Chapter 1137: The Holy Dynasty's Grand Vision Emerges
“The changes in heaven and earth, the transformations of yin and yang, reside within a single thought…”Li Fan’s true form hovered above Mount Jie Li, gazing down at the Great Xuan world. As he sensed the intertwining of the impending changes within him and the external world, he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
“Perhaps when Celestial Physician dismembered and transformed the Xuanhuang World back then, he used methods similar to what I’m employing now.”“If he hadn’t taken the first step, with my current strength, I could actually carry out localized transformations of the Xuanhuang World myself.”
It was still Anchor Year 1.Li Ping, the clone, proceeded to Xuanjing City as planned. With lightning speed, he executed the tyrannical monarch, aligned with Heaven’s will, and established a new dynasty.
This dynasty, in this life, was not a hastily constructed tool force designed to escape the Faceless True Immortal.Instead, it was a preparation to uncover the true identity of the Dharma Spreader.Naturally, it needed to be more formal and could not reuse the old dynasty’s name.Thus, seven days later, Li Ping used a spell to proclaim to the world that the new dynasty would be named “Qi.”
As Saint Emperor Thrones rose throughout the Great Xuan, the Qi Dynasty’s absolute prestige rapidly solidified among the populace.Especially after the Heaven and Earth Cauldron was forged and placed within the Saint Emperor Thrones, the spiritual energy concentration in Great Qi steadily increased.Meanwhile, Li Fan’s true form subtly used his immense spiritual power to accelerate and modify this process during the spiritual energy’s resurgence.
“The transformation I am unleashing in Great Qi is one of the changes that naturally emerged in the Xuanhuang World after it faced the world-ending crisis in the previous life.”In Li Fan’s current vision, the Great Qi mini-world was like a stone embryo, constantly reshaping under his hands.“It is said that ‘heaven and earth change, and heroes emerge.’ This is because heroes often arise in accordance with destiny and are blessed by Heaven, so their aptitude and talent far surpass ordinary people. In mortal folklore, there’s a common saying that heroes in troubled times are stars descended from the heavens; the principle is the same.”“This specific transformation signifies Heaven opening its favor, with the descent of many stars.”As the power of the ‘world-birthing change’ within him emanated, Li Fan could clearly perceive the transformations occurring in the Great Qi world under its influence.
Over the next few decades, true Children of Destiny, like Mr. Bai and Su Yuqing, would emerge continuously like mushrooms after rain.The actual innate talent of a Child of Destiny was closely linked to the world’s strength.Though both were fated individuals, Mr. Bai naturally far surpassed Su Yuqing from the mortal world.The Children of Destiny born in Great Qi might initially be slightly weaker than the prodigies of the Xuanhuang World.However, as Li Fan continuously transformed Great Qi, the mini-world would slowly ascend in status.The quality of Great Qi’s talents would gradually catch up to and surpass those of the Xuanhuang World!
“This is a transformation where Heaven and man align, a method of nourishing humanity with Heaven’s grace.”Li Fan carefully absorbed the subtle changes as the world was slowly molded in his hands, feeling a surge of pride and detachment.“This is true world-shaping with a mere flick of the wrist.”“What I’m changing now is merely a mortal mini-world. I can only wonder what it must feel like for someone like Celestial Physician to casually reshape the Xuanhuang World…”
World and man.Vastness and insignificance.Yet now, the seemingly insignificant human was, conversely, shaping the world.The pleasure derived from this stark contrast even surpassed the joy of cultivation or realm advancement.It captivated Li Fan, almost making him lose himself.
Fortunately, the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Chant activated on its own, soon jolting Li Fan awake.“Hmm… This is the natural mental disorientation that arises after gaining control of power that originally didn’t belong to my level.”“If I were to indulge in it continuously, there’s a high possibility I’d be assimilated by the world’s Heavenly Dao, losing my self-awareness and becoming a part of it.”Li Fan narrowed his eyes, musing to himself.
During the process of shaping the new Great Qi mortal world, Li Fan also discovered that the power of the ‘world-birthing change’ was not infinite or continuously sustained.“As the world operates according to these changes, it consumes this energy. For instance, the ‘Heaven opening its favor, stars descending’ effect I initiated would likely only last about fifty years based solely on the initial impetus, without further augmentation. It could even be shorter due to various unexpected factors.”
During the period while waiting for Huan Zhen to complete its recharging, Li Fan had been contemplating and comprehending the principles of the world’s Heavenly Dao, as well as his own future path.Meanwhile, within the Great Qi Dynasty, terrifying, rapid changes were occurring constantly.
Anchor Year 1 saw the construction of new Body Purification Spirit Pools across the land. Complementing these was a technique called the ‘Heart Calming Spell.’People from all regions could go to these spirit pools and, with the help of the Heart Calming Spell’s magical power, remove the mortal miasma from their bodies.
Anchor Year 2, the spiritual energy concentration in Great Qi had already reached the average level of the Xuanhuang World.The Mandated Saint Emperor manifested his form in the sky, personally imparting immortal cultivation techniques to all beings.This technique was named the ‘Enlightenment Spirit Cultivation Art.’All citizens of Great Qi who had shed their mortal bodies could practice it.Furthermore, those who achieved minor success in the cultivation art could travel to the Sacred Capital to meet the Mandated Saint Emperor and receive his personal guidance.
At the same time, in a secret underground base in the Sacred Capital, tens of thousands of robust soldiers began to temper their bodies and absorb the power of exotic beasts using the ‘Creation Cauldron Art.’
Anchor Year 3, the Mandated Saint Emperor issued a pro-natalist policy.Households with three children would receive a 50% tax reduction.For even more children, the imperial court would grant additional rewards.To support this policy, Holy Medical Institutes were established throughout Great Qi.All physicians in these Holy Medical Institutes were cultivators who had embarked on the path of immortality. Having been personally taught medical arts by the Mandated Saint Emperor, they possessed exceptional medical skills. While they couldn’t revive the dead or regrow bones, they could easily resolve common ailments encountered in daily life, and even the various dangers during childbirth.
In addition to these Holy Medical Institutes, other structures like Holy Academies and Holy Heart Halls were gradually established.As the name suggests, Holy Academies were places of learning.Through synchronized video transmission, citizens across Great Qi could receive personal instruction from renowned teachers in the Sacred Capital at their local Holy Academies.Even the great Mandated Saint Emperor would occasionally deliver lectures to them.The Saint Emperor’s gaze seemed capable of simultaneously observing all beings across heaven and earth.During his lectures, he would even pose questions to students from various regions.And for those who couldn’t answer due to excessive nervousness, the Saint Emperor would not scold them but would instead offer kind encouragement.
Over time, the Mandated Saint Emperor’s status in the hearts of the populace grew increasingly exalted and unshakable.Consequently, more and more people visited the Holy Heart Halls daily to pray.Within the Holy Heart Halls, tall statues of the Mandated Saint Emperor stood.Their faces were indistinct, but their aura was sacred and inviolable.Citizens of Great Qi who harbored worries, had requests, or sought repentance…There was nothing they couldn’t confess to the Saint Emperor.The Saint Emperor embraced all, never blaming them.It was even rumored that he would occasionally bestow divine grace, quietly resolving the concerns of his loyal followers.
In addition to these various benevolent measures, the necessary punitive institutions were also in place.The Holy Censorate monitored the world, and any act that violated the imperial laws would receive the most severe punishment.The most terrifying penalty was not death, but having one’s consciousness extracted and imprisoned within the Holy Heart Hall.There, they would face the eternal condemnation of the Great Qi populace.
The entire Great Qi Dynasty was like a flying vessel gaining immense power, its strength surging forward and growing daily.However, it had not initiated any external wars, merely continuously accumulating its might.
Early Anchor Year 8.Gazing at Huan Zhen, which had finished recharging, Li Fan abruptly rose.Stretching his limbs, he hurried towards the Eastern Ruins Abyss.Remaining behind the scenes didn’t mean he had to stay within the Great Qi mini-world indefinitely.Just as he had hidden in the Ghost Prison at the end of the 119th era.The enemy’s heartland, the place darkest directly under the lamp, might be the safest and most unexpected location.
Upon arriving in the familiar Xuanhuang World, Li Fan didn’t linger. He transformed into a phantom and headed straight for Tianyu Province.According to the secret intelligence he had previously gleaned from the Heavenly Profound Mirror, there was an identity in Tianyu Province perfectly suited for disguise.
Central Tianyu, Luojia Mountain Range.In an underground cavern.Li Fan, like a phantom, silently infiltrated it.After discerning the surrounding energy fluctuations, he revealed a faint smile.
“Grand Transformation cultivator Sun Ang discovered a Soul of Heaven and Earth here.”“He used formations to seal off the underground cavern and spent a full three years, alone, exhausting the Soul of Heaven and Earth to death.”“Ultimately, he achieved the status of Dao Integration Immortal Venerable.”“Sun Ang’s family had, for generations, held important positions in the Dharma Protector Hall. Soon after he became a Dao Integration Immortal Venerable, he was selected to join the Dharma Protector Hall headquarters. He guards the Yanfa Jade, and was one of the elderly individuals I encountered when I first met the Yanfa Jade.”“The Soul of Heaven and Earth that Sun Ang refined is very mysterious. After achieving Dao Integration, he never made a move again, and even I don’t know his full background.”“But it doesn’t matter…”
As Li Fan’s thoughts turned, he had already spotted his target.The once pitch-black underground cavern suddenly became multi-colored.Sun Ang sat cross-legged, his expression solemn, his hands constantly forming incantations.He emitted streams of seven-colored rainbow light, carefully binding the phantom figure before him.And the Soul of Heaven and Earth, for some unknown reason, was sleeping.It seemed completely unaware of Sun Ang’s subtle actions, allowing him to proceed.
“Soul of Heaven and Earth, Zilong.”“It was entrusted with the heavenly duty of nurturing the Luojia Thousand Crystal Hundred Flowers…”The moment Li Fan saw the phantom of the Soul of Heaven and Earth, he understood its essence.“The Luojia Thousand Crystal Hundred Flowers are a famous sight of Luojia Mountain. Appearing once every five hundred years, they grow from the earth, covering the mountains like flowers, but are actually special crystals akin to spirit stones…” All sorts of information instantly surfaced in Li Fan’s mind.“It’s one of the orders of heaven and earth, and has little to do with me.”
In fact, Li Fan had no intention of interfering with this Soul of Heaven and Earth.He looked at Sun Ang, who was concentrating on casting spells to imprison Zilong, and his eyes flashed.In an instant, he set up layers of formations, trapping Sun Ang in the center.At this moment, Sun Ang finally became aware.“What—”Before he could finish the word, his vision went dark, and he lost consciousness.
He traveled through Sun Ang’s sea of consciousness, reviewing all his memories.Then, he extracted a wisp of Sun Ang’s essence blood and casually suppressed him within his own inner mini-world.Li Fan immediately activated the Arcane True Spirit Transformation, changing into Sun Ang’s appearance.
