Chapter 316: Golden Pill Comes to the Fallen Immortal

The affinity with the Array Pivot of the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation, along with the understanding of the Formation’s structure and Soul Contract traces, were listed as the three major assessment items for this closed training.

Its weight was even more significant than the first two.

When Li Fan personally set up the core Formation and tried to guide the Array Pivot into it, but received no response, he finally understood why affinity was so important.

At this moment, the Tianxuan Array Pivot was like an arrogant goddess, ignoring Li Fan.

No matter how hard Li Fan tried, he couldn't move her in the slightest.

However, for the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation to be effective, she was indispensable.

Without the Array Pivot, even the largest Formation was just an empty shell.

This central core Formation could be said to be designed specifically for her. Its only purpose was to perfectly integrate the Array Pivot into the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation.

Now that the palace was built, the main resident was still reluctant to move in.

This naturally put Li Fan in a difficult position.

The special nature of the Array Pivot prevented Li Fan from trying to replicate the old events of the Langya Royal Mansion.

After trying many methods, he still couldn't manage to draw the Array Pivot into the Formation.

In desperation, Li Fan had no choice but to find another way.

Since the goddess stayed put and refused to enter the palace, Li Fan would build a new palace where she was.

He disassembled and rebuilt the already formed central core Formation.

With the Array Pivot as the core, Li Fan spent more than two days constructing a brand new Formation structure around her.

“Although this won’t achieve perfect integration, it can barely be considered a complete Formation,” he thought.

“There’s no hope for a reward in this life, I just hope the results aren’t too bad.”

After completing the Formation, Li Fan sighed inwardly.

It seemed Li Fan’s persistent dedication had slightly moved the Array Pivot.

After moving into the core Formation area, looking at this brand new residence, it gently shifted its body.

Just this tiny movement caused the compatibility between the Array Pivot and the core area to more than double.

Li Fan was overjoyed and immediately tried to communicate with the Array Pivot again.

Unfortunately, that previous initiative seemed to be its limit, and subsequently, no matter how Li Fan operated, there was no further change.

Soon, the seven-day period was up.

Looking at the Formation, which could only be considered barely合格, Li Fan shook his head inwardly and left the assessment space.

“I should get a passing grade for the Formation construction part. As for the debugging and calibration of the Array Pivot, it’s basically a blank slate. But this is the limit of what I could do in this life.”

“The Array Pivot didn’t give Face, there was really nothing I could do.”

“It’s said that among the students who took the exam in the previous rounds, there was even one who could make the Array Pivot actively throw itself into his arms?”

“I wonder if it’s true or false.”

…

After the exam, it would take another two or three months for the results to come out.

Li Fan temporarily left the Haunyu Manor and, instead of wandering around Tianyu City, returned to the small courtyard he had rented earlier in Lundao Tower.

He had left in a hurry when summoned by Ji Hongdao previously, so he hadn't canceled the lease on this small courtyard.

However, Li Fan had paid enough deposit, so even if he wasn't there, it was still reserved for him.

Entering the small courtyard, he went to the Cultivate secret room, which was said to be extremely private and capable of blocking the Divine Sense of a Dao Integration cultivator. Li Fan took out the four items representing clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

He placed them respectively in the east, west, south, and north, and silently chanted, “fusheng xuanhuang heavenly lord!”

He intended to activate the ritual immediately and enter the Fallen Immortal Realm.

During the closed training, the restriction on entering had actually already disappeared. However, at that time, he was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage of Cultivation, so to avoid exposing his secrets, Li Fan still chose to endure for a short while.

Now that he had advanced to the Golden Core Realm, he could openly enter and exit the Fallen Immortal Realm without arousing suspicion from others.

However, out of apprehension towards Ji Hongdao and others from Ce Zhen Hall who created the Heavenly Mystery Spirit Locking Array, Li Fan still chose to perform the ritual in the relatively more private Lundao Tower.

“Senior Brother Zhang, I know you are wise and mighty, but please don’t come again this time,” Li Fan murmured inwardly, and then the ritual began.

This time, the process of entering seemed even longer than before.

His vision was completely dark, lingering in an unknown, mysterious space.

Li Fan wanted to see the surrounding environment clearly, but he felt drowsy and couldn't concentrate.

So he could only rely on his senses to distinguish the surroundings.

It was as if he was in water, but it wasn't as cold as water.

The liquid enveloping his body made him feel warm and secure.

Whenever he felt hungry or weak, a gentle and peaceful energy would come from somewhere, soothing him and letting him fall into a deep sleep.

His body seemed even weaker than Tian Yang, whom he had experienced before, and he spent most of his time in slumber.

Fortunately, after reaching the Golden Core Realm, Li Fan's Divine Sense strength surged.

The time he could stay in the Fallen Immortal Realm also increased from the original half a month to more than two months.

It was almost the same as an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

So he didn't tragically end this Fallen Immortal Realm journey directly in a coma.

Thus, Li Fan continuously absorbed the warm liquid and the occasional peaceful energy around him.

He felt himself constantly growing stronger.

He didn't know how long it had been, but when there was no more liquid to absorb around him, an inexplicable feeling surged into his heart.

It was time.

Li Fan instantly understood.

Driven by the body's instinct, Li Fan used his long, pointed beak to continuously peck at the darkness in front of him.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

It was a gentle peck, but to Li Fan at this moment, it was like a world-shattering roar.

After trying for a long time, Li Fan felt a bit tired.

But only a faint, almost invisible crack appeared in the darkness.

A sense of discouragement arose spontaneously in his heart.

Just then, that gentle energy reappeared, nourishing Li Fan's body.

Fatigue and weakness instantly vanished.

Reinvigorated, Li Fan continued his great endeavor of “creating the world.”

When he got tired, he would rest for a while, and immediately, wisps of peaceful energy would be transmitted, allowing him to continue.

Repeating this process, more and more cracks appeared in front of him.

But Li Fan also noticed that the energy that had been supporting him seemed to be continuously weakening.

Fortunately, Li Fan was lucky. Before the gentle energy was exhausted, he finally carved out a small hole in the endless darkness.

A ray of sunlight passed through it, parting the darkness and shining on Li Fan.

Li Fan, with a burst of energy, pecked continuously with his long beak.

The small hole gradually became a small opening, eventually forming a large hole big enough for Li Fan to squeeze out of.

Li Fan shook his head and squeezed out towards the exit.

Sunlight, gentle breeze, the chirping of insects and birds, the fragrance of flowers and plants…

In an instant, a beautiful and vast world appeared before Li Fan.

But at this moment, he had no time to admire the breathtaking scenery.

Because he felt incredibly hungry.

Looking back at the broken egg he had emerged from, a realization surged into his heart.

Li Fan didn't hesitate and began to devour it ravenously.
