"Since I can’t let the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals detect my plans, I could only sneak out a little bit of time each time. Originally, I would have needed a long time to accumulate enough, but now..."
Yan Fajue looked at Li Fan, "Your method has been a great help!"
Li Fan, however, said, "Forty years is still too long. Moreover, in order not to reveal any flaws, you must also be diverting a small part of your power to deal with the supervision of the Law Enforcement Hall while you sleep. Is there a way to shorten the time required even further?"
"You really want to help me?" Yan Fajue seemed a little shocked.
But seeing Li Fan’s very serious expression, Yan Fajue thought for a moment before flying to his side and whispering in his ear, "As I said before, practicing the Techniques is akin to cultivation for me. The reason I need to sleep for fifty years to grow is because I need to organize and absorb the gains of cultivation. If there’s a way to skip this step, I’m afraid I would only need about five years... no, ten years should do!"
"I vaguely remember, there is a treasure in the world known as ’Immortal Sound Jade Dew.’ If I could consume some more of it..."
Yan Fajue’s mouth corners were faintly drooling.
"Immortal Sound Jade Dew?" Li Fan frowned slightly upon hearing this.
"Are you sure this is something from the Xuanhuang World?"
Li Fan, having been through hundreds of reincarnations and possessing the origin of the Tianxuan Mirror, holding the Tablet of Creation, could say that there were hardly any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the Xuanhuang World that he was unaware of.
But this Immortal Sound Jade Dew, he truly heard of for the first time.
"Uh… I don’t know," Yan Fajue, upon hearing Li Fan say this, was suddenly a bit dumbfounded.
"But I’m certain that Immortal Sound Jade Dew really exists in the world," the little lass said with conviction.
After a brief silence, Li Fan replied, "I will find a way."
Upon hearing this, Yan Fajue’s eyes widened in surprise, and she couldn’t help saying, "You really are a good person!"
Li Fan said, "Aren’t you afraid that I’m a person from the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals? That everything I’ve said is a lie..."
Yan Fajue chuckled, "This lady here isn’t foolish. You’re different from those who pass on the Law. Moreover, I can tell at a glance who has ill intentions and who is sincere!"
Li Fan smiled, offering no rebuttal.
"Then you should rest well for now. I’ll contact you if there’s any news."
The light and shadow twisted, and the imitation persona returned to its original state, taking over Yan Fajue’s work relentlessly.
After Yan Fajue observed for a while and was sure that there would be no slip-ups, she contentedly assumed the spread-eagled position again and dozed off in midair.
"Yan Fajue’s true form, even if it’s not from the Immortal World, must also be like the Xuanhuang World, boasting a special Cultivating Immortality World with a Realm Defensive Array."
"With her current abilities, she’s no longer of much help to me. But if she could take a step further and be able to infer Immortal Law…"
Li Fan had already tasted the sweetness brought by the crushing superiority of Array Path over generations; if he could achieve the same in the realm of Techniques, his future endeavors would be much easier.
Yan Fajue’s sense was correct – to an extent.
Indeed, Li Fan harbored no ill will toward her at the moment. He merely planned to help her break free from the control of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals. In the process, he would use the promise of a successful escape to make Yan Fajue acknowledge him as her master.
By the end of this life, he should be able to choose to keep Yan Fajue.
Thus, the Xuanhuang World would unprecedentedly witness two of the same Heaven’s Oddities.
And with decades more experience in the Techniques, the Yan Fajue retained by Li Fan should be the slightly stronger of the two.
According to what Li Fan had previously discovered, the pattern of the weak perishing and the strong surviving would mean that the Yan Fajue of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals would inexplicably disappear. The one in Li Fan’s hands would, after fusion, achieve a breakthrough and transcend.
A perfect plan.
The prerequisite was to successfully make Yan Fajue acknowledge her master.
Before that, it wouldn’t hurt to indulge her a little.
Even if the goal was not achieved this life, with the experience of living together for hundreds of years and the secrets extracted, making Yan Fajue acknowledge him as master in the future wouldn’t be difficult.
"Of course, the Dissociation Disc and Yan Fajue, they are just tools. To truly reach Enlightenment and find the transcendence method, I have to rely on myself."
Li Fan’s mind was clear.
Before finding a way to break free from the shackles of the Law Transmission system, it wouldn’t hurt to continue on the current path. After all, with the advantage of being reborn through Reincarnation, cultivating step by step is much easier than creating something from nothing.
"Xuanhuang will change and then become the Essence of Heaven and Earth."
"With my current strength, even if I absorbed hundreds of Essences of the Heavenly Path, I might not see a qualitative leap in strength. After all, during the moments of Xuanhuang’s destruction, each Change of Life strives to survive, and it might not be any less than the Essences of the Heavenly Path from the peaceful Xuanhuang World."
"This life, using The Emperor to test the true strength of Law Transmission and the Celestial Doctor. The next life is to take this step and strive to close the gap between us. Even achieve a balance of power!"
"Relying on ordinary Essences of Heaven and Earth would certainly not suffice."
Thanks to the close connection between The Emperor and the Xuanhuang Heaven Path in this life, Li Fan has learned more secrets of the Heavenly Path. The Essence of Heaven and Earth is born from the Heavenly Duty and is the manifestation of the Xuanhuang Law.
Crimson Flame, Mo Sha and the like represent single-attribute Essences of Heaven and Earth.
Under very special circumstances, the Xuanhuang World would spontaneously evolve Essences of Heaven and Earth with [Compound Attributes]. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Li Fan, having once coincidentally given birth to the [Heavenly Dao Bai] through the Sacred Embryo, was among this category.
