A man dressed in a Daoist robe, and a white-robed cultivator dressed like a scholar. Li Fan had already seen the illusory figures of these two before. They were respectively the Truth Heavenly Sovereign and the Human Dao Heavenly Sovereign. Within the Land of Truth, no lies could exist. As for the Human Dao Heavenly Land, anyone could overturn heaven and earth, regardless of their cultivation, so long as their heart and nature were utterly sincere.

As for the final one, he was a young man with an extraordinary and otherworldly bearing, appearing to be no more than twenty years old.

Although Li Fan had never met him in reality, he had encountered him once during the trial in the Fallen Immortal Illusion Realm.

Ji Wangxian!

Ten thousand years ago, he had single-handedly established the [World Heaven Chamber of Commerce], which spread throughout the Xuanhuang Realm, and used spirit stones to construct an incomparably luxurious heavenly city.

“I never expected that the Ji Family's Ancestor, once notorious for being unscrupulously greedy in business, would transform himself into the representative of the Contract.”

“However, back then, the entire Ji Family, including the World Heaven Chamber of Commerce, was supposedly merely a cultivation tool for Ji Wangxian. After the great transformation of heaven and earth, he still wanted to maintain his state of longevity, so it makes sense that he would switch to a new cultivation method.”

Li Fan also immediately understood the exact situation of the Wanfa Chamber of Commerce, headquartered in Nine Mountains Prefecture and situated between the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance and the Five Elders Association.

“The Wanfa Chamber of Commerce is a remnant of the former World Heaven Chamber of Commerce. After Ji Wangxian attained the Dao of Longevity, this merchant association became useless to him. However, since it was once the direct force of one of the Five Heavenly Sovereigns, as long as it remained peaceful, neither the Five Elders Association nor the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance would actively cause trouble for it. It could also serve as a middle ground for facilitating private transactions between the two sides.”

“But that is all it amounts to. Before true power, the so-called Wanfa Chamber of Commerce is no different from the other ants of the world. Back then, beneath a single palm strike from the Immortal Ancestor, it turned to ashes along with the countless living beings of Nine Mountains Prefecture.”

His thoughts raced as Li Fan's gaze swept across the three newly arrived Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereigns one by one.

Clearly, they had already learned from Carefree about the unfathomable depth of Li Fan's cultivation. Although they appeared calm and continued to maintain the bearing of the Xuanhuang Realm's supreme experts, Li Fan could faintly discern their restraint.

“Hehehe, do not be nervous.”

“The Immortal Ancestor has already been suppressed by me.”

Li Fan spoke these words lightly, yet the five Heavenly Sovereigns present immediately felt their hairs stand on end.

And when they saw the Immortal Ancestor himself, trapped within countless illusions in Li Fan's palm, seemingly asleep yet seemingly awake, their faces inevitably paled. One after another, they lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Li Fan.

Carefree in particular could not stop trembling once again. She was filled with lingering fear over her previous rude and foolish attempt to test Li Fan.

Before this, although the Five Heavenly Sovereigns knew that this senior, who had suddenly descended and was suspected to be a True Immortal, possessed immense strength, they had never had any concrete understanding of exactly how powerful he was.

Now they knew, the Immortal Ancestor had suppressed the Xuanhuang Realm for an entire era, forcing even the five of them to submit when they joined forces. Yet this same existence had been casually suppressed by the other party with a mere flip of his hand.

How could such strength not fill the five of them with dread?

Li Fan, however, seemed to disregard their feelings entirely and continued calmly, “There is a separation between immortals and mortals. I will not interfere with you excessively. However, there are some matters that require a little assistance from you.”

“Senior, please give your orders!” Carefree was the first to respond.

Her eagerness was completely abnormal compared to her usual indifference toward worldly affairs, causing the other four Heavenly Sovereigns to glance sideways at her.

However, anyone who could attain the Dao of Longevity within the Xuanhuang Realm was naturally no fool. They all followed suit and expressed their willingness.

“I have come here for one thing. The Soul-Grinding Plate.”

As soon as Li Fan said this, Carefree and the others all turned their gazes toward the man dressed in the Daoist robe.

The Truth Heavenly Sovereign's face twitched slightly. He then cupped his hands, took out a stone object resembling a millstone, and handed it over.

Li Fan saw that the Soul-Grinding Plate still seemed to be rotating slightly without end. Beneath it, one could vaguely hear the miserable wails of countless souls being crushed beneath the enormous stone mill.

There was indeed a faint disturbance coming from [Truth] as well.

Within the Soul-Grinding Plate were fifty-six remnant souls and one hundred and three skeletal remains. Yet the aura emanating from these remnant souls and skeletal remains was actually stronger than that of countless wandering souls and ghosts.

After carefully examining it, Li Fan saw through the mystery.

The Soul-Grinding Plate was like an enormous stone mill, continuously grinding these remnant souls and skeletal remains without rest. In theory, no matter how extraordinary they were, they could not withstand such torment. At most, they would survive for another decade or so before being completely obliterated.

Yet they had endured from ancient times until now.

This was because, every moment, streams of pure energy emerged from the Soul-Grinding Plate, nourishing these remnant souls.

It maintained their vitality without allowing them to perish, only for them to once again endure the torment of being crushed beneath the enormous stone mill.

This cycle repeated endlessly, as though they were trapped within an infernal prison with no end.

Li Fan finally understood how these existences, which were suspected to be Eternal Remnant Wills, had come into being.

“Not a bad method.” Li Fan gave a faint evaluation.

The Truth Heavenly Sovereign lowered his head and did not dare respond.

Li Fan exerted a little force with his hand.

In an instant, the enormous stone mill vanished into thin air.

The remnant souls and skeletal remains were freed and absorbed by [Truth].

The small amount of pure energy remaining within the stone mill also gave Li Fan a faint sense of familiarity.

It was exactly the same as the pure cultivation base formed after erasing one's own techniques by practicing the Taishang Primordial True Scripture and dissolving one's own cultivation technique.

“Survivor of the Taishang Sect.”

Li Fan glanced at the Truth Heavenly Sovereign, his expression thoughtful.

Using the Taishang Primordial True Scripture to transform cultivation, not all of it is inherited. A small portion instead disappears into thin air, its whereabouts unknown. Now it seems that it had actually flowed into the hands of the Taishang Sect.

“The life and death of the cultivators under heaven have nothing to do with me. It truly fits Taishang's persona.”

Back when the great catastrophe descended upon the Xuanhuang Realm, some members of the Ten Great Immortal Sects had already fled in advance. People like One-Heart and Truth Heavenly Sovereign might prove extraordinarily useful in the process of exploring what lay beyond the High Wall.

Li Fan temporarily paid them no attention and instead focused wholeheartedly on sensing the changes in [Truth].

Compared to [Truth]'s previous greedy and pleasurable desire to devour, its reaction this time was somewhat strange.

It was as if it had eaten something extremely difficult to swallow and wanted to spit it out. Yet it continued swallowing it bite by bite, repeatedly forcing itself to endure.

Li Fan's expression became somewhat subtle.

He stood motionless, examining the notifications transmitted by [Truth].

Several Longevity Immortal cultivators from the Five Elders Association also stood respectfully at his sides, not daring to move.

Perhaps this Eternal Remnant Will had not been condensed from a single person, but had instead been formed from numerous fragmented souls.

Li Fan had not even experienced the trial of the true illusion scene before [Truth] directly succeeded in absorbing it.

“Unlocked the [Unceasing Reincarnation] function.”

There was not even any poetry this time. It merely perfunctorily gave this one sentence.

“Unceasing Reincarnation...”

Even so, these four words immediately aroused Li Fan's interest.

“Using a certain life that has been experienced in the past as a template, create a period of time with a beginning and an end.”

“Any living being that is incapable of resisting can be thrown into this period of time.”

“If an identity corresponding to the living being exists within this timeline, the living being will possess that identity. If no such identity exists, possession will be assigned randomly.”

“The identity possessed by the living being can be designated.”

“The living being thrown into the reincarnation will lose all memories unrelated to the reincarnation.”

“Throughout the entire period of Unceasing Reincarnation, only the memories of the living being thrown into it will be retained.”

“Time will continuously reincarnate from beginning to end. The events that occur according to the fixed template will serve as linear constraints, ensuring that the Unceasing Reincarnation does not deviate from its original trajectory.”

“Unceasing Reincarnation depends upon my existence. Every time [Truth] is activated and returns to the initial anchor point, the reincarnation that was created will disappear and must be recreated. It is also possible to pay a certain price to choose to preserve it.”

“The flow of time within Unceasing Reincarnation is one thousand times faster than the normal spacetime I have experienced. It can also be accelerated to a considerable degree according to my needs...”

The description of Unceasing Reincarnation was far more complicated than the previous [Embodiment] and [Dao Origin] functions.

But in reality, it was very easy to understand.

It was simply a constantly repeating period of history that Li Fan had once experienced.

One had to know that every time Li Fan forced [Truth], a great terror would descend. This also meant that within Unceasing Reincarnation, every few decades would bring about a catastrophic calamity.

Furthermore, because [Truth] itself imposed restrictions, the living beings undergoing reincarnation would be unable to make the same gradual progress that Li Fan did each time and ultimately defy heaven to change their fate.

“It can even continuously observe the condition of the living being trapped within the reincarnation...”

“Interesting. Truly interesting.”

As if he had found some novel toy, a wave of curiosity surged within Li Fan's heart.

“Qiao Sidao was able to escape after billions upon billions of reincarnations throughout an Era.”

“Then, is there anyone who can escape from the Unceasing Reincarnation created by [Truth]?”

According to [Truth]'s explanation, the Unceasing Reincarnation would only end when the final outcome of the reincarnation underwent a complete deviation.

Yet the living being trapped within it would still be unable to escape.

Only the reincarnation timeline itself would enter a state of nothingness between truth and illusion.

It would wait for Li Fan to issue his next command.

Whether to release the living being trapped within it, or create a new Unceasing Reincarnation.

“It truly lives up to the name Unceasing.”

Li Fan was almost moved to applaud. He suddenly turned around and looked toward Truth Heavenly Sovereign.

A meaningful smile appeared on his face, and then he lightly pointed toward him.

One of the few Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereigns in the Xuanhuang Realm disappeared silently before everyone's eyes.

His life and death were unknown.

The remaining Carefree and the others were horrified.

Yet they had absolutely no thought of avenging Truth Heavenly Sovereign. They could only secretly pray that this True Immortal senior before them would spare their lives.

The entire process of the True Immortal suppressing Truth Heavenly Sovereign produced not the slightest fluctuation of energy. In a manner completely beyond their understanding, he simply disappeared.

They could not even speak of resisting. They could not even comprehend what they were seeing.

The difference between them was simply too vast, to the point that they had no courage to resist at all.

At this moment, however, Li Fan's attention had already been focused on the Unceasing Reincarnation that had been opened.

The period of history he chose was the one in which he himself, as a Holy Embryo, rode the Medicine King True Cauldron and charged toward the Immortal Ruins, ultimately provoking the Hunger Immortal to destroy the world with a single glance.
