NOVPUB"Golden Chains Cleaving the Heavens?" Tianyang was somewhat stunned, but he quickly came to his senses after a moment.
"It seems there was indeed such a scene. However, I don’t really understand what it means and didn’t pay much attention to it."
Tianyang was more focused on the utilization of the spatial power contained within the Yellow Spring Spirit.
Li Fan, who knew even less about spatial abilities, was completely engrossed in those ancient secrets.
Like the blind men touching the elephant, each perceived it differently.
Li Fan then looked at the Yellow Spring Water here.
"This great river can be called the creation river of the Yin Soul Realm. But the cycle of life and death has already shattered, even if an immense power is added to it, the act of continuously evolving spirit bodies is destined to lead to the day it dries up."
"When the Yellow Spring dries up, countless spirit bodies will drift out..."
"Under normal circumstances, this process might take thousands to tens of thousands of years. When it happened prematurely during the 115th era, it’s very likely that the Three-eyed Skull was brought into the Yellow Spring Water for some reason."
"In order to revive, that skull absorbed all the power of the Yellow Spring Water."
The insights from his previous life along with investigations in this one led Li Fan to deduce the likely truth of what happened in this most remote affiliated Small World of Xuanhuang.
After pondering for a long time, Li Fan did not disturb the still flourishing Yellow Spring Water.
Before leaving with Tianyang, Li Fan silently thought, "If there are attempts to escape from the Xuanhuang World in this lifetime, perhaps the Yin Soul Realm is an excellent trial ground."
After traversing the lengthy space tunnel and spending nearly a month, Li Fan and Tianyang finally returned to the Xuanhuang World.
Half a year had passed, and the flames of war between the Five Elders Organization and the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals had been fully ignited.
But what Li Fan didn’t expect was that the one who initiated the conflict turned out to be the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, which had been at a disadvantage previously.
Their first strike caught the Five Elders Organization off guard, and they even conquered the lost territories of Jiushan Province in one fell swoop!
The barriers that the Five Elders Organization had built with great effort atop the Nine Mountain Ranges looked utterly like a joke!
Despite such a victory, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals unusually refrained from widespread propaganda.
The members of the Immortal Alliance only knew that good news kept coming from the front lines, but as for how the Alliance achieved such incredible victories, there were various speculations with no reliable conclusion.
Everyone guessed that it might have something to do with the previous [Thirty-three Immortal Selections] plan.
During this half-year, Ji Shaoli, who was stationed on Haixuan Island, also went to the small temple by the Fishing Pond, trying to learn the truth about the battle from Elder Stone Plate.
But the other party seemed to be immersed in the comprehension of the art of "fishing" and paid no attention whatsoever.
Due to the defeat at the front lines, the Five Elders Organization seemed to have also become somewhat distrustful of the [United Federation of All Realms].
Several attempts to actively contact them to understand the insider details of the war went unanswered.
Ji Shaoli had no choice but to put the matter on hold for the time being.
During this time, Lin Ling gradually became more familiar with Liuli.
Although Lin Ling was of the Unity-Path cultivation level, she was newly born and had the heart of a child, not putting on any airs of a senior.
She always took the initiative to play with Liuli.
Slowly, this caused the outwardly dazed but actually quite alert Little Daoist to lower her guard.
And as Li Fan saw Lin Ling again after spending time with Liuli daily, he keenly noticed.
This naturally born Spirit, who was once somewhat confused, seemed to have had an "awakening."
Or rather, she became more "human-like."
Li Fan looked at the Little Daoist hiding behind Lin Ling, deep in thought.
But for the moment, he did not concern himself with her, only instructing Lin Ling, "Come with me to the border of Jiushan Province."
If it had been before, Lin Ling would surely have agreed without asking any questions.
But this time, a trace of doubt flashed in Lin Ling’s eyes, and she hesitated to speak.
Li Fan’s gaze flickered, but he still simply explained, "I’ve made some new discoveries during my half-year absence. It might help with the current situation faced by the Five Elders Organization."
Only then did Lin Ling bid farewell to Liuli.
And then, leading Li Fan, they moved swiftly through the flowing earth’s leyline.
Soon, the two arrived at a remote area within Jiushan Province.
First they checked around, and after confirming there were no cultivators lying in ambush, they quietly emerged from underground.
Sweeping the area with their spiritual sense and looking at this "Jiushan Province," which felt both familiar and strangely foreign, Li Fan and Lin Ling both experienced a moment of distraction.
"I’m afraid Jiushan Province will have to be renamed after this."
Moments later, the regained Li Fan commented with a touch of emotion.
Above the vast lands of Jiushan Province, the nine magnificent mountain ranges that once stretched across it were completely erased by some unknown force.
The terrain, once treacherous and dangerous, had shockingly turned into a vast plain.
However, the area formed from the remains of an Exotic Beast named Tian was inherently unstable in space.
After having just undergone an earth-shaking battle, this instability had become even more pronounced.
Above the Sky Dome, black space cracks could be seen everywhere.
Flashing like lightning, they flickered in and out of existence.
"Maybe after Tianyang finishes his secluded cultivation and understanding, he could be brought here for a visit," Li Fan couldn’t help but think.
"Master, it seems there remains a kind of aura here that is extremely terrifying."
Lin Ling’s focus was different from Li Fan’s.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then spoke with a trace of trepidation.
"To inspire fear even in a Unity-Path being, it must be the force of the Immortal Realm. Coupled with the astonishing sight of Jiushan being leveled to the ground..."
"Could it have been the Law Transmission who made a move?"
But Li Fan quickly dismissed this speculation.
"Unless it involves the very safety of Xuanhuang World, the Law Transmission should be indifferent to such conflicts."
"Apart from the Law Transmission, who else within the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals has the force of the Immortal Realm?"
"Could it be the Eastern Pole, only mentioned in the records, or maybe Emperor Tri-Moa, the curator of the Museum of Divine Artifacts?"
Li Fan was reminded of the rumors among the common folk of the Immortal Alliance.
"It couldn’t really be the plan of the Thirty-three Immortal Selections, could it?"
Li Fan’s eyes narrowed.
Wei Qizheng, one of the Chosen Immortals, had received a part of the Final Separation Disk as a gift from Li Fan.
Although it didn’t have real-time communication functions, it could thoroughly record most of Wei Qizheng’s experiences.
As long as he met Wei Qizheng again, or if Wei Qizheng perished and the Dissociation Disk was damaged in an instant,
it would synchronize the saved information to Li Fan.
While curious about the means of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, Li Fan knew that now was not the time to reap the fruits.
The longer this nail was hidden, the more secret information he could learn.
"Let’s wait a bit longer."
Pushing this thought aside, Li Fan first emitted a special fluctuation to contact the Five Elders Organization.
He waited for a long time, but no one responded.
Yet Li Fan did not give up.
He continued to send out the signal again and again.
After repeating this seven times,
a faint response came from a certain place in Jiushan Province.
When Li Fan arrived, he found that the source of the fluctuating response was just a stone, smooth as a mirror.
