Chapter 169: Counterattacking the Immortal Cultivation World
Chapter 168 – Counterattacking the Immortal Cultivation Realm
According to Jiao Xiuyuan’s previous information, Sikong Yi had to come to this cave every once in a while.
Solely Li Fan waited here.
Luck was on his side.
Ten days later, Li Fan, who was in cultivation, opened his eyes.
Sikong Yi and Baili Dust, expressionless, walked into this hidden cave of theirs.
And when they saw Li Fan ambushed inside, their faces couldn’t help but show dismay as well as disbelief.
“You ……”
Before a single word could be uttered, they were caught by Li Fan’s Insect Binding Avatar.
There was no nonsense, and they were exterminated on the spot.
After waiting for their resurrection counts to vanish into thin air, completely disappearing from the world.
Li Fan put away the Heaven Stealing Order that had fallen to the ground and started refining the split up.
As a matter of fact, the cultivation level of a bilocation was only one small realm behind that of the main body.
However, Li Fan realized that in order to refine a Foundation Establishment Stage bilocation, it was still inevitable to add heaven and earth wonders as materials.
“Perhaps the Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun Technique was indeed strong in the beginning, but after the Immortal Elder passed on the method, it has become a chicken rib.”
“It’s no wonder that this Heaven Stealing Sun Changing Sect is not as good as a generation.”
“This doppelganger is used to send people to their deaths anyway, so I won’t waste the heaven and earth wonders.”
“A cultivation level of Qi Refining Perfection is also enough.”
After thinking for a while, Li Fan began the refining of the bilocation.
This was already the third time Li Fan had refined a split body, and it was a breeze.
Not long after, the split body reappeared once again in the heavens and earth.
Putting on his clothes, the doppelganger went to Spirit Rhythm Island on his own and joined the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Li Fan did not leave, but took out He Zhenghao’s communication spirit talisman and initiated a message.
“Fellow Daoist He, I have been traveling outside for the past few days. Yet, I heard some bad rumors about you.”
He Zhenghao replied quickly, “Bad rumors? Oh, fellow Daoist must be mistaken. I He Zhenghao is widely known for his good karma, and his image and reputation are excellent. How could ……”
“Oh? Then all those little rumors about you helping mortals smuggle across the border are all false? It’s really hateful, actually maliciously creating rumors! But the rumors are made up with style, what with leaving the realm ……”
“Cough cough cough ……” Before Li Fan could finish, He Zheng Hao’s panicked voice came. “Where did you hear this, fellow Daoist?”
“This matter still needs to be discussed face to face. Is fellow Daoist free? Please also take the trouble to come to my Liuli Island.” He Zhenghao’s voice was a bit grave.
“Hehe, free, free.” Li Fan smiled, put away the communication spirit talisman and headed straight to Liuli Island.
After exiting the teleportation array, He Zhenghao greeted him.
Immediately afterward, he activated the Mountain and River Star Dipper Grand Formation.
Li Fan’s vision was already different from before after decades of studying formations.
The mountains and rivers above his head were operating like stars, and the power of this formation was clearly still above the [Can Spirit Illusory Wave Grand Formation] that Li Fan had purchased.
“This island protection formation of yours is truly extraordinary!” Li Fan exclaimed.
“Oh? Fellow Daoist also understands formations?” He Zhenghao heard this and a look of surprise flashed across his face.
“A little bit, a little bit. It’s just that formation techniques are vast and profound. Without a famous teacher to lead you in, just relying on oneself to study it is really a slow progress.” Li Fan sighed.
“Hehe, if you do not mind, you can come to my place and discuss with me.” As soon as He Zhenghao talked about formations, he immediately came into the spirit, and even the reason for inviting Li Fan here for a while was also put behind him. “It’s not that I’m bragging. In terms of formations only, if we don’t talk about cultivation, the unusual YuanYing realm formation masters on the Ten Thousand Immortals Island may not be as good as me. Perhaps only Zhang Zhiliang, Gong Bo Yu, and three or four others can barely hold me down.”
“Most of this Mountain and River Star Dipper Formation was constructed by me personally.” He Zhenghao spoke confidently.
Li Fan laughed and did not answer.
Instead, he asked, “Let’s put the issue of the formation aside for now, I wonder if you called me over to see if it’s about that mortal smuggling thing?”
The look on He Zhenghao’s face froze.
“Ai.” He sighed.
“And I won’t hide it from you, Daoist, I was indeed secretly doing some trading to help mortals smuggle people across the border. Originally, I always thought that I had covered it up well, but I didn’t want to actually let the news slip. Where exactly did you hear about this?” He Zhenghao’s eyes were full of sorrow and doubt.
“Some time ago, I went to attend the fish fixing. The rumor about fellow Daoist was something I happened to hear mentioned between conversations at that time. As for the specific person, I don’t recognize him.” Li Fan had already prepared his words and replied.
When He Zhenghao heard this, his heart went cold.
“Bad! Every time the fish is fixed, how many cultivators go to participate! The matter of me helping mortals to smuggle them across the border might have spread throughout the Cong Yun Sea by now!”
“Hehe, fellow Daoist doesn’t need to scare yourself.” Li Fan hurriedly consoled.
“Besides, it’s not just helping mortals return to the Immortal Cultivation World. Although it’s a bit taboo, it’s not a big deal. After all, you are a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and you are also the island town guard. It’s hard to believe that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance would really do anything to you?” Li Fan said again with some disbelief.
He Zhenghao, however, shook his head repeatedly and sighed, “Fellow Daoist doesn’t do business in this area, so it’s normal that you don’t understand the inside story. Helping mortals to smuggle people across the border can be more than simply breaking taboos.”
“If it’s more serious, the most serious, but it will be dealt with according to the [Sin of Rebellion]. At that time, not to mention the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, even the Five Elders Association side won’t have a place to stay.”
Li Fan really froze this time, “Treason against the realm? How could it be so serious?”
He Zhenghao said helplessly, “It wasn’t caused by that farce five hundred years ago.”
Under his explanation, Li Fan understood what was really going on.
It turned out that there were thousands of small worlds and cave heavens that mortals moved to in the original Great Migration Program.
Thousands of years had passed, and these places that were originally all immortal extinct places with no aura coverage.
But there are also some, because of all kinds of coincidence, the birth of all kinds of extraordinary power.
Some of the aura recovery, there are mortals stowaway will get rid of the immortal miasma method back to their hometown, reopen the immortal road.
Some developed the secret art of body refining, specializing in the physical body. The physical body was so strong that the attacks of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators were like scratching an itch.
Some, although still weak, had mastered the method of communicating with spirit beasts. When they fought with their spirit beasts, they could likewise erupt with remarkable combat power.
……
With the resentment of being forcibly expelled from their hometowns back then, these small worlds, under someone’s lobbying, actually came to an agreement.
To unite and counterattack the Immortal Cultivation World!
It was said that the number of small worlds that responded at that time was dozens of them, and the momentum was enormous.
The sudden appearance of the allied forces of small worlds caught the cultivators of that time off guard.
“But after all, it was just a bunch of rabble, so when the Harmonized Immortal Exalt stepped in, he easily suppressed them!”
“Throughout the entire process, it seems like we didn’t damage many cultivators either.”
“That’s why it’s a farce.”
“Come to think of it, counterattacking the Immortal Cultivation World. Oh, how can that be!”
“However, after all, there is a precedent. The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association, therefore, set up rules.”
He Zhenghao frowned with a worried expression on his face.
