NOVPUBThe Dharma Transmitter, this was the highest position within the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals that Li Fan had come into contact with since stepping into the Xuanhuang World.
Moreover, more wonderfully, this Dharma Transmitter wasn’t really a Dharma Transmitter.
His real identity was that of a law king from the Mystic Sky Sect with malicious intentions.
"Being in the position of a Dharma Transmitter, casually leaking any kind of news would have unimaginably valuable, inexhaustible usefulness."
"The only difficulty now is how to get in touch with Mo Rubing and gain his trust."
Just like in the Fallen Immortal Realm before, Li Fan only caught a glimpse of some of Mo Rubing’s memories.
However, none of the memories related to techniques, divine powers, or secret techniques had been preserved.
So in order to disguise himself adequately in front of this Mystical Sky Sect king and not give himself away, he would need a well-thought-out plan.
Mo Rubing’s infiltration into the Immortal Alliance seemed to have no effect on the current situation in the Xuanhuang World.
During this time, the Immortal Alliance and the Five Elders Organization continued to be in constant strife.
The main issue was still the Avatar of the Dharma Transmitter, which frequently appeared in the airspace of the Five Elders Organization.
The techniques he could use were increasing, and the law phase had become livelier.
From the latest images transmitted from the Five Elders Organization’s side, even minute emotional fluctuations can now be observed on the solemn and serious face of the Celestial Dharma Bearer.
It really was enough to cause alarm.
Perhaps it was this increasingly realistic Avatar of the Dharma Transmitter that was causing some unrest among the five Immortal Sovereigns.
When the Avatar of the Dharma Transmitter appeared again, dark clouds unexpectedly rolled in from the distant sky, directly enveloping the Sky Dome.
The state region was suddenly plunged into total darkness, sealed from inside and out, and the Avatar of the Dharma Transmitter was completely swallowed by the darkness.
The final outcome was something Li Fan did not know.
But after this battle, the Immortal Alliance indeed became much more restrained.
The frequency of deploying the Avatar of the Dharma Transmitter slowed down significantly, but it did not completely halt.
On the part of the Five Elders Organization, they also seemed to have given up any hope of obtaining information about the Thirty-three Immortal Selections from the United Federation of All Realms.
The requests for assistance had all but ceased.
At most, they would feign attempts to probe for information about the sudden destruction of the Misthaven Cooperative Union.
Li Fan simply responded that the Misthaven Cooperative Union had no association with the United Federation of All Realms.
The situation in the United Federation of All Realms was extremely favorable.
The responsibility of the Five Elders Organization was to manage their own affairs properly.
But as the saying goes, paper can’t wrap a fire. As the Avatar of the Dharma Transmitter was used more frequently, rumors about it finally began to spread within the Immortal Alliance.
Even though the official Immortal Alliance forbade public discussion, it couldn’t stop the cultivators who were tirelessly curious.
For a time, there were various opinions. Countless speculations sprouted like bamboo after rain.
Li Fan also paid attention, inquiring and collecting information.
Most of it was conjecture from the cultivators that clearly couldn’t withstand scrutiny upon hearing.
But there was one rumor that caught Li Fan’s attention.
It said that this Avatar of the Dharma Transmitter might be related to the statues of the Celestial Dharma Bearer scattered throughout the Immortal Alliance.
"Everyone, have you ever thought about why in every Heaven City, there are statues erected of His Venerable the Celestial Dharma Bearer?"
"Moreover, I don’t know if you have used the Long-Distance Teleportation Array, but inside these statues, they are hollowed out and used as carriers for the Long-Distance Teleportation Array!"
"This is such blasphemy!"
"Although the Celestial Dharma Bearer does not concern himself with worldly affairs, his divine might persists. Without his permission, would those in power at the Immortal Alliance dare do this?!"
"I am certain there must be something strange about this!"
A cultivator named Yue Gu proclaimed confidently.
"Yue Brother speaks sensibly! No wonder every time I use the Long-Distance Teleportation Array, and I see the cloud masses representing the Xuanhuang World, I feel somewhat indescribably odd."
"I actually think you all are overthinking it. It’s quite clear that the Heavenly Venerable Law Phases were manifested through those thirty-three Chosen Immortals, so what does that have to do with the Stone Statue!"
Everyone held fast to their opinions, and no one could persuade the other.
Li Fan, however, recalled the Stone Statues of the Dharma Transmitter wearing tall crowns in Heaven City, deep in thought.
"The Xuanhuang World holds a unique and significant place in the heart of the Celestial Dharma Bearer."
"Even if he has left for a while, he must not have left [The Dark Starry Sky]. And if I were the Dharma Transmitter, for safety’s sake, I would surely leave something behind in the Xuanhuang World as a contingency."
"Perhaps these Stone Statues are the means of the Dharma Transmission."
"And the thirty-three Chosen Immortals are the keys to activate such means."
Li Fan mused to himself with a vague guess in his heart.
But he was in no hurry to verify it.
After all, he had already left a Dissociation Disc within one of the Chosen Immortals, Wei Qizheng; as soon as Wei Qizheng met his demise, the secrets recorded would be reflected back to Li Fan.
Li Fan refused to believe that the thirty-three Chosen Immortals, with their Unity-Path cultivation at most, could manifest the Heavenly Venerable Law Phases so frequently without paying any price.
Therefore, before this world of his came to an end, he was sure he would live to see the day of Wei Qizheng’s fall.
As long as there were no unforeseen accidents.
Temporarily setting aside the strife of the Xuanhuang World, Li Fan began to refine a new avatar once again in the Secret Room of the Spirit Tree Realm.
The previous avatar, Ji Shaoli, had died at the hands of a young Dharma Transmitter; with dangers lurking everywhere in the Xuanhuang World, it was inconvenient to be without an avatar.
This time, Li Fan discreetly took a strand of Blood Essence from Su Yuqing and began the refinement.
Different from his previous avatar creations, having mastered the [Technique of Endless Duality], Li Fan treated the Divine Soul of the avatar in a special manner.
He excised all memories regarding [Real] from the Divine Soul.
And then he modified the rest of it.
The avatar would still transmit sensations to the original body, but the experiences of the original body could only be passively and selectively accepted.
In the avatar’s memory, it was the embodiment created by a deeply slumbering Law King of the Ancient Xuan Tian Sect upon awakening.
Having suffered grave injuries, its own memories were also severely fragmented.
But it remembered the grace of the King of the Mystic Sky and vowed to rebuild the Mystic Sky Sect.
Thus, it secretly gathered forces from various Small Worlds and organized the United Federation of All Realms.
To enlist soldiers and purchase horses for the cause of the restoration.
Such a method of modifying the Divine Soul was originally beyond Li Fan’s capabilities.
However, after mastering the Infinite Fulfillment and Emptiness Method, he could achieve it.
Although the method was rather crude, and because a precise excision wasn’t possible, it might even cause direct trauma to the Divine Soul,
the borderline perverse Soul Healing power of the Infinite Fulfillment and Emptiness Method allowed Li Fan to crudely modify the Divine Soul in a targeted manner after various attempts.
The fabricated memory of the previous avatar, Ji Shaoli, which had deceived the young Dharma Transmitter, was made possible through this method.
...
Three days later.
Looking at the new avatar before him, whose appearance was stunning and contained both masculine and feminine features, Li Fan’s face revealed a satisfied expression.
"True caution is when one guards even against one’s own avatar."
"And when necessary, they can be thrown out as bait."
This was the progress Li Fan had made after experiencing the events with the young Dharma Transmitter and the Mystical Sky Sect Law King.
Touching between his brows, the avatar’s eyebrows trembled slightly, gradually awakening.
"Let’s call you Li Qing."
