So there Li Fan sat on the iron dunes, his physical body absorbing the evil energy to supplement his mood while he entered meditation to check the state of his Primordial Yin Infant at the divine court.
It had been previously shattered by a pat on the shoulder from the Thousand-faced Immortal, and now the whole infant resembled a glued-back-together broken porcelain doll, covered in spider-web like cracks.
But the Thousand-faced Immortal probably didn't intend to disperse his cultivation on purpose, because after checking, Li Fan found that the Primordial Yin True Essence's spine hadn't shattered, and the Extremely Evil Sword embryo was also intact, it was only the outer 'muscle skin' that had peeled and flaked off. And a large part of this Primordial Yin True Essence was hastily crafted for the sake of pushing boundaries and transformation.
Could it be that the Thousand-faced Immortal was reminding him that his foundation was unstable? That generous?
