Chapter 1080 True Immortal's Power of Boundary Split
Seeing Lu Ya, who was convinced of his own conclusion, Xu Ke hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said, "I have heard people say that sometimes even if you see it with your own eyes, it may not necessarily be the truth of the matter."
"And, to judge a person's character, don't look at what he says, but look at what he does."
"Although I don't know what the situation is in that basement, Mr. Bai has always been especially good to us. Without his help, we might have starved to death long ago. So, I'm always willing to believe that Mr. Bai is really a good person."
Xu Ke spoke slowly as he organized his thoughts. It took quite a while for him to finish his eloquent speech.
Lu Ya smiled and patted Xu Ke's head, "You little guy, after reading a few books, you start lecturing me? And with a complete set of principles too."
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't understand the situation. I know what's going on. It's just that..." There was a hint of heaviness in Lu Ya's eyes as the enigmatic and unusual faceless statue reappeared in his mind.
Afterwards, Lu Ya chatted with Xu Ke for a while before hastily leaving upon receiving a message.
"How did I do, Master Xuan Niao?" It was only then that Xu Ke claimed credit to Li Fan in his mind.
"You're at an average level. You need to work harder in the future," Li Fan responded in a very matter-of-fact manner, leaving Xu Ke feeling a bit disheartened.
"It seems that the remaining power of the faceless true immortal in this era is much stronger than it will be thousands of years later. Just by meeting him once, Lu Ya has already been affected by the aura and fallen into the true immortal's trap, making it difficult to escape."
As the representative of the modern-day faceless true immortal, Xuan Huang, perhaps no one in the world today understands His power and nature better than Li Fan.
In the illusions he experienced earlier, Li Fan was not qualified to perceive this. But now, he could see at a glance that the fundamental reason why Lu Ya's attitude towards Mr. Bai had changed so drastically was due to the influence of the faceless true immortal statue.
Living beings have an instinctive fear of unknown powerful beings.
Just like a butterfly caught in a spider's web, unable to escape, even though it hasn't seen the predator's arrival, it has a sense of its future fate and is filled with anxiety.
This was the state Lu Ya was in now.
However, he subconsciously linked the faceless true immortal statue with Mr. Bai. Instead of fleeing or avoiding Mr. Bai, it was more like he was avoiding the control of the faceless true immortal.
It was a pity that, just like the real Li Fan, ordinary methods were useless.
As for whether Mr. Bai has any connection with the faceless true immortal...
Li Fan did not sense any aura of the faceless true immortal from Mr. Bai just now, but it's also possible that His strength was too strong and His concealment was too good.
While pondering this, Li Fan saw Xu Ke, who was still feeling dejected, and then ruffled his hair, "Your character still needs strengthening. If you can't handle this kind of setback, how are you going to save the world with me in the future?"
"Master Xuan Niao, I'm not even ten years old yet. Can I really be relied on to save the world?" Xu Ke said with a sad face.
"Who said you were fated to be with me," Li Fan said with great emphasis.
"Alright, prepare yourself. Next, the Beasts Sect should have some tasks for you," Li Fan predicted again.
After many accurate predictions, Xu Ke had become very trusting of Li Fan. As expected, this time Li Fan's prediction was also correct.
Three days later, Lu Ya brought Xu Ke to a small wooden house outside the Beast Sect's Demonic Tower.
On the table in the wooden house, there was a wooden sculpture and a wooden box.
"This wooden sculpture is a gift from Mr. Bai for you," Lu Ya said with a complicated expression.
During these three days, something seemed to have happened to him. He became much more polite in his words towards Mr. Bai, but Li Fan keenly felt that the influence of the faceless true immortal seemed to have deepened on him.
"Wow!" Xu Ke hadn't realized this point yet, and at the moment, he ran excitedly to the table and grabbed the wooden sculpture.
"Huh? This looks like me?!" Xu Ke carefully examined the wooden sculpture, pleasantly surprised.
Not caring about the use of the wooden sculpture, as long as it was a gift from Mr. Bai, Xu Ke was very satisfied. He had originally planned to carefully keep it, but after hearing Li Fan's message, he hid it in his chest first.
"This wooden sculpture is really something good," Li Fan stared at it intently, sensing the laws and power of the universe condensing within it.
When Mr. Bai made a move, it naturally couldn't be an ordinary item.
This little wooden sculpture of Xu Ke represented resistance.
As long as it didn't exceed the limit of the wooden sculpture's endurance, any attack would be absorbed and then rebounded.
This was quite similar to how the wooden sword revealed the power of the heavens after Shaofeng comprehended it.
"Even a full-powered strike from someone at the Harmonious Dao Realm would be perfectly rebounded by this wooden sculpture. Although the number of times is limited, it's definitely a life-saving weapon," Li Fan marveled at Mr. Bai's generosity.
As expected, Xu Ke received the task to go to South Sea Sacred Beast Mountain and deliver the red wooden box to Emperor Yisou.
"The head of Emperor El, known as the DiEl, is in this wooden box. If everything goes according to plan, it should have been slain by Mr. Bai himself. Emperor El was wandering outside, causing trouble and not returning to the demon tribe. Although Mr. Bai seemed to have killed him, He actually returned him to Emperor Yi."
"Using this favor to exchange for the method to cultivate the Boundary Splitting Whale, capable of reproducing in the void and devouring the sky."
Li Fan recounted the reasons for this.
"Mr. Bai is the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, yet He still cannot grasp the specific evolutionary direction of the beast, and still needs to find Emperor Yi's beast."
"It seems that the beasts in the Xuan Huang Realm may not be native, but rather from outside."
"Emperor Yi has realized that a great disaster is looming in the Xuan Huang Realm and there is seemingly no way to escape from it. So, He wants to split the boundary and leave..."
Li Fan saw the towering white mountain, which seemed to be the end of the world, in front of his eyes.
"According to Emperor Yi, South Sea Mountain is the horizon of the heavens and the corner of the sea, the end of the world."
"Countless free energies in the Xuan Huang Realm converge here. If they were to be ignited by a special method, an extremely terrifying power, close to that of a true immortal, would erupt in an instant."
"This could allow them to cross the high wall and leave the Dark Sea of Stars."
A thousand years later in the modern world, South Sea Mountain had become a great vortex of the boundary. The world's wound had not been repaired for thousands of years, indicating how terrifying the energy fluctuations during the boundary split at South Sea Mountain were.
"The principle is the same as the heavenly sword of the Heaven Sword Sect's boundary-breaking divine weapon. It's just that they're all just theoretical," He sighed. "Whether they succeeded or failed, whether they successfully escaped to the Dark Sea of Stars, or have turned into nothingness..."
"No one knows."
