The interface of the materialized in front of Li Fan's vision, yet he lacked the focus to decide right now.
His attention was fixed on the transformations occurring within his form.
Similar to his earlier brush with the Immortal Ruins' immortal might, despite the , an intense craving persisted in him.
This instance, bathed in the luminous immortal essence of the Faceless True Immortal, Li Fan had staggered back via , yet a single proved insufficient to fully purge the lingering taint of the True Immortal's force.
"The aftermath from the Immortal Ruins' immortal essence sparks a ravenous urge to consume all nearby. But with the Faceless True Immortal..."
Li Fan tentatively explored his facial contours with careful fingers.
It felt like an extra layer of flesh had been overlaid, concealing every feature.
Touch was the sole sense left.
Though his divine sense aided in sensing surroundings without hindering routine activities or everyday existence.
This anomaly still sent a subtle shiver through Li Fan's core.
"Not just my face vanishing, but also..."
Li Fan directed his divine sense to "examine" his physique.
To his surprise, it flickered with a subtle see-through quality now and then, resembling a spectral form.
"My very [existence] is fading away bit by bit."
He had only just reverted to Anchor Year 1, and was undergoing recharge. Should death claim him at this juncture, it would be final, without any opportunity for revival.
Confronted by this dire predicament, Li Fan remained utterly composed, free from any frenzy.
His mind raced with precise clarity instead.
The prior instances of employing multiple to gradually cleanse the Immortal Ruins' immortal essence impact taught Li Fan that the current imprint from the Faceless True Immortal could likewise be countered via repeated .
This wasn't because 's potency was waning against a True Immortal. It stemmed from Li Fan's own frailty.
However, several pressing issues now confronted Li Fan.
"To begin with, demands time to recharge. Until then, without intervention, I fear I won't endure."
"Next, exposed to the Faceless True Immortal's glowing immortal essence, I've ended up in this state. Unlike my past role as a True Immortal's envoy, the current erosion runs even deeper. Meaning..."
"Right from the start of this existence, I've been ensnared in the True Immortal's web. Drawing from the closing moments of my prior life, even sparking the myriad shifts in Xuanhuang might fail to lure the Faceless True Immortal's focus. Yet activating will surely summon Him."
...
Li Fan stepped from the mountaintop wooden hut toward the vast expanse of cloud seas.
Gazing upon the crimson sun ascending at the skyline, the rays brought Li Fan no comfort whatsoever.
A strand of involuntary coldness welled up within him instead.
Li Fan settled silently at the cliff's brink, deep in contemplation.
Simultaneously, it appeared he awaited some occurrence.
Not until the sun climbed to its zenith, marking a complete half-day's passage, did tranquility persist over Great Xuan Jieli Mountain.
No disruptions arose.
Only then did Li Fan exhale deeply, a sense of dodging calamity flooding his being.
"The Faceless True Immortal hasn't arrived."
He rose and brushed off the dirt from his clothes.
Sensing his form growing ever more insubstantial, Li Fan eyed the hovering light panel “in his sight,” where the notifications blinked without pause.
He refrained from selecting anything, opting to set it aside momentarily.
Back inside the peak's wooden shelter, he reclined on the bedding and reflected.
“What truly defines ?”
“When the true turns false, the false turns true.”
“For someone insignificant like me, emerging abruptly within the True Immortal Net, the Faceless True Immortal opted for indifference. This suggests either He lacks awareness of precise events in the Xuanhuang Realm's minor domain. Or...”
“Prior to this, the realm held no reality. Upon my return, time commenced its flow, granting substance to all. In my view, the prior life's karmic ties caused my sudden entry into the True Immortal Net. Yet to the Faceless True Immortal, my presence there has always been constant. Hence, no irregularity exists, explaining His absence.”
A torrent of ideas swirled through Li Fan's thoughts.
“Should it involve time reversal, the Faceless True Immortal at this temporal juncture ought to detect alterations to His own state sharply. For a True Immortal, any event escaping His dominion would demand investigation, following the trail straight to its origin.”
“Yet nothing of the sort transpired.”
Li Fan inwardly recited anew the seven phrases that heralded every invocation of .
“When the true becomes false, the false becomes true.”
“Transforming illusion to reality, reshaping existence. Possessing such a miraculous tool yet mired in this dire plight—it simply doesn't align.” Li Fan shook his head, murmuring in wry amusement.
Ultimately, he had somewhat misjudged a True Immortal's might.
He hadn't foreseen that post- activation, that resplendent immortal essence could still pursue its root.
Furthermore, it appeared the greater the entity's power, the keener its reaction to 's influence.
The Faceless True Immortal's abrupt surge, overriding the Immortal Ruins' immortal essence and hastening over, plainly showed His familiarity with .
“The emergence of links directly to my personal prowess. Until reaching the Longevity Immortal Realm, it's wise to avoid antagonizing Them.”
Thus reasoned Li Fan.
Having formed this temporary assessment and overview of the True Immortals alongside , Li Fan at last turned to tackling the immediate peril.
“I'm at the third anchor now. , serving as a Foundation Establishment treasure, with my cultivation at late Foundation Establishment. Opting to carry over my prior life's cultivation would swiftly elevate me from Foundation Establishment to the Soul Transformation stage.”
“But ensnared in the True Immortal Net as I am, my unnoticeable strength is why the Faceless True Immortal overlooks me. Transforming a mere Foundation Establishment insect into a Soul Transformation one in an instant could invite His scrutiny...”
“The path to avert this life's doom is evident. Retreat to the Dark Realm, and upon inheriting the prior cultivation, trigger anew. Evade additional taint from the Faceless True Immortal, while leveraging to cleanse His imprint upon me. Cycle through this method.”
“Yet prior to that...”
Li Fan extended his hand to grasp a teacup resting in the cabin.
Initially smooth, but as transparency crept into his body, the cup escaped his grip and crashed to the floor.
“Such is the Faceless True Immortal's might. Stripping away one's very being...”
Li Fan's priority was securing a means to anchor his existence before 's recharge completed.
Failing that, everything else proved futile.
Judging by his present bodily state, the window of time remaining for Li Fan was perilously short.
