In the Xuanhuang Realm, within the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, all of the floating heavenly cities suddenly resounded with the sa urgent bell chi at that very mont.
The cultivators of the Immortal Alliance froze, halting whatever they were doing, stunned in place. After a brief ntal lapse, they quickly recalled what this sound represented.
It was the highest-level alarm of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance. Such a signal would only be activated when the alliance faced a crisis of life and death.
After a brief silence, the entire alliance erupted into chaos. People panicked, confused, and directionless.
anwhile, Li Fan, located in the Spiritwood Realm, naturally heard the bells the mont they rang. At first, he thought his own world-destroying arrangents had been discovered.
However, he quickly realized that the sudden ringing was most likely connected to the events occurring inside the Life and Death Grand Formation. When the image recorded by the formation left behind by a True Immortal’s remnant body appeared before him, it confird his suspicion.
The recording ultimately stopped at the mont when the Dharma-Transmitters Immortals and their group disappeared into the white mist. Imdiately after, the recording formation itself was destroyed by that surging, endless white fog.
Li Fan repeatedly watched the recording, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.
“The Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s reaction is this extre. Could it be…”
“Those three Dharma-Transmitter are dead?”
A surge of doubt and unease rose in his heart. He knew that each Dharma-Transmitter was protected by the Immortal Ancestor.
As long as that protective power remained, they could be said to be undying and indestructible within the Xuanhuang Realm. Although such protection restricted them from advancing to the Longevity Immortal Realm, they were, for all practical purposes, nearly eternal.
Yet now, before the newly ascended Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign, they had been annihilated without resistance.
“To instantly slay three Dharma-Transmitter?”
“If these three really have perished just like that, then the power of the Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign…”
Li Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly. A trace of doubt soon followed.
“If He is truly that powerful, then why kill the three Dharma-Transmitters?”
“They had only entered by mistake. They neither damaged anything nor showed any disrespect.”
Li Fan slowly replayed the recording again, fra by fra. Eventually, he noticed sothing peculiar.
“It seems that, at first, the Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign had no intention of appearing.”
“But one of the Dharma-Transmitters, Wei, must have discovered sothing—only then did Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign appear.”
“So, was it to silence him?”
Li Fan’s expression turned strange.
To kill for the sake of silencing soone—it was an act unbecoming of one who held the title of Heavenly Sovereign. Yet He had done exactly that.
There could only be one explanation. If what Dharma-Transmitter Wei discovered were to be revealed, it would cause the Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign unpredictable harm.
To prevent that variable from occurring, He chose to annihilate them.
“Before Dharma-Transmitter Wei’s death, he must have been thinking about Great Reversal of Life and Death Formation.”
Following that line of thought, Li Fan began to deduce. With his current mastery of formation arts, he quickly grasped the core concept.
“As I suspected before, reversing life and death was never ant to reverse the life and death of cultivators.”
“The resurrection of cultivators was rely a byproduct caused by the change in the world’s natural laws.”
“The true target of this Heavenly Sovereign’s reversal is the [world] itself.”
A flash of brilliance burst forth in Li Fan’s eyes.
“To conceal this purpose, He exterminated the entire Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance expedition.”
“This implies that the world He seeks to resurrect is not the Xuanhuang Realm itself, but one of the many cultivation worlds that were devoured by Xuanhuang over the years.”
“How interesting. Is this… nostalgia for His holand?”
After going through the entire situation once more, Li Fan slightly nodded. “No wonder this person has kept a low profile for so many years, never showing himself to the public. This can indeed be called borrowing a corpse to bring back a soul. Once successful, his holand world might truly be revived.”
“But as for the fate of the Xuanhuang Realm itself, that would be hard to say.”
“If this matter were to be exposed, it would surely provoke fierce resistance from the native cultivators of the Xuanhuang Realm.”
“So, just like , he’s also engaged in deeds that cannot see the light of day.”
A faint smile curved Li Fan’s lips.
“However, all these calculations are destined to fail.”
The smile vanished instantly. Li Fan’s attention returned to the True Immortal Remnant Body. By now, it had already returned to the Xuanhuang Realm.
As the direct culprit behind the fall of three Dharma-Transmitter, it was imdiately hunted down by the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance upon its reappearance.
This ti, the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance was truly taking things seriously. After all, during the Mo Rubin possession incident, not a single Dharma-Transmitter had perished.
But now, three of them had fallen at once. The shock this brought to the Council of Dharma-Transmitter was beyond imagination.
More than ten Dharma-Transmitter appeared together, all locking onto the True Immortal Remains at the center. Among the crowd, Li Fan even noticed the curator of the Museum of Divine Treasure, the beast-race Emperor Beast Sanmo.
Compared to his appearance in the Fallen Immortal Realm, he now looked far older. However, he seed utterly unconcerned about the Alliance’s pursuit. Expressionless, eyes half-closed.
Clearly, his attendance was rely a formality. Besides them, Li Fan finally saw the Mirror-Holder Lineage.
They were all dressed in dark green Daoist robes, with mirror-like imprints engraved on their foreheads.
The three true powers that controlled the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance had all gathered here, which showed how trendous the impact of the three Dharma-Transmitter’ fall truly was. Under the pressure of their combined power, Li Fan noticed his control over the True Immortal Remnant weakening.
He was just about to detonate the remains, to open a channel between the Xuanhuang Realm and the Dark Realm, and unleash a tide of the Dark Sea, when sothing unexpected happened.
The core forces of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, which had been fully prepared to strike, suddenly seed to have received so kind of ssage. At first, there was confusion and disbelief.
Then, without hesitation, they all moved in perfect unison. Their figures blurred, as they completely ignored the culprit and prepared to withdraw from the scene.
Li Fan then saw Emperor Sanmo, who had kept his eyes closed until now, suddenly open them wide. It was as if sothing had arrived and drawn his attention.
Far away in the Spiritwood Realm, Li Fan felt a surge of foreboding in his heart. His many years of experience made him decide instantly.
He severed his connection with the True Immortal Remains and detonated them at once.
At the exact mont when the remains shattered into countless fragnts, a figure shrouded in white mist silently appeared beside him. It appeared without warning and with astonishing speed.
But ultimately, it was still too late.
Endless darkness surged out from the cracks of the shattered True Immortal Remains. It collided head-on with the white mist emanating from the newcor’s body.
The dark tide that Li Fan had anticipated did not appear. The white mist acted like countless waterproof sandbags, or like an unyielding seawall that stood firm against the waves.
It firmly blocked the catastrophic darkness from spilling out.
…
In the Spiritwood Realm, a trace of coldness flashed across Li Fan’s face.
“What does this an?”
“The two sides… have joined forces?”
“To find , they are willing to disregard even the fall of the Dharma-transmitter?”
