NOVPUBHaving returned to Haixuan Island, Ji Shaoli naturally received numerous banquet invitations and requests for his presence.
He simply turned a deaf ear to them.
"With so many eyes and ears, it’s not suitable for this avatar to go out right now. Better to honestly undergo closed-door cultivation for a while."
"However, it is somewhat unexpected that the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals would send back the cultivators who did not get selected as Chosen Immortals," Ji Shaoli’s brow furrowed slightly, a trace of puzzlement flashing through his mind.
If the plan for the Thirty-three Immortal Selections truly is of great importance,
then at the very least, before the intended effects of the Chosen Immortal plan could be realized, their identities should be kept secret.
It would only make sense to not release those who were not selected but instead use it to conceal the true identities of the thirty-three Chosen Immortals.
But the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals didn’t seem to have any intention of doing so...
"It doesn’t matter who they are."
"As long as there are thirty-three people who meet the criteria."
Ji Shaoli’s eyes involuntarily narrowed.
"Interesting. Let’s see what kind of medicine the Alliance is selling in their gourd."
"It’s time to put some more pressure on the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals."
The avatar of Ji Shaoli remained seated, immobile, on Haixuan Island.
In the Spirit Tree Realm, having received orders from Li Fan, Lin Ling once again went to Jiushan Province to make contact with the Five Elders Organization.
The Five Elders Organization questioned why there had been no response for such a long time.
Following the instructions given in advance by Li Fan, Lin Ling revealed the incident involving the infusion of the Brilliant Sphere with two kinds of strange phenomena, Heart Ape Mind Horse.
Although the representative of the Five Elders Organization maintained a calm façade,
Lin Ling still keenly sensed the other’s intense emotional turmoil.
After delivering another batch of supplies and expressing gratitude,
The Five Elders Organization inquired about the "Thirty-three Immortal Selections" plan.
Lin Ling gave vague and evasive answers.
Just as the other party was feeling somewhat dejected, Lin Ling suddenly revealed a bombshell.
"In addition to the Chosen Immortals, to confront the coveting gaze of the Five Elders Organization, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals has also developed many world-suppressing ultimate weapons including the [Heavens’ Rupture Cannon]. If you do not act now, you may regret it too late,"
Lin Ling faithfully repeated Li Fan’s words verbatim.
Accompanying this was a segment of footage.
A black light column that destroyed heaven and earth, piercing through layers of White Mist, annihilated everything that stood in its way.
As the black light column gradually faded, the void it had created remained unfilled by the mist for a long time.
Its residual power kept all objects from approaching.
Even though it was a blurry image, the power of the Heavens’ Rupture Cannon was evident.
No matter how astute the representative of the Five Elders Organization was, he couldn’t conceal his dramatically shaken expression.
Taking a deep breath, he gave a respectful bow, indicating there would be significant gratitude in the future.
Then he hurriedly left.
Watching the fading figure of the other party, Lin Ling couldn’t help but curl his lip.
He returned via the leyline to report back.
Within the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven.
"It is unknown in this world whether the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals has actually managed to construct this world-suppressing ultimate weapon. But whether it’s true or false doesn’t matter."
"The Five Elders Organization was already restless, merely temporarily stalled by the Immortal Alliance’s unexpected move."
"Having dealt with the Brilliant Sphere incident, and with the pressure from the Thirty-three Immortal Selections and the Heavens’ Rupture Cannon, I believe they will choose to strike first."
"Let’s just wait."
After receiving Lin Ling’s message, Li Fan pondered for a moment before shifting his attention.
Within the Dantian, the Seven-Colored Sphere emitted a sacred glow, dazzling to the eye.
"As expected of a treasure formed by refining the Heavenly Light of an entire realm."
"Gaining full control over it will not be an overnight matter."
Spiritual Power enveloped the Seven-Colored Sphere in layers, with many images flashing rapidly before Li Fan’s eyes.
There were cultivators soaring through white clouds, and mortals dwelling upon the earth.
These were scenes of the now extinct Chong Yan Immortal Cultivation World.
"What a pity that the time in Heaven and Earth changes so abruptly. The details are indistinct."
Li Fan thought with a hint of regret in his heart.
So far, apart from the Xuanhuang World, he had learned the names of three other Immortal Cultivation Worlds: Xiaoyao, Taiyi, and Chong Yan.
But that was as far as his knowledge went.
Beyond their names, he knew very little of the specific scenes within them.
"If only I could break free from the constraints of the Immortal Ruins, I might be able to explore them thoroughly."
"However, Chong Yan has been destroyed. As for whether Xiaoyao and Taiyi still exist, that’s also hard to say."
As his physical and Spiritual Power surged, Li Fan slowly refined the Seven-Colored Sphere.
He then redirected most of his energy back to the devouring of the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven.
However, it didn’t take long for Li Fan to detect some anomalies.
The proliferation speed of the Root of Heaven and Earth had almost doubled compared to before!
If this trend continued, it wouldn’t take a year to completely devour this Five Elements Great Cave Heaven!
"Hmm?"
Li Fan hadn’t left home during this period.
The only variable was the newly acquired Seven-Colored Sphere.
While Li Fan felt surprised, he also began to ponder and study the specific reasons for the change.
It didn’t take long for him to find a possible cause.
As Spiritual Power refined the Seven-Colored Sphere, a mysterious force was also nourishing and transforming the Spiritual Power. 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
With the boost from this force, the Root of Heaven and Earth seemed to have received some powerful tonic and proliferated wildly.
Moreover, as Li Fan’s progress in refining the Seven-Colored Sphere deepened, the proliferation speed continued to rise.
It was so fast that even Li Fan, the initiator, got a bit nervous.
Like a dark cloud being driven by a violent storm, Li Fan was eroding the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven at an unimaginably terrifying speed.
"If it weren’t for the abundance of monsters in the Xuanhuang World, I could even claim the Xuanhuang World as my own in just over a decade using this method."
A premonition surfaced in Li Fan’s heart.
"What exactly is this mysterious power..."
Li Fan focused on feeling it thoroughly.
After a full seven days, he finally had an epiphany.
"Power of the Original World?"
"The Seven-Color Sky Light of the Chong Yan realm, is an evolution of Heavenly Dao, containing the Power of the Original World."
"After being refined into a Magic Treasure, it has consequently been preserved."
"Ordinary combat and escape techniques wouldn’t reveal such a unique attribute. But when it comes into contact with the Root of Heaven and Earth, this New Method specifically designed for Devouring Heaven and Earth, it reacts!"
"Like a catalyst, it greatly enhances the power of the Root of Heaven and Earth and accelerates the speed of devouring Cave Heaven."
"Strictly speaking, the loss of the Power of the Original World will certainly affect the potency of the Seven-Colored Sphere."
"It’s just a matter of time, really, not worth the initial gain at all."
"But for me..."
"It doesn’t matter in the slightest!"
Li Fan understood clearly in his heart.
Then he accelerated the process of refining and extracting the Primordial Power even more.
"Since the Nascent Soul stage benefits from the Power of the Original World during promotion,"
"what about during God Transformation, Unity-Path, or even Longevity?"
"Will it still provide assistance?"
Watching the increasingly vigorous multitude of tendrils, Li Fan couldn’t help but ponder.
Using the power of other worlds to devour a world.
This task, which should have been impossible, had become possible due to the appearance of the treasure, the Fishing Pond.
