Li Fan fed the Heavenly Beast an Immortal Domain Go piece, which it devoured to strengthen itself. The beast's growth and unique eyes hinted at its connection to ancient, powerful techniques. Li Fan tasked Qiushui with caring for the beast, while other Xuanhuang Realm creations, like the Flowing Light Rainbow Cloud, began to perish after absorbing fragments of the Immortal Realm's laws.

The Xuanhuang Realm's method of transforming itself was extremely unique.

The change known as [Techniques Cannot Be Cultivated Together], which had caused ancient cultivators to slaughter one another and countless sects to perish, was actually the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao's retaliation against the new cultivators who devoured heaven and earth.

It had indeed been highly effective. In one stroke, it wiped out more than ninety percent of the cultivators at the time, plunging the Xuanhuang Realm into a wasteland of cultivation that lasted for thousands of years. It was only after the return of the Dharma-Transmitting Immortal Ancestor, with forces above the Heavenly Dao participating, that cultivators began to flourish once again.

It could be said that in its struggle against cultivators, the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao had actually emerged victorious. It was only later that the Dharma-Transmitting Immortal Ancestor intervened and reversed the outcome.

Since the change of [Techniques Cannot Be Cultivated Together], the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao had never produced another targeted transformation.

For a long time, the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao's state of being at the mercy of others had caused the vast majority of cultivators in the world to lose their reverence toward it.

At this moment, as Li Fan watched the turbulent scenes unfolding throughout the Xuanhuang Realm, he sighed inwardly.

'From today onward, the positions of offense and defense have been reversed. I fear that in the confrontations to come, it will be the cultivators who find themselves at a disadvantage.'

'If they even have a future.'

Perhaps only Li Fan in the entire Xuanhuang Realm knew why the Xuanhuang Realm had produced no new transformations for ten thousand years after the change of [Techniques Cannot Be Cultivated Together].

It was precisely because Mr. Bai had sealed away a portion of the Xuanhuang Evil Thought back then.

From that point onward, the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao was no longer complete. As a result, it had lost a certain "characteristic."

In this life, Li Fan had long since returned the Xuanhuang Evil Thought to heaven and earth. Combined with the nourishment provided by various methods, the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao's long-standing deficiency had gradually been restored.

Now, it was finally beginning to reveal its edge.

Li Fan's eyes flickered as deductions raced through his sea of consciousness.

'Without the intervention of some overwhelming external force, the Xuanhuang Realm will evolve all kinds of extraordinary changes to eliminate cultivators.'

'Perhaps the [strange phenomena] that originally existed only within certain regions will eventually spread throughout the entire Xuanhuang Realm. There may even be more unique lifeforms similar to the Flowing Light Rainbow Clouds...'

The adaptability of the complete Xuanhuang Realm did not particularly surprise Li Fan.

After all, if this was truly an experimental ground seemingly created by the Immortal Realm, then it would be strange if it behaved just like an ordinary cultivation world.

What interested Li Fan more was how this power of transformation actually worked.

Time passed.

The grand formation left behind by the Immortal Realm in the past had long since lost its effectiveness. Even the Nine Star Red Bead at the core of the formation had disappeared without a trace.

'It seems that the Xuanhuang Realm is able to produce these transformations entirely because of its own innate characteristics.'

Li Fan raised his head and narrowed his eyes, observing with great interest.

Because his favorability with the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao was sufficiently high, it did not conceal anything from him at all, allowing Li Fan to observe to his heart's content.

The fusion of the Transformation Between Truth and Falsehood with the power of the Immortal Formation allowed Li Fan to create all kinds of artificial simulated personalities.

They could range from consciousness clones of himself, completely loyal and carrying out his commands, to replacing various half-Immortal artifacts, and even the original consciousnesses of small worlds, becoming extensions of Li Fan's control.

The possibilities were virtually endless.

However, Li Fan had already conducted nearly a hundred million experiments, yet there was one bottleneck that he had never been able to overcome.

And within the foreseeable future, there seemed to be no possibility of making any progress.

That was, all the artificial personalities he created could only mechanically execute the settings Li Fan had established at the beginning.

It was not that this situation was necessarily bad. At the very least, it guaranteed that these creations would never run out of control.

But Li Fan actually did not care much about whether they would run out of control.

What he wanted even more was for these artificial personalities to be able to bring him some unexpected surprises.

Unfortunately, judging from the current situation, none of them had been able to accomplish this.

'Like the Xuanhuang Realm.'

'While maintaining its own inherent characteristics, it can naturally produce corresponding changes according to the circumstances of reality.'

'That is what I want.'

Li Fan connected his thoughts with the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, attempting to peer into the source of this power of transformation.

He was certain that this mysterious power must have originated from the methods of the Immortal Realm back then.

If he could comprehend it...

'Even if there are no living beings left in the Star Sea, I would still have an inexhaustible supply of subordinates who could go forth one after another, fearless of death, to explore beyond the High Wall!'

At the thought of this, Li Fan's heart burned with excitement.

However, after conducting a careful investigation, Li Fan discovered that even the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao itself did not understand what this ability to transform actually represented.

It merely regarded it as something it had possessed since birth and had no knowledge of its origin.

'If I want to study it thoroughly, I am probably going to have to completely dissect the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao itself.'

'There probably will not be enough time in this life. I will wait until the next life.'

Li Fan shook his head slightly, somewhat regretfully.

Completely unaware that it had narrowly escaped disaster, the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao was currently becoming increasingly vibrant as the Great Celestial Venerable Wuming traveled throughout the realm, continuously eliminating threats and repairing its wounds.

It was like a rough stone that, after being continuously polished by countless forces, was finally beginning to reveal the jade hidden within.

'The Great Celestial Venerable is already in position. We can proceed to the next step.'

'After being roasted over a fierce fire for so long, it is time to add the supplementary ingredients for refining the pill...'

Li Fan flew to the center of the Xuanhuang Realm and stood in midair with his hands behind his back.

With a slight movement of his mind, the spiritual power of heaven and earth spontaneously surged toward him and came under his control.

The Xuanhuang Realm's Heavenly Dao trusted Li Fan far too much now. With merely a slight greeting from him, the Xuanhuang Realm gave him its full support.

The spiritual energy veins throughout the entire Xuanhuang Realm surged toward the place where Li Fan stood.

A gigantic illusory brush appeared before Li Fan.

Like a giant whale sucking in water, it absorbed all the spiritual power of the world.

The illusory brush gradually became solid.

Then, under the urging of Li Fan's thoughts, he swept it across the void in a single stroke.

A second great sun suddenly rose within the Xuanhuang Realm.

The moment this sun appeared, the Xuanhuang Realm seemed to have passed from the depths of winter into spring and summer.

A different kind of vitality surged from that mysterious character and quietly flowed toward every corner of the Xuanhuang Realm.

It was precisely the [Dawn] character that Li Fan had learned from the Xuan Immortal Ark.

Like the sun rising in the east, its energy reverberated throughout the world, and all things revived.

Under Li Fan's precise control and regulation, the power of the character was just right.

It was like feeding the Xuanhuang Realm a powerful tonic.

Li Fan could clearly see all kinds of strange phenomena appearing throughout the world as vitality began to sprout.

Yet Li Fan did not stop.

He once again drew over the vitality from the depression in the Star Sea fissure.

Although both sources were vitality, their natures were different.

The vitality of the character came from the outside and entered within, passively stimulating life. If not controlled properly, it was like playing with fire and burning oneself. Vitality could turn into a graveyard.

The vitality within the depression of the Star Sea earth fissure, however, came from within and spread outward, nourishing everything silently.

Even if too much was absorbed and temporarily exceeded what one's body could endure, it would merely be stored away and would not harm the body itself.

Its disadvantage was that it changed things far too slowly, requiring gradual progress.

The two forms of vitality, one Yin and one Yang, complemented each other.

Under Li Fan's secret urging and combination of the two, they gradually became truly integrated into the Xuanhuang heaven and earth.

The sky of the Xuanhuang Realm seemed to become even clearer.

As the character in the sky gradually dispersed, the enormous amount of spiritual power drawn over by Li Fan also scattered once again, returning to every corner of the world.

After this operation by Li Fan, the deficit accumulated over ten thousand years from the continuous consumption of the Xuanhuang Realm by cultivators had been completely replenished.

The scorching vitality between heaven and earth was almost visible to the naked eye.

All things competed to flourish, each striving to display its splendor.

Yet Li Fan's process of refining the pill was still continuing.

'Act according to the circumstances and strike while the iron is hot.'

As vitality flourished throughout the Xuanhuang Realm, all kinds of transformations naturally began to emerge within it.

The birth of living beings within the realm was completely insignificant.

What truly mattered was the gradual evolution of the numerous Cave Heavens.

Now that vitality had arrived, nurturing new Cave Heavens was as natural as flowers blooming and bearing fruit. It was simply the inevitable result of the process.

However, the birth of every Cave Heaven would naturally consume a portion of the Xuanhuang Realm's own power.

Li Fan intended to use the Xuanhuang Realm itself to refine a Great Pill. How could he possibly allow such a thing to happen?

Just as he had previously severed the birth of the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven.

Wherever Li Fan's gaze passed, numerous Cave Heavens were reduced to dust, transforming back into nourishment and merging into the Xuanhuang heaven and earth.

Explosive sounds continued to resound.

Yet the Xuanhuang Realm's Heavenly Dao showed not the slightest reproach toward Li Fan for destroying the Cave Heavens.

Instead, faint traces of joy were transmitted from it.

It was clear that It was also dissatisfied with the countless Cave Heavens that had evolved from its own body. However, because of its own limitations, it could only let them be.

Now that Li Fan had stepped in to eliminate these "parasites" for it, it naturally could not have been more pleased.

Ignoring the increasingly ingratiating thoughts transmitted by the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, Li Fan calmly observed the world.

Things were nowhere near as wonderful as the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao seemed to believe.

Within the Xuanhuang Heaven and Earth, an enormous amount of vitality had suddenly erupted. The beginning of Cave Heaven evolution was one way of releasing and dispersing this immense vitality. But now, Li Fan had ruthlessly cut off this outlet.

The result was that the Xuanhuang Realm could only forcibly swallow all the vitality itself.

It grew more and more bloated.

More and more.

Until finally...

Boom!

It suddenly exploded!

It was like refining pills. If one only kept adding medicinal materials without controlling the heat properly, it would eventually cause the furnace to explode.

Of course, Li Fan would not simply sit by and watch such a thing happen.

Before the Xuanhuang Realm was burst apart by the overwhelming vitality, he would decisively activate his Ascension Plan.

Although there seemed to be more than enough vitality right now, as long as the "momentum" of the Xuanhuang Realm rose even slightly, this vitality would be consumed in massive quantities.

It would not be enough at all.

"High pressure. Suitable for adding supplementary materials."

Li Fan observed for a while, ensuring that the Xuanhuang Realm had entered a temporary state of balance.

He then flashed to Luoyan Prefecture.

This place had once been one of the Heavenly Law Realm. It had now been silently implanted into the Xuanhuang Realm by the Heavenly Doctor.

The rejection between the two worlds had already nearly disappeared. The fusion of the two worlds was about to be completely finished.

Li Fan lightly stamped his foot on the ground.

From the hidden Xuanhuang Multitudinous Living Beings Grand Formation beneath the earth, a figure flew out.

It was one of the Dao Integration cultivators who had previously been selected as a medicinal catalyst.

"Let the ruined world be the medicine and inject it into Xuanhuang."

As Li Fan softly chanted, his figure seemed to rise infinitely higher.

He had already deployed the Ascension Formation.

However, instead of using the Divine Ability, Nine Heavens Descending Mortal Finger, he took out a fragment of a world obtained from the Remnant World Great Wall while viewing everything from his elevated perspective.

In Li Fan's current field of vision, the Xuanhuang Realm was only about the size of an ordinary person.

The fragment of the remnant world, meanwhile, was shaped like a pill.

Holding it gently between his fingers, he slowly pressed it into the body of the Xuanhuang Realm.

Having ascended to the higher momentum, the aura emanating from Li Fan caused the living beings within the Xuanhuang Realm to tremble in fear even in their dreams.

Even the Xuanhuang Realm itself no longer dared to transmit even the slightest ingratiating thought.

It could only obediently cooperate.

It was as if some ancient memory from the distant past had been awakened within it.

Carefully and cautiously, it successfully allowed the fragment of the remnant world to be implanted.

Li Fan's momentum immediately plummeted.

"Go!"

He lightly pointed at the Dao Integration cultivator waiting obediently nearby.

The Dao Integration cultivator exploded uncontrollably with a thunderous boom.

There was no rain of flesh and blood. Instead, a phantom resembling the Spirit of Heaven and Earth instantly expanded millions of times.

It formed a thin membrane that completely wrapped around the fragment of the remnant world implanted by Li Fan.

"Turn!"

Li Fan shouted again.

Streams of hazy light rapidly circulated within the membrane-like phantom.

Using the power of the Immortal Formation, Li Fan was helping the phantom devour and digest the ruined world fragment wrapped within it.

A fragment of a world that had survived ten thousand years of calamities was now transformed into streams of flowing light, surging into the membrane-like phantom.

But this was not its final destination.

It was merely a transit point.

High in the sky, the phenomenon accompanying the fall of the Dao Integration cultivator began to manifest.

Compared to normal circumstances, however, this phenomenon appeared exceptionally slowly.

Its duration was also extraordinarily long.

As the phenomenon continued, the process of the Dao Integration cultivator returning the Dao to Heaven proceeded simultaneously.

When the phenomenon completely disappeared, it would also be the moment when the remnant world fragment was completely digested by the Xuanhuang Realm.

This was Li Fan's method of using a Dao Integration cultivator as a medicinal catalyst and buffer, while using the remnant world fragment as medicine to nourish the Xuanhuang Realm.

The concept and method had been learned from the Heavenly Doctor.

But there was no doubt that Li Fan had already surpassed his teacher.

Although the Dao Integration cultivator served as one layer of buffering, compared to allowing the Xuanhuang Realm to slowly devour the remnant world on its own, this method was still far too violent.

If the Xuanhuang Realm had still been in its previous weakened state, it certainly would not have been able to withstand it.

Only after this life, with Li Fan's numerous methods and preparations accumulating together and strengthening the constitution of the Xuanhuang Realm to a sufficient degree, could such a medicinal formula be used.

And that was only the prerequisite.

Setting aside the compatibility between the remnant world and the Xuanhuang Realm, obtaining suitable remnant worlds from the Remnant World Great Wall was itself no easy task.

Rashly extracting a remnant world would cause disturbances throughout the Remnant World Great Wall and even the entire Star Sea. He had to act at an appropriate time.

The reason Li Fan's actions in this life had proceeded so smoothly was also because he had the experience from his previous life to rely upon.

More importantly, treating a remnant world as a pill and manipulating something so enormous with such ease was something that even the Star Sea Supreme might not necessarily be able to accomplish effortlessly.

Only with the assistance of True Immortal flesh and the Immortal Formation could Li Fan make it appear so effortless.

After completing one case, Li Fan immediately continued without stopping.

He continuously implanted the prepared remnant worlds into various locations of the Xuanhuang Realm.

Even though the power within these remnant worlds had yet to be absorbed by the Xuanhuang Realm, Li Fan could already faintly sense the changes that were about to erupt throughout Heaven and Earth.

"The Xuanhuang Realm is an extremely special existence within the Star Sea. But that does not mean the Xuanhuang Realm possesses every single Law."

"Compared to the Laws permeating the Star Sea, there are still some things missing from it."

"But these deficiencies can be supplemented by devouring the remnant worlds I provide."

"The principle is similar to the way it devours Immortal Artifacts."

Li Fan's eyes burned brightly as his movements continued.

He did not stop until he sensed that the Xuanhuang Realm had reached its limit.

"Hmm. As it continues to grow stronger, it will be possible to continue after some time."

"Repeat this process until it reaches its true limit."

"At that time, it will be time
