Chapter 572: A Shady Deal
Chapter 568 A Shady Deal
The exact appearance of the Tian beast, whether or not it was actually like a turtle, is now impossible to verify.
However, with a specific name, it is much easier to find the relevant information.
Although there are only a few words, it is basically certain that Tian beasts existed as “totems” in ancient times.
It seems to have been closely related to some kind of belief.
Li Fan pondered, “The Tian beast should belong to the Xuan Tian Sect.”
“During the war in which the Ten Sects of the Immortal Dao overthrew the Xuan Tian Sect, the Tian beast fell and was transformed into nine mountains.”
“Senior Sister Zhao once said that the Xuan Tian Sect stole the power of the Heaven’s handle and was able to grant mortals [imprints] that enabled them to master all sorts of magical abilities that only cultivators can possess.”
“Since it is able to confer, it can naturally be stripped away as well.”
“Perhaps on the battlefield of Heavenly Spirit State, those cultivators who were locked by the green light lost their ability to fly because of this, and that’s why they fell from the sky in droves.”
“In my last life, the Xuan Net that I remember, however, barely exhibited this [deprivation] ability. The elimination of rebellious cultivators often required the dispatch of black-clothed [Heavenly Magicians].”
“It’s stronger in terms of monitoring, bestowing, and so on.”
A moment later, Li Fan frowned darkly again, “Tian Xuan Spirit Locking and Xuan Tian Spirit Sealing may just be two sides of the same coin of the Xuan Tian Sect’s might in the first place.”
“The so-called [Bestowment] and [Deprivation] are actually both the taking of Heaven and the use of Heaven’s handle power.”
Thinking about this, Li Fan took out a blank encrypted jade slip, and the Dao Transformation Stone in his brain slightly operated.
The [Heavenly Xuan Spirit Locking Formation] formation structure diagram that he knew so well in his previous life was engraved in the jade slip.
It was only that Li Fan had made a few deletions and alterations, and had intentionally hidden the subtle structure of the central core formation part.
It took half a day to complete the inscription of the formation diagram.
He held the jade slip in his hand, his face looking uncertain: “The Heavenly Spirit State achieved a great victory, and the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance seems to have the upper hand. In truth, all appearances of superiority are false.”
“The Elder Celestials of the Five Elders’ Association only didn’t choose to make a move because of the agreement they made with Transmission of the Law in the first place.”
“In reality, the Transmission of the Law Heavenly Father has already ……”
Suddenly, Li Fan was slightly stunned.
Originally, he was thinking that the Transmission of Law Heavenly Father had already left the Xuan Huang Realm. Once this matter was exposed, in front of the Five Elderly Council with the strength of five Elderly Celestial Emperors, it would be almost difficult for the Ten Thousand Year Alliance to resist. By leaking the Spirit Locking Formation Diagram to the Five Elders’ Council, he might possibly cause the situation of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to rapidly collapse under, exposing the fact that he was strong on the outside.
But soon, he realized the fallacy in his perception.
In his last life, it was in Anchor 41 that Senior Sister Zhao had made a test run, which had finally determined that the Transmission Heavenly Father had drifted away.
However, when exactly Transmission of Dharma had left was anyone’s guess.
Only from the 24th year of the Anchor, when the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance set out to fully popularize the Tianxuan Spirit-locking Formation, might one be able to catch some glimpses.
However, Li Fan felt that at the very beginning, when they, the various array dao Junjies, were receiving training, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was not in that much of a hurry.
Perhaps it was because the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance itself did not notice the departure of Transmission of Dharma, or perhaps it was because ……
Heavenly Father Transmission of Dharma really had not yet left at that time.
“Should we push the envelope and test the waters.”
For a moment, Li Fan could not help but hesitate.
However, after pondering for a long time, he eventually gave up on this decision for the time being.
The main goal in this life was still to form a baby.
Only when the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance won the battle in the Heavenly Spirit State and the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven was relocated away, would Li Fan have the opportunity to go to that mysterious void that constantly gave birth to the Five Elements Cave Heaven to find out what was going on.
And if the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance were to be routed, and there was no room for him to move freely when the nest was overturned, he would instead have no room for free movement.
“But there can’t be no pressure at all on the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. Otherwise, if the Five Elders’ Association loses successive battles, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance will feel that the opposite side is really unbeatable, and that there is no need to migrate the Five Elemental Great Cave Heaven at all. That would be a bit embarrassing.”
After thinking for a long time, Li Fan crushed the encrypted jade slip in his hand.
Taking out another blank one, he re-burned it.
This time, it also deleted the central part of the formation, and only retained the structural diagram of the outermost formation area.
“The so-called seeing is knowing. The Five Elders’ Association is certainly not lacking in formation geniuses, and with me revealing a part of the formation, completely cracking the Spirit Locking Formation might not be possible.” “But having some countermeasures against it shouldn’t be a problem.”
Li Fan, who had worked hard to complete his masterpiece, flickered his gaze and put the encrypted jade sketch away in a separate storage ring.
Three days later.
Li Fan once again met up with the spies of the Five Elders Association.
“Fellow Daoist Zhou, what’s the word?”
As soon as Li Fan appeared, he couldn’t wait to ask.
“The drawings we can get.” Li Fan said directly.
The Five Elders Association cultivator was first stunned, then his face was filled with unbelievable ecstasy.
However, soon after, Li Fan poured cold water on the other party, “But there are only drawings of the outer array structure ……”
“Moreover, it’s still the initial version. This Xuan Tian Spirit Sealing Formation has since gone through an unknown number of derivations and iterations, so I’m afraid it’s already completely different.”
“It can only be used as a reference for you.”
Li Fan said indifferently.
When the Five Elders Association cultivator heard this, he was a bit disappointed.
But soon, he revitalized his spirit.
Being able to get the original diagram of the formation’s external structure was already a great feat.
It was also a more reasonable and expected result.
After all, the [Xuan Tian Spirit Sealing Formation] had a high level of secrecy, and among all the secrets of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, it could be ranked at the top of the list.
The Five Elders’ Association had lost several deeply hidden spies and had failed to pry out a single bit of information.
If this one in front of him could take it all in stride and answer with his mouth full.
Then he was afraid that he would have to wonder if this was a trap.
Or, whether this person in front of him was the Heavenly Dharma Transmitter himself.
“There’s no harm in it, having the original formation diagram is also excellent.”
The Five Elders Association cultivator was filled with anticipation as he looked at Li Fan, “What conditions do you have?”
Li Fan, on the other hand, said in a deep voice, “The value of the formation diagrams, I believe you know it very well in your heart, so I won’t say more, it simply cannot be measured in terms of contribution.”
“However, our requirements are also very simple.”
Li Fan’s gaze was ghostly, revealing an inscrutable expression, “You, the Five Elders Association, need to cooperate with our actions at certain necessary moments.”
The Five Elders Association Spy was slightly stunned, followed by a frown, “What does this mean?”
Li Fan did not answer, and continued by himself, “With the power of the [Contract] in place, I believe that you will not back out.”
“Don’t worry, we won’t make particularly excessive demands either.”
“At the critical moment, at the most, in the land of one state, we will need your Five Elders Association to provide support.”
The Five Elders Association spies fell silent.
“Wait a moment.”
He turned his back and his eyes closed as if he was asking for instructions from his superiors.
Only after a long time did he turn around, already sweating profusely.
“We agree to the deal.”
One more chapter to update before noon tomorrow. Last few days of the year, a little busy.
Just get past it.
