Chapter 926-930: Astonishing Object Shocks the Celestial Master (6k+ words)

"Do you want it?"

These few sentences sounded like they were spoken by different people, each with a different tone and demeanor.

Echoing in the main hall of the sect, they lingered for a long time.

This made the already peculiar scene even more eerie.

Li Qing, however, showed no fear. "If the Celestial Master dares to offer, I dare to accept."

Zhao Shijie's laughter abruptly stopped.

Li Qing instantly felt that there were tens of thousands of gazes, coming from different directions in the hall, all fixed on him.

"Remnants of the Xuantian Sect..."

"Even if I give it to you, so what? Can you walk out of my Grand Dao Sect?"

A lone cold voice questioned.

Li Qing smiled faintly, "If I don't try, how would I know?"

The provocative meaning of these words was too strong. Even though Li Qing's behavior in the illusion was special, it seemed to have truly offended the One Heart Celestial Master now.

Next to Li Qing, in the originally empty hall, myriad faces suddenly appeared.

The expressions on these faces varied, but all stared at Li Qing.

Moreover, from beneath the faces and the void of darkness, countless pale arms extended out of nowhere, reaching towards Li Qing.

Soon, Li Qing was engulfed by this tide of pale limbs.

It seemed like he was about to disappear in the hall.

However...

After a moment, countless sharp screams suddenly erupted from these faces.

The voices contained fear, dread, resentment...

As if something extremely terrifying was happening to Li Qing, all of them, without exception, dispersed even faster than when they were competing to devour him, quickly scattering in all directions!

In the center of the hall, the young Zhao Shijie, who looked around thirteen, for the first time, showed some emotional fluctuations on her calm face.

Bang!

Above Li Qing, several stone pillars appeared out of nowhere. They fell with a loud crash, forming a cage that trapped Li Qing inside.

"What is on you..."

"What is that thing?"

In the One Heart Celestial Master's cold tone, there was a hint of fear.

Li Qing smiled and asked back, "I wanted to consult the Celestial Master. Do you have any clues about this thing?"

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Then the voice of the One Heart Celestial Master echoed again, "I was suspicious before if you were from the Xuantian Sect, but now I'm starting to believe it."

"Daring to put such a thing in your soul..."

"Unfortunately, we can't merge into one again."

Li Qing smiled without answering.

He just sensed a fluctuating and unpredictable seven-colored light ball in his soul.

Since he became conscious, this thing had been suppressed deep in his soul.

Apparently, it was implanted by the original self when creating the clone.

The seven-colored light ball was not important; what mattered was what was sealed inside.

Even with the barrier of the seven-colored divine light, Li Qing always felt the imminent danger of a knife hanging over his head.

It could be inferred that the sealed object inside was extremely dangerous.

Despite harboring such a fierce creature in his soul, Li Qing faced it with composure.

His thoughts shifted, looking at the young Zhao Shijie sitting upright ahead, he spoke seriously, "The Celestial Master has now achieved the position of eternal life, and these techniques are useless for you."

"But for our Xuantian Sect, they are essential. Celestial Master, instead of becoming enemies, we hope for your gratitude in the future!"

Seeing that the One Heart Celestial Master remained silent, Li Qing hesitated for a moment before adding, "In fact, our Xuantian Sect is not unreasonable. If the Celestial Master is willing to return the items to their rightful owner, we will also provide corresponding compensation."

"Moreover, I believe the Celestial Master will be interested in this thing."

Li Qing confidently stated.

Silently, the countless faces that had been frightened away suddenly approached.

"Compensation..."

The faces all emitted strange laughter.

"Xuantian Sect has been annihilated for a thousand years, and you bunch are just a bunch of rats hiding from the light."

"What is there for me..."

Before the words could finish, they all suddenly stopped.

All eyes were fixed on the sudden appearance of a golden light in Li Qing's palm, freezing their expressions completely!

This place in the Grand Dao Sect was the cornerstone of her achievement in the realm of longevity.

Although still within the Xuanhuang Realm, it could be regarded as a separate realm completely under her control.

Any movement or energy fluctuations within the Grand Dao Sect could not escape her control.

Except for this abruptly appearing golden light...

The One Heart Celestial Master was certain that the source of the golden light was not within Li Qing's body but came from outside the Grand Dao Sect!

It could actually ignore her restrictions and come and go freely...

Feeling the energy contained in the golden light, ancient memories from the former elders of the Grand Dao Sect emerged.

Seeing Zhao Shijie's reaction, Li Qing knew that the strategy of his original self had succeeded.

So, he spoke loudly, "A temporary defeat does not mean a lifetime defeat. These years of lying low do not mean we will disappear into the river of history."

"Even a centipede does not stiffen in death, let alone the inheritance of a true immortal?"

Li Qing said with his head held high.

Zhao Shijie, who had obtained several Xuantian Sect techniques, naturally understood the terrifying heritage of the Xuantian Sect.

Just a few inherited techniques almost created her as the Immortal Celestial Master.

The true heritage of the Xuantian Sect must be unfathomable.

Moreover...

Although the destruction of the Xuantian Sect a thousand years ago was a joint effort of the ten major immortal sects, according to the secret records of the Grand Dao Sect, the battle was extremely strange.

Originally, they didn't plan to completely destroy the Xuantian Sect. Unexpectedly, the opponent suddenly collapsed on its own during the battle.

Even more crucially, on that day on the battlefield, the so-called half-step immortal, the Xuantian King, did not appear at all.

So, the battle was so easy.

The ten major immortal sects had suspected from the beginning whether there was any conspiracy in it.

They were afraid that the Xuantian King would return at any time, so they issued a kill order for the remnants of the Xuantian Sect.

It was an attempt to force the hidden half-immortal to reveal himself.

Unexpectedly, he seemed to have evaporated from the world, never appearing in the Xuanhuang Realm again.

"Does the revival of the Xuantian Sect mean that the Xuantian King will reappear in the world?"

This question flashed through the mind of the One Heart Celestial Master.

After all, what the other party displayed, the gray mold, and the golden light aspiration power, were obviously not something ordinary cultivators could possess.

The One Heart Celestial Master did not spend too much time pondering.

In her view, having one more disruptor in the Xuanhuang Realm was not necessarily a bad thing.

Although the realm of the half-immortal was strong, the Xuanhuang Realm was no longer what it used to be.

Perhaps the return of this half-immortal would bring about change and vitality.

In the hall, the thousands of pale faces staring at Li Qing's face disappeared in an instant.

The dim hall also became bright.

"The gift you brought, this lady likes it very much."

A voice with a completely different tone from before rang out.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 927: A Three-fold Twist

"If you want techniques so badly..."

"Considering that you're good at pleasing people, I'll give them to you."

"But, I have a condition."

Listening to the words of the One Heart Celestial Master, Li Qing was slightly stunned.

From the shadows, a voluptuous and tall woman walked out.

In her thirties, compared to the seated young Zhao Shijie, she appeared more mature and seductive.

"Your skills in the illusion are impressive. I wonder how capable you are in reality?"

"If you can satisfy me, maybe, if I'm happy, I might give you a few more techniques."

Mature Zhao Shijie extended her index finger to her lips, gently licking it.

With a mesmerizing gaze, she looked at Li Qing, her face flushed as if it were about to drip water.

"Alright!"

Li Qing nodded without hesitation.

After a moment...

A black straight sword appeared in front of Li Qing.

The tip of the sword pointed directly at the One Heart Celestial Master.

Li Qing's expression became solemn, "I have a sword, please teach me, Senior Sister!"

His voice thundered, echoing in the hall, lingering for a long time.

The seductive expression on Mature Zhao Shijie's face instantly froze.

After deeply looking at Li Qing, her body instantly retreated and disappeared into the darkness.

"Get lost!"

A silver light flew towards Li Qing.

Among them were recorded the Xuantian Sect techniques that Li Qing had been longing for.

In addition to the techniques he already knew, such as "Heaven and Earth Subjugation," and "Eternal Sole Path," there were two techniques he had never heard of before.

"Zuowang Secret Canon" and "Three Perils Ghosts and Gods Dark Mysterious Record."

Li Qing was overjoyed, "Thank you, Heav..."

Before he could finish speaking, a wave of dizziness came.

The next moment, the scene before him suddenly changed.

No longer inside the Grand Dao Sect but had been kicked out by Zhao Shijie.

Back in the Five Elders' meeting area.

"It seems that Zhao Shijie is quite angry after being rejected by me." Li Qing smiled to himself.

Successfully obtaining the Xuantian Sect techniques from the opponent's hands by relying on various cards.

However, Li Qing did not let it cloud his judgment.

He still held reverence for the Immortal Celestial Master.

Being immersed in the illusion was because he lost himself. If he were to have a relationship with the Immortal Celestial Master in reality...

It might bring unexpected risks.

So Li Qing decisively refused.

"Always be vigilant."

Li Qing admonished himself again in his heart.

Looking around and identifying the way back.

Although the mission was completed, the original self had already learned about his experiences in sync.

But these several Xuantian Sect techniques were vast, like an endless sea of content.

They couldn't be read through in a short time and needed to be quickly delivered to the original self.

"This place seems unfamiliar. I wonder whose territory it is among the Five Elders."

However, without any intention to ask around, Li Qing just subtly identified the location of his original self.

Then, he hurried towards the corresponding direction.

Initially, just like when he came, everything went smoothly.

There were no encounters with Five Elders cultivators inspecting.

However, when he was about to leave the border of this province, an unexpected event occurred.

Suddenly, three figures flew up from the ground, blocking his path.

Li Qing's heart skipped a beat. Before he could react, one of the three in front asked, "Who are you? Where do you want to go?"

Li Qing was about to speak casually.

However, as the words reached his lips, something suddenly changed.

"I am Li Qing of the Xuantian Sect! I infiltrated the Five Elders, obtained techniques, and am about to return!"

As if the words came out without passing through his brain, he disclosed his own secrets like that!

As soon as these words came out, Li Qing's expression changed drastically.

The three cultivators responsible for questioning from the Five Elders were first stunned.

Then, their faces showed shock and fear.

"Ther..."

Before they could react, a black sword shadow suddenly appeared like lightning, swiftly passing through the three figures.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the three cultivators turned into a mist of blood, leaving no trace of their bodies.

An anomaly of fallen cultivators in the sky began to condense.

Seizing this opportunity, Li Qing swiftly fled.

"The realm of reality!"

"Zhao Shijie is indeed petty!"

In that instant, the words he intended to speak casually turned into his true situation.

This made Li Qing suddenly realize where he was.

"The power of the true Celestial Master is indeed extraordinary!"

While hurriedly escaping, Li Qing contemplated the recent events, feeling amazed.

With his mental fortitude, he didn't notice anything unusual throughout the process.

It wasn't until the words were spoken that he realized something was wrong.

Even Li Qing sensed that, even if he knew the rules of this place now, trying to fabricate a lie would be impossible!

This was the power of overturning the principles of heaven and earth!

"Manipulating the mind is indeed the most difficult to guard against."

Feeling a sinking feeling in his heart, Li Qing increased his speed once again.

Although his whereabouts were exposed, fortunately, this place was within the inner land of the Five Elders, and defenses weren't that strict. For a moment, there were no pursuers.

Secondly, Zhao Shijie probably just wanted to scare him, without any intention to harm him. Otherwise, the transaction between the two sides would be in vain.

Therefore, Li Qing was only teleported to the border of the realm of reality.

Not flying for long, he returned to the Wanxian Alliance.

However, there was a little incident while crossing the boundary defenses of the Wanxian Alliance.

During the time he went to the Five Elders, the defensive array at the border had completely changed.

The vulnerabilities in the array passed on by the original self were no longer effective, almost exposing him to the patrol cultivators of the Wanxian Alliance.

Fortunately, the original self noticed the situation and timely deciphered the array, preventing Li Qing from being exposed.

Flying again within the Wanxian Alliance's territory, Li Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Although I gained techniques this time, the journey back was full of twists and turns."

"Is this the so-called 'good things come after difficulties'? I hope there won't be any more trouble in the future."

Thinking like this, Li Qing quickly headed towards the Lingmu Realm.

Perhaps there were truly mysterious factors of destiny at play because, as he approached the entrance of the Lingmu Realm, for some unknown reason, Li Qing was unexpectedly locked onto by a flying and patrolling team of "Heaven Patrol Arrows."

The arrow light suddenly appeared, catching Li Qing off guard, directly piercing through his body.

If Li Qing hadn't achieved the extraordinary with the "Marvels of the Heavenly Dao" and wielded myriad sword principles at the moment the Heaven Patrol Arrow was about to hit, neutralizing some of its force.

He might have fallen on the spot!

Even so, Li Qing was not lightly injured.

The launch of the Heaven Patrol Arrow also attracted the attention of Wanxian Alliance cultivators.

Fortunately, Lin Ling, who had been dispatched to guide him, arrived quickly and took the heavily injured Li Qing away.

When the Wanxian Alliance cultivators arrived, all they saw was a large pit and faint traces of blood.

Inside the Lingmu Realm,

Li Fan personally healed the injuries of the clone.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 928: Little Celestial Healer, Li Fan

A vigorous stream of spiritual power was continuously delivered into the clone Li Qing's body.

However, the body that should have quickly healed was becoming increasingly fragmented during the process of regeneration.

It felt like an excruciating pain, as if bones were being scraped and the soul drawn out.

Even Li Fan couldn't help but furrow his brows when he sensed the pain coming from the clone.

There seemed to be an extremely strange force lurking around the wound, preventing it from healing.

This force wouldn't disappear with the destruction of the physical body. Instead, like maggots around a bone, it infiltrated the foundation of the cultivator's Dao.

Li Fan had a premonition that if left unchecked, the clone's "Marvels of the Heavenly Dao" Dao Foundation might be corroded.

"The Heaven Patrol Arrows didn't seem so formidable before, as if they were specifically designed to target Neo-Dao cultivators."

"Not only has their quantity expanded manyfold, but their killing power has also increased..."

Thinking of the increasing number of Heaven Patrol Arrows in the sky of the Wanxian Alliance, Li Fan felt an unusual sense of unease.

In his view, although these Heaven Patrol Arrows were individual entities, they might be able to form a vast array that covered the entire Wanxian Alliance.

It could weave into a massive, all-encompassing net.

Similar to the mysterious web Li Fan had encountered before.

In a moment of distraction, Li Fan activated the power of the "Final Dissociation Disc," attempting to deduce the situation.

After about a few breaths, the results confirmed the feasibility of Li Fan's speculation.

Li Fan also remembered the new defensive array encountered by the clone during its return.

He could almost be certain that the Wanxian Alliance was brewing something big recently. It remained to be seen what revelation would surprise the Five Elders.

"Perhaps it's related to the one who took the transmission, replacing Mo Rubin."

Li Fan squinted his eyes, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

After a while, he decided to temporarily set it aside.

The most pressing matter now was to cure the clone.

Achieving the Dao Foundation through the Marvels of the Heavenly Dao was not an easy feat. If it were destroyed so easily, it would be a great pity.

While the clone was away at the Five Elders, Li Fan had been diligently studying the "Heaven-Repairing Records" in seclusion within the Lingmu Realm.

Combining it with the "Divine Medicine Manual" and various information gathered during multiple cycles of reincarnation.

Li Fan, in the field of "medicine," could be said to have taken the first step.

Moreover, his level of insight into medicine, compared to ordinary healers in the Xuanhuang Realm, was far superior, almost complete dominance.

After all, having the lifetime experience of a divine physician as the theoretical foundation made it challenging to become a mediocre healer.

"The defeat of a divine being requires weakening their soul and mending it with injuries..."

Li Fan recalled the content of the Heaven-Repairing Records, his expression solemn.

Releasing a trace of soul power, enveloped in pure spiritual power, he formed several silver needles.

With a gentle wave, all these needles pierced into the broken body of the clone Li Qing and disappeared.

The clone, which was still resisting pain and convulsing, instantly fell into a deep slumber.

Even if there were more pains, it couldn't feel them, as if it had already died.

Holding his breath for a moment, Li Fan's mind moved, "Swift!"

In an instant, all these silver needles returned.

They lined up neatly in front of Li Fan.

The originally silver needles turned dark in this short period, as if some toxin had been absorbed along the tip of the array.

Li Fan sensed the soul power within these needles, which belonged to himself.

After finding that the dark toxin had contaminated these needles, his soul power seemed to be directly transformed, rapidly becoming silent.

"The power is formidable."

"However, compared to the 'illness' I saw on Han Zhong before, it is weaker by more than a bit."

"After all, this dark force only affects the soul. With my Endless Void Technique, even if the soul is consumed, it can be quickly replenished."

"But that illness from beyond directly affects the upper limit of the soul."

Li Fan thought so, his hands moving continuously.

Silver needles flew into Li Qing's body one after another, then brought out the continually corroding dark force.

As the culprit disappeared, Li Qing's complexion gradually improved.

As for the dark force extracted, Li Fan temporarily sealed and saved them all using Seven-Colored Divine Light.

Researching these later might yield some surprises.

The treatment took the time of an incense stick.

When it was confirmed that the last trace of dark force had been eliminated, Li Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Heaven-Repairing Records are indeed extraordinary. A small trial resolved the Wanxian Alliance's experimental weapon."

The principle of this treatment was relatively simple.

It involved suppressing the soul activity of the clone Li Qing and then injecting the soul power of the silver needle into it as bait.

The toxins were then sucked out.

Of course, to complete the treatment without causing damage to the patient's soul, the healer needed a very high proficiency in soul techniques.

If it weren't for Li Fan treating his own clone, Li Qing, who he was extremely familiar with, and having the endless supply of soul replenishment from the Endless Void Technique, the treatment wouldn't have been so straightforward.

After some time, Li Qing slowly woke up.

The first thing he said was, "The Heaven Patrol Arrows' lock wasn't due to bad luck. It should be that I left some traces when breaking through the defensive array."

"So, I was attacked by the Heaven Patrol Arrows."

Li Fan nodded slightly, "I also thought of this."

"That new array does have some tricks. Although it doesn't seem particularly difficult to decipher, thinking about it now, it deliberately exposed its flaws."

"Like a bait, when a formation expert follows the exposed flaws, while seemingly breaking the array, it secretly triggers a mark."

"Utilizing this mark, combined with the ubiquitous Heaven Patrol Arrows in the Wanxian Alliance now, is enough for post-event assassination."

"It seems that Lu Xichan's return is somewhat useful. This kind of formation, which appears to be protective but is actually a trap, would be hard to figure out without some expertise." Li Fan said slowly.

Li Qing also sighed, "Fortunately, I have the Marvels of the Heavenly Dao as the foundation, and my blood and the Laws of the Sword are integrated. So, even if I leave behind bloodstains, I'm not afraid of being tracked. If it were an ordinary cultivator, even if they survived under the Heaven Patrol Arrows, the Wanxian Alliance could track them for thousands of miles based on the blood on the arrow."

"In any case, let's lie low for a while. Wanxian Alliance has prepared so many trump cards; it seems they are gearing up for a major move. Let's just watch and wait." Li Fan advised.

Li Qing nodded in agreement.

Then, with a touch to his brow, a silver light containing the records of the Xuantian Sect's techniques flew out of his mind.

Li Fan was cautious, not directly observing it himself.

Instead, while the clone read it, he synchronized the knowledge, recording the content of the techniques one by one in his own mind.

The techniques of the Xuantian Sect surpassed the currently existing techniques in the Xuanhuang Realm in terms of their vastness and depth.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 929: Xuantian's Legacy Immortal Technique

In the secret chamber of the Spirit Wood Realm, it took both the main body and the clone more than a month just to read through it once.

Among them, several techniques, such as "Taxation of Heaven and Earth" and "Sole Decree for All Eternity," were almost identical to the cognition Li Fan gained in the illusion.

They were even depicted more rudimentarily in the illusion.

For example, "Taxation of Heaven and Earth" was portrayed in the illusion as a simple dual cultivation technique. After the calamity where dual cultivation was forbidden, the rapid advancement effect of this technique was nullified.

However, in reality, this technique had another, more important and mystical purpose.

It could lock onto a target, forcibly sharing fate, cultivation speed, and even personal qualities like comprehension.

The so-called unity of heaven and earth.

For a true unparalleled genius, this technique might be somewhat redundant. But for someone like Li Fan, it was an extraordinary technique.

And this was just a divine ability possessed by the initial layer of "Taxation of Heaven and Earth."

As one advanced in cultivation, just like the name of the technique suggested, one could even extend the lock from individuals to include heaven and earth.

"To hold the balance of power between heaven and earth with a mortal body..."

"Worthy of being a true celestial heritage."

The upper limit of "Taxation of Heaven and Earth" was extremely high, even hinting that it could still be used after ascending to the immortal realm.

Its only fatal flaw was...

The locked target would sense the practitioner of the technique.

Hence, the term "taxation" meant just that.

Just this one point significantly reduced the importance of this technique in Li Fan's eyes.

For someone like Li Fan, who preferred to plan and calculate from the shadows, exposing himself to someone else all the time was not a wise move.

The only potential major use he could think of was capturing an unparalleled genius and keeping them captive.

Then forcibly sharing, improving his comprehension, aptitude, fate, etc.

Having read through "Taxation of Heaven and Earth," Li Fan casually skimmed through "Sole Decree for All Eternity."

"Sister Zhao actually trusted me with this complete Dao technique..."

After a moment of contemplation, Li Fan suddenly realized.

It could be said that among all these techniques, "Sole Decree for All Eternity" was the least valuable.

This was because of the principle of "Unity in Diversity," which was already occupied by Zhao Ruoxi.

With no way forward, and possibly being under constant surveillance by Sister Zhao during the cultivation process...

Li Fan decisively sealed it and set it aside.

Skipping over a few techniques, Li Fan then focused his attention on the two techniques he saw for the first time.

"The Forgotten Sutra" and "Records of the Dark and Mysterious Ghosts of the Three Dangers."

"The previous few techniques came from a giant man named Sikuang Lin among the Twelve Law Kings."

"And these techniques..."

The faces of the twelve distinctive cultivators of Xuantian School flashed through Li Fan's mind.

Soon, based on the style of the techniques, he narrowed down the possible sources.

"Sun Xingwang."

Because the aura emanating from these two techniques was too unique.

Taking "The Forgotten Sutra" as an example, this technique was somewhat similar to the abilities of the former Xuantian King.

Both had a god-like power similar to "Speak, and it shall follow."

The difference was that Xuantian King Xuanyuan Hong's "Speak" affected himself.

For example, "Body of Great Strength," "Embarking on the Dao of Heaven," and so on.

While "The Forgotten Sutra" affected all external things in the world.

When cultivated to a high level, it could even transform the entire world according to the cultivator's thoughts through the chanting of the technique.

For example, the hallmark of mastering "The Forgotten Sutra" was to chant and fabricate a nonexistent character.

As the details about this character became more detailed, this character would actually come into existence.

And act according to the established rules.

The marvel of "The Forgotten Sutra" made Li Fan marvel repeatedly.

However, like "Taxation of Heaven and Earth," "The Forgotten Sutra" also had an extremely strong side effect.

Namely, every hundred years, practitioners of the technique would lose all their memories except for the content of "The Forgotten Sutra."

Moreover, any written records or hints left behind would be actively ignored.

In other words, even if "The Forgotten Sutra" was cultivated to the highest level, the entire world might be a creation of the practitioner.

And the practitioner of the technique remains oblivious to this.

Every hundred years, they start a new chapter in life.

...

"The person who could invent this 'The Forgotten Sutra' is undoubtedly an earth-shattering talent."

Li Fan sighed faintly, then turned his gaze to the last technique.

"The Dark and Mysterious Ghosts of the Three Dangers."

This technique was the most unique.

It was a summoning technique.

Not summoning things from other realms, but summoning the "Ghosts" and "Gods" within the human body.

According to the technique's explanation, everyone is born with endless thoughts.

These thoughts are like waves on the sea.

Most of them are fleeting.

But these waves, collectively, form the vast sea of "humans."

If every thought at birth is saved, nurtured, and cultivated to maturity day and night, it will give birth to countless refined essences of thoughts in one's mental sea.

Each of them will take shape as "Ghosts" and "Gods" based on the nature and content of the original thought.

The so-called Three Dangers refer to humans, ghosts, and gods.

Since these ghosts and gods originate from oneself, all three are interconnected.

And as the strength of the individual grows, the power of ghosts and gods will also expand by a thousandfold.

With a single thought released, it's as if the underworld is brought back to the mortal realm.

Darkness envelops, and the spirit runs rampant.

With deliberate indulgence, a single thought could destroy the entire world, turning all other living beings into one's own ghosts and gods, as if it were an easy task.

This "The Dark and Mysterious Ghosts of the Three Dangers" surprisingly had no particularly strong side effects.

If one must mention it, the different whispers of countless ghosts and gods, which do not exist at every moment, are probably the only negative factor.

If the mind is not firm, it is possible to drive oneself insane.

And even if the will is strong, facing the incessant whispering of billions of ghosts and gods day and night, there will eventually be a day when it becomes unbearable.

At that time, the person practicing this technique will go berserk.

Releasing billions of ghosts and gods to destroy the world.

However, "The Dark and Mysterious Ghosts of the Three Dangers," when combined with "The Forgotten Sutra," has an unexpected effect.

The memory wipe every hundred years eliminates the negative emotions brought by the billions of ghosts and gods.

However, the ghosts and gods themselves do not disappear.

Even if one forgets the technique of "The Dark and Mysterious Ghosts of the Three Dangers," cultivating the thoughts of ghosts and gods has become a kind of instinct.

In this way, as time passes, one's own strength will continue to increase.

"However, I remember Sun Xingwang once said that practicing these two techniques together has unexpected points of rejection."

"It's not as beautiful as one might imagine."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 930: Reincarnation of Holy Blood

Which technique should he cultivate?

Li Fan hesitated for a moment.

These were indeed genuine immortal techniques, but...

A shadow crossed Li Fan's eyes.

In the first illusion experienced by Senior Sister Zhao, she had practiced two techniques: "The Worldly Tribute" and "The Soul-Severing Divine Art."

Apart from the characteristics of the techniques themselves, they shared an extremely peculiar commonality.

Once cultivated, they could never be abolished.

Even the supreme secret techniques and the original scriptures of the highest level sects were the same.

Moreover, there was an even more fatal point.

All the techniques of the Xuantian Sect seemed to bear a special mark. True experts, no matter how well they concealed it, could be discerned by those in the know at a glance.

Furthermore, within the Xuantian Sect, there was a secret technique called "Taking the Place of Heaven," which could not only completely deprive one of their techniques and cultivation but also transfer the realms and powers gained from cultivating the Xuantian Sect's techniques to another.

At that time, Li Fan was just an ordinary cultivator who had mistakenly entered the illusion. Senior Sister Zhao had no reason to deliberately tamper with information about the Xuantian Sect.

So, it could be basically confirmed as true.

The strange thing was that Li Fan did not find relevant memories in the fragments of Ji Yu Zhen's soul.

Considering Xuantian Wang's near-perfect portrayal of himself...

It chilled Li Fan's heart.

This was also one of the major reasons why Li Fan had always doubted the "good person" identity of Xuantian Wang.

Of course, it could also be that Ji Yu Zhen's soul was not complete, leading to memory loss.

Regardless, Li Fan had to remain vigilant against these Xuantian Sect techniques.

After all, this wasn't a rare book he personally obtained; it was passed down by Xuantian Wang and then taught by Senior Sister Zhao.

With their cultivation realms, if they made some changes to the techniques, Li Fan would never be able to detect it.

"My goal is just to camouflage a bit."

...

After pondering for a moment, Li Fan suddenly had an idea.

"Perhaps I can use Yanfa Jue to deduce a technique with similar external characteristics but a different core."

"Doing this might be a bit risky, but I can use the Holy Blood Reincarnation method to create another clone to try it out."

"If it fails, I'll have to take the risk myself."

"However, after the next true cultivation, I won't be able to retain my cultivation."

Li Fan's decision seemed a bit exaggerated, but he knew deeply that when competing with these old monsters in the Xuanhuang Realm, it was never too careful.

If one misstep, it could plant the seeds of failure.

Of course, regardless, the gains from this trip to the Great Dao Sect were definitely not small.

Even though he couldn't start cultivation right away, the exposure to true immortal techniques broadened Li Fan's horizons. It made him realize that techniques could be so mysterious.

Moreover...

When Li Fan's strength slowly grew in the future and he uncovered the secrets of the Xuantian Sect, these techniques would truly become nourishment for his cultivation.

Taking a deep breath, he temporarily stored these techniques deep in his mind.

Following the plan, Li Fan directly activated the Holy Blood Reincarnation method.

The materials needed were left over from his looting in the Empire, and in no time, a body very similar to Li Fan appeared before him.

The clone, Li Qing, did not have memories of the Holy Blood Reincarnation, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

As usual, Li Fan modified the memories and soul of the holy fetus.

With the previous experience, his movements became even more skilled and smooth.

Before long, Li Qing, the holy fetus, opened his eyes.

The biggest weakness of the Holy Blood Reincarnation method was that the reborn holy fetus only possessed the physique of an ordinary person and had no cultivation.

It needed to be re-cultivated step by step.

Without Mr. Bai's astonishing talent, it seemed quite mediocre.

Chapter 930: Reincarnation of Holy Blood

However, in this world, with the existence of the faceless stone statue, Li Fan could easily solve this drawback.

Seizing the holy fetus, Li Fan flashed and appeared in front of the faceless stone statue.

As usual, countless images rushed in like a tide.

However, the most intense and sincere among them was not Su Yuqing.

But transformed into He Zhenghao!

"Compassionate True Immortal in the mortal realm! Bless me to come up with more ideas for the Xuantian Sealing Spirit Array...."

He Zhenghao continuously prayed, extremely devout.

According to the constantly flashing images, Li Fan instantly understood what had recently happened to him.

Just as Li Fan had expected, after he used the faceless stone statue to transmit the content of the Xuantian Sealing Spirit Array to He Zhenghao's mind, the latter, unintentionally, brought up various speculations about the Xuantian Sealing Spirit Array in the Strategy Hall of the Wanxian Alliance headquarters, immediately attracting great attention.

As a rare genius in the field of formations, his treatment and situation suddenly changed.

He Zhenghao also constantly conveyed all the inspirations that occasionally appeared in his mind, hoping to exchange for a higher status.

However, problems also arose.

He Zhenghao's talent in formations was good, but there was still a considerable gap between him and deducing the Xuantian Sealing Spirit Array, a formation at this level.

Even if he knew the complete formation diagram, he still only had a partial understanding and couldn't comprehend its true essence.

He Zhenghao was somewhat shrewd and didn't hand over the complete content all at once.

He only improved it from time to time, trying to delay as much as possible.

He wanted to take the opportunity to study the Xuantian Sealing Spirit Array on his own.

But as days passed and He Zhenghao's progress was extremely slow, he finally woke up to reality.

The gap between him and the Xuantian Sealing Spirit Array was too vast and profound.

Relying solely on himself, it was impossible for him to fathom the true meaning of the formation.

So, he placed his only hope on the "Compassionate True Immortal in the mortal realm."

Every day, it seemed like he was working hard to deduce the formation, but in reality, he repeated his prayers in his mind.

His level of devotion exceeded that of all other alliance members.

Li Fan, who understood the situation, shook his head slightly.

However, He Zhenghao was someone Li Fan was relatively familiar with. If he wanted to attract the attention of Mo Ruhu Bin, he still needed to use him as a pawn. Therefore, Li Fan wouldn't stand idly by.

With a thought, a large number of annotations and explanations about the Xuantian Sealing Spirit Array were continuously transmitted into He Zhenghao's mind.

The impact of the data volume was so huge that He Zhenghao couldn't bear it for a while and fell into a deep sleep.

There was nothing noteworthy among the other believers. As for the holy fetus Li Fan, he looked towards the faceless deity.

Like other alliance members, he sincerely prayed.

However, before long, Li Fan felt a mysterious connection. Through the faceless deity, a transfer was completed, establishing a link between the main body and the holy fetus.

Li Fan squinted his eyes. In the next moment, a large amount of cultivation was infused into the holy fetus.

The holy fetus, originally just an ordinary body, underwent earth-shaking changes in an instant.
