Chapter 1106 The Madness of Mortals Seeking Immortality
Collecting information about these children is naturally to find candidates to succeed Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Sovereign.
Now that Li Fan has already known all the answers to the tests. As long as he finds someone with a similar disposition and character, there is a great possibility of successfully inheriting the position.
There's no need to rush to complete it in this lifetime.
First, identify several suitable candidates, and in the next life, select them for special training.
While Li Fan was testing these children through the Illusory Dream Technique.
The grand scheme he arranged to disrupt the Xuanhuang Realm slowly unfolded.
First was a widespread rumor.
Ou Shangtian, who once caused a sensation and led almost all the practitioners of the Wanxian Alliance to hunt him down, possesses two extraordinary abilities: Kunqian Bone Hand and Book of Ten Thousand Deaths, because he came into contact with a true immortal relic when he was a child.
Kunqian Bone Hand can reverse the universe, allowing an item to return to a previous state in time.
Book of Ten Thousand Deaths can predict countless ways of dying. If used properly, it can turn bad luck into good and ward off evil.
The name of Ou Shangtian is almost forgotten by the practitioners of the alliance.
But as soon as these two terrifying abilities are mentioned, it instantly sparks the memory of the practitioners.
When Ou Shangtian's cultivation was not yet at the Yuanying stage, he managed to evade countless practitioners' pursuit for nearly half a year. He demonstrated the power of Kunqian Bone Hand and Book of Ten Thousand Deaths through his actions.
And these two powerful abilities were just byproducts of a true immortal relic?
Then what kind of fortune would it be to obtain this so-called true immortal relic in its entirety?
The moment people heard this rumor, almost all practitioners had this thought in their minds.
But talk of true immortals is elusive.
People only regarded it as legend and did not take it seriously.
However, strangely enough, as time passed, the rumor did not die down. Instead, it became more and more intense.
It was clear to the discerning eye that there were people behind the scenes stirring up trouble.
Just as they were about to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, something unexpected happened.
One evening, a graceful white figure suddenly appeared in the sky above Xuanhuang Realm.
With his appearance, the entire Xuanhuang Realm trembled slightly in an instant.
And all the practitioners who looked up and saw this figure couldn't help but feel an indescribable sensation in their hearts.
The figure only lasted for a few breaths before suddenly disappearing.
But combined with the previously widely spread rumors, almost all the practitioners instinctively thought of four words: "True Immortal Relic!"
The phenomenon that shrouded the entire sky and the slight tremor that followed the appearance of the white figure in the Xuanhuang Realm, these two things were irrefutable!
"Even if he is not a true immortal, he is definitely an extraordinary figure!"
Just as people were speculating about the true identity of the white figure.
In a deep mountain in Tianling Prefecture, endless black swamps suddenly surged out, wanting to swallow everything around them.
When the practitioners saw this black, viscous substance, they knew it was the creation of the world's soul, the Black Marsh.
Faced with this extinction crisis, the practitioners were not frightened but delighted. Instead of fleeing, they launched a desperate charge toward the Black Marsh.
Under the protection of the Great Power of the Heavenly Sovereign, everyone could die and be reborn, so there was nothing to fear.
On the contrary, if they could kill the World Soul, it would truly be an ascent to heaven!
Many practitioners held this view.
Under their desperate battle, the expansion of the Black Marsh was actually restrained.
Just as the practitioners were overjoyed, thinking that the Black Marsh had weakened. A dazzling figure suddenly flew out of the black marsh.
Before the crowd could react, it cut through the sky and disappeared without a trace.
And after the golden figure left, the raging Black Marsh inexplicably retreated underground.
"That is..."
"The True Immortal Relic?"
In the stunned crowd, someone suddenly shouted with trembling voice.
Boom!
After a moment of silence, the crowd exploded in an instant.
Because from the brief glimpse just now, that figure was indeed very similar to the one that appeared on the sky just a short while ago!
And, just by its aura, it was able to suppress the World Soul...
After a moment of bewilderment, the practitioners at the scene quickly reacted and chased after the disappearing golden figure.
Only a few practitioners, after hesitating for a moment, still launched an attack on the Black Marsh, which had returned and become even more savage and violent.
Unfortunately, the Black Marsh that returned to its lair was even more ferocious and brutal than before.
Seemingly, its strength had increased significantly.
Without exception, all these practitioners perished.
But even in the face of annihilation, it still couldn't stop the practitioners' greed.
After all, everyone could be resurrected!
So, the practitioners who rushed to their deaths kept coming.
...
The appearance of the Black Marsh and the True Immortal Relic quickly spread throughout the Wanxian Alliance.
The fact that it could provoke the rage of the World Soul and the gradually increasing attention from more and more practitioners to the golden figure, also gradually aroused the interest of the practitioners.
And next, wherever the True Immortal Relic appeared, the World Soul inexplicably manifested itself, seemingly to suppress the relic.
It was never known that there were so many World Souls hidden in the Xuanhuang Realm.
For a moment, the practitioners were shocked by this spectacle.
Almost every few days, news of a new World Soul's appearance could be heard.
And those practitioners who had been stuck at the realm of Nascent Soul for a long time were all a little crazy.
They couldn't sit still anymore and rushed off to hunt the World Souls they desired.
And more practitioners still focused their attention on the True Immortal Relic.
After a certain event, the desire of practitioners for the True Immortal Relic reached its peak.
A mortal named Zhang Haobo, after having the good fortune to touch the True Immortal Relic that suddenly appeared in front of him, instantly rose from an ordinary mortal to the golden core stage!
And the miraculous object that allowed him to form the foundation was a rib-shaped item!
Unfortunately, the True Immortal Relic only stayed by his side for a moment before vanishing and fleeing.
Otherwise, Zhang Haobo could have possibly advanced to the Nascent Soul stage in an instant!
After a thorough investigation by numerous practitioners into Zhang Haobo's background, the possibility of him being a fake was ruled out.
After all, the close to a hundred mortals who were beside him and witnessed the miracle had no issues with their memories!
"The True Immortal Relic should be looking for those with fate."
"Just like Ou Shangtian, it's the same for Zhang Haobo! But they didn't have enough luck, so they were not chosen by the True Immortal Relic in the end."
"However, if someone were to finally obtain it..."
