Chapter 139 - Chapter 1421: Recreating the Law Derivation Jade (+2K words)

The Heavenly Wonder Law Derivation Jade had almost completely fused with the little girl's body, making it nearly impossible to separate them by ordinary means. However, Li Fan was not only a master of medical arts but also commanded the Transformations of Truth and Falsehood. He decided to take the most direct, albeit drastic, approach.

Disregarding the consequences, he began by extracting the flesh tainted by the Law Derivation Jade. During this process, he used the Transformations of Truth and Falsehood to create new flesh to replace it, maintaining the little girl's life force.

Recreating the physical body was the easier part. The truly difficult and dangerous task was separating her soul.

Having been fused with the Law Derivation Jade for so long, even the little girl's soul was filled with its overwhelming imprints.

Li Fan's divine sense, sharp as a blade, meticulously sliced through these imprints, separating them inch by inch. As he used the Transformations of Truth and Falsehood to fill the gaps, he simultaneously employed the Boundless Completion Method to create a highly refined soul nutrient solution, which he infused into her.

The entire procedure could not tolerate the slightest error. Otherwise, while the Heavenly Wonder Law Derivation Jade would remain unharmed, the little girl's soul would instantly scatter and dissipate.

Yet, Li Fan felt no tension whatsoever, even though this was his first attempt at such a technique. After all, no one else in the world had witnessed his conversation with the Law Derivation Jade.

If he failed… well, that would just be the little girl's bad luck.

Li Fan focused his entire attention on the task at hand.

Slowly, as a blood-red, circular jade artifact was extracted by Li Fan, the little girl entered a mysterious state between truth and falsehood.

She appeared no different from before the procedure, except for looking slightly weaker. However, if Li Fan were to withdraw the Transformations of Truth and Falsehood, this adorable creature would instantly collapse into a formless mass of flesh and blood.

"The boundary between truth and falsehood…"

Li Fan carefully observed the creation born from his own hands, a creation existing between truth and falsehood. Having experienced this complete manipulation of life, Li Fan felt his understanding of the Transformations of Truth and Falsehood had imperceptibly deepened.

He couldn't yet maintain the transformation indefinitely. Of what he created with the Transformations of Truth and Falsehood, only a tiny fraction would remain. However, he could continuously repeat the process, compensating for the loss through sheer volume.

Even so, by the time Li Fan completed this incredibly delicate and unique separation technique, the reborn little girl had shrunk considerably.

She had originally looked five or six years old.

Now, she appeared only three or four.

After awakening, the little girl stared wide-eyed at her new body, her face filled with wonder.

Although she had lost the Heavenly Wonder Law Derivation Jade's enhancements, Li Fan had imbued her new body with the spiritual power of a Xuanhuang World phantom. The little girl currently possessed no cultivation, but in terms of potential, she likely surpassed all cultivators at the Eternal Life Realm and below within the Xuanhuang World.

"Do you remember your original name?" Li Fan asked, gently stroking the Law Derivation Jade.

The flesh and blood clinging to the Heavenly Wonder had vanished, revealing its true form. A fissure, resembling a sword slash, marred almost a tenth of the circular jade's surface, giving it a somewhat damaged appearance.

The little girl hesitated for a moment before replying in a crisp voice, "I don't remember."

Li Fan's heaven-defying methods further confirmed her earlier suspicions. This person before her must be a True Immortal descended to the mortal realm! No longer daring to be mischievous, she became extremely reserved.

Such an obvious shift in demeanor couldn't escape Li Fan's notice. However, seeing her desire to completely sever ties with the past, he didn't press the matter. "In that case, from now on, your name will be Li Ningqing."

Although separated from the Law Derivation Jade, the millennia they spent together and the fragmented memories of the Immortal Realm still profoundly influenced her.

Li Ningqing instinctively bowed, her small face solemn. "Thank you, Master, for bestowing this name upon me."

Li Fan nodded slightly and, without another word, began to carefully examine the Law Derivation Jade in his hand.

Li Ningqing stood respectfully by his side, not daring to disturb him. However, old habits die hard. After a short while, she couldn't contain her curiosity any longer.

She raised her head and stealthily observed Li Fan.

As Li Ningqing had said, very few memories of the Immortal Realm remained within the Law Derivation Jade. That memory fragments related to [Creation] still existed was solely due to the unique nature of this True Immortal inscription. It had not only been etched into memory but had also subtly influenced the Law Derivation Jade itself. That was why it had endured through the ages, despite the erosion of time.

Even these fragmented memories offered Li Fan glimpses of valuable scenes.

Flickering images showed a pacing figure. It seemed to be the Law Derivation Jade's original owner, facing an extremely difficult predicament.

"Foolish, utterly foolish."

"To actually disregard such a calamity…"

"No, perhaps they have other plans and simply cannot concern themselves with us. It seems we must rely on ourselves. Otherwise, the tragedy of the Thousand Illusions Star Region will repeat itself."

An unknown amount of time passed.

The human-shaped figure had long since departed, leaving the Law Derivation Jade alone.

A howling wind arose, as if heralding a great terror.

A mysterious force suddenly enveloped the Law Derivation Jade. It soared into the sky, transforming into a meteor, hurtling uncontrollably towards an unknown destination.

Countless other lights streaked across the heavens alongside the Law Derivation Jade, each seemingly heading in a different direction.

The Lower Realm Star Sea.

After an immeasurable journey, a figure reached out and caught the Law Derivation Jade.

After examining it briefly, the figure shook their head slightly, then tossed the jade into the Xuanhuang World.

These memory fragments lay hidden deep within the Law Derivation Jade. Even transformed into a wondrous artifact and absorbed by Li Ningqing, they would remain dormant without a specific trigger. Only Li Fan, through his near-destructive search, could awaken these ancient remnants.

"It seems the Law Derivation Jade arrived in Xuanhuang from the Immortal Realm long ago, swallowed and absorbed by heaven and earth."

Li Fan recognized the figure who had intercepted the Law Derivation Jade. It was the same Lower Realm True Immortal he had seen in the memories derived from the Kun Qian Bone Hand!

"The appearance of the Dao Obliteration Calamity in the Immortal Realm was foreshadowed. Even with the 'official' creation of the Immortal Heavenly Pillars to maintain order, many True Immortals likely sought their own methods to survive. Whether they succeeded is another matter."

"In the face of tribulation, each reveals their divine abilities. This is nothing new in the history of the Xuanhuang World," Li Fan mused.

Even more intriguing was the scene of countless lights escaping like a meteor shower.

"At that point in time, the Xuanhuang World was still in its ancient era. But the Immortal Realm Star Region where the Law Derivation Jade originated seemed to be already experiencing the great calamity."

"I wonder what else was among those meteor-like lights, besides immortal artifacts like the Law Derivation Jade."

"Did some powerful being scatter the embers of the Immortal Realm in this manner?"

Beyond this, the Law Derivation Jade held no other significant memories. The rest were cultivation techniques it had continuously derived over the years.

Li Fan scanned them with a thought. These techniques held little value for him, having already reached the Half-Immortal Realm.

He had gone through considerable effort to extract the Law Derivation Jade, primarily due to its former status as an immortal artifact.

Within his sea of consciousness, the immortal artifact Dissociation Disc radiated faint wisps of immortal spiritual energy.

Li Fan attempted to have the Law Derivation Jade absorb this energy.

However, just like Li Fan, the Law Derivation Jade couldn't utilize this mysterious energy. After circulating within the jade, the immortal spiritual energy emerged completely unchanged.

The Dissociation Disc reabsorbed the energy.

"Just as I expected, immortal spiritual energy must possess a unique identifying marker, usable only by specific individuals."

Li Fan recalled the process by which the Dissociation Disc had ascended to become an immortal artifact.

"Left behind by the Great Celestial Venerable of Xuanhuang, absorbed and transformed by the Xuanhuang World's Heavenly Dao, then forcibly separated before reaching the peak of the Immortal Realm."

Understanding dawned upon him.

"It seems the key lies in the transformation by the Xuanhuang heaven and earth. The underlying mechanism, like the Ancient Immortal Formation, might have existed since the creation of the Xuanhuang World, unknown even to the Heavenly Dao."

"If I want to elevate the Law Derivation Jade to an immortal artifact…"

Li Fan had no intention of pushing the Xuanhuang World's ascension again. Having learned from past experience, it wouldn't be overly difficult, but with his current power, there were simpler methods.

Temporarily storing the Law Derivation Jade, Li Fan looked at Li Ningqing, who quickly lowered her head.

"You haven't been out for a long time. I'll give you some time to travel and explore."

"You may not have cultivation, but with that body alone, you can roam freely throughout the Xuanhuang World without worry," Li Fan said calmly.

Overjoyed, Li Ningqing quickly expressed her gratitude.

"One year," Li Fan added. "Return in one year, when I summon you."

Li Ningqing, her head filled with the prospect of a year-long vacation, barely registered his words. Heavens, she had never had such an extended period of rest in her entire life!

Compared to that detestable Legacy Transmission Celestial Venerable, Master was truly a benevolent saint! Li Ningqing couldn't help but think.

While she was still brimming with excitement, her vision blurred. Li Fan had sent her out of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance headquarters.

Li Fan's voice faintly echoed in her ears. "Travel widely. Observe closely. Don't miss anything interesting."

"Don't worry, I've got your back."

Reassured, Li Ningqing felt a surge of anticipation for her journey through the Xuanhuang World.

"Master is so kind. Mirror Profound would definitely be overjoyed to meet him."

Sensing the little girl's joyful progress, Li Fan nodded slightly. "I hope you can uncover some of the secrets still hidden within the Xuanhuang World."

Having merged with the Law Derivation Jade for so long, Li Ningqing had formed a unique connection with it. Perhaps that connection extended to other ancient artifacts from the Immortal Realm, just as she had sensed the immortal spiritual energy the moment Li Fan extracted it.

Even having ascended to the Immortal Realm, Li Fan would not underestimate the Xuanhuang World, the former testing grounds of the immortals.

"However, my current focus should be beyond the wall. The exploration of the Xuanhuang World can be left to others."

Having resolved the matter of the Law Derivation Jade, Li Fan finally approached the lineage of Mirror Masters.

There, he saw the true form of the Heavenly Profound Mirror: a simple, ancient green bronze mirror.

Three Mirror Masters sat cross-legged around it. Their expressions changed drastically as they saw Li Fan suddenly appear, flanked by Legacy Transmitter Zhou, representing the Legacy Transmitters, and Di Sanmo.

Without a word, Li Fan waved his hand, suppressing them.

His form flickered as he arrived before the Heavenly Profound Mirror. He immediately sensed the restrictions placed upon it, clearly the work of the Healer.

"Mirror Profound."

A knowing smile spread across Li Fan's face. He flicked his finger against the mirror three times. The restrictions crumbled.

The space within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance headquarters trembled violently.

A figure drifted out from the ancient mirror, staring at Li Fan with intense apprehension.

"Greetings, Senior." Fully aware of everything within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, how could Mirror Profound not know about the earth-shattering changes occurring at headquarters?

While secretly contacting the Legacy Transmission Celestial Venerable, Mirror Profound's human avatar abandoned its experience of human life and began fleeing towards a natural hidden sanctuary within his memories.

He believed his actions were undetected.

However, he was unaware that everything was under Li Fan's control.

Li Fan extended his hand slightly. His five fingers seemed to pierce through space and time. With a gentle clench, Mirror Profound's expression contorted as if his throat were being constricted.

A mortal, tens of thousands of miles away, was drawn into Li Fan's grasp. He casually tossed the avatar aside.

Legacy Transmitter Zhou and Di Sanmo were bewildered. Only Mirror Profound and his human avatar were filled with terror.

"Disobedient."

"You deserve to be punished."

Li Fan flicked his finger again, this time with considerable force.

Both of Mirror Profound's bodies crumpled to the ground as if struck by lightning. The space within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance headquarters shook violently, as if the world were ending.

Most terrifyingly, a crack appeared on the surface of the Heavenly Profound Mirror itself from that single strike. It was as if Li Fan didn't care about the fate of this wondrous immortal artifact at all!

Mirror Profound was utterly terrified. He was about to beg for mercy when Li Fan grabbed him and stuffed him back into the Heavenly Profound Mirror.

This time, however, Mirror Profound didn't feel the usual sense of comfort upon returning to his main body. Instead, he sensed a strange disconnect between himself and the Heavenly Profound Mirror!

After some investigation, he discovered the cause. In addition to the True Immortal's sealing technique, another version of himself was being created within the Heavenly Profound Mirror!

In that blurry figure, Mirror Profound saw himself!

"This is…" A chill ran through Mirror Profound's heart.

With his vast knowledge, he realized the True Immortal was creating a new mirror spirit to replace him!

"It wouldn't be this easy, but my human avatar has fallen into his hands as well."

Terror gripped Mirror Profound's heart. He foresaw his fate and cried out, "Senior, spare me!"
