Chapter 1007 Tianxuan sees all beings
It's just like a child who has received a new toy, Li Fan is freely browsing through information in the Tianxuan mirror.
He regrets that the grade of the sea of consciousness is not enough to record and save everything he sees and hears.
All this information is considered top secret by every cultivator, but now Li Fan can see it all in the mirror.
It even includes all the transactions of goods circulating in the immortal union market and the detailed list of all transactions since records began.
It's overwhelming, almost blinding.
More valuable are the data records of all cultivators using the [Enlightenment] for cultivation.
The efficiency of each cultivator's cultivation is all within his sight.
...
The Tianxuan mirror is like an endless sea of treasures, and Li Fan is enthralled in it.
Unfortunately, the data contained in the Tianxuan mirror is too vast, and it is constantly increasing.
It is impossible to fully grasp it all.
He can only choose to record some important information first.
Li Fan knows that the information he is currently browsing is definitely being monitored by the Tianxuan mirror.
But it doesn't matter, because most of the information in these data, he won't even use in this lifetime. Instead, it will come in handy in every reincarnation in the Xuanhuang realm.
The Tianxuan mirror is like an endless sea, and Li Fan is like someone who has dug a canal at the beach, constantly drawing the sea water into himself.
Although progress is slow, it is steady.
Li Fan keeps the Tianxuan mirror close to him, continuously reading the information.
Then he quietly left the Bamboo Sea Cave and returned to the Spirit Wood Realm.
When he had browsed through a certain amount of information, almost until he felt like the sea of consciousness was going to explode, he finally slowed down his record-keeping.
Then he started browsing through the information about the existing commercial items of the Dao stones in the Immortal Union.
"One fragment of the stone mother."
"Three top-grade, sixteen high-grade."
"Middle-grade, hmm?"
"No more middle-grade?"
...
At first, Li Fan thought he had made a mistake in recording.
But after repeated confirmation, he realized that there was no mistake.
After thinking for a moment, Li Fan suddenly understood the reason for this phenomenon.
The Dao stones all originated from the stone mother and could be upgraded to a higher quality through fusion.
"It must be that the cultivators in the Immortal Union, who possess the secret technique of the Dao stones, have already plundered all the circulating and emerging Dao stones."
"Even if a new one appears, it will immediately be acquired by various means."
"Damn it, no wonder I can't buy them even with my contributions."
Li Fan's eyes flickered as he checked the list of cultivators who possessed the Dao stones.
To his surprise, the holder of the stone mother fragment turned out to be an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator...
And the holders of the other top-grade and high-grade Dao stones were all Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators.
It was clear to discerning eyes that these identities were definitely fake.
"Innocent people carrying priceless treasures... such treasures cannot be held by Foundation Establishment or Golden Core cultivators."
"These false identities can indeed hinder the investigation of some unscrupulous cultivators."
"However, as long as they exist, there must be connections. The Tianxuan mirror has faithfully recorded all the traces of the past."
"How can they escape my pursuit..."
At this moment, Li Fan decided not to disguise himself in front of the Tianxuan mirror, and exposed all the detailed information of these twenty empty-shell cultivators.
From the moment he entered the Tianxuan mirror to his current cultivation, all communications, trade partners, and their sponsors.
He then further obtained data on these secondary suspects.
Like layers of a giant net, constantly weaving and extending.
When the level reached "Five," the net was associated with over a dozen cultivators.
"Some of them can be directly excluded."
Li Fan pressed his throbbing head, which was already under full load, took a rest, and then started searching for his targets again.
After repeated comparisons and exclusions, he finally narrowed down the list to less than a hundred people.
Their cultivation varied from Yuan Infant to Dao Union.
"It's quite troublesome for me to investigate alone."
"I will first focus on monitoring their recent activities in the Tianxuan mirror, and then ask Moru Bin for help with the investigation."
After pondering for a moment, Li Fan already had a plan in mind.
Almost all of these hundred people work in the Immortal Union.
It would be almost impossible for him to investigate alone.
Without special relations, he probably wouldn't even see their faces in a lifetime.
However, if the investigation comes from a higher authority, it will surely be much easier.
"The Dao stones are too valuable. If it weren't for the fact that the stones of the Taiyanzong Stone Mother have already been digitized, I would have been tempted to just barge in and seize them by force."
But then he remembered the fleeing white light during the apocalypse of the 115th world, and Li Fan calmed down and faced the reality.
Clearly, someone who could successfully escape from the crisis of the true immortal's annihilation is not someone the current Li Fan can deal with.
...
In the following period of time, Li Fan's life was quite fulfilling.
The end-of-life dissipation disc operated at maximum efficiency, absorbing the essence of the Wanling Counting Array and constantly deriving new possibilities for formations.
As for the Dao stones, he classified and integrated the information obtained from the Tianxuan mirror, selecting the valuable parts.
Meanwhile, Li Fan himself was wandering around in the Tianxuan mirror.
Like a transparent being, no one could see him, but he could see everyone.
Their conversations, cultivation, and trades.
With the concealment of the Tianxuan mirror, cultivators were much more unrestrained than in the real world, allowing Li Fan to see a more authentic side of them.
For example, friends who were just calling each other brothers one moment, start cursing each other out as soon as they part ways.
For example, there are countless cultivators seeking overnight wealth just like the initial He Zhenghao, trying all sorts of "investment" methods. But eventually, they end up losing everything. They swear at the time that they won't be so foolish again, but as soon as they accumulate wealth, they can't resist the temptation and dive in again, only to meet the same fate.
Furthermore, there are quite a number of cultivators who, after trying cultivation, feel that with their own talent and cultivation speed, they will never achieve greatness in this lifetime. So they give up their lofty ambitions and just do the most basic and safe tasks, earning enough to survive in the Tianxuan mirror and then settling in permanently. Since there are no disasters or worries in the Tianxuan mirror space, they live there carefree without any desires.
...
Unconsciously, Li Fan's mentality also underwent a subtle change as he watched the different lives of different cultivators.
