Stone Tablet, and so on.
As for items that have been fused once, whether they can continue to be strengthened through self-fusion...
it still needs further verification.
But Li Fan guessed that it should probably not work.
"The key lies in the cut-off of the immortal path and the lack of immortal spirit."
"Without its foundation, more quantity is useless."
As his thoughts slowly converged, Li Fan made adjustments to the protective array of the Spirit Wood Realm after coming out of seclusion.
The time spent on this improvement was even longer than the time Li Fan spent initially building the array. It was almost like building it from scratch.
However, the entire process was carried out silently. It did not alarm any living beings in the Spirit Wood Realm.
Only after the formation of the array, the slight changes in the atmosphere over the Spirit Wood Realm made several cultivators like Baihuadaoren, who were above the Realm of Reconciliation, feel something.
Standing in the sky, Li Fan closed his eyes tightly.
Even without relying on divine knowledge and observing with his naked eyes, the entire miniature scene of the Spirit Wood Realm appeared in Li Fan's mind in great detail.
Even every living being in the Spirit Wood Realm could not escape his perception.
With the power of the new protective array, Li Fan could instantly kill the living beings inside the array without having to do it himself.
"The difference between immortality and mortality is truly like an insurmountable chasm."
"I see the living beings in the Spirit Wood Realm like ants, just as immortals should see me."
"If it weren't for the True Return."
Li Fan sighed softly.
The newly established protective array of the Spirit Wood Realm was still far from its limit in theory. But it was hindered by the special materials that only existed in the immortal world and the lack of immortal spirit. In fact, there was not much room for further advancement in the current state of the formation.
After completing the trial of the power of the Disintegration Disc, Li Fan returned to seclusion to summarize the analysis of the final disintegration of the Ten Thousand Spirits. He also supervised the analysis of the restrictions of the Supreme Medical Saint.
Although the final disintegration disc was powerful, it could not function without Li Fan's guidance.
It could easily derive strange directions on its own.
The path of formation is boundless, and Li Fan was immersed in it, unaware of the passage of time.
One day, Li Fan suddenly felt something in his heart and woke up from his research.
"Fifteen years have been anchored, and the Medicine King's Cauldron has returned."
It's about time.
Li Fan's eyes flickered, he stopped his work and instantly left the Spirit Wood Realm.
He arrived at the Abyss of Cangwu, patiently waiting for the Medicine King's Cauldron to return to its predetermined landing spot.
Looking down into the abyss, Li Fan's expression became solemn.
With his current strength, he naturally had the ability to go down.
But every time this thought came to mind, there was an underlying sense of unease. Then Li Fan suppressed it.
Sensing the intrusion of the distracting thoughts that were dispelled by the Xuanhuang Divine Heart Mantra, Li Fan's eyes deepened. "The inexplicable attraction is not just an illusion."
"If I'm not mistaken, the Abyss of Cangwu is also a remnant of other cultivation worlds, just like the Sea of Conclouds, and perhaps even more than that. Perhaps it has something to do with the depths of the White Mist."
Li Fan looked around at the floating ruins and pondered slowly.
There was no Abyss of Cangwu in the ancient times. It was created by a single step, just like the Sea of Conclouds was created by a single palm strike.
Obviously, the Xuanhuang Realm was assisted by passing on knowledge in the process of assimilating and devouring other immortal worlds.
It can be inferred from this alone that the Xuanhuang Realm itself is unable to digest these on its own and needs the assistance of passing on knowledge.
Although the Abyss of Cangwu undoubtedly contains many secrets, Li Fan did not have any plans to investigate further at the moment.
He was simply waiting patiently for the return of the Medicine King's Cauldron.
As per his memory, a meteor of fire lit up the night sky at midnight and vanished into the night, heading straight for the Abyss of Cangwu.
When it reached the location where Li Fan was, the Medicine King's Cauldron stopped in mid-air and concealed its presence.
"Hmm?"
However, as Li Fan watched the landing point of the Medicine King's Cauldron, his expression became somewhat subtle.
After repeatedly comparing the scene with his memory, Li Fan confirmed that in this world, the final landing position of the Medicine King's Cauldron was slightly different from what he remembered.
There was only a three-inch deviation, which he almost overlooked if it weren't for Li Fan's keen perception and the meticulous recording of all details by the fusion stone.
"Could it have been influenced by an unknown force during the return process? Or... has the 'position' and 'size' of the Xuanhuang Realm itself changed?"
An inexplicable unease rose in Li Fan's heart.
After reviewing all the events that had occurred in this world, Li Fan selected a few targets that could have caused this deviation but could not confirm them yet.
He just kept them in mind and then used a small Medicine King's Cauldron to enter the true cauldron.
To gain control of the Medicine King's Cauldron, one must enter the control room.
Li Fan was prepared for this.
With a slight movement in his heart, a strand of Lifespan Green Power differentiated from within him and was infused into the "Life and Death Door" outside the control room.
Before the Medicine King's Cauldron returned, Li Fan had already practiced the Life-Preserving and Longevity Scripture. Although it had been dispelled by now, he had stored several lifespans of Green Power as backup in his cave.
The Life-Preserving and Longevity Scripture can only be practiced by the true disciple of the Medicine King's sect. Having been verified, Li Fan was able to successfully enter the control room.
It was like a void.
Other than a faint figure, there was nothing else in the control room.
That figure should be the former sect master of the Medicine King's sect, Liu Ruchen, who had passed away.
At this moment, his face was no longer visible; he just looked at Li Fan, confirming his identity as a true disciple of the Medicine King's lineage.
Scenes began to float in the void.
It was the Medicine King's sect flying out of the Xuanhuang Realm and almost being captured by the Immortal Burial Grounds.
Then Liu Ruchen sacrificed himself and the lives of several elders, barely managing to save the Medicine King's Cauldron.
