Chapter 1771: Chapter 1440 Ants Surround and Kill the Immortal
Li Fan squinted his eyes, recalling Scholar Su’s Divine Technique in the illusory realm just now.
A miniature Dao Network flickered unpredictably within his divine sense, searching for the corresponding Law of Taoist. Scholar Su had entered the Dao Network, making the Tao he prehended one of its foundations.
This replica within Li Fan’s divine sense likewise had its shadow reflected.
At the moment of alignment, the string of that Dao Network emitted an unusual, profound light.
Li Fan’s heart was slightly touched: “This is… a [Grind] character!”
Suddenly, it seemed a square grindstone appeared before him, continually pounding and crushing the target between Heaven and Earth. The stream of light from the miniature Dao Network’s string poured in endlessly; Li Fan’s prehension of this Tao accelerated remarkably in a short time.
However, after just a few breaths, Li Fan actively interrupted this realization of the Tao.
“Although Scholar Zhu has already been cast into the Dao Network as a Life Stake, he is still alive. This [Grind] Tao still belongs to someone.”
“The deeper the research, the easier it is to be sensed by its master.”
Though there are thousands of Tao across Heaven and Earth, Li Fan only needs to focus on the True and False Changes. As for other paths and principles, he can temporarily use them as convenient tools before reaching the pinnacle.
Exposing True and False Changes in front of Scholar Zhu wasn’t Li Fan’s momentary show of skill before the ancient Nameless Immortals but rather a test of sorts.
“Now it appears that True and False Changes are marvelously intricate. Even though people in the Immortal World secretly covet it, not everyone knows of its existence. Scholar Zhu, despite being a nameless True Immortal, didn’t recognize it when I demonstrated in front of him, only startled by my inexplicable technique.”
Admittedly, this probe carried some risk, but Scholar Zhu himself was a prisoner within the net. Li Fan’s true self was deep inside the Abyss Star Ocean behind high walls, concealed by Wuyou Dreamscape. Even if something changed, he could calmly return to Hai Zhen.
Indeed, when the Dark Heavenly Doctor crossed possibilities, Li Fan could successfully initiate Hai Zhen. The chances of a true threat to Li Fan within this [Primordial] possibility were indeed few.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
Scholar Zhu did indeed remend “Ma Tiande” to the Governing Council as agreed.
Ma Tiande had originally been sent by the Governing Council to Ji Le City to manipulate the Dao Network and perform surveillance. Now, the council assumed Scholar Zhu and Ma Tiande didn’t get along well and wanted an excuse to transfer him.
Through the Dao Network, Ma Tiande’s identity was verified without error, and after consulting Ma Tiande’s opinion, the Governing Council agreed to this remendation.
The selection for Immortal Hunt concentrated in just half a day.
When the selection officially menced, the elusive Dao Network seemed to reveal its true form, materializing within the illusion.
A shadowy Great Net cloaked the entire Sea of the Northern Stars.
It enpassed every force within the Star Sea.
The shadow of the Dao Network stretched across Heaven and Earth, continuing beyond the world.
This magnificent spectacle caused all who witnessed it to feel a profound sense of awe.
The mon people knelt in reverence.
Even the cultivators bowed their heads.
As the Dao Network spread across the skies, Li Fan did not stand out, lowering his head and silently observing.
Due to the presence of the miniature Dao Network within his divine sense, the scene he saw was different from others.
Four figures emanating a sacred and solemn aura were akin to the four pillars, hiding behind the Dao Network. Aside from this, the Dao Network seemed to have numerous overlapping phantoms standing solemnly.
Yet the invisible hand gripping the Dao Network was nowhere in sight.
Each time the nameless True Immortal saw the Dao Network’s Life Stakes in reality, Li Fan felt a sense of trepidation. However, the projection in his divine sense became increasingly clearer due to this close examination.
Hence, Li Fan never stopped his curious gaze.
A ray of light pierced through the Dao Network.
Every participant of this Immortal Hunt selection was bathed in this light.
Unable to control their bodies, they began to float involuntarily.
Li Fan was no exception.
He observed nearly a thousand cultivators in the Sea of the Northern Stars rising like himself, remaining posed. As he was captured, he studied the Dao Network’s operation in reality.
“Spanning the entire Sea of the Northern Stars, precisely locking onto a thousand participants, and lifting them into the air… in terms of breadth and precision, this move by the Dao Network is parable to that of a True Immortal.”
Furthermore, Li Fan vaguely sensed that these participating members of the Immortal Hunt were not merely lifted into the air but collectively entered a parallel realm to the reality of the Sea of the Northern Stars.
Living beings below could look up and see them within the Sky Dome.
Yet they gradually lost sight of the ground, appearing to enter a pletely isolated zone.
“This should be to ensure fairness and impartiality in the Immortal Hunt selection, held publicly before all life in the Sea of the Northern Stars,” Li Fan understood in his heart.
The surrounding scenery turned dark as though they were in an endless Void. A thousand cultivators floated within, quietly waiting for the selection to mence.
Soon, a booming voice resounded.
No unnecessary words, straight to the point.
“The first trial, Tao.”
The Dao Network stretching across Heaven and Earth seemed to arrive in this selection space, suddenly descending, continuously pressing down.
Originally a creation residing only in the skies, it now approached ever closer.
