Chapter 806: A Scheme Across the Worlds
It wasn’t that Su Yuqing was Mr. Bai.
Rather, the aura she exuded was strikingly similar to his.
So much so that when Li Fan glanced at her, he nearly mistook her for him.
Her every movement was as natural as if ordained by the heavens. Every frown and smile carried an ineffable charm.
But most notably, there was an unmistakable purity in her benevolence.
She extended her hand, and a butterfly landed gently on her palm, unafraid in the slightest.
Even when Su Yuqing curiously prodded its wings with her finger, the butterfly did not fly away. Instead, it fluttered its wings eagerly, as if playing with her.
Su Yuqing laughed joyfully, and as a soft breeze passed through, the flowers in the garden bloomed in unison.
Watching this scene from above, Li Fan narrowed his eyes.
"The one favored by the Heavenly Dao..."
"No, it would be more accurate to say that the Heavenly Dao itself has descended."
"The only difference between her and Mr. Bai is that this world lacks spiritual energy and has a lower energy level."
"As a result, Su Yuqing—this incarnation of the Heavenly Dao—has very limited capabilities."
"Unlike Mr. Bai, who wields earth-shattering power."
"At most, she can summon the wind, call the rain, and influence celestial phenomena."
Li Fan carefully contemplated Su Yuqing’s connection to the Great Li World.
"Hmm... The Great Li World is being suppressed by the Fire World. If she remains unaware of this and does not actively guide it..."
"Then all she will experience are occasional strange phenomena in her daily life."
"I wonder what criteria the Heavenly Dao uses to select its vessel..."
With a gentle tap of his finger, Su Yuqing—who had been playing—suddenly froze in place, motionless.
A strand of spiritual energy shot from Li Fan’s fingertip, circled around Su Yuqing, and then returned.
Li Fan couldn’t help but click his tongue in admiration. "As expected of the Heavenly Dao incarnate. Even in a small world, the innate talent she possesses is rather terrifying."
"But..." After a brief moment, Li Fan’s brows furrowed slightly.
"I can actually sense a faint trace of the Fire World’s aura. It’s completely at odds with the Great Li World..."
He recalled that soon, Su Yuqing would experience the Heaven-Man Resonance and conceive Su Xiaomei.
And Su Xiaomei’s unique talent—where her power grew stronger the angrier she became—was clearly more compatible with the Fire World.
In that instant, Li Fan deduced the probable cause behind all of this.
The Great Li World and the Fire World had collided in the void. As a lower-tier world, the Great Li World was barely holding on under the Fire World’s relentless suppression.
Its inevitable demise was almost certain.
In a desperate attempt to resist its fate, the Heavenly Dao of the Great Li World chose a suitable vessel to incarnate within.
Trying to turn the tide...
No!
A sudden flash of insight struck Li Fan’s mind.
"Even the Heavenly Dao itself is unable to resist the Fire World. Incarnating within a human would not change that outcome."
"But this is already an all-or-nothing gamble for the Great Li Heavenly Dao. It wouldn't take such an action if it were meaningless."
Within his consciousness, the Dao Deviation Stone emitted a faint blue glow, and a figure appeared before Li Fan’s eyes.
It was He Zhenghao!
"Fellow Daoist He comes to the Great Li World from time to time to earn extra profit, helping some mortals smuggle themselves into the Xuanhuang Realm."
"That is precisely the only path to survival!"
"So, the Great Li Heavenly Dao is planning to escape?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, it might actually succeed..."
"However..."
Li Fan shook his head slightly. “The Great Li World and the Fire World have already fused closely together. Even the heart of the world has a volcano embedded within it. Because of this, the actions of the Great Li Heavenly Dao were perceived by the Fire World’s Heavenly Dao.”
“Following the trail and intervening midway.”
“This ultimately led to the birth of Su Xiaomei not long after.”
“The plan to escape through possession ended in stillbirth! In the end, there was no escaping the fate of being devoured.”
“If I had not intervened.”
The Heavenly Dao of the world might not possess the delicate consciousness of a human, but its operations must certainly follow an incredibly complex mechanism—not necessarily inferior to human intelligence.
Making such a decision to avoid harm and seek benefit is also understandable.
After clarifying the events that took place in the Great Li World, Li Fan felt a subtle stir in his heart.
“If the Great Li World is like this, then what about the Xuanhuang Realm?”
“Mr. Bai’s transformation from a mortal to a Soul Transformation cultivator happened precisely when the new cultivation method was beginning to spread on a large scale.”
“The Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao became aware of it and descended upon Mr. Bai.”
“Was it to turn the tide? Or…”
Li Fan unconsciously stroked his chin.
Because he had deduced a conclusion that, at first glance, seemed rather absurd.
“Perhaps the reason the Heavenly Dao possessed Mr. Bai was the same as in the Great Li World… or even like the Canghai Pearl before the Crimson Flame Burning Sea incident.”
“All to escape.”
Li Fan pondered for a long time. “That might actually be possible.”
“Of course, it may also be hedging its bets.”
“As for what exactly happened, perhaps the answer lies within the Fallen Immortal Realm.”
After contemplating for a while, he temporarily set the matter aside.
Li Fan then turned his gaze toward Su Yuqing, who remained motionless, as if petrified.
“It’s not impossible to lend you a hand. This would be a good opportunity to test the effects of the ‘Sitting Immortal Art’!”
As the advanced version of the ‘Sitting Mountain Art,’ the biggest difference in the ‘Sitting Immortal Art’ was that the conditions for receiving cultivation feedback were no longer as strict.
It was no longer necessary for the other party to break through to a new realm for him to receive feedback.
Instead, even small acts of kindness would be repaid in kind!
This was a fundamental shift.
Even if one wasn’t as perceptive as Li Fan, as long as they practiced benevolence and built strong connections, they could also cultivate rapidly.
“The Xuanhuang Realm is under the watchful eyes of numerous ancient beings, making it difficult to act freely.”
“But the smaller worlds are much safer.”
“In my past life, the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s campaign against the smaller worlds conveniently helped eliminate some of the more dangerous realms…”
“There’s great potential here!”
“The only problem is that most of these small worlds lack spiritual energy.”
“But I’ve already devised a solution for that.”
Li Fan’s eyes gleamed as he refined his plans for this lifetime.
Seven days later—
The Great Li Volcano, which had just finished erupting, suddenly erupted again without warning.
Billowing black clouds covered the sky, making it look as if the apocalypse had arrived.
This volcanic upheaval was far more violent than before, launching countless firestones high into the air.
Some of these firestones, glowing with intense heat, streaked across the sky, traversing half the world before hurtling toward the capital.
The mortals in the city trembled in fear.
All they could do was pray to the heavens for protection.
But the heavens did not heed their pleas.
Although they avoided the initial small stones, eventually, a massive firestone—almost as large as half the capital—came roaring toward them.
If it struck, no one in the Great Li capital would survive!
Despair spread among the people.
At that moment—
A sigh suddenly echoed throughout the capital.
In the next instant, an immortal with an ethereal, transcendent aura appeared above the Great Li capital!
