Li Fan thought for a mont and eventually decided to give up for the ti being.
"You may choose to consu 100,000 contribution points to save the progress of this advancent and deduction."
"The next ti, you can continue the deduction from the saved checkpoint."
"You currently have three divine ability deduction record slots available. Additional slots can be unlocked by spending contribution points."
...
Li Fan fell silent.
In the end, he reluctantly chose to save the progress.
Then, he infused the [Heaven-Shattering Heart Sword] with divine abilities.
A brilliant seven-colored radiance suddenly burst from the miniature figure of Li Fan.
The figure transitioned from solid to illusory, slowly solidifying. Finally, it transford into a seven-colored prism that floated gently before Li Fan.
Li Fan reached out and grasped it. In an instant, the prism seed to dissolve, shrinking smaller and smaller.
At the sa ti, countless images and insights surged into Li Fan’s mind.
It was the perfect fusion of the Congyun Sea Sword and the Heaven-Overturning Palm, forming a brand-new divine ability.
The effect of the divine infusion was even better than achieving an epiphany on his own.
When the prism in his hand completely disappeared, Li Fan had fully mastered the [Heaven-Shattering Heart Sword].
"Congratulations! You have successfully acquired a new divine ability."
"Would you like to apply the new divine ability to your character template?"
Of course, Li Fan confird his choice.
Monts later, a brand-new miniature figure of Li Fan appeared before him.
Its expression was calm, and its aura was noticeably stronger than that of the previous figure.
Using this new character, Li Fan initiated challenges against other cultivators.
Within monts, amidst the shifting heavens and earth and the flashing sword light, his opponent was already defeated.
"You have accumulated a battle experience entry. Would you like to extract and infuse it?"
The chanical voice of the Tianxuan Mirror rang out once more.
"No need for now. Activate the auto-challenge function," Li Fan said in a deep voice.
"Proxy mode has been activated. In this mode, the specified character template will automatically seek suitable targets for battles. Each proxy battle costs 10,000 contribution points," the chanical voice of the Tianxuan Mirror echoed. 𝑅Ἀℕố฿ĚṦ
"This pricing is much more reasonable," Li Fan thought to himself.
Watching the miniature figure before him autonomously engage in battles with new cultivators, Li Fan exhaled deeply and temporarily exited the [Sitting and Discussing Dao] interface.
Although not much actual ti had passed, he felt a peculiar sense of having been away for ages.
Clearing his mind, Li Fan exchanged insights on the Tianxuan Mirror's divine deduction with other cultivators.
It was only then that he realized his earlier actions were indeed quite wasteful.
Typically, ordinary cultivators rely on their own comprehension to deduce divine abilities. Only when they are stuck at a critical point and unable to proceed do they resort to the Tianxuan Mirror.
The reason is simple: the contribution points required for divine deduction with the Tianxuan Mirror are exorbitantly high, far beyond what most cultivators can afford.
"But on the flip side, contribution points are rely a currency used by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to maintain its operations. They hold no real intrinsic value."
"If soone could master the permissions of the Tianxuan Mirror, wouldn’t they be able to deduce any divine ability they desire?"
"After two millennia of reconstruction, how powerful have the high-level cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance beco?"
Li Fan couldn’t help but feel astonished.
However, he suddenly recalled a hypothesis he had entertained a long ti ago.
The Tianxuan Mirror is the true ruler of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Now, it seems that even if the truth deviates sowhat from his speculation, cultivators may not have absolute control over the Tianxuan Mirror.
Rather than one side having complete control, it’s more like a relationship of mutual cooperation and restraint.
This notion could be glimpsed from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s efforts to manipulate the Xuantian Spirit Locking Formation, requiring the excavation of the Xuantian Sect’s Dharma King.
...
After mastering a new divine ability, Li Fan, who hadn’t engaged in combat for a long ti, couldn't help but feel an itch in his hands.
Looking around, he couldn’t imdiately find a suitable opponent.
Fortunately, the heavens seed to be on his side, as he soon encountered the perfect sparring target.
Liu San sent a ssage, informing him that he had returned to Shenhua Island.
Li Fan’s heart stirred, and he quietly left Congyun City, also heading back to the island.
When he saw Liu San in front of him, he noticed that Liu San seed slightly older compared to when they had last parted.
"It seems the Samantabhadra True Boat still cannot completely eliminate the effects of the White Mist that depletes one’s lifespan," Li Fan realized inwardly.
However, he didn’t show any signs of knowing this and instead stared at Liu San in apparent surprise.
He then feigned shock and said, "Elder Liu, what happened to you? Has your lifespan decreased?"
Liu San nodded.
Li Fan pretended to be furious and said, "Outrageous! When I purchased that Samantabhadra True Boat, the seller swore it would completely isolate the White Mist’s effect of consuming lifespan."
"How dare he deceive ! I’ll make him pay for this!"
Li Fan, filled with anger, turned around as if to leave imdiately.
Seeing how concerned Li Fan was and how angry he beca on his behalf, a hint of emotion flashed in Liu San’s eyes.
He quickly stopped Li Fan and persuaded him, "Young Master, let it go. We are newcors here, and it’s better to avoid unnecessary conflicts."
"It’s just a few years of lifespan. This old servant’s humble life is insignificant compared to the revival of the dicine King Sect."
"Besides, rchants tend to exaggerate their claims to sell their products. It may not have been intentional deception."
Under Liu San’s persuasion, Li Fan’s expression shifted several tis before he finally snorted coldly and gave up on imdiate revenge.
"Did you gain anything during this trip, Elder Liu?" After making the appropriate gestures, Li Fan asked calmly.
"Thankfully, I did not fail in my mission!" Liu San’s face revealed a smile.
"The heavens have not forsaken our dicine King Sect! I searched nearly all the locations you marked, finding nothing."
"Just as I was about to give up, I discovered traces of the Longevity Valley at the last location!"
Hearing this, Li Fan’s eyes lit up.
Liu San, looking excited, continued, "I entered the valley and saw it for myself. Perhaps due to its location within the White Mist Barrier, the secret realm seems untouched by cultivators for thousands of years."
"Compared to when we last left, the spiritual energy inside, the growth density of spiritual plants, and dicinal herbs have all improved significantly!"
"Moreover, the formation we set up back then is still operational, having automatically collected and stored a large amount of mature herbs over the years."
Liu San spoke at length, finally concluding, "Reclaiming the Longevity Valley gives us hope for the revival of the dicine King Sect!"
Hearing this, Li Fan also beca visibly excited. "Excellent! Elder Liu, this ti you have truly made a great contribution!"
"Once the matters here at Congyun Sea are settled in a few days, we will head to the Longevity Valley."
Liu San nodded in agreent.
However, he seed to recall sothing and furrowed his brows slightly.
This subtle change did not escape Li Fan’s sharp eyes. He asked, "Elder Liu, do you have any concerns?"
