NOVPUBHowever, regarding the law transmission and rebirth, whether they could find him, Li Fan was still very confident that he wouldn’t be found.
Not to mention the True Immortal Puppet was so intricately crafted that it slightly surpassed the countless concealing array techniques of the Reverse Life and Death Array.
The Frozen Ocean of Death had never been visited before this time.
Yet the True Immortal Remnant was able to pinpoint its location accurately.
Just this fact alone was enough to make the rebirth suspicious.
"According to common sense, he should have locked his target on those old acquaintances he might have known over the years."
"Even if he wanted to investigate me, there was simply no way to begin."
"The only loophole is that the method of transfer of the True Immortal Puppet is the Power of Darkness."
"And apart from the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, the only other places I had been to are the United Federation of All Realms..."
At this thought, Li Fan couldn’t help but shiver.
At the level of the Celestial Dharma Bearer, actions no longer needed evidence for "speculation."
As long as there was a sliver of possibility, it was enough for him to make a decision.
"Since I had just reviewed everything, there were hardly any forces in the Xuanhuang World capable of this act. Therefore, by thinking from their perspective, if I simply annihilate all of them, I could prevent dangers before they arise..."
"It might seem unreasonable, but it is the way of a tyrant."
With those thoughts, Li Fan’s heart pounded fiercely.
He almost immediately made a decision.
In the Spirit Tree Realm, all defensive array techniques were activated at full power.
All cultivators of the United Federation of All Realms were ready to fight at any moment.
He gathered all major personnel, including the Celestial Mechanism World, Medicine King Sect, and Empire Minor World, and explained the severity of the situation.
Artisan, Liu Ruchen, and the others all changed their expressions slightly.
"Isn’t this too irrational? Merely because we possess the capability to execute the Dharma Transmitters, they want to exterminate us just because they can’t find the murderer?"
"Is the Envoy being too pessimistic? I doubt the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals would act so rashly, right?"
The crowd discussed fervently, but seeing Li Fan’s increasingly grim expression, they all instantly chose to remain silent.
"Having sought the protection of the Crimson Compassionate Immortal, I have almost confirmed this matter."
"There is no need to doubt, just be prepared beforehand. There is no room for easing in this battle," Li Fan said coldly.
Hearing this, everyone’s faces turned utterly pale.
"Our only chance lies in our resistance being strong enough."
"They are seeking revenge for the three Dharma Transmitters by waging war against us, but if we can bring them more than just the loss of those three..."
"They might actually have some reservations," Li Fan motivated further.
"Although the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals is powerful, they can’t possibly muster the full strength of the Alliance to attack us."
"Moreover, we have the geographical advantage. The Spirit Tree Realm is as secure as a fortified city covered with countless array techniques and has barriers from the Celestial Mechanism World."
"Lastly, we can also mobilize the power of the Ghost Realm, striking the enemy unexpectedly with a dark tide..."
Li Fan said confidently, "As long as we can withstand the initial and most fierce waves of attacks, we should be able to weather this crisis."
Although Li Fan said this, the faces of the people still showed no sign of optimism.
All of them left with heavy hearts to prepare for battle.
The Spirit Tree Realm was already completely sealed; despite any thoughts of fleeing, escape was impossible.
They had no choice but to fight to the death.
Meanwhile, on Li Fan’s end...
In the underground secret chamber...
A Sacred Embryo identical to Li Fan was rapidly taking shape.
With the divine power of the Crimson Compassionate Immortal, the Sacred Embryo was forcibly elevated to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Then, the Sacred Embryo left the secret chamber and put on the Tianyang Battle Puppet.
As for Li Fan himself...
He left the Spirit Tree Realm quietly without anyone noticing, carrying nothing with him.
Knowing that the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals was going to attack the Spirit Tree Realm, how could Li Fan leave his original body behind to face them in a desperate fight?
For Li Fan, what United Federation of All Realms, what Spirit Tree Realm, what Celestial Mechanism Medicine King...
All were merely external objects, easily discarded at any time.
Only his own safety was of utmost importance.
As long as he could preserve his life and avoid this storm,
he would eventually transmit the law and in the relaxed vigilance thereafter, launch the extermination arrangement.
After all was restored, all he had lost would eventually return to his hands.
With Li Fan’s current ability to conceal himself, after leaving the Spirit Tree Realm, he fled swiftly, and from beginning to end, no one discovered his trace.
As for the place he planned to hide during this period, Li Fan had already decided on it.
"The so-called darkest place is under the candlestick, the most dangerous place is the safest place," he mused.
Before long, he had already arrived at his destination.
It was none other than the place from which he had extracted the Dharma Transmitter, the Immortal Alliance Hell!
"Hehe, am I not just throwing myself into the net?"
Li Fan chuckled self-mockingly.
"However, this so-called net of the Dark Prison cannot stop me."
After closely examining it, Li Fan had already deciphered the Array Technique enveloping the entrance of the Dark Prison.
Turning into a dim shadow, he quietly flew into it.
The scene before his eyes suddenly darkened.
It was somewhat similar to the scenery of the Ghost Realm.
There was no heaven and earth, only endless darkness met the eye.
But unlike the thorough darkness of the Ghost Realm, there was still some light here.
At least, his divine sense could barely make out the direction to move forward, not completely lost.
In the pitch-black endless space stood numerous high pillars of cages.
Each pillar seemed to be suppressing a prisoner.
On the surface of the pillars, images of various horrifying tortures continuously changed.
As for the prison guards of this Dark Prison, they were monstrous beings made of a black-mist-like unknown substance that floated around here.
They were innumerable, several times more than the high pillars in the space.
Occasionally, they emitted bursts of roaring sounds, flying into the pillars that held prisoners.
Before long, faint continuous screams of agony echoed within the cages.
After a long torment, these black mist monsters left the pillars contentedly.
This scene played out continuously in the Dark Prison, as if it had no end.
...
Li Fan watched this scene similar to purgatory, yet his expression remained unchanged.
After observing the composition of these cage pillars, he determined they were made using some kind of Array Technique.
His gaze flickered and he almost instantly broke through it.
Then he chose an empty one and actively crawled inside.
"Not bad."
After entering the black pillar, Li Fan looked around and found that inside the cage it was actually brighter than outside.
However, attacks from the Array Technique might fall at any time as a means of punishment.
Of course, these could not harm Li Fan.
"They probably could turn the Xuan Huang World upside down and still they would never imagine that I am hiding here," he thought.
"And when they have forgotten me, that will be my time to go out."
Li Fan felt as if he had returned home and comfortably settled down in the Dark Prison.
For him, the Spirit Tree Realm, the Dark Prison, there really was no essential difference.
