"Misthaven Ocean once part of, or rather it seems, a fragment belonging to the Ruins of Heavenly Law Realm with a whiff of the same essence..."
Once, Li Fan used the Ocean Pearl Foundation Establishment, his consciousness merging with Misthaven Ocean.
In this life, the Saint Emperor's Avatar directly devoured the residual consciousness of Misthaven Ocean, one could say Li Fan was extremely familiar with the Land of Agglomerated Clouds.
Therefore, even though this fragment of the world had long been desolate and enveloped in Death Silence.
Li Fan merely stood there for a moment but still felt that hint of familiarity emanate from it.
A sudden realization dawned upon Li Fan, "Perhaps the Celestial Dharma Bearer intervened, repairing it, and this being its homeland was the reason."
Wandering through the Ruins of Heavenly Law Realm, though thousands of years had passed, the terrifying traces of the world's destruction were still clearly visible.
The land had no intact buildings left, just scattered fragments of broken walls and ruins. Occasionally, one could spot bones of Cultivators; by their postures, it seemed they hadn't died fighting against others.
"It appears the catastrophe struck quite suddenly, not even leaving them time to struggle."
Although Li Fan had used various methods to annihilate Xuanhuang World, after every destruction, Li Fan had always returned to Dissociative Mountain Peak, having witnessed worlds extinct but a few times.
A oppressive feeling surged unbidden into the Sacred Embryo Li Fan's heart.
It wasn't that his state of mind was shaken, but rather, Living Beings, in such environments, instinctively react.
This fragment of the world wasn't very large; soon, Li Fan had searched it thoroughly, finding no valuable clues.
"However, compared to others, this fragment of the residual realm is relatively well-preserved. Currently the Celestial Dharma Bearer merely worries about The Ruined World The Wall's state of balance and hasn't acted. It seems, not long from now, He will probably take it away."

"This place is not suitable to linger."
Li Fan decisively became a streak of flowing light and quietly left the area.
After some thought, he did not directly return to the outskirts of the Mystic Immortal Boat, but instead, decided to reside in hiding within The Ruined World The Wall.
For one, because there was already an expression of his consciousness lurking within the Mystic Immortal Boat, manipulating Zhao Xian, and the current situation did not require his intervention.
Secondly, because...
"The limits of the laws here are somewhat higher."
"Is it because it's close to The High Wall or because of the remnants of a thousand realms?"
"Disregarding environmental factors, this could actually be a great place for Enlightenment Cultivation."
The Sacred Embryo Li Fan, with his Xuanhuang Swordsmanship achievement in Tao Foundation and Cave Heaven, was particularly sensitive to the laws.
If the mostly intact Xuanhuang World is a low-point in the law limits of the Abyss Star Ocean, then here, The Ruined World of Longevity, represents the highest peak in the entire Star Sea.
Although influenced by the Echoing Star Power, making the rhyme of laws difficult to grasp, and inherently fragmented and chaotic.
Yet if one could grasp those fleeting opportunities for enlightenment, it might surpass hundreds of years of arduous cultivation in a single epiphany.
"Mortal Realm's supreme principles, brutally shattered into fragments by the force of True Immortal Seal Characters from Immortal Realm, scattered across the Star Sea."
"For such a survivor as myself, it turns out it's easier to sense and comprehend. Under normal circumstances..."
The Sacred Embryo Li Fan's mind suddenly recalled scenes of Xuanhuang World during the Ancient Times of the last 119 cycles, and glimpses of interaction with other Immortal Cultivation Worlds.
"Back then, when multiple realms still existed, all was orderly and organized. Cultivators couldn't even think of comprehending those abyssal principles, let alone touch them. Those fortunate through coincidences to encounter these opportunities, likely headed towards an auspicious Immortal path."
The train of thought in the Sacred Embryo Li Fan slowly flowed, filled with numerous enlightenments.
Worrying that Sword Light might attract the presence of Celestial Dharma Bearer and Celestial Doctor potentially in The Ruined World The Wall, despite thousands of inspirations, Li Fan did not execute any strokes.
He merely simulated them in his Spirit Consciousness.
Even so, he was still overwhelmed with joy.
A thought also unavoidably emerged, "Having stayed here all these years, it seems the Cultivation of Celestial Dharma Bearer and Celestial Doctor must have peaked at this mundane zenith."
He had suspected as much during his journey through the Star Sea.
Now he was utterly certain of this guess.
Regarding the talent of Celestial Dharma Bearer and Celestial Doctor, Li Fan had no doubt.
Their capacity for comprehending the supreme laws of the Star Sea was definitely no less than that of the Sacred Embryo.
However, compared to before, the anxiety in Li Fan's heart had dissipated.
"Indeed, they reached the limit of the Abyss Star Sea, but that's as far as they went. The path to becoming an Immortal is severed...no hope of ascension..."
A faint gleam flashed in Li Fan's eyes.
People believe the Celestial Dharma Bearer to be unmatched because they are unclear about His actual Cultivation Realm.
Because of the unknown, they fear and wander lost.
Although Li Fan had previously guessed, Below True Immortal, at the pinnacle of the mundane.
But how exactly this peak differed from the Immortal Realm, Li Fan could not precisely quantify or perceive.
However, now at the foot of The High Wall, having personally experienced the existence of the upper limit of power in this Abyss Star Sea, all of Li Fan's doubts were dispelled.
Having a target made it all the more convenient to pursue.
Li Fan also felt extremely fortunate that, after thousands of years, Celestial Dharma Bearer and Celestial Doctor had remained in this realm because the upper limit of the Star Sea was precisely this.
It equated to their Cultivation being stalled for a long time, indirectly giving Li Fan time to catch up.
"Moreover, with a True Immortal from Immortal Ruins present, even if they find a way to break through the mundane realm, for the sake of Xuanhuang World's safety, they would have to weigh the consequences."
"The tortoise wins the race against the hare."
Sacred Embryo Li Fan cast aside all distracting thoughts and peacefully began to comprehend the supreme principles of Star Sea that floated around him.
...
In the Xuanhuang World.
After a period of cultivation, Wang Xuanba had successfully bred a sufficient number of those Dao First Worms designated by the Emperor.
"The Heaven and Earth Spirit Trees all have their own effects. My little bugs have another marvelous feature, after they devour a tree, the Spirit Tree does not directly die. Instead, it gradually transforms into a worm-infested Spirit Tree. The original consciousness can freely choose to retain or discard itself, or even merge with other consciousnesses in the Dao First Worm Swarm, achieving a kind of doppelganger existence," Wang Xuanba boasted to Ou Shangtian with a sense of pride.
"Alas, I still find the path of the Exotic Beasts more intriguing and varied; these Array Techniques are truly dull," Ou Shangtian remarked, envy flashing in his eyes.
Wang Xuanba chuckled, somewhat gloating: "That's what you get, my young friend, for always aiming too high and wanting to learn everything you see, drawing the Master's displeasure."
"Indeed, I am not allowed to be distracted until I reach the level of Array Path proficiency that Master demands. Ah, it seems so far off," Ou Shangtian sighed.
"By the way, Master mentioned before that he wanted to use me as bait to lure out a hidden master in the Xuanhuang World. That person is not weak, if my learning of Array Techniques is not sharp enough, there may still be a risk to my life. I wonder if it's true," Ou Shangtian said somewhat casually.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xuanba's expression changed: "Junior brother, do not speak recklessly! Since Master has said so, it must be true. You've also met Senior Xu Ke before, we should not underestimate the hidden masters in the Xuanhuang World. You must take it seriously!"
Ou Shangtian nodded in agreement on the surface, but inwardly he still held some skepticism.
He had met that Xu Ke too. Just a senile old man nearing his end.
Though admittedly much stronger than Ou himself, with the Colored Jade Hollow Glare within him, if he wanted to flee, Xu Ke couldn't stop him!

"I really want to see just how 'high-level' this expert Master speaks of is!"
Underneath the Holy Emperor's Saint Emperor Seat, within the Imperial Treasure Vault.
Li Ping glanced briefly in the direction where Ou Shangtian and Wang Xuanba were, then shook his head.
He was naturally aware of Ou Shangtian's thoughts.
Youthful arrogance, coupled with many Divine Objects at hand, it was understandable.
"However, if he does not diligently study Array Techniques and relies solely on the Seven-Color Divine Light to escape from the grasp of the Stone Tablet, it will be somewhat difficult."
Smiling to himself, Li Ping had no plans to remind him again.
A little setback wouldn't hurt; the Stone Tablet wouldn't rashly strike to kill.
Once the Stone Tablet appeared, Li Ping himself would intervene to handle it.
Putting away the Stone Tablet would come after dealing with Ruo Mu; for now, Li Ping set this matter aside and reached out to touch the orange kitten lounging on his shoulder.
Compared to before, Kitty Treasure had grown larger.
Its fur had become denser and silkier.
What interested the Emperor even more was Kitty Treasure's second transformation.
Previously, Kitty Treasure could turn into a Square Small Box, from which it could emit light and replicate the objects it enveloped.
At present, the limits of this ability were unclear; at least a World Artifact made from the Refining of One Realm's energy was no problem for Kitty Treasure to replicate, albeit with a bit of overexertion.
Not long ago, when Wang Xuanba brought the Dao First Worms that had devoured the Spirit Tree to report to the Emperor, Li Ping felt Kitty Treasure's thoughts being actively conveyed for the first time.
After Wang Xuanba left, Li Ping proceeded with the experiment.
He placed a swarm of about ten thousand Dao First Worms in front of Kitty Treasure.
At first, Kitty Treasure appeared somewhat apprehensive, observing from a distance. Yet in its eyes showed longing.
Advancing two steps and retreating one, Kitty Treasure slowly approached the worm swarm.
The Dao First Worms, usually very sensitive to foreign objects, showed no reaction to Kitty Treasure's proximity.
Finally reaching the swarm, Kitty Treasure emitted a faint blue light, and under Li Ping's gaze, it transformed into a Blue Light Sphere.
It enveloped the Dao First Worms.
The insects inside the Blue Light Sphere seemed to become instantly frozen and fell into stillness.
On the surface of the sphere, various structural views of the Dao First Worms' bodies flashed by.
Li Ping's expression turned grave.
The light sphere did not last long, as this form seemed to drain a great deal of energy.
Before long, Kitty Treasure returned to its original kitten form, returning to Li Fan's side.
It lazily lay down on Li Ping's shoulder.
The previously motionless Dao First Worms were once again on the move.
He was completely unaware of the odd things happening to him from start to finish.
"It's not that the Dao Yi Bug's spirit wisdom is too low, I'm afraid if it took the form of a cultivator within the Xuanhuang World, the outcome wouldn't be any better."
"This Kitty Treasure's blue light..."
It was a mysterious and as yet unknown force that Li Ping had never encountered before.
With a thought, he patted the Kitty Treasure.
The little orange cat was somewhat reluctant, but considering the long time Li Ping had fed it the essence of Golden Source Energy, it rallied its spirits.
As the blue light enveloped its body, it shattered in an instant.
Moments later, the Kitty Treasure had transformed into a swarm of Dao Yi Bugs!
They were identical to the ones covered by the blue light sphere not far away in the space!
Li Ping witnessed the entire transformation right before his eyes, but he still couldn't find any discernible difference between the two.
"It's not a transformation artistry but a complete change in the form of life. That's why no distinction can be perceived."
Even though he prided himself as the Heavenly Emperor, a God Transformation of the Xuanhuang World, at this moment Li Ping couldn't help but express his honest admiration for such an unbelievable technique.
"Moreover, the change isn't limited to the replication of the original body. It can also evolve entirely according to the characteristics of the replicated entity."
Li Ping seemed to understand, and a speck of gold light emerged on his fingertip again.
Aware of what Li Ping meant, the swarm of Dao Yi Bugs transformed by the Kitty Treasure suddenly expanded—visibly changing from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, multiplying the number of bugs tenfold in an instant.
The swarm of Dao Yi Bugs that the Kitty Treasure turned into returned proudly to Li Ping's side.
After getting permission, amidst the shattering blue light, it morphed back into the form of an orange cat.
Happily, it swallowed down the essence of Source Energy.
"This is actually a form of replication, but it replicates living beings, and it can even realize changes within the Kitty Treasure itself."
"This kind of technique..."
Li Ping fell silent.
In his memory, probably only treasures from the Immortal World could achieve this.
But on this Kitty Treasure's body, he couldn't feel the slightest trace of Immortal Spirit Energy.
"Beyond the High Wall..."
An undeniable fact was now crystal clear.
"It's just unknown at what level of treasure this Kitty Treasure from outside the High Wall is."
Li Ping's heart was steadfast, and he wasn't swayed by the potential gap that might exist between the inside and outside of the High Wall.
"Item replication, mimicry of living beings... I wonder if the Kitty Treasure has any other functions?"
He wanted to find out from the little orange cat, but the Kitty Treasure itself knew little about its own abilities.
It would only automatically learn when triggered by the right conditions.
"And it's not that the Kitty Treasure is willing to replicate and mimic just any creature."
"I've tried with some common Exotic Beasts, but it had no reaction to them. Only with extraordinary existences like the Dao Yi Bugs does it show interest."
Li Ping gently stroked the Supreme Treasure from outside the High Wall, with numerous potential uses for it flashing through his spirit consciousness.
"This Kitty Treasure, though it doesn't have any offensive capabilities, is much more valuable than a mere destructive treasure."
As if sensing Li Ping's thoughts, the little orange cat let out a proud meow.
Seven days later, Wang Xuanba arrived in the Xuanhuang World carrying a wooden box.
Standing on the ground, Wang Xuanba closed his eyes, sensing the flow of the power of ley lines deep underground.
"First, I'll offer you a little appetizer. The main course is yet to come."
Wang Xuanba's face broke into a smile, turning into a shadow and diving into the earth's depths.
In an instant, he had reached the very depths below.
The rushing power of ley lines formed a barrier, preventing him from approaching.
He even faintly perceived a thread of consciousness sweeping over. In an instant, he had reached the very depths below.
