Chapter 799: Redemptive Immortal of the Mortal World

As the Immortal Master gently tapped, countless images instantly appeared in Su Yuqing's mind.

The scenes of countless raging flames in the Fire World made Su Yuqing, who had never left the capital, turn pale with fright.

However, she now fully understood the origin of the Li World's crisis.

“The strong prey on the weak; this is the way of heaven and earth.”

“It is true for all beings, and it is true for worlds as well.”

“The fate of the Li World's destruction was sealed the moment it unfortunately collided with the Fire World in the void.”

The Immortal Master sighed softly.

“For me, leveling that volcano would be a mere flick of the wrist.”

“But that would merely treat the symptoms, not the root cause. On the contrary, it would provoke an even stronger backlash from the Fire World.”

“Within a few years, an even larger volcano would surely rise from the ground.”

Upon hearing the Immortal Master's words, Su Yuqing couldn't help but show despair.

“Is there truly no other way?” she couldn't help but ask.

Seeing the expression on the Immortal Master’s face, and recalling his actions, Su Yuqing suddenly felt a dawning realization.

She quickly prostrated herself again, repeatedly kowtowing and pleading, “Please, Immortal Master, instruct me!”

After nine full kowtows, the Immortal Master gently waved his hand, stopping her prostrations.

He slowly said, “This is precisely why I want you to cultivate.”

“The balance of strength is not fixed by ancient rules. The current crisis of the Li World stems entirely from the enemy being strong and us being weak. If the situation were reversed, and the Li World became stronger than the Fire World, then not only could the danger of annihilation be averted, but perhaps the Li World could even devour the Fire World.”

“Achieving world ascension!”

As Li Fan uttered these words with conviction, he sensed the pervasive malice from the world that had surrounded him.

In an instant, it vanished like smoke!

Indeed.

When he began to act in the guise of an Immortal Master, even going so far as to deceive the young girl Su Yuqing, malice from the Li World surged towards him from all directions.

It was far more potent than the malice the Xuanyang Realm directed at cultivators!

Li Fan didn’t fear even the Heavenly Dao of the Xuanyang Realm, let alone this small Li World.

However, this constant feeling of being maliciously watched was quite uncomfortable.

He used a few minor tricks and finally managed to reverse it.

After all, what he had told Su Yuqing was not a lie.

It was a practical and feasible solution.

“How can the Li World ever become stronger than the Fire World?” Su Yuqing asked, her small face looking confused.

The Fire World she had seen in her dreams was utterly terrifying.

Not only was the entire world filled with lava, but it also contained countless wondrous flames that seemed to possess their own consciousness.

It was fundamentally not something a purely mortal world could resist.

Li Fan smiled slightly, looking at the somewhat bewildered Su Yuqing. “As the saying goes, 'Man’s will can conquer nature'!”

“To help the Li World overcome the Fire World, you, the people of the Li World, must do it yourselves!”

As he spoke, Li Fan extended his hand, and a small, white jade pagoda appeared in his palm.

“This is the Immortal Spirit Pagoda. With sufficient raw materials, it can continuously release an endless supply of spiritual energy, day and night.”

“Naturally, mortal bodies cannot help the Li World. Only by becoming cultivators can you qualify to participate in, or even lead, the struggle for the world.”

Su Yuqing looked at the Immortal Spirit Pagoda in Li Fan's hand and indeed felt waves of spiritual energy emanating from it.

However, as she looked at the Immortal Spirit Pagoda, Su Yuqing faintly sensed a hint of blood, which made her frown.

“This young girl’s senses are truly keen,” Li Fan thought to himself, observing Su Yuqing’s expression with perfect clarity and nodding inwardly.

That’s right. This so-called Immortal Spirit Pagoda was, in fact, casually refined by Li Fan using the Empire’s spiritual energy synthesis technology.

Its essence was to use large quantities of exotic beast flesh and blood to generate spiritual energy crystals, which were then decomposed into spiritual energy.

For this purpose, Li Fan had even made a special trip to the Beast Realm.

He collected a large quantity of exotic beast flesh and blood.

As for the feathers of the Xuanniao and Xu Ke’s essence blood, they were deep within the Beast Realm.

Given Li Fan’s current strength at the Golden Core stage, forcibly taking them would be difficult, so he temporarily set them aside.

Although the Empire’s spiritual energy synthesis technology had very low energy conversion efficiency, it had the advantage of being cheap to produce.

If exotic beasts could be raised on a large scale, resolving the issue of their flesh and blood supply, then spiritual energy could be generated almost endlessly.

For small worlds without spiritual veins, it was indeed a good method.

Li Fan did not conceal how the Immortal Spirit Pagoda generated spiritual energy.

Instead, he displayed the scene of the flesh-and-blood factory within it, revealing every minute detail to Su Yuqing.

Su Yuqing had never witnessed such a sight before; her face turned ashen, and she immediately threw up on the spot.

Li Fan snorted coldly. “Compared to the survival of an entire world, what do these few killings amount to?”

“What difference is there compared to the chicken, duck, fish, and meat you mortals eat daily?”

“Stop feigning!”

He scolded her without mercy.

Su Yuqing opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to retort.

But in the end, she fell silent.

Waving his hand to clear away the filth in the room, Li Fan explained the complete world-saving plan to Su Yuqing.

Step one: Select the most talented individuals in the Li World. Use the Immortal Spirit Pagoda to cultivate them into the Grand Li’s first batch of cultivators.

Step two: Send them deep into the Fire World to absorb and bring back the various flames that contain the world’s origin power.

Step three: The cultivators who have fused with powerful flames will use their own strength to transform the Grand Li.

With this ebb and flow, the Li World would inevitably grow stronger day by day.

While the Fire World would gradually fall into a disadvantageous position.

“This is merely the result of deduction; the specifics will need to be seen as we go. After all, a world’s struggle involves too high a level, something not all cultivators can fully foresee,” Li Fan sighed softly.

Su Yuqing firmly imprinted the Immortal Master’s words in her mind.

Because she had a premonition that the Immortal Master before her would not remain in Grand Li for long.

“The path of cultivation is arduous.”

“Immortal techniques also cannot be cultivated together.”

“I can only help you get started. For more, you might need to go to the Xuanyang Realm and explore yourselves!”

As he spoke, Li Fan tapped Su Yuqing’s forehead with a finger.

A total of twenty cultivation methods, including the 'Thousand Mechanisms Jade Universe Golden Tome,' appeared in her mind.

However, only the Golden Tome was a Nascent Soul-level cultivation method.

The rest were merely at the Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment levels.

These were ownerless cultivation methods Li Fan had collected during his various cycles of reincarnation.

“Cultivate the 'Thousand Mechanisms Jade Universe Golden Tome' yourself.”

“As for the others, you may impart them to suitable individuals,” Li Fan instructed.

“Immortal Master, are you leaving?” Su Yuqing couldn’t help but ask.

Li Fan smiled slightly. “I am but a transient visitor. I came to this world by chance, but I could not bear to see its inhabitants suffer, so I intervened to help. What could be done has been done. Of course, I will depart.”

As this was merely a resource for cultivating the Seated Immortal Art, Li Fan naturally wouldn’t waste too much time here.

He only needed to get things started, confident that Su Yuqing, with her talent as a Heavenly Dao incarnation, would be sufficient to lead the people of the Li World toward a new path.
