The withered yellow paper figure thrashed in Li Fan's hand like so kind of living creature. Its facial expression was furious and eerie. It even emitted faint, sharp cries, its body writhing desperately in an attempt to break free.
But it was destined to remain within Li Fan's grasp.
After briefly explaining the origins of the Du'e Sect's paper figures to Mo Rubin, Li Fan exerted a slight force. The paper figure in his hand let out a miserable scream. Then, the yellow hue gradually faded, and the paper figure turned transparent.
Yet its faint outline did not vanish; it still lingered within the Xuanhuang Realm.
"If you had not reminded , brother Xingwang, I truly would not have noticed all these paper figures scattered throughout the Xuanhuang Realm!" Mo Rubin was both shocked and furious. "This Du'e Sect is truly courting death!"
"You know, although the thod is utterly vile, it is indeed effective. Rooted in the world, coexisting with the Xuanhuang's heaven and earth. Even after I clear them out like this, they can still regenerate from the imprints left in the world. No wonder the Immortal Ancestor had no better solution for the Du'e Sect back then." As he spoke, Li Fan pulled another paper figure from the space and crushed it viciously.
"In any era, there are always such parasitic figures in the world. This is also why so in the sect back then opposed saving the Xuanhuang and suggested leaving on our own instead."
"If we truly succeeded in saving the world, and the Du'e Sect reerged... that would be the height of disgust." Mo Rubin's face was also extrely grim.
"No matter. The Xuanhuang Realm has reached this point; it is probably beyond saving. The fate of the Du'e Sect will simply be to be buried alongside the Xuanhuang Realm in the Immortal Ruins." Li Fan, however, remained utterly calm.
Mo Rubing also cald down: "You are right, brother Xingwang. Business cos first."
"The seal-breaking formation is nearly complete. You should make preparations on your end as well. We can begin the operation at any ti."
Li Fan nodded in agreent.
Watching Mo Rubin's receding figure, Li Fan harbored thoughts in his heart that were utterly at odds with his words.
"Relying on the long-missing Xuantian King to lead an escape to the Darkest Star Sea..."
"The outco will likely disappoint you. But I can understand; one must see a person alive or a corpse if dead. The Xuantian King's personal charisma is indeed worth his twelve Dharma Kings still bitterly searching for his traces even after ten thousand years."
"The savior of the Xuanhuang, eh."
Li Fan's face showed no sorrow or joy as he quietly returned to the Spiritwood Realm.
Compared to the desolate scene at the very beginning of this world, the current Spiritwood Realm truly carried the air of a [Federation of All Worlds].
The concentration of spiritual energy was no longer inferior to ordinary regions of the Xuanhuang Realm, and its reserves of formation arts and artifact-refining techniques firmly surpassed the Xuanhuang Realm.
The various forces in the Spiritwood Realm were all carrying out tasks in accordance with Li Fan's will.
After fully integrating all the popular pill formulas of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the dicine King Sect successfully developed a pill nad the [Deficiency-Supplenting Pill].
The na might seem unremarkable, but it derived from the principle of "the Heavenly Dao has deficiencies; supplent them with pills." Upon ingestion, cultivators would gain a massive amount of cultivation from the pill, allowing their realm to advance rapidly.
Even more marvelous was that the Deficiency-Supplenting Pill could also delay the bottlenecks imposed by the Heavenly Calamity. As long as the pills continued, there would be no bottleneck troubles.
Of course, the side effects are equally formidable. The more Deficiency-Supplenting Pills one consus, the stronger the dependency becos. This is not re addiction; rather, after overconsuming Deficiency-Supplenting Pills, the amount of cultivation gained through one's own practice will steadily decrease. In the end, one can only rely on Deficiency-Supplenting Pills to acquire cultivation. Yet the cultivation contained in a single Deficiency-Supplenting Pill is fixed, while higher realms require ever greater amounts.
According to the deductions of Liu Ruchen and the others, the Deficiency-Supplenting Pill can support a cultivator's progress up to the Soul Transformation realm at most.
Beyond that, even a lifeti of pill consumption would likely fail to accumulate sufficient cultivation.
The side effects of the Deficiency-Supplenting Pill extend further still.
Though the Deficiency-Supplenting Pill is said to "[Supplent the Deficiencies of the Heavenly Dao]," in truth it is rely a pill for acquiring cultivation, nothing more; it holds no true mystical power to seize the creation of heaven and earth. However, after a cultivator swallows a Deficiency-Supplenting Pill, a faint, presumptuous notion arises in their heart: the urge to supplent the deficiencies of the Heavenly Dao.
A re Soul Transformation True Monarch, aspiring to such a nding the heaven act; it would only lead to self-destruction.
As Liu Ruchen explained, the na "Deficiency-Supplenting Pill" was not arbitrarily chosen by them. Rather, when the pill was ford, it resonated with the Great Dao of heaven and earth, and the na erged naturally from the void.
As for why a pill that increases cultivation would earn the characters "[Deficiency-Supplenting]," the people of the dicine King Sect were equally baffled.
Yet this did not hinder the use of the Deficiency-Supplenting Pill.
Li Fan paid little heed to its side effects. With the widespread distribution of large quantities of Buque Pills, the cultivation levels of cultivators across the various small worlds rose rapidly.
Soon, over a hundred Golden Core Lords erged.
The clone Li Qing, following the plan, led them into the secret realm of the Chaoyuan Sect.
This was the first feasible test. If successful, the Spiritwood Realm would soon mass-produce Nascent Soul True Lords in the future.
...
In comparison, Master Qiaogong's modifications to Tianyang progressed far more slowly.
Theory, after all, differs from practice.
Building a true Immortal-grade puppet involved difficulties far beyond imagination. Fortunately, Master Qiaogong, Fang Zaiji, and Tianyang all took great delight in the work. After observing for a ti, Li Fan chose not to disturb them.
"As long as I acquire their research before the end of this lifeti."
In the underground chamber, Li Fan settled his mind and spirit.
In a daze, his perspective rose continuously, ascending above the skies and overlooking the lands of the Spiritwood Realm.
The vast Spiritwood Realm appeared in Li Fan's eyes as no larger than a palm.
Green luminescence shimred everywhere, while the grand formation resembled intricate patterns etched upon the world's surface, faintly visible.
After the Final Dissociation Disc completed its upgrade and transformation, Li Fan had once again Formation-refined the Spiritwood Realm.
One could say that this small world was now essentially a massive magical treasure under Li Fan's control.
With a stir in his heart, Li Fan summoned the [Truth] panel.
The prompt for [Truth] appeared as well.
"Would you like to use an unused anchor point to replace the bound item?"
Li Fan pondered for a mont but ultimately made no choice for now.
Though the Spiritwood Realm had developed to its current scale with great difficulty, if Li Fan lived another lifeti, he could absolutely rebuild it, perhaps even better.
Anchor points were hard to co by. If they must be used to replace a bound item, then it had to be for sothing extrely difficult to replicate, sothing that, once missed, could never be regained.
"I have already used three anchor points. The initial anchor was the mont I first transmigrated to this world."
"The second anchor was at the peak of Jieli Mountain, with the Canghai Pearl as the Foundation Establishnt wondrous item and late Foundation Establishnt cultivation."
"The third anchor was also at Jieli Mountain, with [Truth] as the Foundation Establishnt wondrous item and similarly later stage cultivation."
"Perhaps after this lifeti ends, I can set another anchor."
