Chapter 1040 The Secret of the Book of Crossing Disaster
In the eerie hall, several fine threads crisscrossed in the empty space.
One after another, what seemed to be completely identical but with subtly different facial expressions paper figures were neatly suspended on these threads.
The passage of time had caused these paper figures to become as if faded, exhibiting a bleak and pale yellow color.
As Li Fan suddenly intruded, countless paper figures began to sway eerily without any wind.
At that moment, Li Fan felt that all the paper figures had their gaze focused on him.
It was as if his soul was suddenly bound by chains, making him lose the ability to move.
Fortunately, the swaying paper figures gradually returned to stillness.
The pressure on Li Fan also gradually diminished.
After returning to normal, Li Fan chose not to act recklessly. Because he faintly sensed that there was still a pair of eyes in the hall watching him.
Following his senses, Li Fan saw something seemingly concealed in the shadows ahead.
It was like a poisonous snake, staring at its prey and ready to strike at any moment.
Slowly approaching.
Li Fan remained still and silently waited for the shadow to get closer.
Seeing all the subtle changes around him, Li Fan secretly smiled.
During this period of observation, he had already glimpsed the secret within this.
The closeness of the shadow and the pressure it brought were all just illusions.
The purpose was to compel whoever entered the hall to launch an attack on the shadow.
And the true identity of the shadow was...
Suddenly, the view in Li Fan's eyes changed, and the shadow dissipated, revealing its true identity: a rope riddled with holes.
Its emanating aura was extremely familiar to Li Fan.
It was the restriction left by the Primogenitor of Transmission!
"The Crossing Disaster Sect is indeed extraordinary, even the restrictions left by the Primogenitor have been eroded to this extent."
"No wonder, I encountered the tests of the Crossing Disaster Sect on the mountain path and in the small courtyard."
Li Fan narrowed his eyes and observed the numerous paper figures in the hall.
At this moment, the paper figures all seemed to be wearing eerie smiles.
Then they transformed into innocent expressions.
"From the brief glimpse just now, it seems that all these paper figures are made by the disciples of the Crossing Disaster Sect?"
"But there are just too many paper figures."
Thinking to himself, Li Fan released a bit of spiritual power, trying to remove the paper figures hanging on the threads.
As expected, the spiritual power was met with emptiness.
The paper figures in the hall seemed to be completely illusory, without any tangible form.
Li Fan then extended a strand of divine consciousness to try to make contact with the paper figures. But he still couldn't touch them.
"It seems that one must use the secret technique of the Crossing Disaster Sect to manipulate these paper figures."
"Should I destroy this restriction?"
Li Fan's eyes flashed and his mind changed in a moment.
"I won't destroy it, I will repair this restriction instead!"
The style of the Crossing Disaster Sect truly disgusted Li Fan. Like a cowardly turtle, they chose to merge with the Xuanhuang world in order to avoid disasters.
They relied solely on possible saviors.
Although effective, it did not match the dignity that an immortal sect should possess.
More importantly, Li Fan always felt uncomfortable within the Crossing Disaster Sect. It was as if he was naturally incompatible, making him feel uneasy and uncomfortable at all times.
While his soul stood still in the hall, his main body outside the Crossing Disaster Sect began to reverse-engineer and decipher the formation using the Dissolution Disc.
With the wisdom gained from the experience, he successfully deduced a formation for repairing the restriction left by the Primogenitor within just seven days.
Li Fan in the eerie hall suddenly took action.
"Creation and destruction, two different paths leading to the same result. If I can successfully repair the Primogenitor's restriction, it means that there is no problem in deducing it. I can also destroy it."
It was like he had gained a colorful pen and was drawing in the air.
Correspondingly, the rope at the center of the hall, which had previously appeared rotten, slowly came back to life.
Light once again enveloped the eerie hall.
But Li Fan's actions seemed to enrage the countless paper figures hanging in the hall.
They began to shake violently once again, their expressions turning angry.
They stared at Li Fan intently.
In an instant, a ghostly wail echoed in Li Fan's ears.
"Noisy!"
Li Fan shouted, completely unmoved. Instead, he accelerated the process of repair.
The paper figures' angry shouts couldn't stop him at all.
The rope representing the restriction reappeared from the center of the hall, extending all the way to the door.
Boom!
After a violent tremor, Li Fan returned to the outside of the hall.
It was still the empty courtyard, but the hall had shrunk to the size of a toy.
It was now fixed in the central open space by the restriction rope.
It was at this moment that Li Fan saw the traces of the destroyed restrictions hidden in the dark.
The hall continued to shake, attempting to struggle.
Li Fan's eyes turned cold as he continued his repair work.
After completing the repair of the restriction in the courtyard, the scene changed, and Li Fan returned to the stone steps at the foot of the mountain.
The restrictions here were the most complex.
Fortunately, most of them were still fairly intact. The only missing part was the mountain path caused by the erosion of the Crossing Disaster Sect's power.
After Li Fan repaired the damaged restrictions, the mountain path naturally disappeared without a trace.
The scene in front of him shrank once again.
The so-called Crossing Disaster Sect finally revealed its true face.
Under layers of sealed restrictions, a book unfolded from the center.
The book had no words, only relief-like mountain ranges and images of cultivators.
As the book naturally turned its pages, the images within it also changed.
But all of them were shadowy silhouettes, looking bizarre and eerie.
Studying the book in front of him carefully, Li Fan seemed to be lost in thought.
"The Crossing Disaster Sect was indeed wiped out by the Primogenitor back then."
"But that's exactly what they sought. Seeking life in death, the entire sect shifted to a different mode of existence."
"This book..."
"It's somewhat reminiscent of the Creation Stone Tablets. However, while the Creation Stone Tablets record all things in the Xuanhuang world, the present book of the Crossing Disaster Sect only contains internal matters of the sect."
"It was supposed to be that way. However, the members of the Crossing Disaster Sect have turned into paper figures, scattered throughout the Xuanhuang world. So, they can also use the eyes of these paper figures to peer into all things in the Xuanhuang world through this book of the Crossing Disaster Sect."
As fleeting images flipped through the pages, Li Fan occasionally caught sight of familiar scenes in the Xuanhuang world, silently pondering.
At this point, Li Fan's original purpose had already been achieved.
He had confirmed that the formation for the Primogenitor's restriction was without issues.
But as he looked at the Crossing Disaster Book, which had been suppressed by the power of the Primogenitor's restriction, Li Fan's thoughts began to stir once again.
