Li Fan stood in the secret room, silent for a long time.
Pondering countermeasures.
The now calm Li Fan was not in a state of panic.
After all, he was still far from a dead end.
In the Xuanhuang World, without the presence of Even True, mortals only had one chance at life.
The source of this cđ¨ntent is freeweÉnovÄl.coÉą.
He had merely returned to the same starting point as all other beings.
...
Moreover, he had the advantage of the foresight accumulated through the many cycles of reincarnation in his past lives.
âAll of this stems from an initial thought that I had on a whim.â
âWhile creating an alter-ego with Xu Keâs blood essence, I also fused a strand of Mr. Baiâs charm.â
Li Fan quickly thought things through.
He soon identified the sources of his own abnormalities.
âIndeed, thereâs no such thing as a free lunch in this world.â
âBy resembling Mr. Bai, I gained an unparalleled talent and comprehended some Divine Techniques.â
âBut in exchange, it brought about his subtle contamination of the alter-ego, and even the original self.â
âAlthough I became alert when I sensed something wrong and was ready to restore my original state as soon as I detected any influence on my true self,â
âwhat I didnât expect was that it was already too late when the original self realized this.â
In Li Fanâs spirit consciousness, that astonishingly perfect visage surfaced once again in an instant.
âMr. BaiâŚâ
âInteresting.â
âYou wish to use me for your rebirth? Then I will fulfill your desire!â
A gleam of sharp light flashed in Li Fanâs eyes.
In his mind, the Huadao Stone, already loaded to the brink, suddenly erupted with blue brilliance.
Countless scenes flashed through it.
Those were the various possibilities Li Fan was deducing for the future.
âYou think you can obstruct my pathâŚâ
âIt wonât be that simple!â
Suddenly, the light from the Huadao Stone went out completely.
Li Fan had already thought of a strategy to deal with the situation.
A cold smirk appeared on his lips as he sat down slowly and, unhurriedly, continued deciphering the data of the [Art of the Boundless Spiritual Abyss].
The scene shifts back to Xu Bai.
Exchanging a glance with the Sacred Embryo, both of them simultaneously revealed strange smiles.
Xu Bai gently pointed at the red string before him: âGo!â
The red string seemed to come to life, flying straight towards the Sacred Embryo.
At the same time, Xu Bai took out piles of top-grade spirit stones from his storage ring.
He crushed them with a palm strike.
Offspring or alter-egos created using the Sacred Blood into Embryo Method have no cultivation base.
But for the Sacred Embryo Xu Bai, that was not a problem at all.
His aptitude, just like Xu Baiâs, was already unimaginable.
Not to mention the cultivation experience accumulated over the many years of Li Fanâs reincarnations.
âAbsorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to control its essence!â
The Sacred Embryo Xu Bai chanted slowly.
In the secret room, an invisible whirlwind seemed to arise.
The tangible dense spiritual energy emitted howling sounds as it swarmed towards the Sacred Embryo Xu Bai.
In just a few moments,
he broke through the barrier between mortals and cultivators, successfully stepping into the Initial Stage of Energy Refining.
The speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy did not slow down but became even faster instead.
The alter-ego Xu Bai, expressionless, repeated the process of taking out top-grade spirit stones, crushing them, and taking out more again.
If it were an ordinary cultivator absorbing such a vast amount of spiritual energy in a short period,
they would have likely exploded already.
But the Sacred Embryo Xu Bai seemed like a bottomless pit.
Unfazed, he swallowed as much spiritual energy as came at him,
sucking it all into his Dantian.
His realm was climbing at a visibly rapid rate.
Mid Stage of Energy Refining, Final Stage of Energy Refining.
Perfect Energy Cultivator!
The [Catastrophe of the Heavens] that troubled countless cultivators around the world seemed to not exist at all for the Sacred Embryo Xu Bai!
The alter-ego Xu Bai, too, saw for the first time what a truly top-tiered talent of a New Law Cultivator looked like when not hindered by any bottlenecks.
That terrifying speed of cultivation!
âFalse is the wonder of heaven and earth, used to build the Tao Foundation!â Sacred Embryo Xu Bai chanted once more.
Within the Dantian, Mr. Baiâs Red String emitted a faint light.
Without the slightest obstruction, it all came together naturally.
In but a single breathâs time, Sacred Embryo Xu Bai had completed Foundation Establishment.
The faint Red String dissolved into his Dantian, forming his Tao Foundation.
Thus, its true name was also revealed.
[Blade of Divine Destiny].
âIf there is Heavenly Will, let it be with me.â
âHow wonderful.â
Sacred Embryo Xu Bai and his clone, Xu Bai, exclaimed in unison.
Upon entering the Foundation Establishment Phase, Sacred Embryo Xu Bai did not halt his cultivation.
He continued to absorb the dense and pure Spiritual Energy within the secret room ceaselessly.
His cultivation realm also rose rapidly and steadily.
Foundation Establishment Phase, still with no sign of a bottleneck or hardship.
Mid Stage Foundation Establishment, Final Stage Foundation Establishment, Perfect Stage Foundation EstablishmentâŚ
âPeeping the Law of Heaven and Earth to refine the Golden Pill.â
Sacred Embryo Xu Bai, with hands clasped behind his back.
Uttered word after word.
Opening his mouth, he absorbed the dense Spiritual Energy in the secret room, which was already about to condense into liquid, instantly leaving nothing behind.
He simply took the Storage Ring filled with Spirit Stones handed to him by his clone, Xu Bai.
He held it in his hand.
Within the Dantian, the red radiance slowly solidified.
âMy will is the Heavenly Will, my heart is the heart of Heaven.â
Sacred Embryo Xu Baiâs voice naturally trailed off.
As if a monumental explosion had occurred.
The red light spread to every part of the Dantian.
Before sharply contracting to an extreme.
Moments later, a red speck appeared within Sacred Embryo Xu Baiâs Dantian.
Sacred Embryo Xu Bai entered the Golden Core Realm!
In such a short time, he accomplished what typical cultivators would take decades, or even centuries, to achieve.
Yet, he still did not stop the progress of his cultivation.
With an uninterrupted supply of Spiritual Energy, Sacred Embryo Xu Bai advanced towards Golden Core Perfection.
Unsurprisingly, there was still no appearance of any [Catastrophe of the Heavens].
The double standard of the Profound Yellow Celestial Way could thus be seen.
And when Sacred Embryo Xu Bai finally succeeded in ascending to the level of Golden Core Perfection,
Not half a day had passed since he was officially created.
âIs this Mr. Baiâs speed of cultivation?â
âNo, Mr. Bai of the past was even faster. He transformed from a mortal to a god in an instant.â
Within the secret room, Sacred Embryo Xu Bai and his clone, Xu Bai, conversed with each other.
After a long silence, the clone, Xu Bai, still shook his head slightly.
âIn the current Xuanhuang World, a half-day Golden Core is already the limit.â
Sacred Embryo Xu Bai nodded in agreement, âSeize the essence of Heaven and Earth to become a Nascent Soul.â
âWithout prior preparation, even with high talent, itâs impossible to advance even a bit further.â
âAs the saying goesâŚâ
Sacred Embryo Xu Bai bowed to his clone, Xu Bai, with a graceful step and departed.
âBefore me, the Immortal Path is unattainable, with the Celestial Dharma Bearer above!â
His figure had already vanished.
But his voice echoed within the secret room, lingering for a long time.
The clone, Xu Bai, knew that Sacred Embryo Xu Bai had gone out to seek the opportunity for Nascent Soul establishment.
For other cultivators, this process would undoubtedly be full of incredible hardships.
But for Sacred Embryo Xu Bai, it was but a trifling matter.
There was even no need to worry about the safety of Sacred Embryo Xu Bai.
Even though he had only reached Golden Core Perfection at this time.
Not even God Transforming cultivators were necessarily his match.
BecauseâŚ
âMy heart is the heart of Heaven.â
