Chapter 1914: Chapter 1513:

“Since Master is able to leisurely traverse the Mountain Sea, I certainly can do it as well.”

“It’s not that simple…” Li Fan slightly opened his mouth, intending to refute.

But upon reflection, it indeed seems to be the case. Moreover, this thought aligns with the concept of ‘Bearing the Dao.’

Li Fan showed a contemplative expression.

“Perhaps, I thought it wrong.”

“No need to be so entangled.”

“Unable to determine whether Hai Zhen is my way of traversing, then just set it aside for now. Perhaps, I have indeed relied too much on Him.”

“From today onwards, I shall act as if I have no Exotic Treasure and seek my own path of traversal until the day I reach the Realm of Transcendence.”

“If successful, naturally well and good, if I fail…”

“Hai Zhen might cover for me.” As this thought arose, Li Fan ruthlessly crushed it.

“If one harbors such thoughts, it should be difficult to forge one’s own path of traversal. Having decided, one must burn one’s boats.” Li Fan considered his own ‘Endless Samsara’ function, and a preliminary idea formed in his mind.

However, this lifetime is not suitable for experiments.

Wait until the next life to create the most conducive environment for enlightenment, and then attempt.

His slight bewilderment gradually settled.

Li Fan bowed toward Bearing the Dao: “Thank you, Senior Brother, for your guidance.”

Bearing the Dao waved his hand: “It’s something you enlightened yourself to, nothing to do with me.”

After the brief interlude, the two returned their focus to the Pearl of Echoed Visions.

“Senior Brother, I have an idea that might resolve its hidden dangers,” Li Fan spoke out.

“Oh?” Bearing the Dao was immensely surprised.

“The reason this Pearl of Echoed Visions went out of control is because the man from Guangwu Star Sea had prepared for a Jade Burning when releasing this treasure. The divine powers recorded within had already been triggered. However, he did not expect there to be such a strong individual who could easily suppress all these triggered divine powers alone.”

“When Senior Zi Yi acted, he suppressed all the erupting divine powers within the Pearl. But now that Senior Zi Yi has left, his suppressive strength can’t last forever.” Li Fan elaborated eloquently.

“Naturally, I understand this logic.” Bearing the Dao slowly nodded.

“So the key point lies in the divine powers recorded within this Treasure Bead. Is Senior Brother unwilling to part with this treasure?” Li Fan suddenly asked.

Bearing the Dao smiled: “Junior Brother, what is this talk? Though this item is extraordinary…”

“How can it compare with the path of traversing the Mountain Sea? Even with a thousand spells and infinite Tao… can it traverse the Mountain Sea?”

“Ultimately it’s still within the Dao Yan.” Bearing the Dao clearly had his own level-headed judgment.

Li Fan smiled and said: “Then it’s simple. Obstructing causes backlash; instead of forcibly suppressing, it might be better to release the divine powers recorded inside the Bead. Of course, gradually.”

Bearing the Dao stroke his beard and pondered for a moment, then frowned: “But, the divine powers and spells recorded within the Pearl of Echoed Visions are too many. Even if released to the maximum extent without affecting the surrounding starry sky, it’s hard to relieve all pressure before the Pearl eventually erupts.”

Li Fan did not reply directly, but instead pointed to the High Wall – Sea of the Northern Stars shrouded in boundless darkness and devoid of vitality.

“Senior Brother, do you find this starry sky somewhat desolate? How does it compare to the glory of the past Immortal World?”

“It’s far inferior, of course.” Bearing the Dao, being a smart person, quickly caught on.

He unexpectedly asked: “Junior Brother, do you intend to share the divine powers and spells within this Taoist Chronicle Pearl with the Star Sea creatures?”

“Precisely!” Li Fan clapped his hands, laughing.

“Although the Star Sea is in decline now, given adequate time and the right environment, their numbers can infinitely rise. Digesting this Pearl of Echoed Visions would be a breeze.”

“Furthermore, the divine powers recorded within could serve as the key to opening their path of cultivation. With a sufficient baseline, perhaps we can even create a few Nameless Immortals.”

Bearing the Dao fixed his gaze on the Pearl of Echoed Visions, clearly moved: “This Supreme Treasure contains many possible Tao paths. If absorbed by this starry sky below, it might fill its gaps.”

“Moreover, you and I, brothers, could exploit the eyes of the multitude of Star Sea creatures to view all the divine powers within the Pearl of Echoed Visions. Truly killing two birds with one stone.” Li Fan smilingly concurred.

…

The two calculated carefully, and before long, had decided on this ‘Return Dao’ plan benefiting the creatures of the Star Sea.

The critical factor for the plan’s success is a sufficient number of living beings.

For Li Fan and Bearing the Dao, this was not a difficult task.

Under the Dao Network, the desire for reproduction among living beings, the probability of conception, the chance of survival, and the rate of growth all increased several times.

Within the High Wall, Xuanhuang World, and the Primordial Immortal Realm, it’s all decided by Li Fan’s words.

With an endless supply of energy from the Infinite Sea, no matter how many living beings there are, there’s no concern of resource scarcity.

The overall number of living beings within the High Wall – Sea of the Northern Stars surged ahead.

Sixty years passed, and when the total number of living beings within the Abyss Star Ocean multiplied by nearly ten thousand times.

Only then did Li Fan and Bearing the Dao slightly slow down.

The ‘Return Dao’ plan was not only initiated at this time, but had begun gradually during these sixty years.

Every time a living being was born, Li Fan and Bearing the Dao would oversee and manipulate it, extracting a random trace of divine power from the Pearl of Echoed Visions to merge with the new life.

Under the protection of these two powerful individuals, the divine power fluctuations would not harm the fragile new life, but would become akin to an innate divine ability.

Firmly engraved in their Divine Souls, and as they grow, it serves as a guiding light in their path.

Of course, the divine powers and spells recorded in the Taoist Chronicles vary in quality, and the innate divine ability each living being receives in terms of power also varies, which is inevitable.

However, for Li Fan and Bearing the Dao, regardless of which divine power recorded in the Treasure Bead falls into whose hands, it makes little difference.

Every move of the living beings participating in the ‘Return Dao’ plan is under the control of Li Fan and Bearing the Dao.

Bearing the Dao is not very familiar with this aspect.

Fortunately, Li Fan has abundant experience from the Xuanhuang World, making him adept at this task.

With the support of the Immortal Array, even if large numbers of living beings are involved, there’s no sign of losing control.

“I did not expect that Junior Brother has such profound understanding in the way of Array Techniques.” Bearing the Dao stroked his beard and praised.

“Just a minor path. In the past cultivation road, it was merely a detour.” Li Fan gently shook his head.

“Junior Brother, no need to be modest. Who’s to say that the way of Array Techniques cannot traverse the Mountain Sea?” Bearing the Dao was very serious.
