He pretended as if nothing was happening and collected the nine Dissociation Discs.
Li Fan started to enquire about the details of collaborating with the Mirror Handler Cang.
"Cang, this guy, is really quite interesting. If you hadn’t mentioned it beforehand, I would never have guessed that he had already become a slave to the Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror," Mo Rubing said, shaking his head slightly.
"However, with his clandestine cooperation, the plan to persuade the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals to construct the Great Array and obtain complete control over the Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror went much smoother."
"But the most critical aspect still depends on you, Brother Xingwang. You’re the one who can help the Tianxuan Mirror break free from the Array Technique that imprisons it by the Celestial Dharma Bearer..."
"Are you really confident about it?" Mo Rubing asked with a trace of doubt.
Li Fan didn’t immediately give a guarantee.
Instead, after pondering in silence for a moment, he slowly said, "It shouldn’t be a big problem. This little thing that you just gave to me does indeed seem to be much stronger than the previous Birthless Array Crown."
"However, just to play it safe, if possible, you’d better gather more information about the Forbidden Formations left by the Dharma Transmitter."
Feeling that it was only reasonable, Mo Rubing readily agreed on the spot.
"By the way, I have recently encountered something that you might find interesting." After the two exchanged some details that needed attention during the future implementation of their plan, Mo Rubing suddenly said before they parted ways.
"Oh?" Li Fan paused in his steps.
"Didn’t you divide a million of your demonic thoughts, occupy many cultivator bodies, and cause quite a commotion before?" Mo Rubing said with enthusiasm.
"Ah?" Li Fan, however, appeared completely puzzled as if he had completely forgotten about this matter.
It was only after Mo Rubing’s explanation that he pretended to nod his head, seemingly starting to remember.
"These cultivators have had their consciousnesses completely destroyed, leaving only their bodies. However, since they are involved with the operation of the Floating Star Space Array, they couldn’t be executed directly. So at that time, all of these people were imprisoned."
"The original plan was to keep these cultivators in a state where their bodies remained alive and their consciousnesses vanished forever. But later, after some discussion, we thought that the number in the millions was too many. After all, among them, there were quite a few cultivators above the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm. As long as they are alive, they occupy Cave Heavens and resources such as the Change of Life. This means that in the future, the normal number of cultivators in the Xuanhuang World will be permanently reduced by that amount."
"So after much deliberation, we decided to only keep half a million and seal them forever."
"As for the remaining half a million..." Mo Rubing paused slightly when he reached the crucial point.
"Did you kill them all? No, I didn’t feel any trembles in the Xuanhuang World," Li Fan responded in cooperation.
A hint of interest flashed in Mo Rubing’s eyes: "The Immortal Alliance actually possesses a technique that allows them to extract the Cave Heavens within cultivators, the Change of Life, and even the Essence of Heaven and Earth, and then return them to the Heavenly Earth."
"Hmm?" Li Fan’s eyes lit up sharply upon hearing this, "How is that different from naturally Returning to the heavens after a cultivator’s demise?"
Mo Rubing explained, "After a cultivator dies and Returns to the heavens, it may take many years before they are reborn within Heaven and Earth. Also, those Cave Heavens and the Essence of Heaven and Earth will undergo corresponding changes during the operation of the world."
"But this technique called [The Sealing of Fate] by the Immortal Alliance is different. Within half a day at most, the resources of Heaven and Earth consumed by the cultivators will be extracted completely and returned to the Primordial Yellow Heavenly Earth."
"However, although it is called Returning to the heavens, it is different from natural evolution. The key point is that the Immortal Alliance has prepared a new place for these extracted resources of Heaven and Earth."
Mo Rubing’s tone contained a touch of awe, clearly impressed by this ingenious idea: "This place is located within the Element Devouring White Fog at the intersection of the Central Four States of the Immortal Alliance, connected yet separate from the Xuanhuang World. It is still under the control of the Profound Yellow Celestial Way but has been modified so that the Immortal Alliance can have greater control over it."
"You mean, these extracted and stored resources of Heaven and Earth can be reactivated at any time?" Li Fan thought for a moment and then showed slight astonishment.
Because the implications behind this were truly frightening.
"Exactly. This means that the Immortal Alliance, if they wish, can swiftly utilize these resources to create a new force of cultivators. However, that’s not the main point. The Immortal Alliance has many other means to achieve the same end."
"What’s more crucial is that the Immortal Alliance can expand this Domain indefinitely and, over time, slowly collect the part of Heaven and Earth resources consumed by all the cultivators in the world," Mo Rubing outlined a chilling scenario.
"Just think about the consequences if this action is successfully executed. By then, perhaps even Cultivating Immortality will require the [Permission] of the Immortal Alliance. The Immortal Alliance won’t need ordinary cultivators to sustain the survival of the Xuanhuang World. Most likely, a large number of cultivators will be turned into mortals..."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
"The Immortal Alliance even has this kind of method up their sleeve," Li Fan’s expression darkened.
"Heh, brother, you needn’t worry too much. Under the opinions of Dharma Transmitter Jiang and more than half of the Dharma Transmitters, the use of this Sealing of Fate has been strictly limited. After all, it’s too dangerous. If not properly controlled, it could cause a future where Cultivating Immortality is monopolized," Mo Rubing quickly reassured him.
"I think that Dharma Transmitter Jiang is quite good. He truly considers the cultivators of the world. As for those Dharma Transmitters who hold opposing views, I believe many of them are wary of the presence of the Five Elders Organization’s authority. After all, if the number of cultivators is truly too low, if a full-scale war with the Five Elders Organization breaks out and only the power provided by [The Sage of Illusion and Reality] is available, it would probably not be a match," Mo Rubing analyzed.
"As for the one who developed the [Sealing of Fate], the Dharma Transmitter Zheng is very dissatisfied with the Council’s decision. This lad, having held power for too long, now believes that the cultivators of the world are unnecessary and would be better off turned into mortals, no better than pigs and dogs. Hehehe..."
"But that’s just relying on the power of Law Transmission. If I were to encounter Dharma Transmitter Zheng..." A mysterious light flickered in Li Fan’s eyes.
"Brother Xingwang must not be careless. This Dharma Transmitter Zheng does have some real talent. After all, he was able to develop such a nefarious art of Sealing of Fate..." Mo Rubing warned with some seriousness, "You didn’t see the tragic state of those cultivators when they were Sealed of Fate."
Mo Rubing sighed with some regret: "Even with my experiences, it’s a little hard to bear looking at it directly. And this is when they are in a state of ignorance and unawareness. If the cultivators’ consciousness still remained and the Sealing of Fate were still carried out..."
"It would probably surpass all the cruelest tortures throughout the ages!"
Mo Rubing sighed, thus concluding.
