NOVPUB"If you wish to pry into my secrets, be prepared to pay a dire price,"
Setting aside the unpredictable "as if I" ability on first encounter, Dharma Transmitter Jiang’s actual combat strength was not as strong as Li Fan had imagined.
At the very least, he had not yet used numerous backup plans, relying solely on the divine sense of a million Daemon gods, Li Fan had easily crushed him!
"Even if not dead, he’s severely injured!"
What’s more critical was the grey mold spot that had been sent into the opponent’s spirit consciousness!
Previously cultured by Li Fan using exotic beast flesh and sealed with the Seven-colored Divine Light, the split miniature mold spot was finally employed by Li Fan as a weapon of destruction.
Indeed, Li Fan had unknowingly been led astray!
He truly saw himself as that Dharma Transmitter.
Luckily, he tended to speak in an elusive, foggy manner. Thus, during the process of being baited into talking by the opponent, indeed, he exposed many of his own secrets.
But not many were revealed.
He revealed that he was in the Spirit Tree Realm. But Spirit Tree Realm was a name Li Fan himself had given this microcosm, unknown to the outside world.
With countless Xuanhuang microcosms, which one is the Spirit Tree Realm?
The million Daemon gods, although said to be a result of the cultivation of Yan Fajue evolving into the [Three Great Disasters and Hundred Calamities Scripture], was merely a form change. Its fundamental prototype is the [Chronicle of the Three Perils: Ghosts and Hidden Gods]. Therefore, calling it Mystic Sky Secret Technique, an Immortal World Heritage, is not incorrect.
He exposed Mo Rubing’s infiltration at the upper echelons of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, but the opponent only knew the name Mo Rubing.
As for who Mo Rubing is…
Well, with so many people at the Immortal Alliance Headquarters, let them guess one by one.
He revealed that he knew about the existence of Hungry Immortal within the Immortal Ruins, aware of his ability to pull the entire Xuanhuang World with him in a mutual downfall...
This, on the contrary, is not a bad thing. Rather, it’s a kind of intangible deterrence. 𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑝𝘶𝘣.𝑐𝘰𝘮
What really was fatal, Li Fan had exposed the existence of [Real].
This was also why Li Fan, once he regained consciousness, immediately released the long-sealed grey mold spot as a counterattack.
And the reason he did not immediately use [Real]...
Li Fan revisited the opponent’s reactions at that time.
"It was mostly confusion, without any shock or delight."
"He only knows I have [Real], not the actual utilities of [Real]."
"Of course, I don’t rule out the possibility that he might realize its meanings sooner or later."
"That is, if he can live that long."
Li Fan pondered for a long time, still deciding to wait and see how Xuanhuang World would evolve next.
After all, his spirit was now united with the Heaven and Earth of the Spirit Tree Realm; if he truly encountered a formidable enemy, he would have ample time to comfortably use [Real].
"As for those million Daemon gods of thought, I really can’t keep them."
Faced with this overwhelmingly powerful force, Li Fan did not hesitate at all and issued a recall order.
From the spirit consciousness of countless Daemon gods, silver threads flew out. These represented the controlling, governing energy of thoughts.
After Li Fan extracted them, what remained was merely an empty shell.
Although it still possessed a battle power comparable to a God Transformation, it was ignorant, acted instinctively, and also lacked Li Fan’s expansion and proliferation directives.
Though the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals would still need to exert some effort to suppress them, the cost they needed to pay was no longer as great.
In the final moments, Li Fan informed Mo Rubing of his decision.
He then completely severed his connection with these Daemon gods.
"Using the spirit consciousness of a million cultivators as a nursery, my divine sense has almost doubled in strength in such a short period of time," Li Fan mused after recalling the thought energy.
"It truly is a supreme mystique, a pity it cannot be used frequently."
"Next, let me see how the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals will cope with the remaining Daemon gods and that deadly grey mold spot."
"I hope they can hold out for a few more years."
Li Fan settled in the Spirit Tree Realm unstirred, merely monitoring the changes in Xuanhuang World through the followers of the Crimson Compassionate Immortal.
Immortal Alliance Headquarters, Ruins One World.
The defeated Dharma Transmitter Jiang reappeared in his true form.
At this moment, his appearance had changed drastically from the young man he once was.
His face bore cracks like the parched earth, filled with fissures.
His hair too had become peppered with white.
More horrifying still, parts of his flesh had become blurry and indistinct.
With each pulsation, they simply vanished into thin air.
Even though he tried his best to hold himself together, Dharma Transmitter Jiang had almost become riddled with holes.
Yet, Dharma Transmitter Jiang sought no help from other law transmitters.
For he knew the grey mold spot plaguing him was highly contagious.
If not for his own body acting as a cage, using all his inner strength to barely contain it, if not for this place being the Ruins One World, devoid of anything else but him, the grey mold spot would have no way to spread...
The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, and even the Xuanhuang World, would have already been a living hell.
His life nearing its end, Dharma Transmitter Jiang’s face, inexplicably, showed no sign of fear.
He still analyzed calmly, "The immortal family’s seal script is very similar in structure to the Secret Technique of [Chaos], they must share the same origin..."
"Could the tribulations of that year have involved the Mystic Sky Sect? Impossible..."
Confusion and bewilderment filled Dharma Transmitter Jiang’s face.
Sometime later, Dharma Transmitter Jiang was completely consumed by the grey mold spot.
Only a large mass of writhing grey-yellow shadow remained, attempting to spread to its surroundings.
But in the Ruins One World, there was only absolute void.
Thus, the grey mold spot remained trapped within this small world.
It hovered hesitantly.
After an unknown amount of time.
A powerful fluctuation swept through the Ruins World at a constant rate.
The grey mold spot, as if sensing something, began to bubble and boil.
Then it rapidly expanded outward.
It seemed to form a vast sheet of grey-yellow-white, attempting to engulf the entire Ruins World.
But something strange occurred.
Wherever the fluctuation passed, the mysterious and potentially world-destroying grey mold spot that even Li Fan greatly feared, instantly began to disappear, inch by inch!
The Ruins World, too, returned to its prior state of being nothing more than void.
But...
Apart from the void, there was another presence in the Ruins World.
Without any warning, Dharma Transmitter Jiang, who should have been dead, suddenly reappeared in the Ruins World!
Dharma Transmitter Jiang did not seem surprised by his own revival.
However, as he looked around, a trace of surprise emerged on his face: "This [Return to Origin] left no trace of information at all?"
"What really happened?"
"Could even the information itself be contaminated?"
With Dharma Transmitter Jiang’s murmurs, the events that had occurred in the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, both now and in the past, all surfaced in his mind.
"Hunting the murderer was unsuccessful, and instead led to being killed."
"Interesting."
