These four were all Dao Integration cultivators, their gazes burning as they stared at the Holy Embryo Li Fan, their own auras surging.
Li Fan showed no trace of nervousness, rely cupping his hands toward the left and right: "Fellow seniors, please stay calm for a mont while I make one final confirmation."
"However, I need to split off a wisp of divine sense to go there!"
With that, Li Fan pointed his index finger at the Law Derivative little girl who was sprawled on the long table, fast asleep.
The four Dao Integration cultivators exchanged glances with one another.
All of them looked troubled.
Li Fan simply waited quietly for them to decide.
"Kid, is there no other way?"
Li Fan replied indifferently: "The saying goes, prescribe the right dicine for the illness. If you misdiagnose the cause and force a treatnt, it could instead cause even greater damage."
"It's just the most minute wisp of divine sense, ant only for observation and communication. It probably couldn't even harm an ordinary mortal..."
"If you're truly uneasy about it, then forget it."
The four Dao Integration cultivators discussed it among themselves for a while longer.
In the end, they still decided to let the Holy Embryo Li Fan give it a try.
After Li Fan split off a wisp of divine sense, he imdiately felt four different strands of divine sense latch onto it like chains.
The five ford a connected whole.
Everything seen and heard could be fully shared, and they could even communicate with one another.
"Let's go."
Four voices rang out in Li Fan's mind at once.
Knowing this was a necessary precaution, Li Fan had no objections.
In the next mont, the five wisps of divine sense flew together into the Law Derivative little girl's sea of consciousness.
It was a world brimming with radiant golden light, where one cultivation thod after another floated about.
Like an ocean of books, vast and boundless.
Upon entering, one's divine sense nearly lost all sense of direction.
Li Fan could clearly see the nas of the cultivation thods drifting past him, and if he could, he would even be able to browse their contents freely.
If not for the four powerful divine senses watching him like hawks.
Suppressing the urge to peek at the countless cultivation thods, Li Fan's divine sense manifested a form and shouted loudly toward the surroundings: "Little one, stop pretending to sleep! Co out!"
Though the voice was not loud, in this world filled entirely with cultivation thods, it stood out completely as sothing alien.
It spread unyieldingly in all directions.
At that mont, the four Dao Integration cultivators' divine senses also manifested forms one after another.
"What did you say? The Law Derivation Jade is pretending to sleep?"
"How is that possible?"
They had never even considered such an outco, and their faces were full of disbelief as they stared blankly at Li Fan.
Li Fan ignored them entirely and continued calling out on his own: "Little one, do you think pretending to sleep will reduce your workload? What's ant for you will always be yours! You can't escape it!" ℞åƝÓʙËȘ
"When you wake up, won't you still have to keep deriving? You'll even have to make up for what you've owed during this ti..."
Li Fan sounded just like a black-hearted boss urging his subordinate to work, chattering on endlessly.
Even the four Guardian Hall Dao Integration cultivators couldn't help but frown slightly upon hearing it.
In this way, who knew how much ti passed.
"So noisy!"
A petite figure suddenly appeared above Li Fan's head.
She held a wooden club several tis larger than herself and swung it down toward Li Fan's head.
"Zhou..."
"You're awake!"
The four Dao Integration cultivators' faces lit up with joy at the sight.
Though Li Fan's actual combat strength was quite weak, he was not so incapable that he couldn't dodge such an obvious attack.
His form flickered, evading the Law Derivative little girl's strike.
With a swing that missed its mark, the little girl slung the wooden staff over her shoulder and stord up to Li Fan in a huff: "What do you an, little brat? This auntie is thousands of years old! I'm not sure how many tis older than you!"
Li Fan's expression darkened as he scolded: "If that's the case, then why maintain the appearance of a child and insist on pretending to sleep?"
"Who knows how many people are worried about you!"
The Law Derivative little girl's body trembled, and her montum weakened instantly.
But soon after, she let out a cold snort and stubbornly insisted: "None of your business! You're so annoying! If it weren't for you, they never would have noticed!"
As she spoke, she quietly touched the massive wooden staff on her shoulder.
She sized up Li Fan, a malicious glint flashing in her eyes.
Li Fan, anwhile, turned to look at the four Dao Integration experts and cupped his hands in respect.
Everything was understood without words.
"Oh, my little ancestor, why are you throwing a tantrum again..."
The white-haired elder approached the Law Derivative little girl with a wry smile, his face full of helplessness.
"Do you know that in just these few days, the Guardian Hall has nearly ground to a halt? So many urgent matters have been forcibly delayed..."
"What does that have to do with !" The wooden staff on her shoulder vanished, and the little girl covered her ears, acting as if she heard nothing, nothing at all.
"I've already worked continuously for two thousand three hundred twenty-seven days! That's already exhausting enough! And the vacation I was promised before suddenly disappeared!" she said, puffing out her cheeks in anger.
"I don't care! I want a vacation!"
Who would have thought that this was the reason behind the Derivation Law Jade deliberate feigned sleep.
The four Guardian Hall Dao Integration experts all exchanged helpless, bitter smiles.
"This is just a situation with its reasons..."
The four of them chid in one after another, constantly comforting and advising her.
It took quite so effort before they finally persuaded the Law Derivative little girl to change her mind.
She agreed to rest just one more day before resuming work.
With that said, the little girl vanished in a huff.
The others were also forcibly ejected from the girl's sea of consciousness.
Returning to their own bodies, the group looked toward the distant orb where the characters' transformations had returned to normal speed, and they all let out a sigh of relief.
"Little brother, may I ask how you saw through the Law Derivative Jade pretense of sleep?"
The white-haired elder turned to Li Fan at this mont, asking curiously.
His attitude had softened considerably, no longer as cold as before.
"It's a unique secret technique; I cannot disclose it." Li Fan showed no flattered surprise at being treated as an equal by Dao Integration cultivators; he simply refused to answer the question.
A trace of embarrassnt flashed across the white-haired elder's face.
But it vanished quickly, and he did not flare up.
In his view, this young cultivator had managed to discern the "ailnt" of the Law Derivative Jade at a glance.
His attainnts in "dicine" were likely extraordinary.
His true self, even if not a Dao Integration cultivator, could not be much weaker.
"Heh, no matter. As long as the Law Derivative Jade has awakened, that's what counts." The other three Dao Integration experts chuckled and smoothed things over.
"Speaking of which, after helping you resolve such a major issue, there should be so reward, right?" Li Fan suddenly asked at this point.
The four were slightly taken aback.
The white-haired elder reacted the fastest: "Of course! There certainly will be!"
"Rewards are easy to discuss. It's just that the matter of the Law Derivative Jade malfunctioning still requires the little brother to help keep it confidential."
"What would the little brother like?"
Li Fan pondered for a mont before replying: "I haven't thought of anything yet. If I have a need in the future, I'll co find you. How about that?"
The white-haired elder stared intently at Li Fan for a mont, then did not refuse.
Instead, he handed a jade pendant to Li Fan as a token of identity.
With everything back on track, Li Fan returned next to the waiting space.
Following the previous queue order, he waited for the derivation of his technique.
