"Moreover, the Heavenly Law Realm was destroyed a very long time ago. Even my own memories of it have become somewhat hazy. Yet this person before me can actually reconstruct it..."

"And even directly states that it was created for me? Does he truly possess the power to see through the hearts of others?"

"The methods of a True Immortal are truly unfathomable."

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through the Heavenly Doctor's mind.

In the end, they all turned into a bitter smile.

"Senior, why bother playing..."

However, the young True Immortal before him seemed to truly be able to see through his thoughts. He merely raised his hand slightly, interrupting the Heavenly Doctor's words.

"That this Venerable plays tricks on you should be considered your honor."

"However..."

"If you do not like it, then destroy it."

The Heavenly Doctor saw the faint smile that had previously lingered on the young True Immortal's face instantly disappear.

His gaze became incomparably indifferent.

It was genuine indifference, the kind that regarded all things as mere ants.

It was even several times colder than the attitude the Heavenly Doctor himself had shown toward the countless beings of the Xuanhuang Realm.

The sense of intimacy that had never truly existed between the two, despite their earlier conversation and laughter, also vanished.

The Heavenly Doctor felt as if he had suddenly seen an unfathomably deep chasm stretching across the space between them.

On the other side of that chasm, the young True Immortal stood upon land that continuously rose beneath his feet until it towered into the clouds.

The young True Immortal stood high above, looking down upon the Heavenly Doctor.

As if an ancient primordial beast had locked onto him, the Heavenly Doctor's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Then he saw the young True Immortal wave his hand.

The homeland he had dreamed of day and night, the Heavenly Law Realm before him, instantly crumbled inch by inch into ashes.

Even though he knew in his heart that the Heavenly Law Realm before him was false.

Even though he knew that the person standing before him was a True Immortal.

When he watched the Heavenly Law Realm being destroyed once again before his very eyes, the Heavenly Doctor could not help but develop the urge to fight that lofty young True Immortal to the death.

But ultimately, it was merely an impulse born from a moment of heated emotion.

Moreover, it seemed that the young True Immortal had once again sensed the thoughts in the Heavenly Doctor's mind.

Within the void left behind by the destruction of the Heavenly Law Realm, the scene suddenly changed again.

It was none other than the present Xuanhuang Realm.

However, unlike the scene within the Heavenly Law Realm, countless figures moved about within the Xuanhuang Realm.

They appeared to be genuine living beings, cultivating and living within the world.

The young True Immortal smiled once more, and in the Heavenly Doctor's eyes, the barrier between himself and the True Immortal instantly disappeared.

As he walked across the land of the Xuanhuang Realm, he casually conversed with the Heavenly Doctor, who was being forced to follow behind him.

"Originally, you did not have the qualifications to speak with me."

"I would not have any interest in conversing with any mortal either. Even if you have already stood at the peak of the lower realm, so long as you have not taken that final step, this remains true."

The Heavenly Doctor's expression changed slightly. He opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to argue.

But in the end, he could only say helplessly, "This junior naturally understands."

The young True Immortal nodded, seemingly quite satisfied with the Heavenly Doctor's response.

Then he sighed softly and repeated with deep emotion, "Originally."

"But back then, far too many True Immortals died in the great catastrophe. How many survived throughout the entire mortal world? It has truly become far too lonely."

"Not good. Not good."

Li Fan clicked his tongue in lament.

"Therefore, for existences like you who have the possibility of becoming my kind, I will slightly change my attitude. Perhaps I might even lend you a hand and help you break through the boundary between immortals and mortals..."

"It is not impossible."

After Li Fan finished speaking, the Heavenly Doctor's heart once again trembled uncontrollably.

Before he could determine whether the young True Immortal's words were sincere or merely casual teasing, Li Fan pointed toward the Xuanhuang Realm manifested by the immortal formation and said calmly:

"Your method is quite ingenious among mortals. But in my eyes..."

"It is truly laughable."

"Thousands of years of painstaking effort. If you had spent it cultivating yourself, perhaps you would have already ascended to the immortal realm. Once you became an immortal, what could possibly remain beyond your reach?"

Watching the young True Immortal's disdainful and domineering bearing, the Heavenly Doctor wanted to speak several times.

But when he thought of the True Immortal's cultivation, he swallowed every word.

The young True Immortal, however, had no intention of letting him off so easily on this matter.

Li Fan's expression became enigmatic, his tone distant and indistinct as he slowly said:

"Bringing the dead back to life, how could something like that be so difficult?"

"Even creating something from nothing requires nothing more than a single thought!"

His white robes fluttered as Li Fan appeared ghostlike before the Heavenly Doctor.

He extended his right hand and gently pressed it against the top of the Heavenly Doctor's white-haired head.

Boom!

The vivid Xuanhuang Realm before the Heavenly Doctor's eyes suddenly froze.

After pausing for a brief moment, it rapidly shrank.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a palm-sized, ice-sealed crystal.

It was as if they had returned once more to the void of the Star Sea, with endless darkness surrounding them.

The Heavenly Doctor merely stared blankly at the "Xuanhuang Crystal" before him.

Trembling, he reached out and picked up the Xuanhuang Crystal.

It was merely a few inches in size, yet it seemed to genuinely contain an entire world within it.

As he touched this sacred crystal, the Heavenly Doctor faintly sensed something.

He did not need to rely on the Xuanhuang Realm in reality. Even with nothing more than this crystal before him, which contained an entire world, the Heavenly Law Realm could be brought back to life.

"Such methods..."

The Heavenly Doctor's mind was in complete turmoil.

But Li Fan's voice once again sounded beside his ear.

"The temperaments of True Immortals differ from one another."

"The one guarding outside the present Xuanhuang Realm..."

"Heh. She will not be as friendly as I am. In her eyes, even if she were the only one left alive in this world, it would not matter."

The Heavenly Doctor recalled that True Immortal he had encountered within the Immortal Ruins, the one who had disregarded the lives of all living beings in the lower realm Star Sea and nearly annihilated the entire Star Sea while comprehending the Dao.

He could not help but faintly agree with Li Fan's words.

"Therefore, if you truly wish to save your homeland, then go and become a True Immortal!"

"This world crystal will be considered a gift to you."

Li Fan's voice gradually faded.

After a wave of distortion, the scene before the Heavenly Doctor's eyes returned to the endless Remnant World Great Wall.

The young True Immortal had already disappeared.

Only the Xuanhuang Realm crystal in his hand remained, reminding the Heavenly Doctor that everything that had just happened had not been an illusion.

The Heavenly Doctor once again examined the miniature Xuanhuang Realm in his hand.

It seemed to have resumed its operation.

The countless living beings within the world continued to live their lives without noticing anything.

They even completely ignored the line of large characters floating across the sky.

"By the way, my patience is not particularly good."

"One thousand days is the deadline. If by then you still show no signs of breaking through..."

"Hehehe."

The young True Immortal's incomparably cold laughter echoed within the Heavenly Doctor's heart.

The Heavenly Doctor's breathing suddenly stopped.

It was as if he were once again facing that young True Immortal's incomparably cold gaze.

Clenching the Xuanhuang Realm crystal tightly, the Heavenly Doctor looked at the countdown in the sky and felt a weight he had never experienced before.

From that brief contact just now, the Heavenly Doctor had already gained a profound understanding of this young True Immortal's unpredictable temperament and unfathomable methods.

Not to mention the immortal formation that had suddenly trapped him, whose flaws he could not find at all.

Just this ability to create an entire Xuanhuang Realm from nothing and then present it in crystallized form was already beyond what the current Heavenly Doctor could imagine.

"One thousand days to become a True Immortal?"

The Heavenly Doctor furrowed his brows tightly and began considering his options.

"Perhaps my only hope is that invisible High Wall..."

The Heavenly Doctor could not help looking toward the nearby empty void.

Over the long years, through his unremitting comprehension, he had already come extremely close to truly understanding the mysteries of the High Wall.

It was only because of the inexplicable warnings he had sensed, as well as his efforts to revive the Heavenly Law Realm, that he had not devoted all his attention to comprehending the High Wall.

But now, it seemed that he had no other choice.

At a time when the Heavenly Doctor was still struggling with his decision, Li Fan's true body had already arrived before the Immortal Ancestor.

Even within the complete Immortal-grade illusion formation, the Immortal Ancestor was still able to quickly detect its flaws and continuously search for a way to break out. Li Fan could not help but frown slightly.

'As expected of the Heavenly Demon. Its resistance to illusion formations is even stronger than the Heavenly Doctor's.'

As for the Heavenly Doctor, Li Fan had naturally withdrawn the Immortal-grade formation's restrictions himself.

There was little practical meaning in simply toying with this Star Sea Supreme.

Allowing him to display his proper value was what Li Fan preferred to see.

And things were indeed developing as Li Fan had anticipated. Under the deterrence of the Immortal-grade formation and the complete Xuanhuang Realm crystal, the Heavenly Doctor had temporarily been deceived.

The Immortal-grade formation had naturally been created by the Final Dissociation Disc.

As for that Xuanhuang Realm crystal...

It was a creation formed from the feedback power that erupted within Li Fan's dantian in his previous life when the Xuanhuang Realm ascended into an Immortal Domain after the Sitting Heaven Art was activated.

Originally, during the ascension process, the vast feedback power had already been equivalent to dozens of times the total energy of the Xuanhuang Realm at its ascension threshold.

And after the Xuanhuang Realm completely ascended into an Immortal Domain, the feedback power within Li Fan's dantian had become even more astonishing.

At present, an ever shifting mass of Xuanhuang mist floated within Li Fan's dantian.

It was like images continuously flickering across an Immortal Realm copper coin.

Within the mist, light and shadows constantly changed. Every instant, it seemed as though a Xuanhuang Realm was being born anew.

Of course, Li Fan knew this was probably only an illusion.

The reason the Xuanhuang mist continuously flickered like images passing rapidly before one's eyes was because the total quantity of feedback power was simply too enormous. Arranged sequentially, something static had seemingly become dynamic.

Although the quantity was extraordinarily vast, it was still nowhere near the realm of the 'infinite.'

According to Li Fan's own estimation, the energy currently gathered within his dantian was roughly equivalent to one hundred thousand times the total energy of the Xuanhuang Realm under ordinary conditions.

It was an enormous power that even Li Fan found completely inconceivable.

At first, he had even experienced a terrifying illusion that the Xuanhuang mist might suddenly explode inside his body.

However, after his initial shock, Li Fan discovered that this was actually not much different from the infinite power of the Star Sea.

It was even somewhat inferior.

Quantity could not accumulate indefinitely and transform into a qualitative change.

Gradually, Li Fan stopped paying much attention to it.

He separated a fragment of it and transformed it into a Xuanhuang Realm crystal, giving it to the Heavenly Doctor as a small gift.

To Li Fan, this did not even qualify as a simple gesture.

Moreover, in order to maintain control over the Heavenly Doctor at all times, Li Fan had secretly concealed a trace of residual Immortal-grade formation power within this Xuanhuang fragment.

It could erupt again at any moment and trap the Heavenly Doctor.

Li Fan's thoughts returned from the Heavenly Doctor to the Immortal Ancestor within the formation. He was not nearly as casual with him.

Judging from the various signs observed throughout his previous reincarnations, the Immortal Ancestor was very likely the reincarnation of the Xuantian King, after which he had been possessed and controlled by the Heavenly Demon.

The Heavenly Demon was itself an extraordinary existence that had stolen the creations of Heaven and Earth. Its Dao of Heart Demons had fused with the Heavenly Dao of a world. Even in the ancient cultivation world, such an existence was exceedingly rare.

Not to mention the Xuantian King...

As a Half-Immortal himself, Li Fan understood the might of an 'Immortal' far more profoundly.

Thus, he became increasingly cautious.

At the end of his previous life, when the Xuanhuang Realm successfully ascended into an Immortal Domain, the strange behavior displayed by the Immortal Ancestor remained vivid in Li Fan's memory.

How could Li Fan possibly underestimate him?

This was also why, on the Heavenly Doctor's side, only a phantom projection of the Immortal-grade formation had been sent, while here with the Immortal Ancestor, Li Fan's true body personally remained in command.

Li Fan's expression was solemn. In response to the Immortal Ancestor's unique situation, the Final Dissociation Disc was also gradually fine-tuning the Immortal-grade formation.

At this moment, the world within the Immortal Ancestor's eyes had been divided into two halves.

On the left was the Xuanhuang Realm he knew extremely well.

On the right was the homeland of the Heavenly Doctor, Tian Jue, and other venerable figures of the Heavenly Law Realm.

The two worlds flickered like lamps swaying in the wind, constantly changing positions.

Gradually, the previously calm expression on the Immortal Ancestor's face began to show immense pain.

It was as though something was trying to break free from within his body.

Yet the power of this division seemed insufficient.

In the end, it withdrew once again.

Seeing this, Li Fan activated the Immortal-grade formation once more, accelerating the frequency at which the two worlds switched places.

At the same time, he shot out strands of golden threads that silently pierced into the Immortal Ancestor's body.

Li Fan had once witnessed the Heavenly Doctor's method of controlling the Immortal Ancestor.

With his current level of insight, it was not difficult to reverse the process and decipher the method of control.

He simply needed to experiment again and again.

In any case, with the Final Dissociation Disc presiding over the situation, there was no need to fear that the Dharma-Transmitting Immortal Ancestor would escape.

The constantly shifting dual worlds and the relentless assaults of the golden threads stimulated the Immortal Ancestor, causing him to unleash a heaven-shaking roar.

Yet he was truly like a bird trapped inside a cage.

No matter how desperately he struggled, he could not change his fate.

'Found it.'

After a long while, Li Fan's eyes lit up.

He exerted a slight force and pulled on the golden threads.

At the other end of the golden threads, a transparent figure was slowly dragged out.

The moment the transparent figure emerged, the Immortal Ancestor's physical body seemed to lose its foundation.

It immediately collapsed to the ground.

After leaving the Immortal Ancestor's body, the legendary Heavenly Demon also became calm.

It silently floated in midair.

It seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

Yet the Heavenly Demon itself possessed even greater resistance to the illusion formation than it had while possessing the Immortal Ancestor.

The Final Dissociation Disc rapidly operated, analyzing the Heavenly Demon's flaws.

No matter how extraordinary it was, it was ultimately still a mortal existence.

It would not take long before its defenses were finally breached.

Li Fan, however, first examined the Immortal Ancestor's body.

'It possesses its own independent consciousness.'

'It was simply suppressed by the Heavenly Demon for far too long, leaving it extremely weak. For the time being, there are no signs that it will awaken.'

'Then let me take advantage of its weakness and investigate it.'

'Let me see the true identity of the Dharma-Transmitting Immortal Ancestor, the existence who has suppressed the Xuanhuang Realm for several thousand years.'

With a trace of anticipation, Li Fan manipulated the illusion formation.

The scenery within the formation began to evolve on its own according to the Immortal Ancestor's memories.

On a vast plain, cooking smoke slowly rose into the sky.

"Goudan, come home for dinner!"
