NOVPUB"Indeed, I had misjudged before,"
"At first, I thought that the objects inside the Fishing Pond had been placed there when they were forged a thousand years ago."
"But the object I fished up last time was not made at that time."
"Instead, it came into existence within the last five hundred years."
Elder Stone Plate Fisherman opened his palm, revealing a curved, horn-like Black Jade.
"This is..." Li Fan couldn’t recognize it.
"[Conquest Horn]. An invention of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals; when blown, it can briefly draw upon the Heavenly Dao’s power of an entire region," Elder Stone Plate Fisherman said succinctly.
"The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals?" Li Fan was first startled, then his expression subtly changed.
He turned his head to look at the Fishing Pond, and his Spirit Consciousness was instantly flooded with thoughts.
"Have you realized? The objects within this Fishing Pond aren’t unchanging. They are replenished with new items from the outside world, not just from Xuanhuang, but even from other Immortal Cultivation Worlds."
"As we fish in the Starry Sky, it, too, is fishing the heavens..."
Elder Stone Plate Fisherman’s words confirmed the suspicions in Li Fan’s heart.
It was like a massive wave had been lifted, leaving his mind unable to calm for a long time.
Even though he had personally experienced the mystique of the Fishing Pond, he had not expected that he still did not comprehend its full scope.
"Is this the power of an Immortal Instrument?"
"It not only contains countless treasures but also doesn’t need to worry about running out."
That’s what Li Fan thought.
However, Elder Stone Plate Fisherman was concerned with something else.
His normally calm tone could not help but ripple with emotion: "This is the true ’Way of Fishing’."
"This Immortal Instrument is not simple at all."
"If I could master it, perhaps, I wouldn’t need its help to fish the heavens and find what I want," Elder Stone Plate Fisherman said with some excitement.
Li Fan fell silent.
Only then did he react.
The Tablet of Creation, such a miraculous object, how could it choose to attach to someone truly mediocre?
Elder Stone Plate Fisherman, with his new discovery, stopped fishing.
He also changed his appearance.
No longer in the guise of a fisherman, but now a baby that seemed to have just been born.
He began to sleep soundly by the edge of the pond.
Several more days passed, with no signs of him waking.
Li Fan shook his head and backed away.
"Even with Elder Stone Plate’s comprehension, understanding the ’Way of Fishing’ is likely not a matter of moments."
"And he just occupies the Fishing Pond, deterring anyone from disturbing."
Li Fan felt helpless in his heart.
He could only instruct Lin Ling to wait there and to contact him if there was any movement.
Li Fan then returned alone to the Spirit Tree Realm. 𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om
At this moment, he received secret news from the Five Elders Organization.
"To think even the rendezvous set by the Five Elders Organization was fake,"
"Elder Stone Plate really immerses himself when he acts," Li Fan reflected on the other’s tone and expression, shaking his head inwardly.
"Perhaps this is also one of his peculiar tastes. Fortunately, he’s not ill-tempered. He didn’t try to kill me over a disagreement."
During the past few days following Elder Stone Plate, aside from hearing some ancient and secret news,
The most important was to understand the essence of the conflict between the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization in the Xuanhuang World.
Li Fan pondered the other’s sighs.
"The Xuanhuang World is like a ship about to sink."
"The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization are vying for the ultimate control of the ship."
"They each have absolute confidence, believing they can free the Xuanhuang World from its doomed fate. But the condition is, there must be one final person in charge."
"Heh, just like the Immortal Dao Ten Clans of years past."
"It’s not that they are blinded by power, but rather that they want to escape and must mobilize and concentrate all the power of the realm. If someone inside plays both sides..."
"So, fighting and killing don’t matter. Once the existence of the Xuanhuang World is truly threatened, both sides will still join hands. Just like those traitors who returned 500 years ago."
Elder Stone Plate Fisherman, when speaking of those traitors, also rarely became fierce in tone.
"500 years ago should refer to the Small World launching a counterattack. However, these Small Worlds seem to be just puppets. The real mastermind behind them should be the cultivators who once betrayed the Xuanhuang World." In the Spirit Tree Realm, Li Fan truly became contemplative, cross-verifying the Elder Stone Plate Fisherman’s words with the secret news previously investigated.
"Worthy of being the bearer of the Tablet of Creation, you know too many secrets. It’s just a pity that the strength isn’t sufficient."
"How much one wishes to know all depends on the mood of the giver."
"Otherwise, one would definitely question them day and night."
Li Fan’s thoughts slowly turned.
From the perspective of Elder Stone Plate, many things Li Fan couldn’t see clearly, as if shrouded in mist, also became clear and understandable.
At that time, upon hearing the other party’s discourse on the struggle over the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and Five Elders Organization.
Li Fan couldn’t help but ask, "What about the Celestial Dharma Bearer then? What’s his attitude towards all of this?"
Elder Stone Plate Fisherman seemed to hear an extremely amusing joke.
He first laughed heartily as if no one else was present.
Then he answered, "Law Transmission?"
"Xuanhuang may sink..."
"But can Law Transmission fly?"
"He simply doesn’t care."
"However..."
The smile on Elder Stone Plate Fisherman’s face suddenly retreated.
"This is just my speculation."
"In reality, for Celestial Dharma Bearer, who regards the Xuanhuang World as his own private property, his attitude is also somewhat uncertain."
"Otherwise, he could have left long ago in all these years."
The voice of Elder Stone Plate Fisherman gradually weakened until it was inaudible.
...
"Law Transmission can fly."
"Indeed, He has already been able to ignore the effects of the Immortal Ruins and leave on His own." Li Fan silently mused.
"I wonder, just how strong must one be to escape Xuanhuang?"
"Perhaps..."
"I could give it a try."
The idea suddenly surged in Li Fan’s heart.
Although within the Xuanhuang World, apart from the Celestial Dharma Bearer, none of those in the Immortal Realm had a precedent of escaping.
But Xuanhuang Longevity is bound to the world.
It’s possible that it’s not because their power isn’t enough, but due to the backlash from the binds.
Just like Elder Stone Plate.
"Moreover, it’s not necessary to rely solely on one’s own power. One can also use external forces."
Li Fan recalled the numerous spires that stood on the Xuanyuan Land in the 114th generation.
"Having achieved Nascent Soul with the Five Elements Primordial Cave Heaven, if I combine the Five Elements and fuse them into a new world."
"And build spires on top of the land, using the thrust..."
"There might be a possibility of escaping the Xuanhuang World."
In fact, Li Fan, who is [Real], had no intention of fighting Xuanhuang World to the death.
If possible, finding another Immortal Cultivation World would definitely be far better than staying in this cursed place.
After all, nothing strange about occurrences in a nearly sunken Xuanhuang World.
Throughout his journey, Li Fan had also encountered too many demons and monstrous spirits.
"A kind of attempt, to tackle the problem on two fronts."
Li Fan quietly started to scheme in his heart.
