Chapter 1105 The Birth and Destruction of Xuanhuang
Doubts remained, but they still had great trust in Zhang Haobo, who had repeatedly led them to survive dangerous situations.
Not a single person chose to turn back, all of them continued to follow obediently, embarking on an unknown journey.
Watching the group of people slowly leave, Li Fan also fell into deep thought.
"Even among a group of ordinary people, there will be those like Zhang Haobo, who have a premonition before the disaster arrives."
"Not to mention the countless cultivators in the Xuanhuang realm."
"It seems that perhaps I have been too optimistic. Although everything is arranged with enough secrecy, it cannot guarantee that someone with a destined fate will not discover something unusual due to various coincidences."
"The best way to cover up something is to attract people's attention with something else."
Li Fan's eyes flashed, and he had an idea in his mind in an instant.
But for now, he decided to quietly watch the spectacle of the "Burning Sea of Crimson Flames".
Not long after Zhang Haobo and the others left,
The Crimson Flame, who had been sitting cross-legged, finally took action.
The coiling flame dragon on its body showed excitement in its eyes, instantly transforming into countless streams of red flames, rushing fiercely towards every part of the sea of clouds.
The seawater heated up at a terrifying speed, and fear spread in the hearts of the living beings that had not yet left the sea of clouds.
Faced with such a crisis, some cultivators rose up to fight back.
But the highest among them was only in the Nascent Soul realm, how could they be a match for the enhanced version of the Crimson Flame.
Li Fan's attention did not focus on the rapidly dying lives.
Instead, he quietly observed the changes in the world itself.
"Generation in destruction."
"Resurgence in ruins."
The "Burning Sea of Crimson Flames" lasted for three months.
The ocean dried up, the land turned crimson, and the azure sea turned into deep valleys.
But to Li Fan, who saw all these scenes from beginning to end, he faintly felt a hidden vitality within.
"This is the Xuanhuang Birth and Destruction Transformation."
"Understanding this, I can now advance to the Nascent Soul realm at any time. And, just like the Five Elements Great Cave in the Nascent Soul realm. Once I advance, I will definitely be the strongest among the Nascent Soul cultivators."
"Unfortunately..."
"My aspirations do not end here."
Li Fan took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the restless spiritual power within him.
"The changes in birth and destruction in a specific area of the Xuanhuang realm, how can they compare to the instinctive response of the entire world in the crisis of annihilation?"
Li Fan recalled his insights from studying "The Record of Mending the Heavens" over the years.
The world is like a person.
When faced with a life-and-death crisis, one often generates power beyond their limits.
The world is no different.
When the crisis of annihilation arrives, the Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang realm will undergo various inscrutable self-transformation in that moment, seeking a glimmer of hope.
The resulting changes will far exceed those in normal stable periods.
"If I succeed, my strength after advancing to the Nascent Soul realm will surpass my estimates."
"So..."
"No one can stop me!"
Li Fan's eyes were filled with indifference as he turned and left.
...
Lingmu Realm.
Oudaozi carefully examined the corpse in front of him.
"Incredible, incredible."
"Is this really a creation of your Excellency Shangshi? If you hadn't personally told me, I would almost believe that this is the skin shed by an immortal."
"After all, it gives me the same feeling as when Shang Tian was around."
A body emitting a faint golden light lay flat in the air.
The golden light made it impossible to see the facial features.
But the sacred aura it emitted filled Oudaozi with awe and greed.
After hearing Oudaozi's conclusion, Li Fan nodded with satisfaction.
This fabricated immortal skin was his trump card to stir up trouble in the Xuanhuang realm.
The body was purchased with a large sum of money, coming from the well-preserved remains of a cultivator who had lived thousands of years ago.
He then painstakingly used the essence of golden primordial force to infuse it with a power beyond mortal affairs.
And to make the disguise even more realistic,
Li Fan extracted some abilities from the artifacts he had obtained from the fishing pond and placed them on the corpse.
For example, whenever a cultivator came close to the corpse, their emotions would be amplified almost to the point of losing their rationality.
And, after being attacked, the corpse would actively teleport away.
When someone touched the corpse, the pure and mutated spiritual energy hidden within it would be infused into their bodies, instantly increasing their cultivation base.
All of this was done to make the performance as authentic as possible.
"Even the Longevity Emperor, I believe, would be interested in the legendary immortal remains."
"So let's make the commotion bigger."
In addition to these tangible benefits, Li Fan also made some secret modifications to this so-called immortal skin.
This would surely surprise the person who ultimately obtained it.
Covering up the power of the faceless immortal, it avoided the deduction of the origin of the skin by those cultivators skilled in divination.
In the end, Li Fan even made some final adjustments, and two all-black puppets walked in and carried the "immortal skin" away.
They were off to carry out Li Fan's mission.
From appearance to disappearance, they did so quietly and without a trace,
Even if Li Fan was not their instigator, it would be difficult to discover their whereabouts.
These two puppets were the result of the craftsmen of the Tianji Realm after years of unremitting research.
Although they still hadn't unraveled the nature of the dark power, their application of it had reached a certain level.
The pitch-black puppets perfectly embodied the characteristics of the dark power.
They could disappear and reappear from the "cracks" in the world, just like the dark power.
Their presence couldn't be locked down or detected by divine sense.
And they had a strong suppressing effect on spiritual power.
Ordinary means of attack could hardly cause any damage to them.
The only downside was that their destructive capabilities were limited, and they could only carry out covert missions.
Furthermore, due to their departure from the Immortal Realm, these puppets could not stay outside for an extended period.
Every so often, they had to return to the Dark Realm to replenish their dark power.
In any case, Li Fan was very satisfied with these pitch-black puppets.
Handing the task over to them, they would hardly show any flaws.
After seeing off Oudaozi, Li Fan went alone to a secluded space.
On the screen, there were continuously flashing images of young faces.
Accompanying the images was a long list of their personality traits.
"There are countless ordinary people in the small worlds, but it is still difficult to find someone with the pure heart and sincerity of Mr. Bai."
"Especially the influence of the Longevity Emperor's power, which has already affected many small worlds."
"In recent years, the number of new births has significantly decreased."
"There's no other choice. We can only resort to influencing them through education if they are not naturally gifted."
