“Biological Age: 882/899.”

Working tirelessly, Li Fan glanced at the Anchor Point panel.

The consecutive selfless efforts were not without cost.

When Li Fan emerged from the state of complete immersion, akin to enlightenment, in the formation process.

An uncontrollable sense of weakness surged up.

Under extreme pressure, his biological age increased rapidly.

Now, Li Fan truly reached the end of his life.

“It’s time to rest.”

This thought involuntarily popped into his mind.

But immediately, he regarded it as the main material for the Reverse Training Dao Heart.

Suppressing all slackness and exhaustion.

“If I don’t push myself harder, how can I seek transcendence in this extremely dangerous cultivation world?”

Li Fan said to himself inwardly, then rallied his spirits, forcing his aging self to burn the last moments of his life, once again engaging in the formation work.

The expressions and reactions of Yan Hang and others below were all within Li Fan’s expectations.

In fact, they didn’t need to report to him.

When Li Fan applied to cross-regional work with the Recording Tablet just now, he had already explained his current physical condition to Qi Buyi.

After Qi Buyi’s unsuccessful persuasion, he readily agreed to Li Fan’s request.

“Theoretically, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance should extend my lifespan. But nothing is absolute, I also need to prepare for the unexpected moves of the Alliance.”

“Fortunately, I have contributed enough, and there is still a Longevity Fruit left. When necessary, whether to buy or exchange, I can also find some life-extending items. Striving for a bit more time in this world.”

...

After Yan Hang and the others submitted their report, it seemed to sink without a trace, without any ripples.

While the Five-Person Group was puzzled and disappointed, Li Fan himself seemed unaffected, earning their increasing admiration.

So, amidst the calmness, another half year passed.

On this day, the serene Water Subworld suddenly underwent a drastic change.

The azure water world unexpectedly trembled violently without warning.

Caught off guard, Li Fan’s formation process was forcibly interrupted.

Subconsciously wanting to observe what was happening around, but feeling like the whole world was spinning, dizzy and unable to do so.

Fortunately, Yan Hang and the others reacted very quickly.

Thus, combat became inevitable.

Although the bodies of these monsters resembled withered wood, their texture was unexpectedly hard.

Even the full force of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator’s attack could only leave superficial wounds on them.

Fortunately, their method of combat was rather crude, and their numbers were relatively scarce.

The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance usually operated in groups of several people, engaging in collective actions.

Relying on numerical superiority and excellent equipment to suppress them.

By expending some time, they could eliminate the monsters without much danger.

After each battle, Yan Hang and the others would meticulously report the process through the Recording Tablet.

After collecting numerous data, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance also compiled the tactics for fighting these monsters and distributed them to every cultivator.

In various Subworlds, due to the different attributes involved in the fusion, different types of monsters appeared.

The type of monster encountered by Li Fan and his group, where wood and water were merged with wood dominating, was named “Decaying Wood”.

There were two most effective methods to deal with Decaying Wood.

One was fire-attributed techniques. Under the scorching flames, burning wood and boiling water would turn Decaying Wood into flying ashes.

The second was separation-type techniques.

Completely separate the flowing blue water from the body of Decaying Wood.

Decaying Wood would then collapse on its own, transforming from a terrifying and ferocious monster into pure wood and water energy in the blink of an eye.

The separation technique was not only useful against Decaying Wood but also remarkably effective when dealing with monsters of other merged attributes.

Unfortunately, it was too obscure, and only a few cultivators mastered it.

So, everyone had to rely on conventional techniques of various attributes to cope.

With the summarized battle strategies, the cultivators became more adept at dealing with the monsters generated in the Subworlds.

However, most cultivators still remained anxious.

On this day, another batch of withered wood debris fell, transforming into monsters resembling both humans and beasts, attacking Li Fan and his group.

Quickly, the Yan Hang Five-Person Group rushed to meet them.

While Li Fan set up formations, he observed the battle between the two sides.

“Compared to the initial encounters, these Decaying Woods have indeed made significant progress in their combat methods and techniques.”

“These individuals separated from the inverted tree seem to possess a collective consciousness.”

Watching the intense battle not far away, Li Fan couldn’t help but feel a sense of astonishment.

“This is just a fusion of wood and water attributes. If another one or even several more attributes are added, wouldn’t the monsters become even more formidable?”
