Suddenly terrified, he exclaimed, "Thief of the Heavenly Dao?"
The strongest among All Saints, Thief of the Heavenly Dao, mysteriously disappeared, but his cultivation Dao appeared on Li Fan, whom he was chasing.
In the depths of the Void Realm, what exactly happened? The result is self-evident!
Although it seemed so incredible, Li Fan was, after all, holding the Supreme Treasure of the Three Saints, carrying the mission of the Three Saints.
Who knew what treasures the Three Saints had bestowed upon him besides the staff, shovel, and rod?
The foundation of the Three Saints is unfathomable.
Even if Thief of the Heavenly Dao was the strongest among All Saints, he was easily suppressed by the Three Saints.
Thinking of this, the Four Saints of Gui Ming hurriedly fled, scattering in all directions!
Leaving behind only Lord Guardian Hill, who was equally stunned.
"Guardian Hill, don’t be stunned, wait a moment for them to react, and it will be too late."
As Li Fan said this, the aura on his body suddenly weakened.
Only then did Guardian Hill understand, grabbing Li Fan and swiftly returning to Mountain Sea.
In the chaotic currents of Mountain Sea, Li Fan explained the course of events to Guardian Hill.
Naturally, there were truths and lies among them.
"So, although you relied on the Supreme Treasure of the Three Saints to barely kill Sui Jun and Thief of the Heavenly Dao, you were also severely injured."
"The path of the Cosmic Cycle is pletely destroyed, yet you prehended the Dao of Thief of the Heavenly Dao?" Lord Guardian Hill pondered and asked.
"Correct. Thief of the Heavenly Dao knew his escape was hopeless, in a final desperate attempt, he abandoned the myriad Qi Destinies he stole to seize my body’s Creation, attempting to avoid certain death. He almost succeeded..." Li Fan said with lingering fear.
"That’s something he’s capable of." Lord Guardian Hill sighed softly after a long silence.
"Thief of the Heavenly Dao calculated in countless ways, yet he didn’t know. I crossed over from the end of Mountain Sea long ago, having trained in skills that let me rise even if my cultivation base is pletely wasted. Perhaps unknown to Guardian Hill, in the last Mountain Sea, I was a Sage of [Xuan Pin]. But after Mountain Sea reconnected, there appeared two Sages of Xuan Pin in this world. I could not bear for us to fight sword to sword. So, I voluntarily proposed to give up my [Xuan Pin] Dao Path."
"The Three Saints recognized my ability in True Spirit Infusion and thus guided me in [Cosmic Cycle] Creation..."
This part, however, was not something Li Fan made up. It was indeed what he experienced in this lifetime.
Upon hearing this, Lord Guardian Hill nodded repeatedly, praising, "Daoist, you are virtuous! No wonder the Three Saints would entrust such an important mission to you."
Then the two of them discussed the subsequent matters.
"The Three Saints once said, allowing me to act as I see fit. But Mountain Sea is turbulent and could be swallowed by Dao Yan at any time. I’m afraid relying solely on the two of us, it is difficult to stabilize the situation. Still, we need the assistance of the Four Saints of Gui Ming, but it is not advisable to resort to killing." Li Fan said slowly.
These words were precisely what Guardian Hill had in mind.
After all, having sat together in the Xuanji Ring for countless years, there was at least some ’emotion’ among them.
"However, I’m not sure how to make the Four Saints willingly help rebuild Mountain Sea. Ah, if only the Xuanji Ring were still around." Li Fan sighed and said, frowning.
Upon hearing this, Lord Guardian Hill’s expression changed slightly.
Nevertheless, he didn’t speak immediately. Only after thinking carefully for a while, he said, "Actually, in truth, in all the countless years we have sat in the Xuanji Ring, it exerted its effect only a handful of times."
"Upon initially experiencing the divine might of the Xuanji Ring, all saints were terrified and dared not entertain any other thoughts. They could only be pelled to align with the Three Saints."
Li Fan squinted his eyes, instantly understanding the hidden meaning in Guardian Hill’s words.
"Although the Xuanji Ring is broken, we cannot restore it. But as long as we let All Saints believe we still have the Xuanji Ring in our hands, we can deceive them into taking their seats again?"
"According to my understanding of them, that’s indeed the case. At least, in the short term, they shouldn’t notice anything unusual. It’s enough for us to jointly reconstruct and stabilize the collapsing state of Mountain Sea."
"Of course, the Xuanji Ring can’t be too fake. If they can see through it at a glance, we won’t be able to deceive them." Lord Guardian Hill said slowly.
"I wonder if any remains were left after the Xuanji Ring shattered that day?" Li Fan asked.
Lord Guardian Hill hesitated for a moment, as if lost in memories.
After a long time, he finally replied somewhat uncertainly, "There should be. But at that time, we were shaken by the fall of the Three Saints and did not pay attention to the whereabouts of those fragments. But since Mountain Sea has not pletely fallen, the fragments of the Xuanji Ring are still hidden within Mountain Sea."
"Then we must quickly find them. By the way, since ing here, I haven’t seen the figure of the Taiwei Saint Emperor. I wonder what happened to him..." Li Fan suddenly asked.
Upon hearing the words, Guardian Hill’s expression dimmed: "The fall of the Three Saints, the momentum shook the heavens and earth. Taiwei sensed the anomaly, thinking that a great change occurred on the Other Shore, hurriedly came to inspect. Unexpectedly, he was besieged by All Saints who had lost their shackles."
"The deliberate calculation against the unprepared... He couldn’t hold on for long and perished. Along with it, countless living beings of the Taiwei Holy Dynasty were all annihilated. This is also why when you arrived, I hid myself. Having witnessed their heinous acts, I did not want to associate with them. Yet I couldn’t stop it." Guardian Hill sighed heavily.
Li Fan, however, consoled him: "No worries, with me here, I will right the wrongs. Everything will surely return to the correct track. Once Mountain Sea is reconnected, the Taiwei Saint Emperor will be restored. At most, we suffer a single instance of the power boost brought by the reconnected Mountain Sea."
Guardian Hill nodded slightly, agreeing with Li Fan’s words.
