Chapter 1660: Chapter 1386: The Stele Reveals Immortal Characters
“Crude,” is said in parison to the seamless, elusive white circle [Luo Fanchen].
In truth, the Three-Eyed Homunculus’s technique of refining humans into objects has pletely surpassed Li Fan’s understanding.
Even with the object in front of him, Li Fan was nearly at a loss as to how to begin his research.
Of all the theories he had encountered in his life, only the [Alchemy Emperor’s Classic] personally conveyed by Sun Piaomiao shared a bit of similarity with it.
But not by much.
“Transforming humans into objects, retaining the life attributes of humans.”
“And also possessing the attributes of [objects].”
“…”
Targeting this acquired Three-Eyed Homunculus, Li Fan launched a series of experiments.
The first determination was that the homunculus’s self-awareness had been erased, capable only of operating according to predefined rules.
Subsequently, Li Fan tested the homunculus’s durability against strikes.
After the Three-Eyed Homunculus failed, it was casually discarded by Qin Zhuang, indicating that outside the High Wall, it was by no means a high-value object.
Yet, with this little thing, Li Fan almost used his trump technique: Nine Heavens Dustfall Finger, to inflict noticeable harm.
“If it were merely Chenyuan Realm cultivators, even if they reportedly possess True Immortal Bloodline, they would not have achieved such a degree. The added attribute of objects perfectly fusing with the human aspect made its defense significantly enhanced…”
Existences from outside the High Wall seem to have considerable resistance to the Illusion Array.
Li Fan used the Three-Eyed Homunculus to test most of the Immortal Arrays he knew. He found that the homunculus could, in an unconscious state, evade the deadly attacks of the Immortal Arrays with ease, navigating through them effortlessly.
“Besides human and object, there seems to be a third attribute layered on.”
Li Fan observed while promptly adjusting the Immortal Arrays based on the avoidance actions of the Three-Eyed Homunculus.
Then he experimented again with a new array, optimized through the Final Separation Disk.
The result was unchanged; the homunculus easily eluded it once again.
Li Fan did not bee anxious, continuing with a new round of iteration.
When the array improved and reached the fiftieth iteration, the Three-Eyed Homunculus’s flawless evasive maneuvers finally showed flaws, occasionally captured by the operating Immortal Array.
A bright gleam flashed in Li Fan’s eyes.
“My Immortal Array is like a woven Great Net.”
Although in the Abyss Star Ocean, it seems invincible. Once the array is activated, it can enclose all living beings within. But from the perspective of creations beyond the High Wall represented by the Three-Eyed Homunculus, all the gaps in the array net are flaws!”
“However, as I patch these flaws one by one, the net bees more densely woven, and the holes smaller…”
“Relying on instinct to resist the array formation will no longer be so easy!”
“In short, although my Array Path standard has not qualitatively improved, it is being increasingly hard to breach!”
Li Fan stared intently at the Chenyuan race homunculus within the Immortal Array, thoughts surging.
Applying all the iterative upgraded array details to all Great Arrays.
It was as if what was originally a sketchy scribble had bee increasingly detailed with time, and the tracing became more and more refined.
“Refining array details to such a degree is absolutely not something one person can plete in a moment. Only with the relentless efforts and continuous research over generations of the Members of the Immortal Ark can such an acplishment exist!”
In a trance, Li Fan seemed to see countless figures tirelessly working day and night, dedicated to the study of the Array Path.
“My swift pletion is merely directly utilizing what is already available. In fact, if not for the assistance of the Dissociation Disc, I could not have iterated the arrays so rapidly!”
“The Three-Eyed Homunculus was brought from beyond the wall by Qin Zhuang five hundred years ago.”
“While the white circle and Kitty Treasure are recent creations.”
“Five hundred years have passed; has the High Wall’s technology progressed so significantly?”
Li Fan, with a thought, pulled out Luo Fanchen and tossed it towards the evolving array ahead.
He wanted to pare its response with the Three-Eyed Homunculus when facing a changing array.
However, as Li Fan expected, [Luo Fanchen] was immune to all the array techniques applied to it.
His observation plan failed before it began.
“I couldn’t even see any avoidance actions similar to the Three-Eyed Homunculus within the arrays.”
“Instead, all the Immortal Arrays I currently possess were entirely ineffective, as if pletely non-existent on the same mechanistic level…”
Li Fan’s eyes flickered with thought: “It seems there has been a qualitative leap in technology beyond the High Wall over the past five hundred years.”
Previously inspired by varying time dilation phenomena in the Abyss Star Ocean, Li Fan speculated that the time flow beyond the High Wall might also be far greater than within the wall.
Since the Great Calamity descended upon the Immortal World, over ten thousand years have passed in the Abyss Star Ocean; possibly a million years have elapsed beyond the High Wall.
“The gap between the Three-Eyed Homunculus who came to the Xuanhuang World earlier and other creations seems to confirm my hypothesis in some way.”
“Of course, it might also be possible that Kitty Treasure and Luo Fanchen are extremely rare existences even beyond the High Wall, merely due to a pervasive difference in value…”
But actually, since Kitty Treasure and the white circle were fished out from the Fishing Pond, Li Fan instinctively believed that such existence serving as “bait” would not be particularly rare.
“With the Three-Eyed Homunculus helping me rectify and reduce the flaws in the Immortal Arrays, perhaps in this lifetime, I will have the opportunity to plete the arrays.”
“Extract some useful intelligence out of Qin Zhuang’s mind.”
The experiment has moved onto the right track, with almost no more unexpected outes. The next step is merely a straightforward mechanical repetition.
