第九百五十六章 千界残幽魂

Yin Shangren looked a bit reluctant as he glanced at the rib bone, then his eyes turned firm. He threw it towards Li Fan.

Li Fan caught the rib bone, and the rain sounds in his ears suddenly became more intense. Suddenly, everything seemed to reach some critical point, and all sounds vanished completely. In the absolute silence, a light emerged from Yin Shangren's body. The light shone through like cutting open a space rift. Li Fan squinted his eyes trying to see what was inside the white light. He could only make out several shadowy figures floating in mid-air around Yin Shangren, without any clear features or heights.

These figures seemed to be staring at Yin Shangren, urging him on. The light grew increasingly blinding until it completely obscured Li Fan's vision. When the white light faded away, Yin Shangren was nowhere to be seen.

Li Fan pondered for a moment before heading down into Yin Yin Island's underground secret chamber. He found that all the corpses originally placed there had also vanished.

This time, Yin Shangren did not choose self-immolation. Li Fan's brief words attracted his attention and prevented him from going to extremes of self-destruction. Instead...

"Returning?"

The scene in the white light somehow reminded Li Fan of this word.

"Revive Rain..."

Yin Shangren was everywhere strange. The rain of countless corpses that fell from the sky, Li Fan had once investigated records about it. But apart from Yin Shangren's side, there were no traces left behind.

"Not eerie, but full of eerie."

"Even if he is only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, I would find it hard to kill him without using the 'Disorder' technique."

Li Fan recalled their encounter and frowned deeply.

"Could it be..."

A guess suddenly surfaced in Li Fan's mind. The "Supplement Heaven Record" detailed how the world's Dao operated.

The book mentioned that just as cultivators could absorb Spirit Qi for cultivation, the world itself could also devour other worlds to grow stronger. This was called the world's 'Feeding'.

But like leftover food after a meal, the world would leave behind things it couldn't digest. These were remnants of old worlds, either incompatible with the current world or detrimental to its growth.

These "ghosts" from old worlds could not integrate into new ones and existed in limbo.

"Ghosts" were different from eerie phenomena.

Eerie phenomena resulted from the fusion between worlds, still considered part of the original world. Over time, they gradually integrated into the new one. After a long enough period, even eerie phenomena might fully merge with the original world.

But "ghosts"...

Were completely abandoned by the heavens and earth. Even if the world were to end, it would never return to them.

Considering the scene of those ghostly figures, Li Fan thought deeply: "Could this be the collection of ghosts left behind after the Yellow-Black World devoured many other cultivation worlds?"

"The ghosts from old worlds did not want to exist in limbo. They also wished for a chance to rise again."

"But as a defeated party, they could only do some small tricks in secret. Perhaps Yin Shangren was chosen by these ghosts due to an accident years ago."

"Which is why ordinary means couldn't kill him, but the 'Disorder' technique did..."

"Because he was like broken world rules."

Li Fan continued analyzing based on the "Supplement Heaven Record".

"Due to some reason, Yin Shangren still retained traces of the Yellow-Black World. His transformation was incomplete, making him half human and half ghost. But just now, he fully embraced the ghosts."

"Yes... as a being at the same level as the Yellow-Black Dao, he indeed had the ability to see many secrets."

Yin Shangren's actions no longer surprised Li Fan.

Even Yin Shangren's obsession with Bai Shengren might have been influenced by world ghosts in the background.

"Hmph. Such insignificant beings are not worth fearing."

Li Fan coldly snorted but did not take them seriously. These ghosts could only pose a threat to the Yellow-Black World when it was severely damaged and close to destruction, allowing them a chance to seize control.

But even then, their victory would be temporary as they would eventually face the same fate of dissolution.

In essence, these ghosts were like viruses that only erupted in their final moments. By the time they did, everything would already be meaningless.

"Only Yin Shangren is somewhat regrettable. His wisdom surpassed mine. I had hoped he could help me derive the Primordial Golden Core technique."

Li Fan shook his head slightly and looked at the island. He instantly destroyed all the monsters Yin Shangren had cultivated on the island. The underground chamber's treasures were preserved in the Five Elements Heavenly Cavern.

The only survivor was a strange dog that used human hands as feet, with eyes covering its abdomen. This creature's senses were sharp; it immediately ran to Li Fan when he had the idea of killing it and licked his hand in an attempt to please him.

Li Fan smiled and spared the dog's life before incorporating it into the Five Elements Heavenly Cavern.

On his way back from Yin Yin Island, Li Fan reflected on his gains. "Bai Shengren is undoubtedly a dual ancient-new method heaven master of the Yellow-Black World."

"Perhaps even a reincarnation of the former Yellow Heaven King..."

"This explains why Emperor San Mo placed him in the center of the Museum of Divine Treasures and why his skull's eternal legacy had such an attraction on the 'True Real'."

"The eternal legacy must contain Bai Shengren's pre-life obsessions. I wonder what his obsession was?"

"Could it be saving the Yellow-Black World?"

Li Fan couldn't help but think so.

Now that he knew the true value of the skull, Li Fan began planning how to obtain Bai Shengren's cranium.

"The eternal legacy cannot enter 'True Real', only absorbed on the spot."

"But I don’t need to take away Bai Shengren's head. The goal is just the eternal legacy attached to his skull..."

"Simply get close to the skull and let 'True Real' absorb it."

"Naturally, this process must not disturb Emperor San Mo..."

"The best would be to find a reason to have him leave the Museum of Divine Treasures..."

After much thought, he returned to plotting with Mo Ru Bin.

"I imagine Emperor San Mo should give some face to the transmitters."

Li Fan subtly sensed that the number of cultivators practicing "Divine Presence" had reached an impressive level. It was now a headache for the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance. He suspected Mo Ru Bin already knew about this.

By sensing his followers' experiences, Li Fan found several different factions within the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance's investigation team.

"It seems it’s time to proactively contact them."

Li Fan narrowed his eyes and sent commands through his divine demon thoughts, influencing his followers' minds.

Returning to the Spirit Wood World, Li Fan waited for developments while studying the "Supplement Heaven Record" again.

"The 'Supplement Heaven Record' is indeed profound."

"If it were not for this master's guidance, I would have been unable to uncover Yin Shangren’s origins. The entire Yellow-Black World might not know about world ghosts."

"This highlights the importance of having a master guide one's path."

Revisiting the "Supplement Heaven Record," Li Fan had new insights.

It truly was a constant source of enlightenment.
