Chapter 1174 The Heavenly Lord Suddenly Sends a Message
"Shaojun, is this first Jinglun from the era?"
On the way to Tian Shu Prefecture of the Wanxian Alliance, Li Fan, the Holy Embryo, asked this question that he had been suspicious of for a long time.
Shang Shaojun paused, seeming unsurprised that Li Fan was aware of the Wanxian Alliance's secrets related to the era.
He answered in a low voice, "Yes, and no."
"As far as I know, the Alliance did indeed cultivate a group of dead warriors from the era. But those people are ultimately not born and raised in the Xuanhuang Realm, lacking a bit of spirituality."
"Although they can exhibit astonishing talent during the era simulation process, their actual performance in the Xuanhuang Realm falls short. They are suitable as cannon fodder, but not fit for important tasks," Shang Shaojun shook his head slightly.
"However, later on, the Alliance found an improvement. Brother Li, do you know that each law-transmitting practitioner has their own exclusive small world?"
Li Fan replied, "I have heard something about it."
"Each law-transmitting practitioner allocates a part of their own small world to collectively form a 'Honghuang Great World.' It is said to be a truly brutal and chaotic world, where every hundred years, a thorough cleansing of the living beings takes place. Only those praised by the collective law-transmitting practitioners during the hundred years can be spared."
"Brother Li, you need to understand that the beings in the 'Honghuang Great World' are either carefully selected consciousness from the era, or the peerless geniuses from the worlds of the law-transmitting practitioners. To stand out in such an environment...their abilities are beyond imagination."
Shang Shaojun spoke with a serious tone, "The origin of the first Jinglun is just like this."
"From the era to the 'Honghuang Great World.' The first Jinglun has stepped out little by little and eventually gained the recognition of the law-transmitting practitioners, using the treasures left by the Heavenly Lord to reshape his body. Because of the deep trust, he was even allowed the special privilege of not having to erase his previous experiences and memories. Although he currently doesn't hold any specific position in the Alliance, no one dares to underestimate him."
"In this case, this first Jinglun is truly quite legendary," Li Fan sighed after hearing Shang Shaojun's introduction.
But then he expressed some doubt, "Should we just visit such a figure like this? Shaojun, aren't you afraid of being captured and brought directly before the law-transmitting practitioners by him?"
Shang Shaojun laughed heartily, "Brother Li, you worry too much. Not to mention, I and the first Jinglun once took risks together and have a good relationship. The reason why the first Jinglun is deeply trusted by the law-transmitting practitioners is because since his creation, his soul has been permanently marked with loyalty to the Alliance. The more experiences he has and the stronger his abilities, the deeper this mark becomes."
"He himself doesn't care. Instead, he sees it as a great honor. Everything we do is also for the Wanxian Alliance, isn't it? If he knew that there are many hidden conspiracies within the Alliance, he would definitely not ignore it. With his personality, he might even come to verify it himself."
Shang Shaojun was full of confidence.
However, things did not go as smoothly as they had hoped.
"What? The first Jinglun is not here?"
"We had already made an appointment!"
Outside the Jinglun Mansion, Shang Shaojun and Li Fan were intercepted.
Shang Shaojun's face turned ugly, and the pressure of the combined Daoist aura was overwhelming.
Although the two guards at the door looked a bit pale, they remained calm and explained, "Forgive us, sir. Our master received an urgent order from the Alliance and had to leave in a hurry. It was so urgent that there was no time to inform anyone..."
Shang Shaojun tried to contact the first Jinglun again using a communication charm, but there was no response.
He exchanged a glance with Li Fan, knowing that forcing the issue was futile, and he could only snort and let it go for now.
"It seems that the first Jinglun didn't intentionally avoid us, but there is indeed an urgent matter," Li Fan whispered.
"Yes. I know the first Jinglun's personality and he wouldn't make excuses. I just don't know what's happening within the Alliance, and if the first Jinglun was urgently called, it must be a big deal," Shang Shaojun murmured.
With their first target coming up empty, the two decided to change course and go find Ji Hongdao in Tianyu Prefecture.
But to their surprise, Ji Hongdao had also been reassigned.
The two looked at each other and decided to temporarily suspend their search.
"Something is not right. Let me inquire about this," Shang Shaojun frowned.
Meanwhile, Li Fan's spiritual division, hidden in the Infinite Mirror, had already taken action without making a sound.
He stealthily stole a Tianxuan small mirror from the Sun family, using the Infinite Mirror to gather information from it.
The Tianxuan mirror had indeed already known about the turmoil within the Alliance.
However, the result surprised Li Fan.
"The law-transmitting Heavenly Lord has sent a message, indicating that there may be some disturbance in the Xuanhuang Realm, and the Alliance needs to be prepared in advance."
"This...?"
"Since the creation of the Wanxian Alliance, the law-transmitting Heavenly Lord has only taken the initiative to send a message a few times. The law-transmitting practitioners are very concerned about this..."
After disconnecting from the Infinite Mirror, and after soothing him a bit, Li Fan fell into contemplation.
He was not sure if this event of the "Heavenly Lord sending a message" had occurred in previous reincarnations.
But he was certain that there had been no such disturbance in the Xuanhuang Realm in any of the many worlds he had experienced.
"The fact that the law-transmitting Heavenly Lord sent a message specifically to explain this impending disturbance indicates that it cannot be minor. If caught off guard and unprepared, it might cause widespread panic."
"But the fact that the Heavenly Lord only sent a message and did not return in person also indicates that this disturbance will not cause a destructive blow to the Xuanhuang Realm..."
"The predicted disturbance by the Heavenly Lord is about a month from now. By then, we will know if this is a unique event in this world."
...
On Shang Shaojun's side, he also found out the results.
It was not as detailed as what was gathered from the Tianxuan mirror, but it was close enough.
"The entire Wanxian Alliance, from top to bottom, has been mobilized. I believe the relevant orders will soon reach the Eternal Immortal Stronghold..."
"Brother Li, what do you think?"
After a moment of contemplation, Li Fan said, "What we want to accomplish is not a matter of the moment. Since the entire Xuanhuang Realm may be facing a crisis soon, it's best to prepare for this first."
"The Green Xuan Army cannot be without a leader, and there might be movements in the depths of the Abyss. Let us return to the Eternal Immortal Stronghold and observe the situation."
Li Fan's suggestion was agreed upon by Shang Shaojun.
The two then hastily ended their journey and returned to the Broken Palm Immortal City.
Looking into the distance at the peaceful and profound Abyss, Li Fan's mind recalled the figure that had appeared at the bottom of the Abyss.
"Perhaps, the special nature of this world is related to my actions?"
Li Fan furrowed his brow, feeling puzzled.
There is one more chapter around the time of 12:30.
