One by one, Sun Luyao was created and then destroyed.
During this process, Li Fan gradually developed his own unique perspective on [Creation].
"Senior..."
It wasn’t until the divine sense of the copied and preserved Sun Luyao was about to be completely exhausted that a timid yet slightly greedy voice resounded again in the Sun Family’s underground secret chamber.
It almost perfectly matched Sun Luyao’s own speech and demeanor.
Even Li Fan, the creator, could hardly distinguish any difference.
But it was just an appearance.
Li Fan was very clear.
The newly born Sun Luyao acted solely according to the responses Li Fan had set, without any process of proactive thinking.
It was far too different from real life.
Moreover, this created thought form was not recognized by the Immortal Artifact Boundless Mirror.
That is to say, in the perception of the Boundless Mirror, they were entirely different beings.
"To imitate, to create various forms of life, is merely to create living beings with different temperaments."
"But to truly create life from nothing still requires additional methods." After confirming this, Li Fan somewhat regretfully shook his head.
However, this did not mean that Li Fan had gained nothing.
Within the spirit consciousness of Li Fan’s true self, inside the Final Separation Disk.
A consciousness, or rather a virtual personality created by the imitation array method, was slowly taking shape.
Li Fan set it up very simply.
Its primary goal was to increase the analytical efficiency of the array method. Tireless and unceasing.
Before this, although Li Fan possessed the marvelous item, the Final Separation Disk, to maximize its efficiency not only required the enhancement of the Stone of Transformation but also required a significant portion of Li Fan’s own energy to personally oversee it.
With a mechanized pseudo-personality, it would certainly free up some of Li Fan’s energy.
"Actually, this is almost akin to the legendary process of spirit imbuing in immortal instruments. Only, I used a clever method to achieve a slightly inferior effect."
"Looking further ahead, it’s not just about the Separation Disk. Even any exotic item or magic treasure could be manipulated in this way."
"Almost without any cost, the efficiency and perhaps not the power but certainly the ease of use of the items would increase substantially. Moreover, it can be customized and fine-tuned according to personal needs."
"In a sense, this is another type of [Array Refining] technique."
While Li Fan pondered, the pseudo-personality from the Final Separation Disk had fully materialized.
Its appearance was that of Gao Yuan, a cultivator whom Li Fan found the most handy to use during his hundreds of reincarnations.
Li Fan, who once served as the acting Island Master of Ten Thousand Immortals Island, had a good impression of Gao Yuan for his ability to perceive and serve loyally.
Li Fan found him pleasing to the eye, and thus set the pseudo-personality in his image.
As for the real Gao Yuan now...
Li Fan didn’t care. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
"Master, is there anything I can do for you?" Gao Yuan asked very respectfully.
"Organize the existing data on fairy-class great arrays, derive their previous interconnections, and the basic units common to all array methods."
"On this basis, carry out a unified improvement and derivation of the Xuanhuang Realm array method. All results must be recorded and preserved."
"Also, try to find potential methods for self-promotion..."
Li Fan issued a series of commands.
The Final Separation Disk, completely stilled for a moment, then started to operate rapidly again.
Compared to before, it now functioned more smoothly.
Li Fan could see the feedback from the pseudo-personality, concretely in terms of data.
For example, the ratios of the computational power of the Final Separation Disk consumed by various tasks and the estimated remaining time required to complete them.
When the tasks yielded results, the pseudo-personality would also automatically organize the outcomes and wait for Li Fan to review them.
"Much more useful than before."
The pressure in the mind eased, but the efficiency of the disk’s derivation did not decrease but instead increased.
"This is the methodological domination from the Immortal World."
"Previously, I was like someone holding a fire weapon but only knew how to swing it."
"And this, all are gains from exploring the Immortal World’s array methods in the field and gaining insights..."
Thinking of this, Li Fan paused briefly and looked at Yan Fajue lying listlessly on the long table.
"Speaking of which, this little thing’s situation is somewhat similar to mine before."
"However, with strict guards here, I still can’t find an way to contact her alone."
Li Fan imperceptibly glanced at Zhao Shihuan and Hua Yeyue, who were guarding the Unity-Path, and pondered his plan in his mind.
Opportunities came when you least expect them; just a few days later, Li Fan received a perfect opportunity.
"Requesting Yan Fajue to teach?"
"Isn’t this a benefit we get only once after guarding for a hundred years? How can it be arranged now?"
Li Fan looked at the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, Zhao Shihuan, with a puzzled expression and asked.
Zhao Shihuan smiled, "Your Sun Family has merited the Immortal Alliance, and after a joint decision by Chief Xu and all members of the Elders’ Meeting of the Law Enforcement Hall, your guarding term will be reduced from three hundred years to two hundred."
"But the corresponding benefits and honors will not be reduced. Rest assured."
Li Fan then remembered the assurance given by Sun Luyuan when he visited earlier.
"It seems that Xu YuanXuan didn’t cheat him this time."
Zhao Shihuan continued, "After all, this has come up suddenly. If Brother Sun feels you’re not ready yet, you can also keep this opportunity to use later."
