Chapter 1126 Still in front of the Immortal
Chapter 1126 Still in front of the Immortal
Nine Mountain State.
"Today is a good day." Zhao Xian wrote his name on the golden contract in front of him, and when a golden light flew into his body and the contract was established, he laughed happily.
The five elders in the shop collected the contract and also showed joy and voiced their agreement.
For the rest of the day, Zhao Xian had more detailed negotiations with the Five Elders on the trade agreement. It wasn't until he saw them off to the city's hospitality cave for rest that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Instead of returning to his own cave, he turned back to the shop and entered the underground secret room.
Looking at the featureless statue hidden in the darkness, Zhao Xian's expression was complex with many thoughts.
Since the Universal Alliance was annihilated by the Immortal Alliance and put on the list of permanent capture, as an undercover agent of the Alliance in Nine Mountain State, Zhao Xian had been living in constant fear.
Every day, he felt uneasy and often had hallucinations of the Immortal Alliance coming to arrest him.
Without the supplies provided by the Alliance, the shop's merchandise was greatly affected. Customer flow declined daily and they almost couldn't hold on. In the end, he had to use up all the savings he had accumulated over the years to barely rebuild the supply chain.
"At least it's all over," Zhao Xian said to himself.
The storm of the Alliance had subsided.
During the strictest days of the Immortal Alliance's search, they couldn't discover Zhao Xian's true identity. It should be safe for him in the future.
After years of hard work, the business in the shop had returned to normal. Recently, he had even reached a commercial agreement with a caravan from the Five Elders. The annual value of the fixed trade goods alone reached millions of contribution.
"Although I don't have the rewards of a true immortal, the profits from the shop are enough to support me all the way to the stage of spiritual transformation."
"With the demise of the Alliance, the profits no longer need to be handed over and are all mine. Life is even more prosperous than before," Zhao Xian thought with some satisfaction.
"It's truly a mixed blessing, and the world is unpredictable."
After taking one last look at the featureless statue, Zhao Xian decided to permanently seal off the underground secret room.
The secret of his membership in the Universal Alliance would never be known to anyone.
"The true immortal is merciful, and I believe he won't blame me," Zhao Xian bowed respectfully and sealed the secret room.
After completing all of this, Zhao Xian felt a sense of relief and a sense of renewal.
But on the way back to his cave, he looked up at the deep blue sky of the Yellow Realm and felt a sudden wave of unease for some reason.
Zhao Xian always had confidence in his intuition, so he stopped in his tracks.
Carefully recalling every detail of his recent life, Zhao Xian thought for a long time but couldn't find anything wrong.
"Weird..."
The chaotic feeling in his heart grew stronger, and suddenly he felt something and looked around at the people.
A quick glance made him break out in a cold sweat.
It wasn't just him.
In the free trade city of Nine Mountains, every cultivator strolling in the streets seemed to have a vague sense of something amiss. Their hearts were chaotic, and they looked nervous.
Some were even sweating profusely and seemed to be floating in their steps.
"This..." A scene of ants moving collectively before a storm suddenly appeared in Zhao Xian's mind.
"Could there be a great catastrophe about to happen?"
Suddenly, Zhao Xian thought of the origin of the Nine Mountain Trade State.
Originally, this place was a chaotic territory with dragons and snakes mixed together, and nine mountains stood side by side. But due to the battle between Immortal Alliance and the Five Elders, under the gaze of the Heavenly Lord Dharma, the mountains and rivers turned into plains.
That's how the prosperous Nine Mountain State came into being.
"Could it be that the events of that day are about to replay?" Zhao Xian had this thought and couldn't help but shudder.
Although his rationality told him that neither the Immortal Alliance nor the Five Elders would start another war in Nine Mountain State for the sake of their mutual interests,
The strange situation in front of him made him convinced that a disaster was about to happen!
"Run!"
Just a moment later, Zhao Xian made a decision.
Yes, he loved money.
He also wanted to become a powerful cultivator, to dominate a region.
But all of this was based on being able to save his own life.
With the abilities he had honed in Nine Mountain State over the years, even if he had to start from scratch somewhere else, he could rise again.
Moreover, the most valuable items in the shop were always under Zhao Xian's personal care.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xian immediately changed direction, disregarding the ban in the city, and flew quickly towards the border of Nine Mountain State.
His abnormal behavior naturally attracted the attention of the cultivators in the city. As if triggering a chain reaction, for no reason, they also started to flee.
It was like the instinctive struggle of a beast sensing a life or death crisis.
And indeed, the premonitions of these cultivators were not wrong.
They hadn't escaped far when a terrifying shock wave descended upon them from behind.
The sky suddenly darkened.
Countless cultivators couldn't even utter a cry before they were engulfed by the unknown terror.
Feeling the disappearance of thousands of breaths behind him, extreme fear took over his mind.
At that moment, his thoughts raced at an unprecedented speed.
"There must be a terrible disaster about to befall Nine Mountain State."
"My strength is obviously incapable of surviving this catastrophe."
"I'm still a long way from the border of Nine Mountain State. There's simply not enough time to escape to a safe place."
"Nine Mountain State doesn't have a transmission formation because the spatial structure here is extremely unstable. Initiating a transmission on my own will not only fail to reach the target location, but may also randomly teleport to another location or even get lost in the void..."
"But there's still hope for survival..."
Zhao Xian's thoughts raced, and his body instinctively reacted.
He directly activated the random teleportation array in his storage ring.
The surrounding scene distorted and blurred.
After a brief dizziness, Zhao Xian escaped from Nine Mountain State and arrived in an unfamiliar place.
But the scene before him brought him no joy of survival.
Instead, it was like falling into an icy cave, his mind blank.
It was as if he was floating in the sky, overlooking the Yellow Realm.
On the ground, there were thousands of black dots scattered.
Like a dark abyss, swallowing everything around it.
The entire world seemed to be torn apart by these black dots, forming twisted fragments like crumpled paper.
The cultivators on the ground, no matter how they struggled, couldn't last a moment in the black domain.
They turned into twisted light and disappeared into the black dots.
...
"So disasters are not only happening in Jiushan Prefecture?"
"What is this?"
"Is it the end of the world, is the world about to be destroyed?" Zhao Xian stood there in shock.
But soon, his attention was drawn to another strange scene that complemented the end-of-the-world spectacle.
Above the Xuanhuang realm, which was torn into thousands of twisted pieces in an instant, suddenly appeared a painting that looked like countless colors of paint splattered at random.
On the ink-splattered painting, countless scenes changed rapidly with each moment.
And in front of this strange painting, a figure stood with hands behind their back.
As if sensing the gaze from Sun Xian far away, the figure turned its head.
Before Zhao Xian could see the person's face clearly, his body and soul were shattered into countless pieces because of the overwhelming pressure.
"Huh?"
After a moment, Li Fan already knew why this unlucky person had come here.
He shook his head slightly and no longer paid attention to him, instead focusing on the countless changes in the Xuanhuang realm that were pouring out in front of him.
Those countless black dots were the puppeteers that Li Fan had sent out to draw the power of the immortal.
The power of the immortals in Xianyu, transmitted through the connection of those puppets, spread into the Xuanhuang realm, causing a boundless disaster.
As expected by Li Fan, the appearance of the immortal's power in Xianyu immediately triggered the spontaneous reaction of the faceless true immortals next to the puppets that Li Fan had arranged.
These faceless true immortals had no physical form. They were purely condensed from the source essence of the faceless true immortals by Li Fan.
When the power of the immortal was directed towards them, an indescribable force inexplicably emerged from the source essence.
It disappeared like melting snow and ice, leaving behind an incomprehensible force replacing it, colliding with the power of the immortal.
Like two giant waves crashing into each other, creating thousands of splashes.
In an instant, the Xuanhuang realm was torn into thousands of pieces.
But it seemed that because of the struggle between the two, the already pockmarked Xuanhuang realm did not collapse immediately.
"It seems that my worry was unnecessary."
"It seems that the faceless true immortals have not noticed my presence."
Li Fan thought to himself.
"Draw the essence of the heavens and the earth, to obtain their divinity."
As he said this, he took the bizarre ink-splattered painting in front of him and absorbed it all into the shadow of the Five Elements Grand Cave behind him.
Before Li Fan's eyes, scenes of the past, present, and future trajectories of the Xuanhuang realm were replayed like a revolving lantern.
In addition, Li Fan also sensed a strong desire for survival from the essence.
As he carefully regarded the images, he unexpectedly realized that the Xuanhuang realm was seeking to cooperate with him.
"Even if the world is dying, it is no different from humans."
"It is obvious that it has discovered me deceiving the Heavenly Dao, but for the possibility of a glimmer of hope, it not only does not blame me, but is even willing to cooperate with me..."
"This is something I hadn't thought of before."
Li Fan snorted coldly and did not agree to the request of the Xuanhuang realm.
Nor did he directly refuse.
Instead, he accelerated the speed of drawing the essence of the heavens and the earth.
As numerous changes merged into his body, the Five Elements Grand Cave also began to undergo earth-shattering changes.
In stark contrast to the Xuanhuang realm, which had already reached the end of the world, the Five Elements Grand Cave was experiencing unprecedented prosperity.
The circulation of the Five Elements tended to merge.
Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth merged into one, and the apparent barriers within each of the Grand Caves slowly disappeared.
A new, infinitely vibrant world was taking shape.
...
At this moment, Li Fan, who was about to successfully ascend to the realm of godhood, inexplicably felt a sense of danger.
A beam of light appeared from beyond the void and arrived in an instant.
"No!"
After seeing the current state of the Xuanhuang realm, he let out a furious roar.
And in that instant, the figure of the person who had returned, crossing the vast expanse of space, locked onto Li Fan.
As their eyes met, both of them looked stunned.
Li Fan was stunned because he had thought that the person who had returned would be someone to teach him.
But he never expected that the figure appearing in this life would be the Heavenly Doctor.
And the Heavenly Doctor was stunned that the last successor of the Heavenly Law Realm, Li Fan, would be here for some reason.
And that he was mercilessly drawing the essence of the heavens and the earth from the Xuanhuang realm.
"You came back so quickly," Li Fan thought to himself.
"Indeed."
Without any hesitation, Li Fan immediately activated the true resurrection in his mind.
Affected by the power of the immortal in Xianyu, the restraint of the net of the true immortals on Li Fan had weakened.
The Heavenly Doctor had also noticed him.
So without being greedy, he directly activated the true resurrection.
The surrounding scenery suddenly became void.
At this moment, Li Fan clearly saw the surprise on the face of the Heavenly Doctor and the burst of light from his murky eyes.
"What has he discovered?" Li Fan's heart tightened suddenly.
But the surrounding scenery had almost frozen.
Even the actions of the powerful Heavenly Doctor appeared slow to Li Fan.
A thick fog enveloped everything.
All things in the world were about to turn real into false, and substance into void.
Just at this moment...
From the countless black dots in the Xuanhuang realm, a dazzling light burst forth.
The power of the immortal that could easily tear the Xuanhuang realm to shreds was actually suppressed at that moment.
Among all the static scenes, only this glimmer of light was affected the least.
Although it appeared in slow motion to Li Fan, it still surged towards him at an extremely fast speed.
"Faceless True Immortal!"
Li Fan's heart felt like it was being squeezed by a hand.
The threat of the Heavenly Doctor was thrown out of his mind in that instant.
"After all, he has discovered me..."
"The spirits of the heavens and the earth, the countless beings refining the gods!"
A blood-red giant net spread out around Li Fan.
Layer upon layer, densely packed.
It seemed like countless fierce human faces.
The red giant net rose from Li Fan and expanded frantically around him.
The living beings in the net, countless billions and trillions, all shouted out in agony before their impending death.
The dazzling light ignored the red giant net and continued to surge towards Li Fan with unwavering determination.
Li Fan had never felt that the activation of the true resurrection would be so slow.
He watched as the dazzling white light was about to reach him.
His body involuntarily stiffened, becoming cold.
Even his thoughts began to freeze.
Fortunately...
The red giant net had some effect in hindering the light.
At the moment when the dazzling light locked onto Li Fan.
Li Fan successfully activated the true resurrection.
All the scenes became illusory.
Only the dazzling white light remained radiant.
...
Anchor for 1 year.
Dissipate at the mountain summit.
Escape from death, Li Fan's body was soaked in sweat, panting heavily.
"Is this the power of a true immortal?"
"The thoughts of countless souls are so feeble in front of him."
Li Fan was thinking this when he suddenly felt that his body was a little abnormal.
He was not using his eyes to see, because...
Li Fan reached out and touched his face, and his body trembled slightly.
His face had disappeared.
