Chapter 1156-1160: Truly Building the Foundation (6k+ words)

So, when Li Ping heard Elder Yin's insights on foundation building, Li Fan's main body on this side also instantly became aware.

"Burying all past, building an infinite future?"

Li Fan remained silent in contemplation.

Suddenly, he thought of his "Truly" divine artifact.

Judging from his previous act of "building a true foundation for a hundred lifetimes," successfully incorporating a part of Truly into the foundation of the new law, Truly should have already fused with him.

"In other words, if I want to complete [Foundation Building with Myself], I must include the entire Truly..."

As this thought emerged, Li Fan himself found it somewhat absurd.

When Truly is activated, everything in the world instantly turns tangible into virtual, returning to the recorded anchor point.

Even true immortals are not exempt.

"After Elder Yin's Foundation Building with Myself, he can freely apply the residual soul laws that build his world. Similarly, if I succeed in Foundation Building with Myself..."

"No longer needing Truly, ignoring constraints such as anchors and charging, I can, with a single thought, create or destroy the world, returning to any time I want..."

"This ability."

"I'm afraid there is no foundation-building stage stronger than this?"

Li Fan shook his head inwardly.

"This creates a paradox."

"If I already have this ability, why pursue the New New Dao? It's just a matter of a punch to pass on the tradition and stepping on the faceless, done casually."

"If there is no special method to help me understand and analyze the essence of Truly in advance, for me, this is a dead end."

"Sometimes, having too strong inherent abilities may not be a good thing."

Li Fan casually glanced at the location of the Museum of Divine Treasures.

During the previous discussion with Elder Yin, he had mentioned a feasible method to steal Mr. Bai's skull.

Leaving the Immortal Alliance headquarters by deceiving Emperor Sanmao and then using a forged skull to replace the original.

"Mr. Bai, at the cost of his own life, reversed the world. All the spirituality on his body also dissipated, becoming no different from the bones of ordinary mortals."

"Except for being a bit harder."

"So, as long as we create an identical skull and replace it without breaking the restrictions, it is possible to unknowingly retrieve Mr. Bai's skull."

"Although it sounds theoretical, in practical operation..."

Elder Yin shook his head, and the matter was never mentioned again.

But Li Fan never forgot.

Mr. Bai's bones showed no abnormalities, and he was very certain about this.

Not only the world's ghosts but even the Tianxuan Mirror, after identifying Mr. Bai's ribs, only gave the lowest contribution points.

"But the skull is an exception."

"With Mr. Bai's eternal remembrance, it cannot be ordinary."

"During the use of eternal remembrance, Truly cannot be retained or brought back for the next life. Therefore..."

A glint of light flashed in Li Fan's eyes.

"The best method is still to create a relatively safe environment, where others cannot interfere, just like stealing Xuan Huang's life in the last life."

"The method of diverting attention. What Emperor Sanmao cares about. Perhaps the answer can be found in the Falling Immortal Realm."

"And when the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is stolen, it is not even worth considering..."

Just as Li Fan was scheming in the dark corner.

"Yet, with the theft of the headquarters of the Immortal Alliance, a situation they cannot afford to care about..."

"The plot of the Transmission Law has been exposed, forced to appear, attracting the attention of the entire Xuanhuang Realm."

 

A rough conspiracy network was instantly added and shaped in the original plan.

 

"With the power of the Transmission Law, which dominates the world and is unpredictable, wanting to force him to appear and explain, relying solely on strength is definitely unrealistic. Only by using the Xuanhuang Realm he cares about as a threat..."

 

"But this time, I don't need to be the villain."

 

On the chessboard, all the pieces were in place, waiting for Li Fan to make his move.

While Li Fan was hiding in a dark corner, scheming various undisclosed plans.

The wisp of divine consciousness that he had split and attached to Wu Ningluo's body discovered something interesting.

Surprisingly, Wu Ningluo was pregnant!

During her focused cultivation, Li Fan's divine consciousness carefully examined the fetus in her abdomen, confirming it as Li Fan's identity, the descendant of the Sun family's Sun Ang.

"However, it has been sealed by the opponent using a secret method, stopping its growth."

"This woman is interesting."

After observing for some time, Li Fan found that Wu Ningluo was not as simple-minded as Sun Ang appeared to be.

When she married into the Sun family, it seemed she had another purpose.

The news of Sun Ang's breakthrough to the Unity Dao realm, accidentally leaked, resulted in Sun Ang being forced to participate in the task of guarding the Yinfajue for five hundred years. It was all for the benefit of this woman.

She utilized these precious resources to cultivate wholeheartedly.

Her progress in cultivation in one month surpassed that of the past three years.

Even Li Fan's divine consciousness vaguely sensed that she would soon break through to the Nascent Divinity perfection.

And on this day, Wu Ningluo, who had been secluded at home, finally revealed her true colors.

As if suddenly becoming a different person, Wu Ningluo walked towards the mirror in the room, her slender fingers constantly touching her face.

Her eyes were hazy, occasionally flashing a hint of ruthlessness.

"Sister's days are really good. The speed of cultivation is even faster than mine..."

Wu Ningluo's expression changed again, and the smile disappeared. "Wu Ninglu, have you gone mad? Climbing on me at this time, aren't you afraid of being discovered by the Sun family?"

 

She tried to lower her voice, but the trembling body indicated her anger at the moment.

Wu Ninglu shrugged and regained control of her body, still smiling. "Sister, I'm not as boring as you think. If Elder hasn't instructed me, how would I dare to contact you easily?"

"Listen carefully, we received the latest news. In three months, that treasure will return to the Sun family. By then, you need to figure out the hiding place of the treasure."

Wu Ninglu's voice became smaller and smaller, finally barely audible.

Wu Ningluo, who had returned to normal, had an expression that changed unpredictably. In the end, she stomped her foot, seemingly determined.

Observing this scene from beginning to end, Li Fan's divine consciousness, who had witnessed it all, suddenly became interested.

"Sun family's treasure? I haven't heard that the Sun family has anything extraordinary."

His divine consciousness turned into a thread and lurked in Wu Ningluo's sea of consciousness.

Although she had undergone training and had strong protection against divine consciousness intrusion, how could she escape Li Fan's deliberate attack?

In no time, Li Fan had already found the answer he wanted.

This made him, who was originally idle and bored, slightly more serious.

"It's actually something similar to the Kunqian Skeleton, suspected to be an existence transformed into an immortal weapon?"

"Interesting."

The treasure of the Sun family also possessed the supreme power unique to legendary immortal weapons.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 1157: Unusual Profound Heavenly Artifact

The Sun family's ultimate treasure, its specific name and form, was unknown to Wu Ningluo. However, based on the Sun family's history, it was speculated that the abilities of this treasure were likely related to deduction and prophecy.

Over a thousand years ago, the Sun family was just an ordinary cultivating small family. The strongest member in the clan was only at the Nascent Infant realm. However, one day, the Sun family's fortune suddenly turned around. Not only did they consecutively break through several Nascent Divinity realms, but they also coincidentally saved a severely injured Unity Dao cultivator.

Under the protection of this Unity Dao cultivator, the Sun family soared to new heights. The sudden rise of the Sun family naturally attracted the attention of many forces. On the surface, it seemed like sheer luck, but not everyone believed that.

Especially the forces behind the scenes plotting against the Unity Dao cultivator saved by the Sun family, who assigned Wu Ningluo to infiltrate the Sun family at any cost.

The Chen family, one of the largest families in Tianquan Province, was proficient in alchemy, holding many important positions in the Alchemy Hall of the Immortal Alliance.

At that time, they plotted to put the Unity Dao cultivator in a deadly situation due to old grudges. However, what should have been a foolproof plan was ruined by a mere Nascent Infant cultivator!

After investigation ruled out any leaks, it was determined that the Sun family's Nascent Infant cultivator, on the day of the incident, had crossed several provinces through a transmission array and waited on the escape route of the severely injured Unity Dao cultivator.

It seemed like he had known this would happen!

All of this was too unreasonable, leading the Chen family to focus on the Sun family. Despite the vast difference in strength under the Immortal Alliance system, the Chen family dared not directly kill for the treasure. Especially when the severely injured Unity Dao cultivator, after recovering, began to suspect that the attack came from the Chen family.

By the time the Chen family resolved all the troubles and regained their composure, the Sun family had already established connections with high-ranking figures in the Immortal Alliance headquarters and moved from an external province to Tianquan Province. Moreover, a Unity Dao cultivator was born in the family.

The rise of the Sun family was too fast. The series of coincidences on their path to prosperity made the Chen family believe that the Sun family must be hiding some extraordinary treasure.

However, the Sun family acted cautiously. After stabilizing their foundation, they rarely used that treasure. Although the Chen family coveted it, they couldn't find a suitable opportunity to strike. Even the family gradually forgot about it.

It wasn't until over fifty years ago that the Sun family once again made a significant splash in the Immortal Alliance. This reignited the Chen family's buried memories.

On the way to the Law Protection Hall, passing by each other, the Sun family's patriarch recognized the identity of a spy from the Five Elders Association who had infiltrated.

He directly challenged and fought against the infiltrator.

This incident naturally alarmed the higher-ups of the Immortal Alliance. After capturing both of them and conducting a thorough investigation, it was discovered that the Sun family patriarch's identification was indeed true!

The Five Elders Association spy, carrying a jade pendant for divination, was ordered to use a curse to attack Yanfa Jue.

Fortunately, this disaster was avoided by timely detection.

After this incident, the Sun family advanced further and developed their influence within the Law Protection Hall. Meanwhile, the Chen family once again focused their attention on the Sun family.

Through an investigation into the past, the Five Elders Association spy had hidden himself well all along. Even his close friends and family never suspected his identity.

But such a perfect spy was recognized at a glance by the Sun family patriarch!

Although the Sun family patriarch insisted on his intuition during subsequent interrogations, and the Immortal Alliance conducted a thorough investigation, ruling out the possibility of the Five Elders Association orchestrating the incident, many found it difficult to understand.

In the end, they had to attribute it to the Sun family's "good luck."

However, the Chen family's elders who remembered the speculation at that time immediately recalled those guesses.

After this, a conspiracy surrounding the Sun family's ultimate treasure gradually unfolded.

After decades of continuous probing, the Chen family had gathered several important clues.

Firstly, this treasure might not be complete. Over the years, the Sun family had been secretly searching for something.

Secondly, every time the treasure displayed its abilities, it seemed to require some kind of replenishment. After each remarkable performance by the Sun family, the family patriarch would mysteriously disappear for a period.

Thirdly, when the treasure was activated, it seemed to consume the Sun family's bloodline as a cost. Over the years, several descendants of the Sun family disappeared inexplicably, leaving no trace.

Although the Chen family had gathered a lot of information, they still hesitated to make a move. This was mainly due to the suspected "foreseeing" ability of the treasure. If unsuccessful, it might expose them, and they could lose the treasure forever.

Until recently, the Chen family, who had been waiting anxiously, finally encountered the best breakthrough opportunity.

Chapter 1158: Discovery of the Sun Family's Secret

The undercover agent discovered the traces of the Sun family's patriarch, seemingly injured while assisting the treasure in replenishing. To prevent any accidents, he should suspend his outings and return home as soon as possible for recovery.

During the cooldown period of the treasure, the strongest patriarch of the Sun family suffered severe injuries.

This was simply a heaven-sent opportunity! Therefore, despite the risk of being discovered, the Chen family ordered to contact Wu Ningluo and constantly monitor the movements of the Sun family's patriarch.

...

"I never thought that the feud between these two families has been going on for nearly a thousand years."

Having understood the ins and outs of the matter, Li Fan couldn't help but become more interested in the so-called Sun family's ultimate treasure.

There was no other reason; it was because the several performances of the Sun family's patriarch had too many similarities with Li Fan's usual behavior.

Li Fan achieved foresight and prescience through True Reversal, allowing him to foresee and be aware of everything.

What ability could the Sun family's ultimate treasure possess?

Li Fan didn't have to wait too long. After more than ten days, Li Fan's divine sense keenly sensed a somewhat disordered Unity Dao aura returning to the Sun family.

Leaving Wu Ningluo's body, Li Fan locked onto the opponent's location and silently infiltrated beside him.

Despite the Sun family patriarch being very cautious, the formations and restrictions he arranged were like illusions in front of Li Fan.

Without sensing a single divine sense, Li Fan had already followed him into the secret room.

"Cough, cough."

Sun Luyuan, the patriarch of the Sun family and a Unity Dao cultivator, actually coughed up a few traces of blood.

However, he paid no attention to his injuries. With a heart full of distress, he took out an item, carefully placing it back in its original position.

Then, he cut a wound on his wrist and used blood for refinement.

When Li Fan saw this item, both his main body and his divine sense, even from thousands of miles away, trembled slightly.

"This is..."

"The Heavenly Profound Mirror?"

The item irrigated with blood by Sun Luyuan looked somewhat similar to the Heavenly Profound Mirror.

However, in their past encounters, the radiant light representing the power of the Heavenly Profound Mirror was mostly green.

But the small mirror in the secret room at this moment emitted a strange black color.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 1158: Mystical Technique Devouring the Heavenly Profound

Li Fan's divine sense focused solely on the peculiar mirror not far away.

"Not only does it look similar, even the aura..."

With the origin of the Heavenly Profound Mirror by his side, Li Fan was extremely familiar with it.

But the peculiar small mirror at this moment gave him the feeling that it was like the twin brother of the Heavenly Profound Mirror!

Li Fan's mind shook, and his thoughts quickly turned.

"The Heavenly Profound Mirror, formerly known as the Profound Sky Mirror. Obtained during the era of the Profound Sky Sect when the Profound Sky King ascended, it is an immortal artifact."

"What is this one in front of me?"

In this moment, Li Fan couldn't help but have the thought of going forward to investigate.

However, after pondering for a moment, he ultimately stopped.

This black Heavenly Profound Mirror gave him an indescribable sense of unease.

Li Fan decided to observe quietly.

Drip, drip, the blood kept falling onto the mirror. Sun Luyuan's complexion had turned somewhat pale, but he showed no intention of stopping.

Li Fan even saw fear and a slightly trembling arm attempting to retract in his eyes.

Yet, for some reason, he couldn't control his own actions.

It wasn't until the mirror erupted with a strange fluctuation, the black light converged, and Sun Luyuan collapsed on the ground as if exhausted.

Taking out several pills and swallowing them, after some adjusting, his complexion returned to normal.

Sun Luyuan looked at the small mirror in front of him emitting a faint glow, his eyes flashing with a hint of greed and fear.

It was unknown what he was thinking.

After a long while, his stiff body resumed its movements.

From his embrace, he took out another small mirror.

Adjusting the angle of the mirror surface, it faced the black small mirror.

The newly taken out one was naturally the Heavenly Profound Small Mirror.

Li Fan clearly saw threads of green light being sucked out from the surface of the Heavenly Profound Mirror and then surging into the black small mirror.

After absorbing the Heavenly Profound Small Mirror, the black mirror seemed to become more similar to the Heavenly Profound Mirror.

Sun Luyuan seemed to be calculating the time.

After a while, while the black mirror was still devouring, his expression changed slightly. He quickly pinched a seal and put away the Heavenly Profound Small Mirror.

However, the black mirror, which was still feasting, was unwilling to let go.

A black mist suddenly surged from the mirror surface, transforming into a human figure, roaring at Sun Luyuan, "Not enough!"

"I want to eat more!"

A powerful fluctuation emanated from the black mirror's figure, like a storm sweeping through the entire secret room.

While Sun Luyuan gritted his teeth, insisting on putting away the Heavenly Profound Small Mirror, the black mirror continued to feast.

A strange change occurred on the black mirror's surface. It condensed into a humanoid figure, roaring at Sun Luyuan, "Not enough!"

"I want to eat more!"

A powerful fluctuation emanated from the black mirror's figure, like a storm sweeping through the entire secret room.

While Sun Luyuan gritted his teeth, insisting on putting away the Heavenly Profound Small Mirror, the black mirror continued to feast.

After a moment, the black mirror figure, seemingly recovering a trace of rationality after hearing Sun Luyuan's words, shook its body as if resisting itself.

After a struggle for some time, it finally suppressed its inner desires.

"Brother, I'm too painful..."

"Brother, I can't hold on."

"Brother, please let me out!"

Crying, begging, resentment...

Various emotions appeared in succession on the black mirror figure.

But regardless of its attitude, every sentence began with the word "brother."

And Sun Luyuan seemed to be tormented by these cries.

In the end, he could only close his eyes, once again using his own blood to irrigate, calming the grievances of the black mirror figure.

After obtaining the essence blood, the black mirror calmed down again.

Sun Luyuan, on the other hand, felt relieved and collapsed on the ground, showing no trace of the demeanor of a formidable Daoist.

It took nearly half a day for him to recover.

Standing in front of the black mirror again, he silently recited something.

Under Sun Luyuan's manipulation, radiance emanated from the black mirror, displaying countless characters and images that rapidly flickered.

Sun Luyuan, eager and concentrated, watched intently, afraid of missing any details.

Until the brightness of the images gradually dimmed and finally disappeared.

Sun Luyuan reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

"This harvest is enough for our Sun family to get through this difficult situation."

"When Luer comes out of the Law Protection Hall and takes on an important position in the Immortal Alliance, with a four-fold Dao, our Sun family can truly stand firm."

Sun Luyuan muttered to himself.

Li Fan's divine sense, who had witnessed the entire process, saw through the mystery.

"Not a comparable immortal artifact? Instead, using a certain secret technique based on the human soul to erode the Heavenly Profound Mirror? Thus obtaining a large amount of information that ordinary means cannot acquire?"

"Even if it's not an immortal artifact, being able to infiltrate the Heavenly Profound Mirror is extraordinary."

Li Fan looked at Sun Luyuan, who seemed to have suffered a major injury.

While the other party was healing, he seemed to be digesting the information just obtained from the black mirror with his eyes closed.

"With just one divine sense, wanting to control it..."

"I don't have absolute certainty. Especially with that strange black mirror by his side."

After careful consideration, Li Fan's divine sense chose not to act immediately.

Instead, he decided to lurk and wait.

When Sun Luyuan separated from the black mirror, then he would slowly plan.

Another seven days passed.

When Sun Luyuan opened his eyes, the first thing he did was to quickly seal the black mirror in the secret room with his hands, much to the struggle of the misty figure within it.

Feeling Sun Luyuan's actions, the foggy figure in the black mirror struggled to emerge again.

However, it was sealed tightly in the mirror, unable to escape.

After all the commotion settled, Sun Luyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He lifted the restrictions, left the secret room, and after a moment, Li Fan's divine sense quietly flew to the side of the black mirror.

"The material of this mirror body..."

"It seems not created in the Profound Yellow Realm."

"It seems the speculation about it being an immortal artifact is not entirely incorrect."

"Only, the original power of the immortal path has disappeared without a trace, leaving only an empty shell occupied by that figure."

With Li Fan's current insight, after careful observation, he did discover something.

To confirm his speculation, the divine sense began to study the seal left by Sun Luyuan.

"Hmm? There's a shadow of a somewhat immortal-level formation. However, it's too crude."

The main body utilized the Final Dissociation Disc for support and quickly cracked it.

Instead of directly destroying the seal, Li Fan's divine sense slowly began to modify it.

"Brother, why are you back so soon this time?"

"Did you encounter some problem again? Hehehe..."

The slightly crazy voice of the dark figure came from the mirror.

Li Fan didn't answer at all but continued to modify the formation seal.

After talking to itself for a while, the dark figure finally sensed that something was wrong.

"You're not my brother?"

"Who are you?"

The voice was filled with anger and panic.

"Disgusting thing, stay away from me!"

The dark figure screamed, and the black mirror continued to tremble.

"Noisy!" Li Fan snorted.

A silver lightning bolt appeared from the void and fiercely struck the black mirror.

The mirror, forged from an unknown material, showed a trace of scorching.

The scream of the dark figure was interrupted in a miserable howl.

After a brief silence, the dark figure seemed to recover.

"You..."

About to erupt again, but another lightning bolt greeted him.

(chapter has concluded.)

Chapter 1159: Immortal Artifact - Limitless Mirror

Silver flashes, like successive heavenly thunders, descended.

Under the dazzling divine might, the humanoid figure hidden in the black mirror changed from cursing to wailing, and then to begging.

Li Fan's divine sense had no intention of showing mercy from the beginning.

Unlike his avatar, the divine sense couldn't autonomously draw spiritual energy from the heavens and earth to recover. Every bit of accumulated power had to be used cautiously to ensure zero loss.

The silver thunderbolts acted like a massive grinding wheel, refining the humanoid black mist.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Fan's divine sense continuously manipulated the seal, attempting to gain control of the black mirror using the "Formation Refinement" method.

Although the black mirror wasn't a sentient being, it was regularly nourished with the bloodline of Sun family disciples, establishing a mysterious connection with the Sun family.

In normal circumstances, only members of the Sun family could use or even refine it.

However, thanks to Li Fan's array skills and the accumulated power of the Final Dissociation Disc over several lifetimes, he had reached an unpredictable level.

Under the layered array formations, he could ignore such rules.

Even Sun Luyuan, who had a special connection with it, couldn't detect Li Fan's divine sense refining the black mirror.

As time passed unnoticed, the ownership of the black mirror had quietly changed hands.

Li Fan's divine sense materialized, holding the black mirror in his hands.

He could sense the black mist, the "spirit" of the mirror, shivering within, full of fear and dread.

Li Fan didn't care about the figure's thoughts. He squinted his eyes, and in an instant, he understood the origin of this Sun family treasure.

Over a thousand years ago, Sun brothers, Sun Luyuan and Sun Luyao, stumbled upon a damaged bronze mirror during a relic exploration.

Initially, they thought it was just an ordinary ancient item and didn't pay much attention. However, when they brought it back into the space of the Tianxuan Mirror, attempting to sell it, something inexplicable happened.

The Tianxuan Mirror completely ignored the existence of this bronze mirror, unable to list it for sale in its inventory.

After confirming repeatedly, the brothers realized they had stumbled upon something extraordinary.

Through various attempts, they wanted to find the correct method to use this magical bronze mirror. However, being only Golden Core cultivators at the time, they lacked the strength and knowledge to complete the task.

It wasn't until a hundred years later.

The elder brother, Sun Luyuan, found a miniature Blessed Land to elevate to the Nascent Soul realm.

Sun Luyao protected his elder brother, and despite their carefulness, they inadvertently alerted another Nascent Soul cultivator passing by.

Nascent Soul and Golden Core – a world of difference.

Seeing an opportunity for a breakthrough, the Nascent Soul cultivator naturally couldn't let it go.

Sun Luyao, to ensure his elder brother's smooth advancement, desperately resisted the enemy's attacks.

When Sun Luyuan successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul realm and angrily killed the Nascent Soul cultivator, Sun Luyao was on the brink of death, with no chance of recovery.

In the moment of despair, Sun Luyuan suddenly discovered that the bronze mirror he had always carried finally responded!

At the moment of imminent death, Sun Luyao's soul entered the bronze mirror, preserving him.

Although he couldn't come out of the mirror afterward, it was still better than being separated by life and death.

Fusing his soul with the bronze mirror, Sun Luyao also learned various information about the mirror.

The bronze mirror was originally named "Limitless" and was bestowed upon the Xuanhuang Sect by the immortal realm in ancient times.

However, with the passage of time, this immortal artifact inexplicably became incomplete and lost most of its past power.

Even the spirit of the immortal artifact seemed to vanish, leaving only an empty shell in the mortal world.

Nevertheless, having once been above the mundane world, after integrating with a new soul, it still displayed some incredible abilities.

For example...

When entering the Tianxuan Mirror, it could steal various information from the Tianxuan Mirror.

Moreover, after accumulating energy for some time, the Limitless Mirror could release a few beams of light.

Within these lights, it portrayed future events!

Although the principles were unclear, this discovery delighted the Sun brothers.

With the help of the Limitless Mirror, the Sun brothers embarked on their legendary rise.

Gradually, they noticed the peculiarities within the mirror.

Due to previous damage, the incomplete mirror affected Sun Luyao inside it. His soul diminished, and despite Sun Luyuan trying various methods, he couldn't prevent it.

In the end, through a fortunate coincidence, he used his own blood to temporarily delay his brother's soul dissipation.

If it were just that, it would have been acceptable.

After reaching the Nascent Soul realm, a Nascent Soul cultivator can sustain themselves, not subject to death. A bit of essence blood can always be squeezed out.

The real trouble with the Infinite Mirror is its tendency to self-destruct.

As if it had suffered unimaginable calamities, the scenes of the "Infinite Light" depicting future scenarios, after several iterations, always culminate in the same conclusion.

Endless darkness, a great apocalypse, complete nothingness.

No matter how the Infinite Mirror envisions it, it cannot escape this ending.

And each time it awakens from destruction, it once again projects the Infinite Light.

The Infinite Mirror seems to be tainted by the prophesied black destruction, becoming darker each time.

Over the millennia, despite Sun Family's rise with the aid of the Infinite Mirror's abilities, transforming from an inconspicuous family into a formidable force practicing the Four Elements Path, Sun Luyuan, from a Nascent Soul cultivator, has become a grand master of the Integrated Path.

Yet, he is still powerless to prevent the Infinite Mirror from heading towards destruction.

The only solution he can find is to locate the fragments of the Infinite Mirror and help it restore itself.

Over the years, utilizing the connection between the main body and its fragments, he did find another piece of the Infinite Mirror.

However, it only slowed down the speed of destruction and didn't fundamentally resolve the issue.

The abilities displayed by the Sun Family during their rise have attracted the attention of cunning individuals.

Not to mention various malicious individuals, the Sun Family's greatest benefactor, and the highest authority in the Wanyuan Alliance, is the Mirror Keeper.

Among them, one named "Fu" is aware of the existence of the Infinite Mirror.

However, he didn't seize it; instead, he even supported the rise of the Sun Family.

It's because he saw the Infinite Mirror's ability to infiltrate the Tianxuan Mirror.

"A damaged immortal tool may not compare to a true Tianxuan artifact, but it still has its merits."

"You find a way to maximize its power restoration."

"In the future, we, the Mirror Keepers, might find it useful."

Sun Luyuan knew this was a sweet poison but had no choice but to swallow it.

According to his original plan, the Sun Family was supposed to develop quietly.

However, things didn't go as planned.

(The end of this chapter)

Chapter 1160: Mind-Reading Tianxuan Mirror

According to Fu's words, Sun's family could only secure promotions if they achieved enough merit. "Wanxian Alliance is not a one-man show. Even within our Mirror Keepers, we don't always share the same goals."

"So, it's not about making a big commotion, but whether you can make a commotion."

Under Fu's guidance, Sun Luyuan's previous high-profile actions, capturing spies from the Five Elders Society, took place.

Those with insight could see something fishy going on.

However, those with backgrounds, upon investigating the Mirror Keeper, Fu, behind the Sun family, all quieted down.

As for those who didn't even have the ability to know this much...

Sun Luyuan didn't care at all.

After all, you need to consider the master when you fight the dog.

He didn't need the Sun family to act. Those who showed hostility would be silently torn apart by numerous families wanting to please the Mirror Keeper Fu.

However...

Sun Luyuan probably never expected to encounter a monster like Li Fan, who defies common sense.

With just a divine sense, he could unravel thousands of years of Sun family blood sacrifices.

He claimed the Immortal Tool, the Infinite Mirror, as his own.

Even if it's damaged and on the verge of destruction, its value is immeasurable.

Moreover, in Li Fan's hands, this Immortal Tool might not be beyond salvation.

At this moment, inside the secret chamber of the Sun family, Li Fan, ignoring Sun Luyuan's pleas, forced him to use the forecasting function of the Infinite Mirror.

A beam of light suddenly bloomed on the pitch-black mirror surface.

The beam condensed in mid-air, forming a white light curtain.

Soon, images began to change continuously within the light curtain.

When Li Fan saw the scenes clearly, he couldn't help but feel a slight chill.

Countless celestial arrows soared towards various places in the Wanxian Alliance.

Numerous cultivators were engaged in a fierce battle, with one side being naturally the Wanxian Alliance.

On the other side, it was led by an unusual puppet.

"Is this... the future Wanji Alliance?"

In the swiftly passing scenes, Li Fan saw the figures of familiar characters like Tianyang, Sun Erlang, and others.

According to the plan of this world, after Dayue swallowed many small worlds, friction would inevitably occur between Dayue and the Wanxian Alliance.

But at this current point in time, nothing had happened yet.

This Infinite Mirror could actually deduce future events!

The beam of light didn't last long.

The images changed faster and faster, to the point that even Li Fan couldn't see the changes clearly.

Finally, the beam of light converged in an instant.

Returning to a complete pitch-black void.

From this annihilation, Li Fan felt an instinctive crisis.

The deduction ended, and the blackness returned to the Infinite Mirror.

Sun Luyuan let out a cry of fear, sounding insane and hysterical.

As if he had seen an extremely terrifying scene with his own eyes.

But as the master of the Infinite Mirror, Li Fan couldn't sync with what the other party perceived.

Li Fan had no intention of using his blood to irrigate and alleviate Sun Luyuan's pain.

He just let him erupt, silently contemplating.

"The aura of that deducing beam seems somewhat familiar?"

"Yes..."

In an instant, two names appeared in Li Fan's mind. Xuanji and Wanling Guishu.

Wangluo and Xushi Shenghua.

"Same origin, part of the same large array."

"Infinite,..."

The remaining names of the array were difficult for Li Fan to figure out.

However, this similarity was enough to inspire him.

The Infinite Mirror became even more dilapidated, perhaps due to the influence of deducing the silent annihilation of the future. But the bigger reason is the severely damaged body of the Immortal Tool, which is simply not enough to drive an Immortal-level formation.

"The consequence of forcibly driving it is the continuous consumption of its Immortal Tool body. The more it's used, the faster it dies."

"This Sun family is really a group of fools, truly wasting a treasure. If they hadn't frequently activated it without repairing it, the Infinite Mirror wouldn't have fallen into my hands in such a damaged state."

Thinking this, Li Fan touched the completely blackened mirror with some distress.

"Well, to remedy it, it might be a bit difficult with my abilities. I need to find a skilled craftsman..."

Li Fan wasn't actually concerned about the Infinite Mirror's deducing ability.

The deduced future, which may not actually happen, can't compare to the real future he has experienced firsthand.

But the title of the first immortal tool he obtained was enough to make Li Fan take it seriously.

"Perhaps, in the process of repairing it, I can find a way for the 'Terminal Dissociation Disc' to truly transform and ascend."

"The transformation of Xuanhuang Realm's immortal tools. Although the power of the laws may have become part of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, it cannot be ruled out that, like the Infinite Mirror, there is still an Immortal Tool body preserved."

"Maybe I should pay attention to collecting it."

...

For the next period, Li Fan didn't leave the secret chamber.

He just resided in the Infinite Mirror, researching other uses of this damaged Immortal Tool.

At the same time, he sorted and categorized the information obtained from the Infinite Mirror's intrusion into the Tianxuan Mirror.

Li Fan, who possessed the original source of the Tianxuan Mirror, soon discovered the difference between these two "intrusions."

Undoubtedly, the Tianxuan Mirror also has self-awareness.

What the Tianxuan Mirror's source saw were various data generated by the Tianxuan Mirror in managing the daily affairs of the Wanxian Alliance, as well as records of the activities and words of cultivators.

On the other hand, what the Infinite Mirror peeked at...

Was more like the "thoughts" and "conclusions" of the Tianxuan Mirror itself.

For example, based on a large amount of information, the Tianxuan Mirror deduced that there were signs of a decrease in production for a certain item in the trading market. So, even though the event had not occurred yet, the Tianxuan Mirror, armed with enough intelligence, had already judged that the price of this item was about to soar.

However, as the foundation of the Immortal Alliance, the Tianxuan Mirror bound by the laws couldn't make any independent response to this.

It had to wait until the event actually happened and caused certain consequences. Then, through the joint consultation of the alliance's high-level figures, such as law-transmitters and Mirror Keepers, adjustments could be made.

Although it lacked autonomy, it didn't prevent the Tianxuan Mirror from previewing and judging countless events that occurred within its control range every day.

These "thoughts" of the Tianxuan Mirror wouldn't have any impact on its actual operation.

They simply emerged and then settled in the deepest part of the Tianxuan Mirror.

"No wonder the Mirror Keepers value it so much."

"Isn't this equivalent to the Tianxuan Mirror's special mind-reading technique?"

"Even if it can only read a fraction due to the damage, every piece of information is priceless!"

As a genuine Immortal Tool and the cornerstone of the Wanxian Alliance's operation, the Tianxuan Mirror stands high.

Its judgments are absolutely correct and far ahead of the practitioners within it.

Li Fan recalled the events of the previous life when the Tianxuan Mirror teamed up with Moru Bin to set him up several times.

Dangerous light flickered in his eyes.
