The so-called chosen of heaven are merely strong beings that have not yet grown up.
Li Fan, as of now, can easily manipulate them at will.
"However, this Black Flame is somewhat interesting."
"It’s just that Xuan Huang’s Change of Life, its essence seems to be slightly more formidable than Crimson Flame."
With a layer of Seven-color Divine Light invisible to others enveloping his hand, Li Fan easily suppressed the black flame emitted by Yan Fangzhou and observed it closely.
"This aura seems extremely similar to that of the Misthaven Ocean after being dried up by the Crimson Blaze, all pertaining to great destruction..."
Li Fan pondered carefully.
In the Cave Heaven created by Mr. Bai in the previous life, the phenomenon of "Heaven and Earth undergoing Change of Life" was indeed quite rare.
Before long, Li Fan gradually began to understand.
"It should not belong to Xuanhuang Mainland. It comes from other worlds, a part of the heaven and earth that was later fused."
"Numerous worlds, merging into one."
"Although it is still dominated by Xuanhuang World, having absorbed so many foreign entities, Xuan Huang Heaven Path inevitably underwent changes as well."
Li Fan’s fingers slowly exerted force, his palm converging the powerful Seven-color Divine Light, which made it appear somewhat blurred.
That black flame, despite its endless unwillingness,
was also extinguished by Li Fan, bit by bit.
"If it were the Essence of Heaven and Earth, perhaps I would truly be tempted."
"Unfortunately, it is merely a prelude to the Heaven and Earth’s Change of Life."
Li Fan shook his head slightly and put Yan Fangzhou out of his mind for the time being.
His thoughts then drifted to the upcoming event on the Crimson Blaze Ocean.
"Now that I am aware of the locations of many Essences of Heaven and Earth, there’s no need to be fixated on the Crimson Flame anymore."
"On one hand, the Crimson Flame is too weak; on the other hand..."
"After the death of Crimson Flame and the descending of Mo Sha, even if one could escape from the hands of Mo Sha, it would likely attract the attention of Xuanhuang World’s hidden powers."
"It’s too conspicuous."
"For now, it’s best to stay in hibernation."
After mulling it over for a moment, Li Fan made up his mind.
"The time is almost right, I can arrange for the members of Misthaven Cooperative Union to withdraw."
"After all, they are seedlings that were not easy to cultivate, the future backbone of the United Federation of All Realms, and can’t be allowed to die in vain."
The strongest member of the current Misthaven Cooperative Union is Pei Tuo, who is at the Nascent Soul Early Stage.
Although he did not retake the Immortal Alliance’s Big Exam, he was reused by the higher-ups due to a qualitative breakthrough in strength.
He has now been promoted to the position of Warden of the Misthaven Sea Martial Pavilion, commanding three martial arts battalions, holding real power in his hands.
"Hmm, need to think of a way to transfer him inland."
"However, at his level, it’s a bit difficult to accomplish a lateral move."
"Perhaps I could help him achieve some merit..."
In an instant, the faces of many spies from the Five Elders Organization appeared in Li Fan’s spirit consciousness.
Since he had decided, the alter ego Ji Shaoli immediately began making arrangements.
Li Fan then recalled Yan Fangzhou’s words.
"This Small World does have a nice scenery. But to forcefully claim the title of [United Federation of All Realms], isn’t that a bit presumptuous?"
...
"Even a brat can’t be fooled. It seems that indeed I need to make some improvements."
As he contemplated, his divine consciousness scanned over the Spirit Tree Realm, which despite possessing Xuan Huang wonders, still appeared somewhat empty, and an idea instantly came to his mind.
His figure flickered, and he arrived at a mountaintop.
He referenced the appearance from his memory and with a thought,
it didn’t take long before an ancient-looking stone pagoda rose from the ground.
Li Fan then took out a spire from his Storage Ring.
To replace and install.
Once the spire was placed atop the stone pagoda, this newly emerged pagoda instantly gained a hint of a profound and mysterious aura.
Li Fan nodded in satisfaction.
Looking around the pagoda, not long after, with successive booming sounds,
building after building began to emerge in sequence.

"Let the Tree People do a bit more decorating, and it’ll be almost ready."
Having arrived at the outer perimeter of the complex, Li Fan wrote the three large characters "Heavenly Machine Sect" on a blank boulder.
"With a one-to-one imitation, plus the treasure of the Heavenly Machine Sect, the Dice of the Heaven Earth Yin Yang, here, who would dare say my Heavenly Machine Sect is fake?"
Li Fan said with a slight smile.
Next, Li Fan replicated the process.
He imitated the scenery of the Heavenly Sword Sect according to his memory.
Looking at the newly-constructed and empty sect entrance, Li Fan couldn’t help but think of the Divine Wonder Sword, which had yet to emerge and was still buried within the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Sword Tomb.
"It’s a good item, but it was left by Mr. Bai, so it might also be one of his backup plans."
"I must be cautious."
"Moreover, Heaven’s Oddities all have spirituality. Even if I go to retrieve it, I might not be able to make it mine."
"I can turn this into a favor."’
As Li Fan thought this, he casually broke off a twig.
In his spirit consciousness, he reflected on his understanding of the Sword Dao.
He also reviewed the Red String insights from Mr. Bai and the enlightenment about the [Sword] he had experienced within the Heavenly Sword Sect in his previous life.
Gradually, the twig in Li Fan’s hand underwent a mysterious transformation.
Countless sword shadows appeared upon it.
Then suddenly, they merged into the twig.
The color of the twig darkened, and its texture grew harder.
Over time, the substance of the twig started to vanish.
Indeed, it was becoming more and more like a [Sword].
Unfortunately, after initially absorbing countless sword shadows quickly, the influx of the essence of the Sword Dao began to dwindle sharply.
It was because Li Fan’s comprehension had run dry.
He couldn’t sustain the complete transformation of this mundane object into one of Heaven’s Oddities.
A moment later, Li Fan was at his wit’s end.
Looking at the sword-like twig in his hand, which was neither here nor there, he shook his head slightly.
"I suppose this could barely be considered a Wonder of Man."
With a light exertion of force, the twig turned to dust.
However, he wasn’t angry, for unlike array techniques, he hadn’t devoted a long period of time specifically to cultivation.
This Sword Dao was merely something he had learned in passing.
To be able to create a Wonder of Man was already no small feat.
"Even if I don’t retrieve it, perhaps I could still visit the Ruins of the Heavenly Sword Sect."
"And take the chance to visit the old sites of other sects like the Medicine King Sect and the Violet Firmament Sect."
Li Fan planned to resurrect these Cultivating Immortals sects, which had vanished in the long river of history, within the Spirit Tree Realm.
Of course, he didn’t have to do it perfectly; it would be enough as long as it could deceive people.
"I have the Heavenly Machine Sect Treasury."
"In the future, when the Medicine King True Cauldron returns, there will even be the entire original team from the Medicine King Sect."
"With a mixture of the fake and the real, who will be able to distinguish clearly at that time?"
Li Fan felt quite pleased with himself as he left the Spirit Tree Realm
and headed straight for the Ruins of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Currently, the Heavenly Sword Sect ruins that were known to the public were located in Tian Guangzhou.
But in his previous life, Li Fan had learned from Shuo Feng that the Sword Tomb of the Heavenly Sword Sect and the location of the [Sword] were not in Tian Guangzhou.
They were, instead, in Tian Youzhou, a state away.
It happened to be split by the White Mist Barrier, cut into two parts.
That’s why the Sword Tomb had always remained undetected.
Li Fan traveled quietly and discreetly.
Without alarming any Cultivators from the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals along the way, he quickly arrived at the Tian Youzhou Sword Tomb ruins.
Looking at the unremarkable scenery before him, reminiscent of a disorderly mortal burial hill,
Li Fan couldn’t help but exclaim, "Who would have thought that the once glorious Heavenly Sword Sect would end up like this!"
