第四百六十八章 世间真万象

"封生宝盒,看来帝国果然是当年御兽宗的传承之地。"

With the protection of his Spiritual God Power, Li Fan finally felt at ease as he began to examine the收获 from this transaction with the empire.

The detailed profiles of numerous exotic beasts and the actual frozen entities within the封生宝盒 were not much use to other cultivators. But for Li Fan, who practiced 熔炉万象功 (Refining Furnace Ten Thousand Phenomena Technique), they constituted a vast treasure trove.

Various extraordinary abilities of these exotic beasts could now be mastered by Li Fan through his Refining Furnace Ten Thousand Phenomena Technique.

"Truly wondrous is the beauty of life!"

"The descriptions in the 天医仙经 (Heavenly Medicine Immortal Scripture) might not even cover all forms of life on this world!"

Li Fan flicked a finger, and all the bookworms within his storage ring were extracted. His divine sense flipped through the books instantly, projecting countless beams of light into the air above the cave.

The transformed Xuan Dao Stone emitted an unprecedented azure glow as Li Fan's eyes narrowed, trying to capture every word and image in his mind.

A flood of information surged, categorized and stored back within the Xuan Dao Stone.

Turning pages with a rustling sound, the images kept changing. After recording several pages, Li Fan felt a slight headache at his temples.

After resting for a short while and taking another悟道丹 (Enlightenment Pill), he resumed "reading."

Over thousands of years, the empire had given birth to countless unique species. Most were not mentioned in the 天医仙经 (Heavenly Medicine Immortal Scripture) or existed within the current Xuanhuang World.

The myriad abilities of these creatures amazed even Li Fan, who was well-versed in such matters.

For instance, there was the智识虫 (Wisdom Worm), which resided in human brains to enhance cognitive functions. There was also the摹兽 (Imitator Beast) that could perfectly disguise itself after devouring another creature's body. And there was the 千灵鸟 (Thousand Spirits Bird), which fed on human emotions...

These and many more left Li Fan with a newfound appreciation.

"Honing the furnace to encompass all phenomena, this is truly what life should be like!"

In his reflections, the pages of the book turned rapidly as the accumulated knowledge from thousands of years was absorbed into Li Fan's mind.

Ten days later, Li Fan exhaled deeply and pressed his forehead gently. He returned the bookworms back into his storage ring, feeling grateful for Tianyang's concerned gaze but waving it off with a dismissive gesture.

After resting for half a day, Li Fan took out another red wooden box. According to information he had seen in the 天玄镜 (Heavenly Profound Mirror), this封生宝盒 was indeed an ancient artifact of the Beast Taming Sect from times long past.

It was said that it was crafted from 万化灵木 (Ten Thousand Transformations Spirit Wood) and could seal living beasts. With time, the Ten Thousand Transformations Spirit Tree had nearly become extinct, making the封生宝盒 a rare find.

"Looks like my hunch was right."

"The familiarity I felt from that robed woman should be from the Qingluan Bird that Xu Ke encountered in the陨仙境 (Fallen Realm of Immortals)."

"I wonder if that crane is still around."

"So, the empire's founder, the first to master Beast Taming Techniques, must have been Xu Ke?"

"Li Chenfeng's memories suggest he has passed away. But things might not be as simple as they seem."

Li Fan pondered.

"Based on current information, only Xu Ke seems to have entered that small world and established this empire's legacy."

"Where did the other members of the Beast Taming Sect go? Lu Ya?"

"Why would Di Sanmo end up at the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, becoming the director of the Museum of Divine Treasures?"

"What is the connection between all these events and Mr. Bai's mission?"

There were too many unanswered questions.

"Perhaps during my next trip to the Fallen Realm of Immortals, I can resolve some of them."

"It won't be long." Li Fan calculated the time in his mind.

He put away the封生宝盒 and took out a beast soul pearl at base level. The empire's generosity greatly exceeded what Li Fan had expected.

Five hundred base cultivators, four hundred ninety golden core cultivators, and nine元婴 (Primordial Core) cultivators would surely cause quite a stir if used wisely.

While this was theoretical power, the actual combat capabilities of current cultivators in the Xuanhuang World were abysmal. Apart from a few who specialized in battle techniques, most ordinary people could barely handle a few offensive spells or defensive techniques.

The beast soul armor's ability to affect divine sense and withstand most magical attacks while moving at incredible speeds was indeed a formidable weapon for these ordinary cultivators.

"Still need to think carefully on how best to utilize it."

Li Fan held the beast soul pearl, imprinting it onto his brow. A blood-red vision flashed before him as he saw a fierce one-eyed leopard charging towards him.

"Hmph!" Li Fan's intent pierced through, aiming at the leopard.

The leopard let out a mournful cry and the illusion vanished instantly. The red liquid from the beast soul pearl dissolved into his body, like it had life, flowing to every part of his limbs.

Li Fan sensed an unusual energy attempting to invade his body, transforming his flesh.

Unlike the纯粹强化 (pure strengthening) provided by his Refining Furnace Ten Thousand Phenomena Technique, the beast soul armor seemed to graft the power of a beast onto human form. While this temporarily enhanced abilities, it also tainted his physical form, making it impure.

"Detouring from the path."

Li Fan shook his head as his hidden inner strength surged forth, expelling the invader almost instantly. The leopard's howl echoed in his ears again, and the red liquid transformed by the beast soul pearl evaporated at Li Fan's command.

"It seems this is only suitable for those who cannot cultivate."

"Or..."

Li Fan's eyes flashed with a hint of curiosity. He thought about Ye Feipeng from his previous life, who had awakened the phoenix bloodline.

"With my own beast bloodline, I naturally wouldn't be afraid of such pollution."

"In this world, Zhengzhao is making a fortune following me. He won't be thinking about that smuggling business anymore."

"Su Xiaomei and others are still within the界外 (outside the world), so without me, they likely wouldn't have had the chance to come here."

Li Fan smiled.

"These little guys will surely play a big role in this world's drama."

With these thoughts, Li Fan rose from his seat, bid farewell to Tianyang, and stealthily made his way to 大离京城 (Great Departure Capital).
