Chapter 1015: Immortal Ancestor Leaving the Treasure Vault

Ever since Tianyang appeared before him, the Master Qiaogong's gaze had not shifted away.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

Master Qiaogong looked him up and down, marveling repeatedly.

"How strange, how strange."

"To think that man and object have fused so perfectly..."

"Back then, our Heavenly Mechanism Realm's chief elder, Shangguan Tuo, once sought to fully control [Ancestor]. He took a desperate gamble, merging his divine soul into the damaged core of [Ancestor]."

"The result, of course, was failure. It nearly led to the destruction of the Heavenly Mechanism Realm. After that, similar attempts were absolutely forbidden. While our Heavenly Mechanism Realm's artifact-refining techniques are quite ingenious, achieving a state this natural and perfect..."

The Master Qiaogong's eyes sparkled with delight, gradually revealing a look of obsession.

Tianyang, though somewhat wooden, had long since escaped his state of muddled consciousness. He eyed the Master Qiaogong warily and quietly moved to Li Fan's side.

"Heh, this is the wonder of the myriad realms of cultivation, each with its own marvels. This technique is called Body Transforming into Dao: it allows the body to transform into an object, merging self and thing as one. Fellow Daoist Qiaogong, after observing for so long, do you have any ideas for reinforcing Tianyang?" Li Fan asked with a smile.

"I have ideas, oh, I have so many ideas! I simply..." The Master Qiaogong's face flushed red with excitement, as if he had discovered a fascinating new toy.

"If Fellow Daoist Tianyang had appeared in our Heavenly Mechanism Realm back then, it would have caused a massive stir! It might even have completely altered the history of the Heavenly Mechanism Realm!"

"Our replicated Heavenly Mechanism Puppets still fall far short of their prototype [Ancestor]. The most critical issue is the limited materials: each one must be fully crafted before comparison. Because we cannot communicate with the puppets, but if Fellow Daoist Tianyang could assist..."

"Many of [Ancestor]'s functions might be realized one by one..."

"Of course, it might require the assistance of the power from Fellow Daoist's Flower of the Dao." At this point, the Master Qiaogong turned to look at Li Fan.

"Heh, Fellow Daoist Qiaogong, proceed as you wish." Li Fan promised generously.

Sensing Tianyang's doubts about the Master Qiaogong's reliability, Li Fan silently reassured him, finally dispelling Tianyang's concerns.

Watching as the Master Qiaogong and Tianyang disappeared together, Li Fan flashed into the central underground chamber.

"Can source force act upon and sublimate a magic treasure?"

Li Fan summoned the Final Dissociation Disc.

After pondering for a moment, he did not choose the source force essence generated from the Faceless Stone Statue. Nor did he use the source force gathered from the Vital Essence of All Living Beings Technique.

Instead, he used only the feedback cultivation obtained from his own practice of the Immortal Sitting Art.

A Calamity Body in his dantian shattered.

The vast stored cultivation, under Li Fan's guidance, surged toward the Final Dissociation Disc.

Upon careful observation, Li Fan discovered that the vast majority of the source force was not absorbed by it.

Instead, it rebounded intact.

If no cultivator collected it, it would eventually dissipate slowly between heaven and earth.

But Li Fan also keenly noticed that a very small portion of the source force vanished into thin air during contact with the Final Dissociation Disc!

Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, generating a new Calamity Body on one side while regrouping the scattered Source Force.

On the other side, he continued to scour the Final Dissociation Disc with Source Power.

In this way, it was like sifting through sand with great waves.

Gradually, the Final Dissociation Disc finally underwent a change.

From external observation, it was hard to discern that the change had truly occurred. But the enhancement in the Dissociation Disc's speed of deriving formations was undeniable.

"Some treasures, after being used by cultivators for a long time, will slowly develop spirituality and become as easy to command as one's own limbs, exerting even greater effects. In truth, this process is somewhat similar."

Sensing the increasingly deep and evident bond between himself and the Final Dissociation Disc, Li Fan gained a moment of insight.

Unfortunately, every object has its own limit.

Through the extraction of Source Power, the Final Dissociation Disc's capabilities ultimately increased by about one-fifth.

After that, Source Power had no further effect on it.

"Better than nothing. I just do not know if, after the Dissociation Disc absorbs the nine disks of this world and undergoes a qualitative change, this method can still be used to temper it once more." Li Fan thought to himself.

Speak of the devil and he shall come.

Three days later, Li Fan finally received a message from Mo Rubin.

The meeting place was still that concealed Cave-Heaven, and the nine Dissociation Disc had already been obtained.

When Li Fan met Mo Rubin again, he noticed that there seemed to be some change in him.

"Hm? You seem a bit different?" Li Fan asked bluntly and directly.

Mo Rubing smiled, without concealing anything: "Hahaha, as expected, it cannot fool Brother Xingwang's discerning eye!"

"I have toiled hard for the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, resolving one trouble after another. My merits are plain for all to see, so naturally, the Council of Dharma Transmitters has bestowed a reward." Mo Rubing said with evident pride on his face.

"Is not the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance all yours as Transmitters? You can take whatever you want. Why need any reward?" Li Fan replied with a half-smile, half-sarcastic tone.

"You cannot say that. The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has always belonged to the esteemed Immortal Ancestor. We Dharma Transmitters, Mirror Holders, and the True Illusory Sages are merely managing it on his behalf." Mo Rubin said with a face full of righteousness, as if it were the model of propriety.

Then he burst into laughter.

"However, the items in this [Treasure Vault of Ten Thousand Realms] are truly none but extraordinary treasures. This time's great harvest is also an unexpected delight." Mo Rubin did not say exactly what he had obtained, but instead introduced the Treasure Vault of Ten Thousand Realms.

It turned out that the Treasure Vault of Ten Thousand Realms contained numerous treasures obtained by the Immortal Ancestor from scavenging the corpses of those cultivation realms that had fused with the Xuanhuang Realm.

In the Darkest Star Sea, only the Xuanhuang Realm had survived.

The other cultivation realms had either fallen into the Immortal Ruins or been devoured by the Xuanhuang Realm.

All the treasures from the realms had been gathered into this treasury.

The name "Ten Thousand Realms" was truly well-deserved.

Those that could catch the eye of the Immortal Ancestor and be collected were naturally of immense value.

In Li Fan's mind, he even envisioned the diligent Immortal Ancestor dragging fragments of cultivation realms from the starry sky, first collecting the treasures within them, and then fusing them into the Xuanhuang Realm.

"It is a pity that the Treasure Vault of Ten Thousand Realms can only be opened by joint resolution of the Council of Dharma-Transmitters. I cannot even pocket anything privately. Otherwise, I could let Brother Xingwang enjoy some benefits too." Mo Rubing said with a smile.

Li Fan responded with a cold face: "They are but external objects after all. Just like these nine Dissociation Disc, they are merely tools. In the end, it still depends on us ourselves."

Upon hearing this, Mo Rubin's expression changed.

Then he said solemnly: "Brother Xingwang is right. My mindset has become a bit complacent."

Li Fan snorted coldly and said no more.

He merely looked at the nine Dissociation Disc that Mo Rubin casually handed over during his speech, Discs that seemed both near and far, shimmering with crystalline white light.

He forcibly suppressed the surging desire that suddenly arose from the Final Dissociation Disc in his sea of consciousness.
