Teenagers, their blood running strong, are at an age most easily swayed.
And Shang Tianci, having been subjected to Li Fan’s "Transfer Blood Lineage" technique, trusted him completely.
What kind of person was Li Fan? Even as a mortal, he could easily deceive a good number of people into willingly risking their lives for him.
So it didn’t take much effort for Li Fan to successfully brainwash Shang Tianci.
"The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals is rotten to the core. We cultivators must take it upon ourselves to overthrow it," said Li Fan.
"Only then will the beautiful era of freely accessible techniques truly begin!"
Shang Tianci felt his blood boiling with a sense of supreme mission he had never experienced before.
As for what to do after overthrowing the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
and whether it was really possible for cultivators to freely access techniques,
these were no longer within the scope of his considerations.
"The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals is mighty, and our strength is still very weak. We must proceed cautiously," said Li Fan.
"The first thing to do is to unite all the forces that can be united, such as the Xuanhuang Cave Heaven, the world..."
Shining light gleamed in Shang Tianci’s eyes, "A union of all realms, brilliant!"
Li Fan continued to instill various ideas in him.
This process was suddenly interrupted by an ominous and oppressive atmosphere.
Both looked up at the same time, gazing into the distance.
Heavenly Prison Mountain, the highest among the mountains of Jiushan.
Thus, their line of sight could cross the majority of the state region, to see a dense swarm of cultivators suddenly emerging on the border.
"That is..." Shang Tianci said in a terrified voice.
Their attire was markedly different from that of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.
Clearly, they belonged to another major force in Xuanhuang World, the Five Elders Organization.
"This is bad. The enemy invades. I must immediately..."
Shang Tianci was about to transport himself using the Heavenly Scenery Treasure Gourd when, after searching, he couldn’t find his gourd.
He then remembered that his gourd was still in Li Fan’s possession.
"Senior!"
He was about to say something when Li Fan pressed a hand against him.
"The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals is corrupt. The Five Elders Organization isn’t any better," Li Fan said.
"The five Heavenly Sovereigns, reversing the Principle of Heaven and Earth, deceiving the residents within their jurisdiction."
"The fiercer they fight, the more it benefits us."
"It’s the so-called strategy of watching the tigers fight from the safety of the mountains," Li Fan’s voice was extremely grim.
Initially hesitant, Shang Tianci, after careful consideration, eventually fell silent.
The moment the Five Elders’ Monks appeared on the lands of Jiushan Province,
chaos suddenly erupted in various places across Jiushan.
Many cultivators dressed in the garments of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals suddenly rebelled and began attacking Jiushan Town.
And it seemed that as time passed, the number of rebellious cultivators only increased.
"Look, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals has lost the people’s hearts. As soon as someone rises in revolt and calls to arms, countless others will immediately respond!" Li Fan seized the opportunity to comment.
Seeing this scene, Shang Tianci slowly nodded.
In truth, the Five Elders Organization wasn’t entirely worthless.
At the very least, this sudden attack demonstrated their organizational capabilities.
In just a half-day’s time, the vast region of Jiushan Province had fallen into their hands.
The rapid advance of the Five Elders’ forces, while managing Jiushan Town, continued moving towards the last stronghold of Tian Chang Mountain.
The battlefield was chaos.
Li Fan and Shang Tianci, the two of them hidden atop Heavenly Prison Mountain, were not discovered by others for a short while.
As the most important stronghold in Jiushan, the city of Tian Chang was not only guarded by an Integration Cultivator,
but also had the presence of Wanfa Commerce.
If Wanfa Commerce helped with the defense, there was a chance of holding out until Alliance reinforcements arrived.
But clearly, Wanfa Commerce was waiting to see how the wind blew.
From start to finish, none of their personnel took part in the battle.
And the Tian Chang Integration Cultivator, facing a Unity Siege from three of the Five Elders’ side, was already struggling to keep up.
"It seems the Alliance’s defeat is certain. It’s time for us to leave," said Li Fan, who had been watching the fight, suddenly rising.
"However, before we go, we must leave something behind to prove we were here."
"Tianyang!"
Li Fan threw a Jade Scroll over to him.
Upon receiving the order, Tianyang caught the Jade Scroll and clenched it tightly in his hand.
Then, he hurled it mightily towards the direction of Tian Chang Mountain.
But it wasn’t just the Jade Scroll that was flying towards its destination.
It also included Tianyang’s entire hand!
Following the hand, a red and black tail flame burst forth.
The speed suddenly increased by a fraction.
Like a shooting star, it quickly soared across the skies of Jiushan Province, heading straight for its target.
"Let’s go!"
Li Fan patted Shang Tianci on the shoulder, didn’t speak, but simply returned the Heavenly Scenery Treasure Gourd.
Shang Tianci had a feeling and instantly understood the other’s meaning.
With a thought, a peculiar fluctuation enveloped them both in an instant.
A moment later, the two figures vanished from the top of Heavenly Prison Mountain!
Above The Wall of Tian Chang.
Three Five Elders’ Monks from the Unity-Path, who were in the midst of besieging the Guardian of Tian Chang and the Green Jade Immortal Venerable, suddenly shifted in expression.
Their gazes turned to the ball of fierce fire flying rapidly towards them.
"What’s that?"
They had initially thought it to be a powerful countermeasure from the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.
However, upon scanning it with Divine Sense, they discovered that within the ball of fire was hidden a Jade Scroll!
The three did not communicate, but their actions were unexpectedly unanimous.
A Integration Cultivator dressed in hemp, resembling a middle-aged farmer, intercepted the Jade Scroll.
After a thorough examination, the three cultivators simultaneously narrowed their eyes.
"United Federation of All Realms?"
"They’ve helped us solve the crisis of leaked information?"
"A method that can significantly reduce the impact of the Element Devouring White Fog and allow us to march through the fog?"
The contents of the Jade Scroll might have been scant, but the information it conveyed was tremendous.
Their Divine Senses swept across Jiushan Province in an instant, but they couldn’t find the shadow of the person who had thrown the scroll.
"They do have some tricks."
All three exhibited a very interested look on their faces.
...
In Taihua State.
Li Fan and Shang Tianci appeared unexpectedly on Taixu Mountain, one of Taihua Ten Veins.
"This Heavenly Scenery Gourd of yours is truly remarkable."
"It seems to utilize the Power of Ley Lines for instantaneous spatial travel?"
Li Fan savored the process of space traversal he had just experienced, marveling in admiration.
"No, rather than the Power of Ley Lines, it’s more like it was achieved through direct intervention with Xuanhuang World Power."
Li Fan suddenly recalled the scene he had witnessed before, where Mr. Bai "casually" walked around.
He had an inkling in his heart.
Although Mr. Bai had perished, the various "abilities" that existed in the Xuanhuang World had not disappeared as a result.
Instead, they had dispersed and were inherited by all sorts of so-called geniuses.
"However, even Mr. Bai who could integrate the mysteries of Xuanhuang was no match for the Celestial Dharma Bearer."
"Let alone these geniuses."
"At best, they would be considered as prime nourishment in the eyes of the Celestial Dharma Bearer!"
Li Fan pondered the thoughts of the Celestial Dharma Bearer.
Shang Tianci, however, was oblivious to this.
He continued to show off his double gourds to Li Fan as if to brag: "My born companion wonders are two gourds."
"One purple, one green."
"You’ve seen the green one, which can record locations and then travel freely."
"As for this Purple Gourd..."
