Li Fan was utterly engrossed in his study of the "Sky nding Record" and could not pull himself away.
He didn’t know how much ti had passed when a slight tremor throughout the Spirit Tree Realm jerked him awake.
"This is..."
Li Fan cast his gaze toward the center of the Spirit Tree Realm.
The colossal tree which was already lush and towering, piercing the clouds, now displayed an astonishing and extraordinary phenonon.
Its branches and leaves stirred without wind, shrouded in a hazy, glistening white light.
At the very top of the old tree, a beam of light shot straight into the sky, creating an actual hole in the sky do.
It wasn’t just an exaggerated figure of speech; at this mont, there really was a void in the sky of the Spirit Tree Realm.
The void seed to possess a terrifying suction force, drawing the surrounding clouds into a swirling vortex around it.
Beneath the gigantic tree, all the Tree People stopped their work and knelt to bow down.
Their faces did not show panic but radiated joy that ca from within their hearts.
"World upgrade?"
Now that the Spirit Tree Realm could be considered half a Magic Treasure of Li Fan’s, with a slight sensing, he knew what was happening.
The nourishing feedback from Lin Ling, the transformations implented by Shang Tianci with the Heavenly Scenery Gourd, and most importantly, the thousands of Furnaces of Heaven and Earth ceaselessly emitting Spiritual Energy...
All these factors combined finally led to the Spirit Tree Realm completing its tamorphosis.
This was a rare and peculiar scene that occurs only once in thousands of years, scarcely recorded even in the annals of immortal cultivation.
Li Fan, as well as everyone within the Spirit Tree Realm, held their breath and watched, comprehending.
Outside the world, in the Void, it seed as though sothing was being extracted, channeled into the Spirit Tree Realm through the gap in the sky.
A faint rumbling sound echoed through Heaven and Earth, and on the surface, it seed as though there were no major changes to the Spirit Tree Realm.
But as the master of the Spirit Tree Realm, Li Fan keenly sensed that the overall strength of the realm was rapidly increasing.
The most apparent sign was the colossal tree that constituted this realm.
Originally, Li Fan could have easily destroyed the massive tree with a single move.
But now, from its roots to its trunk and then to its leaves, every part of the tree was becoming tougher and tougher.
In the end, it even beca sturdy enough to withstand a strike from Li Fan without being utterly destroyed.
The void vortex gradually shrank and eventually disappeared.
The upgrade of the Spirit Tree Realm was finally complete.
Although the actual size of the Spirit Tree Realm seed unchanged, all those within the realm who had witnessed the process of the world’s upgrade felt an indescribable sensation.
The sky beca vaster, the earth more expansive.
Even the air beca fresher and more invigorating.
Life was intangible, but its presence could be clearly felt.
In this upgrade, apart from the Spirit Tree Realm itself, the greatest beneficiary was the Tree Man Female Clan Chief.
She finally broke through the threshold and her power beca comparable to that of an Integration Cultivator in the Xuanhuang World.
She had almost completely shed her Tree People appearance, looking hardly different from human cultivators.
It was only the natural patterns on her face that highlighted her original identity as one of the Tree People.
Transforming into a green dress, the Tree Man Female Clan Chief issued commands, ordering all the Tree People to continue their unceasing worship and praise of Li Fan, the Master of the Spirit Tree.
Before long, Li Fan’s serene voice ca from the sky.
"With the ascension of the Spirit Tree, a new era begins. Henceforth, thy fate is no longer confined to this realm alone..."
"Thou shall be nad..."
"Lin Xin, then!"
Lin Xin showed a look of excitent and led the Tree People to kneel and bow again.
Shang Tianci, Tianyang, and the others also wore expressions of emotion.
After instructing everyone to continue crafting the [Cosmic Crucible], Li Fan shifted his focus to the Spirit Tree Realm itself.
"Actually, if it hadn’t been captured by the Xuanhuang World, based on its current specifications and level, the Spirit Tree Realm should have already t the minimum standard requirents of the Immortal Cultivation World,"
Combining the descriptions within the "Sky nding Record," Li Fan pondered to himself.
"Before the path to immortality was severed, the world’s upgrade could have left a mark in the ascension passageway. Once the cultivators within this world reached a certain realm, they could ascend to immortality in the broad daylight, achieving feather transformation. Unfortunately..."
"Now that the path to immortality has been severed and it has fallen to be a vassal to the Xuanhuang World, to say it has been upgraded is still to say it remains a Small World subordinate to the Xuanhuang World,"
Li Fan shook his head slightly, "The Xuanhuang World really brings serious harm to others!"
"However, on the other hand, since the Spirit Tree Realm can still complete a world upgrade, then is it possible for the Xuanhuang World too?"
Li Fan furrowed his brow, thinking for a long ti, and finally concluded, "Theoretically speaking, it’s still possible for the Xuanhuang World to be upgraded."
"That is... to be sublimated into an Immortal World!" Li Fan’s eyes shone brightly.
"However, the gap between the Immortal Cultivation World and the Immortal World is truly too vast. Even though the Xuanhuang World has now devoured countless Immortal Cultivation Worlds, it has only expanded its territory a bit. It’s still far from eting the requirents to elevate to an Immortal World."
"Perhaps..."
"Only if it becos a hundred tis larger than it currently is, then there might be a slight chance of ascending to an Immortal World."
"Even then, it might not be deserving of the word [Immortal Realm]. Perhaps describing it as an [Immortal Domain] would be more appropriate,"
Li Fan couldn’t help but speculate.
It must be stated that all of the above are just so conjectures made by Li Fan based on snippets ntioned in the "Sky nding Record" about the [Immortal Realm].
As for what the truth is...
Even the author of the Sky nding Record, the Celestial Doctor, has never witnessed the Immortal World firsthand.
To verify it is simply beyond discussion.
However, based on Li Fan’s understanding of the Celestial Doctor, this person is very rigorous in his studies. If it were just pure speculation without substantial evidence to support it, he would not have written it lightly in his book.
"The Respectful Ones of the Heavenly Law Realm enforce the laws on behalf of Heaven, perhaps they hold so secrets from before the path to immortality was severed,"
Observing this world upgrade also brought so inspiration to Li Fan.
Regarding his reflections on the fundantal operation of the world, and the ultimate techniques that suit him best.
Li Fan is not one to rise early for nothing.
Although he ca across quite a lot of techniques in the cycle of reincarnation, he still felt that only the Immortal Formula derived from the Mountain Sitting Technique was most suitable for him.
However, at the level of cultivation Li Fan now possesses, he needs to face the likes of the Celestial Doctor, Ruo Mu, Elder Stone Plate, and other old monsters.
re cultivation of techniques can hardly help him anymore.
If he is fundantally behind others in his practice of the great laws of cultivation, how could he contend with them?
Guidance from the Celestial Doctor once again surfaced in Li Fan’s spirit consciousness.
"Rember, the techniques are secondary. What’s truly important is contemplation of the operation of Heaven’s Dao and the essence of the world,"
"Even the strongest of techniques are eventually soone else’s. Only that which truly suits oneself is the most perfect technique,"
Li Fan’s eyes flickered, his gaze becoming distant.
Sky nding Record, Immortal Formula, world upgrade...
His spirit consciousness was like a violent storm rising, past experiences and enlightennts all thrown into it.
After an ordeal similar to refinent in the furnace, it finally exploded with a bang!
In Li Fan’s spirit consciousness, it ford three big characters!
Heavenly Immortal Technique!
