CHAPTER 1950: CHAPTER 1532: THE INTACT NINE-STAR PEARL (PART 2)

Every time Li Fan moved, there was a myriad of radiance surging forth from him.

Unknown to anyone, subtle changes were occurring in the Taiyuan Realm.

When a cultivator’s soul scattered, the Immortal Array would automatically capture their living being data and record it within the Nine-Star Red Beads. With these data, recreating them was not difficult.

Of course, since it’s not based on the original template data, the data captured by the Nine-Star Red Beads would inevitably have some discrepancies compared to the cultivator’s actual living being data.

After being "resurrected," Xuanhuang Cultivators would exhibit slight deviations from their original selves. Rather than resurrection, it’s more akin to reincarnation.

But even so, it’s likely to satisfy the Xuanhuang Cultivators.

After several days of meticulous modification, Li Fan finally completed the initial transformation of the Taiyuan Realm’s Immortal Array.

In the process, he also utilized the Dao contained within the Immortal Array to achieve a certain degree of alignment between the past and future Tao of two time continuums.

The boundaries of the Immortal Law that seemed to be shrouded in frosted glass became clear again.

Li Fan could almost feel the Infinite Sea beyond the mortal world once more.

After all, a True Immortal cannot be suppressed.

Despite the oppression and resistance from the Xuanhuang World, given an opportunity, Li Fan could rise again in an instant.

"Xuanhuang Heaven Path, I’ll deal with you when I return."

"First, I’ll bring my meticulously prepared grand show to a perfect ending here."

Li Fan leisurely toyed with an almost tangible furnace shadow in his hand.

Now, if he wished, he could return to the Infinite Sea at any time and ascend the mountain above.

Return to the True Immortal Realm.

However, the severe consequences brought by the fusion of three Daos made Li Fan still uneasy.

Hai Zhen had fallen into silence, and venturing alone into the Infinite Sea would surely entail great unknown risks.

"My cultivation is already sufficient to roam within the high wall. Even if a Hungry Immortal awakens, I can still retreat calmly."

"Becoming an Immortal is not really important to me."

"The most crucial is the enlightenment on True and False Changes."

If everything in the past ten thousand years went smoothly. The impact of Hai Zhen’s descent into silence was the only setback Li Fan encountered.

The previous enlightenment on True and False Changes did not restore as expected.

Compared to half a year ago in the Xuanhuang World, there was indeed significant improvement. But Li Fan felt a premonition that to return to the level before the reverse of the fusion of three Daos would be a very challenging journey ahead.

"Originally, my understanding of True and False Changes was purely my own enlightenment. But in reality, it was based on having Hai Zhen as a foundation, which allowed me to easily grasp True and False Changes that others couldn’t perceive."

"Now that Hai Zhen has fallen silent, I have almost lost the foundation I could rely on."

"To return to the original height, I will have to retrace my steps slowly."

"Though it will take longer, this time..."

A sharp light flashed in Li Fan’s eyes: "What is mine is mine. Even if faced with amnesia again, no one can take it from me!"

Realizing this point, Li Fan no longer felt impatient.

The act of reversing through ten thousand years was a desperate survival tactic. For Li Fan, it made little difference in which time or space he resided.

As for the catastrophe that eroded the entire Mountain and Sea World in front of the Path-obliterating Calamity...

It was not something the current Li Fan could consider.

Reversing time to the same period in the past was already difficult. Li Fan could almost imagine the danger of traversing through the Realm of Eternal Silence to another completely separated time and space.

"Having so many Dao discrepancies in the upstream and downstream of the same river, the different time continuums severed by the Path-obliterating Calamity are almost equivalent to two different rivers."

"It’s foreseeable that if I recklessly reverse, I will surely encounter the ’loss of cultivation and divine power’ event."

"By that time, in a completely unfamiliar time and space, it wouldn’t be easy to recover."

Thus, Li Fan barely understood what Lord Guardian Hill meant by the extremely difficult path.

Perhaps, a long time later, Li Fan would have to join forces with the most powerful figures from different periods in the river of history to resist the terrifying and formidable Path-obliterating Calamity for his own safety.

But as of now...

Since they could still endure, let them keep holding on for a while.

"I should take care of my safety first," Li Fan mocked himself.

...

With Li Fan manipulating matters behind the scenes, the battlefield dynamics in the Taiyuan Realm appeared more intense.

Even if the Taiyuan Realm pushed the efficiency of resurrecting cultivators to the maximum.

Even though Fang Dinge had convinced the cultivators of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals to join the battlefield, despite their realm being below Nascent Soul but exhibiting strong combat power.

Both sides maintained a balanced state.

It seemed like a bottomless mire; once stepping in, there was no escape.

The small piece of Land of Taiyuan had become a terrifying battlefield devouring lives endlessly.

Both sides were helpless, forced to continue investing.

In this chaotic world, heroes emerge; on this battlefield, a few exceptionally shining new stars rose unstoppably.

Among them, the one Li Fan played, Li Ping, was one.

Over half a year, he participated in over 230 battles, killing dozens of enemies each time.

After every battle, he would gain enlightenment.

Xuanhuang Cultivators secretly called him a born killing machine, a crusading saint body.

He had risen from the initial Golden Core Realm he was in when he entered the battlefield to the God Transformation Stage.

The speed of his progress was truly astonishing.

However, in the Immortal Cultivation World, there are always once-in-a-lifetime realization stories and ancient tales of daylight ascension. From Gold Core to God Transformation in half a year is indeed fast, but not entirely unthinkable.

Especially since this progress was built upon endless slaughter.

Moreover, another cultivator next to Li Fan’s progress was even more eye-catching.

It naturally attracted most of the attention away from Li Fan.

It was, of course, Cao Yingyue, who had received Li Fan’s [Supreme Taoist Scripture] inheritance.

Perhaps the death of her beloved Brother Duan made her not bother with hiding her progress, completely showcasing it openly to the world.

In less than three months, she completed the persuasion of the Law Transmission and advanced from God Transformation to Unity-Path in just under three months.

In the following two months, she progressed without apparent bottlenecks, advancing through slaughter.

She has now achieved complete Unity-Path.

The entire Ten Sects, many are curious about the reason behind Cao Yingyue’s rapid progress in cultivation. However, given the intense battle and the life-and-death concern for the Xuanhuang World’s future, even if they had their desires, they wouldn’t dare to make a move at this time. Moreover, Cao Yingyue was a core disciple of the Ten Sects.

Without the decree of the Supreme Sect Leader, no one else dared to intervene.

Others were helpless as the Supreme Sect Leader’s words "Supreme Taoist Scripture is not to be ever taught" put them off.

Li Fan, however, knew.

He had to admit that Cao Yingyue was a smart individual. After obtaining the inheritance of the Supreme Taoist Scripture, and realizing its efficacy, she promptly returned to the Xuanhuang World.

The fact is, the Supreme Sect Leader did not speak falsely.

The Supreme Sect Leader, when faced with the Tao Starry Sky woven by Li Fan, even though momentarily lost in thought, surprisingly did not claim it for himself.

"You obtained this item by your destiny. Keep it well." He only lightly instructed and sent the bewildered Cao Yingyue away.

This makes it possible for the future.

The true strongman must pave a path unique to himself. What others teach or give are not true "enlightenment."
