In the vast sea of information within the Tianxuan Mirror, when Lingshao suddenly updated a dozen works, it didn't attract much attention, except from his die-hard fans.
In this extremely small circle, consisting of only a dozen or so people, the following conversation took place:
"Friends, look at what I've found. 'Fairy Qiong Bai,' 'My Amazing Journey with Third Junior Brother,' 'Love Lock'..."
"Huh? The author's name is actually Lingshao? Could it be someone using his pen name to create forgeries?"
"Let me see... Hiss, the writing style, the skill, and the familiar immersive feeling..."
"And the illustrations in each chapter are both vivid and spiritual."
"Most importantly, the unrestrained coupling of the protagonist with various objects!"
"People, immortals, objects, and beasts... these are undoubtedly the authentic works of Lingshao!"
"I've read every work of Lingshao countless times. After my assessment, these are definitely Lingshao's genuine works!"
"I didn't expect that, in my lifetime, I would still be able to see new works from Lingshao. Haha! Even if I break through and die tomorrow, I will have no regrets!"
"All of a sudden, so many works popped up... If it's as expected, they should have been found together in some ancient cave or ruin. Lingshao was indeed prolific back in the day. Ah, who knows how many works got lost in the river of history."
"This fellow here, so generous. He has openly shared so many works for free. If it were someone else, they would definitely sell these rare books at exorbitant prices!"
"Jingxuan, Guangwu, what are you two muttering about so mysteriously? Do you want to have a fight?"
"Hehe, he's getting anxious, he's getting anxious!"
"Alright, Jingxuan, Guangwu, with so many rare and precious books, you two can't cover it up. Well... regardless, this generous person has given us a feast for the eyes, and we should express our gratitude. I'll take care of this matter."
"Let me see, Congyunhai, Li Fan. This place is a bit remote."
"Hmm? Just at the foundation building level? It doesn't matter, we've gathered here only because of our shared interests."
...
So, on Wanxian Island, in the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan, who had just uploaded Lingshao's posthumous works without paying much attention, suddenly received a friend request.
"Tianyunzhou, Oracle Child? Who's this?" Li Fan felt a bit puzzled.
"No display of realm information; cultivation should be above the Golden Core stage."
After a moment's thought, Li Fan accepted the friend request.
A middle-aged man with a refined appearance, dressed in snowy white clothes, appeared in front of Li Fan.
Oracle Child smiled and explained the ins and outs of the situation to Li Fan, expressing gratitude for his selfless sharing.
Li Fan didn't expect that, thousands of years after Lingshao's death, there were still loyal fans of his work.
Perhaps for an author, this was the best reward.
If Lingshao were aware of this after his death, it would have been enough to console him.
Li Fan didn't boast but expressed his gratitude modestly.
Oracle Child nodded and didn't say much else.
He just told Li Fan to contact him if he encountered any trouble.
Li Fan agreed immediately.
After ending the communication, Li Fan searched for information on "Tianyunzhou, Oracle Child" in the Tianxuan Mirror.
He didn't find relevant information about Oracle Child.
There was plenty about Tianyunzhou, though.
This state was located in the middle-western part of the Xuanhuang Realm, seemingly quite far from Congyunhai.
Within the state, the most famous wonder was a shadow screen.
The shadow screen had a history of thousands of years and seemed to have existed even before the great calamity.
Every midsummer, the light on the shadow screen would shine, revealing a scene of "Mortal Transcending to God."
The spectacle of mortals transcending to gods was said to have really occurred thousands of years ago.
It was during an era when the unity of heaven and man, the Dao and nature, was emphasized.
At that time, a mortal achieved enlightenment during the daytime.
Mortal Transcending to God, ascending to the heavens in one step.
This extremely rare scene, both in ancient and modern times, happened to be recorded by this shadow screen.
In the countless years that followed, the phenomenon continued to reappear.
Just like in the past, when this extraordinary scene occurred, it would also resonate with the laws of heaven and earth, giving rise to countless astonishing phenomena.
Under the phenomenon of Mortals Transcending to Gods, almost every cultivator below the level of Nascent Divinity could gain insights.
Therefore, many cultivators from other states would travel to Tianyunzhou, drawn by the fame, in search of opportunities.
"Mortals Transcending to Gods... If I encounter a bottleneck in the future, I might as well go and witness it."
In today's cultivation world, due to the existence of the White Mist Barrier, most cultivators spent the majority of their lives confined to a single state. Establishing connections with cultivators from other states was exceptionally rare.
This time, thanks to Ling Shao's blessing, being able to connect with a cultivator from distant Tianyunzhou was indeed an unexpected joy.
However, this might only become useful in the future.
At the moment, Li Fan continued the train of thought that was interrupted earlier.
He resumed contemplating the solution to the eternal conundrum of "Eternal Remembrance."
The method was actually quite clear now.
Before the Immortal Ascension Edict arrived, become the strongest in the Dao of Body Refinement and replace Senior Brother Sī Xīng in participating in the war.
However, this seemed like an impossible task.
It should be noted that from the start of the simulated world's plot to the arrival of the Immortal Ascension Edict, only a little over six years had passed.
Wanting a mortal with the inherent weakness of a congenital body to defeat a powerful ancient cultivator at the late Golden Core stage in such a short time...
That was indeed extremely difficult.
At least, considering Tianyang's innate aptitude, there was almost no hope of success.
In this world, Tianyang's "Eternal Remembrance" had only one usage left.
Before having a certain degree of certainty, Li Fan wouldn't rashly attempt it.
"However, there's no need to put too much emphasis on it. If there's a chance to surpass the Golden Core in strength before those seven individuals intrude into the Dao of Body Refinement, it's worth trying. Let's see what happens next."
Regarding how to quickly enhance actual combat power, Li Fan already had some ideas at this point.
After a brief search, over a hundred pieces of information about "Human Body Secrets" appeared in Li Fan's mind.
Many of them required payment to unlock.
This contribution point requirement was just a drop in the ocean for Li Fan.
He checked the reliable ones one by one.
"An Alternative Possibility Beyond the Immortal Path—Exploring the Possibility of Developing Human Body Secrets"
"A Discussion on the Possible Connection Between Ancient Body Cultivation and Human Body Secrets"
"Rebirth through Blood, Infinite Vitality"
...
The human body harbors boundless potential.
This fact was not known only to Tianyi.
In the long development of the Xuanhuang Realm, many sects dedicated to the study of Human Body Secrets emerged.
After the establishment of the Wanxian Alliance and the availability of the Tianxuan Mirror, a supreme spiritual treasure that facilitated high-level information sharing, research on the utilization of Human Body Secrets became even more abundant.
Unfortunately, for now, the practical effects were limited.
Even in the face of the current backlash of the Heavenly Dao and the numerous hardships on the cultivation path, it was more practical than developing Human Body Secrets.
