Chapter 1095: Mystery of the Creation and Destruction of the Primordial Chaos

Despite their doubts, they still held great trust in Zhang Haobo, who had repeatedly led them through terrifying dangers and near-death experiences. Not a single person chose to turn back; all obediently continued to follow, embarking on an unknown journey.

Watching the group slowly disappear into the distance from the shadows, Li Fan fell into deep thought.

"Even among a group of mortals, there can be individuals like Zhang Haobo who have a premonition before disaster strikes."

"Let alone the countless cultivators in the Xuanhuang Realm."

"It seems I might have been overly optimistic. Although all arrangements are sufficiently secretive, I cannot guarantee that fated individuals will discover any anomalies due to various coincidences."

"If one wishes to conceal something, the best method is to use another matter to attract people's attention."

Li Fan's eyes flickered, an idea instantly forming in his mind.

For now, however, he would quietly watch the spectacle of the Blazing Fire Scorching the Sea unfold to its conclusion.

Not long after Zhang Haobo and the others departed.

Chi Yan, who had been meditating cross-legged, finally made his move.

The fiery dragon coiled around his body revealed an excited gaze, instantly transforming into countless crimson flames that wildly rushed towards every part of the Congyun Sea.

The seawater rapidly heated up at a terrifying speed, and fear spread among the creatures that had not yet left the Congyun Sea.

Facing despair, some cultivators rose up to fight back.

But even the strongest were only at the Soul Transformation stage; how could they be a match for an enhanced Chi Yan?

Li Fan's attention was not on the rapidly perishing lives.

Instead, he silently observed the changes in the world itself.

"New life from destruction."

"Revival from desolation."

The Blazing Fire Scorching the Sea lasted for a full three months.

The ocean dried up, leaving a thousand miles of scorched earth, and the vast sea transformed into a deep chasm.

But Li Fan, who witnessed these scenes from beginning to end, vaguely sensed a hidden vitality within them.

"This is the Life-and-Death Transformation of Xuanhuang."

"Having comprehended this principle, I can now ascend to the Soul Transformation Realm at any time. Moreover, just like with the Five Elements Grand Cave Heaven in the Nascent Soul stage, once I advance, I will undoubtedly be the strongest among Soul Transformation cultivators."

"It's just a pity..."

"My ambitions do not stop here."

Li Fan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the restless spiritual power within him.

"How can the life-and-death transformations in localized areas of the Xuanhuang Realm compare to the subconscious stress response of the entire world during an apocalypse?"

Li Fan recalled the various insights he had gained over the years from comprehending the "Heaven Mending Record."

The world, too, is like a human.

When a person faces a life-or-death crisis, they often unleash power beyond their limits.

The same applies to the world.

The moment an apocalyptic crisis descends, the Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang Realm will undergo various profound self-evolutions in that instant, seeking a glimmer of survival.

The myriad changes born at that time will far surpass those during periods of normal, stable operation.

"If I succeed, my strength after ascending to Soul Transformation will exceed my estimations."

"Therefore..."

"No one can stop me!"

Li Fan's eyes were filled with indifference, and he turned and departed.

Spiritwood Realm.

Master Ou was meticulously examining the corpse before him.

"Unbelievable, simply unbelievable."

"Did you truly forge this, esteemed envoy? If you hadn't told me yourself, I would almost certainly have believed this was a remnant of an immortal."

"After all, the feeling it gives me is almost identical to when Shang Tian is present."

A corpse emitting a faint golden light lay suspended in the air.

Under the golden glow, its face was indistinct.

But the sacred aura it exuded instilled both awe and greed in Master Ou's heart.

After hearing Master Ou's conclusion, Li Fan nodded with satisfaction.

This forged immortal remnant was his reliance for stirring up trouble in the Xuanhuang Realm.

The corpse was purchased with immense wealth; it was the extremely well-preserved remains of a Dao Integration cultivator from several millennia ago.

It was then meticulously processed with golden primordial essence, imbuing it with an aura of power that transcended the mundane.

Furthermore, to make the disguise even more convincing, Li Fan extracted some abilities from the exotic treasures he had previously obtained from the fishing pond and placed them onto this corpse.

For instance, upon approaching this remnant, a cultivator's emotions would be infinitely amplified, almost causing them to lose their rationality.

Moreover, after being attacked, the remnant would actively escape by tearing through space.

When someone touched the remnant, the pure, mutated spiritual energy hidden within it would surge madly into their body, instantly boosting their cultivation.

All of this was to make the deception as realistic as possible.

"Even the Longevity Heavenly Venerate would surely be interested in the legendary true immortal remnant."

"Then let's make a big stir."

On this so-called true immortal remnant, in addition to these tangible benefits, Li Fan also secretly made some arrangements, guaranteed to give the eventual recipient a huge surprise.

With the concealment provided by the Faceless True Immortal's power, cultivators skilled in divination were prevented from deducing the corpse's origin.

After the final refinement work was completed, two pitch-black puppets entered and lifted the "true immortal remnant." They set off to execute Li Fan's mission.

From their appearance to their disappearance, they were utterly silent. In fact, if Li Fan were not their controller, it would be difficult to detect their movements.

These two puppets were the fruits of years of effort by the ingenious artisans of the Heavenly Machine Realm. As expected of the most talented group in the Heavenly Machine Realm, after relentless research, they still hadn't fully grasped the essence of obscure power.

However, achieving a certain level of application presented no obstacles.

The pitch-black puppets perfectly possessed the characteristics of obscure power. They could disappear and appear from the "fissures" of the world, just like the obscure.

Divine sense could neither lock onto them nor detect them.

Furthermore, they had a strong suppressive effect on spiritual power. Attacks from ordinary means could barely cause them any damage.

Their only drawback was the limited destructive power of the puppets, allowing them to only perform covert infiltration missions.

Moreover, the characteristic of the obscure power deviating from the Immortal Ruins also meant these puppets could not operate outside for extended periods. After a certain period, they had to return to the Netherworld to replenish their obscure power.

Regardless, Li Fan was quite satisfied with these pitch-black puppets. Entrusting them with missions would leave almost no room for flaws.

After dismissing Master Ou, Li Fan, by himself, entered a secluded space.

Constantly flashing on the light screen were numerous young faces. Appearing with the images was a long list below introducing their personalities.

"There are countless mortals in the minor worlds, but finding individuals with the pure and utterly sincere heart of someone like Mr. Bai is still quite difficult."

"Especially since the power of the Rebirth Heavenly Venerate has already begun to affect many minor worlds."

"In recent years, the number of newborns has significantly decreased."

"There's no other way. I can only take a step back and settle for the next best option."

"If it's not inherent, then influence it through acquired education."
