NOVPUBLi Fan was certain that before Mo Rubing left, this spider web didn’t exist in the Hidden Cave Heaven.
"Appearing suddenly, are you hinting something to me..."
There was no spider present as the weaver on the spider web, as if it had appeared out of thin air.
Under Li Fan’s gaze, a butterfly fluttered its wings and landed on the web.
The butterfly didn’t sense any danger, and even felt quite comfortable, crawling back and forth across the web with its feet.
This spider web was also different from ordinary ones, as it didn’t stick the butterfly, and it was extremely sturdy without even a slight shake.
The butterfly was thoroughly enjoying itself on the web.
But it ultimately couldn’t live its whole life on the web, it still needed to find food, to sustain its existence.
Thus, the butterfly fluttered its wings again, trying to fly away.
But just at the moment it was about to leave the web...
Something happened that made Li Fan’s pupils constrict sharply.
Seemingly sensing the butterfly’s departure, the previously harmless spider web suddenly tightened.
Unexpectedly, a force was generated that instantly pulled the butterfly back.
The unprepared butterfly, with its fragile body, couldn’t withstand the immense force pulling at it and was instantly torn into countless particles. It was absorbed and evenly dusted over the pristine web.
In the blink of an eye, it was absorbed by the web, its remains merging with the web, indistinguishable.
And the spider web still existed quietly in the corner, as if the prior anomaly had never occurred.
...
Having witnessed the entire process, Li Fan took a deep breath.
Such an overt hint, where couldn’t he discern where the unease in his heart he had always overlooked was coming from?
His previous deductions were actually not wrong.
Just like the butterfly that blundered into the web, the Faceless True Immortal should not have been interested in the weak Li Fan.
Whether it was bluffing by leveraging the power of the statue or wandering under the very eyes of the statue.
Neither would attract the attention of the True Immortal.
If everything remained the same from the beginning to end, indeed, there would be no problems.
But if one wanted to escape the control of the True Immortal’s power, or suddenly demonstrated power that even True Immortals found intriguing...
The end might be like that butterfly, instantly retaliated against and torn into countless pieces!
In analogy with Li Fan’s situation, staying within the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm, Unity-Path combat power, by using the Faceless True Immortal Statue for support, there wouldn’t be much of an issue.
But if one chose to "Even True," like the butterfly fluttering its wings suddenly in the net, it could immediately alert that Faceless True Immortal.
How quick would a True Immortal react, could it affect or even interrupt the process of "Even True"?
Li Fan could not fathom this.
But when the 115th Deserted Dao Immortal destroyed Xuan Huang in an instant, affected by his power, the surroundings after Li Fan’s "Even True" did not immediately become illusory.
Afterwards, a black domain appeared, and outside the black domain, time still flowed.
This might imply to some extent that when one’s strength reaches or approaches the level of a Nameless True Immortal, it could indeed have some impact on the operation of "Even True."
The most critical point was that Li Fan had already been chosen by the Faceless Stone Statue as some sort of "agent."
Even Golden Willpower would appear inside his body...
It’s like being deeply caught in the net, entangled in everything!
There is almost no difference from being in front of a True Immortal.
Perhaps a True Immortal would not notice an ant underfoot, but when the ant emits a burst of light, it would inevitably attract the attention of a True Immortal!
"..."
After pondering for a long time, Li Fan couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Thank goodness for the spiritual sense, which let me not ’Even True’ immediately before."
"Otherwise, facing the True Immortal directly without any mental preparation..."
Even with Li Fan’s current realization, he couldn’t help but say "more bad luck than good."
After a brief horror, Li Fan calmed his mind.
The unease that had been lingering in his heart gradually dissipated, leaving him with less fear.
Because of the unknown, therefore the fear.
Once he knew the source of the threat, Li Fan, instead, became calm.
"Actually, it’s not the dire situation I imagined. After all, I’m not confronting a True Immortal head-on, but finding a way to truly return in the face of a True Immortal."
"This life has just begun, there’s a long time ahead, enough for me to think."
"When I was at the Foundation Establishment stage, I could return from Celestial Doctor safely; now that my strength is comparable to Unity-Path, how could I not do the same in the face of True Immortal?"
Li Fan’s thoughts slowly settled, the panic in his eyes disappeared, replaced by an unfathomable depth, like a quiet pond.
At this moment, in the web of this Hidden Cave Heaven, another change quietly occurred.
Another butterfly, fluttering along, landed on the web.
Just like what had happened before, it was deeply trapped in the web without knowing.
But this time, just as the butterfly was about to take flight again, something different happened!
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, causing the web itself to shake violently.
As a result, that inexplicable suction force did not occur.
Seizing the opportunity, the butterfly quickly flapped its wings and departed.
Disappearing into the air.
Just like a stage play, after performing these two scenes, the web, the butterfly, and the wind instantly disappeared from sight.
Looking around, Li Fan also failed to find any trace of their presence in this Hidden Cave Heaven.
"This illusion technique indeed has some tricks."
However, Li Fan was not interested in how Mo Rubing displayed this scene, but rather in its underlying meaning.
"Whether it’s the Stone Statue or the Spirit Elixir, Mo Rubing seems extremely eager to avoid them."
"Added to his hint, it’s clear he is aware of the consequences of falling into the True Immortal’s Net."
"But looking at the current situation, he seems to have escaped from the True Immortal’s Net already."
Li Fan’s mind once again envisioned the scene of the butterfly-taking flight amid the strong wind.
And he also vaguely recognized what he had previously overlooked.
The Faceless Stone Statue, as the Totem of the Mystic Sky Sect, would surely not have been rare within the sect in the past.
But within the memory of Ji Yuzhen, the Mystical Sky Sect King, Li Fan had never seen a trace of the Faceless True Immortal Statue.
"Either at that time within the Mystic Sky Sect, there were no stone statues."
"Or..."
"Some force had completely severed the existence, the influence of the stone statue."
Thinking of this, Li Fan couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.
"Such a severance occurring to two Law Kings is definitely not a coincidence."
"It seems that the event of the Mystic Sky Sect’s downfall still conceals many secrets, and Mo Rubing, who deeply understands the terrifying power of the True Immortal, dares not even speak outright."
"He can only hint in such an abstract manner…"
Li Fan felt increasingly heavy.
"It seems that to break the pattern this time, I need to seek help from Mo Rubing."
"First, let’s cooperate with him to blackmail the Tianxuan Mirror."
Thinking this, Li Fan drifted away.
