Chapter 801: Spirit Wood Formulates a Plan

The Spiritwood Realm.

Li Fan and Tian Yang stood in the sky, their spiritual senses slowly sweeping across the small world below. Li Fan couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of creation.

This was a small world devoid of cultivators and humans. Only tree-beings, born from spiritwood, lived here.

In fact, according to information later declassified by the Myriad Immortals Alliance in the 115th reincarnation, thousands of years ago, the Spiritwood Realm was a barren small world, devoid of life. However, with a spirit tree taking root and sprouting here, the small world gradually became vibrant with life.

Li Fan looked at the thousand-zhang-tall giant tree not far away and the tree-beings living on it, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes. "It's a pity this tree is bound to this small world and cannot be transplanted. Otherwise, by just cutting off its branches and planting them in other small worlds, the problem of spiritual energy scarcity could be solved once and for all."

It seemed Li Fan's blatant and unconcealed ill will attracted the giant tree's attention. The thousand-zhang giant tree suddenly swayed without wind. As its branches rustled, tens of thousands of tree-beings, like a swarm of locusts, flew menacingly towards Li Fan.

Li Fan snorted coldly, "They're truly seeking their own demise!"

"Tian Yang!"

The listless Tian Yang heard his senior brother's call but didn't understand his meaning, casting a puzzled glance at him. Li Fan's face twitched. Then, seeing Tian Yang's innocent expression, he could only point to the approaching army of tree-beings.

Only then did Tian Yang react. With a roar, Tian Yang's body instantly expanded to the size of the spirit tree itself. Black flames emanated from his entire being, instantly incinerating any tree-beings that dared to approach.

"Easy there, don't hurt our little sapling!" Li Fan quickly transmitted.

This battle was practically without suspense. Most tree-beings in the Spiritwood Realm possessed cultivation equivalent to the Qi Condensation stage. Foundation Establishment tree-beings were one in ten thousand. Golden Core tree-beings were already elder-level existences within their tribe.

The strongest among the tree-beings was the Tree-being Chieftain. Capable of communicating telepathically with the spirit tree itself, she was practically invincible within this realm. Yet, her combat power was merely at the Nascent Soul stage. Facing Tian Yang, who was at the late Stage of Soul Transformation, she had no power to resist whatsoever.

After nearly half of the tree-beings were annihilated, they were forced to surrender.

The Tree-being Chieftain had a rather delicate appearance, noticeably different from the crude looks of other tree-beings.

"Illustrious Immortal, please show mercy!" Her voice sounded somewhat sorrowful, and surprisingly, it was a female voice.

Li Fan, however, was completely unmoved: "Surrender! Or die!"

The Tree-being Chieftain bowed deeply, "We are willing to surrender."

"Hand over the Heart of Spiritwood, and your tribe will be safe. Don't make me do it myself, or this realm will turn into scorched earth once more," Li Fan said coldly.

The Tree-being Chieftain's body trembled slightly. She didn't understand why this cultivator, who was clearly visiting for the first time, already knew about the Heart of Spiritwood. However, things had reached this point, and she had no choice left.

She opened her mouth and spat out a cluster of green light, which slowly flew into Li Fan's hand. Instantly refining it, Li Fan faintly felt that the spirit tree in this world had become a part of his body. And the lives of the tree-beings born from the spirit tree were now at his command.

The Spiritwood Realm thus became Li Fan's property. A cross-tier power strike was simply something the mere tree-beings could not resist.

At this moment, Li Fan had arrived at the center of the spirit tree. There was a massive hollow space here. Hundreds of millions of roots converged here from all over the Spiritwood Realm. And all of the spirit tree's countless branches also originated from this spot. The branches and roots were like the spirit tree's tentacles and eyes, allowing it to sense everything happening within this small world.

However, due to the change of ownership of the Heart of Spiritwood, all these functions had now been transferred to Li Fan.

Using the spirit tree, Li Fan perceived every detail of the small world. A familiar feeling surged in his heart.

"It's the same method as when Little Black occupied the Heavenly Dao of the Beast Seed Realm," Li Fan mused. "However, this spirit tree also played a role in restoring vitality to this world, so it's a bit simpler by comparison."

"Time to test out the Heaven Transformation divine ability." A thought stirred in Li Fan's mind.

As his thoughts willed it, mountains and rivers suddenly emerged on the Spiritwood Realm's land. Li Fan transformed the world as he pleased, just as Mr. Bai had done within his own Grotto-heaven previously.

However, after only half a day, Li Fan's world-altering activities were forced to stop. It turned out that the spirit tree's own power couldn't sustain such extravagant use by Li Fan. It needed time to rest and recover.

"Boring." Li Fan shook his head slightly, his figure flickered, and he appeared at the very top of the spirit tree.

Looking down upon the land of the Spiritwood Realm, a magnificent and colossal formation materialized before his eyes. It perfectly merged with the world itself, without any flaws. Moreover, this formation was constantly changing and progressing every moment.

"The Infinite Array." Li Fan's eyes narrowed. In that instant, relying on the immense computing power of the Terminal Disintegration Disk, he instantly designed a grand formation tailored for the Spiritwood Realm in his mind. Its core concept, however, came from Zhang Zhiliang's Infinite Array, the foremost formation master of the Cloud Sea.

With the existence of the Terminal Disintegration Disk, his envisioned Infinite Array finally completed its last puzzle piece. A formation that would constantly evolve without limits, it would be the nightmare of all formation masters.

"If this grand formation is completed, all ordinary methods of breaking arrays will be useless," Li Fan thought. "It can only be brute-forced. To cover the entire Spiritwood Realm with the Infinite Array, it would be impossible without five or six Dao Harmonization cultivators arriving simultaneously. If I use some heavenly treasures to further strengthen the formation, and then place Dao Harmonization combat power at the critical array eyes, it would be unbreakable unless a Celestial Venerable of Longevity personally arrived!"

The illusory formation diagram slowly faded from Li Fan's eyes.

"As the defensive grand formation for the headquarters of the Myriad Realms Alliance, its prestige is certainly sufficient. Now, what's lacking are the resources needed to build the formation."

Li Fan immediately thought of the Five Elder Council. At this point in time, the Five Elder Council still harbored various intentions towards the Myriad Immortals Alliance, eager to make a move. And Li Fan possessed a plethora of information that would interest them and could be used for exchange.

The only thing he needed to consider was who to approach in this reincarnation. Zhou Qing'ang's superior, or Tian Liang Wang Po. Or perhaps... Figures flashed through Li Fan's mind.

These originally absolute secrets, in Li Fan's eyes, all transformed into negotiable chips.

Slowly, Li Fan began to form some ideas. Although the Five Elder Council had claimed to be evenly matched in the many previous reincarnations he experienced, their performance had been rather lackluster.

"Let me fully assist you then," Li Fan murmured. "Let's see just how profound the Myriad Immortals Alliance's true heritage is." Li Fan's gaze was profound.

In this life, he would watch the tigers fight from afar!
