The transformed True Immortal Seal Characters emitted an unusual aura. Just a brief exposure to the Outer World brought about wave-like oscillations akin to turbulent waves.
It was as if something unknown within Dao Yan had been attracted.
Until the respected figures cast their spells to conceal it once again, that heart-pounding sensation of being watched gradually faded.
The Inscription Dao Immortal and others were already accustomed to it, calmly saying, "As one of the most prominent Awakeners, you might also have a chance to capture the Mountain Sea Path. Hence, this reminder for you."
"Furthermore, this strategy of deceiving the heavens also requires your contribution."
Xingfu naturally nodded in agreement.
"None of us have truly witnessed the advent of the Mountain Sea Path, so all preparations can only be deduced based on estimates. However, unexpected situations can be daunting, so..."
The Inscription Dao Immortal paused, looking at Xingfu and said, "Prepare for the worst."
A blank long scroll unfolded from nowhere, as the five respecteds Jie Wu Zun, Jin Xiao, Feng Cang, Yuan Zang, Sheng Shi, Guang Mo synchronously uttered a low chant.
Embedding their figures onto this long scroll.
It’s as if the scroll gained five characters or resembled five lively tiny people jumping onto the paper. The Inscription Dao Immortal’s long scroll instantly turned unique.
Next were the remaining two.
Originating from the fringe of Mountain Sea, an imaginative construction, a white-haired youth.
And a silent middle-aged man.
The white-haired youth was fine, having offered guidance when Xingfu first met.
But the middle-aged man had an incredibly low presence.
Despite Xingfu’s many years in the Realm of Life and Death, he had never heard this man utter a single word.
The two of them also painted themselves onto the Inscription Dao Immortal’s long scroll like a gourd replica.
What the white-haired youth left was an eye.
Its gaze was ice-cold, devoid of any emotion. As though it had seen the world’s miseries and witnessed countless destructions.
When Xingfu met that gaze from the painting, he momentarily felt as if he was positioned at the end of Mountain Sea, surrounded entirely by Dao Yan.
As for the middle-aged man’s mark, it was even more peculiar.
It was a plete replication of himself!
As if he had been sliced into two separate pieces, leaving one in the real world and one leaping into the painting!
With the marks of seven respecteds, the long scroll seemed to bee heavy by thousands of times.
The Inscription Dao Immortal appeared significantly more strained when rolling it up to store.
"Condense!"
With a soft chant, the long scroll was then slowly rolled up.
Transforming into a thin piece of white paper.
Then the Inscription Dao Immortal gently blew on it, the white paper instantly fragmented into countless pieces. Like snowflakes, they scattered, resembling a white dragon leaping into the shadows of countless rivers below.
Having gazed countless times at the visionary landscapes of the Realm of Life and Death, Xingfu acutely noticed, with the infusion of the respected figures’ long scroll.
The entire Realm of Life and Death subtly transformed.
"If any anomalies occur, the Realm of Life and Death will automatically vanish."
"With these contingency plans in place, even if we unfortunately perish, we can be reborn in imagination later."
"Your task is to bee the new ’Respected’ of the Realm of Life and Death, waiting for our return," said the Inscription Dao Immortal sternly.
"..." Bearing heavy responsibility, Xingfu seemed momentarily unsure of what to do.
Yet, he nodded heavily and vowed, "Xingfu promises to fulfill the entrusted mission from the seniors."
The Inscription Dao Immortal then taught Xingfu the methods to mand the boundless imaginative flow of the Realm of Life and Death.
Again, instructing, "If the situation spirals out of control, you must flee. Don’t concern yourself with us. Your presence would be more of a burden to us."
"Understood," Xingfu responded solemnly.
With everything prepared, the next step was awaiting the arrival of the Mountain Sea Path.
As for how to lure the Mountain Sea Path and seal the presence and movement of its advent, the Inscription Dao Immortal did not inform Xingfu.
It was clear that it was not within the scope that his current strength could engage.
A hundred years passed, fleeting by.
More than Xingfu estimated.
On this day, the imagining and tracing were pleted.
Triggered by its aura, the yellow gem hanging above the heads of all beings in the Realm of Life and Death surged with countless lines like a flurry of snakes, madly thrashing.
A Heavenly Net was quietly laid down.
As for the transformed True Immortal Seal Characters serving as bait, they were nowhere to be seen. Or, they had merged into the entire net.
Even Xingfu, observing closely, noticed the extraordinary nature of these woven countless lines.
Though dim, they gleamed like stars amid darkness!
Eight respected figures stood in a circle.
Suspended within the net.
In the midst of a long laugh, the Inscription Dao Immortal transformed into an endless white scroll.
The other respecteds followed the previously set contingency plans, only now they cast themselves directly into the Inscription Dao’s long scroll rather than leaving imprints.
The originally blank long roll instantly became vivid and colorful.
The scroll expanded immensely in an instant.
Rustling and covering the Heavenly Net.
With those countless lines emerging from the yellow gem as the framework, the Inscription Dao’s scroll converted into a colossal bag.
Enpassing the entire Realm of Life and Death!
Inside the bag, it seemed disconnected from the Mountain Sea.
The surge caused by the impending arrival of Mountain Sea Path vanished without a trace.
Moreover, Xingfu was shocked to discover as he stood within this bag, his cultivation base was uncontrollably declining.
"Is it because I have indeed left Mountain Sea?" Xingfu instantly realized.
Xingfu’s entire strength, from his life foundation, originated from Mountain Sea.
Being confined by the bag, in a sense, having left Mountain Sea, his existence’s foundation was slowly waning.
