Li Fan carefully observed the [Dissociation Disc, Immortal Rank].

In his previous life, Li Fan had already deeply experienced the terrifying power of the Dissociation Disc after it formally advanced into an Immortal Artifact.

With a single thought, an Immortal Formation could be formed.

Once the Immortal Formation was complete, it could slay Immortals and gods.

Ink Death was also among the strongest of all the Spirits of Heaven and Earth. After following the Xuanhuang Realm through its transformation from mortal to Immortal, the strength of Ink Death in the state of a Immortal Spirit of Heaven and Earth could be imagined.

A mass of ink-black color covered Li Fan's eyes. Countless writhing black specks also emerged from the fingertips of his right hand.

Li Fan extended his right hand and gently pressed that strand of ink-black color against the restrained mass of True Immortal residual power in his left hand.

The True Immortal residual power that had been wreaking havoc across the Star Sea was completely incapable of resisting the corrosive power of the Celestial Spirit of Heaven and Earth, Ink Death. It was swallowed by the dense blackness and completely erased from existence.

The ink-black tide continued surging forward. When it finally receded, there was nothing left between Li Fan's hands.

"It can annihilate True Immortal residual power. Even when facing a True Immortal, I should not be at too great a disadvantage. This is precisely the advantage of advancing through the new method. As long as the power of the Immortal Spirits of Heaven and Earth I devour is sufficiently strong, I can instantly turn it into my own strength."

"With the power of Ink Death protecting my body, even though I, a [Half Immortal], lack the methods that Immortals possess, such as immortal spiritual qi, I am still more than capable of dominating and crushing my way through the Star Sea."

"But my true trump card is still the Immortal Rank Dissociation Disc."

Within Li Fan's mind, countless Dissociation Discs simultaneously radiated brilliant light. From every star, threads of silvery-white starlight were released, flowing and converging together.

They appeared within Li Fan's palm.

"The Ink Death of the Celestial Spirit of Heaven and Earth is already this powerful. Yet before the Dissociation Disc, which can arrange genuine Immortal Formations, it can still be killed like an ant in an instant."

Li Fan's current Half Immortal realm had been achieved through merging with the Dao of Ink Death. In other words, immediately after achieving Dao Integration, before upgrading his other divine abilities to the level of a Half Immortal, Li Fan himself was actually not much stronger than the Ink Death of the Celestial Spirit of Heaven and Earth.

Likewise, before an Immortal Formation arranged by himself, he would be completely powerless to resist.

"It is like a child holding an Immortal treasure. Offense and defense are completely disproportionate."

"And the reason for this ridiculous situation..."

Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly and attempted to absorb the silver starlight in his palm into his body.

Yet the starlight remained completely unmoved.

"Immortal Spiritual Qi. But I cannot use it?"

The reason the Dissociation Disc displayed such unimaginable capabilities was because, during the critical moment of his Dao Integration in his previous life, Li Fan had extracted a strand of immortal spiritual qi obtained by the Xuanhuang Realm from the inheritance of the Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable and transferred it to the Dissociation Disc.

Only after obtaining the immortal spiritual qi did the Dissociation Disc undergo its true transformation.

Moreover, this transformation seemed to have been even more complete than that of the Xuanhuang Realm and Li Fan himself.

To verify the speculation in his heart, Li Fan's thoughts shifted slightly, and countless stars within the Dissociation Disc began to shine.

Immortal power flowed forth, instantly forming a miniature Immortal Formation before Li Fan.

From the outside, it looked like a silver ring about the size of a palm. In reality, its core was the [Illusory Xuanhuang, Multitudinous Living Beings] Formation, combined with the laws contained within the [Restrain] character art. Once the ring flew out, it could easily suppress any existence below the Immortal level.

The stars of the Dissociation Disc continued to shine.

One silver ring after another appeared accordingly.

They lined up before Li Fan.

Only after a full ninety-nine silver rings had been formed did the Dissociation Disc reach its limit and have no choice but to stop.

The energy contained within each of these silver rings was greater than that of the mortal Illusory Formation that Li Fan had painstakingly arranged in his previous life to encompass the entire Xuanhuang Realm.

After all, the difference between the Immortal and mortal realms could not be measured in ordinary terms.

Even after advancing into an Immortal Artifact, arranging ninety-nine Immortal Formations at once seemed to have reached its limit.

Li Fan stared at the Dissociation Disc, which seemed to have exhausted its immortal spiritual qi.

Yet he soon saw that within the countless sub-discs resembling stars, new strands of immortal spiritual qi were slowly regenerating.

Li Fan was certain that during this process of depletion and rebirth, the Dissociation Disc had not absorbed any energy from the outside world.

"In a certain sense, it is infinite."

Li Fan pondered this thoughtfully.

At the same time, a trace of regret and deep confusion rose within his heart.

"After the Wuming succeeded the Great Celestial Venerable, I once used the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao to observe and inspect the four remaining Immortal Artifacts."

"They indeed contained Immortal Spiritual Qi, but every bit consumed was permanently lost. They could never achieve what the Immortal Rank Dissociation Disc can do, with immortal spiritual qi that can be drawn upon endlessly and used without exhaustion."

"What exactly is going on?"

Li Fan's eyes flickered as his thoughts surged.

After pondering for a long time, he temporarily reached a conclusion.

"Perhaps when the Immortal Realm bestowed the Immortal Artifacts upon the Xuanhuang Realm, it deliberately imposed restrictions upon them."

"But now that the Immortal Realm has been destroyed, newly born Immortal Artifacts are no longer constrained by the upper realm. Thus, they have regained the characteristics that Immortal Artifacts originally possessed."

"But..."

Li Fan once again felt that something was not quite right.

If immortal spiritual qi alone was enough to recreate Immortal Artifacts in their prime on a large scale, then the successive Great Celestial Venerables of the Xuanhuang Realm in ancient times should have long ago destroyed all their old Immortal Artifacts and forged new ones.

"Perhaps it has something to do with the Final Dissociation Disc itself."

After a long while, Li Fan suddenly understood something.

"The Final Dissociation Disc was formed through the fusion of the Final Disc and the Dissociation Disc. Both of them were secondary bodies of the Tianxuan Mirror."

"The Tianxuan Mirror was one of the Immortal Artifacts that the Xuantian King brought back from the Immortal Realm."

"In a certain sense, the Final Dissociation Disc itself is a descendant of an Immortal Artifact."

"Moreover..."

Images of how he had obtained the Final Dissociation Disc flashed through Li Fan's mind.

Gu Xinghan, a disciple of the Medicine King Sect who possessed the Dissociation Disc transformed from Li Fan himself, had coincidentally obtained the Final Disc.

The two gradually merged after coming into contact with each other.

After Gu Xinghan died, the object was buried deep underground along with him, where it endured thousands of years.

It could be said that the birth of the Final Dissociation Disc was itself an exceedingly rare and extraordinarily difficult occurrence.

"Perhaps simply fusing two secondary bodies is still not enough. They must also undergo the tempering of time, perhaps even the destruction and rebirth of an entire world, before they can meet the conditions necessary to advance into an Immortal Artifact..."

Only then did Li Fan truly understand just how fortunate he had been to obtain the Final Dissociation Disc back then.

Although he did not understand the underlying principle, regardless of the reason, Li Fan had now mastered this Immortal Artifact.

He was naturally extremely satisfied with the power of the Dissociation Disc. The only thing troubling him was that he could not absorb or use the immortal spiritual qi contained within and generated by the Immortal Artifact itself.

Li Fan made another attempt to transfer the immortal spiritual qi within the Dissociation Disc into other objects.

For example, the Myriad Beasts Condensed Crystal and the Dao Deviation Stone, among others.

Yet without exception, the silver starlight passed straight through them without stopping in the slightest.

Those objects that had been infused with it seemed completely unaware that any immortal spiritual qi existed within them.

"It seems that this infinite immortal spiritual qi can only be used by the Dissociation Disc itself."

"It is not that I cannot use it. Nobody can."

Li Fan shook his head slightly and pondered inwardly.

"No wonder the Xuantian King, despite plundering so many treasures from the Immortal Realm, still found it so difficult to advance from the Half Immortal realm."

"The relationship between a artifact and another artifact, or a artifact and an immortal, is not the same."

"I am afraid that even the immortal spiritual qi within the Faceless Immortal, the True Immortal, could not be transferred to the Xuantian King for his use. Otherwise, given the friendship between the two of them, and considering the infinite nature of immortal spiritual qi, the Faceless Immortal should not have been unwilling to lend him a hand."

Suddenly, Li Fan recalled another matter concerning the Xuantian King that he had learned from Ji Yuzhen's memories.

"But it is said that the Xuantian King was able to extract immortal spiritual qi from the Great Mage and refine and absorb it. How should that be explained?"

"The shattered memories of the Dharma King of the Xuantian Sect cannot be completely trusted."

"But they have nevertheless given me a warning. After returning to the Xuanhuang Realm in this life, I must be wary of that mysterious Grand Mage..."

Li Fan stood within the Star Sea, his thoughts taking a long time to finally settle.

It was only then that he reopened the [Truth] panel and examined the specific changes that had occurred after his advancement to Dao Integration and his strength reaching the Half-Immortal realm.

Name: Li Fan

Realm: Immortal

Physical Age: ...

Psychological Age: ...

Virtualization Charging Progress: 50%

Anchoring Charge Progress: 0%

Current Number of Anchors: 3

Currently Available Anchors: 1

Bound Items: [Nameless... Leg Bone], [Descends into Mortal World], [Final Dissociation Disc, Immortal Rank], Dao Deviation Stone, Xuantian Mirror Origin (Fragment), Taiyan Ark, Ten Thousand Beasts Condensed Crystal, Ten Thousand People Blood Essence.

...

That was far less than he had imagined.

How could such a lifespan be worthy of the legendary Immortal?

Moreover, according to Li Fan's observations, this constantly changing number was not changing at a uniform rate.

Instead, in most cases, after a certain period of time passed, it would suddenly plunge and decrease.

Only on extremely rare occasions would it increase.

Li Fan stared intently at this incomparably profound string of numbers.

Suddenly, an inexplicable insight surged into his heart.

'An Immortal's lifespan certainly cannot be a mere few million years.'

'Yet according to [Truth]'s judgment, I can only survive for this long at most...'

A golden light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and Li Fan instantly realized the truth.

'It is because this is the lifespan of the [Mortal World], not mine!'

As if he had discovered some earth-shattering secret, even Li Fan, who had already become a Half-Immortal, could not help but feel his heart pounding violently.

'When that constantly changing number reaches zero, the entire Mortal World will simultaneously reach its end.'

'Every living being within it will be plunged into eternal ruin along with it!'

'If I am within it, and I do not activate [Truth], then the same will happen to me!'

'Wait!'

Li Fan pondered this, and his heart suddenly began pounding even faster.

'In the past, my psycholgical age did not change along with T[ruth].'

'It was determined solely by what I personally experienced.'

'Then, once my mental age has already merged with this string of numbers and disappeared...'

Li Fan's expression became somewhat grim.

'Even if I repeatedly activate [Truth], the countdown to the death of this [Mortal World] will not change at all?'

'The arrival of this true world-ending calamity cannot be reversed simply by me using [Truth]?'

He had only just ascended to immortality and had barely had time to feel excited.
