Li Fan’s aura weakened at an alarming speed.
Yet his voice remained remarkably loud, instantly spreading throughout the entire Ningyuan City.
Song Hesong stared in astonishnt at the scene before him, his mind completely blank, unable to react for a mont.
Li Fan’s figure quickly flew toward Zhang Qianmo, but he did not forget to turn and throw the jade box containing three Longevity Fruits in the opposite direction.
Song Hesong hesitated for a mont, but ultimately chose to go first and catch the jade box.
This gave Li Fan precious ti to catch his breath.
“Junior Brother?!” Zhang Qianmo sensed what had happened with Li Fan and shouted angrily, his body flashing like purple lightning as he instantly arrived beside Li Fan.
“Attack!” Although he did not know why Song Hesong chose to act first, the situation had reached a point of no return—an arrow on the string must be released.
anwhile, Chu Liang and the other four mbers of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance lying in ambush within the city imdiately revealed themselves.
After receiving the Longevity Fruits, Song Hesong also slowly flew over.
The five of them, faces grim, surrounded Zhang Qianmo and the seemingly unconscious Li Fan.
The other four stared intently at Zhang Qianmo, while only Song Hesong looked at Li Fan, a flicker of doubt passing through his eyes.
“Senior Brother Zhang! Long ti no see!” Chu Liang sneered.
“Senior Brother? Do I know you?” Zhang Qianmo’s cold gaze swept over him, his tone laced with murderous intent.
Chu Liang froze for a mont, then erupted in fury.
What followed was not much different from what Li Fan had experienced before.
However, this ti, Zhang Qianmo revealed his Purple Core early to protect his severely injured “junior brother” under the assault of the others.
Facing the five attackers, Senior Brother Zhang crushed them like withered reeds, annihilating them with overwhelming force.
Then, ignoring these inconsequential people, he carried the still unconscious Li Fan and quickly returned to the Purple Heaven Sect.
Amid the clamor, Li Fan soon felt soone tending to his injuries.
To make his act more convincing, the self-inflicted wound he had just inflicted was not light.
Fortunately, it was not a fatal injury.
After careful treatnt, his condition gradually stabilized, and his life was no longer in danger.
However, under Li Fan’s deliberate control, he remained in a deep, unbroken slumber.
At first, quite a few people ca to check on him.
But as ti passed, Li Fan showed no signs of awakening.
Gradually, only Zhang Qianmo occasionally ca to visit.
Li Fan’s room grew quiet and deserted.
Half a year later, one night, a ghost-like figure quietly approached Li Fan’s bedside.
In the darkness, the figure’s features were indistinguishable.
It simply stared at the sleeping Li Fan with a sinister smile.
Then, a faint dividing line appeared between him and Li Fan.
The scene twisted, and the room was split into two along the dividing line.
It beca a completely mirrored world.
The figure, whose face remained unseen, also appeared gravely injured, quietly lying on a bed.
As the dividing line emitted flickering light, the two mirrored worlds gradually approached and rged together.
When the two figures completely fused,
the dividing line vanished without a trace.
The dark, small room returned to its usual tranquility.
Yet within the mind of the body on the bed, a tumultuous storm erupted.
“What’s going on? Li Chen’s soul… is actually an empty shell?”
After devouring Li Chen of the Purple Heaven Sect lying on the bed, the Dharma King of the Xuantian Sect found that he had gained absolutely nothing from the opponent’s soul.
It was like an apple that had been hollowed out by worms—only a thin outer layer of skin remained!
The Dharma King of the Xuantian Sect felt a dark premonition in his heart, thinking this must be a trap set by the Ten Great Immortal Sects to capture him.
But imdiately afterward, his expression changed.
Because upon fusing with Li Chen’s soul, it seed that so foreign substance had also entered his mind.
It was very well hidden.
He had even neglected its presence due to the shock in his heart just now.
Now, regaining his senses, that tiny speck could no longer escape his divine vision.
“Seeking death!”
Discovering that soone had been peeking into his mories, the Dharma King of the Xuantian Sect was enraged.
With a roar of divine intent, he instantly crushed the speck into pieces.
……
“Ugh…”
Li Fan emitted a muffled groan as he returned to reality from the Fallen Immortal Realm.
It seed that his soul had suffered considerable injuries during this encounter.
The Limitless Fullness and Emptiness thod naturally circulated, repairing his injuries.
Li Fan remained imrsed in the mories he had glimpsed within the mind of the Xuantian Dharma King.
Although it was only a fleeting glance, he had still uncovered a large amount of crucial and shocking information.
“Xuantian King… the Floating Starry Sky Formation.”
“And also…”
“The Faceless True Immortal.”
A strange gleam appeared in Li Fan’s eyes.
The Xuantian Dharma King who had possessed Li Chen was nad Mo Rubin.
In the Ancient Cultivation Era, before the Xuantian Sect was founded, he had belonged to the cultivation sect Nine Refinent Temple.
Later, he was persuaded by the Xuantian King to join the Xuantian Sect.
……
“The Darkest Star Sea… High Wall.”
Unexpectedly, Li Fan found himself transported to such a desperate situation.
Yet he felt no despair.
Knowing the larger world context had instantly broadened his perspective.
“It seems that my previous idea of escaping the Xuanhuang Realm is impossible. If I want a chance to survive, I must first establish a foothold within the Xuanhuang Realm.”
“The power of a True Immortal… is required to leap over the High Wall.”
Li Fan’s gaze flickered.
Suddenly, he thought of the Supre Treasure Fishing Pond.
He seed to realize a possible breakthrough and his thoughts raced.
“Senior Stone Tablet said that while we fish in the Fishing Pond, the pond itself also fishes across the heavens, collecting treasures from the outside to replenish itself.”
“If the information I obtained from Mo Rubin’s mind is true, then the vast majority of cultivation worlds in this starry expanse of the Xuanhuang Realm have already been devoured by the Immortal Ruins.”
“Then…”
“It’s highly likely that the latest treasures collected in the Fishing Pool co from beyond the High Wall.”
“This also ans that the so-called High Wall is not completely sealed.”
“There can still be communication inside and outside the High Wall. Just like…”
“…that Faceless True Immortal statue.”
Having understood part of the truth, Li Fan’s concern about the statue was temporarily eased.
Clearly, even True Immortals would not lightly venture into a place like the Darkest Star Sea.
Looking on the bright side, this also ant that aside from the True Immortal within the Immortal Ruins, Li Fan did not have to worry—at least for now—about other True Immortals descending to crush him in an instant.
“The Darkest Star Sea… a forbidden land for living beings.”
“But for , it is a relatively safe place to develop.”
“Provided, of course, that I can successfully escape from this death zone.”
Having learned much about Mo Rubin, Li Fan’s fear toward him had significantly lessened.
He even began planning how to seek so benefit from him.
