Chapter 1092: All Essentials Gathered Together

All Essences Gathered

The research into the dark power by the people of the Heavenly Secret Realm was not as smooth as anticipated.

It was understandable; after all, it was a power level comparable to the Source Power Essence. No matter how brilliant, completing research from scratch would inevitably require a significant amount of time. Fortunately, Craftsman Hermit and his colleagues were research fanatics; ever since the research began, they had been completely engrossed and immersed in it.

All Li Fan needed to do was wait patiently and then reap the rewards.

Meanwhile, Li Fan had quietly begun his scheme against the two immortals.

In the underground chamber of the Spiritwood Realm.

Hundreds of oddly shaped puppets stood motionless.

Li Fan, with a serious expression, personally engraved formations on them.

"Bait puppets, seventy-two sets in total, with two puppets per set. In each set, one puppet will fly into the Immortal Ruins, while the other will be placed in various corners of the Profound Yellow Realm's ley lines. When the seventy-two bait puppets fly towards the Immortal Ruins, the grand formation on them will activate, drawing the attention of the immortals there."

"This formation, deduced by the Disjunction Disk, is infinitely close to the level of an immortal-grade grand formation. It is named 'Bewildering,' like scattered flowers gradually desiring. An immortal in seclusion, suddenly perceiving a threat, will instinctively react. This will allow them to trace the origin back to the Profound Yellow Realm."

"Around the bait puppets remaining in the Profound Yellow Realm, I will deploy a warning net using the Source Power Essence of the Faceless True Immortal. Once the power of the Immortal Ruins' immortals triggers it, it will attract the attention of the Faceless True Immortal."

"If nothing unexpected happens..."

"Once these two unimaginable forces collide, the Profound Yellow Realm will likely be instantly reduced to dust. Therefore, my act of falsely tricking the Heavenly Dao and extracting the Profound Yellow to prepare for the impending change must be made in advance."

In his mind, the Dao Transformation Stone emitted a flickering blue light.

The sublimated Dao Transformation Stone's deduction capabilities had been greatly enhanced. This strategy of 'driving wolves to swallow tigers' involved numerous aspects. Even with countless complexities and frequent variables, the Dao Transformation Stone did not bear a significant burden.

Of course, this was only because, in the deduction, the Faceless True Immortal and the Immortal Ruins' immortals only possessed the abilities Li Fan had predetermined.

Li Fan was still very self-aware; with his current strength, presumptuously attempting to deduce the actions of a True Immortal was akin to a foolish fantasy. All he could do was seek a glimmer of victory based on the reality he had already experienced.

"The Immortal Ruins' immortals will shake the True Immortal's net."

"I will then seize the opportunity to activate Reversion to True, escaping in one fell swoop."

"Of course, this is the ideal state. As the saying goes, 'plan for defeat before planning for victory,' I also need to consider what if my plan fails, and the power gap between the Immortal Ruins' immortals and the Faceless True Immortal is too great, insufficient to shake the True Immortal's net's restraints..."

"Then I must immediately return to the depths of the Netherworld, activate Reversion to True, and escape the dangerous situation."

"Currently, I have mastered several things that can at least slightly affect a True Immortal; delaying them for a moment is still possible."

Li Fan examined what lay beyond his own spirit.

The silver light protection gifted by Heavenly Physician, the golden Source Power Essence, and the multicolored divine light wrapped in gray mold...

Various distinct powers maintained a delicate balance. Perhaps only someone like Li Fan could remain completely calm in such a situation. He even felt a faint sense of peace.

"Using leverage to apply force, engaging in strategic maneuvering. At its root, my own strength is still too weak. But how easily can the threshold of immortality be crossed?"

"Even geniuses like Profound Heaven King, Transmitting Dharma, and Heavenly Physician are blocked outside, unable to advance an inch."

"What's more, me? If not for possessing Reversion to True, I probably would have long given up on this seemingly unrealistic fantasy," Li Fan said with a slight self-mockery.

"But since I am fortunate enough to encounter the wonder of Reversion to True. Then no one can stop my path to immortality..." A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Li Fan knew that whether it was Chaos, Famine, or Annihilation, what he saw was not the original version.

Rather, they were clumsy imitations by later generations.

Therefore, for a long time, Li Fan had never given up on the in-depth study of these three True Immortal seal scripts.

Even a copy of a copy, the closer the imitation, the greater its power.

Even immortals could comprehend the Dao by leveraging one of these characters. It could be said that any one of these three was something Li Fan could barely fathom even if he spent his entire life studying it.

Li Fan's comprehension was limited, but he could borrow from external objects.

Besides the peerless talent of his clone Li Qing, the geniuses of the Profound Yellow Realm from Shanhe Xuan, who had recently been coaxed and turned, also became resources for Li Fan.

The Xuan Tian Sect cultivation method, 'Heaven and Earth Intertwined Odes,' obtained from Senior Sister Zhao. It could equalize the talent and comprehension of any target.

After his clone Li Qing achieved some minor success, she began to scout for suitable targets.

It was publicly claimed that they were sent on secret missions for the Red Dust Benevolent Immortal, but in reality, they had been secretly controlled and their talents extracted.

Of course, due to the intertwined and equalizing effects, these geniuses also received half of Li Qing's talent bonus.

Li Qing's talent was not inferior to theirs, so the Shanhe Xuan geniuses, including Shang Tianci, did not detect anything unusual. They were simply amazed by the miraculous nature of the 'My Foundation Establishment Method.'

With the talent blessings from over a dozen geniuses, clone Li Qing's comprehension had reached an astonishing level.

She even detected that Li Fan's main body had erased parts of her own memory.

But she was merely a clone; there was no 'you' or 'me' distinction between her and the main body. She steadfastly carried out the task of comprehending the True Immortal seal scripts.

The three True Immortal seal scripts continuously appeared in her mind, like living entities.

Li Qing's eyes seemed to perceive a blurry figure transforming the Dao into characters.

"Engraving the Dao..."

"An existence more formidable than the Faceless True Immortal. Perhaps that is my ultimate goal."

Just as Li Fan was secretly preparing for this world's ultimate grand plan.

The Life-Death Reversal Heavenly Venerate, who had appeared out of nowhere previously, finally demonstrated His influence over the Profound Yellow Realm.

Because people discovered that ever since this Heavenly Venerate descended, cultivators in the Profound Yellow Realm had ceased giving birth to new offspring.

Or rather, the entire human race was like this.

Initially, people couldn't be certain it was the Heavenly Venerate's influence.

But when a previously deceased cultivator returned in a way no one had ever imagined, everyone instantly connected all the dots.

The Lancang River, the largest river on the southwestern frontier of the Myriad Immortals Alliance.

One day, a cultivator named Chang Ji suddenly emerged naked from the river.

This unusual scene naturally attracted onlookers.

But Chang Ji paid no attention, instead looking at his body ecstatically and incredulously, muttering, "I'm alive again?"

"Reversion of life and death, reversion of life and death, Heavenly Venerate truly did not deceive me!"
