Chapter 1153 Immortal Heart Falls to The World
It was not Li Fan's intention to cover up the figure of that person.
It was just that the appearance of the mysterious figure at the bottom of the roaring abyss was too powerful. The environment at the bottom of the abyss, which was originally not very stable, simply could not accommodate the existence of such a realm.
As a result, when looked at from the outside, everything appeared blurry.
However, judging from the aura inadvertently revealed by that figure, Li Fan was more than half certain that the person was the revered Tianzun.
"But it's a little different from the impression of the old man with a vicissitudes of life, he seems younger. What's going on with that?" Li Fan fell into contemplation.
At this time, Shang Shaojun also snapped out of his thoughts and said, "I know a way to invite Tianzun back, but just relying on a vague and unclear image..."
"It's not enough. We need more evidence."
"Even with just us alone, we cannot directly present the evidence we collected to him. It's incredibly difficult to convince him."
Li Fan could sense Shang Shaojun's apprehension and responded with a smile, "There's no need to be overly pessimistic, Shaojun. The two of us are indeed at a disadvantage. But in the vast Xuanhuang Realm, we will eventually find like-minded individuals."
"We can collect evidence while searching for reliable people to strengthen ourselves," Li Fan said, implying that he intended to accompany Shang Shaojun.
"But the roaring abyss..." Shang Shaojun still had some hesitations.
Li Fan immediately advised him, "If the skin is not preserved, where can the hair be attached? If the entire Xuanhuang Realm falls into a crisis, even if you suppress the abyss here and ensure safety, what's the use?"
"Besides, I have thought of a way to suppress the abyssal demon sound even if you are traveling, to achieve a win-win situation."
As they spoke, they had returned to the entrance of the abyss.
Li Fan's eyes narrowed, and a giant sword made up of thousands of different sword lights appeared in the abyss.
With a flick of his finger, the giant sword flew gracefully with Li Fan's movement.
Consequently, one after another continuous dark red silk threads were cut off.
Without the constraints of the original world's rules, these threads should have floated and dissipated in disorder. However, under Li Fan's deft movements, they slowly gathered together.
Quietly weaving into a giant red net!
Seeing this scene, Shang Shaojun couldn't help but be slightly amazed.
Although not as shocking as the mysterious figure manipulating the broken world rules with ease, the effortless creation of a rule net was enough to illustrate that Li Fan's accomplishments in Dao were far beyond ordinary people's reach.
"The reason why it's difficult to defend against the demon tide of sound is the conflict between the broken world and the rules of the Xuanhuang Realm. It all converges in this narrow strip, too drastic without any buffer. So, I slightly changed the spatial structure here to delay the fusion of rules as much as possible..."
"In fact, the mysterious figure can easily conceal his traces and not be discovered. But he didn't do that. Perhaps it's also a kind of self-confidence," Li Fan shook his head slightly.
"With the cushioning of this rule net, the power of the demon tide of sound eruption is expected to be weakened by half."
As Li Fan spoke, he gently pinched and transformed the giant sword in the abyss back into thousands of sword lights.
Countless sword shadows, according to a certain pattern, formed a formation like flying dragons, faintly forming a vortex in the center.
The dark red remnants overflowed from the rule net outside, and were occasionally absorbed into the formation.
"This formation, with the intent to destroy everything, shatters the accumulated broken rules of the abyss, and can prolong the period of the demon tide eruption by more than twice."
"Shaojun, you can command the sword cultivators from the Qingxuan Army to come here. They can comprehend the intent within the formation and help charge the formation..."
Li Fan calmly presented the solution to the Qingxuan Army's concerns about the demon tide of sound.
Shang Shaojun was speechless as he watched the formation and net.
He had been referred to as a genius since childhood.
But in front of Li Fan...
"Truly, there's always someone better, and I have been shallow before."
With his worries resolved, Shang Shaojun naturally had no reason to refuse to accompany Li Fan.
The two of them returned to the Eternal Immortal Fort and announced the temporary suppression of the demon tide of sound, which led to the Qingxuan Army's thunderous cheers.
Then, Shang Shaojun gathered his trusted aides and passed down the method of controlling the "Annihilation Sound Sword Formation" as designated by Li Fan.
With everything settled, before leaving, Shang Shaojun called for Yan Huan to meet him alone.
"Please rest assured, Shaojun, the method derived by Yan Fajue has been very effective. Those brothers who occasionally lost consciousness before rarely experience such episodes now," Yan Huan respectfully replied as he bowed.
...
During their conversation, Li Fan learned about Yan Huan's urgency and the reason for using a precious shrine jade to have Yan Fajue derive the method.
The Qingxuan Army had been stationed outside the roaring abyss for many years and had been subtly influenced by the demon tide of sound. Some of them would become mentally unstable, and some would even resort to crazy behavior of turning their blades against their comrades.
The number of those affected was low in the past, making it relatively easy to handle.
But with the passage of time, nearly one-fifth of the Qingxuan Army in the Xuanhuang Realm had been infected with this strange ailment.
Shortly before Li Fan arrived, there had been a large-scale outbreak within the army.
The casualties were heavy.
The crucial point was that they did not die from the demon tide of sound, but rather at the hands of their own brothers, which was particularly difficult to accept.
The morale of the Qingxuan Army was low, and their military morale was in disarray.
Unable to handle the situation, Shang Shaojun had no choice but to use his hard-earned shrine jade to ask Yan Fajue to resolve the matter.
"The 'Heart-Refining Demonic-Defying Technique,' when practiced by an individual, can help strengthen the minds of others and dispel evil thoughts from their minds. Although it can only address the concerns of one person at a time and is somewhat slow, it is indeed very effective, and the recovered soldiers seem to have developed some resistance to the demon tide," Shang Shaojun explained to Li Fan.
"How does this Heart-Refining Demonic-Defying Technique compare to my secret technique that you passed on to me?" Li Fan asked.
Shang Shaojun was momentarily startled, and then blurted out, "It's far from comparable!"
"In that case, why don't you pass on the 'Immortal Heart Curse' to others? To prevent them from suffering from the harassment of the demon tide," Li Fan said with a compassionate expression.
Upon hearing this, Shang Shaojun's eyes widened and his heart trembled.
"The Immortal Heart Curse..."
He finally learned the name of that supreme secret technique, and the words "Immortal Heart" made him ponder deeply.
Surprised by Li Fan's generosity, Shang Shaojun felt a bit reluctant to unconditionally pass on such a secret technique to everyone.
