Chapter 1403: Attaining Half-Immortal through Dao Integration
Chapter 1403: Attaining Half-Immortal through Dao Integration
The fall of the brush stirred wind and rain; the formation of the character settled the heavens and the earth!
Copying it meticulously, Li Fan successfully inscribed the complete seal character for the Transformation of Immortal and Mortal, which had manifested on the Nameless True Immortal's leg bone, onto the Keystone of the Dao.
In that instant, from the vortex in the sky above, an ineffable presence seemed to descend.
Amidst the upheaval, the Xuanhuang Realm, and indeed all of existence, seemed to be forced into a state of absolute stillness.
Even Li Fan, who was orchestrating the Xuanhuang Realm's ascension, was no exception.
Myriad bolts of lightning flashed across the firmament of the Xuanhuang Realm in the same moment.
With each thunderous crackle, the realm trembled as if struck by a colossal hammer.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Essence-Devouring White Mist that served as the boundary lines between provinces grew thinner with each strike, eventually dissipating completely.
The distance between heaven and earth also drew closer with every blow.
What was even more terrifying was that each flash of lightning was accompanied by the annihilation of a region within the Xuanhuang Realm. It was as if these areas, unable to withstand the tremendous pressure of ascending to an Immortal Realm, were simply pulverized into dust.
The voids left by the annihilated regions were swiftly filled as other areas were compressed to take their place.
...
Changes that would normally take a world hundreds of millions of years to accumulate were now unfolding in an instant. The Xuanhuang Realm was being forged in thunder and fire, its impurities burned away to refine its essence.
As the aura flowing through heaven and earth grew increasingly sacred, the overall size of the Xuanhuang Realm was progressively reduced.
Although Li Fan's body was immobilized by the magnificent power of the world's ascension, his mind remained sharp and active.
He stared intently at the vortex in the sky, from which he could indeed sense the primitive, ancient aura of the Great Dao of the Transformation of Immortal and Mortal.
Compared to the character itself, the Dao was far more incomprehensible, inspiring a primal sense of awe.
It was under the influence of this Dao's aura that the Xuanhuang Realm was able to break through the threshold of ascension, earning the right to continue its climb toward becoming an Immortal Realm.
For a cultivator to transform from mortal to immortal was a feat as difficult as ascending to the heavens. How much more so for an entire world?
Even with the aid of Li Fan's numerous preparations and its own immense accumulation of resources, the formal process of ascension was fraught with peril. The Xuanhuang Realm was like a small fishing boat tossed about in a raging storm, in constant danger of capsizing.
From the vortex, thousands of lightning bolts struck like hammers, relentless and unending.
The bloated body of the Xuanhuang Realm was shaved away, inch by inch.
...
"Something's not right."
"The cost of this world's Transformation of Immortal and Mortal is far too exaggerated!"
Li Fan vaguely sensed a discrepancy, and his expression turned incredibly solemn.
"It's just like my own previous experiments..."
In a flash, Li Fan recalled the ancient cultivation world's records of cultivators successfully passing their tribulations and ascending.
"There is no lightning tribulation, nor is there an infusion of immortal spiritual energy to aid the metamorphosis. It relies entirely on its own foundation to endure the transformation. Under normal circumstances, this is simply impossible."
He once again heard the Xuanhuang Realm's terrified cries for help, though it was now extremely weakened by the torment of the ascension tribulation.
For the time being, Li Fan's interests were bound to those of the Xuanhuang Realm. He quickly made his decision.
Drawing upon the realm's remaining power, he temporarily broke free from the suppressive aura of the Great Dao of Transformation and regained his mobility.
With a thought, the Dao-child Autumn Water reverted to its azure sword form. Then, sword lights rained down, scattering to every corner of the Xuanhuang Realm. Using the sword bodies as conduits, they began to draw upon the power of the Infinite Star Sea.
Simultaneously, over a hundred fountains suddenly erupted from the earth of the Xuanhuang Realm, shooting towards the sky. This was Li Fan siphoning the life force from the fissures in the dark star sea and channeling it here.
These two unending streams of power were like two potent life-saving pills, desperately keeping the Xuanhuang Realm from the brink of collapse.
But in the celestial vortex, the lightning flashed with increasing speed. The intervals between flashes became so short that they formed a continuous violet glow, eerily illuminating the Xuanhuang Realm below.
As the distance between heaven and earth diminished, the sky seemed to tilt and press down upon the world.
Of the five celestial pillars, only the central one, formed from the Nameless True Immortal's leg bone, could still stand.
The other four, under the terrifying pressure, crumbled from top to bottom, turning to dust inch by inch.
This created a dome-like shape, high in the center and low on the four sides.
Seeing that the "celestial pillars" evolved by the Xuanhuang Realm itself were insufficient to support the collapsing heavens, Li Fan's eyes narrowed, and his hands formed a series of seals.
The little Tian Beast, slumbering as it was being nourished by immortal spiritual energy, suddenly let out a world-shaking roar.
Its body uncontrollably flipped over.
Then, in an instant, it expanded millions of times, its four legs pointing skyward like celestial pillars, propping up the ever-falling firmament.
The little Tian Beast now bore the immense pressure of the falling sky. Despite its extraordinary constitution and having swallowed several Immortal Realm chess pieces, it was unwilling to be used as a mere consumable.
A dangerous red glint flickered in its eyes as it struggled ceaselessly. It roared and bellowed, seemingly trying to break free from Li Fan's control.
"I call upon the Wooden Sword, a Wonder of Heaven!"
Li Fan's expression was grave as he chanted in a loud, clear voice.
From the ruins of the Heavenly Sword Sect's sword tomb, the wooden sword once revered by ten thousand blades suddenly let out a soft hum.
With a flash of light, it appeared in Li Fan's hand moments later.
This wooden sword was a creation of the former Mr. Bai, a manifestation of the Xuanhuang Realm's Sword Dao.
As the Xuanhuang Realm ascended, this Sword Dao had evolved alongside it.
Now, in Li Fan's grasp, it had already integrated certain supreme, transcendent sword principles.
"Sever!"
The sword moved with his will. In the blink of an eye, the Wooden Sword Heaven's Wonder transformed into a streak of white light, circling the four corners of the Xuanhuang Realm.
ROAR!
Amidst the little Tian Beast's agonized roar, its four limbs fell away from its body.
"Fuse!"
Li Fan manipulated the power of heaven and earth, integrating the Tian Beast's four limbs into the four celestial pillars.
Having absorbed a portion of the Immortal Realm's laws, the endurance of the Tian Beast's limbs was far beyond anything in the mortal cultivation world. The sky continued its descent for some time, only halting when the limbs, under extreme external pressure, fully merged with the Xuanhuang Realm's celestial pillars.
Finally, they managed to hold back the collapsing heavens.
Li Fan breathed a small sigh of relief and looked down at the Wooden Sword Heaven's Wonder in his hand.
While its sharp, indomitable Sword Dao had allowed him to forcibly sever the Tian Beast's limbs, the clash with the Immortal Realm laws contained within those limbs had inflicted unimaginable damage upon the sword.
The wooden sword disintegrated inch by inch, dissolving into motes of fluorescent light that scattered between heaven and earth.
The Dao of the Sword no longer existed within the Xuanhuang Realm.
To wait for it to recover naturally might take millions of years.
With the support of the Tian Beast's four limbs, the Xuanhuang Realm's dire situation improved dramatically.
Although its overall area was still shrinking, at the very least, the distance between heaven and earth would not decrease any further.
However, the fundamental problem remained unsolved.
The world's immortal-mortal evolution was consuming too much energy. Even with the dual infusion of life force from the fissures and power from the star sea, its expenditure still far outstripped its income.
Li Fan also realized that it wasn't that the energy required for the Xuanhuang Realm's ascension surpassed the infinite power of the star sea, but that Autumn Water's efficiency in drawing that energy was too low.
It possessed infinite power but couldn't fully tap into it.
As the thought crossed his mind, Li Fan already had a plan.
Bowing slightly, the crown on his head dipped, hiding his expression. Li Fan's voice echoed through the Xuanhuang Realm: "I call upon the Great Heavenly Venerates of all generations!"
His voice was like a decree, his words law.
Amidst the violent tremors of the immortal-mortal transformation, one after another, shadowy figures appeared between heaven and earth.
And the current Great Heavenly Venerate, Wuming, rose of his own accord, taking the final position in the line.
Starting from Wuming, the further back in time one went, the more indistinct the Great Heavenly Venerates' phantoms became.
First was the phantom of Mr. Bai, his features still vaguely discernible. Before him, however, one could only make out a figure; its face was a complete void.
Before this blank-faced phantom stood a figure whose face was also unclear. Yet, Li Fan recognized it at a glance; that had to be the mark left by the Xuantian King.
Before the Xuantian King, there were four more.
Each was more blurred than the last. The first Great Heavenly Venerate of the Xuanhuang Realm was nothing more than a faint outline.
The eight phantoms all represented former Great Heavenly Venerates of the Xuanhuang Realm. Though they had passed away for various reasons, they had still left their unique imprints upon the world.
The Heavenly Dao Bai had once used Li Fan's holy embryo to reappear in the mortal world.
And now, Li Fan, having gained almost complete control over the Xuanhuang Realm, used its life-and-death crisis to forcibly summon all eight Great Heavenly Venerates at once.
"The Xuanhuang Realm is in peril. I ask for your aid, Great Heavenly Venerates."
With a solemn expression, Li Fan bowed once more to the eight figures.
Then, the Taijia Divine Art activated with a roar.
Seemingly sensing the cataclysmic changes happening in the Xuanhuang Realm, the will of the star sea deliberately evaded him, not responding to Li Fan's call for a time.
Li Fan persisted, simultaneously imparting the Taijia Divine Art to the past Great Heavenly Venerates.
One by one, the eight figures joined the ritual to communicate with the star sea.
All who could become a Great Heavenly Venerate of the Xuanhuang Realm were peerless geniuses of their time. The first Great Heavenly Venerate even possessed the body of a True Immortal.
Even though they were long gone, the imprints they left behind retained some of their original characteristics. With the eight of them performing the ritual together, the Infinite Star Sea, however unwilling, was forced to connect.
"Jun Tian!"
Under Li Fan's direction, the eight figures jointly cast the Jun Tian Divine Art upon the will of the star sea.
An infinite, brilliant starlight instantly illuminated the Xuanhuang Realm.
The stillness forced upon the realm by its ascension was even briefly broken, and motion returned.
"I ask the Great Heavenly Venerates to offer their Dao!"
Li Fan's face was grim as he bowed to each in turn.
First was Wuming.
Without the slightest hesitation, Wuming used his body as a channel, absorbing and receiving the infinite power of the star sea into the Xuanhuang Realm.
Then came the Heavenly Dao Bai.
One by one, the phantoms of the Great Heavenly Venerates flew to different corners of the Xuanhuang Realm, drawing in the infinite power of the star sea.
Until it was the turn of the first Great Heavenly Venerate.
The blurry outline, infused with the power of the Infinite Star Sea, transformed into a radiant blue light. The giant of starlight did not fly directly to its designated position.
Instead, it looked, somewhat inexplicably, at the stone slab Li Fan held aloft.
The phantom of the Great Heavenly Venerate did not stand still for long.
Moments later, it vanished and reappeared beside Li Fan.
It tapped a single finger on the stone slab.
It all happened too fast.
The first Great Heavenly Venerate moved with such swiftness that even Li Fan, empowered by the Xuanhuang Realm, couldn't react in time.
His heart leaped in alarm, and he immediately summoned the [Truth] interface, preparing for any unforeseen events.
But to his surprise, after tapping the stone slab, the first Venerate's phantom made no other moves.
No strange phenomena occurred.
After a standoff of a few breaths, the Great Heavenly Venerate's phantom withdrew its finger. Then, as if some lingering obsession had been satisfied, it went to its designated position.
Li Fan was momentarily stunned, but after a brief thought, he understood. "This isn't the original Keystone of the Dao from the Ascension Platform of old. It's just a replica left by the Xuantian King."
"...Fortunately."
"If it hadn't been, this phantom, which still retains a sliver of the first Great Heavenly Venerate's instinct, might have caused me immense trouble."
Li Fan celebrated inwardly.
Within the Xuanhuang Realm, supported by the four limbs of the Tian Beast and aided by the eight Great Heavenly Venerates channeling a continuous stream of infinite power from the star sea, the once-precarious world finally began to stabilize amidst the extreme turbulence of its immortal-mortal transformation.
In the vortex where the Great Dao manifested, the dense, continuous flashes of purple lightning began to decrease in frequency.
The tremors throughout the Xuanhuang Realm also gradually subsided.
Wielding the power of the Xuanhuang Realm, Li Fan could see clearly, even with his mortal eyes.
The Xuanhuang Realm, which seemed largely unchanged on the surface, was being retraced, stroke by stroke, by an unknown, mystical power. Things themselves, from within and without, appeared the same, yet they became more solid, more vivid. Closer to their origin.
A surge of joy rose in Li Fan's heart.
He knew they had passed the critical stage. Now was the moment of metamorphosis and apotheosis.
"However, now is not the time to celebrate prematurely."
Li Fan stood quietly, continuing to wait for the right moment.
He waited until the vortex in the sky began to shrink, when the evolution of the Great Dao of Transformation of Immortal and Mortal was about to end.
Li Fan moved again. "I ask the Great Heavenly Venerates to mend the heavens!"
His expression was sincere as he conveyed his will.
By channeling the power of the star sea to help the Xuanhuang Realm survive its ordeal, the phantoms of the past Great Heavenly Venerates had also become akin to Star Spirits.
In the past, the Xuanhuang Realm existed within the star sea, so a Great Heavenly Venerate might have been able to serve both.
But now, even if the Xuanhuang Realm ascended to become the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm...
How could the Great Heavenly Venerate of an Immortal Realm be subservient to the star sea?
...
The meaning Li Fan conveyed was crystal clear.
And it was what truly served the interests of the Xuanhuang Realm.
The Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, having recovered from its near-death state and seeing its ascension to an Immortal Realm within reach, also cooperated with Li Fan, issuing the command.
Except for Wuming, the other seven Great Heavenly Venerates were originally formed from the world's imprints.
Thus, they offered little resistance. Their indistinct figures slowly dissolved.
They vanished into the infinite power of the star sea.
Even if Star Spirits were immortal, when the medium they depended on ceased to exist, they too could only disappear from between heaven and earth.
This was not as simple as merely dismissing a summons. With this act, the Xuanhuang Realm had thoroughly erased the primordial imprints left by the past Great Heavenly Venerates.
This meant that from this day forward, the Xuanhuang Realm would never again be able to summon the phantoms of its Great Heavenly Venerates.
As the Star Spirits dissipated, the channel connecting to the Infinite Star Sea also gradually closed.
But the energy consumption of the immortal-mortal transformation was also decreasing sharply.
Autumn Water's support was now sufficient.
Having sent away the seven most threatening phantoms, Li Fan turned his gaze to the last one, Wuming.
Great Heavenly Venerate Wuming was without knowledge or consciousness, merely acting in accordance with the natural flow of the Heavenly Dao.
When the time came for him to make the correct choice, Wuming first established the trial for the succession of the next Great Heavenly Venerate.
Then, a nameless fire suddenly blazed forth from within his body.
He chose to end his own existence, just like the previous Great Heavenly Venerate, Su Bai.
When the flames on Great Heavenly Venerate Wuming completely consumed him and then dissipated...
With the eight Great Heavenly Venerates as a sacrifice, the Xuanhuang Realm's path of ascension finally reached its final moment.
It was about to cross the line between immortal and mortal.
A sudden realization dawned on Li Fan.
The moment the Xuanhuang Realm ascended to become an Immortal Realm, all the treaties and agreements it had signed with him would be rendered null and void!
They would no longer count!
Between mortals, agreements and contracts might exist.
But how could an immortal be bound by such things with a mortal?
Struck by a flash of inspiration, Li Fan used the last moments of his control over the Xuanhuang Realm's power to summon the Heaven and Earth Soul, Ink Death.
In the next instant...
The vortex in the sky healed completely.
With a thunderous roar, the Xuanhuang Realm resumed its motion.
Streaks of seven-colored light appeared in every corner of heaven and earth, dancing and leaping through the world.
The Xuanhuang Realm, which had been compressed to its limit, began to rebound and transform.
It grew at a visible rate.
In an instant, the Xuanhuang Realm once again became vast, the heavens high and the earth distant.
Expanding by millions of miles in a moment, Li Fan's vision, after just a few breaths, could no longer see the giant pillars supporting the four corners of the world.
...
Li Fan took in all the astonishing changes of the Xuanhuang Realm.
Using the last vestiges of the realm's power, he vaguely sensed that far, far away in the cosmos, the Hunger Immortal in the Immortal Ruins seemed to have awakened.
However, she looked at the newly appeared Immortal Realm with an inexplicable expression, cautiously choosing not to appear rashly, observing only from a distance.
Meanwhile, within the Yuandao Province of the Xuanhuang Realm, the Grandmaster and the shadowy figure remained in a deep slumber.
But the shadowy figure, from which the voice of the Dao had long been silent, once again began its spontaneous chanting.
The sleeping Grandmaster's brows furrowed tightly. His mouth opened and closed, also producing the sound of the Dao being preached.
When the two met, they did not stack. Instead, they canceled each other out.
Ultimately, all turned to silence.
Outside the Xuanhuang Realm, the Heavenly Doctor and the Dharma Spreader had just broken through the high wall Li Fan had erected.
Staring at the familiar yet strange Xuanhuang Realm that had appeared out of nowhere, they stood frozen on the spot.
What surprised Li Fan somewhat was that the face of the Dharma Spreader began to flicker and change, as if something was about to break out from within.
...
Within the Xuanhuang Realm, countless changes unfolded one after another following its formal ascension to an Immortal Realm.
But the vast majority of Li Fan's own attention was focused on the Heaven and Earth Soul before him—or rather, the Heaven and Earth Immortal Soul, Ink Death.
The Xuanhuang Realm had transformed from mortal to immortal.
Before Li Fan's eyes, Ink Death had also completed its metamorphosis from mortal to immortal.
What was once a blurry human form composed of thick ink...
After becoming a Heaven and Earth Immortal Soul, its appearance became richer and more detailed.
It even gained a long robe that billowed in the wind.
On Ink Death's face were not the usual five senses of a person, but constantly shifting, flowing symbols of ink.
Meeting the gaze of the Heaven and Earth Immortal Soul, Ink Death, Li Fan's instincts screamed at him with frantic warnings.
Perhaps it was because Li Fan had single-handedly pushed the Xuanhuang Realm through its ascension and transformation, making him a hero of immense merit.
Ink Death, a pure incarnation of the law of destruction, surprisingly did not choose to attack immediately.
But that did not mean Li Fan would hesitate.
"Xuanhuang..."
"World-Ending Transformation."
Li Fan recited silently in his mind.
The bomb he had quietly planted in the Xuanhuang Realm was instantly detonated.
When it was an ordinary cultivation world, the World-Ending Transformation was already terrifying and dreadful.
Now that the Xuanhuang Realm had ascended to become an Immortal Realm, the World-Ending Transformation that erupted within it was even more unspeakably horrific.
The world had become an Immortal Realm, but its inhabitants had not yet had a chance to enjoy the blessings of their chickens and dogs ascending with them.
A terrible catastrophe had already descended.
A frigid wind howled, instantly freezing heaven, earth, time, and space. All living beings within, without a chance to react, became part of the ice crystals.
Terrifying bolts of lightning rained down from the sky. Wherever the lightning swept, everything turned into pure nothingness. The lightning born of heaven and earth vowed to destroy heaven and earth itself.
...
The Xuanhuang Immortal Realm, having just stabilized after its ascension, was immediately met with the horrific advent of ten thousand calamities.
The Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao was both shocked and enraged, yet it could not understand why.
And the Heaven and Earth Immortal Soul, Ink Death, was also stunned into a daze.
Because it keenly sensed that the vast majority of these world-ending calamities were all directed at it!
No longer concerned with the cultivator before it, Ink Death sought to unite with the other Heaven and Earth Immortal Souls of the Xuanhuang Realm to quell these various world-ending phenomena.
"Immortal Descends, All Things Return to Void."
An utterly indifferent voice interrupted Ink Death's actions.
As if suddenly in a completely unfamiliar region, the scene of the Xuanhuang Realm before Ink Death's eyes abruptly changed.
In its place was an endless storm of destruction!
Li Fan, hidden within the phantom of the wooden sword, had billions of brilliant stars flashing simultaneously in his mind.
Each one was deducing a part of a magnificent immortal array.
And with these billions of stars working in unison, their joint deduction brought a true immortal array into the world!
[Dissociation Disc, Immortal Array]!
Aided by immortal spiritual energy, the Final Dissociation Disc, which had been shattered into countless fine particles, was officially reborn from the ashes.
Under the miraculous effect of the immortal spiritual energy, each particle evolved into a brand new Dissociation Disc.
Billions of stars shone, and the newborn Dissociation Discs stood like an army of countless True Immortals, dazzling and resplendent!
The deductive power of the Immortal Array Dissociation Disc was already somewhat beyond Li Fan's comprehension.
He needed only a fleeting thought, and the Dissociation Discs would iterate the formation according to his needs, seemingly without end.
He didn't even need to set up the array himself.
Droplets of immortal spiritual power seeped out from the billion cores of the Immortal Array Dissociation Disc.
They spontaneously evolved into the formation!
Thus, a true immortal-grade grand array was born.
Compared to the ones Li Fan had set up before, its power was like the difference between clouds and mud.
Even in the instant it was generated, the Immortal Array Dissociation Disc was already iterating and improving it.
From the moment the array began to be laid out to its completion...
It had already undergone dozens of version changes!
It seemed to truly possess the power to reduce all things to absolute nothingness.
In the past, a mere phantom of the Hunger Immortal could wave away this [Immortal Descends, All Things Return to Void] grand array.
But now...
Ink Death, within this immortal-grade formation, was being battered and whittled down at a visible rate!
"Hmm?"
"This Heaven and Earth Immortal Soul is weaker than I thought?"
Witnessing this scene, Li Fan felt not joy, but a sense of caught-off-guard surprise.
While manipulating the immortal array, he observed the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm.
It was only then that Li Fan discovered some anomalies.
Although the Immortal Realm had already descended, the black qi of the Dao Annihilation Calamity at the center of the star sea seemed to have little reaction.
It was nothing like the reaction when a true Immortal Realm had unfolded in the previous life.
And within the newly born Xuanhuang Immortal Realm, no new immortal spiritual energy was being generated.
It had crossed the shackle of the immortal-mortal transformation.
But it lacked the effect of a qualitative change into an immortal.
All of this, for some reason, made Li Fan think of the Xuantian King of old.
"He had clearly ascended to become an immortal, yet had no immortal spiritual energy."
"Half-immortal, half-immortal..."
"Could it be that everything I've poured into this has only resulted in a half-immortal realm?"
A flicker of annoyance arose in Li Fan's heart.
But he quickly calmed down.
A half-immortal was still an immortal.
From the Xuantian King thousands of years ago to the Xuanhuang Realm now, the situation was the same.
Perhaps it wasn't that his attempt had gone wrong.
Rather, after the destruction of the Immortal Realm, the entire path of cultivation had been fundamentally broken.
Sensing that the cautious Hunger Immortal had finally decided to come and investigate, Li Fan hesitated no longer.
The Immortal Array Dissociation Disc operated at full power.
Under the grand array of returning all things to void, the Heaven and Earth Immortal Soul, Ink Death, was caught in an endless gale.
And blown out, inch by inch.
As Ink Death dissipated between heaven and earth...
An incomparably vast power descended upon Li Fan.
Li Fan had finally stepped into the Dao Integration realm.
But it deviated somewhat from the ideal state he had planned for.
Before he could even process it, the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, sensing Ink Death's temptation and that the murderer was actually Li Fan, instantly went berserk.
In its view, Li Fan had accompanied it from mortal to this state, a figure who was both teacher and friend.
Now, as the Xuanhuang Realm faced a world-ending crisis, he chose to turn his blade against it.
This was a thorough and utter betrayal.
The Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, enraged to its limit, ignored the world-ending crises happening all over its body.
Countless Heaven and Earth Immortal Souls descended upon Li Fan from all sides.
They vowed to execute him.
Standing within the grand array of returning all things to void, Li Fan felt little fear.
He used the final moments of this life to observe the half-ascended Xuanhuang Immortal Realm.
The sun in the sky, the five elements circulating in the world, and the light of the Azure Nether Lamp protecting the Xuanhuang Realm.
And the four immortal pillars supporting the heavens.
In the so-called Xuanhuang Immortal Realm, only these few places showed traces of immortal spiritual energy.
"Perhaps, as time flows, this immortal spiritual energy will slowly spread and permeate."
"Transforming it into a true Xuanhuang Immortal Realm."
"But..."
"It still cannot compare to the glorious Immortal Realm of the past that I once witnessed."
Li Fan sighed inwardly.
"That's right."
"Since the Immortal Realm is destroyed, how can one become an immortal?"
A sense of weariness and futility suddenly arose in Li Fan's heart.
The grand array of returning all things to void was gradually being broken through by the fearless Heaven and Earth Immortal Souls.
Li Fan lingered no more, silently reciting [Truth] in his mind.
When [Truth] activated again, the dejection in Li Fan's heart vanished without a trace.
Because the way [Truth] initiated was markedly different from before.
