Chapter 205 Ancient World-Destroying War

As if to confirm Li Fan's words.

Three days later, Li Fan received a hush money payment.

Ten thousand Contribution Points, plus three medium-grade B-Rank merits.

It was to make Li Fan forget everything related to Zhou Qingang from then on and never mention it to anyone again.

Li Fan naturally had no objections.

He generously accepted the reward.

Ten thousand Contribution Points were not a small amount either.

More importantly, his permission Rank successfully rose to Yan-Shi, unlocking new privileges.

When searching for information in the Tianxuan Mirror, he could now view in advance relevant data that would originally require one's Realm to exceed his own by one level to see.

For example, some confidential information that only those in the Golden Core Stage were qualified to know—although Li Fan was currently at the Foundation Establishment Stage, because his permission Rank had reached Yan-Shi, he was qualified to view it in advance.

As usual, Li Fan searched for a Cultivation Technique that strengthened the ability of multitasking.

This time there was finally a result, but after carefully reading the introduction of the Cultivation Technique, Li Fan frowned, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

The Cultivation Technique was named "Thousands of Faces for One Person".

After successfully Cultivating it, it could indeed greatly enhance multi-process processing capabilities.

However, there was an unavoidable negative side effect: over time, it would form uncontrolled multiple personalities within the body.

It was equivalent to dissociative identity disorder.

Naturally, Li Fan did not want to Cultivate a Cultivation Technique and turn himself into a madman.

He had no choice but to give up helplessly.

In fact, regarding the method of multitasking, Li Fan already had someone he could consult in his heart.

It was none other than Jiao Xiuyuan, who practiced the Myriad Puppets Dao.

Jiao Xiuyuan's Puppet avatars were spread all over the Cultivation World, numbering in the thousands.

Yet every one of his Puppets was lifelike, with expressions, actions, and demeanors no different from real people.

When Li Fan met him the previous few times, he couldn't tell the difference at all.

To manipulate so many Puppets simultaneously without the slightest lag must require a special method.

It was just unknown whether it was due to the special Cultivation Technique of the [Myriad Puppets Dao] or if there were other methods.

Li Fan's Clone had always wanted to contact Jiao Xiuyuan to ask about it.

But he seemed not to have recovered from the huge loss of the Spirit Mist Grass; Qianli Hall was closed to visitors, and he did not respond.

Li Fan had no choice but to wait a bit longer.

With no gains from Cultivation Techniques, Li Fan tried his newly unlocked privileges again.

Previously, he had never been able to search for information about the Realm of Fallen Immortals, and wanting to figure out how to bring items back required disguising himself and beating around the bush with others.

In the future, it wouldn't be so troublesome.

After searching for the Realm of Fallen Immortals, countless pieces of information immediately popped up.

Li Fan discovered that all these messages came from a relatively independent section.

[Seeking Immortality].

On Seeking Immortality, only matters related to the Realm of Fallen Immortals were discussed. Any posts involving reality would be locked and deleted at the first opportunity.

When posting in this section, one could use their true identity.

One could also apply for a fake account to avoid the risk of exposure.

Li Fan did not register and directly began browsing the relevant information in Seeking Immortality.

The vast majority of posts were discussing and exchanging encounters in the Realm of Fallen Immortals.

As well as methods for bringing items out.

There were also some Cultivators who had successfully brought items out of the Realm of Fallen Immortals who would publish guides.

As long as a certain reward was paid and a confidentiality contract was signed, they could be viewed.

Out of curiosity, Li Fan searched for information related to Ningyuan City.

However, to his surprise, the information in Seeking Immortality could be described as vast as an ocean, yet not a single piece was related to Ningyuan City.

Li Fan then searched for the Purple Firmament Sect and Zhang Qianmo.

Similarly, no other Cultivators had encountered Zhang Qianmo, but quite a bit of information came up regarding the Purple Firmament Sect.

After browsing through it, Li Fan discovered that the Purple Firmament Sect encountered by other Cultivators had long become a ruin.

Corpses littered the sect, and not a single living person was left behind.

Only then did Li Fan realize that the time node he was in when entering the Realm of Fallen Immortals was different from that of ordinary Cultivators.

At the point in time when Senior Brother Zhang Qianmo and Li Chen went to Ningyuan City to fetch the Longevity Fruit, the New Law had just been born not long ago and was not yet known to the world.

As for the vast majority of Cultivators, the point in time they were in after entering the Realm of Fallen Immortals…

The dispute between the New Law and the Old Law had long come to an end.

The rule of incompatible cultivation methods had already appeared in the world for over thirty years.

Order was on the verge of collapse, and a massive slaughter was about to descend.

"The dispute between the new and old laws takes at least several decades. Afterwards, the New Law flourishes, and the limit of the Cultivator population's growth attracts the heaven and earth's counteraction. This takes another few centuries…"

"Being trapped in a single area is one thing, but how could the time node I'm in differ from ordinary Cultivators by so many years?"

Countless doubts welled up in Li Fan's heart.

Therefore, he searched for information related to the gap between time nodes.

He found that although this situation was rare, it had not completely never occurred.

Once, a Cultivator appeared in an area of the Realm of Fallen Immortals where no Immortal Cultivators existed at all.

This area seemed to form a world of its own, a peculiar space formed after all Immortal Cultivators went extinct and Mortal civilization evolved for thousands of years.

This was a future time point that could possibly appear.

There was also a Cultivator whose login location in the Realm of Fallen Immortals was a more distant past.

It seemed to be an earth-shattering battle.

The factions of the warring parties were unknown, but the number of participating Cultivators was simply appalling.

According to the Cultivator named [Bu Erren]: "Dense like ants, they covered the entire space."

"The light of Magic Treasures and spells flashed incessantly."

"At every moment, countless Cultivators died."

"Golden Cores and Nascent Souls could only act as cannon fodder charging the lines. Soul Transformation, Dao Integration, and even the Celestial Venerable of Longevity were fighting and falling one another."

"The earth and space were torn apart, black lightning of Chaos struck the battlefield from outside space, and Cultivators fell like rain."

"It was truly a terrifying scene resembling the end of the world."

Because the picture described by this Cultivator was too bizarre, and only he alone had ever encountered it.

Therefore, the vast majority of Cultivators believed that this person was making things up and didn't believe it at all.

Bu Erren swore oaths, swearing that all this was truly what he had witnessed with his own eyes.

If there was the slightest exaggeration, he would suffer the destruction of his body and Dao, and his form and spirit would be utterly annihilated.

Such a vicious oath truly deterred quite a few people.

However, even so, Cultivators who still did not believe it made up the majority.

Besides these two, there were quite a few bizarre encounter records.

Only then did Li Fan truly appreciate what Chen Ying had told him back then: the Realm of Fallen Immortals was a world transformed by consciousness before a fall.

Any incredible thing could possibly be encountered in the Realm of Fallen Immortals.

"Such a magnificent world, yet I am trapped in a tiny Ningyuan City. That really doesn't make sense."

Li Fan couldn't help sighing.

"I wonder if it will still be the same the next time I enter."

Taking another casual look at the Seeking Immortality section, Li Fan was just about to leave.

But he couldn't help being attracted by certain words in it.

"Gathering", "Exchange".

Li Fan couldn't help clicking into it.
