Chapter 956: Li Fan Recklessly Sits on the Throne

"Sitting Heaven Art!"

Li Fan's eyes sparkled: "Excellent, this is my true path! Investing in cultivators is merely a minor approach. Absorbing the feedback from changes in the world, and even its ascension, that is the true unparalleled power!"

Li Fan, whose heart hadn't surged with emotion in a long time, grew more excited the more he thought: "Even powerful techniques like Dharma Transmission go against the power of heaven and earth, becoming part of the world's laws. Only then can one achieve transcendence."

"It's clear that the world's might is indeed beyond what any cultivator can resist."

"The Xuanhuang Realm has been completely eroded by Dharma Transmission, practically riddled with holes. Even if I wished to bring grace to the world, it would be incredibly difficult."

"It can barely protect itself; yet I still wish to cultivate by relying on feedback from Xuanhuang..."

Li Fan shook his head, momentarily abandoning this thought.

"However, the many minor worlds captured by Xuanhuang are my perfect testing grounds."

"Just like what happened in the Spirit Wood Realm, with Shang Tianci transporting Xuanhuang's wonders, supplemented by external resources and spiritual energy..."

Li Fan suddenly stood up, taking a deep breath.

"Indeed, this is the cultivation method most suited for me; it perfectly aligns with my plans throughout this lifetime."

"It truly feels like destiny, a unity of knowledge and action, with my heart naturally aligned with the heavens."

Growing more certain of how well the Sitting Heaven Art suited him, Li Fan decided on the path he would strive for in the future.

The only problem now was how to deduce and elevate the Sitting Immortal Art into the Sitting Heaven Art.

"While I could certainly obtain the method again through the Derivation Jade, still..."

Li Fan pondered for a moment, then suppressed the temptation of effortless gain.

"The Derivation Art, to put it plainly, is just a marvel of heaven."

"It most likely uses an exhaustive method to deduce cultivation techniques, and while it can quickly provide the desired technique, that technique would only be the best fit for the fictional owner of the technique envisioned during its derivation by the Derivation Jade."

"Not for the real me. Unless I'm willing to expose every secret within my body and soul, letting the Derivation Jade see everything without reservation."

"Hmph..."

Li Fan, of course, would never do such a thing.

"So, to seek the perfect Sitting Heaven Art, I still have to rely on myself."

Li Fan reached this conclusion.

To be honest, although Li Fan's comprehension was decent, wanting to deduce a heaven-defying cultivation technique that used world changes and ascension power as its resources...

He was still far from qualified!

Yet, Li Fan wasn't worried at all that he couldn't achieve it.

If one lifetime wasn't enough, then ten lifetimes. If ten lifetimes weren't enough...

He could also draw inspiration and reference from others!

The prodigies of the Xuanhuang Realm were countless; anything they could deduce or conceive, all those divine abilities and cultivation techniques, would ultimately become Li Fan's!

As long as he returned to Anchor Year 1, all their strenuous thoughts and ideas would become secrets known only to Li Fan.

"To deduce the Sitting Heaven Art, I won't hesitate to share the Sitting Immortal Art with others."

"Of course, I must choose the candidates with the highest comprehension and suitability."

"Coincidentally, I've already planned for my next life to truly work from behind the scenes and verify my conjecture..."

Li Fan already had a rough plan in mind.

"Yes, while helping the myriad worlds ascend in this lifetime, I can collect data."

A feeling of complete understanding and sudden enlightenment washed over him.

These eight characters perfectly described Li Fan's current state of mind.

"Cultivators bring back cultivation feedback. What surprises will the world's feedback bring me...?"

Li Fan couldn't help but inwardly anticipate it.

Lost in his thoughts, immersed in fantasy, he didn't know how much time had passed.

However, a thought-devil from the Three Calamities and Hundred Tribulations Bright God Method transmitted an unusual movement.

"Hmm?"

Li Fan quickly pinpointed the demon god.

It possessed a Nascent Soul cultivator named Feng Qiran.

This person was careful and cautious; ever since acquiring this Divine Possession secret technique, he had never revealed it in front of others.

He simply cultivated in secret.

But some things couldn't be avoided simply by being cautious.

One day, Feng Qiran brushed past a young cultivator in green robes.

Moments later, he was horrified to discover he had lost control of his body.

He couldn't even release his demon god avatar.

The green-robed cultivator scrutinized Feng Qiran, revealing an expression that was both amused and exasperated.

Then, without a word, a thin line, like an abyss yet also like a bright mirror, appeared between Feng Qiran and the young cultivator. Under the dim, indistinct light, it wasn't long before the young cultivator became identical to Feng Qiran!

He extended his hands towards the utterly bewildered Feng Qiran; the thin line exploded, and the two merged into one.

At the same time, through the demon god left by Li Fan within his body, Feng Qiran established a reverse connection with Li Fan.

There were no formal words, just a dark and mysterious force that, following the invisible link in the void, infiltrated Li Fan's sea of consciousness.

Li Fan had long sensed the anomaly; how could he not take precautions?

In an instant, a myriad of demon gods appeared.

A sinister ghost realm descended upon his sea of consciousness, five eerie blood moons appeared in the sky, and Li Fan, with a ferocious expression, stared at Feng Qiran, who was surrounded by countless demon gods below.

"How dare you invade my sea of consciousness..."

"You're truly seeking death!"

"Heheheh..."

Li Fan laughed maniacally, immediately preparing to launch an attack.

He had already realized that the Feng Qiran before him was actually Mo Rubin, the Dharma King of the Xuan Tian Sect.

He didn't know why Mo Rubin had changed his identity to that of a young Dharma Transmitter and ventured out alone.

However, since he hadn't revealed his true identity yet, Li Fan decided to test the mettle of this Dharma King of the Xuan Tian Sect.

Showing no mercy, the myriad ghost gods roared, spraying black beams of light towards Mo Rubin.

Those were materialized consciousness attacks.

It wasn't just Li Fan's power alone; it was also the spiritual consciousness drawn and borrowed from countless cultivators practicing Divine Possession.

Coupled with Li Fan's own extraordinary spiritual consciousness strength...

Li Fan believed that even if his opponent were an Immortal Celestial Venerable, they would suffer severe damage!

"Wait..."

As expected, before Mo Rubin could finish his sentence, his spiritual consciousness avatar was engulfed by terrifying destructive power.

Unable to even resist for a moment, it was annihilated, turned to dust, and expelled from Li Fan's sea of consciousness.

Li Fan was quite satisfied with his achievement. Although it felt a bit like a sneak attack, he had, after all, repelled an invasion from an immortal expert head-on.

Feeling the exhaustion transmitted from the cultivators possessed by the myriad demon gods, Li Fan couldn't help but feel a little regret: "It's a pity it's only a single strike's power; it can't last long."

Without withdrawing his attention, Li Fan continued to wait for Mo Rubin's return.

Just as Li Fan expected, it was merely a wisp of consciousness that had been dispelled.

Mo Rubin had not given up on contacting Li Fan.

The dark and unfathomable power once again followed the connection in the void, reaching Li Fan's sea of consciousness.
