NOVPUB"It’s just a pity that this object is too conspicuous, and even if I wanted to exchange it for something else, it wouldn’t work."
Li Fan sighed and then turned his gaze towards the Mo Dye Evil Book.
The moment he took it out and placed it in front of him, both the Huadao Stone and the Dissociation Disc in his Spirit Consciousness transmitted feelings of disgust and a touch of fear.
"There are indeed some tricks to it."
Li Fan stared intently at the pitch-black metal book.
It was unclear what material it was crafted from, but it emanated an ominously dark glow.
This dark light seemed to be alive, constantly moving across the surface.
Unlike the ink on Mo Sha’s body that Li Fan had seen before, which was purely a breath of destruction,
this Mo Dye Evil Book was more like emitting a strong stench that made one feel nauseated and uncomfortable.
"It’s like the rubbish produced during the operation of Heaven and Earth, unfit for this world..."
"Come to think of it, it seems somewhat similar to the world of ’Spectre’ that Yin Shangren belongs to."
Li Fan mused thoughtfully.
Using a so-called Green Bamboo Ring, a Nascent Soul mirror Magic Treasure standardized by the Immortal Alliance for experimentation, when Li Fan manipulated the Mo Dye Evil Book and released thousands of strands of dark light that enveloped it,
it was like a sheet of white paper splashed with ink.
The originally brilliant green light of the Green Bamboo Ring dimmed instantly, and its aura quickly subdued.
Even though the dark light was released by his own hand, Li Fan still frowned slightly and backed away a little.
After putting away the Mo Dye Evil Book, he waited for a good half of the day before the blackness lingering on the Green Bamboo Ring gradually vanished.
A sense of discomfort came from the ancient trees of the Spirit Tree Realm.
"The dark light of the Mo Dye isn’t disappearing into thin air, but the world needs to spend some time to purify it. If the amount is too much, surpassing the processing limit, even the world can be thoroughly contaminated."
"Although it can’t achieve the effect of destroying a world, it can make the environment so vile and fetid that it’s unsuitable for cultivators to reside."
Li Fan slowly nodded.
He picked up the Green Bamboo Ring, which had been soaking in the dark light for a long time, and found it had lost all its function as a Magic Treasure. With just the strength of his flesh, he squeezed it gently, and the Green Bamboo Ring shattered piece by piece, scattering across the ground.
"Indeed, it specifically targets Magic Treasures."
"This will greatly reduce the effectiveness of Xuan Suchang’s Protective Battle Armor. Mo Rubing is indeed very considerate..."
Li Fan praised silently as he put away the Mo Dye Evil Book.
Time flew by, and the predicted moment of Shuo Feng’s meeting with Xuan Suchang was drawing near.
Without needing Li Fan to send anyone to surveil, Mo Rubing had already passed on the information about the several possible Cave Mansions.
Out of five locations, two were ruled out as possibilities.
Because cultivators had already begun making preparations in advance at the remaining three Cave Mansions.
With their esteemed status, the Xuan Family was accustomed to better days. Every time they arrive at a location, although there’s no need for explicit instructions, their subordinate cultivators would make sure to take care of all aspects in advance to avoid displeasing their master. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Since the three Cave Mansions had not been finally decided on, preparations were made for all of them.
After all, for the Xuan Family, these consumed materials were a mere drop in the bucket.
Being perennial high-ranking members of the Immortal Alliance, they might have never even considered the possibility that someone would dare to strike against the Xuan Family.
The so-called confidentiality work was only symbolically done and was almost equal to none.
"You can’t blame them, maybe even Xuan Suchang himself disdains the so-called security measures."
Li Fan smiled, a flash of fierceness briefly appearing in his eyes.
He called over Tianyang, Lin Ling, and Daoist Baihua, informing them of their target for this operation.
"You just need to cooperate with me."
Li Fan passed on to them a set of Array Techniques, asking them to familiarize themselves and practice during the waiting period.
"When the four of us join forces to deploy this array, it is sufficient to seal off an entire region."
"No entry or exit. All connections between inside and outside are severed; there can be no communication."
"Those who are locked by the array technique will also be subjected to a pressure equivalent to the sum of our divine soul power, significantly reducing their strength."
"The risk involved in this operation is not high, and we need a swift resolution."
Li Fan stated simply.
"Envoy, this set of array techniques is truly extraordinary. Even among the remaining worlds of our time, it would be hard to find any comparable," exclaimed Daoist Baihua, unable to contain his astonishment after the initial trial and testing of the array’s power.
A trace of fear flickered in Lin Ling’s eyes as well.
Only Tianyang remained foolish and unaffected.
Li Fan simply responded with a smile.
How could they have imagined that this seemingly overpowering array technique was nothing more than a tailor-made solution by the Final Separation Disk, which had been waiting for more than ten days, based on the intelligence gathered from Xuan Suchang and Shuo Feng?
Everything was ready, and Li Fan had also made contact with Mo Rubing.
The God Demon Avatar that he controlled had also arrived just outside Tianquan Province to meet up with them.
To the three Unity-Path following behind Li Fan, Mo Rubing only paused briefly on Daoist Baihua before closing his eyes with a careless demeanor.
"If they were to meet inside the walls of the Immortal Alliance’s Heavenly City, it would indeed be somewhat troublesome."
"But because they disdain the simplicity of the cave mansions inside the city, they’ve grown accustomed to living in the natural cave mansions outside..."
"Heh, indulgence in luxury leads them on a path to their own demise," Mo Rubing transmitted privately, his tone dripping with undisguised disdain and murderous intent.
"The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, they are all the same."
"The Dharma Transmitter you have taken over is even more so," Li Fan responded with a weird laugh.
"It seems it’s about time to give the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals a wake-up call," Mo Rubing snorted coldly.
In the last two days, based on the fluctuating personnel movements around the three cave mansions, they finally locked in on their target.
Within a bamboo sea that spanned thousands of miles.
Li Fan and his group lay hidden in the sky above, looking down at the stretch of greenery that continued to the horizon, each with a different expression.
Daoist Baihua perhaps caught a glimpse of his own now-destroyed hometown, a trace of wistfulness in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Lin Ling was surveying the Bamboo Sea, trying to find if there was another spirit like her within.
Mo Rubing and Li Fan still exchanged cold jibes: "They really do know how to enjoy themselves."
"This place will be more than suitable to be their final resting place."
During the interval while lying in ambush, waiting for Xuan Suchang to arrive, a small twist occurred.
A voice of sincere prayer suddenly appeared in Li Fan’s spirit consciousness.
Mo Rubing seemed to sense something as well, giving Li Fan a look and slightly furrowing his brows.
"It’s nothing to worry about." Li Fan put on an appearance of realization, signaling to Mo Rubing to be at ease.
He then proceeded to check the images in his spirit consciousness.
It was Dao Xuanzi, a member of the United Federation of All Realms whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.
Previously, Li Fan had hinted at the general location of the Ocean Pearl to them, and after years of waiting and searching, they had finally found it.
Using the method to re-establish the Path, they reconstructed the Earth’s Oddities Tao Foundation.
The strong fluctuation of faith just now was Dao Xuanzi’s heartfelt gratitude to the Crimson Compassionate Immortal after his successful Foundation Establishment.
Li Fan noticed that the Golden Willpower that appeared out of thin air in his Tribulation Body had subtle differences compared to what he had received before.
