The response to the other party was a deathly silence.
After a moment, the other party's voice suddenly softened, gently advising.
"Guang Yangzi, under a collapsed nest, there are no intact eggs. I believe you understand."
"It's not that we, the Ten Great Immortal Sects, are forcing each other. It's just that the war situation is tense and has reached a critical point."
"Your small sects in the mountains may be miserable, but those of us leading the way, are we really any better?"
"I won't hide it from you. In our Sky Sword Sect, more than half of my peers have died in battle."
"I'm afraid that soon, I'll have to personally go to the battlefield."
"At this stage of the war, there is no way back."
After a long time, Guang Yangzi sighed, "I understand, old man."
"This time, let me accompany the envoy."
"Master!" A slightly hoarse voice exclaimed, about to say something, but was interrupted by Guang Yangzi.
"My mind is made up, you don't need to persuade me, Lian Chang!"
"Good! Courageous! In that case, I won't stay for long. Remember, within seven days, you must go to Congyun Mountain and join us."
After the other party left, Guang Yangzi said to the Third Senior Brother, "Lian Chang, come with me. Before we leave, there's something I need to tell you."
"Yes, Master." Lian Chang choked up.
The sound gradually faded away.
Li Fan fell into a deep sleep again.
...
"Tianyang, Tianyang!"
"It's time to take medicine. The recent herbs are distributed by those major sects. The quality is much higher than what you used to take."
"I believe it won't be long before you recover."
In his memory, the usually silent Third Senior Brother suddenly became talkative.
Feeding Tianyang medicine while telling him some interesting stories about the cultivation world.
"Third Senior Brother, is Master, like Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother, not coming back?" Li Fan suddenly asked.
Lian Chang's movements suddenly froze.
After a moment, he forced a smile and said, "Junior Brother, don't think too much. Taking care of your health is the most important."
"Master will definitely come back."
"Definitely."
Lian Chang repeated this sentence as if convincing himself.
Li Fan nodded.
After the medicine was taken, a warm feeling spread in his belly.
It did feel much better.
Fatigue overwhelmed him, and Li Fan fell asleep again.
"Bang! Bang!"
Li Fan was awakened by the sound of a fight.
The voice of the Third Senior Brother came from a distance, "Every time they say it's the last battle, a crucial moment."
"How long has it been, and how many people have died!"
"It never ends!"
"I won't go anymore, just kill me!"
"Anyway, going to the front line is death!"
The other party's voice also sounded tired, "Lian Chang, don't force me to take action."
"Do you think you can die just because you want to? Turn you into a puppet to fight the enemy, consider it my completing the mission."
"Only, your Master, Guang Yangzi, once saved my life on the battlefield. Before he died, I promised him to take care of you Body Transformation Dao disciples as much as possible."
"This time, I came personally to explain to you. It's already the utmost benevolence and righteousness."
"Otherwise, you would have been directly arrested."
"Make good use of the remaining time and make all the necessary arrangements."
"The little guy named Tianyang, Guang Yangzi also mentioned to me."
"His physique is extremely compatible with your sect's 'Body Transformation Freedom' technique. As long as he can survive the tribulation, he can revitalize the Body Transformation Dao."
"I also know that your Body Transformation Dao has indeed sacrificed a lot."
"When the war is won and rewards are given, I will apply above to request an additional 'Supreme Foundation Establishment Pill' for Tianyang. It will help him refine his body and rebuild his constitution."
"This is the supreme divine medicine of the Tai Shang Sect, even ordinary inner disciples of the Tai Shang Sect are not qualified to take it."
Under the continuous persuasion of the other party, Lian Chang was finally persuaded.
"I'm willing to follow you to the front line. However, I have a condition – I want this Supreme Foundation Establishment Pill before I depart." Lian Chang's tone was determined.
"My junior brother's body is too weak, he has been in a coma for years. Without this pill to change his fate, he can't take care of himself at all."
"You..."
The other party sighed.
After a long time, he said slowly, "Alright, let me give it a try."
After the other party left, Lian Chang walked to Li Fan's side and seemed to say a lot.
However, in the deep sleep, Li Fan couldn't hear anything clearly.
After some time, Li Fan heard Lian Chang's excited voice, "Junior brother, quickly take this pill."
"After taking it, you will be able to recover to normal."
Lian Chang fed the Supreme Foundation Establishment Pill to Li Fan, observed for a moment, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Another familiar voice sounded again, "Alright, since the pill is fine, let's depart as soon as possible."
"If it delays the final battle, I can't guarantee your safety."
Lian Chang patted Li Fan's head.
"Take care, junior brother."
The footsteps faded away, and the large door closed with a bang.
From then on, the Body Transformation Dao fell into absolute silence.
Lying on the bed, in a semi-conscious state, Li Fan felt the medicinal power of the Supreme Foundation Establishment Pill continuously spreading in his body.
A hot flow permeated his meridians, remodeling his physical constitution.
It was many times more potent than all the soups he had taken before combined.
Strength returned bit by bit to his body.
Li Fan fell into a deep sleep again.
When he woke up, he found the long-lost vitality filling his body.
His mind became much clearer.
Recalling the experiences since he possessed Tianyang's body, Li Fan couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless.
Before this, the weakness of this body exceeded Li Fan's imagination.
It made him unable to make any effective thoughts or responses.
He could only watch the "plot" unfold helplessly, just like the original Tianyang.
"It seems that this first attempt is expected to fail."
"But I didn't expect to gain anything on the first try."
"Consider it as collecting information."
Thinking like this, Li Fan checked the Body Transformation Dao cave again.
Apart from a jade slip left by the Third Senior Brother, there was nothing else valuable.
The cave's door was tightly sealed, and it couldn't be opened from the inside.
After observing for a moment, Li Fan vaguely sensed, "This seems to be a limitation of the 'Returning to Truth' itself, not really because the restriction on the door is too strong."
"Can I only stay in this space..."
After careful consideration, Li Fan returned to the room and began reading the contents of the jade slip.
In addition to the inheritance of the 'Body Transformation Freedom' technique, there was a message from the Third Senior Brother to Tianyang.
"Junior brother, practice well at home and wait for my return."
"Master said that once your body returns to normal, your cultivation talent will not lose to anyone."
"Including those direct disciples of the major immortal sects."
"Keep it up, I'm counting on you. When you have achieved success in your cultivation, you can be my reliance!"
...
After putting down the jade slip, Li Fan remained silent for a long time.
