Chapter 1219: Heavenly Talents All Become Elixir Masters

Li Fan had personally witnessed the true power of the Hunger Art in the Immortal Ruins. Therefore, a sense of awe spontaneously arose in his heart towards the high wall that could firmly suppress the void sea's gravitational pull. This quickly turned into an uncontrollable curiosity.

"It's a pity that the Xuanxian Ark's exploration of the other side of the void sea stopped over two thousand years ago. With the changes in space and time, the maps recorded back then are only useful for reference and hold little practical value." Li Fan then recalled the recent great upheaval in Xuanhuang. "It seems that the main whereabouts of the Law Preacher and the Heavenly Physician in the void sea are the graveyard of world fragments. Something seems to have gone wrong at the foot of the high wall. The normally stable tidal pull unexpectedly reversed, causing a surge to erupt inwards towards the Dark Void Sea."

Li Fan's mind was filled with various thoughts. "The Law Preacher's ability to inform the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance in advance indicates that this matter is definitely related to them. And their summoning of those sixteen Dao Integration cultivators here is very likely connected as well." At this thought, Li Fan had an idea: "If I wait here patiently, I might actually encounter that seven-colored rainbow light. Calculated based on my previous crossing of the void sea and the flight speed of the seven-colored rainbow light... if I'm truly going to encounter it, it will be in the next few days."

After finishing the most interesting parts, Li Fan began to sort through his other significant gains. These insights could not only help the Great Qi dynasty establish itself more smoothly in this life but would also be a tremendous aid to Li Fan in his future reincarnations. Among them, the most crucial for Li Fan was the refinement of Dao Pills.

During the initial difficult years after the Xuanxian Ark split, the cultivators on board, facing extreme resource scarcity, accumulated extensive experience in cannibalism. The prototype of the Dao Pill originated from that period. With limited resources, maximizing absorption efficiency became the top priority for Xuanxian Ark cultivators at that time. The Dao Pill, a secret art that refines cultivators into pills, was a technique perfected based on experiences from the Ark's dark history. It not only refined the memories and souls of other cultivators for one's own use, but could also integrate their talents, dispositions, and innate divine abilities into oneself!

Of course, side effects were unavoidable. The stronger the raw material used to refine a Dao Pill, the more pronounced the side effects. If one's own strength was insufficient and they forcibly consumed it, failing to properly absorb the benefits, there was a high likelihood of suffering a backlash, transforming into something neither human nor ghost. In their madness, they would disown family and engage in widespread slaughter. Therefore, after the Xuanxian Ark gradually stabilized, this Dao Pill secret art became one of the Ark's forbidden techniques. Only the true core members of the Ark were qualified to know about it.

"It's quite complex." Li Fan studied the entire refinement process in detail, his brows slightly furrowed. The root of this secret art was still alchemy. Alchemy was not Li Fan's forte, but his mastery of formation arrays was exquisite. The Disintegration Disc simultaneously parsed, disassembled, and converted each step into a corresponding array.

"As long as this array is set up, Dao Pill refinement can be fully automated, saving effort and worry. Although I don't particularly care about innate divine abilities anymore, I've still gained mastery over another unique method. It will also be extremely useful for intimidating those so-called prodigies. My only concern is whether this method will actually be effective in the Xuanhuang Realm."

The two segments of the void sea didn't just differ in time flow. The Xuanxian Ark was exposed to the chaotic and disorderly Dark Void Sea, without the protection of native world power. Li Fan couldn't guarantee that the rules here would also apply in the Xuanhuang Realm. "I'll know for sure if I get a chance to try it."

Apart from the Dao Pills, another thing that caught Li Fan's attention was a communication method capable of minimizing interference from the residual power of true immortals in the void sea. It was created by the second head of the Immortal Pivot Institute and was named "Boundless." Its principle was to generate a power with "resistance" attributes against the residual power of true immortals, based on the remaining Heavenly Dao attributes in the void sea.

However, its drawbacks were also obvious. It required knowing the other party's precise spatio-temporal coordinates. Furthermore, due to the omnipresent gravitational pull of the Dark Void Sea, communication often had to be unidirectional, meaning only along the direction of the gravitational pull. The Xuanxian Ark had almost no records of other survivors in the Dark Void Sea. Therefore, this Boundless communication method was largely disregarded. However, Li Fan found it could have some unique applications.

Outside the Xuanxian Ark, in the Sea of Relics, the Saint Embryo, Li Fan, who was comprehending the Heavenly Dao of the Dark Void Sea, suddenly opened his eyes. A playful expression flickered in his eyes, and he immediately sent out a silver ray towards the perceived location of the Xuanhuang Realm. "If the cultivators in the Xuanhuang Realm receive this message, their reactions should be quite interesting." However, this was merely a momentary whim on Li Fan's part. The Xuanxian Ark's location was simply too far from the Xuanhuang Realm, and it was also very close to the Immortal Ruins. Li Fan had no real confidence that the Boundless communication would successfully reach the Xuanhuang Realm; it was purely for amusement.

The Saint Embryo had gained a great deal from the Xuanxian Ark; after all, it represented the accumulation of an entire civilization. Even if it wasn't the absolute pinnacle of their knowledge, it was still incredibly valuable to Li Fan.

The perspective returns to the Xuanhuang Realm. Since the return of the Sacred Dynasty Great Qi, Sun Luyuan had been exceptionally busy. Although he hadn't visited every prodigy on the list, he had managed to gather general information about them through his connections. Although Ouyang Tian hadn't pressed him about the defection efforts, Sun Luyuan deeply understood that this was his first assignment after joining the Great Qi. He not only had to succeed but also had to do it splendidly, flawlessly, and in a way that would earn praise.

After careful selection, Sun Luyuan quickly decided on the target for his meritorious deed. It was none other than the renowned Fairy Kongyou of the Immortal Alliance! Fairy Kongyou's cultivation base was also at the Dao Integration stage. However, in the eyes of ordinary Immortal Alliance cultivators, Kongyou was far more important than Sun Luyuan. Besides Kongyou's unparalleled beauty in the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, it was also due to her companion mystical artifact, the Yin-Yang Jade. Fairy Kongyou could, through the dual cultivation method of Yin and Yang, merge the Yang half of the Yin-Yang Jade with her Dao Companion. This would elevate her Dao Companion's Foundation Building artifact, Golden Core, Nascent Soul Grotto-heaven, and even their forthcoming transformations. It was enough to transform an ordinary person into a prodigy in a single leap, and could even help an unparalleled prodigy advance further, becoming a truly peerless existence in the Xuanhuang Realm, unparalleled throughout history!

Sun Luyuan had heard rumors about this even back during the Sacred Dynasty Great Qi. Several disciples under the Sacred Emperor of Great Qi currently had no Dao Companions. If he could trick Kongyou into coming and then facilitate a match, not only would future defection efforts be easier using Kongyou's name, but he would also curry favor with the Sacred Emperor's disciples. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone? Sun Luyuan's eyes narrowed, a plan already forming in his mind.
