Chapter 1100 The Deceased Becomes an Immortal Puppet
"Even our own people, if they die in the Dark Sea, cannot achieve this."
"Too light, too light."
The leader of the You Clan explained, and Li Fan immediately understood.
It was judged through the fluctuations caused by being in the Dark Sea.
The body of Mo Ruxin completely did not conform to the normal behavior of a deceased living being.
"Either it's just a shell serving as a diversion, or..."
"It's that this person is deeply favored by the darkness, and most of his spiritual essence returned to the Dark Sea in an instant after his death. Only the decayed part remains, slowly melting into the darkness." The leader of the You Clan suddenly mentioned another possibility.
"However, even the most powerful sacrifices in our clan's history cannot achieve a state like his after death. So, I am more inclined to think that what we see is just an empty shell."
Li Fan's eyes flickered at these words.
Just hearing the words of the leader of the You Clan, he couldn't help but be shocked for a moment. But if the darkness here is connected to the King of Xuantian, then the anomaly after Mo Ruxin's death would make sense.
"But we still cannot be careless. The Xuantian Sect is extraordinarily cunning and has endless means. We still need to be cautious."
"Regardless of whether he is really dead or not, my plan will not change because of it."
With these thoughts in mind, Li Fan inquired about the details of Mo Ruxin's body.
He had seen his position not long ago, and it was clearly not here.
Unexpectedly, the Wanxian Alliance found a way to resist the dark infection in such a short time and transferred him here.
"If it really is just a worthless shell, the Wanxian Alliance wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to transfer it. In my opinion, the Wanxian Alliance likely used Mo Ruxin's body to steal the vortex of darkness and stabilize it." The Craftsman Master expressed his opinion.
"The nature of this darkness is somewhat similar to the essence of source power. According to common sense, with the vast expanse of the Dark Sea, if there really is a small vent, it will definitely form an unimaginable energy vortex. But here, it's too calm." The Craftsman Master's words were firm and the leader of the You Clan fell into a daze.
After careful observation, he said with some surprise, "Supervisor, this immortal master is right! The normally violent darkness, after being filtered and influenced by that empty shell, has actually become stable!"
"Even the darkness can be appeased, what exactly..." The leader of the You Clan's tone was astonished and full of suspicion.
Li Fan was immediately lost in thought at these words.
If the underworld is really connected to the King of Xuantian, then apart from the companions of the Xuantian Sect in the past, the only thing that would attract his special attention would be the statue of the faceless True Immortal.
But it was still uncertain whether the True Immortal statue would cause a significant stir in the underworld. So Li Fan needed to carefully consider whether or not to do this.
The main task of this trip is still to study this mysterious power of darkness. And to inquire about Mo Ruxin's news.
"Can we get close to this place and secretly open a passage to a small world?" Li Fan asked, "With the role of Mo Ruxin's body, the resulting disturbance should not be too significant."
After some consideration, the chief of the You Clan affirmed.
"But it's best not to arouse too much darkness, otherwise two equally sized vortices are likely to gradually come together and form a larger whole."
"Yes, we will only take a little for research, not be too greedy."
With Li Fan's approval, the group immediately took action.
With the direction of their leader, the You Clan people, almost next to the Wanxian Alliance's stronghold, secretly opened a space channel.
This was originally their hometown, and combined with the special abilities of Li Fan and the others, they were able to conceal the fluctuations.
Thus the operation went smoothly, without being noticed by the Wanxian Alliance from beginning to end.
Of course, this may be due to the fact that they were all focused on guarding the giant vortex.
"It's truly amazing that the turbulent Dark Sea has become so calm here." Witnessing this miraculous scene, the leader of the You Clan couldn't help but marvel.
Meanwhile, in the underground world.
The dark power that had escaped from its cage had now regained its original nature.
At a terrifying speed, it surged towards and engulfed everything around it.
The last bit of light in the underground world quickly disappeared.
Numerous beings died quietly and inexplicably.
Fortunately, the scale of this underground small world was not too large.
After quickly filling it with dark power, it began to flow back to the underworld.
Just like the ebb and flow of tides.
And at the entrance of the underground world connecting to the Xuanhuang Realm, Li Fan keenly noticed the darkness beginning to seep in.
They hadn't opened the passage yet, so the process was very slow.
"If we have to pass through here in and out, then it won't be long before the overflowing darkness is detected by the Wanxian Alliance," Liu Ruchen frowned and said.
"I'll think of a way," the Craftsman Master volunteered, "Source power and darkness do not mix. Perhaps we can construct a buffer zone here. Of course, this may require a large amount of source power essence."
The Craftsman Master said this and couldn't help but look at Li Fan.
Li Fan was not at all interested in the residual power of the True Immortal. He had already accumulated a considerable amount during this time, and it was of no particular use.
However, after pretending to deliberate for a long time, he reluctantly agreed.
Seeing this, the Craftsman Master was overjoyed and immediately got to work, calling forth his beloved creation to help.
A stunningly beautiful female Immortal Puppet, which used the same technology as the Tianyang Immortal Puppet, but no one knew where the consciousness and personality of the Immortal Puppet came from.
It was while the Craftsman Master was constructing the "buffer zone" that he casually mentioned and boasted about her origins.
"When the [ancestor] collapsed, I barely survived the catastrophe and escaped my hometown. But some folks weren't so lucky. Their bodies were destroyed in the disaster, leaving only their consciousness saved and carried by me."
"Don't be fooled by how obedient she is now; she used to scold me a lot! Hahaha!"
"Back in the days of the Tianling Sect, I even prepared a puppet body for her. But it was too rigid, and I didn't like it. I lost interest after a short while and destroyed it."
"Unlike now, she's lifelike and almost indistinguishable from a real person."
