Chapter 1044 Fill the Gap with the Pill
The withered paper figure struggled in Li Fan's hands like some kind of living creature. Its expression was angry and eerie. It even emitted a faint, sharp cry, twisting and trying to break free with all its might.
But it was destined not to escape from Li Fan's grasp.
After briefly explaining the origins of the paper figures from the Du'e Sect to Mo Ruxius, Li Fan exerted a little force, and the paper figure in his hand let out a wail. Then the yellow color gradually faded, and the paper figure became transparent.
But the faint outline remained, still existing in the Xuanghuang Realm.
"If you hadn't reminded me, brother Xingwang, I really wouldn't have noticed the paper figures all over the Xuanghuang Realm now!" Mo Ruxius exclaimed with surprise and anger. "This Du'e Sect is truly seeking death!"
"You know, although the method is extremely despicable, it's indeed effective. Rooting in the world, existing alongside the Xuanghuang world. Even if I eliminate them in this way, they can still rely on the imprints left in the world to regenerate. No wonder the Former Sovereign of Transcendence didn't have a good way to deal with the Du'e Sect." As he spoke, Li Fan pulled out another paper figure from the dark space and crushed it.
"In any era, there are always parasitic figures like this in the world. This is also the reason why some people in the school used to oppose saving Xuanghuang and suggest leaving on their own."
"If the world is truly saved successfully, and the Du'e Sect reappears... that would truly be disgusting," Mo Ruxius's expression also turned very grim.
"No matter. The Xuanghuang Realm has reached this point and is beyond salvation. The Du'e Sect's end will be buried in the Immortal Ruins, along with the Xuanghuang Realm." Li Fan remained calm.
Mo Ruxius also calmed down, "Brother Xingwang, you're right. The important thing is to focus on the task at hand."
"The forbidden formation is about to be completed, so you should prepare in advance. We can start the operation at any time."
Li Fan nodded in agreement.
Watching Mo Ruxius walk away, Li Fan had a very different thought from what he said.
"Hoping that the missing King Xuantian will lead the escape to the Dark Star Sea..."
"I'm afraid the result will disappoint you. But it's also understandable, that the living should be seen, and the dead should be seen as well. The charismatic personality of King Xuantian is indeed worth his Twelve War Kings toil to search for his traces even after ten thousand years."
"The savior of Xuanghuang, huh."
Li Fan's face showed no joy or sorrow as he quietly returned to the Spirit Wood Realm.
Compared to the desolate scene at the beginning of this world, the current Spirit Wood Realm truly had the air of a united world.
The concentration of spiritual energy was no longer inferior to that of the ordinary areas in the Xuanghuang Realm. The array path and refining techniques in reserve were even more stable than in the Xuanghuang Realm.
The various forces in the Spirit Wood Realm were carrying out tasks according to Li Fan's will.
After integrating all the popular pill formulas of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, the Medicine King Sect successfully developed a pill called the "Gap-filling Pill". Although the name was unremarkable, it was derived from the phrase "The Dao has gaps, so fill it with the pill". After swallowing it, cultivators would gain a large amount of cultivation and rapidly advance in realms.
Even better, the Gap-filling Pill could postpone the bottlenecks caused by Heavenly Tribulations. As long as the pills were continuously taken, there would be no bottleneck troubles.
Of course, the side effects were also quite powerful. The more Gap-filling Pills one took, the stronger the dependence became. It was not about addiction, but after taking too many pills, the amount of cultivation obtained from self-cultivation would decrease. In the end, one could only rely on the Gap-filling Pills for cultivation. However, the cultivation obtained from each pill was fixed, and the higher the realm, the more cultivation was needed.
According to the deduction of Liu Ruchen and others, the Gap-filling Pill could support cultivators up to the Nascent Soul realm.
Beyond that, even if one took pills for a lifetime, it would be difficult to accumulate enough cultivation.
The side effects of the Gap-filling Pill were not limited to this.
Although the Gap-filling Pill was called "filling the gap in the heavens", it was actually just a pill to obtain cultivation, with no miraculous powers capable of altering the heavens and earth. However, after swallowing the Gap-filling Pill, cultivators would subtly hold the unrealistic idea of filling the gap in the heavens.
Wanting to fill the gap in the heavens, while only being in the Nascent Soul realm at most, would just lead to self-destruction.
According to Liu Ruchen, the name of the Gap-filling Pill was not chosen by them randomly. It was based on the resonance with the rules of the world and the Dao between heaven and earth when the pill was formed.
As for why a pill that increased cultivation could receive the name "Gap-filling", the Medicine King Sect and others were also puzzled.
But that didn't prevent the use of the Gap-filling Pill.
Li Fan did not pay much attention to its side effects. With the distribution of a large number of Gap-filling Pills, the cultivation level of cultivators in various small worlds also increased rapidly.
Soon, hundreds of Core Formation cultivators emerged.
The divine doppelganger Li Qing also led them into the Secret Realm of the Morning Sun Sect according to the plan.
This was the first feasible investigation. If successful, the Spirit Wood Realm would be able to mass-produce Yuan Ying cultivators in the future.
...
On the other hand, the progress of transforming Tianyang by the Ingenious Craftsman was much slower.
After all, theory always differs from practice.
The difficulties in truly building an immortal-level puppet were even greater than imagined. Fortunately, the Ingenious Craftsman, the Venerable Fang Zaiji, and Tianyang were all enjoying the process. After observing for a while, Li Fan chose not to disturb them.
"As long as I can obtain their research before this world ends, that's all that matters."
In the underground secret room, Li Fan's mind settled.
As if in a trance, his vision continued to rise, reaching the sky, overlooking the land of the Spirit Wood Realm.
In Li Fan's eyes, the vast Spirit Wood Realm was only the size of a palm.
Everywhere shone with a moist green light, and the large array seemed like complex patterns carved on the surface of the world, faintly visible.
After the Disintegration and Separation Disc completed its upgrade and transformation, Li Fan once again refined the array of the Spirit Wood Realm.
It could be said that this small world could now be regarded as a large magic treasure of Li Fan.
Li Fan's heart trembled, and he called up the True Review panel.
The True Review prompt came as well.
"Do you want to use an idle anchor point to replace a bound item?"
Li Fan pondered for a moment and ultimately chose not to make a decision for the time being.
Although the development of the Spirit Wood Realm to its current size was not easy, if Li Fan had another lifetime, he could definitely rebuild it and even do better.
Anchor points were hard to come by, and if they were to be used to replace bound items, they should only be used on items that were extremely difficult to reproduce, and once lost, would be difficult to get again.
"I have used three anchor points. The initial anchor point was the moment I first crossed into this world."
"The second anchor point was at the peak of the Disintegration Mountain, when the Ocean Pearl was the miraculous object for establishing the foundation and reaching the later stage of cultivation."
"The third anchor point was also at the Disintegration Mountain, with the True Review as the miraculous object and the later stage of cultivation as well."
"Perhaps after this world ends, I can anchor again."
