Building the sky marrow with bare hands

Destruction and creation have always been completely different things.

Powerful Immortal Cultivators can easily move mountains and boil seas. However, trying to forge rivers and mountains barehanded is countless times more difficult.

It may seem like many Cultivators can achieve this, but they are merely moving water and soil from elsewhere in this world to another location.

What Xu Bai just did in the Beast Realm was quite different.

That was casually producing flowers and creating objects out of thin air.

Or rather, altering heaven and earth.

As Dao Integration powerhouses, Liu San and Fang Zaiji saw this extremely clearly.

Within the Beast Realm, those suddenly appearing mountains, rivers, and trees were not originally within the natural evolutionary scope of this Small World's Heavenly Dao.

Yet Xu Bai forcefully rewrote the Laws, forcing them to undergo corresponding changes.

This not only involved purely material aspects, but more importantly, the alteration of the Laws of the Origin.

The roaring sounds in the Beast Realm gradually subsided. Amidst the complex gazes of Liu San and Fang Zaiji, Xu Bai awoke from his Epiphany.

Noticing the gazes gathered on him, Xu Bai was slightly stunned.

Then, keenly discovering the changes in the mountains and rivers of the Beast Realm, he came to an understanding.

"While still in the process of comprehension, the body could naturally execute it. My intent merges with the heavens, smooth and natural as if born of nature."

"Amazing!"

Of course, what Li Fan was praising from the bottom of his heart was not himself, but this Clone.

Or rather, that wisp of Mr. Bai's divine charm that created the various wondrous aspects of this Clone.

With a thought, all the scenes that occurred in the Beast Realm during his Epiphany instantly surfaced in his mind.

Xu Bai said thoughtfully: "Using the hand as a brush to alter heaven and earth. This Divine Ability can be named [Heavenly Transformation]."

The initial inspiration for the [Heavenly Transformation] Divine Ability came from the Reversed Five Elements Life and Death Sword.

Back then, after Li Fan comprehended this Divine Ability from natural wonders like the Root of Heaven and Earth weaving the Five Elements Grotto-Heaven and the Five Elements Return to One Great Destruction, he was able to achieve simple 'creation': reshaping the Spiritual Qi scattered in the air back into Spirit Stones.

However, when the things he wanted to create out of thin air became complex, Li Fan was powerless to do so.

But this time, the reason he could manage to reshape the world with a wave of his hand according to his will was precisely because of the existence of the seventeen-petaled Heavenly Spirit Flower.

On the petals of the Heavenly Spirit Flower, the mountains and rivers of Tianling Province were displayed. The Clone Xu Bai examined them closely, as if he had personally entered the petals, rapidly flying over the skies of the former Tianling Province. The scenery before his eyes changed rapidly, and the entire process of the birth of the world's mountains and rivers presented itself before him one by one.

To put it more plainly, it was as if the Heavenly Dao served as a teacher, personally demonstrating the process of creating mountains and rivers for Xu Bai on the Heavenly Spirit Flower.

Thus, Xu Bai, immersed in his Epiphany, learned with great adeptness. Following and emulating his teacher, the heavens, he unconsciously completed a simultaneous 'copying' within the Beast Realm.

"When Xu Bai executes the [Heavenly Transformation] Divine Ability, there is no blockage at all. But for the main body to fully master it, it still requires repeated trials."

Strictly speaking, the current Heavenly Transformation, once outside the Beast Realm, had an aesthetic value far greater than its practical application.

Because Li Fan was currently only at the Nascent Soul Realm, the impact he could cause on heaven and earth was truly limited.

However, this was a Divine Ability with boundless prospects.

The greatest use Li Fan could think of at present was self-crafting the Pith of Heaven and Earth.

As a necessary item for advancing to Soul Transformation, the Pith of Heaven and Earth was the 'driving force' that caused the world to change.

Tianling will give birth to a thousand waters, Taihua will give birth to a thousand mountains…

If a Nascent Soul Cultivator wanted to use this as a basis to break through to the Soul Transformation Realm, they must first observe the impending changes in a certain region.

Then extract and absorb this 'driving force' to complete their own advancement.

In the Congyun Sea, there were hundreds of Nascent Soul Cultivators, yet only two Soul Transformation Cultivators: Ziyun and Hongxi.

This huge, fault-like disparity in numbers was enough to illustrate the difficulty involved.

Wanting to observe the Heavenly Transformation in advance was already extremely difficult for ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators. And to keep it hidden from other covetous Nascent Soul Cultivators while absorbing the Pith of Heaven and Earth all by oneself was even harder than ascending to the heavens.

But for Li Fan, who had mastered the [Heavenly Transformation] Divine Ability, he could completely instigate heaven and earth to change in some remote, uninhabited area.

Then steal this power and effortlessly complete his advancement.

If he were a bit bolder…

Mass-producing Soul Transformation Cultivators was not entirely impossible!

Dao Integration Cultivators were practically the Dominators of a province. Soul Transformation Cultivators could definitely be considered the backbone of the Myriad Immortals Alliance.

If an organization with dozens or hundreds of Soul Transformation Realm Cultivators were to suddenly appear, presumably both the Myriad Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association would have to treat it with caution.

Of course, the premise of all this was that the process of [Heavenly Transformation] triggering the changing force of the Xuanhuang World would not be peeped at by powerhouses.

Doing it covertly once or twice might allow him to conceal it. But large-scale abnormal movements would undoubtedly be exposed.

By then, attracting the gazes of Dao Integration Cultivators or even the Celestial Venerable of Longevity would be expected.

Therefore, currently, how to execute [Heavenly Transformation] within the Xuanhuang World while ensuring his own safety required Li Fan to test the waters step by step.

"Congratulations, Young Lord, on making further progress along your Dao path!"

Seeing Li Fan wake up, Liu San flew forward to congratulate him, a faint trace of joy appearing on his face.

While speaking, he did not forget to casually seal off the surrounding space to prevent exposing the fact that Xu Bai was Li Fan's Clone.

And the [Eye of Shared Vision] operated by Fang Zaiji also edged closer: "Using mountains and rivers as a scroll, the Laws as ink, and the Divine Ability as a brush…"

"Sect Master, you are truly amazing!"

"I remember that back then, the Divine Brush Sect had a similar Divine Ability. It's just a pity that it is said shortly after Chu Youhong created this move, the Divine Brush Sect suffered a tragic annihilation…"

"This move…"

Liu San's face twitched, and before Fang Zaiji could finish speaking, he flicked his large sleeve and put away the golden eyeball.

Fang Zaiji's voice abruptly stopped, and the surroundings instantly fell silent.

Liu San then relayed Jiao Xiuyuan's conditions to Xu Bai.

"Fellow Daoist Jiao still refuses to scatter the hawk until he sees the rabbit."

His response was within Xu Bai's expectations.

Extending his left palm, the seventeen-petaled Heavenly Spirit Flower flew to his palm.

Xu Bai smiled holding the flower.

Clearly, not a single petal of the ice-sealed Heavenly Spirit Flower was missing, yet a transparent petal reflecting 'the newborn morning sun obliquely shining on the mountains' appeared in Xu Bai's right hand.

"This was 'copied' by me from the primordial Heavenly Spirit Flower, lacking even a tenth of the charm of the original. But, it is enough…"

"Old Liu, if you hand this item over to Jiao Xiuyuan, he will naturally know the preciousness of the Heavenly Spirit Flower."

Xu Bai said indifferently.

Liu San solemnly protected the transparent petal in his palm, nodded, and flew away.

"We need to speed up the progress. This matter must be completed before the Myriad Immortals Alliance officially announces the advent of the Great Exploration era."

"Otherwise, everyone will go explore the White Mist, and who will still come to buy my Heavenly Spirit Flower?"

Xu Bai muttered inwardly, waving his hand like a brush as he drew out piece after piece of imitated "Heavenly Spirit Flower petals" in the air.

Compensation for yesterday.
