Chapter 1028 Tianyang Longevity
When Li Fan first gave birth to the initial Five Elements Cave Heaven, he had a faint sense of something unusual.
But at that time, in order to successfully give birth at the moment when the Cave Heaven appeared in the world, Li Fan didn't have time to think too much.
So, he ignored the subtle difference in feeling.
Until recently, Li Fan, who had upgraded the transformation stone, looked back at every detail he had experienced.
Only then did he discover something new.
"If everything goes as expected, there should be a new Five Elements Cave Heaven born in Tianlingzhou [the root of the world]. I will know when the time comes."
"However, the original Five Elements Great Cave Heaven of this world was absorbed and promoted by me. The world has suffered a loss, and it will take some time to give birth to new cave heavens."
"If my speculation is confirmed after verification, then the number of anchor points I can use should be increased."
Li Fan's eyes flickered with cold light: "Although it's not easy to find a newborn cave heaven, there are still many in the vast Xuanhuang Realm."
"More extreme, to annihilate the cave heaven and directly rebuild it..."
"This is also a good method."
There was a time when Li Fan wanted to increase the number of anchor points by refining the Golden Core in secret, seeking resources that were not in the light. It was then that he stumbled upon Ruomu.
Now, he can destroy the cave heavens of the Xuanhuang Realm without any scruples.
It's not that Li Fan's mentality has expanded, but there are not many things in the Xuanhuang Realm that can threaten him anymore.
...
Just when Li Fan was preparing to help Tianxuan Mirror escape from bondage, Qiao Gong Jushi had already made some gains.
He ran to find Li Fan excitedly, wanting to borrow the Essence of the Source Power.
"Thanks to the guidance of Daoist Fang, although his refining skills are a bit lacking and he hasn't received any formal training, he naturally does not have any thoughts. He always comes up with some unique ideas!"
"I have already outlined the plan to help Tianyang reforge the puppet body. Take a look!"
With that, Qiao Gong Jushi pointed to a void in the sky.
A puppet image clad in black metallic armor, looking imposing, appeared in front of Li Fan.
"Referring to some of the appearance of the ancestor and the wishes of Tianyang, I designed this appearance. I and Daoist Fang are very satisfied with it."
"But the ability to change appearance at will is not the main point."
Qiao Gong Jushi pointed to the puppet's image again, and the structure inside the puppet was revealed.
Channels resembling human blood vessels were spread throughout the puppet's body.
The golden Essence of Source Power flowed endlessly in it like a river.
"The most direct difference between the immortal puppet and the mortal puppet is that the immortal puppet can absorb external power like a real living being and continuously evolve and strengthen."
"Tianyang, as a body-transforming practitioner, becomes one with the puppet. Being both a practitioner and a puppet, it unexpectedly meets the most difficult condition to become an immortal puppet."
"So, from now on it's just a matter of adding some things to Tianyang's body!"
Li Fan frowned as he listened, "Is it just a simple accumulation of materials? Can this enhance Tianyang's strength? Now that he has reached the combined transformation stage, what will happen after refining the puppet?"
Qiao Gong Jushi was confident, "No problem! Tianyang's current state is like a practitioner who meets the conditions for ascension, but lacks the corresponding resources, so the transformation has been delayed."
"He is both a puppet and a practitioner. Since he already has a path to ascend as a practitioner, why bother looking for new methods in the Xuanhuang Realm?"
Hearing this, Li Fan suddenly understood.
For practitioners in the Xuanhuang Realm, in order to break through, they must abide by the rules set by the Ancestor and pass down the method.
But Tianyang, by chance, became an existence that is half puppet and half practitioner.
In addition to being able to follow the path of ascension as a practitioner, he can also follow the path of upgrading as an artifact.
Qiao Gong Jushi's eyes lit up, "After the refining is done, we cannot determine how strong he will be at the moment. But what we can be sure of is that he will definitely not be weaker than the longevity practitioners in the Xuanhuang Realm!"
Li Fan's eyes lit up, "In that case, go ahead and do as you see fit."
With that, Li Fan separated a body filled with gold Essence of Source Power from himself.
Qiao Gong Jushi was immediately attracted by the golden body.
"If your idea works, does that mean we can mass-produce longevity-level combat power?"
"I also know a little about Tianyang's body transformation path. As long as he practices this secret technique, transforms into a half puppet, half practitioner, and then ascends with the help of the Essence of Source Power..."
Qiao Gong Jushi's attention was still focused on the gold body.
After a while, he responded.
He shook his head and directly dismissed Li Fan's speculation, "I thought the same before. But..."
"After asking Tianyang about the details of the body transformation technique, I realized that it is not easy at all."
"Body transformation, especially transforming into a puppet, is very easy to lose oneself. If you lose your human nature and truly become a puppet, it can't be done without great determination and spirit. Tianyang's willpower is truly extraordinary."
Li Fan thought of the Eternal Remembrance from Tianyang's remains, and nodded silently.
"That's just one aspect. The bigger constraint is the Essence of Source Power," Qiao Gong Jushi pointed to the golden body and said.
"I know that what you have taken out is already extremely precious, but it is only enough to meet the most basic refining requirements."
"The disparity between immortality and mortality is too great. Without the baptism of immortal aura, relying solely on the Essence of Source Power..."
Qiao Gong Jushi paused, weighing his words, "I estimate that even ten times more won't be enough to meet the requirements."
"Just refining one puppet consumes so much. Where can we get enough to build in bulk?"
Upon hearing this, Li Fan did not agree.
For him, these two constraints were not a problem at all.
As long as the base number is large enough, there will always be individuals with exceptional determination.
And as long as there are enough believers and enough time, there will be enough Essence of Source Power accumulated.
As long as he can train a group of longevity-level fighters, all of this will be worthwhile.
The only concern is whether using the Essence of Source Power on such a large scale will attract the attention of the Faceless True Immortal.
Although theoretically, the True Immortal is no longer interested in the Essence of Source Power, the Flower of the Dao is still very close to the power of the Root of the Dao that the True Immortals seek.
If it reaches a certain level of power, attracting the attention of the True Immortal is not unexpected.
