Chapter 199 The New Law is Unstoppable

Evidently, no one else could repeatedly log into the same location like Li Fan.

However, one Golden Core cultivator was brimming with self-satisfaction, boasting about his own experiences.

During one of his appearances in the Fallen Immortal Realm, he possessed the body of a young boy.

When this boy was young, his Family was exterminated.

His entire Family died tragically, with only the boy escaping.

The boy struggled to survive while investigating the mastermind behind the massacre.

By chance, one day the boy encountered two Daoist Cultivators fighting to the death in the mountains, ultimately perishing together.

From the corpses of these two Daoist Cultivators, the boy found some Medicinal Pills and two Cultivation Techniques.

He eventually embarked on the Immortal Path.

Just as he had achieved success in Cultivation, reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, and found clues to the massacre, he was coincidentally possessed by this Golden Core cultivator.

This Golden Core cultivator followed the clues and, within the limited time of ten-odd days, successfully found the culprits from back then.

He similarly wiped out their entire Family as an act of revenge.

After the Golden Core cultivator left the Fallen Immortal Realm, he successfully brought back a Cultivation Technique.

He sold it for a good price of thirty thousand contribution points.

Upon hearing this, everyone was filled with envy, praising his good fortune.

“Therefore, I believe one possible way to bring items out is through exchange.”

“For the boy to give me the Cultivation Technique, I had to fulfill his long-cherished wish.”

“His wish was to avenge the massacre of his Family, and I accomplished it. In exchange, he was naturally willing to give me the Cultivation Technique.”

This Golden Core cultivator, named Ji Xingwen, spoke eloquently.

Li Fan and the others listened, all wearing thoughtful expressions.

Having obtained the desired information, Li Fan waited for the Set Fish results to come out, noted the appearance of the top-prize fish, and then hurried back to Wanxian Island.

He Cultivated faster within the tianxuan mirror while waiting.

Ten-odd days later.

Li Fan inexplicably felt an intuition that he could enter the Fallen Immortal Realm again.

He immediately performed the ritual.

Without any surprises, it was still the same as the previous two times; he possessed Li Chen of the Zixiao Sect.

Li Fan followed the exact same procedure as last time.

It was as if he pressed a fast-forward button.

“Junior Brother, wait here; I’ll be back shortly!” Zhang Qianmo’s voice faded before he had even finished speaking, as he had already departed.

This time, Li Fan performed soul-searching on a different person.

His second attempt at the Purple Firmament Soul Observation Art felt somewhat more practiced.

However, it still consumed a significant amount of energy.

He browsed through this person’s past experiences one by one, but found nothing particularly special.

His encounter was largely similar to Liu Tu’s; he was also an ordinary Mortal.

He accidentally encountered someone teaching the Immortal Venerable’s New Law, and since then, he had embarked on the Immortal Path and joined the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

However, in his memories, the one who popularized the New Law among the Mortals was not that spirited young man who achieved Golden Core in ten years.

Instead, it was a woman in white, as beautiful as snow, with an exquisite face.

This woman’s Cultivation speed was even more outrageous.

It was said that in just twenty years, she had already achieved the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm.

“It seems there were quite a few Cultivators who personally witnessed the Immortal Venerable teaching the Dao and later helped spread the New Law.”

Li Fan casually tossed the soul-searched Cultivator, who was like a puddle of mud, onto the ground and looked towards the center of Ningyuan City.

Some time had passed, but the fight had not yet begun.

After a long while, Li Fan finally saw Zhang Qianmo emerge from the Drunken Immortal Restaurant, looking satisfied, and slowly walk towards the Rebirth Longevity Tree.

Li Fan also noticed that Zhang Qianmo had clearly set up a barrier outside the Drunken Immortal Restaurant.

He was likely worried that the subsequent battle with Song He Song would affect his old flame, Chixia.

“It seems Senior Brother Zhang is truly a devoted lover.”

“Perhaps, to bring back the Purple Firmament Soul Observation Art, I can start from this angle.”

Li Fan’s eyes flickered with an inexplicable light.

“Boom!”

A bolt of purple lightning, as thick as a water barrel, suddenly descended from the sky.

Song He Song’s screams immediately echoed throughout Ningyuan City.

Li Fan saw the All Souls Refine Divinity Formation within the city rapidly activate, extracting wisps of green vitality from the Mortals and sending them flying towards the direction of the two men’s intense battle.

“Zhang Qianmo, although you are an Inner Sect Disciple, you are only at the Foundation Establishment Cultivation! Do you truly think I’m afraid of you?!”

Song He Song’s voice, like muffled thunder, spread throughout the entire city.

A blood-colored bell instantly enveloped Zhang Qianmo.

Afterward, Li Fan saw Song He Song casually strike, and countless buildings instantly turned into ruins.

The trembling Mortals inside the buildings died without even a chance to scream.

From the bones of the Mortals, a large mass of blood-colored Evil Qi, almost materializing, surged forth, soaring into the sky and reaching Song He Song’s side.

Within the blood light, the faces of the recently deceased Mortals were clearly visible.

Countless faces rushed towards Zhang Qianmo, who was trapped within the large bell.

A moment later, Senior Brother Zhang fell into a dazed stillness.

“This All Souls Refine Divinity Formation is indeed extraordinary. This time, Zhang Qianmo took the initiative, but he was still trapped by the Formation.”

“It’s a pity that it requires Mortal lives as a medium; now it’s probably useless.”

Li Fan silently watched Song He Song wantonly harvest the lives of the Mortals in the city, turning them into means for his battle.

Within Ningyuan City, it instantly became devastated.

Who knows how many Mortals died at Song He Song’s hands.

Only the Drunken Immortal Restaurant, protected by the barrier Zhang Qianmo had set up, and Li Fan’s current location, remained safe.

As the Mortals in Ningyuan City continued to die, half of Zhang Qianmo’s head within the All Souls Refine Divinity Formation had already exploded.

But his vitality remained unceasing.

Song He Song’s expression changed, just as before.

But fear was quickly suppressed by greed.

Red flames scorched Zhang Qianmo, revealing the purple core within his body.

Song He Song finally noticed something amiss.

He repeatedly clapped his hands, killing all the remaining Mortals in Ningyuan City and summoning blood-colored faces to block the path.

He, however, fled far away to the rear.

He actually sensed something was wrong and ran away immediately.

Li Fan narrowed his eyes and threw Li Chen’s long spear Magical Artifact in the direction he fled.

At the same time, he activated the Purple Firmament Thunder Control True Art, and a bolt of Purple Firmament Divine Lightning struck Song He Song directly on the head.

The Divine Lightning hit him squarely, and Song He Song’s fleeing figure instantly froze.

The long spear, like a Dragon, brought with it wisps of purple lightning, arriving in an instant, about to pierce Song He Song’s body fiercely.

However, he was a Golden Core cultivator after all, and at the critical moment, he recovered from the stiffness.

He gripped the purple lightning spear tightly.

Lightning suddenly erupted from the long spear, and Song He Song subconsciously loosened his grip.

The long spear instantly broke free from his control and returned to Li Fan’s hand.

Song He Song looked down from above, glancing in Li Fan’s direction.

Although Li Fan was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, as a Golden Core cultivator, he had no intention of fighting at this moment.

He merely gave Li Fan a venomous glance and was about to transform into a blood-colored light and flee again.

“Junior Brother, well done!”

The purple core glowed brightly, and Zhang Qianmo’s Physical Body reappeared.

The light converged, forming his clothes.

He took a step, transforming into purple lightning, and blocked the blood-colored light.

Exactly like the previous scene, Zhang Qianmo grabbed Song He Song from within the blood-colored light.

“Traitors to the Sect shall die!”

Purple Firmament Divine Lightning descended from the sky, announcing Song He Song’s impending death.

A Golden Core cultivator died so easily in Zhang Qianmo’s hands.

As if casually slaughtering a chicken or dog, Zhang Qianmo’s face showed no emotional fluctuations.

He flew to Li Fan’s side, his aura completely contained.

“This matter is settled, Junior Brother. Let’s return to the Sect as soon as possible.”

“Bring these people along as evidence,” Zhang Qianmo said, pointing to the four Foundation Establishment cultivators who had been captured earlier.

As for Ningyuan City, now a vast ruin with countless casualties, he simply ignored it.

He summoned the Purple Firmament Flying Cloud, put the captured individuals on it, and flew high into the sky.

Just as he was about to leave, Li Fan suddenly knocked the captives unconscious and asked, “Senior Brother, what do you think of this New Law?”

Zhang Qianmo remained silent for a long time, then slowly said, “It’s a deviant path, not of the true lineage!”

Li Fan chuckled softly: “Senior Brother truly thinks so?”

Pointing to the several individuals lying haphazardly on the purple cloud, Li Fan’s tone was faint: “Senior Brother, look at these people. Not to mention compared to you and me, even compared to those Outer Sect Disciples and Utility Disciples within the Sect, they are far inferior.”

“Their Cultivation time is shorter than ours, yet now they are all at the Foundation Establishment Cultivation, just like me!”

Zhang Qianmo frowned: “Junior Brother, what exactly are you trying to say?”

Li Fan did not answer, but continued: “When the tens of thousands of Junior Brothers within the Sect who haven’t received true inheritances learn of the New Law’s existence, will they still be willing to be driven by the Sect, working diligently and without complaint on trivial tasks, only hoping to go further on the Immortal Path?”

“Now the Immortal Path is wide open, but it doesn’t lead to our Zixiao Sect.”

Li Fan pointed to the ruined Ningyuan City below and said: “Today, in Senior Brother’s battle with Song He Song, Mortals suffered immensely, with countless casualties.”

“After all, Immortals and Mortals are different; the power of Mortals is too weak. In the hands of us Daoist Cultivators, they have no power to resist at all.”

“But, Senior Brother, do you think they have no resentment at all?”

“Those Mortals who survived, those Mortals as weak as ants in this world, but numbering in the billions.”

“If they learn of the New Law’s existence, how will they choose?”

“Senior Brother’s Divine Might allows him to easily crush four or five Cultivators of the same Cultivation.”

“But if one-tenth of the Mortals in Ningyuan City today were all at the Foundation Establishment Stage, would Senior Brother still dare to be so reckless?”

Zhang Qianmo remained silent.

Li Fan’s gaze was burning, intently fixed on Zhang Qianmo: “Senior Brother’s Comprehension Ability far surpasses mine. Something I can understand, Senior Brother must have already figured out.”

“Junior Brother…” Zhang Qianmo was about to speak, but Li Fan directly interrupted him.

“The rise of the New Law is unstoppable. Those who follow it prosper, those who oppose it perish. Senior Brother, do you agree?” Li Fan pressed.

Although he also thought so in his heart, seeing his Junior Brother speak it so easily, Zhang Qianmo’s face couldn’t help but turn a little pale.

If it weren’t for the fact that this Junior Brother had never left the mountain since joining the Sect.

Zhang Qianmo would almost have believed that he had already embraced the New Law.

“Junior Brother, you must not speak rashly…” Zhang Qianmo advised.

“This matter…”

“The Sect elders will naturally make a judgment.”

Li Fan smiled slightly, no longer discussing the topic, but suddenly changed the subject: “Earlier in the mountains, I often heard Senior Brother lament that Miss Chixia couldn’t Cultivate because she had no Spiritual Root, and thus was unwilling to return to the Sect with you.”

“Now that Senior Brother already knows about the New Law, did you happen to tell Miss Chixia just now?”

Zhang Qianmo was cold and ruthless in killing enemies, but here, facing Li Fan’s questioning, he actually stammered and looked embarrassed.

“Senior Brother, Mortals are not like us Daoist Cultivators who can remain youthful forever.”

“One must know that youth fades easily, and beauty perishes quickly.”

“How much time do Mortals have to waste?”

“Does Senior Brother truly have the heart to watch her grow old day by day like this?”

“And then have no contact with you?”

Li Fan’s words poured out like a torrent, pressing Zhang Qianmo inch by inch, questioning him.

After a long while, as if after an intense ideological struggle, Zhang Qianmo finally let out a long sigh.

“Junior Brother, wait here; I’ll be back shortly!”

With that, he flew towards the Drunken Immortal Restaurant below.
