Transforming things and shedding their shells

Li Fan was deeply shaken.

He didn't expect that after fulfilling Immortal Master Tian Yang's eternal legacy, not only did he gain a lot, but Huan Zhen also unlocked a new function.

No wonder Huan Zhen felt a sense of hunger when he saw the eternal legacy before.

Li Fan immediately began to carefully study this so-called Incarnation.

A moment later, he frowned slightly.

"Consumes 100% Essence Manifestation charge progress, abandons the Physical Body, and completely entrusts one's True Spirit to an item…"

"After becoming an item, one cannot retain independent consciousness, only a trace of 'Spirit' will remain."

"Correspondingly, the duration of existence will be greatly extended."

"When the duration reaches its limit, the Huan Zhen function will automatically trigger, returning to a pre-set anchor point."

"…"

"What's the use of this?"

Li Fan was initially a little disappointed.

However, after careful consideration, he vaguely thought of a use for Incarnation.

Most fundamentally, it allows one to remain in the world and gather information even after their Lifespan is nearing its end and they are about to die, by transforming into an object.

Although the specific details of many events might not be clearly known.

But regarding the future direction of the world's major trends, as long as it's entrusted to a reliable person, it shouldn't be difficult to grasp.

Furthermore, according to Huan Zhen's feedback, if Li Fan were to use Incarnation now, he could potentially extend his existence for nearly three thousand years.

Even if the duration might be shortened due to damage to the transformed object, it would still greatly enhance Li Fan's foresight ability for future visions.

Thus allowing for better planning in the next life.

Over a thousand years, those who could leave their names in history were certainly not ordinary individuals.

They were true heroes.

He would note down their names and invest in them when he started over.

This was much more efficient than Li Fan's previous method of slowly gathering talents in one state, relying solely on what he encountered and heard.

Li Fan was subtly moved.

"For example, in this life, what will the Xuanhuang World become like under the cover of the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation? Perhaps I can use this to understand it clearly…"

To be cautious, Li Fan again confirmed the many details after Incarnation.

"'Transforming into an Object' and 'Manifesting the Void' are powers of the same level. After transforming into an object, as long as one cannot resist Huan Zhen's Essence Manifestation power, then the trace of True Spirit entrusted to the item cannot be discerned."

"After transforming into an object, the Essence Manifestation charge progress will still automatically increase, and the upper limit will be raised to 1000%, greatly enhancing self-protection capabilities."

"Besides the duration reaching its limit, when the Incarnation object encounters the danger of complete destruction, it will also trigger automatic Huan Zhen."

…

Before long, Li Fan had made his judgment.

The safety of this Incarnation function was guaranteed.

"It just so happens that my Lifespan in this life is nearing its end, and with my identity as a Formation Master of the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation, even if I could live for a few more years, my freedom would be restricted."

"It's better to transform into an object, shedding my mortal coil like a cicada. Then I can quietly observe the changing world."

"But before that, I need to choose the Incarnation object and the person to entrust it to."

Li Fan scanned his storage ring.

His gaze stopped on a translucent disk.

"The Array Breaker Jade Disk, specially made by the Fairy Alliance Strategy Array Hall, is a Magical Artifact for breaking Formations, provided to Formation Masters at the Soul Transformation stage and above."

"It was a reward for being among the top one hundred in the final assessment at Haunyu Manor."

"It hasn't been of much use these past few years, as I've been busy constructing the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation."

"Compared to other items of unknown origin, a Magical Artifact produced by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance itself will certainly arouse much less suspicion."

"Next, what I need to consider is how to get this Array Breaker Jade Disk into the hands of the designated person."

Li Fan pondered carefully in the secret chamber.

Time slowly passed.

During this period, Li Fan received messages from Huangfu Song, Qi Buyi, and even Ji Hongdao.

They asked him when he would come out of the Museum of Divine Treasures.

They told him to go directly to the Ce Zhen Hall at the Immortal Alliance Headquarters after coming out, as the reward for ranking second on the Grand Competition Gold List was ready.

He could claim it at any time.

In addition, the Lifespan-extending treasures were also prepared, just waiting for him to arrive.

Li Fan merely sneered when he saw them and didn't reply to any of them.

He wasn't afraid of them coming to his door and forcibly taking him away.

Within the Museum of Divine Treasures, there was an area called 'Xuanhuang Myriad Forms'.

It preserved frozen samples of all living beings in the Xuanhuang World.

Recalling the all-devouring Immortal Ruins above the Xuanhuang World, Li Fan had vaguely guessed during his visit.

This so-called Museum of Divine Treasures, rather than being like a museum.

It was more like a place to preserve the world's embers.

If the Xuanhuang World truly faced destruction one day, this place would likely bear the responsibility of preserving the civilization's embers, hoping for future reconstruction.

Later, he asked the narrator Bingyin, and it was indeed true.

The Shenzang Pavilion held an extremely special status, and all conflicts were forbidden within it.

Even the Ce Zhen Hall did not have the authority to forcibly apprehend people.

As long as Li Fan hid inside and didn't come out, Ji Hongdao and the others had no way.

Before activating Incarnation, Li Fan checked on his Xiao Fan Clone's situation.

Han Yi, full of hope, explored the Heavenly Capital Ruins with him.

Not only did they find nothing, but they also encountered many inexplicable dangers along the way.

Both were severely injured and returned to Source Dao City in a sorry state to recuperate.

On the way back, Han Yi kept looking at Xiao Fan Clone with suspicious eyes, hesitating to speak several times.

"What a pity, I thought I could gain something with this person's luck."

Li Fan thought, shaking his head slightly.

Then he manipulated the Clone, returning alone to the previously explored Heavenly Capital Ruins.

He found a Restriction, actively sought death, and ended the Clone's life.

…

"With this, the next plan can proceed."

Li Fan's eyes flickered.

As Incarnation was activated, a trace of True Spirit entered the Array Breaker Jade Disk in his storage ring.

Li Fan's consciousness suddenly went black.

And the aura on his body rapidly weakened.

At the same time, He Zhenghao in Tianyun State and Huangfu Song in Tian Yu State both received Li Fan's dying message.

"A will?"

Huangfu Song's expression changed, filled with disbelief.

He quickly contacted Ji Hongdao.

Half a day later, when Qi Buyi rushed over with Huangfu Song, what they saw was Li Fan's corpse.

"He just died like that?"

Huangfu Song was stunned.

Qi Buyi stepped forward with a serious expression to examine him, then nodded.

The two looked at each other, both speechless.

"I saw his face didn't look right earlier. He said he was fine, just needed some rest. But the result…" Narrator Bingyin shook his head and sighed.

Huangfu Song transmitted, "What do we do now?"

"The person's dead, what else can be done?" Qi Buyi looked displeased, glanced at him, then flicked her sleeve and left.

There's one more chapter tomorrow.
