If this had been the previous life, before the completion of [Truth]'s charging, and this were merely a fragment of stone that had flown out from the Wordless Stele itself, Li Fan would absolutely never have dared to test it with his own body.

But now, the leg bone of the Nameless True Immortal had already become a bound item of [Truth].

Li Fan had personally witnessed how, after entering the white mist of [Truth], the leg bone had lost all signs of spirituality and remained completely motionless. Li Fan was confident that something bound to [Truth] could absolutely never harm him.

He carefully examined the object that had appeared before him.

Without [Truth]'s prompt, Li Fan would never have imagined that this round fragment of stone, roughly the size of a fist, was actually the leg bone of some unknown and immensely powerful existence.

"Unlike the complete Southern Immortal Celestial Pillar, merely looking at its surface does not cause various insights to surge into my mind. It seems to be nothing more than an ordinary stone..."

Li Fan did not approach it. Instead, he observed it from a distance.

"The Nameless True Immortal is an existence above the True Immortal realm. After completely mastering a particular Dao, one transcends beyond it. Such an existence is unknowable and unseeable to mortals."

"Yet there is not the slightest trace of the Great Dao on this leg bone..."

"Could it be that the Dao mastered by this Nameless True Immortal was stripped away? And that this existence was itself slaughtered, with its entire skeleton refined into the Immortal Celestial Pillars?"

Li Fan's thoughts ran wild.

But even when facing such an inconspicuous leg bone, Li Fan did not let down his guard.

Even the True Immortal remains beneath the Dark Sea could give birth to the [Will to Survive]. Who knew what kind of strange thing the remains of the Nameless True Immortal might derive?

However, the reason Li Fan was so eager to take it out and study it was naturally to verify a certain conjecture in his heart.

In his previous life, after he cast the White Ring Descends into Mortal World toward the Wordless Stele, the two characters [Innate] appeared upon the Wordless Stele.

At that time, all kinds of details regarding the character [Innate] in Li Fan's mind had been magnified countless times and presented perfectly before him.

One had to know that True Immortal seal script was actually another manifestation of the Great Dao itself. It was not something that could easily be comprehended.

Even the True Immortals of the Immortal Ruins had to sit in meditation for ten thousand years merely to comprehend a single character, [Hunger].

As for the peerless geniuses among mortals, such as the successive elders of the Immortal Ark, even reproducing the original appearance of True Immortal seal script required generation after generation to advance one after another, preserving the flame of knowledge through the wisdom accumulated by countless predecessors.

There was naturally an insurmountable chasm between True Immortal seal script and mortal existence, preventing mortals from investigating it.

Li Fan was an exceptionally fortunate person who had seen quite a few True Immortal seal script characters. However, most of them originated from the imitations written by that "Immortal He Gan", who had once caused the catastrophe that devastated the Star Sea.

Originally, Li Fan had believed that his understanding had already captured eighty or ninety percent of the true essence.

But at the end of his previous life, a single stroke upon the Wordless Stele, which was covered in True Immortal seal script, suddenly awakened him.

What he had comprehended was still far too distant from the original appearance of the Great Dao laws.

"The True Immortal seal script I currently know consists of the [Innate] and [Hunger] characters. Among them, these two are the closest to their fundamental essence. My understanding of [Innate] is even superior to my understanding of [Hunger]. Because what I saw of [Hunger] was merely something I observed from outside the Immortal Realm. But [Innate]."

"It was directly projected into my mind."

A faint glimmer flashed through Li Fan's eyes.

"The Wordless Stele seems to be a machine for analysis. It decomposes all things into their most primordial state and manifests them through True Immortal seal script. And personally throwing an object into it seems to provide an additional enhancement."

"Would this not be the perfect, natural treasure for learning True Immortal seal script?"

At this thought, Li Fan could not help becoming somewhat excited. Even though he had always prided himself on remaining calm, he found it difficult to suppress his emotions at this moment.

"Even if this is merely a fragment of the Wordless Stele, the ability of this leg bone to derive True Immortal seal script should far surpass the combined efforts of the entire Xuan Immortal Ark."

"It will be of immense help in allowing me to master as many True Immortal seal script characters as possible."

Li Fan stared at the leg bone in the distance, his eyes blazing with anticipation.

True Immortal seal script was not merely significant during one's mortal existence. Even after becoming a True Immortal, it remained just as important. If one wished to advance further, True Immortals still had to continue studying it, choosing a suitable Dao in pursuit of the [Nameless] realm.

"Of course, what the Wordless Stele manifests may not necessarily be pure True Immortal seal script representing the primordial laws of the Great Dao."

"It is more like..."

"The understanding of that Nameless True Immortal regarding all the Great Daos in the mortal world."

"Unless this Nameless True Immortal is actually the legendary [Dao Inscription Immortal]."

Li Fan's thoughts abruptly stopped.

He carefully considered what it would mean if that were truly the case.

The truth was still far too distant from him. He silently buried these thoughts deep within his heart for the time being.

"The vision of the Nameless True Immortal naturally surpasses ours by far. Even if what it inscribed was not the Great Dao itself, it is almost indistinguishable from it. It is more than enough to serve as my teacher for a very long time to come."

"My idea is good, but manifesting True Immortal seal script upon the Wordless Stele is not an easy matter. After all, it is not the Nameless True Immortal itself. It is merely a leg bone. I need to gather enough material."

Li Fan pondered as he recalled the scene he had witnessed in his previous life.

"The White Ring Descends into Mortal World is itself mysterious beyond comprehension. It is only natural that it can independently manifest a character."

"The key is that Immortal Hunger. She exhausted all her strength just to barely manifest the character [Hunger] upon the stone stele."

Li Fan could not help frowning slightly.

"With ordinary methods, even if the entire Darkest Star Sea were buried, it might not be enough to manifest many useful characters."

"But it does not matter. I took out this leg bone precisely so that I could use it against those strange and mysterious things."

A cold glint flashed through Li Fan's eyes.

Over the course of his two recent lives, Li Fan had experienced two great upheavals in the Star Sea.

One was when Cat Treasure caused forces from beyond the High Wall to descend.

The other was when the Immortal Domain descended while carrying the Immortal Celestial Pillar.

Under those world destroying crises, all the hidden existences within the Star Sea had been forced to reveal themselves. They had used every means at their disposal to ensure their own survival.

This had allowed Li Fan to see things clearly.

"Right now, there are only a few existences throughout the entire Darkest Star Sea that can threaten me."

"Before I achieve Dao Integration, if I explore and investigate them again, I will probably obtain the same result as in my previous life. But now that I have the leg bone of the Nameless True Immortal, things are different."

"No matter how powerful or mysterious they are, can they really surpass the Nameless True Immortal?"

Images of his experiences from his previous life continuously flashed before Li Fan's eyes.

"Then let us go through them one by one."

The leg bone of the Nameless True Immortal descended, yet for a long time, no abnormal change occurred.

Only then did Li Fan relax. With a thought, he returned the leg bone to the bound space of [Truth].

He then returned to the Xuanhuang Realm and arrived at the small world where the You Clan lived.

In his previous life, Li Fan had discovered that the You Clan, as descendants of the First Generation Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable, seemed to have True Immortal seal script related to the power behind the [Immortal Mortal Transformation] sealed within their bloodline.

Unfortunately, with his strength at the time, he was completely incapable of observing it.

But in this life, with the Wordless Stele present, Li Fan did not need to act himself.

"As long as enough You Clan members are sacrificed, I can truly reproduce the True Immortal seal script behind the [Immortal Mortal Transformation]."

Li Fan looked down at the You Clan gathered below.

There were not many of them, and their physiques were extremely frail.

His expression remained indifferent.

"The current number is nowhere near enough. I also need to set aside a portion of them to provide me with source power essence."

"As the saying goes, if you wish to take something, you must first give..."

Li Fan gently waved his hand.

Just as he had done in his previous life, images of the heavenly revelation concerning the Immortal Mortal Transformation appeared within the minds of several You Clan members below.

Because they had touched upon a taboo, they turned into flying ash. However, the constitution of the entire You Clan gradually became stronger due to a certain degree of ancestral reversion.

'Governing a great nation is like cooking a small fish. There is no need to rush.'

Li Fan silently murmured to himself, leaving behind a strand of divine sense to watch over the matter.

His true body then returned once again to the Great Xuan Small World.

A white ring descended into the mortal world, transforming Jieli Mountain into a region of nothingness. The Dao Lecture Platform stood between heaven and earth, attracting mortals from all over Great Xuan, who came rushing toward it like moths flying into a flame.

'For this life, the overall plan will remain unchanged for now. I will still promote the ascension of the Xuanhuang Realm and merge the Ink Death Celestial Spirit of Heaven and Earth into the Dao.'

'Only some details need to be perfected and modified.'

'I still need to play the role of the Teacher of Heaven and Earth, allowing all living beings to help me comprehend the flaws in the High Wall and explore the Carefree Paradise.'

'Carefree...'

Li Fan's gaze turned toward the territory of the Five Elders Association, and his expression became unreadable.

In his previous life, when the Wordless Stele emerged, none of the Longevity Immortal realm cultivators of the Five Elders Association, including Carefree Heavenly Sovereign, had appeared.

It seemed that they had not noticed it at all.

Yet later, when the True White Mist concealed everything and only the radiance of the Wordless Stele remained visible, it revealed traces of something unusual.

'Apart from the Hunger Immortal, there were still other observers at that time. They had no physical bodies, and only barely perceptible strands of thought had arrived. Within the Star Sea, there are only a few who can accomplish something like this.'

'However, to remain undetected by the Hunger Immortal and all those Supremes, it is difficult to say exactly how powerful this person is for now. But their methods of preserving their life are truly bizarre.'

...

'However, with the experience gained from the exploration of all living beings in my previous life, the speed at which I explore the dream realm in this life will inevitably increase once again.'

'No matter how deep the dream realm is, it cannot withstand my repeated probing through reincarnation.'

'Hmph... Carefree!'

Strands of divine sense flew toward the various small worlds of the Xuanhuang Realm, transforming into magnificent Dao Lecture Platforms that reached the heavens and earth.

Under Li Fan's manipulation, they slowly gave birth to simulated Heavenly Mandate.

Those small worlds that originally possessed a consciousness of the Heavenly Dao were replaced by it.

Those that originally had none instead took it as their Heavenly Dao.

Within Li Fan's sea of consciousness, countless specks of light slowly began to illuminate.

Each point of light represented a small world within the Xuanhuang Realm.

Li Fan stood high above like a god.

Watching the countless living beings below.

At the same time, Li Fan had not forgotten Wuming of the Thirteen Peaks World.

Under Li Fan's guidance, Wuming also developed the desire to leave and explore a greater world.

However, after the changes he had experienced, Li Fan needed to spend more time making preparations in this life.

For now, Wuming remained within the Thirteen Peaks World, comprehending the Heavenly Dao of the small world.

But Li Fan had already secretly connected this small world to the Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang Realm.

What Wuming was comprehending would soon become the Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang Realm.

Before [Truth] had finished charging, Li Fan also did not make any rash moves. Everything proceeded step by step, advancing almost exactly along the trajectory of his previous life.

In the blink of an eye, three years had passed since the anchoring.

During these three years, Li Fan's attention had been focused primarily on the You Clan.

Almost every few days, he would descend with a Heavenly Revelation.

The You Clan's overall understanding of the Transformation Between Immortal and Mortal had already almost caught up with Li Fan's own.

The You Clan members who further unlocked their bloodline seals and restored their original bloodline displayed a terrifying rate of reproduction.

A newborn needed only twenty to thirty days from birth to adulthood.

Moreover, almost every You Clan member was physically robust and immune to disease.

In just three short years, their figures had already filled and occupied the entire small world.

Looking at the world ecology that was struggling under the burden, Li Fan felt that it was time to harvest.

Suddenly, dark clouds densely covered the sky.

Within the surging vortex of clouds carrying a heaven-shaking aura, a stone stele crashed down.

Its immense might instantly crushed tens of thousands of You Clan members to death.

Blood flowed in streams toward the stone stele.

Their corpses also transformed into streaks of light and flew into the stone stele.

Just as Li Fan had expected, blurred phantoms began to emerge upon the stone stele.

However, the amount of material absorbed so far was still far too small. It was still a long way from revealing the complete form of the True Immortal seal script character.

The emergence of the stone stele shook the entire You Clan.

After several attempts and confirming its danger, all the You Clan members chose to flee the area covered by the stone stele.

But how could Li Fan possibly let them have their way?

In what seemed like a single breath, the formation absorbed more than half of the You Clan members into the stone stele.

They were transformed into fuel that powered the deduction of the True Immortal seal script.

The range of the formation continued expanding, almost completely swallowing the entire You Clan.

Soon, only a corner of the small world remained where the You Clan members survived.

There were approximately eight thousand of them.

The inexplicable arrival of this calamity terrified these You Clan members.

At this moment, Li Fan also sent out a dark phantom that blocked the expanding formation.

Strands of darkness erupted from the phantom.

It forced back the formation that was devouring everything in its path.

The You Clan members who had narrowly escaped death wept with joy. They spontaneously knelt on the ground and prayed.

The phantom seemed to sense their devotion and once again forced the formation backward.

It bought the You Clan enough space to survive.

Afterward, as if it had exhausted its strength, it transformed into a stone statue and fell into the You Clan settlement.

The You Clan members hurriedly surrounded it and protected the stone statue.

Above the small world, Li Fan watched this scene and nodded slightly.

'Whenever the You Clan has reproduced enough, I will let the formation harvest another batch.'

'In this way, it will both satisfy my consumption of source power essence and provide sufficient material for the Nameless Immortal's leg bone to deduce the Transformation Between Immortal and Mortal.'

Thinking of this, Li Fan could not help but look toward the stone stele standing at the center of the small world.

The Nameless Immortal's leg bone was naturally not that enormous. A layer of formation had merely been arranged around it to conceal its presence.

After absorbing ninety percent of the You Clan, the changes in the leg bone had become extremely obvious.

Continuous golden patterns had emerged upon it.

'This character seems even more complicated than [Creation] and [Innate].'

'And besides its complexity...'

Li Fan pondered over it, his expression becoming unreadable.

'There is also a trace of sacredness and a magnificent, resplendent aura within it.'

Comparing it with what he had witnessed in his previous life, Li Fan estimated that at the current pace, it would still take more than a hundred years before the complete True Immortal seal script character could emerge.

'Too slow.'

'Could it be that I need to unlock even more of the You Clan's bloodline seals?'
