Chapter 125 - Chapter 1407: Slices of Xuanhuang

"The Heavenly Law World was destroyed long ago. Even my memories of it are fading. Yet, this person can recreate it…"

"And he claims it was made for me? Does he possess the power to read minds?"

"True Immortal methods are truly unfathomable."

Countless thoughts flashed through the Healer's mind.

Finally, they coalesced into a wry smile. "Senior, why bother with such…"

As if anticipating his words, the young man raised a hand, interrupting him. "It should be your honor that I even deign to interact with you."

"However…"

"If you dislike it, I can simply destroy it."

The faint smile on the young True Immortal's face vanished, replaced by an indifferent coldness.

It was the true gaze of one who viewed all beings as ants.

Even colder than the Healer's own gaze when facing the inhabitants of the Xuanhuang World!

The nonexistent intimacy between them evaporated. The Healer saw a bottomless chasm open between them. The young True Immortal on the other side rose into the clouds, the ground beneath him ascending.

He looked down upon the Healer.

Like prey targeted by an ancient predator, the Healer's heart pounded.

Then, with a wave of the young True Immortal's hand, the Heavenly Law World, the home he yearned for, crumbled into ashes!

Even knowing it was an illusion, even knowing he faced a True Immortal, witnessing the destruction of the Heavenly Law World before him ignited a desperate urge to fight.

But it was a fleeting impulse.

As if sensing his thoughts, the scene within the void shifted.

It became the current Xuanhuang World!

Unlike the empty Heavenly Law World, this one teemed with life.

Countless figures moved about, cultivating and living as if they were real.

The young True Immortal smiled again, the chasm between them disappearing.

Walking across the Xuanhuang World, he spoke to the Healer trailing behind him. "Ordinarily, you wouldn't be worthy of conversing with me."

"Nor would I have any interest in interacting with mortals. Even if you stand at the pinnacle of the lower realm, as long as you haven't taken that step, it remains true."

The Healer's expression shifted. He opened his mouth to speak, but only managed a resigned, "I'm aware of that, Senior."

The young True Immortal nodded, seemingly pleased with his response. Then, with a sigh, he repeated, "Ordinarily."

"But so many True Immortals perished in the great calamity. So few survived. It's truly lonely."

"Such a pity. Such a pity," Li Fan lamented.

"So, for those of you with the potential to become like me, I might alter my approach. I might even lend a hand, helping you break through the barrier between mortal and Immortal…"

"Perhaps."

The Healer's heart trembled at these words.

Before he could ponder whether the young True Immortal was serious or mocking, Li Fan pointed at the illusory Xuanhuang World. "Your methods are clever for a mortal, but to me…"

"They're laughable."

"Thousands of years of effort. If you had focused on your own cultivation, you might have already ascended. What couldn't you achieve as an Immortal?"

The Healer wanted to speak, but seeing the young True Immortal's condescending demeanor, he swallowed his words, remembering his opponent's cultivation.

But the young True Immortal wasn't finished.

With an enigmatic expression, Li Fan spoke in a dreamy tone. "Resurrection is not such a difficult feat."

"Even creation from nothingness is but a thought away!"

His white robes fluttered as he appeared before the Healer.

He extended a hand, placing it upon the Healer's white hair.

Boom!

The vibrant Xuanhuang World before the Healer froze, then rapidly shrunk into a palm-sized crystal.

He was back in the void of the Star Sea, surrounded by endless darkness.

The Healer stared at the "Xuanhuang Crystal," stunned.

He picked it up with trembling hands.

Within this tiny crystal seemed to reside an entire world!

Touching the sacred crystal, he had a premonition. He didn't need the real Xuanhuang World. This crystal, containing a world within, was enough to resurrect the Heavenly Law World!

"Such power…"

The Healer's mind reeled.

Li Fan's voice echoed beside him again.

"True Immortals have different temperaments."

"The one guarding the current Xuanhuang World…"

"Heh, she's not as benevolent as I am. To her, even if she were the last being in existence, it wouldn't matter."

The Healer recalled the True Immortal in the Immortal Ruins who, indifferent to the lives of all beings in the lower Star Sea, nearly destroyed it during her meditation. He couldn't help but agree with Li Fan.

"So, if you want to truly save your homeland, become a True Immortal!"

"Consider this world crystal a gift."

Li Fan's voice faded.

The scenery around the Healer distorted, returning to the Great Wall of Shattered Worlds.

The young True Immortal was gone.

Only the Xuanhuang World crystal in his hand proved that what he had experienced wasn't a dream.

The Healer examined the miniature Xuanhuang World. It seemed to be functioning normally.

The beings within continued their lives, oblivious.

They didn't even notice the large characters floating in the sky.

"By the way, my patience is limited."

"One thousand days. If you haven't shown signs of breaking through by then…"

"Hehehe."

The young True Immortal's chilling laughter echoed in the Healer's mind.

The Healer's breath hitched.

He felt the young True Immortal's cold gaze upon him again.

Clutching the Xuanhuang World crystal, he looked at the countdown in the sky, a heavy weight settling upon him.

From their brief encounter, he understood the young True Immortal's capricious nature and unfathomable power.

Not to mention the inescapable formation that had trapped him, just the ability to create an entire Xuanhuang World and condense it into a crystal was beyond his comprehension.

"One thousand days, to ascend to True Immortal?" The Healer frowned, contemplating his options.

"Perhaps, my only hope lies with that formless wall…"

He looked towards the seemingly empty space nearby.

After years of relentless study, he was close to unraveling the wall's secrets.

But a nagging premonition, and his focus on resurrecting the Heavenly Law World, had prevented him from fully dedicating himself to understanding the wall.

But now, it seemed he had no other choice.

As the Healer wrestled with his dilemma, Li Fan arrived before the Legacy Transmission Celestial Venerable.

Observing the Legacy Transmitter, who, even within the complete Immortal-level illusion, was quickly discerning its flaws and searching for a way out, Li Fan frowned slightly.

"As expected of a Heavenly Demon. His resistance to illusions is even greater than the Healer's."

He had released the Healer from the formation.

Toying with a Supreme being of the Star Sea served no purpose.

He preferred they fulfill their intended roles.

As he predicted, the Healer had been temporarily subdued by the formation and the Xuanhuang World crystal.

The formation was naturally created by the Immortal Legion Dissociation Disc.

And the Xuanhuang World crystal…

…was created from the feedback energy that erupted within Li Fan's dantian after the Xuanhuang World ascended to an Immortal Domain in his previous life.

During the ascension process, the immense feedback energy had already been equivalent to dozens of times the Xuanhuang World's energy at its ascension threshold.

And after the world's complete ascension…

…within Li Fan's dantian now floated swirling Xuanhuang clouds.

Like the flickering images on the Immortal Realm coins.

Light and shadow shifted within the clouds, each moment seemingly birthing a new Xuanhuang World.

Of course, Li Fan knew this was an illusion.

The rapid flickering was due to the sheer volume of feedback energy, so vast that it created this dynamic display.

While immense, it wasn't truly infinite.

According to his estimation, the energy within his dantian was approximately one hundred thousand times the normal energy of the Xuanhuang World.

Even to Li Fan, this was an unimaginable amount of power. Initially, he even feared it might explode within him.

But after the initial shock, he realized it was similar, though inferior, to the infinite power of the Star Sea.

Quantitative change couldn't accumulate into qualitative change.

Gradually, he ceased to be concerned.

Creating a sliver of this energy, transforming it into the Xuanhuang World crystal and gifting it to the Healer, was a trivial act.

Moreover, to maintain control over the Healer, he had embedded a trace of the formation's power within the crystal.

It could erupt at any moment, trapping the Healer again.

Shifting his attention from the Healer back to the Legacy Transmitter within the formation, Li Fan wasn't as casual.

From various clues across his reincarnations, he suspected the Legacy Transmitter was Profound Heaven King, his body possessed by a Heavenly Demon.

Heavenly Demons were anomalies that seized control of creation. Their Dao of Heart Demons, merging with a world's Heavenly Dao, was incredibly rare, even in the ancient cultivation world.

And Profound Heaven King…

As a fellow Half-Immortal, Li Fan understood the true power of an Immortal.

Thus, he was even more cautious.

He vividly remembered the Legacy Transmitter's strange behavior after the Xuanhuang World's ascension in his previous life.

How could he underestimate him?

This was why he dealt with the Healer through a mere illusion, while he personally oversaw the Legacy Transmitter.

Li Fan's expression was serious. Considering the Legacy Transmitter's unique situation, the Immortal Legion Dissociation Disc was constantly adjusting the formation.

The world in the Legacy Transmitter's eyes was split in two.

On the left was the familiar Xuanhuang World.

On the right was the homeland of the Legacy Transmission lineage, including Tianyi and Tianjue.

The two worlds flickered and shifted positions.

Gradually, the Legacy Transmitter's usually calm face contorted in pain.

Something within him was struggling to break free.

But this splitting force wasn't strong enough.

It receded.

Li Fan intensified the formation, accelerating the shifting of the two worlds.

He also shot out golden threads, silently piercing the Legacy Transmitter's body.

He had witnessed the Healer's method of controlling the Legacy Transmitter.

With his current understanding, reversing and breaking this control…

…wasn't difficult.

It just required trial and error.

With the Immortal Legion Dissociation Disc, there was no risk of escape.

Stimulated by the shifting worlds and the intruding golden threads, the Legacy Transmitter roared.

But like a caged bird, his struggles were futile.

"Found it."

After a long while, Li Fan's eyes lit up.

He gently tugged on a golden thread.

A transparent figure was slowly pulled out.

The moment it appeared, the Legacy Transmitter's body collapsed.

And separated from its host, the legendary Heavenly Demon calmed down.

It floated silently, seemingly falling into slumber.

However, its resistance to the illusion was even greater than before.

The Dissociation Disc rapidly analyzed its weaknesses.

No matter how strange, it was still a mortal entity.

Its defeat was only a matter of time.

Li Fan first examined the Legacy Transmitter's body.

"He has his own consciousness."

"But suppressed by the Heavenly Demon for so long, it's incredibly weak, showing no signs of awakening."

"I'll take this opportunity to uncover the truth."

"To see the true identity of the Legacy Transmitter, who has dominated the Xuanhuang World for thousands of years!"

With a flicker of anticipation, Li Fan manipulated the illusion.

The scene within the formation shifted, mirroring the Legacy Transmitter's memories.

A vast plain, smoke rising from distant houses.

"Goudan, time for dinner!"
