Chapter 647: The Disappearing Heavenly Father

Chapter 642 – The Disappearing Heavenly Dignitary

At the end of the Great Plague Era, the vast majority of mortals had already been relocated to various cavernous heavens and small worlds under the compulsion of the Immortal Cultivators.

However, immediately after the influence of the Immortal Dharma not being able to be practiced together became stronger and stronger, the Immortal Cultivators ultimately did not manage to escape the fate of killing each other. The Immortal Sect broke down, and the Immortal Cultivation Civilization also ushered in a long period of darkness.

As the saying goes, both sides of the coin are in a state of flux.

The number of Immortal Cultivators was extremely reduced and nearly extinct. But the mortals, like vigorous weeds, reappeared from all over the world.

As for the origin of these newly born mortals, some people said that they were the fish that escaped the net during the Great Migration Movement. Others said that they were the offspring born to Immortal Cultivators. Others said that it was the mortals of the small worlds who had broken through the blockade of the Immortal Extermination Formation and returned again.

In short, as the Immortal Cultivators slowly disappeared above the earth. The mortals of the Xuanhuang Realm also began to gradually grow in the cracks.

Along with the mortals, there was also the Xuanhuang Clear Heart Mantra.

It was like a ballad or a legend that came out of nowhere. By word of mouth, almost all human communities knew of this method that allowed mortals to escape the influence of the Immortal-Mundane Miasma and return to the path of cultivation.

The current cultivators speculated that this was most likely the handiwork of the mysterious East Extreme Heavenly Father of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

This was because the Body Purifying Spirit Pool, which was also capable of getting rid of the Immortal Mortal Miasma, was created by none other than the East Extreme Heavenly Father. Most likely, the Xuanhuang Clear Heart Mantra was the attempt of the East Extreme Heavenly Father before he created the Pure Body Spirit Pool.

However, Li Fan, who now knew the true nature of the Xuanhuang Clear Heart Mantra, understood that this possibility was very low.

East Extreme Heavenly Father, the nominal leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, had only appeared a handful of times in the initial recorded history of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, and then disappeared completely.

Instead of saying that he was a True Immortal, Li Fan thought that it was more likely that he had discovered the mysteries of the Xuan Huang Clear Heart Mantra just like himself.

Inspired, he then created the Pure Body Spirit Pool.

“Perhaps, the disappearance of the East Extreme Heavenly Father is also related to the Xuan Huang Immortal Heart Mantra?” Li Fan couldn’t help but have this thought emerge in his mind.

When Li Fan tried to look up the information on the East Extreme Heavenly Father, it was just as blank as before, without the slightest bit of extra records.

This was obviously completely incompatible with the identity of the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

“What a fine thought.”

Li Fan then stopped looking deeper into the matter and turned to once again scrutinize the Xuan Huang Immortal Heart Incantation.

Half a month later, Li Fan once again summoned a group of people in the Buzheng Hall.

Originally thought that Li Fan had some heavy news to announce, but didn’t want to wait for the message that Li Fan was going to close down again.

“Isn’t it just a short while after leaving the customs? He’s going into seclusion again? Can’t it be that ancient cultivators are all so diligent when it comes to practicing?”

“Lord Secret Envoy, he doesn’t lack contribution, he can reside in the [Enlightened Spirit] state, and cultivation is simply a pleasure. In my place, I could do the same.”

“Earlier, there were gossips that Lord had already recovered to the YuanYing realm. It’s hard to believe that now he’s going to break through to Transformation God again?”

……

Amidst the crowd’s chatter, only He Zhenghao was pondering.

“It seems that this should be Lord Secret Envoy preparing for the descent of the Heaven and Earth Spirit.”

He inadvertently glanced at Zhou Qingang who was on the side.

When the Lord Secret Envoy announced this matter, there was no color on his face, so it was clear that he had already known about this.

When he thought about the very beginning, it was clear that he was the most trusted by Lord Secret Envoy. Unfortunately, because of his own momentary greed, he had allowed this kid to snatch the trust away. Thinking about this, a wave of discomfort surged in He Zheng Hao’s heart.

With a turn of his eyes, an idea surfaced in his mind in a flash.

So he transmitted his voice towards Zhou Qingang, “How is Fellow Daoist Zhou’s cultivation state these days?”

Zhou Qingang was somewhat surprised to see He Zhenghao, who had come to accost him, and after thinking about it, he instantly realized the little idea he had hit upon.

He laughed coldly in his heart, so he replied along with He Zhenghao’s words, “Hehe, Brother He is joking. You also know that Mr. Secret Envoy does not care about political affairs, small and large trivial matters are handed over to us to deal with. Originally, there was also Gao Yuan to help share the burden, but not long ago he also took a leave of absence, so it became even busier.”

“Dealing with political matters alone consumes most of my time every day, so how can I meditate and cultivate.”

He Zhenghao pretended to be very agreeable, sighed, and chimed in.

However, soon after, his words changed.

“I have a word for you, Fellow Daoist, I wonder if you are willing to listen?”

Zhou Qingang first froze, then hurriedly said, “Brother He, please speak.”

He Zhenghao said with a straight face, “It’s certainly good that you, Daoist friend, are doing your best to share your worries for Lord Secret Envoy.”

“But ……”

He Zhenghao said in a serious tone, “Iron still needs to be hard! Even if you are no longer favored by His Excellency, your strength is only Jindan after all. It’s still the weakest pre-Jindan stage. Now in this small Cong Yunhai, you can still control your men. But as His Excellency’s cultivation continues to recover, his own realm is getting higher and higher. At that time, his men will certainly be gathered under the God of Transformation and the First Infant. If you do not move forward, how will you be able to convince the people at that time?”

Zhou Qingang’s face changed slightly when he heard this.

First, he looked like he was opening his mouth to retort, but then he quickly fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, He Zhenghao couldn’t help but feel smug in his heart.

“This rhetoric of Gao Yuan’s is really good. If it wasn’t for my firmness in the Dao, I’m afraid I would have almost been convinced by him in the first place.” He Zhenghao secretly thought.

After a long time, Zhou Qingang seemed to have thought clearly and showed a bitter face.

“Fellow Daoist is right. But it’s true that I can’t get away and it’s difficult for me to meditate and cultivate.” He looked at He Zhenghao and said.

He Zhenghao’s expression perked up, “Why doesn’t Fellow Daoist Zhou follow Gao Yuan’s example? Within the ruins of the Chao Yuan Sect, there must be great opportunities. If we can obtain it, at least we will be able to ascend a small realm. Even a breakthrough to the YuanYing realm is not impossible.”

Zhou Qingang wanted to speak.

He Zhenghao, however, preempted him, “I know what you’re worried about, it’s just that you’re afraid of delaying your political affairs. Don’t worry, I’m here! Since I have one more errand, I don’t care if I have one more!”

Zhou Qingang face of suspicion: “In this case, why do you not go and why you? When, you are so for the sake of colleagues?”

He Zhenghao showed a displeased look, “That’s what I said. At first, Lord Secret Envoy reminded me that amongst the few of us, unity should come first. For the sake of the two brothers being able to raise their cultivation, what’s wrong with me working hard for a while?”

“You have to know that as Lord Secret Envoy’s cultivation gets higher and higher, there will definitely be more and more people following behind him in the future. We are natural allies, helping you guys is helping myself.”

He Zhenghao paused and after observing Zhou Qingang’s face for a moment, he continued, “Furthermore, I have recently had a realization in my heart, and I’m afraid that I’m not far from breaking through to YuanYing. Without the need for chance, I am also certain of promotion within ten years!”

“Why don’t you be a man of honor?”
