Chapter 391: Tianxuan’s First Creation

A crisis vanished into thin air.

After the calm returned, thunderous applause erupted on the giant crossing dust boat.

The Formation Masters and numerous collaborative builders, witnessing the incredible power of the creation they had worked on for years, could not hide the excitement on their faces.

Li Fan also clapped along sociably, his face full of gratification.

However, once a certain thought appeared in his mind, he could no longer suppress it.

The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance had painstakingly constructed the awe-inspiring Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array.

But once the task was complete, would the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance really let builders like Li Fan and the others live?

It wasn't that Li Fan was overly suspicious.

"Peace is won by the general, but the general is never allowed to see peace" was a common occurrence throughout history.

After building their tombs, Mortal emperors would often execute all the craftsmen involved to prevent any secrets from leaking.

Li Fan truly had little confidence in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

If it were just a monitoring array, perhaps they, the Formation Masters responsible for its construction, might have a sliver of a chance at survival.

But now that the Lock Spirit Array had shown such might in its first trial…

It was hard to imagine how many things this array was hiding in the shadows.

The stronger the actual power of the Lock Spirit Array, the slimmer the survival chances for the Formation Masters became.

"Perhaps the life extension from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance I was hoping for hasn't arrived because of this."

"Since they are all destined to die anyway, why bother with such a superfluous gesture?"

As Li Fan thought this, his heart grew increasingly cold.

Just as he was pondering his future strategy, the exclamations of the crowd drew his attention back to the void below.

After the massive explosion, except for the giant cyan net of the Tianxuan Locking Spirit, the original location of the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven was completely empty.

However, at this moment, abnormal energy could be seen gushing out from various nodes and pathways of the Lock Spirit Array.

"Is that… Five Elements energy?"

After sensing it carefully, Li Fan's expression changed slightly.

Using the extinct void as a canvas and the various attribute energies absorbed earlier as paint…

The Tianxuan Locking Spirit acted like a precision machine, bit by bit, reconstructing the destroyed Five Elements Cave Heaven.

This process, comparable to creation itself, unfolded openly before the members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

Azure waters surged with waves, towering trees grew at high speeds, and raging flames reached the heavens…

All the scenes within the former Five Elements Great Cave Heaven were rapidly reappearing at a speed far exceeding Li Fan's understanding.

This magnificent sight firmly captured the hearts and minds of all the Cultivators on the crossing dust boat.

None dared to make the slightest sound, for fear of disturbing the grand creation of the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array.

Time passed slowly.

After an unknown amount of time, a brand new Five Elements Great Cave Heaven appeared in the world.

After being recalibrated by the tianxuan mirror, although its scale seemed much smaller than before, it had restored its original state of Five Elements balance.

Having completed its masterpiece, the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array also slowly faded from everyone's sight, like an actor taking a final bow.

Leaving behind a group of Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance Cultivators filled with silence and daze.

"Such methods…"

Li Fan took a deep breath, suppressing the shock and trepidation in his heart as he quickly performed a rational analysis.

"It's different from true creation. It's not making something from nothing, but rather a reorganization of matter."

"Moreover, there seem to be no living beings in this newborn cave heaven; it's simply a realm of reorganized Spiritual Qi."

"Even so, the strength displayed by the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array is terrifying."

"It seems to have analyzed Five Elements United and then performed reverse engineering."

"An empty Five Elements Cave Heaven with no living beings, the mysterious attribute imbalance, the prepared eternal calamity refined gold, and the absolute order to complete the array construction before the Five Elements United…"

"Perhaps the explosion of this cave heaven was intentional. The purpose was to allow the tianxuan mirror to complete the analysis of the Five Elements Transformation."

As if confirming Li Fan's guess, after the new Five Elements Cave Heaven was fully generated, many black-clad Cultivators flew out from the crossing dust boat in unison.

They each flew to different cave heavens to settle the Five Elements creatures that had been transferred earlier.

Before long, this newborn cave heaven slowly became full of vitality again.

At this time, an announcement from Qi Buyi came through the Dutian Record.

The Lock Spirit Array of the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven was successfully completed, and the crossing dust boat would return to Tianchen State for a three-day celebration.

Not only were many rare spiritual foods and spiritual teas prepared for everyone to taste for free…

But during the rest period, it would still count as building the array in the Five Elements Cave Heaven, and the competition points would increase at a uniform, fixed rate.

Once the news broke, the Cultivators woke up from the shock brought by the Lock Spirit Array, one after another, feeling extremely excited.

"Currently, the Lock Spirit Array is not yet fully constructed, so there shouldn't be any immediate threat to our lives." Looking at the group of Cultivators discussing animatedly, Li Fan thought for a moment and felt it wasn't yet time for their final meal.

While he was lost in thought, Li Fan suddenly noticed an abnormality from an item in his storage ring.

Remaining calm, he quietly entered the crossing dust boat, found an empty cabin, and took the item out.

It was the key to controlling the White Bone Vanguard Realm, the White Bone Left Hand.

Traces of fluctuations were emanating from it.

Li Fan sensed it slightly and was momentarily dazed.

"Hello, Fellow Daoist. I haven't been able to contact you through 'Seeking Immortals,' so I can only use this method to notify you."

"The thirty-year lease has expired. Does the White Bone Vanguard Realm need to be renewed?"

"If needed, please contact me before the expiration date."

"Otherwise, the previous key will lose its effect, and you will no longer be able to enter the White Bone Vanguard Realm."

"The left-behind objects and scenes in the Vanguard Realm will be temporarily saved for you for three months."

"After three months, I will clear them out."

A somewhat familiar voice sounded in Li Fan's mind.

It was the true owner of the White Bone Vanguard Realm, the Cultivator who called himself Zi Miao Immortal Venerable.

In Anchor Year 9, in order to fool the people of the Li Realm, Li Fan had leased the White Bone Vanguard Realm from him for thirty years.

It was now the end of Anchor Year 38, and the lease was about to expire.

Zi Miao Immortal Venerable had sent an inquiry message.

"The construction of the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array began in Anchor Year 29. I didn't expect ten years to pass so quickly."

After thinking about it, Li Fan did not reply to Zi Miao Immortal Venerable for the time being.

When the crossing dust boat returned to Tianchen State and the group of Cultivators went to the Thousand Star Villa to feast and celebrate wildly…

Li Fan instead went alone to the Lundao Tower in the city.

He rented a private small courtyard, casually set up a protective Formation, and entered the White Bone Vanguard Realm.

He left behind four little medicine king cauldrons, then activated the Five Elements Extinction Sword to destroy all of his previous arrangements.

After using his authority to leave an image in the Vanguard Realm…

Li Fan returned to the real world, destroyed the White Bone Left Hand, and completely severed the last trace of connection with the Vanguard Realm.

"In this life, the purchase of the Vanguard Realm was handled by my Clone, Li Fan."

"Next, no matter what happens, it shouldn't be traced back to me."
