Li Fan returned to the largest Penglai Immortal Island to enter seclusion, a smile on his face. "The harvest this time is truly immense: two Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasures, three Top-tier Innate Spiritual Roots, and various other treasures."
Next was the task of repairing his own origin. Although Li Fan's current cultivation level could not shake the origin of a Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, he had obtained the Tongtian Jianmu.
The surface of the Tongtian Jianmu shimmered with a profound, dark cyan color that appeared almost metallic.
Li Fan slowly began to absorb the World Origin from the Tongtian Jianmu.
The origin within his body grew increasingly robust, and his original Reincarnation Origin had completely merged into the World Origin.
Every collision of these origins was a reshaping of the very foundations of the universe.
Li Fan opened his eyes, which shone with a mysterious light. "From now on, call me a World Innate Divine Being. In the future, when I want to do something wicked, I can create a new persona—for instance, a Reincarnation Innate Divine Being. Call me Li Lunhui. Hehehe!"
Next was the breakthrough to the Da Luo Realm. It was relatively safe on Penglai Immortal Island; Li Fan possessed so many treasures that if he were robbed, he would rather die.
Possessing the Da Luo Dao Fruit would allow him to fully refine Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasures, giving him the confidence to escape in the presence of Great Divine Powers.
Once a Da Luo is verified, it is verified for eternity; one becomes free and unfettered.
To assist Li Fan, the Tongtian Jianmu had lost one-fifth of its origin and suffered severe damage to its vitality, though fortunately, its foundation remained intact.
He placed it into his Minor World and stroked it gently. "Rest assured, your origin will recover. Stay here and absorb the Dao essence of the other Innate Spiritual Roots. One day, I will lead you to evolve back into the Chaos Spirit Root, the World Tree."
The Jianmu flickered twice, responding to Li Fan.
He approached the nearby Enlightenment Tea Tree and carefully plucked its leaves, gathering a total of 3,000.
Li Fan took out nine tea leaves, brewed them with Three Lights Divine Water, and boiled the tea using Samadhi True Fire—an incredibly extravagant display.
A refreshing fragrance of tea leaves wafted toward him. "So fragrant. I'll let Goddess Wangshu have a taste when I return. Brewing tea with Three Lights Divine Water, hehehe."
"Let me have a taste."
After drinking the tea, his body and mind felt as if they had been cleansed, leaving him feeling incomparably refreshed.
The Enlightenment Tea Tree could cleanse the Dao Heart and facilitate sudden enlightenment regarding laws; it was the ultimate "cheat" for cultivators breaking through bottlenecks.
Li Fan began to construct his own Dao Fruit, using the Law of World as the core and numerous other laws as support, analyzing and rewriting the rules of energy circulation.
With the assistance of the Enlightenment Tea Tree, his cultivation speed increased significantly.
Hundreds of millions of epochs passed, and Li Fan's Dao Fruit reached perfection. The breakthrough to Da Luo would happen this very day.
He broke through the essence of the Law of World, using his divine body to reenact the Big Bang of the world.
Li Fan's Da Luo Dao Fruit rose slowly within the River of Time.
Above the River of Time, many Da Luo sensed the fluctuations in space-time. "Which deity is breaking through to Da Luo?"
"Which force does this deity belong to? Does anyone recognize this god?"
The Taiyin Star Lord, the Great Goddess Wangshu, had a face filled with shock, her expression usually unchanging. She felt Li Fan's aura emanating from the Dao Fruit.
"Li Fan is breaking through to Da Luo!"
Fast, too fast. From the time Wangshu had first met Li Fan until now, less than five epochs had passed in the Primordial World, and Li Fan was already about to break through to a Da Luo Venerable God.
"Li Fan, it seems you have many secrets!" A deity born from Mount Zhou was no less impressive than the heavenly and earthly gods of this era.
Li Fan had shattered the record for the fastest time to reach the Da Luo Venerable God realm since Pangu's Creation of Heaven and Earth.
Goddess Wangshu looked imposing. "This is a deity from my Taiyin Star. Whoever dares to obstruct his path, do not blame me for being discourteous."
The face of the Taiyang Star Lord, Zhuzhao, was filled with a cold, sinister expression. He was not confident he could defeat Wangshu, as he suspected she had broken through to the Da Luo Eleventh Layer some time ago.
Zhuzhao's face twisted with malice. "That detestable Emperor! He snatched my Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell. It was clearly left behind by Pangu to suppress the Solar Star. Why didn't you choose me, Chaos Bell?"
"Wangshu, why are you so lucky? That Innate Supreme Treasure, the Taiyin Jade Forbidden Pearl, which suppresses the Taiyin Star, chose you."
Zhuzhao looked furious. "The Solar Star doesn't even have an Innate Spiritual Root. Fusang Tree, where are you?"
Jealousy distorted his features. "Just because I have a portion of the origin of a Chaos Demon God within me, the fortune of the Primordial World does not favor me."
Zhuzhao's expression turned ferocious. "You have forced my hand. God Merged with Dao, Dao tainted by the Demon God—come forth! The Dao Fruit of the Chaos Demon God!"
The Solar Star God Zhuzhao had descended into madness!
The Calamity Qi of the Primordial World began to permeate slowly; the Great Calamity was already gestating, and the Chaos Demon Gods were beginning to stir.
Li Fan knew nothing of this. However, he could hear Goddess Wangshu calling out in the River of Time, "Great kindness needs no thanks."
In reality, Li Fan had also prepared a contingency. If anyone dared to strike under the constraints of the River of Time, his Innate Spiritual Treasures would not be mere decorations.
Once three Innate Spiritual Treasures were unleashed, who could contend with him?
Li Fan's Da Luo Dao Fruit rushed out of the River of Time.
From this moment on, he jumped outside the Three Realms and was no longer within the Five Elements!
Da Luo changed the dimension of life; the Da Luo Dao Fruit traversed both the ancient and the present.
In the River of Time, no matter which period you encountered, every version of Li Fan was at the Da Luo realm. This was the weight of being verified for eternity!
My fate is determined by me, not by Heaven!!! Using the phenomena as a beacon, he declared his presence to the Primordial World!
From this moment forward, Li Fan officially stepped onto the Primordial Stage.
The Primordial Stage is a grand arena; if you have a dream, come and join.
Heavenly Emperor Cangli remarked, "Another deity has joined us on our journey."
Tianling Clan, a Da Luo Venerable God under the Heavenly Emperor, replied, "Indeed, indeed. Under your wise leadership, the Primordial World flourishes, and the day we crush the Chaos Demon Gods is close at hand."
Zunlu Clan, a Da Luo Venerable God under the Earth Emperor, sneered, "Sycophant. That is only because Goddess Wangshu taught him well."
They were all masters of worldly affairs. Candle Dragon of the Dragon Clan looked on in shock, "Isn't this the one who came to visit our Dragon Clan a while ago? Truly, his talent is extraordinary."
Hongjun spoke slowly, "Another fellow Daoist has joined us. I wonder if he has any interest in our Qi Refinement Path."
Luohu raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? A sword-user. I shall find a day to spar with him."
Li Fan could roam the River of Time in this era, feeling the vastness and infinity of time itself.
If one wishes to traverse time, whether to the upper reaches or the end of the downstream, one can do so—provided one can withstand the axe light from Pangu's Creation of Heaven and Earth.
While in the River of Time, Li Fan called out to Goddess Wangshu with a smile, "I shall return to the Taiyin Star in a little while."
Goddess Wangshu, having resumed her cold and aloof expression, replied, "I know."
This breakthrough had consumed half of his tea leaves, but as long as the result was good, it was worth it.
Time holds no meaning in the Primordial World. Li Fan sorted through his own Dao Fruit; once his Grand Unity Dao Fruit was stabilized, he could begin refining his Innate Spiritual Treasures.
The Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Jade Plate of Creation, was his companion treasure and had long been fully refined.
He had previously refined 40 of the Innate Restrictions on the Twelve-Grade Pure World White Lotus, leaving eight remaining.
Li Fan continuously contemplated the Path of World Purification, causing all evil to retreat.
One hundred thousand years later, the refinement was successful. As a top-tier Innate defensive spiritual treasure, Li Fan's current Da Luo Realm could not yet unleash its full power.
Another hundred thousand years passed, and Li Fan fully refined the remaining twelve Innate Restrictions of the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl, a top-tier Innate offensive spiritual treasure.
However, as a primary fragment of a Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl gave Li Fan a great surprise: it recorded the axe light of Pangu's Creation of Heaven and Earth.
Li Fan could slowly contemplate this in the future. This was a mark of creation; it wasn't cheating, just a minor advantage.
After emerging from seclusion, he discovered that the Five Immortal Islands of the Sea had nearly converged.
As fragments of the same origin of Chaos, the grand formations of the five immortal islands were also of the same source.
Li Fan spent 100,000 years linking the five Innate Grand Formations together, allowing the origins between the islands to circulate and accelerating their emergence.
The concealment effect of the Innate Grand Formation was greatly increased, making it difficult even for a Da Luo to discover them. Furthermore, Li Fan improved the formation, utilizing the unique Chaos Qi within the islands to derive earth, wind, water, and fire to attack any enemies who dared to intrude.
Any mark left by Li Fan would trigger an immediate sensation, allowing his true body to arrive in time to provide support.
With his work complete, Li Fan prepared to leave the Land of Guixu and return to the Taiyin Star.
