Chapter 1160 Mind-reading Tianxuan Mirror
According to Fu, the Sun family can only arrange promotions if they have enough merit.
"The Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance is not a dictatorship. Even within our ranks, there are divisions," he said. "So, we're not afraid of making a scene. We're afraid of not making one."
Sun Luyuan's high-profile and fortunate capture of the Five Elders' spies was under Fu's instructions.
Anyone with connections quickly quieted down upon learning that Fu, the mind-reader behind the Sun family, was involved.
As for those who were not even capable of knowing this...
Sun Luyuan didn't care at all.
After all, one needs to consider the master when dealing with the dog.
There was no need for the Sun family to take action. When those who showed hostility would be quietly torn apart by the countless families trying to please Fu, the mind-reader, collaborating in silence.
However...
Sun Luyuan probably never expected to encounter a monster like Li Fan, who could completely shatter the Sun family's blood sacrifice with just a moment of distraction.
He claimed ownership of the Immortal Mirror.
Even if it was damaged and on the verge of destruction, its value was immeasurable.
Moreover, in Li Fan's hands, this artifact might not be beyond repair.
At the moment, in the Sun family's secret chamber, Li Fan, despite Sun Luyao's pleas, forced him to use the deduction function of the Immortal Mirror.
A beam of light suddenly appeared on the dark mirror surface.
The beam of light condensed in mid-air, forming a white screen.
Before long, images began to change and shift within the screen.
When Li Fan saw the images clearly, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Countless celestial arrows were soaring towards various places of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.
Numerous cultivators were engaged in fierce battles, with one side being the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.
The other side was led by a peculiar puppet.
"Is this... the future Unified Alliance of the Ten Thousand Realms?"
In the rapidly changing images, Li Fan saw the figures of familiar people like Tianyang and Sun Erlang.
According to the plan of this lifetime, after Daji merged with many small worlds, there would inevitably be friction between them and the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.
However, at the current time, none of this had occurred yet.
The Immortal Mirror was actually capable of predicting future events!
The beam of light didn't last long.
The images changed rapidly, and even Li Fan couldn't keep up with the speed of the changes.
Finally, the beam of light disappeared in an instant.
Returning to complete darkness and emptiness.
From this destruction, Li Fan sensed an instinctive crisis.
After the deduction ended, the darkness returned to the Immortal Mirror.
Sun Luyao let out a howl of fear and madness.
It was as if he had witnessed an extremely terrifying scene.
As the owner of the Immortal Mirror, Li Fan couldn't sense anything from him.
Li Fan had no intention of using his blood or helping him alleviate his pain.
He just let him suffer while pondering to himself.
"The aura of that deduction... is it familiar?"
"Is...?"
In an instant, two names came to Li Fan's mind. [Xuanji, Returning to the Spirit of the Ten Thousand Realms].
[Desolation, Genesis of the Empty Chamber].
"Same origin, part of the same array."
The remaining names of the array were difficult for Li Fan to figure out.
However, this similarity was enough to inspire him.
"The Immortal Mirror is becoming increasingly damaged, perhaps due to the influence of predicting the future of destruction. But the bigger reason is the damaged body of the artifact, which is simply not enough to power an immortal-level array."
"The consequence of forced activation is the continuous depletion of its body as an immortal artifact. The more it is used, the faster it dies."
"These people from the Sun family are really foolish, truly misusing a precious artifact. If it weren't for their frequent use without repairing it, the Immortal Mirror wouldn't have fallen into my hands in such a damaged state."
With that in mind, Li Fan felt a bit of heartache as he touched the completely blackened mirror.
"Well, if I want to remedy this, it might be a bit difficult with my abilities alone. I might need to find a skilled craftsman..."
Li Fan wasn't very concerned about the deduction capabilities of the Immortal Mirror.
The future it predicted might not necessarily be what actually happens, so how could it compare to the future he experiences firsthand?
But just having the reputation of being the first to obtain such an artifact was enough for Li Fan to take it seriously.
"Perhaps, in the process of repairing it, I can find the method for the true transformation and promotion of the End-of-Termination Disc."
"The Immortal Artifact Embodiment in the Xuanhuang Realm. Although the power of the laws may have become part of the Xuanhuang Tao, it cannot be ruled out that, like the Immortal Mirror, there is still an immortal body remaining."
"Perhaps I should pay attention and gather some information."
In the following period, Li Fan didn't leave the secret chamber.
He stayed within the Immortal Mirror, studying its other uses and organizing and categorizing the information he obtained from the intrusion of the Immortal Mirror.
With the original source of the Immortal Mirror, Li Fan, who had once intruded into the secrets of the Immortal Mirror, quickly discovered the differences between these two "intrusions."
Undoubtedly, the Immortal Mirror also had its own consciousness.
Through its original source, everything it saw was the data produced by the daily affairs of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance and the records of the actions and words of the cultivators.
On the other hand, the information obtained from the Immortal Mirror's intrusion...
It was more like the "thoughts" and "conclusions" of the Immortal Mirror itself.
For example, based on a large amount of information, the Immortal Mirror noticed a decrease in the production of a certain item in the trading market of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance. So, even though the event had not yet occurred, the Immortal Mirror, having gathered enough information, had already predicted that the price of this item would soon skyrocket.
However, as the foundation of the alliance, the Immortal Mirror bound by regulations was unable to make any independent decisions based on this.
It had to wait for the event to actually occur, and after it caused a certain consequence, it would require a collective consultation and decision by the high-level members of the alliance, including the law-transmitters and mind-readers, to make adjustments.
Although it lacked autonomy, this did not prevent the Immortal Mirror from simulating and judging numerous events that occurred within its jurisdiction every day.
But these "thoughts" of the Immortal Mirror had no impact on its actual operation; they only appeared and settled deep within the Immortal Mirror.
"No wonder the mind-readers value it so much."
"This is essentially like the Immortal Mirror's special ability to read minds?"
"Although due to its damage, it can only read a fraction of the information. But each piece of information is invaluable!"
As a genuine Immortal Artifact and the cornerstone of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, the Immortal Mirror's judgment was absolutely correct and ahead of the cultivators within it.
Thinking back to the previous lifetime, Li Fan's eyes lit up with a dangerous light as he recalled the instances where the Immortal Mirror, partnered with Moru Bin, had caused him trouble several times.
