The stele was left with the ga corpses in the yard and it was using its divine consciousness to survey its surroundings.
‘Oh my god, there’s so much Wisdom in here! And the air! The air has the Origins aura. Everything here, even that stool, is an Origins Ultimate Treasure! No wonder the Origins in the seventh dinsion is so thick. It seems to be coming from here… Could it be that the expert has the ability to create Origins? It’d be unbelievable if he really could!’
Suddenly, a faint lemony aroma wafted out, giving him a boost of energy. There was also a hint of honey sweetness mixed with the lemony aroma. The combined effect was one of refreshnt, and it ca from the honey lemon tea. In addition to the unique fragrance, the most important thing was that this sll also contained a magical aura that could eliminate fatigue, nourish the soul, and heal any wounds!
The stele felt that its divine consciousness, which was already weak to the point of dissipation, stabilized instantly after breathing in the lemony, honey aroma. It was all so surreal. Looking at Nanan and the others tasting the tea gave birth to two emotions it had never had in his life—greediness and envy. It was sure that one sip of the tea would bring it up to heaven.
Then, it paid attention to Li Nianfan and the others that were chatting; it could feel that Li Nianfan was a genuinely kind and friendly person, and this had the effect of a spring breeze blowing away all the dust from one’s body. It was obvious that Li Nianfan possessed power beyond imagination, but he was still humble, not one bit of aloofness. He was also willing to share his good fortune with those around him without hesitation.
If the stele had not seen it with its own eyes, it would not have believed that there was such a perfect person in the world. ‘Seventh Sister’s fortunate to be able to be by the expert’s side. I don’t have to worry about her now.’
At this ti, Nanan and Dragin were tasting the tea while introducing the ga animals to Li Nianfan.
“Brother Li, that white wolf’s a Moon Eater Wolf. It can devour the essence of the sun and moon. It cultivates under the Wisdom of the five elents and uses its eyes to conjure five elental ultimate spells. World-annihilating thunderbolts or endless sacred fire would follow wherever his gaze lands, making it a formidable opponent in any place!
“And that lion over there with the horn on its head is a Golden Horned Lion. As the descendants of the unicorn and the Chaos Divine Lions, its talents far surpasses its mother and father. This lion can manipulate Wisdom and can summon powerful ultimate spells to destroy the world.
“And that one over there is…”
It was important to introduce the ingredients used in making the dishes to complete the experience of a al. The rarer the ingredient, the more difficult it was to source them. This has the effect of making diners look forward to their als. Just thinking about it would make them drool.
Which was exactly what Li Nianfan was doing right now. His Adam’s apple would roll with every new introduction of the ga at. Although he had eaten dragon at, unicorn at, and many more before, the world of cultivation was full of powerful demons that he had not tried before. Hearing how powerful they were made him want to eat them even more.
Soon, the introduction of the ga at was over and everyone’s eyes fell on the stele.
Li Nianfan raised his brow slightly and said in surprise, “This is…a stele?”
‘What’s going on? Why would they bring back a rock? And this stele isn’t just missing a corner, but it’s also full of cracks. It looks like it’ll shatter at any ti.’
“Master, we find this stele very unique, and a little…pitiful, so we brought it back,” said Qin Manyun.
‘Pitiful? I never thought that word would be used to describe a stele… But after a closer look, this stele is indeed pitiful. It’s a wonder it still managed to remain intact with that many cracks.’
Li Nianfan moved closer to the stele and said, “The material of this stele’s really rare and interesting. Not to ntion the word ‘Suppress’ etched on it, but it’s obviously a bit of a ss, making it look distorted.”
It would be a lie to say that the stele was not nervous under Li Nianfan’s scrutiny, so when it heard that he said it was rare and interesting, it beca very happy. Then, that happiness turned into resignation when he said that it was ssy and distorted. Its power of sealing a dinsion ca from the word ‘Suppress’, so Li Nianfan’s evaluation of the word was a huge blow to him. ‘It seems like I’m not good enough for the expert.’
Dragin looked at the stele with sorrow in her eyes and could not help asking, “Brother Li, is this stele unusable?”
“How can we use it when it’s broken?” Li Nianfan shook his head, then paused and said, “But since you brought it back, I’ll fix it up a bit and maybe it’ll beco usable then.”
Everyone’s hearts lifted when they heard this. The stele was faintly trembling, and the words on it beca brighter. In the backyard, the willow tree’s branches swayed with the wind, revealing a cheerful mood.
“Brother Li, how are you going to fix it? Let us help you!” said Nanan.
“Easy. Bring so rocks over and I’ll teach you all how to make cent,” said Li Nianfan with a smile.
The easiest way was to paint the stele with cent. The production thod was not complicated, and everyone who studied chemistry would know it. Although he did not have the machinery for it, he had Nanan and the others who were immortal cultivators; their techniques were more convenient than machines.
Thus, they began the process of making cent after finishing their al—grinding, purifying, matching, decomposing, and stirring. The steps were carried out in an orderly manner. The yard beca livelier than before while the powder in the air contaminated everyone, making everyone look dusty.
However, as the process progressed, everyone could clearly feel the endless Origins flowing in the yard, and in a flash, it beca an ocean of Origins. The stele felt the cells in its whole body jumping in joy. The listone powder in the air was like the world’s best tonic, nourishing its body crazily.
However, when it watched Li Nianfan stirring, it was so shocked that the cracks on its body cracked even harder. With Li Nianfan’s stirring, he could clearly feel the imasurable Origins rising like a fountain from the cent. The amount was so vast and the impact was so strong that it even rushed straight into the sky, forming a colossal pillar that could hold up heaven. It was as if the Origins were cheaply available everywhere.
‘What kind of Immortal Machine is he cultivating?’ It was dumbfounded, its worldview was completely shattered. It even began to feel a little scared. It was general knowledge that no matter what kind of refining tool one was using, just like cultivation, it had to follow a principle of drawing power from heaven and earth. The power could be in the form of Spiritual Qi, laws of the universe, Wisdom, or Origins. However, what Li Nianfan was doing was the opposite! He was actually adding more Origins to the environnt.
‘He really can create Origins! The cent he’s making must be really powerful to give out so much Origins! He’s…he’s…too aweso! Heaven would eat its heart out if he knew that the Origins he had been so desperately searching for can be so easily created by the expert. Am I really worthy enough to use this kind of cent to refine my body? This is better than anything I could ever dream of.’
Still stirring, Li Nianfan began to explain the process to Nanan and the others. “Cent can be used for a lot of things to benefit mankind. To make it, you have to first crush the rocks and then burn them with fire. This process is repeated several tis until the right consistency is reached. I’ll teach you a new poem, please, morize it.”
Nanan and the others nodded their heads earnestly.
“You co out of deep mountains after hamr blows, under fire and water’s torture you aren’t in woes. Though broken into pieces, you’ll have no fright, you’ll purify the world by washing it ever white.”
Everyone repeated after him and was imdiately taken into the artistic conception of this poem, making their Dao Hearts tremble.
‘The unknown gray mist confuses the common people, and this created the Catastrophe of the Seven Dinsions. This is caused by the uncertainty of one’s Dao Heart. Master must’ve taught us this poem to strengthen our Dao Hearts and to not be afraid of sacrifice and difficulties, to fight for the common people of the world!’ thought Qin Manyun.
The stele was very excited and its mind turned over and over again. ‘The expert’s praising ! The poem’s extolling my forbearance of being unbroken in the face of difficulties! I have no regrets even if I die now. I must work harder to earn more praise for him!’
After everyone had morized the poem, Li Nianfan brought the cent over to the stele and said, “Let’s carry this stele to the foot of the mountain. It can be used as a landmark for the Fallen Immortal Mountain. I’ve made extra cent to build a road that leads to the foot of the mountain.”
This was an idea that Li Nianfan ca up with when he was making the cent. He might just as well make more to spruce up his place a little.
“Build a road?” Everyone was taken aback by his idea, baffled as to how they would ever build a road. Even at their cultivation level, they had no confidence that it would be possible for that to happen.
As the saying went, ‘No matter how high the mountain is, its na will spread far and wide if there’s an immortal’. The Fallen Immortal Mountain was originally an ordinary mountain, but as Li Nianfan moved in, the whole mountain was reborn into extraordinariness after it was influenced by Li Nianfan’s aura.
For example, the trees at the foot of the mountain were almost impossible to chop down. Therefore, it was not hard to imagine just how difficult it would be to build a road on the mountain. The power needed was simply beyond their reach.
However, they did not dare say anything after seeing the determination on Li Nianfan’s face. They could only bite the bullet and go ahead with his plan.
They all gasped as soon as they walked out of the four-part architecture. The mountain dirt road in front of them was covered with gravel, fallen leaves, and weeds. Although it was not that great to begin with, it was at least flat. In theory, it should have remained the sa for thousands of years. Now, there were a few more potholes. So parts of the ground had collapsed and there was gravel obstructing the road. It was indeed ti for reconstruction.
“Fine, we shouldn’t overthink it since Master’s determined to build a road,” said Qin Manyun in a whisper.
“It seems like this mountain’s following Master’s will. I bet it would’ve created its own cent if the Master didn’t,” whispered Shi Tuqin.
“Haha, I was right to make more cent. It would take a lot to build a road. Let’s all work hard together!” said Li Nianfan with a smile.
“Yes, Master!” Daji and others all nodded in response.
Jiang Liu and the Elite King’s deanor suggested that they were saying ‘I’m strong! You can leave all the hard labor to us!’
“Lord Saint, I volunteer to dig up and chisel the road!” said the Elite King.
“And I volunteer to grind the stones,” said Jiang Liu.
Dragin thought for a while and suddenly said, “I will bring the cows out of the backyard so that they can carry the cent and materials.”
anwhile, in the sixth dinsion, ‘Guhui’ appeared in a void. His face was slightly pale and his breathing was erratic. “Damn those Battle Spirit Guardians. It seems that after the group of people divided the seven dinsions, they also left behind a backup plan. I underestimated them. However, the Battle Spirit Guardians won’t pose any threat to once I get the Origins from the sixth dinsion.”
He kept thinking back to the battle in the first dinsion, and the more he thought about it, the more frustrated he beca. Then, he slowly raised his hand and an endless gray mist erged, converging into a huge face in the sky. The huge face let out a roar, making the entire sixth dinsion surge. A vision erged in the void as if so kind of magical thing was about to be pulled out.
It… It was the Origins of the sixth dinsion!
‘Guhui’ deliberately avoided the seventh dinsion. He used his ultimate spells to forcibly pull forth the Origins of the sixth dinsion and then swallowed it to increase his power. At the sa ti, several figures shot out from a distance. They were all shrouded in gray mist, making them pawns of the sixth dinsion. They remained expressionless as ‘Guhui’ devoured them.
The entire sixth dinsion shook and the beings in every corner feared that it was the end of the world, as if this dinsion was on the verge of collapse.
“What’s happening? Why do I have an ominous feeling about this?”
“A catastrophe must be coming! It’s over for us!”
“Quick, we have to ask for protection from the sects! Or find a safe place to hide!”
So of the stronger cultivators’ eyes nearly popped out when they saw ‘Guhui’ in the void.
“That…that…that’s the Origins of the sixth dinsion! What is it doing there?”
“Oh no! Soone’s extracting the Origins!”
“It’s hopeless! We’re dood!”
The sixth dinsion fell into chaos and an atmosphere of despair enveloped everyone. They could only watch helplessly as ‘Guhui’ devoured the Origins.
Suddenly, a ray of light pierced the space, and like a sharp sword, it went straight toward ‘Guhui’! He stopped what he was doing and cast a palm strike at the light.
The light was blasted away. It began to unfurl from the impact before revealing itself. It was a big flag. Then, it landed in the hand of the Soul Master. She stared at ‘Guhui’ fearlessly and said, “I, the Soul Master from the seventh dinsion, challenge you to a battle!”
