NOVPUBOriginally seeing "Sun Xingwang" had returned to normal, joy involuntarily surged on Mo Rubing’s face.
But what made him extremely uncomfortable was that Li Fan had stopped talking abruptly halfway through.
The other’s expression suddenly became immensely bewildered, his gaze empty.
After a long while, a slight hint of brightness returned, and he subconsciously looked around.
"You are..." Li Fan stared at Mo Rubing in front of him, asking with some confusion.
This stark contrast before and after made Mo Rubing take a deep breath.
Although he knew the techniques that Sun Xingwang cultivated were extremely strange, being the most peculiar among the Twelve Law Kings.
But the bizarreness to this extent still made him feel somewhat eerie.
"However, what Brother Xingwang thought coincidentally matches my own," he mused.
"Hmm... indeed, that day he intentionally led the Dharma Transmitter Feng to my place of slumber. He wanted to make me infiltrate the high ranks of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals."
As Mo Rubing was deep in thought, Li Fan seemed to have recognized him.
"It turns out to be Brother Bing."
"How come we are here?"
Li Fan surveyed the surroundings.
Mo Rubing sighed slightly, musing internally, "At least he still remembers me. Saves me the trouble of explaining again."
Then he briefly described how he had replaced Dharma Transmitter Feng, entered the upper echelons of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, and schemed for the Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror.
"The Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror was the only Immortal Instrument refined by the King of Mystic Sky. Although the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals has been using it over the years, from my observation, they have not completely gained control over it. Instead, they have established some sort of cooperative relationship."
"If we can regain control of the Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror, we might be able to use it to determine the whereabouts of the King of Mystic Sky," he stated succinctly while taking advantage of Li Fan’s moments of clarity.
"Knowing this won’t be of any use in my state. What do you need me to do?" Li Fan asked cooperatively, displaying self-awareness.
Mo Rubing was quite reassured and whispered softly, "Currently in the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, the lineages of the Dharma Transmitters and the Mirror Handlers are divided and mutually restricting. In addition, the [Sage of Illusion and Reality] lineage lurks in the shadows, acting as a balance."
Li Fan frowned slightly, "The high ranks of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals are so complicated? And what about these Mirror Handlers, Sage of Illusion and Reality..."
"I had never heard of them before."
Mo Rubing nodded slightly, "I also only found out about this after taking over the body of Dharma Transmitter Feng. It’s normal for the outside world not to know the true power of these three lineages as they rarely show themselves."
"The so-called Dharma Transmitters are the cultivators who followed behind the Celestial Dharma Bearer back then, promoting new laws."
"And the Mirror Handlers, as the name implies, are those who regulate the power of the Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror. Over the years, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals has never given up on fully acquiring the Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror. By utilizing the methods left behind by the Celestial Dharma Bearer, they erode and increase their control over it step by step."
"As for the most mysterious third lineage, the Sage of Illusion and Reality..."
"I have also had little contact with them during this period. However, it seems to be related to an entity named [Era] and the Beast Race’s Emperor Tri-Moa. Using supreme deductive power along with some extremely illusory yet true powers that can turn the Void into reality, they can summon countless powerful cultivators to battle..."
Mo Rubing shared the currently known intelligence with Li Fan.
After listening, Li Fan waved his hand impatiently, "What is the plan?"
"It seems that even as a Dharma Transmitter, seeking to gain control of the Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror is not an easy task," he remarked.
Mo Rubing nodded, not denying it, "But my plan has already started to show some effects."
"The Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror has its own Spirit Wisdom. Since gaining control of it is not easy, we shall coerce it into cooperating with us willingly."
"Brother Xingwang, the Mystic Sky Spirit Sealing Array Map that you had sent to the Immortal Alliance through some means, with my push behind, has already stirred up the Dharma Transmitters’ lineage to act."
"They attempt to use the power of Mystic Sky Sealing Spirit to completely control the TianXuan Mirror, thereby thoroughly crushing the lineage of Mirror Handlers..."
"But you and I both know that Mystic Sky Sealing Spirit is merely forcing the Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror to execute certain commands,"
"Hmph, it seems that aside from the King of Mystic Sky, no one else in this world could achieve that!"
"However, being manipulated like this, the Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror naturally is unwilling. When the constraints deepen step by step, we can try to make contact with it. In turn, we cooperate with it to help it resolve the crisis. The cost is helping us find the King of Mystic Sky."
"Of course, if it’s unwilling..."
Morubin’s eyes twinkled, "Then we might as well push the Mystic Sky Sealing Spirit a step further."
Li Fan interrupted Morubin, "The attitude of the Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror is unclear, and it probably won’t be too enthusiastic about retrieving the King of Mystic Sky. It might even sabotage our efforts..."
Morubin smiled, "Xingwang brother, you forgot that the Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror, having been refined by the King of Mystic Sky, is already infused with the Path of Xuantian. It cannot speak falsely, and likewise, it must do as it says."
Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is that so..."
His expression was confused, as if he was on the verge of losing his memory again.
Seeing this, Morubin quickly interjected, "So now, what Xingwang brother needs to do is to collude with me inside and outside, gradually increasing my influence."
"Obtaining the trust of most Dharma Transmitters is crucial to continue promoting the Mystic Sky Sealing Spirit."
"Your divine presence, within half a month, try to expand at the utmost speed. After causing panic, I will take action. Then, you can coordinate with me and stage a play. At that time, destroy most of the divine presences, leaving only a part for backup."
Morubin instructed.
Li Fan nodded repeatedly and immediately agreed.
"By the way, about your condition..." Morubin looked concerned.
"Do not worry, I have my ways to record the truly important matters,"
As he spoke, the Faceless True Immortal Statue appeared again in the sky.
Li Fan gazed at the statue, his eyes closed in thought.
A faint golden light reappeared, enveloping the entire statue.
Then Li Fan opened his eyes and dispersed the statue.
"It can only be this way,"
Li Fan said mildly.
Morubin appeared thoughtful but did not continue the topic.
"Our plan is nearly foolproof, the only concern..."
Morubin paused, then said, "is that Dharma Transmitter Jiang."
A rare serious expression appeared on his face.
"If there is anyone in the current Alliance of Thousands of Immortals who can truly undertake the pivotal role in the Revival of the Immortal Alliance, it would undoubtedly be him."
"Dharma Transmitter Jiang..."
"He truly has a bit of the King of Mystic Sky’s demeanor from back in the day."
Morubin gave the person high praise.
"Dharma Transmitter Jiang..." Li Fan’s mind stirred, but he did not inquire further.
Instead, he pretended to be unconcerned."
"With you leading, I’m very reassured. I just need to support you covertly." 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝔬𝔪
Morubin nodded, "That is exactly right."
