Chapter 445: The Essentials of Survival
Chapter 443 – The Essentials of Survival
Back in the Meteoric Immortal Realm, that Beast of Wisdom, the Emperor’s Three Tapirs, had once said to Lu Ya, “Even if one sees with one’s own eyes, very often, it may not be the truth of the matter.”
By the same token, the conclusions reasoned out by Li Fan nowadays might not be absolutely correct.
Just like a blind man feeling an elephant, what he perceived might not be the whole picture of the matter.
Yet, it was a part of the truth.
The Dao Transformation Stone crystal in his mind emitted an azure light, instantly recording all the many thoughts in his thoughts.
The next thing Li Fan had to think about was how to deal with the woman in green.
Shortly after she had just finished her words, Li Fan shook his head and replied, “The might of the [Immortal Ruins] is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.”
“An existence that can even distort space and time, the effects it brings are truly hard to predict.”
“You said that after chopping off the Immortal Extinction Passage, you guys will be able to break away from the shackles and be completely free from now on.”
“But this is only a theory. What will happen in actuality, who dares to guarantee it?”
Li Fan spoke slowly while not moving to observe the green-clothed woman’s expression.
“After all, those places that were separated from the Xuanhuang Realm before can all disappear and can no longer be contacted nowadays.”
“Whether they really got away with it or have been destroyed in the Immortal Ruins, who knows.”
“Otherwise, what makes us [Ten Thousand Realms Federation] able to pull in so many members?”
“Even if there’s only a one in ten thousand chance of failure, it’s still too much of a risk for an entire civilization.”
Li Fan said in a slightly mocking tone.
The green-clothed woman’s smile gradually tightened as she stared at Li Fan, as if she wanted to see something from his face.
However, Li Fan’s eight winds did not move and there was not the slightest crack.
Only then did the woman in green say, “You are right. This is also the reason why I returned to the Xuan Huang Realm this time.”
“Currently within the empire, the existence of the Immortal Ruins is still a top secret that only a very few people know about. However, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and once those conservatives know about it, then the resistance one needs to face if they want to pursue the plan to break away from the Xuan Huang Realm again will be even greater.”
“At that time, I’m afraid that even with the prestige that the Imperial Royal Family has accumulated over the past thousand years, it won’t be enough to peacefully implement this plan.”
Li Fan picked up the conversation and asked, “So, you are here to seek help?”
The woman in green nodded and said, “The Imperial Lady’s determination to implement the plan to break away from the Xuan Huang Realm has not changed. Even though there are indeed some risks, we believe that it is worth it.”
“However, those repulsive-faced nobles in the empire won’t necessarily think so.”
“In order to avoid infighting, the empire must speed up the advancement of the plan.”
She paused and then said, “While exchanging for the Harmonization Technique as soon as possible, we also need to accelerate the resources for cultivating Rift Whales ……”
With that, she handed over a jade slip.
A sweep of divine sense revealed that inside was a long list of supplies.
After searching through his memory, Li Fan realized that although the unit price of most of these supplies were not expensive, the quantity gap was a bit shocking.
The total consumption, I’m afraid, was not something he could afford with the more than five million contribution degrees in his hand.
At that moment, his eyebrows raised slightly as he said, “If you join the [Ten Thousand Realms Federation], the organization will naturally give help at its discretion if you say so.”
“But you’re already determined to run, it’s not like our Federation is a charity.”
The woman in green said, “As you said, Messenger, separating from the Xuanhuang Realm is likely to usher in destruction.”
“The empire is unchanged in its resolve, but that doesn’t stop us from placing our bets separately.” Li Fan’s eyes flashed, “You mean ……”
“Not bad, the empire will pull out a portion of its strength and join the Ten Thousand Realms Federation.”
“As another spark of civilization, they will still remain in the Xuan Huang Realm. If the empire really meets an untimely end in the future, they will be able to continue the empire’s legacy as a branch of the lineage.” The green-clothed woman said frankly with a burning gaze.
When Li Fan heard this, he could not help but snort, “Does your sect not overestimate itself a bit? In order not to arouse the alertness of the insiders of the empire, the strength you have drawn out will definitely not be too much. I’m afraid that relying on these alone to exchange for the things in the list is far from enough.”
The woman in green faintly said, “Your Excellency the Messenger is afraid that you have misunderstood. Since it was used as a civilization spark for the continuation of the empire, all the technologies that the empire holds today will naturally be retained as well. After joining the Federation, these technologies can naturally be shared with the organization as well.”
“Other than that, just the value of the [Beast God Armor] alone, I think it’s already worth most of the supplies in the list.”
It hadn’t occurred to me that the other party was actually so bold as to dare to use all of the technologies they possessed as bargaining chips.
Even if the “all the technology” they were talking about would most likely be discounted, just based on what Li Chenfeng had seen in his mind’s eye of the empire, it was enough to make Li Fan’s heart flutter.
Admittedly, these might not be of much help to Li Fan’s realm cultivation.
However, the empire’s power system, which was very different from that of the Xuanhuang Realm today, could greatly enhance Li Fan’s heritage.
As the saying goes, many skills do not overwhelm one’s body, and perhaps in some future reincarnation, this power of being able to manipulate foreign beasts would come in handy.
Without dwelling on it too much, after just a few moments, Li Fan decided on it.
To trick this empire’s technology as a whole into his hands.
Putting on an inexplicable heartfelt look, Li Fan pondered for a moment and said, “This is a big matter, it’s not something I can decide anymore.”
“Allow me to go back and report before giving a reply.”
Li Fan’s words were also expected by the woman in green.
“The night is long, so I hope the messenger will be quick.”
Li Fan arched his hand and hurriedly left.
In the secret room, only a group of people from the empire were left behind.
“Saint Master, do you really want to use the core technology that the empire has developed for so many years as a trading chip?” Li Chenfeng asked with some reluctance.
The woman in green, however, didn’t answer right away, but frowned and looked up at the sky.
Only after laying down many prohibitions in a row did she look at Li Chenfeng and reprimanded, “Have you forgotten what I taught you?”
“Survival is the first priority in the development of a civilization.”
“Only by surviving do technology, culture, and all of this have meaning.”
“If the civilization itself perishes, even if these are brilliant, what’s the point?”
Li Chenfeng was still a bit indignant, “But ……”
The green-clothed woman reached out to interrupt him, “This matter has already been finalized after we conferred with the Imperial Maiden. There’s no need to say more!”
Seeing this, Li Chenfeng could only helplessly bow his head and say yes.
“That person just now, I can’t see through him. That’s still just a messenger, it seems that this [Ten Thousand Realms Federation], there’s really something to it.”
The woman in green looked at Li Fan’s far away direction, and after a while, said softly.
Li Chenfeng was shocked, “Saint Master with your cultivation, can’t you see through him either? What exactly is that person’s cultivation level?”
The woman in green clothes was also a bit puzzled, “On the surface it may not look like the realm is very high, but I can always sense the slightest hint of danger from him.”
