Li Fan did not have time to react before the voice clearly appeared in his mind.

It seemed to have precisely locked onto Li Fan.

Then it quickly faded away, like snow melting into water, leaving not the slightest trace behind.

Only after everything had happened did Li Fan's body begin to stiffen slightly, and his breathing catch.

He cautiously looked around, carefully observing his surroundings.

He stared at the [Truth] interface that had appeared before him. After a long while, Li Fan finally exhaled slowly and silently closed it.

'Fortunately, it was only a false alarm!'

'The target locked onto by the transmission seems to be only the person who destroyed this bronze immortal crane.'

'But this transmission...'

'Could it have come from beyond the High Wall?!' Li Fan was filled with uncertainty.

His eyes narrowed as he carefully recalled the voice he had just heard.

'Tianluo Era, Year 213. Beginning with Shang Zhang Da Yuan Xian, followed by Zuo E Yan Feng, ending with Zhu Yong Chi Fen Ruo and Yan Mao Xuan Yi...'

'...'

'What does this mean?' Li Fan frowned deeply.

It seemed to be nothing more than a jumble of meaningless terms.

Yet the transmission had crossed the High Wall and precisely identified its target.

There had to be some deeper meaning behind it.

'It seems to be referring to certain years.'

'But another layer has been combined with them. What does that mean?'

'Could this be a unique method of recording years used by the Immortal Realm?'

Li Fan pondered for a long time, but still could not figure it out.

The concepts involved in this transmission were things Li Fan had never encountered in any of his previous reincarnations.

'This transmission was triggered only after the bronze immortal crane was destroyed.'

'The bronze immortal crane was left together with the Immortal Realm Go piece...'

'Perhaps it was an important message Sun Piaomiao left for whoever completed the reconstruction of the Immortal Realm.'

For now, this was the only speculation Li Fan could make.

He simply knew far too little. No matter how deeply he investigated, there was no point. Thus, Li Fan could only firmly commit the contents of the transmission to memory for the time being.

What concerned Li Fan more was the fact that this transmission had come from beyond the High Wall and what that implied.

'Could the reason Sun Piaomiao later disappeared without a trace be because he had already gone beyond the High Wall?'

'When he disappeared, the calamity that destroyed the Immortal Realm had yet to occur, and the High Wall did not yet exist. Later, the invisible High Wall suddenly rose from the ground and enveloped the Star Sea. Sun Piaomiao never returned.'

'What exactly does the High Wall represent?'

In an instant, countless thoughts surged through Li Fan's mind.

This transmission from beyond the High Wall had once again aroused his intense curiosity toward that unknown realm.

'Regardless, the Immortal Realm left behind by Sun Piaomiao must be an important clue.'

'My current strength is still insufficient to investigate it.'

'Dao Integration. Immortal Realm!'

As Li Fan continued exploring, the more he came into contact with, the more he felt that endless mysteries and unknowns lay ahead.

His desire to become stronger had also become more intense than ever before.

...

Xuanhuang Realm.

Time passed second by second.

The Great Celestial Venerable Wuming was without name, knowledge, or consciousness. Following the spontaneous operation of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, he continuously repaired the injuries accumulated over tens of thousands of years.

Together with Li Fan's uninterrupted and various methods of secretly nourishing it, three years passed.

The Xuanhuang Realm had already become powerful to an extreme degree.

It had reached the critical point where quantitative accumulation was about to catalyze a qualitative transformation.

Every living being throughout the entire world, even those trapped within the illusion formation, was still infected by the immense momentum naturally born from heaven and earth. They felt anticipation mixed with endless fear.

The three year period had arrived.

Li Fan sensed that the restriction on Wuming had already begun to slowly dissipate on its own.

The true Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable was about to descend into the world once more after an empty interval of ten thousand years!

It was as if an invisible heavy weight had suddenly been placed upon Li Fan's shoulders.

This was the pressure and authority originating from the Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable.

Feeling the restraint upon himself, Li Fan frowned slightly. He had not anticipated this situation. But after carefully considering it, he soon became relieved.

The Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable had been appointed by the Immortal Realm to govern the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao and all living beings of the world.

Although ten thousand years had passed since Mr. Bai's death, the position itself had remained.

The Dharma-Transmitting Immortal Ancestor had spread the new cultivation method of devouring heaven and earth throughout all living beings. From absorbing the spiritual essence of heaven and earth to reversing the principles of heaven and earth, the higher a cultivator's cultivation realm, the more deeply they became bound to the world.

By now, cultivators of the new cultivation method and the Xuanhuang Realm had already become inseparable, becoming a part of heaven and earth itself.

The Xuanhuang Heaven and Earth had to obey the commands of the Great Celestial Venerable and could not defy them.

This also meant that when the new Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable appeared, all cultivators who practiced the new cultivation method would likewise feel the power of this restraint.

But conversely, although cultivators were a part of heaven and earth, the overall strength of the cultivators in the Xuanhuang Realm was simply too powerful.

Even excluding the Immortal Ancestor, who stood above all living beings, the combined strength of the remaining cultivators was not much weaker than the Xuanhuang Realm itself.

The restriction originating from the ancient Xuanhuang Realm could certainly affect cultivators.

But its effectiveness was limited.

'As the saying goes, the balance between strength and weakness has never been governed by fixed rules since ancient times. The strong can govern the weak, but the weak cannot govern the strong!'

The burden placed upon him was not even comparable to the Go piece carrying a fragment of the Immortal Realm.

For Li Fan, it did not affect his movements in the slightest.

'However, such a drastic transformation of the Xuanhuang Realm cannot possibly be hidden from the Immortal Ancestor and the Heavenly Doctor. They will certainly return to the Xuanhuang Realm immediately.'

'Fortunately, I have also made sufficient preparations during these three years.'

Li Fan's gaze turned toward the outside of the Xuanhuang Realm.

Golden threads wrapped around the boundary of the Xuanhuang Realm's sky, resembling an invisible High Wall that separated the Xuanhuang Realm from the void outside.

Within the concentrated golden radiance, countless different fleeting images seemed to continuously evolve.

Li Fan looked at the creation he had painstakingly prepared and was extremely satisfied.

'The improved Xuanhuang Multitudinous Living Beings Grand Formation, combined with the imitation of the invisible High Wall...'

'And most importantly, the deterrent power of Nameless True Immortal's leg bone!'

'With the support of the power of the boundless star sea, trapping the Heavenly Doctor and the Immortal Ancestor for a period of time will not be a problem!'

In his previous life, the reason the Heavenly Doctor had escaped so quickly was because Li Fan was still only at the mortal level. The immortal formation was merely a downgraded existence maintained through source power essence. It could not truly reproduce the might of an immortal.

Thus, when the Heavenly Doctor vaguely sensed something was wrong within the illusion formation and chose to confront the True Immortal directly, the enormous disparity in strength allowed him to immediately discover the flaw in the formation.

But this life was different.

Li Fan had connected the core of the formation directly to Nameless True Immortal's leg bone.

Even though it was merely a remnant bone left behind by the deceased Nameless True Immortal, the faint aura it emitted was still not much weaker than that of a True Immortal.

The performance of the Immortal Ruins Hunger Immortal and the Southern Immortal Celestial Pillar appearing simultaneously in his previous life had already proven this point.

Under the pressure of an aura no different from that of a True Immortal, the Heavenly Doctor would certainly not recklessly seek his own death.

If he still insisted on trying...

Even at the Supreme level, he would probably be completely unable to resist and would be transformed into characters upon Nameless True Immortal's leg bone!

It could be said that with Nameless True Immortal's leg bone presiding over it, the Xuanhuang Multitudinous Living Beings Grand Formation had already undergone a qualitative transformation to a certain degree.

This was not an evolution of the formation itself, but rather a sublimation brought about by the extraordinary nature of the formation materials!

And this was only Li Fan's first layer of preparations.

In addition to the illusion formation, Li Fan had also used the Art of Drawing Land into a Prison to erect another layer of High Wall outside the Xuanhuang Realm.

This High Wall is indeed incomparable to the invisible High Wall that surrounds the Darkest Star Sea. Yet it was also imitated and constructed after Mo Rubin's insights into the flaws of the High Wall in the previous life, the countless living beings' contemplation of the High Wall in this life, and Li Fan's subsequent improvements.

Li Fan had conducted experiments himself.

To cross this wall, even without reaching the True Immortal realm, one would need to have one's momentum reach the critical point of ninety-nine percent of the way there.

Without a large amount of True Immortal flesh and blood as fuel, and without the assistance of an Ascension Formation, merely relying on the current cultivation realms of the Immortal Ancestor and the Heavenly Doctor, it would be impossible to cross the High Wall within a short period of time.

'My High Wall may appear to differ from the true invisible High Wall by only the slightest degree.'

'But that tiny difference is the difference between heaven and earth.'

'The Heavenly Doctor's strength has already reached the Supreme realm, the limit of the Star Sea. He truly cannot be underestimated. I cannot expect this High Wall to hold them back for too long either.'

'I still have a third method!'

Li Fan withdrew his gaze from the sky.

He looked toward the various regions of the Xuanhuang Realm.

'Once the Xuanhuang Realm begins its ascension, everything undergoing qualitative transformation within it can become my weapon. The Super Immortal-Mortal Miasma, the countless Immortal Spirits of Heaven and Earth...'

'Before I show any intention of refining Ink Death, all of them can be used by me. After all, I am the greatest contributor to the Xuanhuang Realm's ascension into the Immortal Domain. If it succeeds, I can absolutely be called the reborn parents of the Xuanhuang Realm.'

'The power of the Immortal Domain's laws should be enough to resist even if the Hunger Immortal awakens.'

'Everything is prepared. It is time to begin.'

Li Fan sneered inwardly.

His gaze then locked onto the Great Celestial Venerable Wuming.

Ever since the restrictions of the trial from more than three years ago had been lifted, Wuming had remained completely motionless.

It seemed that he was formally accepting the position of Great Celestial Venerable.

However, his nature of possessing neither knowledge nor consciousness caused his expression to remain extremely indifferent, without joy or sorrow.

The edicts from the Immortal Realm no longer existed. The Great Celestial Venerable's every action was now based on the highest interests of the Xuanhuang Realm.

Under the current circumstances, using the immortal spiritual qi contained within the Great Celestial Venerable's legacy to assist the Xuanhuang Realm's ascension had therefore become the inevitable choice.

Under the urgent urging of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, a vast amount of immortal spiritual qi soon surged forth from Wuming.

Like oil poured onto a raging fire, it drove the Xuanhuang Realm onto the final path of ascension.

Either it would successfully ascend into an Immortal Domain, or it would suffer complete ruin and turn to ashes.

With all the preparations Li Fan had made, success was almost inevitable as long as there was no interference from external forces.

Thus, the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao did not hesitate in the slightest.

As wind and clouds surged, it scattered the immortal spiritual qi throughout every corner of heaven and earth.

Even though this was not the first time Li Fan had witnessed true immortal spiritual qi, he was still deeply intoxicated by this incredibly mysterious and extraordinary power.

Even with immortal spiritual qi appearing directly before him, Li Fan was still unable to comprehend the form of its existence.

It was even less possible for him to utilize it.

Perhaps just as Li Fan had predicted, only after ascending to the Immortal realm, even if merely becoming a Half Immortal, could one wield this transcendent power.

But just because Li Fan could not utilize it did not mean that the other objects beside him could not.

'Final Dissociation Disc. Little Beast!'

Li Fan's mind stirred, and two balls of light immediately appeared on either side of his shoulders.

The Final Dissociation Disc had accompanied Li Fan throughout his growth. Its ability to endlessly deduce formations had provided him with tremendous assistance. For a long period of time, the formations deduced by the Final Dissociation Disc had been Li Fan's strongest trump card.

However, it was ultimately still a mortal creation. Constrained by the limitations of its innate material, the Final Dissociation Disc had already reached its limit long ago.

Even though Li Fan continuously infused it with data on Immortal-grade formations, it had only achieved a theoretical breakthrough between the mortal and immortal levels. It could successfully deduce Immortal formations, but in reality, it still could not analyze or create genuine Immortal formations. It could only substitute for them by downgrading Immortal formations.

But now, sensing the immortal spiritual qi permeating heaven and earth, the Final Dissociation Disc trembled uncontrollably.

It was like a cultivator who had suddenly seen the essence of heaven and earth, filled with greed and longing.

The situation of the Little Heavenly Beast was similar to that of the Final Dissociation Disc.

The appetite of this little creature was truly frightening. Only after devouring four Immortal Domain Go pieces in succession did it finally stop eating.

However, it seemed to have overeaten. The Heavenly Beast had yet to undergo its own transformation and evolution, instead remaining in a deep slumber for a long period of time.

After some investigation and a brief communication with the Heavenly Beast, Li Fan speculated that because the Immortal Domain had never fully formed, what it had devoured consisted only of fragments of laws.

These unhealthy ingredients had caused the Heavenly Beast to suffer from poor digestion. It needed pure immortal spiritual qi as a catalyst to assist it in digesting them.

Both of them were at the final step before transformation.

All they needed was for immortal spiritual qi to enter their bodies, and like the Xuanhuang Realm, they would undergo a qualitative transformation.

The immortal spiritual qi permeating heaven and earth grew increasingly dense.

The greed of the Final Dissociation Disc and the Little Heavenly Beast grew increasingly intense. They could barely control themselves and were almost about to break free from Li Fan.

After communicating with Li Fan and receiving his assurances, the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, although somewhat reluctant, still separated two extremely thin strands of immortal spiritual qi that were absolutely pure.

They drifted toward Li Fan.

The moment he received the immortal spiritual qi originating from the Great Heavenly Venerable's legacy, Li Fan immediately sensed that the Xuanhuang Realm's goodwill toward him had invisibly decreased by an entire calamity.

Li Fan snorted coldly and temporarily ignored it. Suppressing his urge to investigate the matter, he divided the two strands of immortal spiritual qi and injected them into the Final Dissociation Disc and the Little Heavenly Beast respectively.

A crystalline and dazzling radiance gradually enveloped the two.

Even Li Fan, their master, lost his perception of them. He was even continuously forced backward by the might emanating from the two balls of light.

Two Immortal artifacts seemed to be in the process of gestation.

Li Fan also sensed that the interception formation he had deployed in the center of the Star Sea had already been activated.

The loss of a little immortal spiritual qi did not slow the Xuanhuang Realm's momentum toward ascension.

Li Fan continuously formed hand seals, and vast quantities of writhing True Immortal flesh and blood were rapidly burned.

They served as the driving force that elevated the momentum of the Xuanhuang Realm.

At the center of the Xuanhuang Realm, a towering phantom suddenly appeared.

Its surface was covered in mottled light and shadow, while profound and mysterious characters emerged across it.

It was precisely the stele formed from the leg bone of the Nameless True Immortal.

As a sturdy support that would prevent the Xuanhuang Realm from falling after its ascension, Li Fan had established it long ago.

A tremendous roar resounded throughout heaven and earth.

Countless cracks appeared across the Xuanhuang heavenly canopy.

It seemed as though the world could not withstand the tremendous impact brought about by its ascension and was beginning to split apart.

At this moment, the nourishment Li Fan had provided for more than ten years finally displayed its crucial effect.
