Chapter 1229: Source Power Sealing Immortal Disaster

**Chapter 1239****Origin Power Seals Immortal Calamity**

In his 119th life, Li Fan once fabricated rumors of so-called True Immortal remains. He used these as bait to lure cultivators from the Myriad Immortals Alliance into the small world of the Reversing Life and Death Grand Array, thus exposing the Rebirth Heavenly Venerate to the world prematurely.

Unexpectedly, the Xuanhuang World actually harbored a true immortal's remains.

Moreover, it was no ordinary immortal.

"The immortal body of the First Grand Heavenly Venerate?""Interesting."

This single sentence concealed many secrets.

The Xuanhuang Grand Heavenly Venerate did not refer to a specific cultivator, but rather represented a certain rank or title. Li Fan had already learned this in the deepest parts of the Immortal Fall Realm.

"My conjecture at the time was correct; as long as I passed the trials of the Immortal Fall Realm, I should be able to succeed as the new Xuanhuang Grand Heavenly Venerate, and likely obtain the immortal artifacts left by Mr. Bai simultaneously.""So, where would Mr. Bai hide the immortal body of the First Grand Heavenly Venerate? Would it still be within the Immortal Fall Realm?"

Li Fan's thoughts raced.

This First Grand Heavenly Venerate, in particular, greatly concerned Li Fan.

For the remains to be called an "immortal body," there's no doubt this Grand Heavenly Venerate must have been at least a True Immortal in cultivation. Why did this True Immortal die? And why did they choose to leave their remains in the Xuanhuang World before their demise? Could the creation of the Immortal Fall Realm also be related to this True Immortal Grand Heavenly Venerate?

Now, the Sacred Emperor clone had already established himself in the Xuanhuang World. Considering the Xuanhuang World's inherent expansion over the years, the Sacred Emperor's strength could be said to be only slightly inferior to that of Mr. Bai back then. With concrete references, Li Fan was now certain that Mr. Bai's individual power alone could not have created the vast, illusionary yet real Immortal Fall Realm.

However, during the era of the Ten Immortal Sects, the world was unaware of the Immortal Fall Realm's existence. Therefore, it was certain that even if Mr. Bai didn't personally create it, the Immortal Fall Realm must have had a significant connection to him. The multiple illusionary trials undoubtedly confirmed this.

"Although Mr. Bai 'betrayed' the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, he did not go back on his word. The immortal artifacts and the immortal body were all returned to the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao. Even his entire cultivation, in the process of reversing the immortal-mortal principle, reverted to the heavens with his demise."

Li Fan pondered inwardly, yet made no significant move to actively search for the Grand Heavenly Venerate's immortal body. Although the Grand Heavenly Venerate's immortal body could be considered a supreme treasure, it was of little use to Li Fan at present. Even if he could truly cross the 'High Wall' with the immortal body's protection, Li Fan would never rashly depart without knowing anything about what lay beyond it.

Not to mention, Li Fan's current realm was still insufficient to utilize immortal spiritual energy. How to detonate an immortal artifact and use its explosive power to cross the 'High Wall' without harming himself was something Li Fan did not know.

"I still need to proceed step by step. Anyway, as long as it's within the Xuanhuang World, or even within the scope of the Darkest Star Sea, it will eventually be mine."

Li Fan had a very clear understanding of his advantages.

"The Sacred Emperor clone in this life already possesses enough capital to challenge the Myriad Immortals Alliance. Under various blessings, his strength has now surpassed mine. Let's see how he stirs up trouble.""This Xuanhuang World is like a small pond. Only by thoroughly stirring the water will those old entities, usually hidden in every corner of the pond, reveal themselves one by one. And I merely need to quietly wait here and observe the unfolding events."

"However, the divine sense I left in the Sun family can be used to cultivate a future Grand Heavenly Venerate."

His attention shifted in an instant.

The divine sense had now fully taken control of Wu Ninglu's body. But without her realizing it. It subtly influenced her every decision and action. Most importantly, it made her sacrifice her own cultivation to nourish the fetus in her womb.

If it were the previous Wu Ninglu, she would certainly not have done this. She had only regarded this unborn child as a bargaining chip to control Sun Ang. But with Li Fan's intervention, things were naturally different.

Ever since the divine sense detected the unusual nature of this fetus, it began a meticulous process of prenatal education. Having experienced the pre-birth cultivation phase with Little Hei, the Fated Dark Phoenix, in the Immortal Fall Realm, Li Fan possessed considerable experience.

Under his personal guidance, the fetus absorbed the mother's cultivation essence, gradually compensating for the innate deficiencies caused by the previous sealing. Its physique grew stronger daily, and its consciousness slowly transitioned from weak to stable. In a state of utter chaos and ignorance of everything, Li Fan's divine sense guided it through one meticulously crafted illusion after another.

"It's said that saints are born, but in reality, it's not impossible to cultivate them later.""As the saying goes, 'judge by actions, not by intentions.' Regardless of one's inner thoughts, as long as one consistently adheres to strict moral demands and codes of conduct, never breaking them even until death...""Then, in the eyes of outsiders, that is a true saint."

Cultivating from a state of innate chaotic consciousness is certainly much easier than postnatal education. What Li Fan was doing now was more akin to shaping a sentient being's personality. He didn't have specific experience, so he could only explore through practice. If this proved feasible, then even if not saints, mass-producing gentlemen would absolutely be no problem.

Li Fan had discovered that although the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao had been deceived once by Mr. Bai, individuals like Mr. Bai were still more likely to gain the Heavenly Dao's trust. Just like the Faceless Sacred Emperor in this life.

"And the root cause, I'm afraid, traces back to King Xuantian, Xuanyuan Hong, and even the very first Xuanhuang Grand Heavenly Venerate," Li Fan mused.

Li Fan had already planned for the birth of the fetus within Wu Ninglu to occur simultaneously with her assimilation of the World Soul and advancement to the Dao Integration realm.

"If the method is proper, perhaps the power of the Heavenly Dao laws condensed within the mother's body could be directly transferred to the child through childbirth.""It might even be possible for the Xuanhuang World's first cultivator born into the Dao Integration realm to emerge..."

"With such an auspicious phenomenon, who would dare say he isn't a saint?"

As Li Fan thought this, he couldn't help but feel a certain expectation for the fetus's future. He had even pre-written the script of its destiny.

"Such a prodigy will undoubtedly be seen as the future hope of the Myriad Immortals Alliance. Yet, when the Grand Qi Sacred Dynasty and the Myriad Immortals Alliance are locked in fierce battle, this very individual will resolutely choose to turn against them.""And firmly assert that they stand on the side of justice.""The scene of everyone in the Xuanhuang World being forced to transmit their laws must be quite interesting to behold."

Vivid scenes flashed through Li Fan's mind. Without needing the Dao Assimilation Stone for deduction, he could already roughly predict the trajectory of this life.

However, this was the most ideal scenario. Whether it was cultivating an innate saint, or the Grand Qi Sacred Dynasty genuinely developing to the point of forcing the Law Transmitter to appear, both would require a long period of gradual development.

Also in the Sun family.

The divine consciousness hidden within the Immeasurable Mirror lived a much more leisurely life than the divine sense. Aside from constantly prying into the secrets of the Heavenly Profound Mirror, most of his energy was spent trying to lure out the Calamity Wind of Annihilation from the mirror.

Since Sun Luyuan had defected to the Sacred Emperor, he was fortunate enough to borrow over a hundred recently born, robust members of the Nether Tribe. They were currently hidden in a secret underground chamber of the Sun family, next to the clan's essence blood pool. The treatment of these Nether Tribe members was even better than that of their kin in the Sacred Dynasty. They even had two hours of rest every day.

Of course, this wasn't Li Fan showing kindness; rather, the Immeasurable Mirror simply couldn't withstand overly frequent experiments and needed time to rest.

"My guess was correct; this Calamity Wind of Annihilation indeed actively attacks powers approaching that of an immortal."

At this moment, the Immeasurable Mirror emitted faint glows, floating in the air. The mirror surface did not reflect external scenes; instead, numerous catastrophic scenarios of civilizations being destroyed rapidly flashed across it. An aura of ancientness and profound age emerged from the mirror body. The Immeasurable Mirror, which had just recovered after absorbing essence blood, once again became badly damaged.

Black, invisible winds of annihilation were drawn out from the Immeasurable Mirror. They flew towards a golden square not far away. This square was naturally composed of pure origin power. Although not as refined as the Sacred Emperor clone's origin power, it was sufficient to attract the Calamity Wind of Annihilation.

As the Calamity Wind of Annihilation entered the area covered by origin power, its form instantly changed. Its transcendent power vanished instantly. The decrease in the purity of the origin power led to a drop in its energy level. The Calamity Wind of Annihilation, having lost its target, briefly hovered in place. It was about to continue spreading outwards.

But the origin power shifted, forming a grand array. This array sealed the power of the Calamity Wind of Annihilation within it. For this grand array, Li Fan referenced the incomplete Xuan Yuan Primordial Spirit Grand Array, using array formations to simulate a relatively static space. Inside the grand array, there was nothing; it was a state of absolute void. It greatly resembled a post-apocalyptic scenario where everything had been annihilated.

The Calamity Wind of Annihilation was indeed lured by it; its energy no longer surged violently but slowly subsided into dormancy. Similarly calming were the remaining vestiges of the calamity wind within the Immeasurable Mirror.

"Senior's methods are truly miraculous! Just a few more times like this, and the hidden dangers within me will be completely eliminated," the Immeasurable Mirror Spirit, Sun Luyao, exclaimed with delight.

Li Fan ignored him, carefully putting away the small golden cube containing the Calamity Wind of Annihilation. He had already created more than twenty such small cubes. Due to variations in technical proficiency, the calamity wind power contained within them also varied.

But undoubtedly, if the balanced state of any golden cube were disturbed, a terrifying calamity would erupt.

Sun Luyao paid no mind to Li Fan's silence and continued describing his changes. "Senior, I have a premonition that once this calamity wind is completely removed, my control over the Immeasurable Mirror will reach a new realm. At that time, I might be able to sense the whereabouts of other fragments of the Immeasurable Mirror and fully restore this immortal artifact."

"Not bad," Li Fan nodded indifferently, his attention still focused on the golden cubes.

Having witnessed Li Fan's methods, Sun Luyao, eager for commendation, hesitated for a moment before he couldn't help but say: "Senior. Once I'm fully restored as an immortal artifact, I might also be able to simultaneously sense the whereabouts of any other potential immortal artifacts remaining in the Xuanhuang World."

Hearing Sun Luyao's words, Li Fan finally turned his head slightly.

"Oh? You're so certain?"

Sun Luyao's spirits lifted, and he quickly explained: "Beings like us can always sense each other. Especially my Immeasurable Mirror, which also possesses the ability to measure heaven and investigate earth. If there truly are other immortal artifacts in the Xuanhuang World, then after my restoration, the probability of finding them is quite high."

Li Fan smiled: "I think you've been confined for too long and simply can't hold back, eager to go out and roam, aren't you?"

Sun Luyao chuckled awkwardly: "Of course, that's part of it. But my intention to help Senior find immortal artifacts is absolutely not false."

Li Fan glanced at him: "Let's fully eliminate this calamity wind first, then talk." Li Fan's expression was somewhat solemn: "Don't be fooled by how weak it seems now; its root hasn't shown any signs of completely diminishing."

"After all, it's a power beyond the mortal realm; we cannot be careless."

Sun Luyao nodded in deep agreement.

The Grand Qi Sacred Dynasty.

More than ten days had passed since Li Ping completely devoured the Xuanhuang malevolence. Having gained such immense power, the rapidly strengthened Li Ping needed some time to digest and adapt. He rarely took a break.

However, within the Grand Qi Sacred Dynasty, an unprecedented scene of prosperity and flourishing emerged. Currently, the Grand Qi Sacred Dynasty's fortune was highly bound to Sacred Emperor Li Ping. Normally, after cultivating the Heavenly Emperor's Qi Canon, the growth of the dynasty's fortune would drive the emperor's strength ascension. But at this moment in Grand Qi, it was a rare case where the Sacred Emperor's breakthrough in strength fed back into the Sacred Dynasty's fortune. And as the Sacred Dynasty's popular support and fortune further strengthened, it finally brought another round of feedback to the Sacred Emperor.

Therefore, in addition to the strength increase brought by devouring the Xuanhuang malevolence, Li Ping's Heavenly Emperor's Qi Canon was also rapidly approaching a new transformation shortly after his breakthrough. Only this time, the original scriptures contained no records of the path ahead. There was no path left.

"Similar to below True Immortal, or the Longevity realm, this is already the limit for the Qi Luck cultivation path.""After all, simply relying on a dynasty's fortune to break through limitations and achieve True Immortal status...""It's still too difficult.""Unless it's a great sacred dynasty capable of spanning the star sea."

Li Ping shook his head slightly, suppressing this thought. With the fundamental premise of the Darkest Star Sea in place, even if the Grand Qi Sacred Dynasty unified the Xuanhuang World, it wouldn't be enough to support his breakthrough to the True Immortal realm.

"Since this path is blocked, I must find another way.""The Xuanhuang malevolence has been devoured by me. Next, if I am to become even stronger...""First, there's the supreme treasure, the Fishing Pond.""Secondly..."

The Sacred Emperor sat upon his throne, figures of native Xuanhuang World creations like Ruomu and stone tablets appearing in his mind.

"As part of the Xuanhuang World's laws, the Heavenly Dao suffered a great calamity, yet they are perfectly fine.""Given to them by heaven and earth, if they are useless to heaven and earth, then heaven and earth should reclaim them."

A chilling aura of killing intent emerged from the Faceless Sacred Emperor.
