NOVPUBSpirit Tree Realm.
"Hmm? Why hasn’t the grey mold spot erupted yet?" Having waited almost a month without hearing any news, Li Fan couldn’t help but be puzzled.
"It doesn’t make sense."
After thinking it over and carefully reviewing the situation again, Li Fan believed that the problem could only lie with the Dharma Transmitter.
"True to being one of the highest rulers of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, an entity that survived the Ancient Great Calamity."
"Although still not comparable to the [Hunger] above the Immortal Ruins, the destructive power of the grey mold spot should still be above that of an ordinary Immortal Realm..."
"To be able to dissolve it so easily, without a trace..."
"Hmm, perhaps the correct way to use the grey mold spot is to first secretly nibble away at various places in the Xuanhuang World and then erupt simultaneously at multiple points..."
While Li Fan, proficient in pharmacology, was deep in thought, the only remaining thought-devil he left behind, which was possessed by Mo Rubing, finally sent a message after arriving incredibly late.
"Brother Xingwang, all well?"
"Who? Where did this nobody come from!" Li Fan pretended as if he had already forgotten about the other person.
He was about to launch an attack without another word.
But without the support of thousands of gods and devils, and just by the power of divine consciousness alone, Li Fan was clearly not a match for Mo Rubing at the moment.
While Mo Rubing was defending, he tried to awaken the memories of "Sun Xingwang."
He put on a show for a while, and as a faceless stone statue slowly emerged in the seemingly empty sea of consciousness, casting a faint golden light.
Li Fan gradually stopped attacking.
He stared at Mo Rubing for a long while, his expression indiscernible, "You finally arrived."
"Hmph, we brothers almost couldn’t see each other again."
Li Fan spoke with an unfriendly tone and glared angrily, "Wasn’t it agreed that once the time came, you would directly come forward and take over the task of sweeping away the gods and devils? Why did you send a cunning young man instead?"
"If it weren’t for the critical moment, the protection of the Supreme Red Dust Merciful Immortal, I almost followed his path and leaked all the secrets!"
"Or is this the outcome you wanted all along? Setting me up?"
Murderous intent emerged on Li Fan’s face.
Mo Rubing’s expression was shocked: "Brother Xingwang, don’t misunderstand! I didn’t anticipate that Dharma Transmitter Jiang would take action personally!"
"The commotion you caused was a bit too massive, almost bringing the Xuanhuang World to the brink of upheaval."
"Honestly, I was quite startled at the time."
An air of helplessness filled Mo Rubing’s tone.
"Hmm? So you’re saying it’s all my fault?"
What was clearly a bright sea of consciousness, became ominously chilling after these words from Mo Rubing emerged.
To avoid the other’s fury, he quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Brother Xingwang, how exactly did you fend him off? Judging from his actions afterwards, he seemed to have returned without success, gaining nothing."
Li Fan said impatiently, "As I said, it was the protection of the Supreme Red Dust Merciful Immortal! Otherwise, I would still foolishly think I was him and he was me!"
At this point, Mo Rubing finally confirmed that "Sun Xingwang" had indeed escaped from the hands of Dharma Transmitter Jiang.
After all, the true nature of Dharma Transmitter Jiang was only known by the other Dharma Transmitters.
Mo Rubing inadvertently glanced at the gradually fading stone statue above his head, as he pondered thoughtfully.
"But our ultimate goal has now been achieved, this time I resolved the crisis of gods and demons rampaging; by tradition, for the next period, I will be responsible for the significant affairs of the Immortal Alliance,"
"So it’s time to pressure the Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror once more," said Mo Rubing.
Li Fan just waved his hand, "Same as always, you figure it out, whatever you need me to do, just say the word!"
Mo Rubing smiled, "Brother Xingwang won’t need you to take action again this time. Just patiently wait. When there’s progress, I will contact you."
"This time mainly to confirm your situation. After all, Dharma Transmitter Jiang is not easy to deal with. I’ve been avoiding direct contact with him..." Mo Rubing’s voice carried a hint of gravity.
"Tell me in detail about this Dharma Transmitter, so I won’t be caught off guard if I encounter him again," Li Fan continued.
"I wanted to warn you the day he took action, but it was right during the Dharma Transmitter Council, and sending a warning was already the limit,"
"Dharma Transmitter Jiang is the foremost among all Dharma Transmitters. He possesses the supreme trait of ’All Things Are Like Me’..."
"That Ruins One World, left by the Celestial Dharma Bearer, can infinitely ’Return to Origin’..."
"Besides Dharma Transmitter Jiang, Dharma Transmitter Jiang is also a particularly tough opponent."
Mo Rubing did not withhold, and conveyed all he knew about the various Dharma Transmitters in detail.
"One thing to note is, aside from Dharma Transmitter Jiang who always keeps nothing back, the other Dharma Transmitters, more or less, all have their own secrets unknown to others."
"After all, controlling the highest power of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals for so many years, they have nearly endless resources at their disposal..."
"Who knows what strange things they’ve studied in secret. For instance, the previous ’Sky-Patrolling Arrow,’ was a mature manufacturing plan provided by Dharma Transmitter Zhao."
...
In this conversation, Li Fan not only learned the reasons why the grey mold spot had not erupted,
but for the first time, he also gained quite a lot of intelligence on the Dharma Transmitters who were always behind the scenes.
Each Dharma Transmitter is truly a privileged class of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, their annual contribution share is almost infinite, and their merit levels are also of the highest degree, forty-nine derivatives.
They only entered the system of contribution and merit levels to keep up appearances, in order to maintain the system of the Immortal Alliance.
Dharma Transmitters, dependent on the Xuanhuang World and the principles established by the Celestial Dharma Bearer, though they will never attain long-lasting life, can still live as long as Heaven and Earth, immortal and never aging.
Moreover, it is said that even if they fall due to some reasons, they can still return to the world through some method of restoring a ’Backup.’
Of course, incidences of Dharma Transmitters being attacked or falling have never occurred since the birth of the Immortal Alliance.
So Mo Rubing wasn’t sure of its authenticity.
The Dharma Transmitters hold eighteen seats, which have never changed since the foundation of the Immortal Alliance. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
And they will never change in the future.
They are the real upper echelons of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, and any system or laws of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals are ineffective against them.
Only the resolutions within the Dharma Transmitter Council can influence them.
They also hold privileges that ordinary cultivators wouldn’t even dare to dream of.
For instance: conscription.
Within the territory of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, if they fancy any cultivator for any reason, they have the authority to conscript this cultivator into their own Small World.
And the chosen cultivator, like evaporation from the human world, disappears without a trace.
No records of them are ever kept.
For thousands of years, this is how the Dharma Transmitters have operated.
