NOVPUBLi Fan, however, was not irritated.
In his hand emerged a cluster of pure, extreme Seven-Colored Radiance.
It enveloped the one-eyed little figure within.
This Seven-color Divine Light, which Li Fan had been continuously and intentionally compressing,
was practically about to merge into a single color.
It turned into a dazzling white light.
It was as if he had an extra sun in his hand, illuminating the entire void around him with a blinding incandescence.
The yellow paper man in the white light seemed to become somewhat distorted due to the tremendous pressure squeezing it.
But Li Fan continued to increase the output of the Seven-color Divine Light.
With the Five Elements Cave Heaven providing supplementation, even the damaged Colored Jade Hollow Glare was able to exert the greatest extent of its intrinsic power.
The Seven-color Divine Light did not belong to the Xuanhuang World.
Once it commenced condensing, it began to repel all other elements.
The yellow one-eyed paper man seemed to finally sense the crisis.
Its eye rotated rapidly, looking at Li Fan.
It appeared to have the intention to communicate.
But Li Fan completely ignored it.
Without the slightest intention of ceasing, he once again intensified the output power of the Seven-color Divine Light.
Finally, when a speck of white radiance was refined to the limit,
it was like the violent explosion at the dawn of creation; within the blazing flames, the yellow talisman paper was completely incinerated.
The weight that had been pressing on his heart finally lifted, Li Fan let out a long sigh of relief and slowly retracted the Seven-color Divine Light back into his body.
He had only recently advanced to Nascent Soul and had not thoroughly refined the Colored Jade Hollow Glare.
The action just now had actually been somewhat of an overload for Li Fan.
However, finally destroying this method of the Calamity Transcendence Sect made it worthwhile.
"Eternal Cataclysm, seeking those destined for tribulation."
"It seems that the yellow one-eyed paper man is their method of searching for those destined for tribulation,"
"Not for naught is the sect than, according to legend, uses [Calamities] as fuel for its cultivation; ordinary spells can’t even touch these paper figures, let alone destroy them."
"..."
"I still have no idea where this group of old foxes is hiding."
Li Fan slightly furrowed his brows.
After much thought, he still had no clue.
He decided to put the matter aside for the time being.
The Five Elements Great Cave Heaven had been devoured into his body by Li Fan, so the altered transportation portal naturally became ineffective.
At this moment, Li Fan was actually within the void of Sky-spirit State.
When he concealed his presence, tore through the void, and returned to the Xuanhuang World in an instant,
a chilling sensation suddenly surged from his heart.
Li Fan raised his head to look into the heavens and earth.
Whether it was his imagination or not, Li Fan seemed to see countless yellow talisman-paper one-eyed little figures.
Scattering across every corner of the Xuanhuang World.
Unnoticed by anyone, they stared with their solitary eyes, observing the world in silence.
The moment Li Fan tore through the void to return to the Xuanhuang World, they seemed to sense the culprit who had destroyed one of their own.
They all rotated their eyes, looking towards Li Fan!
Locked by thousands of gazes, Li Fan’s body stiffened for a moment.
Nevertheless, before he could even openly react in his spirit consciousness, those gazes naturally vanished.
From beginning to end, it was as though it had all been Li Fan’s illusion.
As his rigid body gradually returned to normal, Li Fan’s expression did not ease.
He knew that the scene that had just momentarily unfolded was not any illusion.
It was truly real.
The Xuanhuang World within had actually been filled with eyes by the people of the Calamity Transcendence Sect!
And this was done almost without anyone’s knowledge! 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
Li Fan couldn’t help but recall the time when he was still a mortal, at the edge of the Da Xuan Abyss.
He was almost bewitched by the illusory realm within the abyss and about to fall off the cliff.
Yet, he was startled awake by the illusion all of a sudden.
He escaped a tribulation.
Does this mean…
Even the Profound Realm had been infiltrated and fixed with a Yellow One-eyed Paper Man?
The thought that all his actions had likely been clearly observed by a cultivator from the Calamity Transcendence Sect lurking behind the scenes sent a chill through Li Fan’s heart.
But having been through so much, he did not lose his composure.
After some analysis, he gradually calmed down.
One thing he could ascertain was that the range each Yellow One-eyed Paper Man could monitor was not very large.
Otherwise, there would be no need for such a large number of talismans to cover the entire Xuanhuang World.
Secondly, other than surveillance, these talismans from the Calamity Transcendence Sect probably had no other function.
The Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance and the Five Elders Organization definitely knew about the existence of these yellow talismans.
But destroying them would not be an easy task.
So most likely they would choose to turn a blind eye to them.
"No wonder the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance headquarters were built inside the Tianxuan Mirror and not within the Xuanhuang World."
"It must be partly to avoid these pesky Yellow Paper Men."
"And Sister Zhao’s One-Heart Immortal Sect is also located in a separate space."
Li Fan recalled the encounter that almost led to his recruitment by the One-Heart Immortal Sect.
"This Calamity Transcendence Sect really has motherfucking low standards."
Through the cycle of reincarnation, Li Fan had encountered Mo Sha, the Celestial Doctor, Ruo Mu, Mr. Bai, and True Immortals.
Each time was fraught with danger, but he held these true powerhouses in awe.
And indeed, their actions lived up to their status as masters.
Even if Li Fan died by their hand due to a mistake,
he wouldn’t bear any grudge in his heart.
He would only feel that it was due to his own lack of caution and inferior skill.
But this time, Li Fan was truly disgusted.
Anyone would feel uneasy knowing that such a wonderful Xuanhuang World was plastered with talismans everywhere.
Even in the 114th life when the Net of the Profound descended, it was done openly and aboveboard.
The green sky, although somewhat strange,
was definitely much better than these densely packed plasters that filled Heaven and Earth!
Recalling that fleeting glimpse, a thought arose within Li Fan’s heart to thoroughly cleanse them away.
But…
It was merely a thought.
After so many years, if the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance had always allowed these paper men to exist,
it indicated that eradicating them completely was not an easy task.
After all, who would willingly live under someone else’s close watch every day?
"Calamity Transcendence Sect, Calamity Transcendence Sect…"
A fierce light flickered in Li Fan’s eyes.
For the first time, he harbored the thought of taking the initiative to strike at their doorstep.
"It seems other matters must be put aside for the time being."
"At the very least, this issue of being constantly monitored needs to be resolved first," Li Fan murmured to himself.
Simultaneously, a new doubt emerged in his heart.
What exactly did the people of the Calamity Transcendence Sect want to do?
He had experienced many outcomes in the Xuanhuang World,
even an apocalyptic one.
But no matter which direction the future of the Xuanhuang World took, he had never seen a real cultivator from the Calamity Transcendence Sect show themselves.
"Are they always waiting for the one destined to overcome tribulation to appear, for the tribulation to be completely passed?"
Feeling the faint, almost imperceptible gazes coming from Heaven and Earth,
Li Fan’s thoughts surged.
After a while, he took flight, heading toward Jiushan Province.
He needed to have a talk with the Five Elders Organization.
