After pondering for a while, Li Fan couldn’t help but shake his head, waking up from his daydream.
Even with the ability to decipher the Fishing Pond, Li Fan would not take action lightly. The horrifying image of Elder Stone Plate being mysteriously whisked away was still fresh in his mind. How could he possibly make the same mistake for a temporary advantage?
With the lessons of 119 lifetimes, he would not provoke Them again until he was confident of facing a True Immortal head-on.
After all, the treasures within the Fishing Pond could be obtained by patiently and continuously fishing. At most, it would take a bit longer, which was the least of his concerns, as he had plenty of time.
"If the ’Formation of Ten Thousand Spirits of Heaven and Earth’ could be deduced, perhaps it can initially test the effects of Yan Fajue."
His incarnation took a brief look at the condition of the original body and pondered to himself.
Within the space of Yan Fajue, it seemed as though time had lost its meaning.
What he saw every day was the constant spinning of Yan Fa light orbs. Yan Fa Loli had somewhat gotten used to Li Fan’s threats and had slowly become more fearless. If it were not for the presence of the other two Unity-Path Experts, Li Fan would have certainly let her taste his methods.
But for now, it was not suitable to be too conspicuous, so he had to endure and forbear a little.
"Friend Sun, according to the time, in the next few days there should be a Dharma Transmitter coming for inspection. We still need to take care of it," said Hua Yeyue suddenly, who had been silent all along, reminding Li Fan with a voice transmission while most of his attention was focused on the deducing of the Immeasurable Array.
Indeed, there were instructions about regular inspections by Dharma Transmitters when he was first employed, so Li Fan was not surprised and nodded his understanding.
"After the Dharma Transmitter completes the inspection, they will likely restart the use of the Jade Decree of Law Invocation. By then, our place should become busier," he said.
"Those who can come here and ask Yan Fajue for help in deducing Techniques are either from distinguished families or have great fortune. Their future achievements are bound to be extraordinary. On top of doing our job well, we might as well leave some good karma. Who knows, maybe a hundred years from now when we leave, we can rely on these relationships," suggested Hua Yeyue kindly.
Elder Zhang Xu also chimed in, "Exactly. Hundreds of years may pass unchanged in the space of Yan Fajue, but the outside world could have been turned upside down. Having an extra path is always good."
Although they were already Unity Path Experts, those who came here to guard for five hundred years were generally not the most core members of their families. It was only reasonable to plan for the future.
Half a month later, the Dharma Transmitter arrived for the inspection as expected.
Dharma Transmitter Lang, Li Fan had met this person once in the Dharma Transmitter Council.
Ignoring the three guardians, Dharma Transmitter Lang came to Yan Fa Loli with a smile on his face.
Yan Fa Loli rolled her eyes, then covered her ears with both hands, acting as if she couldn’t hear anything he said.
Dharma Transmitter Lang seemed accustomed to this and was not annoyed.
A row of silver needles appeared beside him.
Dharma Transmitter Lang took one and aimed it at Yan Fajue’s head.
Yan Fa Loli’s body trembled slightly, but it was as if some force was imprisoning her. Unable to resist, she could only let the silver needles fall on different points of her body one after another.
This scene, which seemed quite cruel, rendered Zhang Xu and Hua Yeyue at a loss for words.
However, Li Fan perceived the subtleties in Dharma Transmitter Lang’s acupuncture technique.
It was not any form of coercion or control but a top-level recuperation method to help cultivate vitality and sort out meridians. Sure enough, after Dharma Transmitter Lang waited for half a day and then withdrew the needles, the complexion of Yan Fa Loli had improved significantly.
Her little cheeks were flushed, just like she had finished an intense workout.
"It’s not just that she’s healthier. The elements of humanity within her have become reactivated," observed Li Fan.
As Li Fan watched Yan Fajue closely, he noticed the nuances.
During the time he had spent with Yan Fajue, Li Fan had vaguely realized that although she occasionally showed human temper, most of the time, she was like a pure machine, constantly deducing Techniques.
The desire to "slack off and rest" was probably a natural result of being overworked.
It wasn’t intrinsic to her.
Moreover, as time passed, these purely physical signs became increasingly apparent.
"No wonder Dharma Transmitters need to inspect regularly, it’s to maintain Yan Fajue’s humanity."
"Perhaps, compared to pure treasures, Yan Fajue led by a simple Jade Loli could perform more effectively."
However, for the Dharma Transmitter who had "helped" her, Yan Fajue didn’t even spare a kind glance.
Puffing up angrily, glaring fiercely at the other until they reluctantly left, Yan Fajue then suddenly slammed the desk and vented the dissatisfaction in her heart.
Following that, she lay down on the long table and slept soundly.
The day after the inspection was a period for Yan Fajue’s restoration, where she could rest freely.
The little loli slept soundly, her snores thundering.
Li Fan, however, noticed that the giant light globe above her head seemed to be constantly changing at high speed, evolving something.
"Interesting," Li Fan mused.
Just as Hua Yeyue had anticipated, as soon as Yan Fajue returned to her endless work, the restrictions of the Jade Decree of Law Invocation were lifted.
In addition to her usual work of evolution, the young loli had to take on the extra task of evolving customized Techniques.
No wonder she had such a bad attitude towards these Seekers of the Law.
Except for a very few cultivators with handsome appearances.
And the responsibilities of Li Fan as one of the three guardians on the Unity Path were also slightly increased.
After all, it was necessary to be constantly on guard for any malicious attacks from other powers among these Seekers of the Law.
Fortunately, the probability of this was not particularly high.
With the Unity Path Experts jointly monitoring, there should be no problems in the short term.
...
In the Outer Space around the Da Qi Miniature World of the Sacred Dynasty Daqi,
what originally served to separate mortals, the Immortal Forbiddance Formation, had been transformed by Li Ping into a part of the Formation of Ten Thousand Spirits of Heaven and Earth.
Li Ping had even specially tamed and bred a group of Splitting Realm Whales, repeatedly opening up the Void around the Da Qi Miniature World to act as a natural protective buffer.
At this moment, in the dark Void that should have been empty, there lurked a colossal entity a hundred times larger than the Da Qi Miniature World.
It was the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven! 𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Daoist of the Hundred Blossoms did not disappoint, and at the cost of almost sinking back into slumber, he managed to quietly transport it back without alarming the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.
After all, as a practitioner of Ancient Law of Immortality, in terms of strength, he was still superior to the average Unity Path expert.
Of course, the success of the mission also owed much to the supportive assistance from Li Ping with his Array Technique concealment.
Saint Emperor Li Ping, observing the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven from a distance, felt the Dao Yi Bug inside rapidly multiplying, his face expressionless.
