Holy Embryo Li Fan

Biography

Law Derivative Jade mission body

Li Fan created the first explicit Holy Embryo body because approaching the Alliance's Law Derivative Jade was too dangerous for his main body. Holy Blood Embryo Transformation produced a mortal adult almost identical to him, after which he edited its memories and soul and used the Faceless statue to transfer cultivation. The body built Foundation Establishment on the human-grade Unyielding Sword Wonder, formed a sword-method Golden Core, and incorporated a fragment cut from Li Fan's Five Elements Cave Heaven. It reached nominal early Nascent Soul in three days, but remained weaker than an ordinary cultivator of that realm. (Chapters 930–931)

The incarnation spent one thousand Go games cultivating access through Daoist Qianxun, obtained a Derivative Jade token, and diagnosed the intelligent Jade's systemic defect closely enough to repair and influence it. It induced the Jade to derive the Three Disasters and Hundred Tribulations Divine Clarity Method and examined the first-miasma remains in the Museum of Divine Treasure. When an Alliance expert followed after the mission, the Holy Embryo destroyed itself and its Cave Heaven rather than expose Li Fan. The absent ordinary death phenomenon helped the pursuer recognize a clone, but the methods and observations had already returned to the main body. (Chapters 938–944)

World-destruction research body

For research inside the World Destruction space, Li Fan split off a second Holy Embryo and again used the Faceless statue's support to raise it, this time only to Golden Core. The assignment isolated dangerous experimentation from the main body and required no social cover or long cultivation journey. The chapter supplies the creation, target realm, and research purpose, but does not describe an independent personality arc, named foundation treasure, later breakthrough, or battlefield use for this incarnation. (Chapter 1058)

This body is therefore not the survivor of the Law Derivative Jade mission and cannot inherit that body's Nascent Soul entry. Its Golden Core cultivation is a separate row because Holy Blood Embryo Transformation makes a fresh mortal vessel each time. The source also gives no explicit end scene or later state for the World Destruction researcher. The valid conclusion is limited: Li Fan created and raised a disposable Golden Core research body, and its subsequent continuity is not supplied. (Chapter 1058)

Spiritwood defense body

When Spiritwood Realm faced infiltration, Li Fan formed another Holy Embryo identical to himself, raised it to Nascent Soul, and sent it from the secret chamber wearing the Tianyang Battle Puppet. The body detected the crisis, coordinated defenders and evacuees, removed the Faceless statue from exposure, and prepared formations intended to buy information and time. Tianyang was a sentient ally inhabiting the battle construct, not an artifact the Holy Embryo owned; their combination joined the clone's command judgment to Tianyang's greater combat body. (Chapters 1113–1118)

The defenders confronted a naked, black-patterned, marionette-like Longevity being after leaving Spiritwood Realm. The Holy Embryo judged that even Tianyang could only delay defeat, yet continued observing so the main body might identify the Alliance's hidden controller. Contact then vanished, and Li Fan concluded that the Spiritwood force had been destroyed. This sequence uses the normalized Chapter 1118 placement: the raw corpus contains a stray Chapter 1033 marker before that body, but the surrounding chronology belongs to Chapter 1118. The loss ends this incarnation and does not advance any later Holy Embryo. (Chapters 1118–1119)

Black Sword, Star Sea, and Xuan Immortal Ark body

A later Holy Embryo returned to the Heavenly Sword Sect ruins and personally merged with the Black Sword Heavenly Wonder. The world's support then drove a natural sequence: Black Sword foundation, Golden Core after leaving Tianyou, Nascent Soul during the Chizha Abyss journey, and Soul Transformation when the world's wailing reached him. Rather than remaining a disposable local courier, this incarnation crossed out of Xuanhuang as sword light, followed probes through the dangerous Star Sea, studied remnant-world laws, and reached the Sea of Relics around the Xuan Immortal Ark. Soul Transformation is the last explicit named formal stage; later accomplishments do not silently prove Dao Integration. (Chapters 1146–1189)

To operate inside the Ark, the Holy Embryo used the Zhao Xian body role and a planted dream to redirect a promising academy youth toward the Severed Immortal Tower, eventually bringing the incarnation's hidden agency into the institution. It accumulated Ark knowledge, worked around Ai Tianjue and the elders, and helped steer the vessel toward Xuanhuang for Li Fan's larger design. The cover is later explicitly identified as the Holy Embryo, rather than a new unrelated birth identity for this arc. When the Ark was consumed by the All Things Return to Void formation, the Holy Embryo offered no futile resistance and watched its body dissolve, ending this incarnation in Chapter 1302. (Chapters 1287, 1299–1302)

Appearance and personality

Holy Embryo bodies are adult men made nearly or fully identical to Li Fan, with clothing and equipment chosen for each mission. They should not be confused with Li Qing, whose male body bears Su Yuqing's female face. The Spiritwood incarnation is visually associated with Tianyang's battle construct, while the later explorer is associated with a plain Black Sword and black or brilliant sword radiance. These motifs belong to separate bodies and are not simultaneous equipment on one continuous person. (Chapters 930–931, 1113–1119, 1146–1178)

Their shared temperament comes from Li Fan's selected memories, skills, and objectives. Each is calm, observant, patient, and willing to end the current body without hesitation. The Law-Jade incarnation sustains a thousand Go games and adapts socially to an intelligent artifact; the Spiritwood commander makes clear tactical judgments under a Longevity threat; the Ark explorer maintains a long cover and studies unfamiliar laws. This apparent continuity is engineered rather than embodied memory passing naturally from one clone to the next. (Chapters 938–944, 1113–1119, 1146–1302)

The bodies are instruments, but they are not portrayed as mindless puppets during missions. They reason locally, improvise, experience curiosity and danger, and make decisions that return value to Li Fan. Their autonomy has firm boundaries: Li Fan chooses the memory package and mission, supplies or withholds cultivation, and accepts their destruction as a security measure. The result is a recurring self-like operative whose courage and intelligence are real within each life even though bodily continuity and informed independence are absent. (Chapters 930–944, 1058, 1113–1119, 1146–1302)

Abilities and cultivation

“Holy Embryo Li Fan” names a clone method and the bodies it produces, not a single cultivator accumulating realms across all appearances. Every formal stage below is assigned to a specific incarnation. The first body reaches a weak nominal Nascent Soul, the research body is only confirmed at Golden Core, the defense body begins at Nascent Soul and is lost, and the Black Sword body independently advances to Soul Transformation. Earlier imperial Holy Embryo references concern another lineage and are not part of this identity. (Chapters 930–931, 1058, 1113–1119, 1146–1147)

Holy Blood Embryo Transformation

Holy Blood Embryo Transformation converts prepared blood essence and materials into a new mortal body closely resembling Li Fan. The creator can modify the embryo's soul, give it selected memories and objectives, and create a self-like operative without risking the original body. The method supplies a physical vessel, not free cultivation: every incarnation begins mortal and must receive transferred power or establish its own path. This reset is why the article records multiple Golden Core and Nascent Soul entries instead of treating them as regressions. (Chapters 930–931, 1058, 1113, 1146)

Physical continuity ends when a body self-destructs, is annihilated, or dissolves. Information can return through the clone relationship, but the next Holy Embryo is a newly made vessel rather than the healed survivor of the previous mission. The latest tracked Zhao Xian/Ark incarnation dissolves in Chapter 1302, which ends that body without destroying Li Fan's knowledge of the technique. The corpus does not supply a later explicitly followed Holy Embryo incarnation within this scope. (Chapters 944, 1119, 1302)

Transferred cultivation, memory engineering, and self-destruction

Li Fan can use the Faceless statue connection to pour cultivation into a Holy Embryo and can seed it with skills, memories, and mission requirements. The first body rises from mortal to early Nascent Soul in three days only because an Unyielding Sword foundation and Five Elements Cave Heaven fragment are prepared for it. The World Destruction body stops at Golden Core, and the Spiritwood body is raised directly to Nascent Soul, demonstrating that the chosen level follows operational need rather than one automatic clone ceiling. (Chapters 930–931, 1058, 1113)

Transferred cultivation can be nominal and fragile. Li Fan judges the first early-Nascent-Soul incarnation weaker than an ordinary cultivator of that realm, and a cut Cave Heaven fragment does not reproduce the main body's complete foundation. Self-destruction is the matching security mechanism: the Law-Jade body collapses itself and its Cave Heaven under pursuit, erasing the immediate agent at the cost of all embodied continuity and incorporated items. The later bodies' realms cannot be credited to that sacrifice. (Chapters 931, 944)

Deduction, medicine, Go, and Law Derivative manipulation

The first body expresses Li Fan's accumulated medical and deductive knowledge through patient social action. One thousand Go games build a relationship with Daoist Qianxun and create an access route that brute force could not. Before the Law Derivative Jade, the Holy Embryo diagnoses the intelligent system's defect, offers repair, and uses the Jade's needs and curiosity to obtain a specially derived method. The ability is expertise and manipulation rather than a named combat realm. (Chapters 938–943)

Its limits are institutional and relational. The Holy Embryo needs a token, Qianxun's trust, access to the Alliance headquarters, and enough restraint not to trigger security before the results synchronize with Li Fan. Repairing or persuading the Jade does not make it his property or prove permanent control. Once the mission attracts pursuit, the incarnation cannot retain its body or access position. The knowledge returns to Li Fan, while the Go relationship, token custody, and direct patient role end with that mission body. (Chapters 938–944)

Black Sword Heavenly Wonder path

The later explorer acquires the Black Sword in the Sword Tomb and merges it into his body as a Heavenly Wonder foundation. Innumerable swords respond, and the world's laws actively support his advancement as he travels. This produces the incarnation's separate Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and finally world-wail Soul Transformation progression. In combat and movement, he can turn man and sword into brilliant radiance, use myriad sword shadows, cut through interference, and exploit his sensitivity to Xuanhuang and Star Sea laws. (Chapters 1146–1147, 1172–1178)

The path remains incarnation-specific and dangerous. Leaving the world's protection exposes the body to non-space gaps, eroding forces, hostile seal-script effects, and powers whose rules exceed Xuanhuang's. A prospective route to Dao Integration is not a completed breakthrough, and later influence aboard the Ark does not supply another named realm. The body survives long enough to learn from the Sea of Relics and infiltrate the Ark, but ultimately dissolves with the vessel in Chapter 1302. Soul Transformation remains its last explicit formal cultivation stage. (Chapters 1178–1189, 1287, 1299–1302)

Relationships

Li Fan

Li Fan is creator, original, mission planner, and beneficiary of every Holy Embryo incarnation. He designs their memories, provides cultivation or lets a body build its own foundation, receives observations, and treats physical loss as the price of protecting the main body. The Holy Embryos share his goals and much of his reasoning but do not possess his uninterrupted physical life or full information. They are therefore best understood as engineered self-like agents, not aliases for every scene in which the main Li Fan appears. (Chapters 930–944, 1058, 1113–1119, 1146–1302)

Li Qing

Li Qing is another Li Fan clone but a distinct identity. He is made from Su Yuqing's essence blood, has an implanted Xuantian history, and develops a persistent Black Sword cultivation life of his own. Holy Embryo bodies instead resemble Li Fan, are produced repeatedly through Holy Blood Embryo Transformation, and reset with each physical incarnation. The fact that both can use a Black Sword path does not merge their bodies, memories, faces, or progression tables. (Chapters 902–903, 930–931, 1146–1147)

Tianyang

Tianyang is the sentient battle partner of the Spiritwood defense body. The Holy Embryo wears or operates with the Tianyang Battle Puppet, but Tianyang makes judgments and fights as a person rather than passive inventory. Their cooperation delays a Longevity-level attacker long enough to expose information, after which both disappear from Li Fan's contact. (Chapters 1113–1119)

Daoist Qianxun and the Law Derivative Jade

Daoist Qianxun is the first incarnation's cultivated access relationship: a thousand games of Go produce trust, intellectual exchange, and the token needed to approach the Jade. The Law Derivative Jade is simultaneously patient, gatekeeper, and exploited source of methods. Neither relationship transfers intact to later bodies, and neither figure becomes the Holy Embryo's possession. (Chapters 938–944)

Ai Tianjue and the Xuan Immortal Ark

Ai Tianjue and the Ark's elders are teachers, gatekeepers, and targets of persuasion during the Zhao Xian phase. The Holy Embryo uses their civilization's accumulated knowledge while guiding the vessel into Li Fan's strategic field. Membership and influence do not amount to ownership of the Ark, and the incarnation's dissolution with it ends the cover body's direct participation. (Chapters 1287, 1299–1302)

Items

  • Unyielding Sword human-grade Wonder: Li Fan and his clone create this foundation material for the first mission body. It is incorporated into that body's cultivation and lost when the incarnation self-destructs in Chapter 944. (Chapters 931, 944)
  • Five Elements Cave Heaven fragment: Cut from Li Fan's Cave Heaven and incorporated into the first body's nominal Nascent Soul structure. It is not carried into later incarnations and is lost with the body. (Chapters 931, 944)
  • Derivative Jade token: Daoist Qianxun provides this temporary access object for the Law-Jade mission. Continuing custody after the mission is not established. (Chapters 938–943)
  • Law Derivative Jade: The first Holy Embryo diagnoses, repairs, and influences the Jade, but never owns it; the artifact remains an Alliance intelligence and deduction system. (Chapters 941–944)
  • Tianyang Battle Puppet: The Spiritwood incarnation wears or partners with this construct, whose resident Tianyang is a sentient person. It is not ordinary owned equipment and disappears with the defensive force. (Chapters 1113–1119)
  • Black Sword Heavenly Wonder: The later explorer merges this Wonder into its foundation. Custody and cultivation integration belong to that incarnation only and end with its dissolution. (Chapters 1146–1147, 1302)
  • Xuan Immortal Ark: This is the civilization and vessel infiltrated through the Zhao Xian role, not the Holy Embryo's property. It is destroyed during the Chapter 1302 formation catastrophe. (Chapters 1189, 1287, 1299–1302)
  • Medicine King True Cauldron: In an earlier life, a mortal Holy Embryo rode within and controlled an enhanced cauldron while charging into the Immortal Ruins; Chapter 1341 recalls that experiment. It was temporary transport and protection, not the clone type's permanent home or personal property. Broader custody remained with Li Fan and the Medicine King Sect framework, and the tracked Law-Jade, Spiritwood, and Black Sword/Ark bodies do not reside in or carry it.
