Chapter 969: Stone Tablet Becomes History Book

The Silk-Drawing Divine Ability was something Li Fan comprehended when he was transformed into a thread-figure at the Root of Heaven and Earth. It involved tracing back to the origin, returning to the primordial state of non-existence before heaven and earth.

In Li Fan's vision, the horizontal and vertical threads weaving the Creation Stone Tablet became increasingly dense.

This also meant that this supreme treasure of heaven and earth was about to take its final form.

Li Fan, meanwhile, guided the threads drawn from Sima Changkong, attempting to connect them with the Creation Stone Tablet.

In truth, Li Fan wasn't very confident about this, as it was his first time seeing the true Creation Stone Tablet.

However, letting it disappear right before his eyes would truly be a pity.

He might as well give it a try!

To Li Fan's pleasant surprise, as the threads formed from Sima Changkong drew near, a powerful suction seemed to emanate from the stone tablet, without any deliberate manipulation.

The threads quickly tightened, then were continuously drawn into the threads weaving the stone tablet.

Just like a ball of yarn unraveling completely in an instant, Sima Changkong's body utterly dispersed.

The Creation Stone Tablet, flickering uncertainly, also seemed to have gathered a bit of dust.

Li Fan's mind was alert; he retreated a little to a safe distance, observing carefully.

Like fallen leaves returning to their roots or ripe fruit dropping to the ground, once the stone tablet was recreated by heaven and earth, no unusual phenomena appeared around it. The ancient, greenish-gray stone tablet showed no trace of being an extraordinary treasure; it floated silently in the air.

Perhaps due to the pull of the threads formed from Sima Changkong, the Creation Stone Tablet did not move to another location.

It remained in the small mountain temple, making it seem as though Li Fan's attempt had succeeded.

However, what Li Fan found somewhat strange was that Sima Changkong had not reappeared.

He had simply vanished, or perhaps...

"Had he merged with the Creation Stone Tablet?" Li Fan speculated.

While Li Fan was still observing in secret, new changes began to occur on the Creation Stone Tablet.

Suddenly, dense, blood-red characters emerged on the tablet, and these characters then flowed like fresh blood, transforming into trickling streams.

Subsequently, more and more blood-characters appeared, and the trickling streams gradually became surging rivers.

They covered the entire stone tablet.

Dazzling red light instantly burst forth. When Li Fan looked again, he discovered that an entire side of the tablet had incredibly flipped up like a book page, seemingly suspended outside the main tablet!

"This is..." Li Fan's pupils constricted sharply.

The tablet's transformation continued.

Page after page of the stone tablet, filled with blood-red characters, flipped continuously like sheets of paper, at an ever-increasing speed. The main body of the stone tablet also grew thinner and thinner, until finally, after the complete transformation was finished...

A stone book, emitting a faint blood-gold light, thus appeared before Li Fan!

Compared to the previous Creation Stone Tablet, this stone book possessed an added aura of sacredness and ancient vicissitude.

The strange phenomena gradually subsided, and the light emanating from the stone book slowly receded inward.

It hung peacefully in the air.

However, Li Fan keenly perceived that the stone book seemed to be gradually fading. It wasn't disappearing or changing location, but rather hiding itself.

"It seems that in this era, the Sima family's Bloodline Records will no longer exist in the world."

"Instead, what stands before me is this Creation Chronicle."

After observing for a long time, Li Fan had an inkling.

"It seems Sima Changkong's power was not enough to become a suitable vessel like the Senior Tablet. However, by a strange twist of fate, the Bloodline Records within him had a rather peculiar effect on the Creation Stone Tablet."

"Hmm, perhaps the Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang Realm intentionally facilitated this change."

Standing before the Creation Chronicle for a long time, Li Fan mused to himself.

With the birth of the Creation Chronicle, the space previously filled with nothingness was now filled. The previously pitch-black void area returned to normal.

However, just like the previous fishing pond, under normal circumstances, cultivators could not see this Creation Chronicle at all.

Besides beings like Li Fan who had witnessed its birth firsthand, others would need a certain fortuitous encounter to be lucky enough to glimpse it.

Slowly walking up to the Creation Chronicle, the scene before Li Fan's eyes abruptly changed.

A long river of blood, like a waterfall, descended from the sky. It filled Li Fan's entire vision.

Within that long river, Li Fan vaguely saw countless rapidly changing images.

With just a quick glance, Li Fan felt a little dizzy and was forced to look away.

"The Creation Chronicle's own power has a protective mechanism, preventing prying eyes from external beings."

After resting for a moment, Li Fan looked towards the long river of blood again.

This time, he only took a macroscopic overview, without focusing on the details within the river.

Sure enough, the accompanying accumulated dizziness was greatly reduced. In this exploration, Li Fan made a new discovery.

This long river of blood was constantly being generated, endlessly extending.

These were all events happening in the Xuanhuang Realm at that very moment.

From a visual perspective, Li Fan felt as if he was being swept along by the long river of blood, drifting further and further from its source.

To clearly see the surroundings, he could barely manage it by widening his eyes.

But to gaze into the distance and peer at the river's end, he would have to withstand the immense pressure that accumulated as he moved upstream.

While immersed in the long river of blood, it wasn't long before Li Fan felt a wave of spiritual exhaustion.

It was as if he had experienced a cycle of reincarnation in a short period; he unexpectedly felt an inexplicable urge to take a short nap.

Fortunately, the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Chant automatically activated, dispelling this feeling of weakness from his mind.

Li Fan immediately grew wary, and temporarily withdrew from the long river of blood.

"Hmm?"

Only then did he notice that, at some point, a strand of white hair had appeared on his head.

Li Fan subconsciously looked at his 'Return to Truth' panel.

Name: Li FanCultivation Level: Mid-Nascent SoulPhysical Age: 63/599Mental Age: 1379/9999

"It's only been 13 years since the anchoring, so my physical age should only be 32. Yet it's already 63..."

"My mental age, however, hasn't changed, which suggests the protection of the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Chant is effective."

"It seems the Creation Chronicle is indeed not something mortals can easily peer into."

Li Fan frowned slightly: "It's not just the problem of accelerated aging."

"All information from the Xuanhuang Realm since the creation of heaven and earth is stored within it. That long river of blood is simply too vast and turbulent; if one truly wishes to find specific information from it, how to pinpoint key temporal nodes is an even greater challenge."

"Otherwise, one would likely die of old age before even finding the desired target."

"Unless..."

"An Eternal Life realm being, coexisting with heaven and earth, or a sufficiently large group unafraid of life and death, could explore different nodes of the long river of blood. Each time bringing back a bit of useful information, they could, like a puzzle, slowly complete history."

Li Fan sighed slightly: "Indeed, this is a bit too fanciful. How could a wondrous item capable of creating Eternal Life realm beings be so easily mastered?"

"However, with the Creation Chronicle now fixed here, for me, it is also an immense stroke of luck."

Two more chapters will be completed around two o'clock.

Don't wait up, go to bed first.
