Chapter 1069: The Earth Viens Stir Trouble Once More
“If I am not mistaken, someone has successfully reversed the principles of life and death?”
“The Xuanhuang Realm actually hides such a figure? You did not inform me of this crucial intelligence in advance?”
There was a hint of annoyance in Li Fan’s voice.
“With the Rebirth Mansion in existence, even if many more cultivators die, it probably cannot threaten the Xuanhuang Realm anymore.”
“It seems the plan to force Dharma-Transmitter Jiang to appear will fail.” Li Fan let out a long sigh.
A puzzled expression appeared on Dharma-Transmitter Zhou’s face.
“You may not believe it, but regarding this new Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereign, we Dharma-Transmitters are also completely in the dark.”
“I mean, not just the three of us who were exiled. Even those still in the Dharma-Transmitter Council at this moment are the same!” Dharma-Transmitter Zhou stated with great certainty.
With that, she looked at Li Fan with some suspicion: “This Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereign is truly not one of your Federation of All Worlds?”
“My first reaction at the time was…”
“How could that be!” Li Fan shook his head directly in denial.
The two exchanged a glance and saw the shock and doubt in each other’s hearts.
“It seems the Xuanhuang Realm has expanded for so many years; the waters are deeper than I imagined.” Dharma-Transmitter Wei’s gaze was profound, his brows tightly furrowed. “This new Heavenly Sovereign should also have infiltrated the Xuanhuang Realm at some unknown time and settled there ever since.”
“However, from his style of action, for so many years, he has been cultivating in silence, uninvolved in worldly affairs. As long as we do not provoke him, there should be no major issues.”
Li Fan suddenly recalled the countless frozen corpses in the [Great Reversal of Life and Death Formation].
He fell silent.
“The sudden appearance of the Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign is truly hard to predict. But saying our plan has failed is still too early.” At this moment, Dharma-Transmitter Huang, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.
Li Fan and the others immediately turned to look at Huang in unison.
“In truth, we are only one step away from forcing Jiang out.”
“The mutation in the Xuanhuang Realm’s spiritual energy has made the cultivators bloodthirsty and prone to slaughter. This is a major event that profoundly alters the Xuanhuang Realm’s structure.”
“The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, bearing the heavy responsibility of maintaining stability in the Xuanhuang Realm, must investigate and resolve this matter. As long as we eliminate all the Alliance members who come to investigate, sooner or later, Jiang will have no choice but to step in.”
“Anyway, with the phenomenon of cultivators falling no longer occurring, even if we act, it will not expose us.” Huang stated matter-of-factly.
Dharma-Transmitter Zhou and Wei both showed strange expressions upon hearing this.
Li Fan, however, nodded slightly in agreement.
“This is indeed a viable method.”
“I will trouble you with it.”
“However, we cannot pin all hopes on Jiang taking the initiative to strike. When I return, I will apply to the Federation council to see if we can activate a new world-destruction plan.”
With that, Li Fan did not wait for their response and directly severed the connection with the three Dharma-Transmitters.
“After the Rebirth Mansion appeared, cultivators’ lives can no longer be used as a means of threat.”
“We still need to start from the Xuanhuang Realm itself.”
The [Nothingness] Character Script had already been used once before against Dharma-Transmitter Jiang.
Although Dharma-Transmitter Jiang seemed to have no related memories after the return to origin.
This time, it was only to force him to appear, then resolve Mo Rubin through him.
Rather than truly opposing him.
So, it was still best not to choose the [Nothingness] Character Secret.
Li Fan pondered for a moment, then refocused his attention on the mutated Dao One Insects.
After a period of reproduction, the Dao One Insects releasing murderous spiritual energy had quietly occupied vast, continuous underground regions in the Xuanhuang Realm.
However, under Li Fan’s deliberate control, besides normal reproduction and releasing spiritual energy, they had not done anything excessive.
Otherwise, with their current scale, triggering another great stench in the Xuanhuang Realm would be effortless.
After careful deliberation, Li Fan changed his combat strategy.
The enemy target shifted from the Xuanhuang Realm’s cultivators to the Xuanhuang Realm itself.
To prevent being resented by heaven and earth, which might cause accidents when later using False Misconversion of the Heavenly Dao and absorbing the Xuanhuang’s impending heaven and earth transformations.
The subsequent manipulation of the insect swarm was all handled by the clone Li Fan on his behalf.
The mutated Dao One Insects, upon receiving the command from the Insect Mother, instantly became active.
They did not fly toward the surface, but continued delving deeper underground.
Following the flow of earth veins spiritual energy, they began gnawing on the branches of the ancient tree earth veins contained within.
Li Fan had not forgotten how this ancient tree earth vein had occasionally secretly incited Lin Ling to rebel against him.
Although Lin Ling had been awed by the strength Li Fan displayed and ultimately chose to abandon the darkness for the light.
This did not mean the matter was simply settled.
Lin Ling was currently acting as a laborer in the Federation of All Worlds to atone for her crimes.
Now, it was time to settle accounts with this Earth Vein Ancient Tree.
The earth vein ancient tree had roots delving deep underground.
Its root tendrils spread throughout the Xuanhuang.
But its main body was ultimately just a massive tree.
Though somewhat difficult to digest. In the face of countless, boundless mutated Dao One Insects, there was no tree that could not be gnawed.
The Dao One Insects underground all went mad, disregarding their own lives to devour the ancient tree’s root tendrils scattered in the leylines.
The earth vein ancient tree had already fused as one with the earth vein.
When all the ancient tree’s root tendrils in a certain region were eradicated, the direct consequence was…
Subsidence.
Terrifying subsidence on the scale of leveling mountains and filling seas.
Without warning, large-scale land collapse disasters began occurring in certain regions of the Xuanhuang Realm.
Even though cultivators mostly lived in the suspended heavenly cities and were not greatly threatened.
This matter still immediately drew the highest attention from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
The response was much faster than before. On the second day of the subsidence incident, investigation teams were sent to various places to probe.
Li Fan sent a message to the three Dharma-Transmitters, asking them to cooperate covertly.
While astonished at the Federation of All Worlds’ endless methods, the three Dharma-Transmitters cooperated fully, each displaying their divine abilities to quietly take down the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance investigation teams.
The first wave of personnel all mysteriously vanished, and the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance suddenly sensed something was wrong.
Thus, the second wave to lead the supervision turned out to be two Dharma-Transmitters.
Upon receiving the message, Li Fan, clad in the Tianyang Immortal Armor as the final trump card, arrived at the site of the confrontation between the Dharma-Transmitters.
“No aura of the Xuantian Sect’s techniques detected. It seems they have not been possessed by that Dharma King.” Dharma-Transmitter Zhou secretly transmitted a message.
“What now?”
“Reason with them, appeal to their emotions. If that truly fails, then temporarily suppress them first. Once everything returns to normal, release them.” Dharma-Transmitter Wei quickly made the decision.
While the four were discussing here, the two opposing Dharma-Transmitters looked at the suddenly appearing Zhou, Wei, and others, their faces showing shock and fury.
“I never expected it was you all scheming in the shadows?”
“Back then, you yourselves proposed leaving the Dharma-Transmitter Council. Even if you are dissatisfied now, you should not commit such sins!”
Dharma-Transmitter Chu said with a face full of disappointment.
