NOVPUBLi Fan had no choice but to temporarily stop driving the "Immeasurable Mirror."
He continued to throw out a cluster of "Essence of Source Power," saving the "Infinite Mirror Spirit" from near death.
The essence of the wish power stored in him was generated day and night by the prayers of about a hundred "You Clan People" in the "Sun Family Secret Chamber" of the underground blood pool during this time.
Luring out the "Obliteration Storm Calamity" lurking within the "Immeasurable Mirror" exhausted some of it.
Before that, to heal the mirror’s wounds and his own avatar, he used some more.
What remained was not much.
Li Fan calculated the consumption rate of the "Essence of Source Power": "Just enough for our needs. No need for another trip back."
"It’s just..."
Li Fan glanced unintentionally at the center of this "Small World," filled with "Death Silence."
It seemed that the appearance of the "Essence of Source Power" had attracted the attention of a hidden "Golden Skull." A peculiar feeling, like being targeted by "Monsters," surged in his heart.
"Humph, even if you had some grand origin in life, now you are nothing more than a skull. How dare you act impertinent before me..." Li Fan stood with his hands behind his back, and in the flicker of his mind, an "Array Technique" instantly formed.
Locking the space where the "Golden Skull" was, sealing it.
"I’ll trouble you in the next life."
Li Fan had no intention of probing the "Golden Skull" further.
Exploring the "Protective Realm Formation" in this place and then returning to the "Xuanhuang World" to find the traces of the hidden "Realm Defensive Array" was the priority.
Under the spreading of the "Essence of Source Power," Sun Luyao slowly regained consciousness from his stupor.
"Rest up, then continue."
However, Li Fan’s indifferent words struck him like lightning.
Yet, in his heart, he had not the slightest inclination to defy.
Because Sun Luyao knew that the existence of the "Immeasurable Mirror" depended on the will of Li Fan.
Even erasing him, the "Mirror Spirit," and replacing it with the "Spirit Consciousness" of another "Cultivator" was not an impossibility.
"This ordeal, though painful for you, has a certain refining quality. As the saying goes: ’a thousand refinings make iron, ten thousand refinings make steel.’ You are but a mere "Mortal," fortuitously becoming the "Infinite Mirror Spirit." You’ve seen the current performance of the "Immeasurable Mirror." Just analyzing some random thing nearly kills it; how can it be worthy of being called an "Immortal Instrument?"
"Although part of this is due to the "Immeasurable Mirror" being damaged and not in its entirety, it is largely due to your weak "Mirror Spirit," Li Fan said gravely.
His words filled Sun Luyao with shame.
"This ’Essence of Source Power’ is coveted even by ’Immortal Cultivators.’ Using it on you can certainly be considered a waste of heavenly resources. Yet, I still did it..." Li Fan spoke with a somber tone.
"Between life and death lies great terror, and between them also lies great opportunity. Reflect well on this!"
Saying this, Li Fan manipulated the "Immeasurable Mirror" again to analyze the residual formations hidden under the world’s "Ruins."
Sun Luyao felt himself weakening rapidly, but with the encouragement from Li Fan earlier, he vigorously roused his spirit, trying to maintain clarity of mind.
"I must not let my senior down!"
Since his contact with Li Fan, scenes after scenes surfaced in Sun Luyao’s "Spirit Consciousness."
Li Fan’s assistance along the way was undoubted, while Sun Luyao himself had barely contributed. Now that he finally had the opportunity to repay, Sun Luyao was determined not to disappoint Li Fan.
Besides, Sun Luyao knew what Li Fan said was indeed true.
Through multiple life and death ordeals, his core consciousness had been growing stronger. These few days of growth surpassed the decades he spent hiding in the "Sun Family Secret Chamber."
As Sun Luyao’s spirit surged, the once-shaky "Rainbow Light" became stable again. 𝓃ℴ𝓋𝓹𝓊𝓫.𝒸𝓸𝓂
Li Fan saw this and couldn’t help but nod slightly.
...
"Sacred Dynasty Daqi."
The "Emperor" Li Ping, seated upon the "Saint Emperor Seat," had completed copying and embedding ten clusters of "Xuanhuang World Heaven’s" breath.
However, due to prolonged non-stop work, "Kitty Treasure’s" mood had collapsed, and it had entirely gone on strike.
Even with more "Essence of Source Power" for encouragement, "Kitty Treasure" just pretended not to see it and slept soundly.
The "Emperor" had no choice but to pause for the time being.
He looked in the direction of the "Central Immortal Alliance Four States."
"Is the ’Immortal Alliance’s’ ’Huang Realm’ departure ’Rainbow Light’ ready?"
Due to the previous harvest of the "Star Sea’s" original true intent, the consciousness of the "Xuanhuang World Heaven" became restless, instinctively wanting to attach itself to it again, hitching a ride.
However, it was dissuaded by Li Ping.
The "Emperor" had a premonition that the "Immortal Alliance’s" journey would not be as smooth as his previous one.
Apart from the "Emperor’s" foreknowledge of the journey’s dangers, which the "Immortal Alliance" could not replicate, the more important reason was that the members of the "Immortal Alliance" organized to explore the "Star Sea" were all "Unity-Path Cultivators" but lacked anyone truly powerful enough to command respect and maintain order.
In the "Xuanhuang World," within the "Immortal Alliance," rank dictated speech. But in the "Star Sea," especially under extreme circumstances, it was uncertain who would have the authority.
"Dao Origin State Lan Yu."
"Liuguang Prefecture Jing Re."
...
The list of "Unity-Path Cultivators" setting out was not a secret.
The "Emperor" glanced at each name and sighed inwardly.
"The demise of dozens of ’Unity-Path Cultivators,’ though regrettable, is undoubtedly good for both ’Xuanhuang World Heaven’ and the ’Holy Dynasty.’"
"Only a pity..."
Despite this, the "Emperor" would not be swayed by compassion to stop them.
He just quietly awaited their departure.
Moreover, perhaps among them, there would be someone with extraordinary destiny who could survive the many dangers of the "Star Sea" and ultimately achieve "Enlightenment?"
