Chapter 1106-1110: Stirring Chaos with the True Immortal (6k+ words)

Collecting information on these children was naturally for the purpose of finding a successor to the position of the Xuanhuang Grand Celestial.

Now that Li Fan knew all the answers to the tests, as long as he found someone whose temperament and personality roughly matched, the possibility of successfully selecting a successor was quite significant.

There was no need to rush to accomplish this in the current lifetime.

It was better to identify several suitable candidates first and then select them for special training in the next life.

While Li Fan was testing these children using the Illusory Dream Technique, the grand play he orchestrated to muddy the waters of the Xuanhuang Realm slowly began.

First was a widely spread rumor.

The once sensational Oushang Tian, who almost led the pursuit of almost the entire Immortal Alliance, possessed two extraordinary abilities, the "Reversal of Heaven and Earth Palm" and the "Myriad Death Record," because he had come into contact with the remains of a true immortal in his youth.

The "Reversal of Heaven and Earth Palm" could reverse the universe, returning an object to its state from a previous time.

The "Myriad Death Record" could predict countless ways of one's death. If used properly, it could turn adversity into fortune and ward off evil.

The name Oushang Tian had almost been forgotten by Immortal Alliance cultivators.

However, when these two terrifying abilities were mentioned, it instantly sparked memories among Immortal Alliance cultivators.

When Oushang Tian's cultivation was not yet at the Nascent Soul stage, he persisted for nearly half a year under the pursuit of countless cultivators. Through practical actions, he proved the power of the "Reversal of Heaven and Earth Palm" and the "Myriad Death Record."

And these two powerful abilities were merely by-products of the true immortal's remains?

If one could obtain the complete so-called true immortal remains, what kind of fortune would they receive?

The moment they heard this rumor, almost all cultivators had this thought in their minds.

However, talking about a true immortal was ethereal.

People treated it as a legend and didn't take it seriously.

But strangely, as time passed, the rumors did not die down. Instead, they became more and more intense.

Keen-eyed individuals could see that there was someone behind the scenes pushing things.

Just as they were preparing to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, an unexpected event occurred.

One evening, a graceful white figure suddenly appeared in the sky of the Xuanhuang Realm.

With his appearance, the entire Xuanhuang Realm trembled slightly in an instant.

As all the cultivators who looked up at this figure felt an indescribable sensation in their hearts.

The figure only lasted for a few breaths before suddenly disappearing.

But combined with the previously tumultuous rumors, cultivators subconsciously thought of four words: "True Immortal Remains!"

The anomaly that enveloped the entire sky and the slight tremor that occurred in the Xuanhuang Realm with the appearance of the white figure—these two things couldn't be faked!

"Even if he's not a true immortal, he's definitely an extraordinary figure!"

Just as people were speculating and guessing the true identity of the white figure.

In the Tianling Prefecture, an endless black swamp suddenly surged out from within a deep mountain, attempting to engulf everything around it.

The moment cultivators saw these black and viscous substances, they knew it was the creation of the soul of the heavens and earth, the "Black Swamp."

Facing this extinction crisis, cultivators were not shocked but delighted; they didn't run but charged forward.

Most of them launched a fearless charge toward the Black Swamp.

Since the power of the Celestial Sovereign enveloped them, everyone could die and be reborn. There was no need to fear.

On the contrary, if they could happen to kill the soul of the heavens and earth in this process, that would truly be a tremendous feat!

Although the soul of the heavens and earth with the power of the Dao Integration realm was powerful, there were many ants biting an elephant!

Many cultivators shared this mindset.

Under their fierce battles, the expansion of the Black Swamp surprisingly seemed to be restrained.

Just when the cultivators were pleasantly surprised, thinking that the Black Swamp was becoming weak. A dazzling figure suddenly flew out of the black swamp.

Before everyone could react, the figure tore through the sky and disappeared without a trace.

After the departure of the golden figure, the tumultuous Black Swamp also inexplicably retracted deep underground.

"That is..."

"True Immortal Remains?"

In the stunned crowd, someone suddenly shouted with a trembling voice.

Boom!

After a moment of silence, the crowd exploded.

Due to the brief glimpse just now, that figure indeed bears a striking resemblance to the one that appeared in the sky not long ago! Moreover, it can suppress the Dao-Integration level Black Swamp with just its aura...

After a moment of bewilderment, the cultivators at the scene gradually reacted and rushed towards the place where the golden light disappeared.

Only a few cultivators, after hesitating for a moment, still attacked the Black Swamp that had returned to the depths of the mountain.

Unfortunately, it was regrettable that the Black Swamp, which had returned to its lair, became even more ferocious and brutal than before, seemingly experiencing a significant increase in strength.

Without exception, all those cultivators met their demise.

But even in the face of annihilation, it couldn't stop the greed of the cultivators. After all, everyone could be resurrected!

So, the cultivators who rushed to their deaths in response to the news were continuously arriving.

...

The appearance of the Black Swamp and the True Immortal Remains quickly spread throughout the entire Immortal Alliance.

The disturbance caused by the soul of the heavens and earth, and the golden figure gradually attracted the attention of more and more cultivators.

Moreover, wherever the True Immortal Remains went, without exception, the souls of the heavens and earth inexplicably appeared, seemingly attempting to suppress these remains.

Cultivators were astonished to discover that the Xuanhuang Realm actually concealed so many souls of the heavens and earth.

For a moment, the cultivators were dumbfounded by this spectacle.

Almost every few days, news of a new soul of the heavens and earth emerging could be heard.

And those cultivators who had long remained in the Nascent Soul realm were all becoming somewhat crazed.

They couldn't sit still any longer and went out to hunt the desired souls of the heavens and earth.

More cultivators, however, still kept their focus on the True Immortal Remains.

After a certain incident, the cultivators' desire for the True Immortal Remains reached its peak.

A mortal named Zhang Haobo, who had the fortune to touch the True Immortal Remains that suddenly descended in front of him, unexpectedly ascended from an ordinary mortal to the Golden Core stage in an instant! The miraculous item that allowed his foundation building was a rib-shaped object!

Unfortunately, the True Immortal Remains stayed by his side for only a moment before disappearing and escaping.

Otherwise, Zhang Haobo might have instantly ascended to the Nascent Soul stage, which was not impossible!

After investigating Zhang Haobo's identity, the cultivators ruled out the possibility of him faking or acting.

After all, nearly a hundred mortals who followed him and witnessed the miracle had no memory issues!

"True Immortal Remains should be seeking those with fate."

"Oushang Tian was like this, and so is Zhang Haobo! However, their good fortune was not enough, and they were ultimately not chosen by the True Immortal Remains."

"However, if they can eventually obtain it..."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 1107: A Plan that Disrupts Heaven and Earth

The allure of a True Immortal is extremely deadly for cultivators.

Since the Immortal Path was cut off, becoming an Immortal became an unattainable goal for cultivators.

But now, suddenly, a set of True Immortal Remains appeared in the world.

Moreover, various signs indicated that these True Immortal Remains were highly likely to be genuine!

At this point, no matter how much doubt was in their hearts, cultivators decided to first obtain these remains before making any judgments.

Even if they were not True Immortal Remains, judging by the various anomalies they caused, the benefits obtained were still considerable!

Therefore, cultivators from the Immortal Alliance left their resting place in the celestial city and searched everywhere for traces of these True Immortal Remains.

Even many cultivators from the Five Elders Sect, who were shopping in the Nine Mountain Free Trade Zone, traveled from afar to join in the excitement.

With the establishment and development of the Nine Mountain Free Trade Zone, the Immortal Alliance and the Five Elders Sect had maintained peace for a long time.

Relations between the two sides further eased, and as long as they applied, cultivators from both sides could visit each other for tourism.

It seemed that by using this method, they intended to prove that they were more suitable for cultivating than the other side.

However, there had been no reports of anyone changing allegiance.

The exchange between the two sides remained at the most superficial level.

Immortal Alliance cultivators were cautious about members of the Five Elders Sect.

While searching for the True Immortal Remains, they also kept their distance as a precaution.

"What do you think? Could the True Immortal Remains be a trick from the Five Elders Sect, deliberately causing chaos among us? We're just thinking about doing business, and our vigilance against the Five Elders Sect is decreasing year by year. Ah, this is not a good thing."

"Indeed, who knows if they will suddenly attack us again one day! The Five Elders Sect is not a good thing!"

"What are you thinking? Are those inexplicable souls of the heavens and earth also the work of the Five Elders Sect? This is our Immortal Alliance territory. We don't even know about these souls of the heavens and earth ourselves. If the Five Elders Sect can be so well-informed, then we might as well surrender to them!"

...

The occasional appearance of Five Elders Sect cultivators did not affect the Immortal Alliance's pursuit of the True Immortal Remains.

With the appearance of the second lucky individual, their desire became even stronger.

The second cultivator fortunate enough to have close contact with the True Immortal Remains was named Xue Mu.

He was a foundational formation master.

In fact, he didn't really touch the True Immortal Remains; he was just blocked by the golden light that surrounded it.

However, in the instant the golden light entered his body, countless bizarre formations appeared in Xue Mu's mind.

The vast amount of data almost burst his sea of consciousness.

At the critical moment of life and death, Xue Mu instinctively let go, and the True Immortal Remains escaped again.

But Xue Mu, who missed a great opportunity, was not regretful. Instead, after a long daze, his face showed joy, and he laughed heartily.

Later, everyone learned that in that seemingly brief moment, he gained at least a hundred formations from the True Immortal Remains.

More importantly, the level of these formations generally surpassed the formations in the Xuanhuang Realm by several levels.

Even the most powerful formations in the current Immortal Alliance could not compare to any one of them in his mind!

Although his strength did not improve, for formation master Xue Mu, this harvest was more important than advancing several realms in strength!

Soon, Xue Mu was taken away by people sent by the Immortal Alliance Formation Department.

And the internal news that came shortly after confirmed the advanced nature of the formations he gained.

What else, besides a true Immortal, could possess such abilities?

This undoubtedly solidified the rumors about the True Immortal Remains.

After the news spread, some people in the Immortal Alliance finally couldn't sit still.

In the Lingmu Realm, Li Fan received a communication from the communicator Zhou.

"With the recent True Immortal Remains matter, there has been quite a stir. How does Fellow Daoist Li view this?"

Li Fan quickly replied, "It's groundless and pure rumors! Fellow Daoist Zhou, don't believe it!"

"Are you so sure?" Now it was Zhou, the communicator, who had some doubts.

Li Fan sneered, "The Immortal Path has been severed for so many years, and none of our colleagues from various realms have ever seen the remains of a True Immortal."

"The Xuanhuang Realm..."

"Same here. How coincidental is it that it suddenly appeared without any warning? And it instantly became widely known. I'm sure there's someone behind the scenes manipulating things!" Li Fan said with conviction.

"But with the appearance of the souls of the heavens and earth, it's indeed real. There have even been two people in the Immortal Alliance who successfully advanced to the Unity Path because of it. I really can't figure out which force in the Xuanhuang Realm could casually bring out so many Unity Path resources and use them as bait?" Communicator Zhou did not believe Li Fan's words and refuted them.

Li Fan seemed to be stumped by the question.

After a long silence, he sighed, "The more so, the more it shows that the other party's plan is huge! You guys in the Immortal Alliance have gained a lot, but we are worried and afraid."

At this, Communicator Zhou suddenly asked, "Could it be that it's not something you guys orchestrated?"

"What nonsense is this! We, the United Realms Alliance, have been dormant for many years. How could we suddenly stir up trouble like this?" Li Fan's tone was somewhat displeased.

"In my opinion, it might be your enemy in the Immortal Alliance. Ruling the Xuanhuang Realm for thousands of years, haven't you had any arch-enemies?" 

"Hmm?!" Li Fan's words seemed to trigger something.

Communicator Zhou was somewhat stunned, and after a brief silence, he hurriedly disconnected the communication.

At this moment, a strange expression finally appeared on Li Fan's face.

Without saying much, all this turmoil was undoubtedly caused by Li Fan himself.

Leveraging the dark power of the black puppets, the True Immortal Remains could travel through various places, elusive and evading countless cultivators' pursuit.

By secretly manipulating the Heavenly Dao decrees, Li Fan directed one after another souls of the heavens and earth to actively appear. He played this act even more realistically.

As for the two beneficiaries of this event, Zhang Haobo and Xue Mu, although they had nothing to do with him in this life, they were acquaintances from previous cycles.

Li Fan didn't mind helping them as a good deed.

However, as he falsely spread the will of the heavens in various places, the tolerance and vigilance in the Xuanhuang Realm were reaching their limits.

It seems that he would have to lay low for a while in the upcoming events.

"The situation is set, and I'm not afraid that they won't enter the game. Such a chaotic situation should be able to conceal my true intentions." Li Fan chuckled lowly.

"The reaction of the last communicator Zhou is a bit strange, though. What did she remember?"

"Could it be that the Immortal Alliance really has an adversary that used several Unity Path resources as bait?"

With these thoughts, Li Fan couldn't help but frown.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 1108: Alien Fall in Xuanhuang

Although Xuanhuang Realm has become much larger than other normal cultivation realms after thousands of years of traction and devouring, Li Fan really can't figure out where an force that even makes the Immortal Alliance extremely cautious might hide.

When the Tianxuan Mirror underwent a sublimation transformation, it thoroughly swept through the entire Xuanhuang Realm. Almost all information about affiliated caves, small worlds, and even the worlds hidden in the white mist was almost completely explored.

"Unless it's a special hidden area like the Silent Snow in the Dark Realm."

"I can only say that it's worthy of being the last gathering place for surviving cultivators in the Dark Star Sea. You never know when a powerful individual will suddenly emerge."

"But since it didn't survive the apocalypse in the Xuanhuang Realm, even if it's strong, it's still limited."

After analyzing for a while, Li Fan felt slightly reassured.

"Speaking of which, the history of the rise of the Immortal Alliance from the cultivation wasteland seems a bit strange when you think about it now."

After the great calamity in the Xuanhuang Realm, cultivators fell into a dark age of mutual suspicion and slaughter. Civilization eventually shattered, and there were no more groups in the world. Only individuals who were as vigilant as beasts and full of murderous intent, the so-called cultivation wasteland, remained.

In all the records that can be accessed now, the descriptions of the cultivators living in this period in the Xuanhuang Realm are generally summarized with the words "fierce and cruel."

These were individuals who survived the great slaughter, and in terms of temperament, methods, and strength, they were naturally exceptional.

Now, where are these people? Whether it's the Immortal Alliance or the Five Elders Association, it seems that there is no trace of them.

"I remember that the Wanfa Chamber of Commerce in the Jiushan Province was inherited from that period. Unfortunately, it has now been razed to the ground. Otherwise, perhaps I could investigate some information related to it."

Li Fan made a note of this, intending to investigate this matter in the next life. His attention returned to the "True Immortal Remains."

After Li Fan's reminder, the Immortal Alliance did become much more cautious.

For the souls of the heavens and earth that appeared, they directly chose to collectively capture them. As for the final ownership, it had already been discussed in advance. The goal was to quickly and harmlessly swallow these "baits" and convert them into their own strength.

With the official intervention of the Immortal Alliance, the various disturbances caused by the appearance of the souls of the heavens and earth quickly subsided.

As for the True Immortal Remains, the Immortal Alliance's attitude was very cautious. While they chased, they did not allow cultivators to kill each other for it. In the end, it depended on individual opportunities.

To quickly calm this storm, the communicators, who usually didn't care about worldly affairs, also unprecedentedly mobilized multiple individuals. It seemed that after the incident with Moru Bin, their style of action had also changed accordingly.

After the Immortal Alliance joined the game, Li Fan clearly felt that manipulating the black puppets to walk the dog became much more challenging.

For their own territories, the Immortal Alliance still had strong control. The puppets carrying the True Immortal Remains would be discovered shortly after appearing, forcing them to move again.

As the frequency of transfers increased, the shortcomings of the black puppets being unable to fight for a long time became apparent.

Fortunately, Li Fan ordered the craftsmen to urgently build multiple puppets for alternating use, barely maintaining the elusive nature of the True Immortal Remains.

However, Li Fan also vaguely felt that the Immortal Alliance seemed to have some awareness of the use of the dark power to transfer the True Immortal Remains.

The time required for tracking was becoming shorter and shorter.

"It seems that this play can't last much longer."

"But it doesn't matter. My goal has been achieved. I'll give the cultivators of the Xuanhuang Realm a surprise when it's time for the final curtain."

After scanning the specifics of his various arrangements, Li Fan revealed a kind smile.

"Young friend, why do you have to do this?"

Three figures suddenly floated out, surrounding Li Fan from left and right.

Chapter 1109: The Depressed Three

Wearing a distressed expression with a sallow complexion, they all stared at Li Fan, sighing without uttering a word.

These were the paper figures from the Book of Official Crossing Tribulations who had awakened.

Since Li Fan began preparing for the apocalypse, even though all arrangements were carried out through avatars and puppets, these paper figures from the Crossing Tribulations Sect somehow sensed the crisis.

From initially one to now two paper figures consecutively awakening, they also seemed to vaguely perceive the thoughts of the apocalypse in Li Fan's mind. Whenever Li Fan simulated and envisioned future scenarios, these beings would tirelessly approach him, trying to persuade him.

Li Fan naturally ignored them, maintaining a cold demeanor.

After finding that persuasion was in vain, the three paper figures from the Crossing Tribulations Sect gave up. However, they continued to cry and linger around Li Fan.

Initially, Li Fan thought they were incompetent and furious. However, he later discovered that when surrounded by these mournful-faced paper figures, his own emotions would be infected by their sentiments.

Regardless of what he had previously thought, how passionate and extreme his ideas were, they gradually turned into extreme negativity and utter emptiness.

If Li Fan didn't have the protection of the "Mystical Yellow Immortal Heart Mantra," he would almost be influenced and changed by them.

The paper figures from the Crossing Tribulations Sect could only sense the general situation. As for the specific measures Li Fan took during this period, they didn't have the ability to know remotely.

Li Fan didn't reveal at all that he was unaffected by their emotions.

Instead, he cooperated very well with them, performing a scene as if he were their adversary.

The gloomy expression on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a sense of emptiness and lack of interest in everything.

His mind slowly emptied of all thoughts related to the apocalypse.

The figures of the three paper figures from the Crossing Tribulations Sect also changed accordingly. Instead of directly returning to the Book of Official Crossing Tribulations, they took on the appearance of solemn old scholars.

Sitting upright and attentive, as if Li Fan were recounting the various calamities that Xuanhuang Realm had experienced.

Their names were also interesting, named after various calamities that had occurred in history.

For example, one of them was named "Starfall."

This referred to a time before the Immortal Path was severed, when a strange star fell from the sky into the Xuanhuang Realm.

The energy emanating from the strange star briefly affected all cultivators in the Xuanhuang Realm, causing a significant decline in the effectiveness of their spiritual power. Regardless of their cultivation realm, their strength experienced a substantial decline.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 1109: Body and Mind Unaffected by Tribulation

A Golden Core cultivator stumbled and accidentally broke his leg while walking.

A Nascent Soul cultivator flew in mid-air, unable to control his spiritual power, and fell to his death on the spot.

A Core Formation cultivator, due to an overly intense battle with someone else, suddenly had a heart attack and died on the spot...

These were the bizarre instances that occurred during that time.

Later, this not-too-big-not-too-small calamity gradually disappeared on its own as the strange energy surrounding the alien star slowly dissipated. It ultimately vanished without a trace.

In this current era, it had long been forgotten by people and did not exist in any historical records.

Only the Crossing Tribulations Sect, through a special cultivation method, recorded it.

"The power capable of affecting the entire Xuanhuang cultivation world is undoubtedly of the Immortal level. It's a pity that the alien star was just a passing visitor to the Xuanhuang Realm. After that, it never appeared again."

Li Fan couldn't help but feel a bit regretful.

Otherwise, thinking about those familiar cultivators needing to live like ordinary people seemed quite interesting.

The paper figures from the Crossing Tribulations Sect weren't just telling Li Fan about the calamities that had occurred in the Xuanhuang Realm for no reason.

It was obvious they had another purpose.

As one brutal calamity scene after another continued to appear in Li Fan's mind, these calamities gradually faded away. The Xuanhuang Realm, tortured by them, finally regained a new life.

In his heart, Li Fan couldn't help but feel fortunate for surviving the tribulations.

For the present stable and peaceful state of the Xuanhuang Realm, he couldn't help but have a bit of emotion and cherish it.

Of course, the brainwashing effects of all this quickly faded away as the Mystical Yellow Immortal Heart Mantra operated.

But Li Fan continued to act seriously, with a perfectly timed expression on his face.

Finally, when the three paper figures saw that their methods were effective, they obediently returned to the Book of Official Crossing Tribulations.

"The various tricks of the Crossing Tribulations Sect are mostly related to manipulating people's hearts. The extent of their maliciousness can be seen."

"Unfortunately, they encountered me. Hmph..."

Since liberating the Book of Official Crossing Tribulations from the restrictions of the transmission method, they had somewhat clung to Li Fan.

Lingering spirits, accompanying him everywhere.

Although with Li Fan's current array cultivation strength, he could completely use formations to forcibly seal them again.

However, Li Fan didn't do that.

Because being annoyed by these paper figures from the Crossing Tribulations Sect also had its benefits.

Li Fan squinted his eyes, looking towards the Xuanhuang Realm.

Faintly, he could see countless paper figures scattered throughout the Xuanhuang Realm.

When his consciousness focused on one of them, the paper figure inexplicably opened its eyes.

Li Fan also used the eyes of the paper figure to see clearly what the paper figure was monitoring.

However, it was like looking through frosted glass, not very clear. The sound was intermittent.

After lasting for a short while, this connection was forcibly severed.

"It seems the permissions are not enough." Li Fan sneered inwardly.

The benefit of brainwashing by the paper figures from the Crossing Tribulations Sect was that it allowed him to gradually gain control over the Observing the World Divine Eyes.

It seemed that the process of agreeing with the philosophy of the Crossing Tribulations Sect was also the process of joining and becoming a part of the Crossing Tribulations Sect.

But obviously, Li Fan was only planning to enjoy the benefits and had no intention of joining this Crossing Tribulations Sect.

"Only with sufficient strength can no calamity harm you in the slightest. Hiding like a tortoise is nothing to be proud of."

"Constantly avoiding, what's the use? When the Immortal of the Immortal Tomb swept the world with a glance, they didn't even struggle, just disappeared."

Knowing that Li Fan, who truly faced tribulations when they came, was contemptuous of their philosophy, he sneered.

However, he did not underestimate them.

Instead, he acted very seriously, deceiving them.

While Li Fan was dealing with the Crossing Tribulations Sect, the grand performance of the true immortal's remains was also reaching its climax.

The Ten Thousand Immortals League, which had been tracking the remains for a long time, finally thoroughly studied its appearance patterns and methods of appearance.

This time, they sent a full ten Harmonization Stage cultivators to besiege and intercept, intending to capture the so-called true immortal remains that had stirred up a great commotion.

In this operation, there were even three law propagators assisting.

Facing such a massive siege of power, the pitch-black puppet seemed to be struggling.

Ultimately, under Li Fan's command, it dissolved its body, infusing the last traces of dark power it stored into the true immortal remains. Thus, the true immortal remains, now empowered, disappeared once again in the midst of the encirclement by the Ten Thousand Immortals League, in full view of everyone!

However, this time, the distance it escaped was not too far.

The group of Ten Thousand Immortals League cultivators tracking it soon discovered its traces.

Unlike before, it didn't vanish unpredictably but fled using the standard method of cultivator flight.

"It seems he's finally had enough of this hide-and-seek game!" a Harmonization Stage cultivator spoke with a hint of anger in his tone.

Anyone led by the nose by a corpse for such a long time would inevitably become frustrated.

"Quick, chase! Be cautious, don't be careless!"

"Look at the direction he's flying..."

"Oh no, he's heading into the Devouring Elemental White Mist!"

"It's okay; I have the Universal Virtue True Boat with me. Keep chasing!" said one of the leading law propagators, coldly.

Releasing a flying boat, the group of Harmonization Stage cultivators entered it and chased closely after the true immortal remains.

Some of them had clearly entered the White Mist before.

Their eyes showed no fluctuation but locked onto the position of the true immortal remains in front of them calmly.

"Something's strange. He used to only move around outside. Why would he suddenly lead us into the White Mist?"

"Could it be a trap?"

They exchanged glances.

However, with their current combined strength, even if they encountered a Longevity Realm cultivator, they could retreat unscathed.

There wasn't much hesitation. They quickly reached a consensus and continued the pursuit to see what tricks this true immortal remains was up to.

In the White Mist, time passed unknowingly.

The strange fragrance lured by the true immortal remains became very obvious, fearing that the Ten Thousand Immortals League behind would lose track; it intentionally slowed down during flight.

Maintaining a fixed distance between the two parties.

Moreover, the true immortal remains seemed very familiar with the White Mist, occasionally changing direction.

There was a clear destination.

This eerie scene made the Ten Thousand Immortals League cultivators inside the Universal Virtue True Boat look grim.

After contemplating for a moment, the law propagator in charge decided to continue following and investigate.

After all, as a law propagator, he wouldn't perish so easily.

Even if this true immortal remains had some conspiracy, if it could be clarified at the cost of a life, it was worth it.

As for the other Harmonization Stage cultivators around him...

The law propagator remained calm.

True immortal remains, Universal Virtue Flying Boat.

One in front, one behind, soaring in the White Mist.

After an unknown amount of time, the scene before them suddenly changed.

When they saw clearly what lay ahead, the cultivators on the boat, including several law propagators, all showed expressions of shock and profound shock.

A seemingly endless ocean with numerous floating corpses.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 1110: Life and Death Manifestation of the Celestial Lord

The corpses were all encased in light blue transparent ice crystals.

Through the ice crystals, one could vaguely see the final expressions on the faces of these corpses before their deaths.

Anger, fear, confusion...

Vivid, as if they were still alive.

Densely packed ice crystal coffins filled the entire field of view, covering the entire black sea.

Not to mention the Harmonization Stage cultivators; even the three leading law propagators, upon witnessing this scene, felt an inexplicable horror and shock.

Shaken by this shocking scene, when they returned to their senses, the true immortal remains that led them here had long disappeared without a trace!

"What... what kind of place is this?!"

After the deathly silence, a cultivator named Zhu Gongchuan couldn't help but speak, his voice very soft, as if afraid of disturbing the sleeping cultivators. It could be faintly heard that fear resided deep within him.

It's not that he hadn't seen dead people before, but such a large number of bodies, all gathered in one place, still preserving the lively expressions from their lives...

The shock brought about by this scene was beyond words.

No one answered Zhu Gongchuan's question.

The group silently flew over the dead sea, and after half a day, they still hadn't found its end.

"Preliminary estimates suggest that there are over two billion bodies here... I'm afraid the number of cultivators and mortals currently living in the Wanxian League's territory is far less than this. What exactly..."

"These people are not from the Xuanhuang Realm. Or, to be more precise, the majority are not from the Xuanhuang Realm," said the law propagator Wei at this moment in a low voice.

"Judging from their clothing styles, these people should come from different immortal realms. But for some reason, they were all frozen here."

"So many bodies hidden within our Wanxian League's territory. Yet, we've been completely oblivious to this for such a long time," another law propagator, Chu, also had an extremely unpleasant expression.

"Did the true immortal remains lure us here with the purpose of turning us into this appearance?"

"No, we've been here for so long, and we haven't been attacked."

...

The people discussed in hushed tones, but they had no clue about the true purpose of the true immortal remains.

"Let's keep looking."

So, they continued flying over the dead sea for a long time.

Finally, Law Propagator Wei found some clues, "These countless frozen bodies seem to form a massive formation."

"A formation?"

The people looked at each other, and then carefully looked around.

"Such a large-scale formation probably has the power to destroy the heavens and earth. Could it be that the Five Elders secretly arranged this over the years to destroy our Wanxian League?"

Not everyone present was proficient in formations. After thinking without any results, they couldn't help but start to indulge in wild guesses.

"The formation is extremely complicated, only seeing a part, unable to see the whole. The urgent matter is to notify the League Headquarters of this discovery. We've stayed here for a long time, and I have an uncomfortable feeling," Law Propagator Chu said in a deep voice.

"Fortunately, this formation doesn't seem to target us outsiders. It's neither a trapping formation nor a killing formation. As long as we find the formation's core, we should be able to leave," Law Propagator Wei also made a judgment.

With the conclusions of the two law propagators, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After wandering within the formation for several days, the group finally found the formation's core. Passing through the formation's core, they expected to leave this bizarre area, but they unexpectedly didn't return to the white mist.

Instead, they appeared in another unfamiliar ocean.

Different from the previously dead, frozen, black sea, the salty sea breeze here was slightly intoxicating, and the ears constantly heard the calls of flying birds.

From time to time, schools of fish leaped out of the water or swam in the sea.

It was full of vitality, making people feel refreshed.

After a brief astonishment, the group quickly scanned their surroundings and found no immediate danger.

The Harmonization Stage cultivators felt a slight sense of relief.

However, the faces of the three leading law propagators became unusually solemn.

Law Propagator Wei furrowed his brows, gazing at the sky, muttering to himself, "Different worlds, one entity with two sides."

"One is for life, the other is for death."

Law Propagator Chu interrupted him, "No, death is the source of life, and life is the gathering of death. This is..."

The two exchanged glances, their faces showing horror.

"Reversing life and death?"

Both of them were very tacit and didn't utter these four words.

Instead, they used voice transmission to communicate.

"So, this is the Daoist platform of that transcendent Celestial Lord?"

"I see. So, the reason for the Celestial Lord's rapid reversal of the principles of heaven and earth, and the attainment of the Daoist status, is because the Celestial Lord has long hidden in this white mist, using formations as the foundation, and thoroughly researching the principles of life and death!"

"What does the true immortal remains have to do with the transcendent Celestial Lord?"

After solving one mystery, new doubts arose in their minds.

"From the current situation, they should not be working together."

"They discovered the location of this Daoist platform long ago, so they intentionally led us here to explore the details of the transcendent Celestial Lord?"

The two fell into contemplation.

After thinking for a long time, they didn't arrive at a definite conclusion.

"Once we find the eye of the living world formation, we should be able to leave from here." With no results from their contemplation and finding no information related to the true identity of the transcendent Celestial Lord in this Daoist platform, the three law propagators decided to temporarily return and discuss further.

However, just as they were about to leave, Law Propagator Wei's body slightly paused, as if he thought of something.

"Reversing life and death, reversing life and death..."

"The grand formation is complete, but those dead cultivators haven't awakened. The ones truly being revived are the 'world'?"

"In other words, the true purpose of the transcendent Celestial Lord is..."

As if struck by lightning, Law Propagator Wei's face instantly turned pale.

"Go!" He decisively shouted.

However, it seemed that the figure in the white mist detected his thoughts.
