NOVPUB"It is truly tragic..."
What the young Dharma Transmitter had learned from his spirit consciousness, about the various events that had occurred within the Xuanhuang World during his slumber, made the Mystical Sky Sect King feel as if he were watching an absurd third-rate tale unfold.
"A great disaster is looming, yet they still fight incessantly..."
"Perhaps that is the nature of humanity. The King of Mystic Sky’s judgment was not wrong."
The Mystical Sky Sect King shook his head slightly.
Of course, he had no intention of trying to set right the chaos.
What he wanted to do now was to find the King of Mystic Sky and then escape from this place before the Xuanhuang World completely fell into the Immortal Ruins.
If the King of Mystic Sky was nowhere to be found...
Then he would have to find a way out on his own.
In the young Dharma Transmitter’s spirit consciousness, there were many contingency plans for escape.
But to the Mystical Sky Sect King, the feasibility of these plans seemed rather low.
What is called [The Dark Starry Sky]?
Why did the King of Mystic Sky pledge so adamantly that only those who have the power of the True Immortal Realm could escape from this domain of death?
The various escape plans devised by the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals could indeed allow a portion of people to leave the Xuanhuang World and temporarily evade the pull of the Immortal Ruins.
But the influence of the Immortal Ruins extended to an unimaginably vast expanse of the void.
Within the void, where once there was abundant life, akin to a galaxy of various Immortal Cultivation Worlds, all had been devoured by the Immortal Ruins over these years.
The once brilliant starry sky had turned dark, deathly silent.
Escaping the Xuanhuang World is something many can accomplish.
But to escape this dark prison...
It is not merely because the dark void is so vast. Even powerful beings of the Immortal Realm, without any reference points or guiding markers, if they rashly fly into it, will only end up lost and trapped until death.
More crucially, outside the Darkest Starry Sky, a [High Wall] had been artificially created.
At the edge of the Dark Starry Sky, it makes all living beings who wish to break through look on with a sigh.
The King of Mystic Sky speculated that this [High Wall] might have been built by cultivators outside the Dark Starry Sky to prevent the catastrophe of the Immortal Ruins from spreading further outward.
To cross the High Wall, one must unleash a power beyond mortals in an instant.
Otherwise, this so-called escape is nothing but a switch from one spot in the cage to another.
"If the Floating Star Space Array were still intact, with the current scale of the Xuanhuang World, and the array operating at full power, perhaps the peak burst of energy could be enough to cross the High Wall."
The young man pondered as he looked around the relics of the Violet Firmament Sect.
With a wave of his hand, he lifted the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Array that covered the area.
Then his figure became blurry and disappeared without a trace.
The Violet Firmament Sect Relics once again fell into the long-standing tranquility it had known.
A full seven days passed.
With a distortion in the air, a figure suddenly appeared,
The Mystical Sky Sect King, who was supposed to have left and returned, had surprisingly come back to this place again.
Or rather, he never left.
The previous "departure" was nothing more than a diversion.
"I was still hoping I might meet this brother from the sect, what a pity."
Since it was not to be, the Mystical Sky Sect King did not insist.
In a flash, his figure disappeared completely.
This time it was no feint, he had truly left.
More than ten days later, a sneaky figure arrived at the outskirts of the Violet Firmament Sect Relics.
The face could not be discerned, and the presence was concealed.
It was Li Fan.
After observing from afar for a while, confirming there was no danger, and sensing no alarm in his heart,
He approached with caution.
During this time, after he had led the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals’ Dharma Transmitter away, he had been waiting patiently in the vicinity.
Only after he felt that the presence here had completely vanished and a long time had passed did he return.
He had thought that when two strong forces clashed, injury would be inevitable.
What surprised him was that the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals had no reaction to the occurrence at all.
Even the exposed members of the Misthaven Cooperative Society didn’t face pursuit from the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.
It was as if nothing had ever happened.
Li Fan wanted to know what exactly had transpired here.
A glint of silver light flashed in his eyes, activating a hidden array in the air.
This was an array derived from the Final Separation Disk by Li Fan, surpassing the faculties of his era and difficult to detect by other cultivators.
It had only one function, which was to record all scenes within the scope of the array.
As Li Fan continued to cast spells, scenes from the incidents that had occurred more than ten days ago gradually reappeared in the air.
They were lifelike.
When he saw the Mystical Sky Sect King’s strange and extreme Divine Technique, a flash of alarm crossed Li Fan’s mind.
Particularly after he saw the young man, who appeared to be at the summit of Unity-Path, devoured effortlessly, Li Fan was deeply shaken.
Taking a deep breath, he managed to suppress the shock in his heart.
"Is this the strength of the Mystical Sky Sect King?"
"Truly strange and unpredictable, impossible to guard against."
Putting himself in the young Dharma Transmitter’s shoes, Li Fan could not immediately think of an appropriate method to counter.
Even though he possessed the mighty force of the Five Elements Cave Heaven and the protection of the Seven-color Divine Light,
facing the extremely insidious assault techniques of the Mystic Sky Sect, he could not leverage any significant advantage.
Li Fan was reminded of the Mystic Sky Sect’s Divine Techniques he had seen in Sister Zhao’s Illusory Realm:
"The Ode to the Conjunction of Heaven and Earth," "The Secret of Only I Through the Ages," "The Technique of Severing Souls and Illuminating the Spirit," "The Scripture of Heaven’s Lament and Earth’s Sorrow."
With just one "The Secret of Only I Through the Ages," Sister Zhao was able to achieve the rank of One-Heart Emperor.
This demonstrated the immense depth and strength of the Mystical Sky Sect’s resources.
"It’s fortunate that I was cautious and didn’t rely on my own strength to provoke him; otherwise, I might have been forced into an Even True state," Li Fan reflected silently.
Next, Li Fan saw the Mystical Sky Sect King appear bewildered after devouring the young Dharma Transmitter.
He would occasionally look up to the sky or mutter to himself quietly.
Upon hearing that the other party had mistaken him for a member of the Mystic Sky Sect due to some comical errors, Li Fan’s expression subtly changed.
Afterward, it seemed like the Law King was lost in memories.
Li Fan could only distinguish the occasional mentions of "King of Mystic Sky" and "escape,"
but he could not discern what truly went through the other party’s mind.
Li Fan continued to play the footage.
When he saw the other party try to lay a trap to ambush him, Li Fan couldn’t help but sneer.
If he hadn’t been one hundred percent certain of his safety, why would he have shown himself?
Having patiently sped through the rest of the recorded footage, Li Fan finally erased the array.
He then hurried back to the Spirit Tree Realm.
He arrived at the circular Grand Hall where the Faceless Xuantian God Statue was placed.
Li Fan stared intently at the stone statue.
"Originally, I had intended to use this as bait to draw out the remnants of the Mystic Sky Sect."
"Then, I could shut the doors and catch them alive, extracting the ancient Xuan Tians sect secrets from their minds."
"Now it seems I was overconfident."
"If I truly attracted someone of the Mystical Sky Sect King’s caliber, I’m afraid I would have turned into the dog that got caught."
