Even after witnessing the view from the world's highest peak, one can still correctly understand their position upon returning to the mountain base.
This, too, is a manifestation of the immortal heart. Setting aside the deeds of true immortals outside the Xuanhuang Realm for the moment, Li Fan calmed himself and opened the Revival Panel.
This was now his 119th life.Current Time: Anchored Year 2Current Location: Peak of Disintegration Mountain
Lines of small text streamed down like a waterfall:Name: Li FanRealm: Core Formation (Mid-stage)Physiological Age: 21/599Psychological Age: 1368/9999Vanishing Charge Progress: 16%Anchor Charge Progress: 0%Current Anchor Points: 3Available Anchor Points: 2Bound Items: *Thousand Machine Jade Sphere Golden Scripture*, Taiyan Boat, Stop Tablet Remnant, Essence Blood of Ten Thousand People, Dao Transformation Stone, Final Disintegration Disc.Cultivation Methods: Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Chant, Seated Immortal Art, Cloud Water Illusory Dream Art, Body Dao Transformation, Mysterious True Spirit Transformation, Myriad Forms Furnace Art, Creation Furnace Art.Divine Abilities: Chaos, Limitless Emptiness Method, Thread-Pulling Life Severing, Heaven's Change, Reverse Five Elements Life-Death Sword, Life-Death Chain, Formless Killing Intent, Insect Binding...
Since he chose to retain the Final Disintegration Disc rather than his cultivation realm, Li Fan remained at the Core Formation Mid-stage. His maximum physical age also reverted from 999 to 599. However, lifespan limits were largely inconsequential to Li Fan. After all, across countless lives, he had rarely died of old age, except during his mortal phases. With the avatar function now unlocked, it became even more trivial. Interestingly, his psychological age limit did not decrease with the regression of his cultivation. This was likely connected to Li Fan's mind and soul.
"Now, Revival will be fully charged in just six years. This means I can enter the Xuanhuang Realm two years ahead of schedule." Li Fan's gaze dropped to the six bound items on the Revival Panel, and he frowned slightly.
"The Jade Sphere Golden Scripture, Taiyan Boat, the Stop Tablet Remnant...""These were all items I preserved during my mortal reincarnations, vital for escaping the Great Profound World. While exceedingly valuable to me back then, they are now of little use. What bothers me most is seeing them constantly displayed on the Revival Panel.""If only there were a way to remove them." As he pondered this, a subtle prompt from Revival suddenly appeared.
"Consume one anchor point to replace an already bound item?" Li Fan was momentarily taken aback, narrowing his eyes.
"That's certainly good. This replacement function wasn't available before.""The vanishing charge time has also reduced...""Has Revival's capabilities been strengthened?" Li Fan mused for a moment, then carefully examined Revival's other functions. Unfortunately, he didn't discover any other changes for now.
"I previously theorized that Revival's charging speed was linked to my soul and will. Now, it appears there might be other unknown factors involved.""Perhaps it's due to witnessing a True Immortal, which broadened my horizons?""Has the so-called 'exploration progress' increased?" Involuntarily recalling the True Immortal's existence, Li Fan's thoughts wavered once more.
It took him most of the morning to compose himself. His attention returned to the Revival Panel. There was little to say about the remaining cultivation methods and divine abilities. Although they appeared magnificent, and their actual performance was truly extraordinary—making him invincible among peers and capable of killing those beyond his realm. However, having witnessed Mr. Bai, the Transmitter, and even a True Immortal in action, Li Fan now found these abilities somewhat flashy.
"In this world, it seems that realm supersedes everything.""A single higher realm equates to absolute power suppression. It's utterly beyond reason.""An ordinary Dao Harmonization cultivator is no match for the Longevity Heavenly Venerate.""Meanwhile, a True Immortal from the Immortal Ruins can eradicate Xuanhuang with just a glance.""The so-called 'killing across realms' is merely a case of the big fish eating the small fish within the same realm."
Li Fan fell silent for a long moment, all traces of arrogance vanishing from his heart. However, he soon rallied his spirits.
"With Revival in hand, even True Immortals may not be entirely out of reach.""Nevertheless, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.""I must proceed step by step.""The *Seated Immortal Art* has already ascended to the Dao Harmonization realm, meaning I won't need to worry about my primary cultivation method for quite some time.""The *Limitless Emptiness Method* is a divine ability that strengthens the soul. My soul is my sole vulnerability. Whether confronting Ruomu or Mr. Bai, I was practically defenseless...""I hope this divine ability, deduced by the Heavenly Profound Mirror, can at least offer some protection." He now had a clear understanding of those old monsters' power. Li Fan didn't believe that this single divine ability would fully defend him against them. It would be a blessing if it merely allowed him to detect abnormalities when he was "contaminated."
Although, judging by everything that transpired after he transformed in his previous life, Mr. Bai did appear to be truly benevolent, with no intention of seizing Revival. In comparison, Li Fan's own series of actions seemed clownish and merely laughable. But who could guarantee that this wasn't Mr. Bai putting on a performance for Li Fan, knowing he couldn't locate Li Fan's transformed body? Therefore, even if given another chance, Li Fan would act no differently. He always prioritized his own safety. He would never easily trust anyone else.
On another note, reward is proportional to risk. In his previous life, despite facing numerous crises, his gains were even more substantial. He first confirmed that while the Transmitter Heavenly Venerate was powerful and held sway over the entire Xuanhuang Realm, she was not omniscient. After Li Fan detonated numerous Chaos puppets across the Xuanhuang Realm, Saint Embryo Li Fan seized the opportune moment amidst the chaos, using the Medicine King True Cauldron to quietly escape the realm. If the Transmitter Heavenly Venerate truly had a complete grasp of everything in the Xuanhuang Realm, then even if the Medicine King True Cauldron was covered with a material that blocked spiritual perception, and the Xuanhuang Realm was influenced by the Chaos character, the Medicine King True Cauldron should have been unable to escape her control. Yet, it did. This was sufficient proof that the Transmitter Heavenly Venerate still operated within the realm of cultivators, albeit one of extreme power. Her actions could be predicted based on experience and knowledge. True Immortals, however, are entirely beyond conventional understanding, and it's best not to provoke them.
"The Transmitter appeared incomparably powerful because she achieved Dao through the New Law. Subsequent cultivators, by practicing the New Law, would contribute and add to her strength.""Thousands of years of accumulation were enough to elevate her to an unfathomable level.""To defeat the Transmitter, her foundation must first be broken.""This is also why she didn't hesitate to appear personally and eliminate my Foundation Establishment method after it came into existence."
