Li Fan returned to the largest Penglai Immortal Island to cultivate in seclusion, a smile on his face. "This time, the harvest was enormous: two top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasures, three top-tier Innate Spiritual Roots, and plenty of other treasures."
Next, he needed to repair his own origin. Although Li Fan's current cultivation could not affect the origin of a top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, he had obtained Tongtian Jianmu.
The surface of Tongtian Jianmu shimmered with a deep, almost metallic dark cyan hue.
Li Fan slowly absorbed World Origin from Tongtian Jianmu.
The origin within his body grew ever stronger, and his original Reincarnation Origin had completely merged into World Origin.
Every collision of origins reshaped the foundation of the universe.
Li Fan opened his eyes, mysterious light gleaming within them. "From now on, call me a World Innate Divine Being. When I do bad things in the future, I can create a new identity—say, a Reincarnation Innate Divine Being. Call me Li Lunhui. Heh heh heh!"
Next came the breakthrough into the Da Luo Realm. Penglai Immortal Island was relatively safe. Li Fan had so many treasures on him that if someone robbed him, he would feel like dying.
Once he possessed a Grand Unity Dao Fruit, he could completely refine top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasures and have the confidence to flee before Great Divine Powers.
Once one attained Great Luo, one remained Great Luo forever, free and unfettered.
For Li Fan, Tongtian Jianmu had lost one-fifth of its origin and suffered a severe loss of vitality. Fortunately, its foundation had not been damaged.
He placed it inside the Minor World and gently stroked it. "Don't worry. Your origin will recover. Absorb the Dao essence of the other Innate Spiritual Roots here. One day, I'll help you recreate the Chaos Spirit Root, the World Tree."
Jianmu flashed twice in response to Li Fan.
Arriving beside the Enlightenment Tea Tree, Li Fan carefully picked its tea leaves. There were exactly three thousand leaves.
Li Fan took out nine tea leaves, steeped them in Three Lights Divine Water, and used Samadhi True Fire to brew the tea. It was extravagantly luxurious.
A fragrant tea aroma rushed into his nose. "Smells amazing. I'll let Goddess Wangshu try it when I return. Brewing tea with Three Lights Divine Water... heh heh heh."
"Let me have a taste."
After drinking the tea, his body and mind seemed to have been washed clean, incomparably cool and refreshed.
The Enlightenment Tea Tree could cleanse one's Dao Heart and grant enlightenment into laws. It was the ultimate "cheat" for cultivators breaking through bottlenecks.
Li Fan began constructing his own Dao Fruit, using the Law of World as its core and countless laws as support, analyzing and rewriting the rules governing the flow of law energy.
With the aid of the Enlightenment Tea Tree, his cultivation speed increased tremendously.
Countless billions of years passed. Li Fan's Dao Fruit had reached perfection, and his breakthrough into Great Luo would happen today.
He broke through the essence of the Law of World and recreated the Big Bang with his divine body.
Li Fan's Grand Unity Dao Fruit slowly rose within the River of Time.
Above the River of Time, many Great Luos sensed the disturbance in spacetime. "Which deity is breaking through to Great Luo?"
"Which faction does this deity belong to? Do any of you know him?"
Taiyin Star Lord Wangshu, whose expression had remained unchanged for ten thousand years, was filled with shock. She sensed Li Fan's aura from the Dao Fruit.
"Li Fan is breaking through to Great Luo!"
Too fast—far too fast. From the time Wangshu had met Li Fan until now,
less than Five Epochs had passed in the Primordial World, yet Li Fan was already about to break through to become a Da Luo Venerable God.
"Li Fan, it seems you have many secrets!" A deity born from Mount Zhou was no less formidable than the Heavenly Gods and Earthly deities of this era.
Li Fan had set the fastest record since Pangu's Creation of Heaven and Earth for breaking through to the Da Luo Venerable God realm.
Goddess Wangshu's face was domineering. "He is a deity of my Taiyin Star. Whoever dares obstruct his path, don't blame me for showing no mercy."
Taiyang Star Lord Zhuzhao's face was dark and cold. He was not confident he could defeat Wangshu, and he guessed that she had broken through to the Da Luo Eleventh Layer some time ago.
Zhuzhao revealed a vicious expression. "Damned Heavenly Emperor! You stole my Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell. Pangu clearly left it behind to suppress Taiyang Star. Chaos Bell, why didn't you choose me?"
"Wangshu, how are you so lucky? The Taiyin Jade Forbidden Pearl, the Innate Supreme Treasure that suppresses Taiyin Star, chose you."
Zhuzhao's face was full of fury. "Taiyang Star does not even have an Innate Spiritual Root. Fusang Tree, where are you?"
Jealousy twisted his features beyond recognition. "Is it just because my body contains part of the origin of the Chaos Demon Gods that the Primordial World's fortune refuses to favor me?"
Zhuzhao's face twisted hideously. "You forced me to do this. God Merged with Dao, Dao taints the Demon Gods—come forth! The Dao Fruit of the Chaos Demon Gods!"
Solar Star God Zhuzhao had already fallen into madness!
Calamity Qi slowly began to spread through the Primordial World. A great calamity was already brewing, and the Chaos Demon Gods were beginning to stir.
Li Fan knew none of this. However, he could hear Goddess Wangshu calling out in the River of Time. Great kindness needed no words of thanks.
In truth, Li Fan had also prepared a backup plan. If anyone dared strike under the River of Time's restrictions, his Innate Spiritual Treasures were not to be trifled with either.
With three Innate Spiritual Treasures unleashed, who could contend with him!
Li Fan's Grand Unity Dao Fruit burst out of the River of Time.
From then on, he stood beyond the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements!
Great Luo changed the dimension of life, and the Grand Unity Dao Fruit spanned past and present.
Within the River of Time, no matter which period one encountered, every Li Fan from every era would be in the Great Luo Realm. That was the true weight of attaining it once and retaining it forever!
My fate is mine, not Heaven's! With this phenomenon as his beacon, he proclaimed it to the Primordial World!
From this moment onward, Li Fan officially stepped onto the Primordial Stage.
Primordial Stage—if you have dreams, come.
Heavenly Emperor Cangli said, "Another deity now walks alongside us."
Tianling Clan, the Da Luo Venerable God under the Heavenly Emperor, said, "Indeed, indeed. Under Your Majesty's wise leadership, the Primordial World is flourishing, and the day we beat the Chaos Demon Gods to death is close at hand."
Zunlu Clan, the Da Luo Venerable God under the Earth Emperor, sneered. "Bootlicker. Taiyin Star Lord taught him well."
They were all masters of social maneuvering. Candle Dragon of the Dragon Clan looked shocked. "Isn't this the guest who came to our Dragon Clan some time ago and said he was waiting for you? As expected, his talent is extraordinary."
Hongjun slowly spoke. "Another Dao companion has joined us. I wonder whether he is interested in our Qi Refinement Path."
Luohu raised a brow. "Oh, a sword wielder. I'll find him someday and spar with him."
Li Fan could roam the River of Time of this era, sensing the vastness and infinity of time.
If he wished to travel through time, whether to the end of the upstream or downstream of time, he could do so—as long as he could withstand the axe light from Pangu's creation of Heaven and Earth.
Within the River of Time, Li Fan called out to Goddess Wangshu with a smile. "After some time, I'll return to Taiyin Star."
Goddess Wangshu, having regained her cool expression, said, "I understand."
This breakthrough had consumed half the tea leaves, but as long as the result was good, that was all that mattered.
In the Primordial Unrecorded Years, Li Fan sorted through his own Dao Fruit. Once the Grand Unity Dao Fruit had stabilized, he could refine Innate Spiritual Treasures.
The Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Jade Plate of Creation, was his companion spiritual treasure and had long since been fully refined.
The last time, he had refined forty Innate Restrictions of the Twelve-Grade Pure World White Lotus. Eight remained.
Li Fan continuously comprehended the Path of World Purification, causing all evils to retreat.
One hundred thousand years later, the refinement succeeded. As a top-tier Innate defensive spiritual treasure, Li Fan's current Great Luo Realm still could not unleash all of its power.
Another hundred thousand years passed, and Li Fan completely refined the remaining twelve Innate Restrictions of the top-tier Innate offensive spiritual treasure, the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl.
However, as a main-body fragment of a Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl gave Li Fan a tremendous surprise: it recorded the axe light of Pangu's Creation of Heaven and Earth.
Li Fan could slowly comprehend it in the future. This was the imprint of creation—it was not cheating, merely a minor advantage.
After leaving seclusion, he discovered that the Five Immortal Islands of the Sea had nearly drawn together.
As Chaos fragments of the same origin, the formations of the five immortal islands shared the same origin as well.
Li Fan spent one hundred thousand years linking the five Innate Grand Formations together. The origins between the immortal islands circulated through one another, accelerating the time of their emergence.
The concealment effect of the Innate Grand Formations greatly increased. Even Great Luo would find them difficult to detect. Furthermore, Li Fan improved the formations, using the unique Chaos Qi within the islands to evolve earth, wind, water, and fire, attacking enemies who forced their way in.
The mark Li Fan had left behind would sense it immediately, allowing his true body to arrive in time to provide support.
With the task complete, Li Fan was about to leave the Land of Guixu and return to Taiyin Star.
