Chapter 1123: All Spirits Commanding the True Immortal
As for the prison, the escape was so large scale that it was already in name only.
After the transfer of the remaining prisoners, even the entrance to the prison was no longer covered.
It was left abandoned.
Time passed slowly, and no one came here anymore. It was as if the world had forgotten about it.
After some time, Li Fan's figure slowly emerged.
"I was suppressed in the deepest part of the prison, and even I couldn't see the face clearly."
"The transfer required three transmission practitioners to come personally..."
"Interesting."
Instead of fleeing with the group of escaped cultivators right away, Li Fan hid near the entrance. His purpose was to explore and understand the inmate held in the deepest part of the prison which he couldn't approach in the past three years.
It wasn't that the formation at the deepest part was so sophisticated that Li Fan couldn't decipher it, but rather that the prison guards responsible for guarding were actually three combined Dao practitioners.
It seemed that only to suppress that one prisoner, even when the upper prison was broken and countless felons escaped, they remained indifferent and did not come out to stop it.
When the team dispatched by the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance arrived, during their transfer, Li Fan was able to see that prisoner.
He faintly felt a sense of familiarity.
But it was obscured by the secret technique and couldn't be completely confirmed.
"Before the completion of the Ten Thousand Spirits Great Formation, it's not advisable to stir up trouble again."
"Let's wait for the next world to explore the truth."
"Now the only thing to do is to wait for the right moment and witness the upheaval of the world!"
Li Fan looked towards the distant horizon, as if he could see the Ten Thousand Spirits Great Formation constantly lighting up in the thousands of mortal worlds.
The Ten Thousand Spirits Great Formation demonstrated to the group of felons was not the complete name of the formation.
This formation was derived from the final three years of the Disintegration Disc calculations.
It represented the highest level of formation that could be derived from the current state of the Disintegration Disc.
Based on the prototype of the Ten Thousand Spirits Great Formation that covered the Spirit Wood Realm, the Empire, and the Beast Realm, and further derivation, it created a shocking formation.
The full name of the formation is [Ten Thousand Spirits of Heaven and Earth, Refining the Souls of All Beings].
The main function of this formation, and the reason why Li Fan spared no effort to release the inmates from the prison and make them work for him, was the "Refining the Souls of All Beings" aspect.
It was similar to the Life Refinement Formation exhibited by Song and Song when they battled Senior Brother Zhang in the Meteorite Immortal Illusionary Realm, but it was vastly upgraded.
The formation caused harm using the thoughts of countless beings in heaven and earth.
However, after Li Fan's modifications...
Its power was multiplied by billions and trillions.
When Song and Song used the power of a whole city's mortals, they almost pushed Senior Brother Zhang to the brink, forcing him to reveal his Immortal Physique of Indestructibility.
But Li Fan, using thousands of small worlds and billions of beings in the Profound Yellow Realm, just to stop a True Immortal without a face for a moment.
With the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance annihilating the Spirit Wood Realm, during the three years that Li Fan spent hiding in the prison, he had been contemplating and replaying the final doomsday plan.
After all, it was his first time confronting the power of a True Immortal. Even if he relied on external forces and observed the battle from the sidelines, it still meant endless risks.
After all, these two were truly transcendent Immortals, not just foundational stage practitioners.
If it were so easy to outsmart them, how could they be worthy of the title of True Immortal?
Once he failed, it would be an irreversible situation.
Especially after the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance besieged them, and displayed their unexpected trump cards, directly exterminating the Spirit Wood Realm, Li Fan became more cautious than ever about the doomsday plan.
He calculated every possibility.
So, he discovered a problem that had been overlooked by him in the past.
In Li Fan's original plan, he first intended to use the power of the Immortal Land Immortals, and then, with the help of this transcendent power, provoke a reaction from the True Immortal without a face.
Indeed, living beings always instinctively react to things that threaten them.
According to Li Fan's simulated predictions, the True Immortal without a face and the Immortal Land Immortals should have seen each other and fought together first.
But he had neglected the fact that he was the instigator of this situation.
However, this was only in an ideal scenario.
If, after ascending to Immortality, their thought patterns were no longer the same as mortals.
Or, they sensed the presence of "Stillness" on Li Fan's body.
What if they didn't lock onto a worthy adversary at first, but instead targeted Li Fan?
If he didn't make any preparations and was locked onto by a True Immortal, he might not even have the time to escape the Netherworld and force the True Immortal to show itself.
The more he thought about this, the more restless Li Fan became.
So, he ultimately decided that he must find a way to delay the True Immortal for at least a little bit.
And the "Ten Thousand Spirits of Heaven and Earth, Refining the Souls of All Beings" formation was the final answer given by the Disintegration Disc.
The gap between cultivators and mortals, and between True Immortals and cultivators, was as vast as the heavens and the earth.
But when the quantity reached a certain level, it could produce a terrifying qualitative change.
"Diving into the boundless sea of countless beings' thoughts, even a True Immortal will surely be momentarily shaken."
"The time I gained from this momentary distraction may be the only chance for my escape."
Indeed, the power of a True Immortal could instantly destroy the Profound Yellow Realm.
But if things developed exactly as Li Fan had estimated, and after locking onto him, the True Immortal didn't just directly destroy the Profound Yellow Realm in order to capture this secretly scheming ant, then it would give Li Fan an opportunity.
"Hehe, in the thousands of mortal worlds, the thoughts of countless beings."
"This is an incredibly vast power. But no matter how I calculate, I can only delay them for a little bit of time."
"The gap in absolute strength..."
"Truly makes one yearn for it."
Li Fan stood with his hands behind his back, silent.
With the power of the True Immortal restraining them, those wretched prisoners would certainly dutifully complete the construction of the great formation.
Li Fan didn't need to worry about that.
And once the formation was completed, it would be beyond their control.
"The day the Refining the Souls of All Beings Formation is formed, will be the day of the extinction of the Profound Yellow Realm."
"It's nearly time, within a year."
During this time, Li Fan only needed to wait patiently.
At the final juncture of this world, Li Fan still had some loose ends to tie up.
He first went to the Tianling Prefecture, to the original location of the Five Elements Grand Cave.
Since the Five Elements Grand Cave, which had been gestating for an unknown number of years, was devoured by Li Fan, a new Five Elements Grand Cave had started to form in the invisible void known as the "Root of Heaven and Earth."
However, this process was particularly lengthy.
It was only now that the embryonic form of the cave was faintly visible.
Li Fan strolled in the void, activating the Error-Transcending Heavenly Dao technique and comprehending the principles of heaven and earth.
Feeling the rhythmic beats resembling a heartbeat, Li Fan squinted his eyes and carefully awaited the guidance from Stillness.
And from this treasure that was inherent to him, Li Fan faintly felt a dissatisfaction.
