Chapter 1016 Seal Command to Draw Foundation
Pretending to be nonchalant, they put away the nine disintegration discs.
Li Fan inquired about the cooperation between Mo Ru Bin and Cang, the controller of the mirror.
"Cang, this guy, is really quite interesting. If you hadn't mentioned it earlier, I wouldn't have realized that he had already become a slave to the Xuantian Mirror," Mo Ru Bin shook his head slightly.
"But with his secret cooperation, the plan to persuade the Wanxian Alliance to build the grand array and completely control the Xuantian Mirror has proceeded much more smoothly."
"But the most crucial thing still depends on you, Brother Xingwang. Will you be able to help the Xuan Mirror break free from the prohibition of the Transcendent Master of Transmission...?" Mo Ru Bin asked with a hint of doubt.
Li Fan didn't immediately promise.
Instead, after some silent contemplation, he slowly said, "It should be fine. The little thing you gave me just now seems to be much stronger than the previous Lifeless Array Crown."
"But to be on the safe side, if possible, you should try to gather more information about the prohibition left by the Transcendent Master of Transmission."
Mo Ru Bin agreed immediately, understanding the reasoning.
"By the way, I recently encountered something that you might find interesting," they exchanged some details to be mindful of in the future execution of the plan. Before parting, Mo Ru Bin suddenly said.
"Oh?" Li Fan paused.
"Didn't you release millions of spirit demons earlier, occupying many cultivators' bodies and causing chaos?" Mo Ru Bin eagerly described.
"Huh?" Li Fan looked confused, as if he had completely forgotten about it.
It was only after Mo Ru Bin's explanation that he pretended to remember.
"These cultivators' consciousness has been destroyed, leaving only their bodies. But it involves the operation of the Floating Starry Sky Array, so they couldn't be executed directly. Therefore, these people were all detained."
"Our original plan was to keep these cultivators' bodies alive forever, while their consciousness disappeared. But later, after some discussion, we thought that the quantity of millions was too much. After all, many of them are cultivators above the Yuan Ying realm. As long as they are alive, they will occupy resources such as caves and life transformation. It means that the normal number of cultivators in the Xuanhuang Realm will forever be reduced."
"So after careful consideration, we decided to keep only five hundred thousand of them sealed forever."
"As for the remaining five hundred thousand..." At this crucial point, Mo Ru Bin paused slightly.
"All killed? No, I didn't sense any tremor in the Xuanhuang Realm," Li Fan also reacted very cooperatively.
Mo Ru Bin's eyes showed a trace of a curious look, "The Wanxian Alliance actually has a technique to extract the caves, life transformations, and even the essence of the heavens and earth from a cultivator's body and return it to the world!"
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Li Fan's eyes lit up, "How is it different from returning to the heavens naturally after a cultivator falls?"
Mo Ru Bin explained, "After a cultivator dies and returns to the heavens, it may take many years for them to be reborn in the world. And during this time, those caves and the essence of the heavens and earth will also undergo corresponding changes in the process of the world's operation."
"But the technique called 'Seal Command' by the Wanxian Alliance is different. In no more than half a day, the resources that the cultivator has consumed will be directly extracted and returned to the world, then sealed in the Xuanhuang world."
"However, although it is returning to the heavens, it is actually different from natural evolution. The most critical point is that the Wanxian Alliance has prepared a place to store these extracted resources."
Mo Ru Bin's tone showed some astonishment, apparently impressed by this ingenious idea, "This place is located in the white mist at the border of the central four states of the Immortal Alliance, almost connected to the Xuanhuang Realm. It still belongs to the control of the Xuanhuang Realm, but after transformation, the Immortal Alliance can obtain greater control rights."
"Are you saying that these extracted resources can be reactivated at any time?" Li Fan thought for a moment and then looked slightly surprised.
Because the implications behind this were quite frightening.
"Yes. In other words, as long as the Wanxian Alliance is willing, they can quickly use these resources to create a new group of cultivators. However, this is not the main point. The Wanxian Alliance has many other ways to accomplish the same thing."
"The most crucial thing is that the Wanxian Alliance can continue to expand this realm. Then, slowly gather the parts of the resources that the cultivators have consumed back within it." Mo Ru Bin's depiction of the scene was rather chilling.
"Think about the consequences of this successful execution. In the future, I'm afraid even cultivating immortality will require the permission of the Wanxian Alliance. The Wanxian Alliance won't even need ordinary cultivators to maintain the survival of the Xuanhuang Realm. Most likely, they will convert a large number of cultivators into ordinary people..."
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
"The Wanxian Alliance actually has this kind of means," Li Fan's expression also darkened.
"Hehe, Brother, there's no need to worry too much. Under the insistence of the Transcendents and the opinions of more than half of the Transcendents, the use of this 'Seal Command' technique has been strictly limited. After all, it is still too dangerous. If it is not well controlled, it may lead to a monopoly of cultivation in the future." Mo Ru Bin hastened to reassure.
"In my opinion, the Transcendents are still good. They truly consider the welfare of the world's cultivators. As for those Transcendents who oppose, I think most of them are probably concerned about the existence of the Five Elders. After all, if the number of cultivators is truly too small, and they have a full-scale war with the Five Elders, only the combat power provided by the Illusionary True Sage would probably not be a match for them," Mo Ru Bin analyzed.
"As for the one who developed the 'Seal Command' technique... Transcendent Zheng, he is very dissatisfied with the decision of the Transcendent Council. This guy has been in power for too long and already thinks that the world's cultivators have no need to exist, and they should all become ordinary people like pigs and dogs. Haha..."
"But he relies on the authority of the Transcendents. If I encounter Transcendent Zheng..." a mysterious light flashed in Li Fan's eyes.
"Brother, you must not be careless. Transcendent Zheng is actually quite capable. After all, he was able to research such an evil technique as 'Seal Command'..." Mo Ru Bin reminded solemnly, "You haven't seen the miserable state of those cultivators when they were sealed."
"I have some experience, but even I found it unbearable. And that's when they were already in a state of ignorance. If their divine consciousness is still intact and 'Seal Command' is executed on them..."
"It's probably worse than all the tortures in history combined!"
Mo Ru Bin sighed and concluded.
