Chapter 551: A Real Weakness

Chapter 547: A Real Weakness

Li Fan didn’t know how long it had been since he had taken a good look at himself.

What he subconsciously thought of himself as in his mind was fixed at the skinny scholarly look of a 20 year old.

After all, no matter how much his appearance aged, in the end, once he unleashed [Returning Truth].

Returning to the anchor point, he would still look like this.

So for Li Fan, aging, in fact, was a pseudo-proposition.

The world’s living beings are all afraid of: old age, sickness, and death, for him, it is just a kind of “state” that can be gotten rid of at any time, for a while.

Even these changes in his own body, Li Fan has a certain degree of “indifference”.

Not to mention all the people in the Xuan Huang Realm.

Kou Hong, Dao Xuan Zi, He Zheng Hao, Zhang Zhiliang, Xiao Heng ……

These people, each reincarnation, their destiny will change along with Li Fan’s actions.

The enemies who fought to the death in the previous life may turn into close friends who drink and rejoice in the next life.

In the next life, they might become Li Fan’s loyal henchmen.

And after that?

Perhaps they would become a path, the innocent souls of the dead that were spared during Li Fan’s fight with someone.

But ……

No matter what happens to them, once Li Fan activates [Returning Truth], their “state” will return to the anchoring moment chosen by Li Fan.

Then, for them, this experience of one life after another, is it considered to be unreal in another sense?
When people satirize some extremely selfish people, they like to say something like “the world doesn’t revolve around you, why should others give in to you in every way”.

But to Li Fan, the world, at least the Xuanhuang Realm where he is.

Indeed, the world, at least the Xuanhuang Realm where he is, is centered on him.

With a thought, the world resets.

The past and the past are all in the clouds.

In such a situation, how could Li Fan treat the people in this world as if they existed in the same frame as himself?

Even if it is only with the help of a special treasure, Li Fan, who is able to reverse time, is indeed unable to treat the beings of the Xuan Huang Realm as his own “kind”.

Li Fan scrutinized himself in the mirror for a long time, but he didn’t find the kind of “silence” that Gao Yuan mentioned.

This might mean that even Li Fan himself had not noticed some kind of subtle changes that were happening to him.

Just like that [mental age] that is still growing steadily even with the [Return to Truth] over and over again, Li Fan himself may not have noticed the subtle changes that are happening to him.

Li Fan’s body was actually not always as unchanging as he himself believed it to be.

The [Return of Truth] can reverse time, but Li Fan, as the carrier of the [Return of Truth], has the ability to remain “changed” under the [Return of Truth].

“I thought my acting skills were good enough ……,” Li Fan laughed slightly to himself.

Li Fan’s eyes closed for a moment, and when he opened them again, his eyes seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.

It seemed to have become more spiritual and vivid, with so much love for everything around him in the world.

Li Fan once again watched carefully and kept adjusting.

Only after a long time did he stop moving.

“It’s changed over for now.”

“However, acting is acting after all. No matter how much it resembles it, it’s not real.”

“In this world, there are too many people with unimaginable abilities. Even Cong Yunhai, an ordinary standing guard cultivator, has such keen insight.”

“To want to fool everyone in the world, I think it’s currently impossible to do so.”

“But no matter, it’s not a big deal to break.”

“It’s not like there aren’t any [people who are desperate for love and justice] in the world.” Regarding this little episode, Li Fan merely made a slight adjustment himself and did not put much stock in it.

The fact that Gao Yuan and the others brainstormed that he, Li Fan, might be an Everlasting Heavenly Father who had fallen out of his realm was even more of a bit of a laugh for him.

“I actually really don’t have any deep meaning. It’s purely just to find an excuse to escape the great war that might break out in the future in the Heavenly Spirit State.”

Li Fan, who had left the Ten Thousand Immortals Island alone and quietly, dived to the bottom of the sea.

It went all the way down to tens of thousands of meters below the trench, ensuring that no one was tracking him.

Only then did Li Fan unleash the [Qi Xuan True Spirit Transformation] and changed back to his original appearance.

He also buried all the items that he had obtained from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance since he entered the world with the identity of “Ancient Sky Machine Sect Cultivator”, and covered and sealed them with the 【Only Hands Covering the Sky】.

With his entire body naked, Li Fan changed his clothes and returned to the sea.

First, he borrowed a set of suitable clothes to change into on a nearby mortal island, and then went straight to the island where the [Empire] and the others were located.

Within a short time, he arrived at his destination.

Since he did not conceal his aura, when he was about to approach, the Imperial Saint Master, that is, the Green Luan Bird that was beside Xu Ke back then, sent a divine sense warning.

“What can I do for you, fellow Daoist?”

Li Fan stopped and stood in the air with a slight smile.

He just replied with the word “Union”.

Shortly afterward, Xiao Qing personally flew out and came to greet him.

After carefully observing Li Fan for a while, she welcomed him to the secret room of the island.

Li Chenfeng didn’t seem to be on the island and didn’t know where he had gone.

Even the phase-less killing machine’s locking spirit had temporarily lost its effect.

Li Fan replayed the images recorded by the Dao Transformation Stone in his sea of consciousness and realized that he had left the Xuan Huang Realm instead.

However, the location of this departure was not the same as the last time he returned to the Empire.

“Not the Empire, but another small world?”

Li Fan’s heart stirred, but he didn’t make a sound, just secretly memorized it in his mind.

“This fellow Daoist, is he also from the Federation of Ten Thousand Worlds?” Xiao Qing asked as she opened the door.

“Not bad. I was ordered by His Excellency to come and inform you all that I’m afraid our cooperation will have to be temporarily suspended.” Li Fan said indifferently.

“What?!” Even though Xiao Qing had already lived for thousands of years, at this moment, when she heard such sudden news, she was stunned for a moment.

She was so shocked that she directly stood up, and with a pair of phoenix eyes, she stared tightly at Li Fan.

“What does this mean?”

Immediately afterward, she looked at Li Fan with some suspicion, her eyes narrowing slightly, “Are you really someone from the Ten Thousand Realms Confederation?”

Surprisingly, she was already suspecting Li Fan’s identity.

Killing intent slowly flowed in the air, and Li Fan arched his hand, signaling Xiao Qing not to be too nervous.

He explained, “It’s not that we, the Ten Thousand Realms Federation, intend to backtrack, there’s really a reason for what happened.”

“Not only are you [Empire], but even a bunch of other small worlds, we have all temporarily cut off contact with them.”

“The meaning from above is that everyone should hunker down for a while and wait for the wind to pass.”

Xiao Qing’s tightly locked brows did not stretch at all, and she was about to speak when she heard Li Fan say, “I know that you guys are in a hurry to escape the Xuan Huang Realm.”

“But indeed the situation is special and there is no other choice.”

“After all, we benefited greatly from the last transaction. Still can’t wait to complete the rest of the deal as soon as possible.”
