"Compared to that, the Medicine King Valley of my previous life was simply a novice in the presence of a master,"
"Just this Wood Attribute Cave Heaven alone could support the rise of a great power,"
"Not to mention there are other Cave Heavens of the four attributes,"
Having come to the Xuanhuang World early and preempting the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals’ discovery, Li Fan felt very pleased with himself.
After a brief tour, he sequentially visited the Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water Attribute Cave Heavens.
Li Fan had once spent a considerable amount of time in the Water Attribute Cave Heaven,
But only now did Li Fan realize that what he had seen before was almost the scene after it had been emptied out.
Unlike now, beneath the vibrant seas, countless fish species were thriving and reproducing.
Innumerable Water Attribute spiritual medicines and spiritual ores filled the entire ocean,
Causing Li Fan, who had seen and known much, to repeatedly exclaim in astonishment.
The Metal Attribute Cave Heaven was an expansive and endless underground world, strewn with various rare ore veins and metallic life forms.
The Fire Attribute Cave Heaven was similar to the Fire World on the flip side of Da Li, though not nearly as brutal.
And the Earth Attribute world was a continuous range of mountainous scenery.
...
After taking a quick look around, contented, Li Fan was suddenly struck by a thought.
And that was the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven was simply too vast.
If one wanted to consume it with a Golden Core Cultivation Level and achieve the Nascent Soul Realm,
It would probably be nearly impossible without three to five years.
That was assuming no one else discovered it and there were no interruptions,
and that the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven itself would not resist.
In fact, once it reached the scale of the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven, even if it was not yet at the level of a "Small World",
It was almost indistinguishable from a "world".
Li Fan clearly remembered when they tried to cast the [Tianxuan Soul Locking Array] that covered all the Cave Heavens again,
They met with fierce resistance from the consciousness of the Cave Heavens.
Countless strange and inexhaustible monsters sprang up, launching attacks.
Even with Lin Ling guarding him, he was not sure he could handle it.
"Having too big of an appetite is also a problem," Li Fan couldn’t help but frown slightly.
Though difficult, Li Fan certainly wouldn’t give up on the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven.
His own cultivation was secondary,
The most important thing was not to let the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals get their hands on it,
To avoid adding unnecessary variables to the battlefield dynamics of this world.
"While I still haven’t achieved Golden Core Perfection, I need to think of a solution. If that doesn’t work, I’m just going to have to grind it out,"
Li Fan continued to stay in the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven for some time,
Until the time for his appointment with the Five Elders Organization was nearly upon him, and then Li Fan finally left.
"If I had two Unity-Path cultivators to assist, I might try to move the entrance to the Five Elements Cave Heaven. But the commotion would be too great, and there might be a risk of the Immortal Alliance discovering it," Li Fan thought to himself as he concealed the entrance again before leaving.
Still relying on Lin Ling, they navigated through the power of ley lines,
And soon the trio quietly returned to Jiushan Province.
When leaving the ley lines, Li Fan felt a rare sense of "reluctance" coming from Tianyang.
"Tianyang constructed his puppet body using the [Earth Fire Reversal Array]; it seems the power of ley lines still has some special use for him,"
"I’ll have Lin Ling take him around more often. With the substantial ley line power of the Xuanhuang World, taking a bit of advantage, I suppose the Leyline Ancient Tree won’t mind,"
Thinking this, Li Fan thus instructed Lin Ling,
Lin Ling, who had a quite favorable impression of Tianyang, immediately agreed.
Arriving at another location, Li Fan once again crushed the jade talisman, releasing a wave of energy.
Soon after, Yu Dayi hurried over.
This time, he didn’t come with a big entourage; only one other person accompanied him.
Upon seeing the other party, alarm bells immediately went off in Li Fan’s heart.
Although they had never met before, Li Fan felt an all too familiar aura emanating from the person in front of him!
The answer was on the verge of revelation; the person was a member of Unity of Thousands, Sister Zhao!
But this time, Sister Zhao did not appear as a daughter but as a strikingly handsome young man of about fifteen or sixteen years of age.
"Is this friend here from the United Federation of All Realms?" He looked at Li Fan, asking with a smile.
A pair of eyes scanned Li Fan, seemingly intent on uncovering all his secrets.
Li Fan’s heart grew cold, but he remained composed despite his surprise.
Sister Zhao had many bodies; this one possessed only a God Transforming Cultivation Level.
Even the Celestial Dharma Bearer could not know everything.
Thus, Li Fan was not worried about his secrets being seen through at a glance.
He collected his thoughts and, after a moment’s consideration, Li Fan’s eyes narrowed, and he chose to "play the general."
"Hehe, to think that the Heavenly Sovereign would honor me with a personal visit. What a privilege!" he said with a strange smile, gazing at Sister Zhao.
The smile on the young man’s face suddenly froze.
At that moment, he began to look at Li Fan seriously for the first time.
Yu Dayi, standing beside him, seemed unaware of the true identity of the cultivator beside him. Hearing Li Fan’s words, he was momentarily stunned and slightly confused.
But as a cultivator born and raised in the Five Elders Organization, it only took him a moment to catch on.
He turned his head sharply and saw the somewhat playful smile on the young man’s face, his expression freezing.
His body also began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Ah, I’ve been seen through."
"How interesting. It seems this United Federation of All Realms really does have some skills."
"I wonder if you’d welcome me to join?" the young man said with a light chuckle.
His tone was as alluring as that of a seductive woman, full of temptation. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
This should have sent shivers down one’s spine, but to Li Fan, it was not at all uncomfortable.
"Hehe, actually, I would also like to join the Heavenly Sovereign’s Great Taoist Sect," Li Fan replied swiftly and unapologetically.
Sister Zhao did not get angry but chuckled coyly, "If we joined forces, it’s not impossible..."
Yu Dayi stood by, sweating profusely, his legs going weak.
He cursed his luck for not being deaf, having heard such a taboo conversation from the Heavenly Sovereign.
At the same time, he mentally placed the United Federation of All Realms and Li Fan in the category of those not to be trifled with.
Li Fan let out an awkward chuckle, avoiding the topic.
Turning the conversation to more pressing matters, he asked, "How about the items we need?"
Sister Zhao tossed over an Ethereal Stone Matron.
Li Fan skillfully caught it and inspected the piece, which matched the inventory list he had provided down to the last detail.
He tucked it away.
"You’re not afraid I might have tampered with it?" Sister Zhao asked suddenly, her tone ghostly.
"Sister, you conduct your affairs with integrity; you are not the kind to do such things," Li Fan replied.
Sister Zhao’s expression underwent a complete transformation.
"In honor of Sister’s personal appearance, let me offer you a piece of top-secret information for free," said Li Fan.
"The Zhen Ye leaf can be used to create a Divine Ark. It allows passage through the White Mist, avoiding the side effects of the Element Devouring White Fog," whispered Li Fan.
Without waiting for a response, he disappeared on the spot under a cover of green light.
Yu Dayi didn’t dare to move an inch.
"The heart of a maiden is ever so difficult to guess."
Only the light laughter of Sister Zhao followed, echoing shortly afterward.
