第一千零九章 源力升万物

After paying respects to the statue of the Faceless True Immortal, the relationship between them seemed to have grown closer.

"Craftsman Daoist Friend, you've painstakingly established the Spirit Essence Sect to gather source energy. What's its purpose? Frankly speaking, I only took over the sect because it allowed multiple practitioners to share a single technique for convenience. As for how to extract and utilize the source energy, I have no idea at all!"

With a friendly smile, Li Fan guided Craftsman Daoist through the Spirit Wood Realm where blood puppet automatons were used for automatic cultivation of the Worldly Spirit Essence Technique.

"Having a separate small world as a base is quite convenient. When I was in the Spirit Essence Sect, I couldn't be so bold to place these flesh puppet automatons on the square. I had to hide them; otherwise, it would cause unrest among the practitioners," Craftsman Daoist said with envy during their tour.

He then explained: "Apart from creating Celestial Oracle Puppets, most of the source energy should have been stored for future use."

"Theoretically speaking, purified willpower can be used by every cultivator to rapidly enhance their cultivation. I wonder if you've heard about the legendary tales where a sect bestows rewards upon its disciples, who then achieve enlightenment and ascend through multiple realms in one fell swoop? That's the power of source energy," Craftsman Daoist said with a shake of his head.

"In this Xuanhuang Realm..." he tasted his lips. "This place is indeed unsuitable for cultivators. Not only are the resources required to break through each realm much greater, but the Heavenly Tribulation bottleneck is far more stringent than in other realms," Li Fan agreed.

"Unfortunately, it's too late to choose otherwise." Craftsman Daoist sighed.

"But these restrictions apply only to cultivators; simple creations like Celestial Oracle Puppets are not subject to them. This might be why the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance always demands a large portion of source energy as a fee," he added with a knowing smile.

"You mean... the Heaven's Mirror?" Li Fan realized immediately.

"Not just that. The Heaven's Mirror is undoubtedly an artifact-level existence. Source energy is practically useless to it, but any non-artifacttreasurecan be enhanced by absorbing source energy within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance," Craftsman Daoist said with a smile.

"Then there are such benefits." Li Fan observed his End Times Separation Disc in hissea of consciousness, pondering deeply.

With Craftsman Daoist's help, a Celestial Oracle Fortress was constructed beside the blood puppet automatons' square. It resembled a round ball with two rotating metal rings around it.

After Craftsman Daoist completed the inscriptions on these metal rings, Li Fan felt the source energy that had previously overflowed into his clone Li Qing's body now converging towards the Celestial Oracle Fortress. The trickle of golden essence transformed into streams, droplets falling and storing inside the ball.

Upon closer inspection, Li Fan noticed that this source energy was clearly less refined than what was formed by the Faceless True Immortal Stone—essence known as Dao Blossoms.

"Finally done. It seems the weaker restrictions in the small world make it easier to guide the source energy compared to Xuanhuang Realm," Craftsman Daoist said, wiping his forehead with satisfaction.

"This is called a Celestial Oracle Fortress. Besides guiding the source energy, should it also have defensive capabilities?" Li Fan asked bluntly.

Craftsman Daoist did not hide: "Indeed. Because of limited resources in our Celestial Oracle Realm, we often strive for the ultimate integration of functions when developing creations."

With a gentle tap on the nearby ball, a flash of light appeared, and the newly constructed building vanished before Li Fan's eyes.

"Interesting... It can't be detected by either naked eye or divine sense. Only by flying forward and touching it can one feel its existence," Craftsman Daoist said proudly.

Next, Craftsman Daoist demonstrated the offensive and mobile forms of the Celestial Oracle Fortress.

It indeed lived up to its name.

Li Fan was pleased. "The only regret is that source energy is hard to come by; I have to extract it from each practitioner who cultivates the Worldly Spirit Essence Technique."

"I can't achieve a self-sustaining cycle like the Ancestors do."

"When fleeing, I couldn't bring out the core components of the Ancestor. Perhaps I'll never have the chance to solve this mystery," Craftsman Daoist said with regret as he looked at the Celestial Oracle Fortress.

"Haha, there will be opportunities." Li Fan smiled.

Craftsman Daoist did not take his words seriously.

After explaining everything, Craftsman Daoist willingly handed over the highest privileges of the Celestial Oracle Fortress to Li Fan.

A sudden thought struck Li Fan. The amount of source energy stored in the fortress, how long various functions could be used, and detailed information about its surroundings... all appeared instantly in his mind.

It gave him a strange feeling.

With increased output power from the fortress, covering the entire Spirit Wood Realm, it entered a constant state of concealment.

This way, very little source energy could be stored. It was almost like spending more than earning.

But Li Fan did not worry and instructed his clone Li Qing to intensify cultivation in the Worldly Spirit Essence Technique across all small worlds.

As the technique spread further, the quantity and quality of source energy would undoubtedly improve significantly.

With this matter progressing smoothly, Li Fan put Craftsman Daoist to good use. He summoned Tianyang and had Craftsman Daoist examine him.

"My younger brother, due to his physical body's limitations, couldn't break through higher realms. So he chose an alternate path, transforming himself into a puppet and absorbing the power of a thousand years of earthfire to become a spirit god."

"Although I helped him consume the Heavenly Soul later, this might be his limit."

"Tianyang has been by my side for many years, loyal and devoted. I can't bear to see him stop here..."

"Do you think there's any way we could help Tianyang advance further?" Li Fan asked seriously.
