Three months after the Zhaxian Bell rang.
The Immortal Recruitment Order arrived as scheduled.
The disciples of the Body Transformation Dao gathered to discuss countermeasures.
Li Fan also wanted to quietly approach but was sternly pulled out by Master Tianyang Zi.
He could only vaguely listen to the discussion from outside the door.
"What kind of nonsense Immortal Recruitment Order is this? Why bother with it! Those members of the major sects number in the thousands, and sending a few of them is nothing."
"We in the Body Transformation Dao have so few people. Do they really want us to go to the front lines? What kind of reasoning is this?"
...
Second Senior Brother's remarks were in line with Li Fan's previous experiences.
And the final result was consistent with Li Fan's earlier experiences.
The eldest senior brother went to battle first.
Before leaving, everyone bid tearful farewells.
Li Fan asked the eldest senior brother who he was going to fight.
Sistar just smiled and patted his junior brother's head, saying he was going to fight the bad guys.
Then, transforming into a green light, he disappeared into the air.
With the eldest senior brother gone, the atmosphere in the Body Transformation Dao became much more somber.
Fortunately, Second Senior Brother, being the lively character he was, still brought laughter and joy to the atmosphere.
Li Fan's successful breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage also brought jubilation to the Body Transformation Dao for a while.
But joy is always short-lived.
One year and three months after Sistar left.
Bad news arrived.
The eldest senior brother fell on the battlefield.
Second Senior Brother was filled with sorrow and anger. According to the information he privately obtained, it was clear that this was due to the major immortal sects underestimating their opponents.
The battle had started extremely smoothly.
The opponents were retreating step by step.
However, the team led by the major immortal sects seriously underestimated the hidden strength of the enemy.
In a pursuit, they fell into an ambush and were caught off guard.
Chapter 237: Passing Down the Legacy Across Generations
Heavy losses were suffered, and the front line was on the brink of collapse.
So, the immortal sect issued another Immortal Recruitment Order.
Despite harboring a hundred grievances against the immortal sect, under the absolute pressure, the disciples of the Body Transformation Dao had no choice but to follow orders once again and enlist.
This time, it was Second Senior Brother who went to the war front.
For this reason, Second Senior Brother had a fierce fight with Third Senior Brother.
In the past, when the two senior brothers sparred, Third Senior Brother, Lian Chang, usually had a slight edge.
This time, however, both of them used their true abilities to prevent the other from sacrificing themselves. Nevertheless, Lian Chang lost this time.
Second Senior Brother, Ling Xiao, was indeed strong. He painted with a brush, creating dozens of flying swords in the air. Although they were constructed with a brush, they seemed as real as if they existed.
They whizzed and collided with Lian Chang's defensive copper bell.
The brush continued, creating countless illusory magical weapons like flowers scattering, constantly attacking.
Lian Chang had almost no power to fight back.
It turned out that he had been letting his junior brother win all along.
Lian Chang felt lost.
Ling Xiao smiled and bid farewell to everyone before leaving. Before leaving, he handed over dozens of yet-to-be-sold works to Li Fan for safekeeping, instructing him not to peek. If he couldn't resist, he should exercise restraint.
After that, Ling Xiao left gracefully.
After Second Senior Brother Ling Xiao left, the atmosphere in the Body Transformation Dao fell into complete silence.
Master Tianyang Zi, watching his disciples leave one by one, seemed to age significantly.
Third Senior Brother Lian Chang, originally quiet and reserved, immersed himself in intensive cultivation after being stimulated.
Li Fan did the same.
Two years and three months after Ling Xiao left.
The Immortal Recruitment Order came again.
However, this time, Senior Brother Ling Xiao did not return.
Perhaps considering the possibility of resistance, the major immortal sects sent an Immortal Recruitment Envoy this time.
If anyone resisted, they would be killed without mercy.
Similar to the previous experiences, after some persuasion, Master Tianyang Zi went to the battlefield.
In the Body Transformation Dao's cave, only Li Fan and Third Senior Brother Lian Chang remained.
Although Li Fan had already known the direction of events, as a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator attached to someone else, how could he resist?
He could only watch helplessly as the events unfolded once again.
This time, the battle seemed even more brutal than the previous two times.
Only six months later, the exhausted Immortal Recruitment Envoy arrived once again, bearing the orders of the Ten Great Immortal Sects.
"The crucial moment of this battle has arrived."
"All sects and wilderness cultivators must unite and overcome the current difficulties."
"Anyone who disobeys orders, delays the opportunity, spreads rumors, or takes advantage of the situation to defect."
"Will be killed without mercy."
The immortal authority was awe-inspiring.
The Immortal Recruitment Envoy specifically pressured Li Fan, the youngest in the Body Transformation Dao.
Afterward, he promised some vague benefits.
Lian Chang clenched his fists but eventually agreed to the Immortal Recruitment Envoy.
Before leaving, Lian Chang left a jade slip for Li Fan.
It contained the cultivation experiences of the ancestors of the Body Transformation Dao.
He admonished Li Fan not to go out easily, then closed the main gate and left resolutely.
The Body Transformation Dao was once again left with only Li Fan.
He returned to the original course of history.
Looking back at this [Simulation], Li Fan felt a bit helpless.
To be fair, he had done quite well.
Using the "Wei" character technique from the medical classics, he successfully woke up from his slumber.
He spent some happy times with the members of the Body Transformation Dao.
He had the ability of foresight.
He could change one person's fate.
But he couldn't change the fate of many people.
The ancient war involved the entire cultivation world.
Even the Transcendent Immortal, Longevity Heavenly Venerable, was deeply entangled in the vortex of war, unable to escape.
Li Fan couldn't influence or change any of this.
So, what was Tianyang's obsession?
While contemplating, Li Fan continued to cultivate.
"Tianyang's whole life is not inferior to others..."
Gradually, Li Fan formed his own conjecture.
When Tianyang, who was young at the time, watched his master and senior brothers sacrifice themselves to protect each other and threw themselves into the battle, he resolutely faced death.
As the weakest and most protected person in the sect, he survived until the end.
All because he was "weak."
Tianyang's heart was filled with guilt and regret.
If he had been stronger at that time.
Stronger than his senior brothers.
Then, could he have replaced his senior brothers on the battlefield?
Would he not have to watch his senior brothers die one by one?
Wouldn't there be a chance for at least one senior brother to survive?
...
Perhaps, this is Tianyang's simple and sincere obsession.
Time passed slowly in Li Fan's cultivation.
Five years and three months after Lian Chang left.
The entrance to the Body Transformation Dao's cave suddenly burst open.
Seven cultivators who sought to occupy the Body Transformation Dao's cave rushed in.
Li Fan, who had been sitting for several years and lacked experience in forming a golden core, still couldn't break free from the constraints and achieve a golden core.
The ending was the same as before.
The [Simulation] world disappeared, and Li Fan returned to the real cultivation world.
The usable times of Tianyang's "Eternal Remembrance" also became one.
However, Li Fan unexpectedly discovered.
This time, he did not leave empty-handed.
The dozens of works that Second Senior Brother Lingshao entrusted to him before leaving.
Suddenly appeared in Li Fan's mind.
Li Fan remained silent for a long time before he realized something.
Perhaps, because he was in a deep sleep at that time and couldn't accompany his senior brothers properly, helping them through the last moments of their lives.
This was also Tianyang's obsession.
Erasing the traces under the sea, Li Fan returned to the Wanxian Island.
Under the name of Lingshao, he uploaded those dozen or so works one by one.
Thus, this author who had died thousands of years ago.
Started his updates once again.
