Chapter 1297: Gift of the Star Sea Way

The Immortal Engraver used True Immortal Script to depict the path of immortals. However, even the path of immortals has different levels.

From what I’ve seen before, 'Hunger,' 'Chaos,' 'Solitude,' and 'Return' are likely the most basic. The True Immortal Script that possibly represents 'Creation' is clearly superior to them.

And the path represented by this mark hidden within the You Clan people…

The transformation between immortal and mortal surpasses even what is called 'Creation'!

And Reversion…

Li Fan took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. Even though he had undergone Reversion one hundred and twenty-five times, experiencing firsthand the magnificent power of resetting everything in the world in an instant each time, and knowing that Reversion almost transcended everything currently known.

However, at the end of the previous life, the process of Reversion was disturbed by an unknown variable. Coupled with the terrifying power displayed by the entity known as Cat Treasure from beyond the Wall, it was inevitable that Li Fan would harbor a hint of doubt regarding the upper limit of Reversion. As he would gradually come into contact with forces outside the Wall in the future, could Reversion still be as effective and universally applicable as it was in the Gloom Star Sea?

This discovery gave Li Fan peace of mind.

The limits of Reversion were far more unfathomable than he had imagined.

"The laws of the Xuanhuang Realm can be seen as a partial downward projection of the laws of the Gloom Star Sea. And similarly, the laws of the Gloom Star Sea are a partial downward projection of the laws of the Immortal Realm."

"Reversion, however, stands almost above all. Its top-down projection theoretically allows me to replicate anything I encounter out of thin air through the transformation of 'False Becomes True'."

"Provided my power and comprehension are sufficient."

Li Fan recalled the sensation he felt while just writing that mysterious mark and mused thoughtfully.

"This is merely the transformation of 'False Becomes True'. Reversion is not just about 'False Becomes True'."

"There's also the 'True Becomes False' from before!"

With a thought, Li Fan casually grabbed a nearby round stone. Staring intently at it, he tried to directly erase its existence through 'True Becomes False'.

However, each time Reversion occurred, the surrounding real world seemed to be enveloped in white mist, making it difficult to discern clearly. Thus, Li Fan could not know how the 'True Becomes False' process was achieved.

"Perhaps during Reversion in this life, I can try to actively disperse the surrounding mist." This thought couldn't help but surface in Li Fan's mind.

"If I gain comprehension in this aspect, with Reversion's supreme authority, I might be able to directly cross a major realm and casually erase opponents…"

As his thoughts raced, Li Fan sorted through the residual impressions of the mysterious symbols he had glimpsed while possessing the You Clan members over the past year.

He then handed them over to the Final Disassembly Disc for categorization and application.

Processing two tasks involving immortal formations simultaneously, the Disassembly Disc's efficiency inevitably decreased significantly.

"It seems it's time to upgrade the Disassembly Disc again. Ascensions purely driven by immortal formation data are ultimately limited by a mortal physique."

"The nine initial Disassembly Discs of the Myriad Immortal Alliance are practically not the same items as the one in my hand anymore. The help they can provide is negligible. To truly transform into an immortal artifact Disassembly Disc, immortal spiritual power will ultimately be required…"

Li Fan pressed his slightly throbbing forehead, which was aching from overwork. After relaxing, he looked at the You Clan members present.

They showed no sorrow over the death of the person Li Fan had possessed.

Instead, they felt particularly invigorated by his sacrifice to the Great Gloom Sea.

Seeing the You Clan people's devoutness, Li Fan was deeply moved. With a wave of his hand, he instantly drew all of them into his body, temporarily suppressing them.

Upon returning to the Grand Qi Minor World, he would provide them with the best living conditions, allowing them to remain in Grand Qi and pray peacefully for the rest of their lives.

"This minor world also shouldn't be wasted."

The minor world where the You Clan resided was even weaker than Grand Xuan. Naturally, it hadn't birthed a Heavenly Dao consciousness.

Li Fan found it much easier to act.

He created a simulated Heavenly Grid, directly replacing the Heavenly Dao, to maintain the normal operation of this minor world.

Then, he repeated his old trick, silently grafting it into the main Xuanhuang Realm.

Practice makes perfect; this time, the art of mending the heavens proceeded very smoothly.

With another minor world Heavenly Dao avatar, threads of comprehension, like churning waves, surfaced in his mind from time to time. Even if the rank wasn't high enough, this large volume of enlightenment insights could still provide Li Fan with some substantial inspiration.

"These Heavenly Dao insights are useless to me, but for other cultivators, they are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." After returning to Grand Xuan and settling the You Clan people, having more than half of them convert their faith.

Li Fan looked at the dense crowd of cultivators seated on the Grand Xuan central preaching platform, his heart stirring slightly.

Buzz…

A platform suddenly emerged in the sky. It was situated below the technique catalog platform and above the disciples.

The platform was carved with all the landscapes, spirits, and things of the world. Yet, it was like a living entity, constantly changing and lifelike.

If one looked closely, with a bit of luck, one might occasionally find colorful glints within the stone carvings.

Those were the insights from the simulated Heavenly Grid that Li Fan didn't need.

If cultivators on the preaching platform were fortunate enough to comprehend them, their cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds, and even comprehending their unique divine abilities would be no difficult task.

"All beings on the preaching platform are under my supervision. Their inspiration is also my inspiration."

"Although their cultivation realms are low, the sparks of their thoughts, magnified countless times, are still brilliant. Even if only one in ten thousand can inspire me, with the number of cultivators on this preaching platform, it will accumulate into a considerable fortune over time."

"Moreover, if necessary, I can activate the preaching platform and manipulate the thoughts of the cultivators on it, making them help me comprehend…"

Inside the preaching platform, a silver-white spherical pearl, like an eye, continuously absorbed inner inspirations from various beings above. It gradually became somewhat eerie, as if alive, constantly rotating slightly around itself.

After initially completing the task of spreading the Dao in Grand Xuan, the Saint Teacher's phantom avatar split off another body and departed for the next minor world.

This newly separated body was not supported by Li Fan's true self. Instead, it was formed by the Saint Teacher's phantom avatar absorbing and accumulating the power of faith from the disciples during its preaching.

It was similar to the Heavenly Emperor's Qi Canon, but with Grand Qi replaced by Grand Xuan, soldiers by students, and the Saint Emperor by the Saint Teacher.

Currently, the initial phase of expansion would be handled by these phantom avatars. Once the preaching began to alarm the Myriad Immortal Alliance or other hidden powerful figures in the minor worlds, Li Fan would personally intervene to suppress and subdue them.

Before that, Li Fan still needed to make full preparations for future confrontations.

The portion of the You Clan whose faith had been transformed had already begun to provide Li Fan with initial refined source energy.

Using these refined source energies as bait, coupled with various threats and inducements, Li Fan very skillfully drew old acquaintances like Baihua, Qiaogong, and Senior Yin into his alliance.

"A momentous change is about to occur in the heavens and earth, which you may not yet perceive. I shall now try to explain it."

On the Grand Xuan preaching platform, Li Fan's true self replaced the phantom avatar, sitting solemnly.

Below, Senior Yin and the others listened to Li Fan's lecture.

Li Fan spoke of the revival of the Star Sea, which would lead to the future revival of Xuanhuang.

The listeners were half-believing, half-doubting.

Li Fan smiled faintly, pointed towards the sky, as if opening a vortex leading beyond the Star Sea.

"Everyone, please follow me."

Seven-colored rainbow light emerged around him, and Li Fan invited everyone to enter.

Everyone exchanged glances, but in the end, all entered the protection of Li Fan's rainbow light.

The seven-colored light shot up into the sky.

Passing through the vortex in the sky, the next moment they appeared directly at the Xuanhuang border.

Judging by its momentum, it showed no sign of stopping.

It seemed intent on continuing its swift journey towards the Xuanhuang Realm's starry sky.

Everyone's faces immediately turned pale.

They all knew about the terrifying suction outside the Xuanhuang Realm. Leaving the protection of the Xuanhuang Realm meant they might fall into it the next moment, unable to escape death.

However, what happened next greatly exceeded their expectations.

The seven-colored rainbow light separated into different hues, drawing a curved arc in the Star Sea. It astonishingly led everyone successfully away from the Xuanhuang Realm!

Everyone was astonished.

Li Fan, however, continued without stopping, rapidly flying deeper into the Star Sea.

The desolation of the Star Sea evoked sorrow in everyone, their eyes revealing sadness.

The dangers within the Star Sea alarmed everyone, making their expressions grave.

And Li Fan, like a prophet, consistently managing to bypass dangerous areas in the Star Sea, made everyone look at him askance.

They all speculated how many times Li Fan must have traveled back and forth through the starry sky to be so familiar with it.

However, as they continued deeper into the Star Sea, Li Fan's speed slowed down.

He seemed to be discerning the direction.

Senior Yin and the others' feeling was not wrong. After all, in the previous life, when the Saint Emperor attained enlightenment in the center of the starry sky, the connection between him and Li Fan's true self had become faint and indistinct.

Therefore, on this journey to witness the path of Star Sea revival, the further they went, the fewer memories there were to draw upon, and the more Li Fan had to find his own way forward.

Fortunately, he was still following a map, so to speak.

Relying on a faint intuition, Li Fan had already touched upon the location of this Star Sea's fundamental consciousness. However, the Saint Emperor of the previous life attracted the attention of the Star Sea's fundamental consciousness by acting as an avatar of the 'Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao,' the Star Sea's potential savior.

In this life, Li Fan had not yet revealed qualifications worthy of the Star Sea's attention.

Nor did Li Fan intend to expose himself to the Star Sea so early.

But this did not hinder Li Fan's subsequent plan.

"This should be the place." Feeling it was about right, Li Fan stopped, looked at the void ahead, and sighed softly.

Upon hearing this, everyone followed his gaze with puzzled expressions.

In their perception, this part of the starry sky was indeed somewhat different from before. It seemed a little brighter and warmer. But it was still far from what Li Fan described as 'revival'.

It still looked utterly desolate.

However, since the other party had gone to such great lengths and trouble to bring them here, it certainly wouldn't be without purpose.

Could it be that my comprehension is insufficient?

A trace of self-doubt instantly flashed through everyone's minds.

Then, all of them continued to observe with utmost solemnity.

Li Fan saw the subtle changes in their expressions, smiling but remaining silent.

After a long while, he finally spoke, asking, "Has anyone gained anything?"

His response was silence.

Li Fan feigned a slight surprise, pondered for a moment, then suddenly waved his hand.

He sent several beams of light into everyone's sea of consciousness.

These were precisely the insights the Saint Emperor had gained regarding the power of Star Sea revival in the previous life.

Everyone's eyes immediately lit up.

Around them, faint, imperceptible wisps of vitality appeared out of thin air.

Qiaogong, Baihua, and the others, having survived the destruction of the Immortal Realm to this day, which one of them wasn't a prodigy?

Previously, because the Star Sea's consciousness was too vast and hidden beneath desolation and destruction, they hadn't detected it.

But now, Li Fan was directly throwing the results of his enlightenment into their minds.

Naturally, they all sensed something.

"Indeed!" Baihua was the most profoundly moved.

"If I can grasp this power of revival, perhaps I can transform the Myriad Prosperities Realm…"

Senior Yin, on the other hand, rubbed his head; the unruly remnant world souls he had devoured within his body seemed attracted by this revival power, attempting to burrow out of him once more.

For a time, everyone was immersed in the face of this vast Star Sea power.

They did not notice that Li Fan, who was guiding their enlightenment, had, for some unknown reason, moved some distance away from them.

In fact, Li Fan even used methods close to immortal formations to temporarily conceal his own traces.

He had a premonition that exposing his existence to the fundamental consciousness of the Gloom Star Sea too early would absolutely not be a good thing.

"At least, I must wait until I successfully merge with the Dao and reach the pinnacle of the mortal realm." Li Fan watched the enlightened crowd, his eyes flickering.

The cultivators were immersed in enlightenment, waking up at different times.

Qiaogong was the first to awaken. His eyes darted around, as if he had conceived some brilliant idea. He wished he could immediately return to the Xuanhuang Realm to conduct experiments.

Senior Yin, meanwhile, seemed to have spent a great deal of time resolving the remnant world souls within his body.

However, what surprised Li Fan somewhat was that Baihua was the last to awaken.

From her gaze, Li Fan could feel Baihua's inner joy.

"Congratulations to everyone; you all gained something."

"The Star Sea is fraught with dangers, and it's not suitable for long stays. Let us return as soon as possible," Li Fan said with a smile.

Everyone nodded, responding with the respectful gesture of a disciple to a teacher.

The journey back was safe, though not without its moments, and everyone returned to the Grand Xuan preaching platform.

As the saying goes, 'hearing is not as good as seeing.' Having personally traveled through the Star Sea, everyone now fully believed Li Fan's words.

The revival of the Star Sea was imminent.

"Everyone should know that the Star Sea's desolation cannot be revitalized overnight."

"Xuanhuang, as the only surviving place in the Star Sea today, should naturally become the source of the Star Sea's revival."

"Only by radiating vitality from this place can we achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Upon hearing Li Fan's conclusion, everyone considered it for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"There is no greater merit than supporting a rising power."

"If we can lend a hand to the Star Sea's revival, the benefits we will gain when it returns to its former glory need not be stated," Li Fan said, looking calmly at everyone.

Senior Yin and a few others were moved.

"With the Star Sea's revival, even if the immortal path doesn't open, through its feedback, we might just leap to become the strongest in the Star Sea." A hint of greed flashed in Qiaogong's eyes.
