gāi xiū xíng nǎ mén gōng fǎ ne ？
该修行哪门功法呢？
Which cultivation technique should he choose?
lǐ fán yī shí jiān yǒu xiē yóu yí bù dìng 。
李凡一时间有些犹疑不定。
Li Fan was momentarily uncertain.
zhè xiē dí què dōu shì zhēn zhèng de xiān jiā gōng fǎ bù cuò ， dàn ……
这些的确都是真正的仙家功法不错，但……
Indeed, these were all genuine Immortal Techniques, but...
lǐ fán yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī yīn mái 。
李凡眼中闪过一丝阴霾。
A hint of gloom flashed in Li Fan's eyes.
zài tā suǒ jīng lì de zhào shī jiě dì yī cì huàn jìng zhōng ， céng jīng xiū liàn guò 《 tiān dì jiāo zhēng fù 》 yǔ 《 duàn hún zhào shén gōng 》 zhè liǎng mén gōng fǎ 。
在他所经历的赵师姐第一次幻境中，曾经修炼过《天地交征赋》与《断魂照神功》这两门功法。
In his first experience with the Oath Sister Zhao’s illusionary realm, he had practiced two techniques: "Heaven and Earth Clash Assignment" and "Soul-Disintegrating Divine Insight."
chú le gōng fǎ běn shēn de tè xìng zhī wài ， tā men hái yǒu yí gè jí tè shū de gòng tōng diǎn 。
除了功法本身的特性之外，它们还有一个极特殊的共通点。
Apart from their inherent characteristics, they shared a very special commonality. Once mastered, these techniques could not be abandoned or revoked.
nà jiù shì yí dàn xiū xíng zhī hòu ， jiù zài yě wú fǎ fèi chú 。
那就是一旦修行之后，就再也无法废除。
Even using the Supreme Sect's secret methods, such as the Supreme Primordial True Scripture, was no exception.
shèn zhì yòng tài shàng zōng mì fǎ ， tài shàng yuán shǐ zhēn jīng yì shì rú cǐ 。
甚至用太上宗秘法，太上原始真经亦是如此。
Moreover, there was an even more致命的 one.
ér qiě ， hái yǒu gèng zhì mìng de yì diǎn 。
而且，还有更致命的一点。
All techniques of the Xuan Heavenly Sect seemed to have some unique mark. True cultivators, regardless of how they tried to conceal themselves, could be easily identified by those who knew.
suǒ yǒu de xuán tiān jiào gōng fǎ ， sì hū dōu yǒu zhǒng tè bié de yìn jì 。 zhēn zhèng de qiáng zhě ， wú lùn rú hé yǐn cáng ， zhī qíng zhě yě kě yī yǎn fēn biàn 。
所有的玄天教功法，似乎都有种特别的印记。真正的强者，无论如何隐藏，知情者也可一眼分辨。
Furthermore, inside the Xuan Heavenly Sect, there was a secret technique called "Seize Heaven and Replace." It not only completely deprived one of their techniques and cultivation but also transferred the realm and strength gained from practicing Xuan Heavenly techniques like grafting onto another person.
shèn zhì ， xuán tiān jiào nèi hái yǒu míng wèi 【 qǔ tiān ér dài 】 de mì fǎ ， bù jǐn kě yǐ wán quán bō duó gōng fǎ 、 xiū wèi ， gèng kě yǐ jiāng xiū xíng xuán tiān jiào gōng fǎ suǒ huò dé jìng jiè 、 shí lì ， yí huā jiē mù bān ， jìn xíng zhuǎn yí 。
甚至，玄天教内还有名为【取天而代】的秘法，不仅可以完全剥夺功法、修为，更可以将修行玄天教功法所获得境界、实力，移花接木般，进行转移。
At that time, he had merely been an ordinary cultivator who accidentally entered an illusionary realm. Oath Sister Zhao didn't need to deliberately alter information about the Xuan Heavenly Sect.
dāng shí tā bù guò shì wù rù huàn jìng de xún cháng xiū shì ， zhào shī jiě méi bì yào kè yì cuàn gǎi guān yú xuán tiān jiào xìn xī 。
当时他不过是误入幻境的寻常修士，赵师姐没必要刻意篡改关于玄天教信息。
Thus, it could be considered genuine.
suǒ yǐ jī běn kě yǐ rèn dìng shì zhēn de 。
所以基本可以认定是真的。
The strange thing was here.
qí guài de dì fāng jiù zài zhè lǐ 。
奇怪的地方就在这里。
From Ji Yuzhen's soul fragments, Li Fan did not find any related memories.
yīn wèi lǐ fán cóng jī yǔ zhēn nà xiē shén hún suì piàn zhōng ， bìng méi yǒu zhǎo dào xiāng guān de jì yì 。
因为李凡从姬予桢那些神魂碎片中，并没有找到相关的记忆。
Combined with the near-perfect character portrayal of the Xuan Heavenly King...
zài jié hé xuán tiān wáng biǎo xiàn chū de nà jìn hū wán měi de rén shè ……
再结合玄天王表现出的那近乎完美的人设……
It made Li Fan shiver with fear.
jiǎn zhí ràng lǐ fán xīn zhōng fā hán 。
简直让李凡心中发寒。
This was also one of the main reasons why he doubted the "good person" identity of the Xuan Heavenly King.
zhè yě shì lǐ fán shǐ zhōng duì xuán tiān wáng “ hǎo rén ” shēn fèn yǒu suǒ huái yí de yī dà yuán yīn 。
这也是李凡始终对玄天王“好人”身份有所怀疑的一大原因。
Of course, this might be because Ji Yuzhen's soul wasn't complete, leading to some memory loss.
dāng rán ， zhè yě kě néng shì ， jī yǔ zhēn de shén hún bìng bù wán zhěng 。 suǒ yǐ jì yì yě yǒu suǒ diū shī dǎo zhì de 。
当然，这也可能是，姬予桢的神魂并不完整。所以记忆也有所丢失导致的。
Regardless, Li Fan had to remain vigilant about these Xuan Heavenly techniques.
dàn wú lùn rú hé ， lǐ fán bì xū duì zhè xiē xuán tiān jiào gōng fǎ bǎo chí jǐng tì 。
但无论如何，李凡必须对这些玄天教功法保持警惕。
After all, it wasn't a solitary copy he personally obtained. It was passed down by the Xuan Heavenly King and then transferred by Oath Sister Zhao.
bì jìng ， zhè kě bú shì tā qīn zì huò dé de gū běn 。 ér shì yóu xuán tiān wáng chuán xià ， zài yóu zhào shī jiě zhuǎn shòu 。
毕竟，这可不是他亲自获得的孤本。而是由玄天王传下，再由赵师姐转授。
Given their cultivation levels, any tampering in the technique would be undetectable to him.
yǐ tā men de xiū wèi jìng jiè ， rú guǒ zài gōng fǎ zhōng zuò xiē shǒu jiǎo ， lǐ fán gēn běn fā xiàn bù liǎo 。
以他们的修为境界，如果在功法中做些手脚，李凡根本发现不了。
"My purpose is merely to make this seem more authentic."
“ wǒ de mù dì ， yě bù guò shì wèi le wěi zhuāng de xiàng yì diǎn bà le 。”
“我的目的，也不过是为了伪装的像一点罢了。”
...
……
……
Li Fan pondered for a moment and immediately had an idea.
lǐ fán sī cǔn piàn kè ， dùn shí yǒu le zhǔ yì 。
李凡思忖片刻，顿时有了主意。
"Perhaps I can use the Derivation Jewel to derive an external feature similar but internally different technique."
“ huò xǔ kě yǐ lì yòng yǎn fǎ jué ， tuī yǎn chū yī mén wài zài tè zhēng xiāng sì 、 ér nèi hé bù tóng de gōng fǎ 。”
“或许可以利用衍法珏，推衍出一门外在特征相似、而内核不同的功法。”
"This might pose some risks, but I could create another avatar using the Holy Blood Fetus Technique to try it out."
“ zhè yàng zuò kě néng yǒu xiē fēng xiǎn 。 dàn kě yǐ yòng shèng xuè huà tāi zhī fǎ ， zài zào yí gè fēn shēn qù cháng shì 。”
“这样做可能有些风险。但可以用圣血化胎之法，再造一个分身去尝试。”
"If it fails, I'll have to take the risk myself."
“ ruò shì shī bài ， zhǐ néng běn zūn mào xiǎn xiū xíng le 。”
“若是失败，只能本尊冒险修行了。”
"But after truly mastering this technique next time, my cultivation can't be retained."
“ bù guò xià yī cì hái zhēn zhī hòu ， xiū wèi jiù bù néng bǎo liú le 。”
“不过下一次还真之后，修为就不能保留了。”
Li Fan's decision seemed a bit excessive, but he knew that dealing with these old monsters from the Xuanhuang World required utmost caution.
lǐ fán de jué zé kàn shì yǒu xiē xiǎo tí dà zuò ， dàn tā shēn zhī ， gēn xuán huáng jiè zhè xiē lǎo guài wù men dòu zhì dòu yǒng ， nà zhēn shì zài zěn me xiǎo xīn yě bù wèi guò 。
李凡的抉择看似有些小题大作，但他深知，跟玄黄界这些老怪物们斗智斗勇，那真是再怎么小心也不为过。
A momentary slip could plant the seeds of ultimate failure.
rú guǒ yí gè shū hū ， hěn yǒu kě néng jiù mái xià le zuì zhōng dǎo zhì shī bài de zhǒng zi 。
如果一个倏忽，很有可能就埋下了最终导致失败的种子。
Of course, regardless, his journey to the Great Dao Sect was bound to yield significant gains.
dāng rán ， wú lùn rú hé cǐ cì dà dào zōng zhī xíng ， shōu huò jué duì shì bù xiǎo de 。
当然，无论如何此次大道宗之行，收获绝对是不小的。
Even if he couldn't freely cultivate now, true Immortal Techniques broadened Li Fan's horizons. He realized that techniques could be so extraordinary.
jí biàn xiàn zài zàn shí wú fǎ fàng kāi xiū xíng ， dàn yī lái zhēn xiān gōng fǎ ， kāi tuò le lǐ fán de yǎn jiè 。 ràng tā zhī dào ， yuán lái gōng fǎ jū rán hái kě yǐ rú cǐ xuán qí 。
即便现在暂时无法放开修行，但一来真仙功法，开拓了李凡的眼界。让他知道，原来功法居然还可以如此玄奇。
Moreover...
èr lái ma ……
二来嘛……
When Li Fan's strength grew in the future and he uncovered the secrets of the Xuan Heavenly Sect, these techniques would truly serve as his cultivation resources.
děng rì hòu lǐ fán shí lì màn màn chéng zhǎng ， jiē kāi xuán tiān jiào yǐn mì de shí hòu 。 nà zhè xiē gōng fǎ jiù kě yǐ zhēn zhèng huà zuò tā xiū xíng de zī liáng 。
等日后李凡实力慢慢成长，揭开玄天教隐秘的时候。那这些功法就可以真正化作他修行的资粮。
Taking a deep breath, he temporarily pushed these techniques to the back of his mind.
shēn xī yì kǒu qì ， jiāng zhè jǐ mén gōng fǎ zàn qiě xiān yā zài nǎo hǎi shēn chù 。
深吸一口气，将这几门功法暂且先压在脑海深处。
Following his plan, Li Fan immediately activated the "Holy Blood Fetus Technique."
lǐ fán àn zhào jì huà ， zhí jiē yùn zhuàn qǐ 【 shèng xuè huà tāi fǎ 】 lái 。
李凡按照计划，直接运转起【圣血化胎法】来。
The required materials were left over from his previous search in the empire. Soon enough, a body extremely similar to Li Fan's appeared before him.
suǒ xū de cái liào tā shàng cì zài dì guó zhōng sōu guā shí dōu yǒu shèng yú ， bù duō shí ， yī jù gēn lǐ fán zhǎng de jí wéi xiāng sì de shēn qū biàn chū xiàn zài tā de miàn qián 。
所需的材料他上次在帝国中搜刮时都有剩余，不多时，一具跟李凡长的极为相似的身躯便出现在他的面前。
Avatar Li Qing had no memory or knowledge of the "Holy Blood Fetus Technique," and her eyes widened with surprise.
fēn shēn lǐ qíng bìng méi yǒu guān yú 【 shèng xuè huà tāi 】 de jì yì ， yǎn zhōng bù yóu lù chū yī sī jīng yì 。
分身李晴并没有关于【圣血化胎】的记忆，眼中不由露出一丝惊异。
Li Fan modified the memories and soul of the Holy Fetus as usual.
lǐ fán zhào lì ， duì shèng tāi de jì yì yǔ shén hún jìn xíng le xiū gǎi 。
李凡照例，对圣胎的记忆与神魂进行了修改。
With prior experience, his actions became more proficient and fluid.
yǒu le zhī qián de jīng yàn ， tā de dòng zuò yù fā shú liàn liú chàng le 。
有了之前的经验，他的动作愈发熟练流畅了。
Soon enough, the Holy Fetus Li Fan opened his eyes.
bù duō shí ， shèng tāi lǐ fán jiù zhēng kāi le yǎn jīng 。
不多时，圣胎李凡就睁开了眼睛。
The greatest weakness of the Holy Blood Fetus Technique was that it only transformed into a mortal body without any cultivation. It required step-by-step retraining.
yuán běn shèng xuè huà tāi zhī fǎ zuì dà de ruò diǎn ， jiù shì suǒ huà shèng tāi zhǐ shì fán rén zhī qū ， bìng méi yǒu rèn hé xiū wèi zài shēn 。
原本圣血化胎之法最大的弱点，就是所化圣胎只是凡人之躯，并没有任何修为在身。
Without Bai Master's extraordinary talent, it would be utterly useless.
xū yào zì jǐ yí bù bù chóng xīn xiū liàn 。
需要自己一步步重新修炼。
But in this world, with the Faceless Stone Statue existing, Li Fan could easily resolve this issue.
rú guǒ méi yǒu bái xiān shēng nà bān jīng shì hài sú de tiān fù ， jiù xiǎn de jí wéi jī lèi 。
如果没有白先生那般惊世骇俗的天赋，就显得极为鸡肋。
Grasping the Holy Fetus, Li Fan flashed to the Faceless Stone Statue’s side.
dàn cǐ shì ， yǒu liǎo wú miàn shí xiàng de cún zài ， zhè yī bì duān lǐ fán kě yǐ qīng yì jiě jué 。
但此世，有了无面石像的存在，这一弊端李凡可以轻易解决。
As usual, countless images flooded his mind like a tidal wave.
zhuā zhù shèng tāi ， lǐ fán yí gè shǎn shēn ， lái dào le wú miàn shí xiàng de gēn qián 。
抓住圣胎，李凡一个闪身，来到了无面石像的跟前。
However, among them, the most intense and sincere was not Su Yuning.
gēn wǎng cháng yī yàng ， wú shù de huà miàn dùn shí rú cháo shuǐ bān yǒng lái 。
跟往常一样，无数的画面顿时如潮水般涌来。
It was transformed into He Zhenghao!
rán ér ， zhè qí zhōng zuì wèi qiáng liè 、 zhēn zhì de ， què bú shì sū yǔ qíng le 。
然而，这其中最为强烈、真挚的，却不是苏语晴了。
"True Immortal of Compassionate Red Dust World! Please bless me with more insights on the Xuan Heavenly Spirit Sealing Array..."
ér shì biàn chéng hé zhèng hào ！
而是变成何正浩！
He Zhenghao prayed fervently. Based on the rapidly flashing images, Li Fan instantly knew what had happened to him recently.
“ hóng chén cí bēi zhēn xiān zài shàng ！ bǎo yòu wǒ néng zài duō xiǎng chū xiē 【 xuán tiān fēng líng 】 zhèn de nèi róng ba ……”
“红尘慈悲真仙在上！保佑我能再多想出些【玄天封灵】阵的内容吧……”
As expected, after using the Faceless Stone Statue to transmit the content of the Xuan Heavenly Spirit Sealing Array into He Zhenghao's mind that day,
hé zhèng hào xīn zhōng bù duàn qí dǎo zhe ， shí fēn qián chéng 。
何正浩心中不断祈祷着，十分虔诚。
In the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's Strategy Hall, He Zhenghao inadvertently proposed various speculations about the Xuan Heavenly Spirit Sealing Array. This immediately garnered significant attention.
gēn jù bù duàn shǎn dòng de huà miàn ， lǐ fán shà shí zhī dào le zuì jìn fā shēng zài tā shēn shàng de shì 。
根据不断闪动的画面，李凡霎时知道了最近发生在他身上的事。
He was treated as a rare genius in array techniques, and his status and treatment changed accordingly.
gēn lǐ fán yù xiǎng zhōng de yī yàng ， dāng rì tā jiè zhù wú miàn shí xiàng ， bǎ xuán tiān fēng líng zhèn de nèi róng chuán shū dào hé zhèng hào nǎo hǎi zhōng zhī hòu 。
跟李凡预想中的一样，当日他借助无面石像，把玄天封灵阵的内容传输到何正浩脑海中之后。
He Zhenghao continuously relayed any flashes of inspiration that came to mind, hoping for higher status.
zài wàn xiān méng cè zhèn táng zǒng bù ， hé zhèng hào bù jīng yì jiān tí chū le guān yú xuán tiān fēng líng zhèn fǎ de zhǒng zhǒng cāi xiǎng zhī hòu ， lì kè yǐn qǐ le jí dà de zhòng shì 。
在万仙盟策阵堂总部，何正浩不经意间提出了关于玄天封灵阵法的种种猜想之后，立刻引起了极大的重视。
However, problems arose.
tā běn rén yě bèi dàng zuò nán dé yī jiàn de zhèn dào tiān cái ， dài yù 、 chǔ jìng dùn shí yǒu suǒ bù tóng 。
他本人也被当做难得一见的阵道天才，待遇、处境顿时有所不同。
While He Zhenghao's talent in array techniques was commendable, the gap between him and creating an Xuan Heavenly Spirit Sealing Array-level technique was still significant.
hé zhèng hào yě bù duàn jiāng nǎo hǎi zhōng bù shí fú xiàn de líng gǎn ， jìn shù jiāo dài 。 yǐ qī huàn lái gèng gāo de dì wèi 。
何正浩也不断将脑海中不时浮现的灵感，尽数交代。以期换来更高的地位。
Even with full knowledge of the complete array structure, he still only had a partial understanding of its true essence.
kě wèn tí yě suí zhī chū xiàn 。
可问题也随之出现。
He Zhenghao had some cunning. He didn't immediately hand over everything but instead occasionally refined it to buy time.
hé zhèng hào de zhèn dào tiān fù shì bù cuò ， dàn jù lí zì xíng tuī yǎn chū 【 xuán tiān fēng líng 】 zhè ge céng jí de zhèn fǎ ， hái shì yǒu zhe hěn dà chā jù de 。
何正浩的阵道天赋是不错，但距离自行推衍出【玄天封灵】这个层级的阵法，还是有着很大差距的。
He hoped to research the Xuan Heavenly Spirit Sealing Array on his own.
shèn zhì jí biàn tā zhī xiǎo le wán zhěng de zhèn tú jié gòu ， duì yú zhèn fǎ zhēn zhèng de ào yì ， yě réng rán yī zhī bàn jiě 、 gǎo bù míng bái 。
甚至即便他知晓了完整的阵图结构，对于阵法真正的奥义，也仍然一知半解、搞不明白。
But as days passed, He Zhenghao's progress was extremely slow and finally realized the vast chasm between him and the Xuan Heavenly Spirit Sealing Array.
hé zhèng hào dào yě yǒu jǐ fēn xīn yǎn ， méi yǒu yī gǔ nǎo jiāng wán quán nèi róng quán bù shàng jiāo 。
何正浩倒也有几分心眼，没有一股脑将完全内容全部上交。
Relying solely on himself, he couldn't fathom the true essence of the array technique.
zhǐ shì shí bù shí wán shàn yī xiē ， jǐn kě néng de tuō yán shí jiān 。
只是时不时完善一些，尽可能的拖延时间。
Thus, he pinned all his hopes on "True Immortal of Compassionate Red Dust World."
xiǎng yào chèn jī píng zì jǐ bǎ xuán tiān fēng líng zhèn zuān yán tòu 。
想要趁机凭自己把玄天封灵阵钻研透。
He appeared to be diligently researching arrays daily but was actually constantly praying in his mind.
dàn suí zhe yī tiān tiān guò qù ， jìn zhǎn shí fēn huǎn màn de hé zhèng hào ， zhōng yú xǐng wù guò lái 。
但随着一天天过去，进展十分缓慢的何正浩，终于醒悟过来。
His devotion surpassed that of any other member of the alliance.
tā gēn zhè 【 xuán tiān fēng líng 】 zhèn zhī jiān de hóng gōu ， tài guǎng tài shēn 。
他跟这【玄天封灵】阵之间的鸿沟，太广太深。
Understanding the situation, Li Fan couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
guāng kào tā zì jǐ ， shì gēn běn bù kě néng zuān yán chū zhèn fǎ zhēn dì de 。
光靠他自己，是根本不可能钻研出阵法真谛的。
However, He Zhenghao was a familiar character. To keep him as a pawn for Mo Rujin's attention, Li Fan wouldn’t let him die.
yú shì tā jiāng wéi yī de xī wàng ， jì tuō le zài 【 hóng chén cí bēi zhēn xiān 】 shēn shàng 。
于是他将唯一的希望，寄托了在【红尘慈悲真仙】身上。
With a mental shift, vast amounts of annotations and discussions about the Xuan Heavenly Spirit Sealing Array poured into He Zhenghao’s mind.
měi tiān kàn shì zài xīn kǔ tuī yǎn zhèn fǎ ， shí zé nǎo hǎi zhōng bù duàn zài chóng fù qí dǎo 。
每天看似在辛苦推衍阵法，实则脑海中不断在重复祈祷。
The data shock was so intense that He Zhenghao almost couldn't bear it and fell asleep.
qián chéng chéng dù ， chāo guò le qí tā suǒ yǒu de lián hé huì chéng yuán 。
虔诚程度，超过了其他所有的联合会成员。
The other believers had nothing noteworthy. The Holy Fetus Li Fan looked at the Faceless God Statue, praying sincerely like the other members of the alliance.
zhuǎn niàn jiān liǎo jiě liǎo shì qíng yuán wěi de lǐ fán ， bù jīn wēi wēi yáo tóu 。
转念间了解了事情原委的李凡，不禁微微摇头。
After some time, Li Fan felt a mysterious connection established through the Faceless God Statue between his main body and the Holy Fetus.
bù guò hé zhèng hào bì jìng shì tā bǐ jiào shú xī de rén wù le ， yǐn qǐ mò rú bīn zhù yì yě hái xū yào tā dàng zuò qí zi ， gù ér lǐ fán yě bú huì jiàn sǐ bú jiàn 。
不过何正浩毕竟是他比较熟悉的人物了，引起墨儒斌注意也还需要他当做棋子，故而李凡也不会见死不见。
Li Fan narrowed his eyes. In the next moment, large amounts of cultivation power were infused into the Holy Fetus's body.
xīn niàn yī dòng ， dà liàng guān yú xuán tiān fēng líng zhèn de zhù jiě 、 lùn shù ， yuán yuán bù jué de chuán shū jìn hé zhèng hào nǎo hǎi zhōng 。
心念一动，大量关于玄天封灵阵的注解、论述，源源不绝的传输进何正浩脑海中。
The mortal body of the Holy Fetus underwent a dramatic transformation in an instant.
shù jù liàng de chōng jī shì rú cǐ jù dà ， yǐ zhì yú hé zhèng hào yī shí yǒu xiē chéng shòu bú zhù 、 hūn chén chén shuì qù 。
数据量的冲击是如此巨大，以致于何正浩一时有些承受不住、昏沉沉睡去。
(End of Chapter)
Which cultivation technique should he choose?
Li Fan was momentarily uncertain.
Indeed, these were all genuine Immortal Techniques, but...
A hint of gloom flashed in Li Fan's eyes.
In his first experience with the Oath Sister Zhao’s illusionary realm, he had practiced two techniques: "Heaven and Earth Clash Assignment" and "Soul-Disintegrating Divine Insight."
Apart from their inherent characteristics, they shared a very special commonality. Once mastered, these techniques could not be abandoned or revoked.
Even using the Supreme Sect's secret methods, such as the Supreme Primordial True Scripture, was no exception.

Understanding the situation, Li Fan couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
However, He Zhenghao was a familiar character. To keep him as a pawn for Mo Rujin's attention, Li Fan wouldn’t let him die.
With a mental shift, vast amounts of annotations and discussions about the Xuan Heavenly Spirit Sealing Array poured into He Zhenghao’s mind.
The data shock was so intense that He Zhenghao almost couldn't bear it and fell asleep.
The other believers had nothing noteworthy. The Holy Fetus Li Fan looked at the Faceless God Statue, praying sincerely like the other members of the alliance.
After some time, Li Fan felt a mysterious connection established through the Faceless God Statue between his main body and the Holy Fetus.
Li Fan narrowed his eyes. In the next moment, large amounts of cultivation power were infused into the Holy Fetus's body.
The mortal body of the Holy Fetus underwent a dramatic transformation in an instant.
