However, this man had a special identity; he was a direct descendant of the Dharma Transmitter Sun.
Under normal circumstances, with such a background, he should not have been thrown into the Dark Prison.
But the crime he committed publicly this time was somewhat too severe.
As everyone knows, the Immortal Alliance is organizing the second flight of Rainbow Light to escape to the depths of the Star Sea.
And the Kongming Flow Crystal is a key resource required to achieve this goal.
Following overt and covert concessions, it was agreed to split the spots for this Rainbow Light flight equally among the Immortal Alliance Combination, regardless of the background, the Immortal Alliance also took this opportunity to reassert the scarcity of Kongming Flow Crystals.
They began to use various means, including fishing law enforcement, to retrieve the privately hoarded flow crystals from major families.
And the Dharma Transmitter descendant named Sun Wanyun was caught red-handed privately buying a large amount of Kongming Flow Crystals.
The cultivator in charge of this arrest operation was, of course, well aware of Sun Wanyun’s identity. Yet under public scrutiny, they had to put on appearances. So, they had no choice but to arrest him.
The initial plan was to quietly release him afterward, but someone unknown was fanning the flames from behind.
In less than half a day, the news that Sun Wanyun was arrested by the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals in a fair and unemotional manner had already quietly spread.
Many people even praised Dharma Transmitter Sun for abiding by the Rules of the Immortal Alliance and for his willingness to sacrifice family for justice.
With the situation having escalated to this point, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals could hardly slap themselves in the face. Moreover, Kongming Flow Crystals were indeed too important, so Sun Wanyun was duly thrown into the Dark Prison.
But after all, being a direct descendent of a Dharma Transmitter, nobody knew when he might be released. So, of course, he had some privileges in the Dark Prison.
"This person should be an appropriate breakout point."
"Just by visiting him under the guise of a visit, and handing over the object blessed by The Emperor..."
Thinking so, Sun Luyuan came to the Immortal Alliance Headquarters where Sun Wanyun was temporarily held.
At first glance, he was somewhat taken aback.
It turned out there were quite a few "clever people" who knew when to provide timely help.
The entrance was crowded with cultivators who had come to visit, bustling with activity. One could hardly tell that this was the treatment of a serious criminal of the Immortal Alliance about to be thrown into the Dark Prison. The scene was indeed a bit ironic.
Although sharing the Sun surname, Sun Luyuan had no blood relation to either Dharma Transmitter Sun or Sun Wanyun; they merely had some passing acquaintance.
Head of Sun Family, Sun Luyuan, renowned and prominent to outsiders, could only line up honestly at the front door.
Meanwhile, in the underground secret chamber of the Sun family,
Li Fan’s split was mercilessly mocking Sun Luyao.
"I told you long ago that your brother will not let you out. How about it?"
"You were brought out before because you occasionally went mad and were constantly at risk of dying should the Immeasurable Mirror lose control."
"Now, with the help of this old man’s adjustments, the source of the Immeasurable Mirror’s outburst, the Obliteration Storm Calamity, is gradually being removed, and your performance is becoming more and more stable."
"You are now an Immortal Instrument and all the more related to the Sun family’s hope of rising. How could your brother easily let you out? What if you were to be kidnapped, what then?"
Sun Luyao listened to Li Fan’s sarcasm without saying a word.
Only his reflection in the mirror was distorted, highlighting his inner discontent.
"Elder..."
After a long silence, he wisely sought Li Fan’s help.
Sun Luyao knew that this mysterious being in front of him would not say so much just to mock him.
"Hehe. You’ve become quite clever, kid."
Li Fan chuckled with a cold laugh.
As he spoke, he transformed his hands into a pair of large ones and grabbed towards Sun Luyao’s head.
Sun Luyao was startled, yet he endured and did not dodge.
The dark giant hand enveloped him, and the Immeasurable Mirror began to shake violently.
A shadow was pulled out of Sun Luyao’s body by Li Fan.
With a gentle wave, the shadow floated out of the Immeasurable Mirror and began to fuse with a pile of material that had appeared out of thin air in the secret room.
In no time, another Immeasurable Mirror, appearing identical, emerged in front of Sun Luyao.
Being the spirit of the Immeasurable Mirror, Sun Luyao was of course more than familiar with this Immortal Instrument.
Yet even he couldn’t distinguish the item before him from the Immortal Instrument he was embodied in!
With a heart full of doubt and amazement, Sun Luyao flew into the imitation and found it was just an empty shell; he then returned, filled with excitement.
"Elder, your abilities are truly unfathomable! To replicate an Immortal Instrument so accurately, no less!" Sun Luyao flattered.

"Hmph, it’s just all show and no substance."
Li Fan said coldly, "You just need to split another portion of your divine sense and hide it in this mirror. With my craftsmanship as a base, and with your blessing, it will definitely be enough to deceive your brother."
Seeing that freedom was within reach, Sun Luyao did not hesitate at all, enduring the intense pain of his divine soul being sliced and differentiating another divine sense.
When Sun Luyao’s divine sense entered the counterfeit Immeasurable Mirror, there were no longer any flaws to speak of in this forged divine instrument.
Because, in a certain sense, it could be considered a clone of the real Immeasurable Mirror. Although it was just an empty shell, as long as the Immeasurable Mirror existed, it could at any time synchronize the information that the original had probed.
"Senior, can we sneak out now?" 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Looking at the substitute floating quietly in the air, Sun Luyao asked impatiently.
"Fool! What do you mean by sneaking out?"
"This is called, ’The ocean is vast for fish to leap, the sky is high for birds to soar!’"
Li Fan’s split laughed wildly, wrapping around the Immeasurable Mirror and turning into a black line, ignoring the layers of forbidden formations personally set by Sun Luyuan, and in a blink of an eye, he was out of the Sun Family.
Seeing the blue sky above his head again, Sun Luyao was exhilarated.
"Senior, where are we going?"
"As we discussed before, to find the lost Immortal Instruments of the Xuanhuang World?"
Even without a physical body, Sun Luyao still took a deep breath of the air of freedom and then cautiously inquired of Li Fan.
"Immortal Instruments... Not urgent." Li Fan simply said.
Seeing that the other party did not elaborate, Sun Luyao did not dare to inquire further.
He could only be led hurriedly to the south of the Xuanhuang World.
Seven days later, sensing the surging energy fluctuations ahead, Sun Luyao suddenly became spirited.
"Is that..."
The Endless Ocean, where fierce currents converged at a central point.
The Big Wind howled and crackled.
The brutality of the furious storm even tore through the space, startling thunder and lightning.
Next to the huge whirlpool, which seemed to gather the waters of the world, were the conspicuously distinct island chains, resembling long dragons.
This distinctive spectacle instantly let Sun Luyao know where he was.
"The Great Vortex of Realm Rending!"
He blurted out.
Although he had already learned of this natural wonder of heaven and earth from the countless pieces of information probed by the Tianxuan Mirror,
being there in person was profoundly different from the experience.
"Such surging currents, such insane brutality of the Big Wind..."
"Merely the light and shadow of information, how could they represent even a fraction of it?"
Since his youth, he had been trapped in a small mirror, never to see the splendid spectacles of the world again.
The grand spectacle before him stirred Sun Luyao’s emotions, making him feel as if he were once again the impassioned young man he used to be.
"Making such a fuss, you really are inexperienced."
Li Fan clicked his tongue with an odd sound, pulling Sun Luyao back from his continuous amazement.
"Done with your marveling? Now it’s time to get serious."
With a light point towards the Immeasurable Mirror, Sun Luyao’s phantom was instantly sucked into it.
Moments later, the mirror uncontrollably emitted a ghostly light.
It aimed at the nearby Great Vortex of Realm Rending.
The body of the Immeasurable Mirror vibrated slightly, and countless images cascaded inside.
Li Fan merely squinted, silently waiting for the changes within.
"Immeasurable, Primordial Aspect Formation."
"With this Great Array as the core, the Immeasurable Mirror, in theory, should be able to decode all secrets of the world."
"Although it is now damaged, unraveling the mysteries of this ’Rift Realm’ should not be a difficult task."
"After all, the might of the original realm-rending was too vast. So much time has passed, and the wounds it left on the Xuanhuang World have not yet healed."
