Chapter 1988: Chapter 1551: Alchemy in the Xuanhuang World (Part 2)
In a field of ruins, he fortunately found the target.
Octagonal Square Tower, Ascension Platform!
In a previous life, it was exactly this Ascension Platform that allowed Chu Ruo to create a blood-and-flesh True Immortal during the Immortal Hunt.
âWith this Ascension Platform in hand, I can seal the Group of Immortals within the Abyss Star Ocean without exposing myself and recreate the Immortal World!â
âBy then, whether itâs cattle, horses, lapdogs, or materials for Heavenly Pillars, there will be everything I need.â Li Fanâs eyes flickered, confident that everything was within his grasp.
Although he had once created the so-called Primordial Immortal Realm, Li Fan knew that continent only had the name of the Immortal World but lacked its essence.
What he intended to build next was a true Immortal World!
Standing on Upper Mountain, connecting to the Infinite Seaâs Immortal World!
âEven more advanced than the original Immortal World.â
âSurvive countless tribulations and remain immortal, approach Daoâs annihilation and not perish.â
With the target in hand, the Grand Celestial Immortal Puppet wasted no time and returned directly within the High Wall.
He just took a glance at the Sea of the Northern Stars, leaving a trace of Divine Sense, silently diving inside.
On one hand, to inquire about the news of the Holy Merchant.
On the other hand, to calculate the time differential inside and outside the High Wall.
Although the Hungry Immortal was extinguished, the Heavenly Pillar still remained.
Li Fan did not intend to directly terminate the suction of the Heavenly Pillar of the Starving Immortal, thereby nullifying the time difference inside and outside the High Wall.
Due to the isolation effect of the High Wall, even if the Abyss Star Ocean suffers a world-overturning change, it wonât affect the Sea of the Northern Stars or the surrounding Star Domains.
Even if those who fled from the Ten Sects were no longer there, it wouldnât affect the overall trend.
Thus, most likely, they would continue to develop according to the historical process familiar to Li Fan.
And this was precisely the outcome Li Fan desired.
âThe Dao Network struggles against the remaining True Immortal forces, the Immortal Reverser makes repeated moves, turning the tideâŠâ
Li Fan recalled the teachings of Bearing the Dao, a gleam flashed in his eyes.
Carrying the Ascension Platform, he returned to the Xuanhuang World. The Grand Celestial Immortal Puppet took out another Stone Tablet.
It was left by King of Mystic Sky, likewise a replica from the Immortal Worldâs Ascension PlatformâKey of the Dao.
Placing the two before him, Li Fan carefully compared them.
âKing of Mystic Sky truly should not be underestimated. A newly ascended True Immortal, who had not yet connected to the Infinite Sea, could hurriedly and perfectly replicate the Immortal Seal on the Ascension Platform.â
After a moment, Li Fan couldnât help but exclaim.
After his detailed comparison, King of Mystic Skyâs Stone Tablet had almost perfectly replicated the majority of useful True Immortal Seal Characters from the entire Ascension Platform.
âThough it lacks the core forbidden formation of the Ascension Platform: connecting to the Infinite Sea.â
âAnd itâs precisely the lack of this part that has delayed his achievement of True Immortality.â
Gently stroking the Stone Tablet of the Key of the Dao, countless points of light seemed to rush toward it from every direction in the void.
Before long, another identical Octagonal Square Ascension Platform appeared before him.
While creating from the void, Li Fan also casually supplemented the missing content from the Stone Tablet.
Based on his numerous entries into the Infinite Sea and his experience of integrating with Mountain and Sea, the Immortal Seal characters he supplemented for connecting to the Infinite Sea were even more efficient than those from the original Ascension Platform.
Next, Li Fan continued in the same manner.
He created two more Octagonal Square Towers out of thin air.
Four Ascension Platforms floated silently above the Xuanhuang World.
âFor mortal living beings wanting to connect to the Infinite Sea, apart from reaching the status of True Immortal themselves, it requires a Guardian Immortal Officer to use Celestial Spiritual Power and specific True Immortal Seal characters to activate the Ascension Platform to assist.â
âThus, they can formally connect to the Infinite Sea, the Upper Mountain. Tread on Mountain and Sea, prove the Dao of True Immortals.â
âThe Grand Celestial Immortal Puppet can serve as the Guardian Immortal Officer of Xuanhuang. Using these four Ascension Platforms, numerous True Immortals can be canonized.â
Li Fanâs face was filled with pride as he engraved four different characters on the Four Directions Ascension Platform.
On the Ascension Platform transformed from the Xuanhuang Dao Key Stone Tablet, the characters shining were known to Li Fan as the Immortal-Mortal Transformation. The True Immortal Seal Characters engraved on the other three Ascension Platforms were very similar to the Immortal-Mortal Transformation Characters, with only slight differences in detail.
âItâs merely the method to connect to the Infinite Sea.â
âIf it werenât for me not wanting to be exposed to the Infinite Seaâs sight, I wouldnât need such hassle. With a thought, I could send all living beings of Xuanhuang into the Infinite Sea.â
âBut the outcome would be beyond my control.â
Though the Ascension Platform was ready, Li Fan didnât hurry to seal the Immortals.
The current foundation of Xuanhuang World was still too weak.
A single True Immortal emerging might cause a ripple that could easily tear it apart.
While the prior enhancement plan to elevate the Xuanhuang World was feasible, it was too cumbersome and inefficient for Li Fan now.
He had a better way.
âLife and death are one, with the Dao truly united. Beyond the material world, my pill has formedâŠâ
Li Fan murmured slowly, and the Grand Celestial Immortal Puppet cooperated by slowly expelling a misty aura from its mouth.
This was precisely the Immortal Ruins and various Immortal Domain Chess Pieces that he had absorbed earlier, converted to a pure energy form after he absorbed them.
Li Fan sat cross-legged above the sky, overlooking the chaotic world below.
A Pill Furnace loomed vaguely within his eyes.
With a flick of thought, the misty aura expelled by the Grand Celestial Immortal Puppet was silently implanted throughout the Xuanhuang World.
âIn the process of alchemy, even if the furnace fire burned fiercely, those within the furnace would remain unaware.â
âUntilâŠâ
Li Fan continuously formed hand seals, with the authority of the Great Supreme Lord Xuan Huang, he urged the Xuanhuang Heavenly Earth to cooperate, quietly undergoing dramatic changes.
After all, the Xuanhuang World was one of the core testing grounds of the Immortal Worldâs Rotten Stump Dojo, with an inherent familiarity with all things of the Immortal World.
Like a young dog smelling the scent of dog food, the Xuanhuang Heaven Path could not restrain its inner excitement. Eagerly showing goodwill towards Li Fan, promptly executing all commands.
With the external nourishment of the Immortal World misty aura and the worldâs internal acceptance of change.
In Li Fanâs eyes, the flames of the furnace in the Xuanhuang World burned brighter!
To craft the Eternal Immortal Boat and replicate the Immortal World, the fragments of Immortal Ruins and some Immortal Domain Chess Pieces alone were insufficient.
âOne inch above Upper Mountain, itâs the earthâs overturn and the heavenâs flipâŠâ
In Li Fanâs mind, countless lines written by Taiyi Saint Lord from the Mountain and Sea Primordial Scripture flashed by like shooting stars.
Indeed, with his current strength, he was far from being able to create an Immortal World out of thin air from Upper Mountain.
But by using the remains of the corpse and soul to revive, transplanting Xuanhuang World into the remnants of the ancient Immortal World situated on the Upper Mountain, he could barely achieve it.
Not long ago, after the Grand Celestial Immortal Puppet had consumed the Immortal Ruins and Immortal Domain Chess Pieces, it briefly caught a glimpse of how they originally looked on Upper Mountain.
Scattered like stars across the endless mountains, akin to a host of stars in the darkness.
Li Fan had gained clarity at that moment.
If they hadnât been completely swallowed by Dao Yan, the foundation they left on Upper Mountain still existed.
What Li Fan needed to do now was to collect all these remaining foundations.
And then, build another towering structure upon the ruins!
With the persistent flicker of the Alchemy Furnaceâs flames, the specks of light spread through the mountains were inexorably drawn to a single location.
The entire process unfolded at an exceedingly slow pace.
Li Fan remained extremely patient.
Given the absence of Hai Zhen to back, if there were the slightest mistake during alchemy, and the Xuanhuang World exploded into fragments⊠the anchor point foundation Li Fan had painstakingly constructed would instantly vanish into smoke and dust.
Even if he survived, he would have to struggle to survive in the River of Time once more.
What was peculiar, however, was that despite the risk to his own life, Li Fanâs heart harbored no hesitation or fear as he engaged in alchemy.
On the contrary, he was calm, with an unshakable confidence that he was certain of success.
Since the beginning of his alchemy, Li Fan had noticed this odd change in himself.
As the alchemical process progressed, the growing confidence in his heart continued to increase.
âThis confidence does not come from my proficiency with the Alchemy Emperorâs Classic. Nor does it come from my understanding of Upper Mountain or the Infinite Sea.â
âRather, it comes fromâŠâ
âXuanhuang Heavenly Earth itself is like a half-formed pill.â
âAll thatâs required is to follow the steps without embellishment. This pill is sure to succeed!â
âSun Piaomiao!â
Li Fan had clarity in his heart, yet his hands showed no hesitation in the alchemical process.
