NOVPUBAs for the Dark Prison, such a large-scale escape had occurred that it existed in name only.
After the remaining prisoners were transferred, the entrance to the Dark Prison wasn’t even disguised again.
It was thus abandoned.
Time slowly passed, and no one came here again. It was as if the world had forgotten it.
After an unknown period, the figure of Li Fan gradually appeared.
"Suppressed in the deepest depths of the Dark Prison, even I couldn’t see the face clearly."
"Transferring them required the personal attendance of three Dharma Transmitters..."
"Interesting."
Li Fan didn’t immediately flee with the escaping cultivators; instead, he hid right at the entrance. His goal was to explore, the individual confined in the deepest depths of the Dark Prison that he hadn’t been able to approach over the last three years.
It wasn’t that the Great Array in the deepest part was too sophisticated for Li Fan to solve, but rather that the Prison Soldiers tasked with guarding it were in fact three Integration Cultivators working together.
It seemed they were only there to suppress that one prisoner; even when the Dark Prison was breached above and countless felons escaped, they remained indifferent and did not come out to stop them.
When the rescue teams from the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals arrived, they started the transfer process, and Li Fan was able to catch a glimpse of that prisoner.
It vaguely made Li Fan feel a sense of familiarity.
However, it was obscured by a secret technique, so he couldn’t be completely certain.
"Before the Formation of the Ten Thousand Spirits is completed, it’s best not to stir up another storm."
"Let’s wait for the next lifetime to investigate."
"What I need to do now is just bide my time and watch the upheaval of heaven and earth!"
Li Fan looked toward the distant horizon, as if he saw the Formation of the Ten Thousand Spirits lighting up in thousands of Mortal Worlds.
The Formation of Ten Thousand Spirits shown to the felons was not the complete name of the Array Technique.
This array was the result of three years of deductions with the Final Separation Disk.
It represented the highest standard of Array Technique that the Disk could deduce in its current state.
Taking the original Formation of Ten Thousand Spirits of Heaven and Earth that had covered the Spirit Tree Realm, the Empire, and the Beast Type World as a prototype, after further deductions, he created a world-shocking Great Array.
The full name of the Array is [All Spirits of Heaven and Earth, All Living Beings Refining God].
The primary function of this Array, and the reason why Li Fan went to great lengths to free a legion of prisoners from the Dark Prison and have them work for him, is encapsulated in the four words [All Living Beings Refine God].
It shares a brilliant secret with the All Spirit Divine Refining Array deployed by Song Hesong of Ningyuan City during the battle against Brother Zhang in the Fallen Immortal Illusory Realm.
The killing power of the Array comes from the will of all spirits of heaven and earth, and countless living beings.
However, after Li Fan’s revision...
It is hundreds of billions of times more powerful.
Because the materials needed consumed were also hundreds of billions of times more.
Back then, with the power of a city of mortals, Song Hesong almost pushed Brother Zhang into a desperate situation, forcing him to reveal the Purple Elixir’s Immortal Secret Technique.
And Li Fan, using thousands of Small Worlds and trillions of living beings from the Xuanhuang World, just to stall the Faceless True Immortal for a moment.
After the Spirit Tree Realm was obliterated by the Immortal Alliance, Li Fan had been contemplating and replanning the End of The World Plan in the Dark Prison for these three years.
After all, it was his first confrontation with the Power of the True Immortal, even if it was leveraging one force against another, or observing from a mountain as immortals battled, it still meant endless risk.
After all, these two were truly immortals who had transcended the mortal realm.
And not stubborn Foundation Establishment cultivators.
If they were so easily outwitted, how could they be worthy of the name of True Immortal?
Failure meant an irreversible doom.
Especially after experiencing the siege of the Immortal Alliance and revealing an unexpected trump card that obliterated the Spirit Tree Realm, Li Fan became more cautious than ever about the End of The World Plan.
He calculated every possibility into the plan.
Thus, he realized a problem he had previously taken for granted and overlooked.
In Li Fan’s original plan, first he would harness the power of the Deserted Dao Immortals, and then, with this transcendent force, elicit a response from the Faceless True Immortal.
Indeed, living beings subconsciously react to threats to themselves.
The Faceless True Immortal and the Deserted Dao Immortals, in simulated predictions, should first notice each other and engage in battle.
And in doing so, they’d overlook the instigator, Li Fan.
But that was only under ideal circumstances.
What if, after ascending to immortality, their thought patterns no longer resembled those of mortals?
Or perhaps, they sensed the existence of [Even True] on Li Fan.
What if they didn’t first lock onto a counterpart of equal strength, but targeted Li Fan first?
If he made no preparations and was targeted by a True Immortal, he feared he wouldn’t even have time to flee to the Ghost Realm or forcibly enact Even True.
The more he thought, the more Li Fan was unable to eat or sleep peacefully.
So he finally decided that at the very least, he had to find a way to buy himself that fleeting moment of time.
And the Formation of Ten Thousand Spirits of Heaven and Earth, All Living Beings Refining God was the ultimate answer given by the Dissociation Disc.
The gap between a Cultivator and a mortal, a True Immortal and a Cultivator, is as vast as the Abyss of Heaven.
But once a certain quantity is reached, it can produce a terrifying qualitative change.
"Plunged into the endless sea of the thoughts of trillions of living beings, even a True Immortal will undoubtedly waver for an instant."
"The moment of distraction they wrestle for, is my only possible chance of escape."
The power of the True Immortal can indeed destroy the Xuanhuang in an instant.
However, if things really go as Li Fan anticipated and they lock onto him, to catch this surreptitious ant, the True Immortal wouldn’t directly annihilate the Xuanhuang World.
This would give Li Fan an opportunity to exploit.
"Hehe, thousands of mortal worlds, countless thoughts of living beings."
"What an immense force it is. But no matter how I deduce, it can only obstruct them for an instant."
"This absolute power gap..."
"It’s really enviable."
Li Fan stood with his hands clasped behind his back, silent.
Bound by the power of the Faceless True Immortal, that group of ferociously evil prisoners would surely complete the construction of the Great Array obediently.
This was not something Li Fan needed to worry about.
And once the Great Array was constructed, it was beyond their control.
"The day the All Spirit Divine Refining Array is complete will be the day of the Xuanhuang Annihilation."
"Soon, within a year, I’d wager."
During this time, all Li Fan needed to do was wait patiently.
At this last juncture of the world, Li Fan still had some finishing touches to take care of.
He first arrived at Sky-spirit State, the original site of the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven.
Since the Five Elements Cave Heaven, which had been nurtured for who knows how many years, was devoured by Li Fan, a new Five Elements Cave Heaven began to take shape within the formless void known as [The Root of Heaven and Earth].
However, this process was especially lengthy.
Only now was there a faint hint of a nascent Cave Heaven emerging.
Li Fan wandered through the void, operating the Heavenly Path’s Deceptive Shift to contemplate the Principles of Heaven and Earth.
Feeling the rhythm akin to the beating of a heart, Li Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he attentively awaited Even True’s prompt.
And from this innate Exotic Treasure, Li Fan faintly sensed an air of dissatisfaction.
