Chapter 885: A Small World Under a Dharma Shroud
A faint light flickered in his mind, and a moment later, the Final Dissociation Disc, glowing with a soft white luminescence, appeared in Li Fan's hand.
It hadn't been long since he had last sliced off a piece.
The Final Dissociation Disc seemed not to have fully recovered its strength.
"In the beginning, nine discs contended for supremacy, and then they became one," Li Fan mused.
"This means the Final Dissociation Disc can, at most, be divided into nine pieces again."
"Its deductive and array-breaking capabilities won't be affected, but its power level will be fixed at the moment of division."
"However, its own rate of deductive evolution will be significantly slower from now on."
"But that's fine. I just need to synchronize the deductive results from the parent disc to it every so often."
Li Fan's thoughts raced. Then, his finger, like an iron sword, struck down fiercely at the disc.
Amidst a slight tremor, a thin sliver was sheared from the Final Dissociation Disc.
After stowing away the now even weaker parent disc, Li Fan held the new fragment in his palm.
Then, thousands of blood-red threads once again shot out from his body, soaring to every corner of the Spirit Wood Realm.
This strange and unsettling scene instantly captured the attention of every living being in the Spirit Wood Realm.
All the treant races dared not look directly, immediately lowering their heads.
Only cultivators like Tianyang and Shang Tianci watched Li Fan with curiosity.
The countless blood threads, like a myriad of paintbrushes, used the prepared array materials as their pigment.
They began to inscribe a vast formation across the land of the Spirit Wood Realm.
Ordinarily, it would take a typical Nascent Soul array master several years at the very least to barely complete a grand array that covered an entire realm.
But with the formidable computational power of the Dao Transformation Stone in his mind, Li Fan worked on multiple points simultaneously.
He single-handedly took on the work of hundreds of array masters setting up the formation at the same time.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, a magnificent, large-scale formation slowly took shape on the lands of the Spirit Wood Realm.
"You can set up a formation like this?"
This left even the cultivators who didn't understand formations utterly dumbfounded, staring blankly at the scene.
The formation Li Fan was inscribing onto the Spirit Wood Realm was an entirely new creation of his own, one that had never appeared in the Xuanhuang Realm before.
Its core was based on top-tier grand arrays like the Myriad Miles of Mountains and Rivers, the Heavenly Origin Life Creation, and the Heavenly Profound Spirit Locking Formation.
Originally, Li Fan had considered incorporating the essence of the Reversing Life and Death array as well.
But the moment the thought surfaced in his mind, an inexplicable sense of crisis welled up within him, and he decisively abandoned the idea.
In just seven days, the core foundation of the array had taken shape.
Li Fan tossed out the fragment of the Dissociation Disc.
With a brilliant burst of light, the fragment vanished into the air, merging into the heart of the grand array.
"With the Final Dissociation Disc as the core, I can achieve complete surveillance and control over the Spirit Wood Realm, just like the Heavenly Profound Spirit Locking Formation."
"Moreover, I can use the Infinite Method to endlessly strengthen the defensive array."
"Until it is utterly impregnable."
Li Fan's eyes gleamed.
As the Dissociation Disc entered the array, the speed at which the formation took shape across the Spirit Wood Realm instantly increased by thousands of times.
If it was like a child's hand-drawing before, it was now like a printer's press.
Before the onlookers could even react, the land of the Spirit Wood Realm rumbled and trembled.
A brilliant light erupted from the ground, reaching straight to the heavens.
Bathed in this dazzling radiance, all living creatures in the small world were forced to shut their eyes.
When they opened their eyes again, the extraordinary phenomenon had vanished without a trace.
But the Spirit Wood Realm was now completely different from before.
Those with weaker cultivation were fine; they couldn't perceive any change.
But a Dao Integration cultivator like Tianyang couldn't help but look around and up at the sky with bewilderment.
It felt as if countless eyes were staring intently at him, making him feel deeply uncomfortable.
It was Li Fan's hearty laughter that drew Tianyang's attention.
Li Fan had retracted his countless blood threads and landed before the massive, 330-meter-tall gatehouse of the Federation of All Worlds.
Using his hand as a brush, he carved the four large characters for "Federation of All Worlds" under the black jade plaque with flourish and style!
His strokes were like dragons and snakes, completed in a single, fluid motion!
The moment he finished, the Spirit Wood Realm responded, trembling with a faint, continuous vibration.
Li Fan carefully examined his own calligraphy, his pride evident on his face.
For some reason, a projection of the four characters "Federation of All Worlds" appeared in the sky of the Spirit Wood Realm.
Under the leadership of their matriarch, the treants all kowtowed and prostrated themselves.
And all the cultivators landed on the ground, tilting their heads back to gaze at the sight in the sky.
With Li Fan's final stroke, the headquarters of the Federation of All Worlds was officially complete.
The main structure needed no further work, only minor touch-ups here and there.
"It's truly magnificent, but such a vast headquarters is far too empty."
"If an outsider came and saw it this desolate, they would surely have their doubts."
Li Fan stroked his chin, and an idea came to him in the next moment.
He snapped his fingers lightly, and a moment later, one figure after another began to appear in various locations throughout the headquarters!
They moved with purpose, all seeming incredibly busy.
Some even conversed with each other, indistinguishable from real people.
They added a great deal of vitality to the originally desolate Federation of All Worlds.
"Mmm, that looks much better."
"It might be a bit like deceiving myself, but that's alright. This place will be truly bustling soon enough."
A satisfied smile spread across Li Fan's face.
"Senior..."
Just as Li Fan was lost in his reverie, Shang Tianci approached him, looking somewhat nervous.
Li Fan had assumed he wanted to ask for permission to see Lin Ling.
He didn't expect it to be about a new member for the Federation of All Worlds.
"Senior, after my persuasion over this period, Yan Fangzhou has agreed to join our federation."
"However, he said he wants to see our strength first."
Fearing he might have angered Li Fan, Shang Tianci spoke with great caution.
"Yan Fangzhou?" Li Fan's expression shifted.
He had some impression of the man; he was a member of the Mountain River Pavilion, the organization of young geniuses from the Xuanhuang Realm that Shang Tianci had mentioned before.
Young as he was, he was already at the Soul Transformation stage. He had even suggested the brutal idea to Shang Tianci of using the manifested scenery of Xuanhuang from the Heavenly Scene Treasure Gourd to literally burst another Nascent Soul cultivator's grotto-heaven.
His personality was very much to Li Fan's liking.
Li Fan offered a kind smile. "It's fine. Bring him here yourself."
"When the time comes, I will give him a proper reception."
Shang Tianci was overjoyed to hear this. "Yan Fangzhou is much stronger than I am! If he joins our federation, it will be a huge help to our cause."
With that, he took his leave of Li Fan and hurried off to bring Yan Fangzhou over.
Li Fan watched Shang Tianci's retreating figure and shook his head slightly.
He then teleported to the circular grand hall at the entrance of the federation's headquarters.
Gazing at the empty hall, Li Fan pondered for a moment before taking out the Xuantian divine statue he had obtained from Mr. Bai's secret chamber.
