"Celestial Dharma Bearer, who has attained enlightenment for many years, possesses unfathomable strength. It’s better not to be careless."
"Don’t speak of a million cultivators, even if all the cultivators from the Xuanhuang World were combined, I’m afraid they still might not be able to defeat the Dharma Transmitter."
After expressing surprise, the boy, who appeared very shy, quickly regained his composure. With a light cough, he kindly reminded him.
"Hmm..."
"There is some truth to that. After all, he is a being that has oppressed the entire Xuanhuang World for thousands of years..."
Seemingly persuaded by the boy, the arrogant look on Li Fan’s face vanished, and he became somber.
"However, there’s no need to be too afraid of him."
"If he really pushes me too far, I’ll simply activate the [Hunger] Immortal from the Immortal Ruins, and we’ll all perish together!"
To the boy’s surprise, Li Fan only calmed down for a moment before turning the conversation sharply, speaking in a cold voice.
And the content of his words greatly alarmed the Dharma Transmitter.
In the Xuanhuang World, very few cultivators know of the existence of the Immortal Ruins.
And even fewer cultivators know that a True Immortal sits in meditation within the Immortal Ruins.
He didn’t know about the Five Elders Organization, but at least among the Dharma Transmitters of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, only he was aware of this fact.
It was the Celestial Dharma Bearer himself who had told him so many years ago.
And now...
Dharma Transmitter Jiang stared at the unremarkable cultivator before him, his thoughts whirling as he speculated about the other’s origins.
"To know such a secret, he must have had contact with powers above the Immortal Realm."
"Mystic Sky secret techniques, Immortal World heritage. It should be the remnant of the Mystic Sky Sect beyond doubt."
"I didn’t expect that after so much time, the Mystic Sky Sect’s presence still lingers. And there’s even the possibility that they have infiltrated the higher echelons of the Immortal Alliance..."
While contemplating, Dharma Transmitter Jiang tempted Li Fan, "Unless absolutely necessary, it’s best not to choose mutual destruction."
"After all, to reach the current situation has not been easy. It would be a pity to give up lightly!"
Li Fan nodded in agreement, "The plans I’ve laid for more than seven years in this world, if I were to discard them now, I would indeed find it somewhat regrettable."
Dharma Transmitter Jiang was again internally shocked, "This matter involved over seven years of planning?"
"Only seven years?"
"How is that possible?!"
"When did the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals become so easy to infiltrate?"
Dharma Transmitter Jiang was furiously stunned and once more scrutinized the Mystic Sky Sect cultivator before him.
"Or perhaps, he is purposefully deceiving me?"
Dharma Transmitter Jiang couldn’t help but think this.
However, after observing for a while, Dharma Transmitter Jiang shook his head internally, dismissing his own suspicion.
"All Things Are Like Me" is not some technique or Divine Technique. It is his innate supreme characteristic.
Any living being that comes face to face and makes contact with him will see him as "oneself."
Mistrust, secrets, defences – these emotions, which only arise in the presence of others, will never surface when facing him, Dharma Transmitter Jiang.
If faced with a threat to life, they would instinctively protect their own existence just as they would safeguard his.
Having been in the Xuanhuang World for thousands of years, Dharma Transmitter Jiang had never seen any being immune to this characteristic.
Even the Celestial Dharma Bearer was the same!
Otherwise, how could he, with his not-so-outstanding strength and talent, secure the position as the foremost Dharma Transmitter?
This ability is indeed extremely formidable; for him, no enemies exist in this world. If he chose to, he could uncover the secrets of every other person.
If there were any shortcomings, it would be that it is only to the extent of "As Me."
And not "For Me."
Indeed, almost all living beings don’t harbor any wariness towards "oneself."
But if one begins to doubt the authenticity of the "I" that Dharma Transmitter Jiang plays, they would equally launch an attack.
Back then, it was precisely how Celestial Dharma Bearer had seen through him.
Therefore, he could only slowly use various methods to extract information indirectly. Asking those questions that the "original self" considers common knowledge would likely give him away.
Although there was this restriction, over the years, relying on this defiant nature, he had still emerged victorious in all endeavors. The number of cultivators who could truly see through him could be counted on one hand.
Other Dharma Transmitters were aware of this ability of his. Even with their guard up, they were utterly defenseless against it.
All they could do was to keep a respectful distance.
And for the sake of the overall order within the group of Dharma Transmitters, he also exiled himself to a blank Small World known as "Returning to the Ruins", remotely controlling the many affairs of the Immortal Alliance. 𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝙤𝙢
The cultivator before him was unpredictable, yet it was clear that he had not escaped the influence of his innate ability.
"What he said should all be true,"
Dharma Transmitter Jiang, having made such a judgment, did not breathe a sigh of relief but instead felt an even heavier weight in his heart.
"Seven years, seven years..."
Dharma Transmitter Jiang quickly sifted through all the major and minor events that had occurred in the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals over the past seven years within his Spirit Consciousness, attempting to find the mole named Mo Rubing.
However, the other party had obviously changed their name, leaving absolutely no leads.
"It seems that I’ll have to figure out a way through this person."
Dharma Transmitter Jiang’s thoughts raced, and he then agreed, "Indeed, spending seven years is nothing. It’s just that if we miss this chance, we don’t know how long we’ll have to wait again to start over."
"Hehe, don’t worry. With [Real] in hand, as long as it has been achieved once, it can be reproduced countless times..." Li Fan was speaking confidently when his words suddenly stopped.
He stared at Dharma Transmitter Jiang, his expression seemingly unchanged.
But Dharma Transmitter Jiang keenly sensed that something about the atmosphere had changed!
"Hmm? Where did I slip up?"
"With [Real] in hand, you can reproduce any strategy that has been accomplished countless times?"
"What are [Real] and these Treasures?"
"Could it be the Immortal Instruments left by the Mystic Sky Sect from the past?"
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Dharma Transmitter Jiang’s Spirit Consciousness.
However, he also realized he had probably exposed himself, so without trying to hide it, and while his natural ability was still in effect, he tried to ask, "[Real] is what?"
"[Real] is what?"
...
This sentence echoed continuously in Li Fan’s realm of Spirit Consciousness.
An emotionless gaze locked onto Dharma Transmitter Jiang.
Then, the million demonic forces that had been ravaging and wreaking havoc in the Xuanhuang World all returned in an instant.
Evil energy surged towards the heavens as the Ghost Slug appeared again!
Dharma Transmitter Jiang’s complexion changed slightly, wanting to break the connection and retreat from this realm of Spirit Consciousness.
But it was already too late.
The million demonic forces unleashed a thunderous roar towards Dharma Transmitter Jiang.
The roaring sounded like a huge tidal wave, converging into one.
With the momentum to destroy everything, it bore down on Dharma Transmitter Jiang from above!
And amidst the onslaught of the million demonic forces, a subtle, inconspicuous Seven-color Divine Light also took the opportunity to fly out.
It collided with the intentions of Dharma Transmitter Jiang.
The moment they touched, the Seven-color Divine Light quietly dissolved, injecting a wisp of grey mold spot into Dharma Transmitter Jiang’s will.
