Chapter 1085 The Mystery of Ancient Immortal Tools
The so-called strong crossbow at the end is unable to pierce the Lu Gao.
Under the pressure of the Changsheng realm, Li Fan's sword is probably unable to even injure an ordinary mortal.
Not to mention causing harm to Mr. Bai.
However, not even a trace of a white mark was left behind.
But this sword ultimately pierced Mr. Bai.
Because Li Fan disregarded his own life.
Because of Mr. Bai's appreciation of talent and compassion.
As the saying goes, a gentleman can deceive with a square!
This sword is the answer that Li Fan has been contemplating for these years in the second act of the Meteorite Immortal Realm.
The first act tested benevolence.
The second act tests wisdom.
And this third act should test martial arts!
Mr. Bai suppressed the Heavenly Sword Sect with his sword. If he could defeat him, or gain his approval in the confrontation, he would likely pass the test of the third act.
And Li Fan has already done so now.
"I yield."
Although the process of burning his life was reversed by Mr. Bai, using the Sword of Destiny still severely injured Li Fan's vitality.
At this moment, his face was pale as if he could die at any moment.
He kept coughing and bowed to Mr. Bai.
Mr. Bai looked at Li Fan with a complex expression.
"Why?" he asked.
Li Fan said indifferently, "I am not like you. You always consider too much. But I, to achieve my goal, will stop at nothing! Even if it means sacrificing my own life for it!"
The surroundings of the Heavenly Sword Sect gradually faded away.
Only Mr. Bai's figure remained clear.
Li Fan continued, "So the things you can do, I may not be able to do."
"But the things you cannot do, I can possibly do."
Like a tongue twister, but Mr. Bai already understood what Li Fan meant.
"Sometimes, in order to survive, you have to be ruthless."
After saying this, Li Fan's body also slowly became transparent.
Finally, he disappeared completely.
Only Mr. Bai remained in this time and space.
He frowned, as if facing a very difficult decision.
After a while, he suddenly smiled.
"Right. I have too many concerns."
"Perhaps, someone like him can ultimately seize an opportunity..."
Mr. Bai's figure, along with his voice, gradually fell silent.
...
In the darkness, Li Fan didn't know how long he had waited.
A familiar feeling of dizziness came, and the scene in front of him instantly became bright again.
Looking around, he realized that he hadn't returned to the real world. Instead, he was in a new environment.
"My speculation is correct after all."
"Although it's somewhat disgraceful, I have finally defeated Mr. Bai and passed the test of martial arts."
"I don't ask about the process, only the results."
Li Fan felt somewhat joyful.
"Now let me see, what will the test of the fourth act be."
With this thought, countless pieces of information suddenly surged from Li Fan's mind.
His expression immediately froze.
"How could this be?"
Even with Li Fan's composure, he was still somewhat distracted.
He hurriedly used the Water Mirror technique and looked at his reflection in the mirror.
The flawless and peerless appearance made people feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze, inspiring genuine affection.
This face was so familiar to Li Fan. It was the face of Mr. Bai, with whom he had just competed not long ago.
"This fourth act, I actually directly possessed Mr. Bai's body?"
Li Fan was deeply shaken.
There was both surprise and vigilance in his heart.
The joy was that, by using Mr. Bai's body, he could experience being the Xuanhuang Great Celestial in advance, which would undoubtedly benefit him in any aspect of his cultivation in the future.
The vigilance was that the incident of Mr. Bai borrowing a body to be reborn might happen again.
After a moment, Li Fan calmed his mind and began to piece together the fragmented information in his mind.
Unfortunately, due to the nature of the test, Mr. Bai's memories in his mind were not complete.
There were only intermittent fragments and the "main tasks" involved in this test.
"At present, I have been officially recognized by the Heavenly Dao and have become the Xuanhuang Great Celestial."
"The mission is..."
"Find the immortal tools left in various places in the Xuanhuang Realm, and escape from the Xuanhuang Realm?"
Li Fan's expression suddenly became extremely strange.
It completely contradicted Mr. Bai's behavior as he knew it, to the extent that Li Fan had to confirm multiple times.
"Hmm? This isn't a test of the Meteorite Immortal Realm. It's..."
"At this time, it's the mission carried by Mr. Bai's body!"
After a while, Li Fan suddenly realized.
After becoming the Xuanhuang Great Celestial, Mr. Bai's consciousness was faintly urged by the Heavenly Dao consciousness of the Xuanhuang Realm.
Disaster was looming and inevitable.
It might be better to abandon the body of the world and leave early.
"The Xuanhuang Realm is no longer a good place, with demons causing chaos internally and the Immortal Ruins threatening from the outside."
"It might be better to cross the Immortal Wall and create a new world outside."
...
Li Fan furrowed his brows as he slowly pieced together the fragmented memories and information.
"The Immortal Wall is hard to cross. Even the Xuanhuang Great Celestial may not be strong enough."
"However, as long as the path of immortality is not completely severed, there are occasional immortal tools bestowed from the higher realms. Some of these immortal tools are still sealed in the sect's treasure vaults, while others are buried deep underground and unknown to anyone."
"But all of them are still under the control of the Xuanhuang Realm's Heavenly Dao consciousness."
"Just gather these immortal tools, use them as sacrifices, and even if they are not completely destroyed, they will be enough to unleash the power to cross the Immortal Wall."
An incongruent expression appeared on Li Fan's face.
"Immortal tools? At least ten immortal tools?"
According to the information transmitted by the Heavenly Dao consciousness, each of these immortal tools had powers no weaker than the Heavenly Xuan Mirror.
If I could collect all of them and make use of them...
Li Fan's mind suddenly surged.
After all, throughout so many cycles of life, apart from the Heavenly Xuan Mirror and the Fishing Pond, he had never encountered any other immortal tools.
So now, to suddenly learn about more than ten immortal tools, how could it not excite him!
"Wait, all of these immortal tools disappeared in the real history?"
But soon, Li Fan realized.
He instantly recalled a piece of ancient legend that he had collected earlier.
When the great calamity struck, due to the reasons of incompatible cultivation methods, the various sects were already in chaos.
The inexplicable loss of the immortal tools held by the sects further exacerbated the decline of the cultivation sects.
"Could it be that at that time, Mr. Bai quietly took away all of these inexplicably lost immortal tools?"
Li Fan's expression was somewhat strange.
He began to investigate the information about these immortal tools in his mind once again.
These immortal tools were all passed down from the higher realms when the path of immortality had not been completely severed.
At that time, the major sects in the Xuanhuang Realm were not the later Ten Immortal Sects, but had long since disappeared into the river of history.
Such as the Reincarnation Sect, the Wilderness God Sect, and so on.
The immortal tools they held were also divided among the Ten Immortal Sects.
However, since immortal tools have spirits, they cannot be used by those outside the direct line of the sect. So even if the Ten Immortal Sects grabbed them, they were practically unable to use them.
My brothers, don't give me the monthly ticket this month. The update this month has been terrible, and I feel ashamed. Please vote for "The Ring of Destiny."
