With Li Fan’s help, the Incarnate that was on the verge of collapse finally began to stabilize.
After exhausting the accumulated, unclaimed vast cultivation base,
the cultivation strength that appeared next was no longer as overwhelming and unbearable.
Li Qing, the Incarnate, had received this immense help in cultivation, and now his realm was almost reaching that of the original body.
However, there was not a trace of joy on his face, but rather a deep solemnity, "Too much, too fast."
"With this continuous accumulation speed, even if I can store cultivation using the Tribulation Body method, I’m afraid it won’t last long."
"Unable to break through the realm, unable to expand the reservoir of cultivation. I’m afraid I’d still burst."
Li Fan, thoughtful, spoke, "Logically, given the scale and quality of our current cultivation of the Vital Element Art of the Myriad Beings, it should be far less than the previous Elemental Spirit Sect."
"The Elemental Spirit Sect Master couldn’t possibly be making constant breakthroughs either."
Li Qing followed up on Li Fan’s words, "In my view, this technique is probably just a machine for extracting and purifying cultivators’ cultivation. Even if a cultivator dies, it can still operate automatically..."
"Truly a bit sinister."
Li Fan fell silent, pondering quietly, "To need so much cultivation, it’s clearly not for personal cultivation. It seems the Elemental Spirit Sect has big ambitions."
"Too bad the momentum had not formed before it was utterly crushed to dust."
A moment later, Li Fan instructed, "Don’t worry about this issue, I’ll handle the excess cultivation."
With the help of the Faceless True Immortal Statue, Li Fan could transfer his cultivation to the followers of the Crimson Compassionate Immortal without any damage. There was no need to worry about bursting and dying.
"Unknowingly, I have reached the completion of the Nascent Soul Realm. Sitting Immortal Formula coupled with the network of the Faceless Stone Statues, the cultivation came too quickly."
"However, such a minor realm progress has little impact on my current actual combat power."
"Even, advancing to God Transformation, the effect is minimal."
"Unless I can find something comparable to the [Catalyst of Creation in Heaven and Earth] of the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven."
In fact, Mr. Bai of the Heavenly Dao had already tested the answer for Li Fan.
That would be the [Catalyst of Creation in the Profound Yellow World].
Extracting many upcoming changes of the Xuanhuang World entirely into one’s own heavenly realm.
"Recreating Xuanhuang" within oneself.
If successful, one could nearly possess the transformation power of a segment of time in the Profound Yellow World.
The force that can drive the world’s operations, especially from something as vast as Xuanhuang, which has fused countless bodies from the Immortal Cultivation World,
is almost imaginable how potent that force would be.
Then, Unity-Path Cultivators, Li Fan could easily capture.
Ordinary Longevities, Li Fan could also remain unbeaten against them.
The prospects are infinitely promising, but the problem is...
Such large-scale extraction of the Profound Yellow World’s upcoming changes might cause the Xuanhuang World to stagnate for a significant period.
Such a severe adverse effect occurred because at the time of the 115th epoch, Mr. Bai was an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, so the Xuanhuang World let him do as he pleased.
And how could Li Fan possibly receive such treatment?
If it were just one or two extractions, it would be fine, but too much extraction might provoke the Heaven and Earth Killing Intent, even catching the attention of the Heavenly Sovereigns of the Xuanhuang World.
After all, to attain Longevity is to become a part of the Xuanhuang Prison.
What Li Fan was doing was akin to tearing down a wall.
If the noise became too loud, it was inevitable to draw attention.
"Unless there’s a bigger commotion to cover everything."
"A commotion that could obliterate the entire Xuanhuang World..."
Li Fan’s eyes flickered.
"Severing the True Immortal’s Net, escaping Even True, might also be the critical moment for my breakthrough in God Transformation."
"Even if I can’t complete it in one go, it will greatly reduce the difficulty of God Transformation later on."
Li Fan nodded slightly, once again quietly adjusting his plans in his mind.
As for other methods of God Transformation...
Too weak, they were utterly meaningless for Li Fan.
Li Fan had not considered it at all.
While he was pondering, Li Qing interrupted his thoughts.
"I seem to faintly sense the place where the Elemental Spirit Sect stores its cultivation base," Li Qing said uncertainly.
"Oh?" Li Fan’s eyes flashed, and he too sensed the direction in his sea of consciousness in an instant.
Jiushan Province, deep underground.
"It seems we might still find some inheritance of the Elemental Spirit Sect," Li Fan said, squinting his eyes.
Soon after, Li Fan arrived at the target location.
Above ground, a series of connected Cave Mansions had been constructed.
It seemed they had just been built; the interiors were completely empty, with no one living inside yet.
It is worth noting that this area was already considered to be quite remote in Jiushan Province, yet it was still filled with buildings of all sizes.
Li Fan looked into the distance; these Cave Mansions extended all the way to the center of Jiushan Province.
It was as if they had plastered dog-plaster all over the earth, lacking any aesthetic sense, aiming only to maximize the number of buildings.
"It seems the reputation of Trade State really does attract people."
"Building so many, they’re not worried about selling them at all!"
Li Fan shook his head and spoke no further.
He quietly dived underground.
Following his senses, he continued downward.
Previously, even before mass construction of Cave Mansions, the underground had already been explored.
But the hidden trove of the Elemental Spirit Sect had still not been discovered, which illustrates how deeply it was concealed.
Li Fan estimated that he had descended over thirty thousand feet underground when the pressure around him started increasing significantly. 𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑝𝘶𝘣.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Even with his current strength, moving became increasingly difficult.
Fortunately, he finally found the target.
Not far away, a glowing square was deeply buried underground.
Ten feet in each dimension, it was strikingly conspicuous in the pitch-black underground.
However, Li Fan could not observe it with his spiritual sense.
If his incarnation had not been the highest in the Elemental Spirit Technique realm and had spontaneously sensed its location,
finding this place underground in Jiushan Province would have been like finding a needle in a haystack.
Li Fan approached the glowing square and reached out to touch it.
It was like a hard wall, blocking Li Fan’s entry.
"This is..."
But Li Fan instantly realized what the glowing wall in front of him was.
"Cultivation base?"
Li Fan showed a strange expression.
After a moment of contemplation, Li Fan absorbed the tangible cultivation base from the glowing wall into his body.
The amount of cultivation base condensed in the glowing wall was truly astonishing.
Li Fan absorbed for quite some time but still could not chisel a hole to enter.
He filled up nine Tribulation Bodies stored inside him before finally creating an entrance.
Li Fan took precautions and entered.
The entrance was quickly repaired by the overflowing cultivation base surrounding the glowing square.
Inside, there was no tangible cultivation base, but rather a narrow space, five feet in dimension,
filled with various miscellaneous items.
But the most conspicuous items were three bodies glowing with golden light.
They just stood there, devoid of the breath of life.
Yet, Li Fan felt a sense of imminent danger.
