Chapter 230 The ancient incarnation transformed into the Tao
Along with the immense feeling of weakness came fragmented memories belonging to Tian Yang himself.
Master is a good person.
Senior Brother Si Xing is both handsome and a good person.
Second Brother Ling Xiao is a bit strange, but he is also a good person.
Third Brother is silent, but he is the best person.
…
What a mess.
Li Fan spent a long time to roughly sort out Tian Yang's chaotic and disorganized memories.
He was picked up by Master in the wild and raised.
He was frail and sickly since childhood, needing to take medicine every day to maintain his health.
Fortunately, though the Sect didn't have many people, his Senior Brothers were all excellent people.
They took great care of him and doted on him.
…
With difficulty, Li Fan raised his head and looked at his current body, which was about the size of a five or six-year-old child, and finally understood what was going on.
Children have simple minds.
And because Tian Yang was very weak, his range of activity was limited to the small mountain gate.
Plus, he spent most of his time asleep.
It was normal for his memories to be filled with those close to him.
“I don't even know the names of Master or my Senior Brothers.”
“I do know the Sect I'm in, Body Transformation Dao…”
Having roughly understood the situation, Li Fan was about to prop himself up to observe his surroundings.
A wave of drowsiness suddenly swept over him.
“This little guy's body is really ridiculously weak.” Li Fan only had time for this thought to flash through his mind before he fell back into a heavy sleep.
In a daze, he didn't know how much time had passed.
Li Fan seemed to hear a series of urgent and continuous bell chimes.
He wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn't.
He fell back into a deep sleep.
Next, Li Fan was awakened by voices beside his ear.
“What kind of rubbish Immortal Recruitment Order is this? Why bother with it! Those large Sects have tens of thousands of members; sending some people is naturally fine.”
“Our Body Transformation Dao only has this many people, and they want us to go to the front lines? What kind of logic is that?”
It sounded like it was Second Brother Ling Xiao speaking, temperamental, straightforward, always saying what he thought, and impatient.
“Nonsense! The Immortal Recruitment Order jointly issued by the Ten Great Immortal Sects is not something you can ignore just because you say so!”
“Didn't you hear that the Spark Dao near us was annihilated in the blink of an eye because they refused to obey the order?”
“To be honest, Spark Dao was much stronger than our Body Transformation Dao.”
“You brat don't know the immensity of heaven and earth, spouting wild words all day!”
“It was fine during peaceful times. But today is different from the past, Ling Xiao. You must be careful with your words and actions; you must not bring disaster upon the Sect!”
The old voice sounded somewhat helpless, scolding in a deep tone.
It was identical to the person who fed him medicine earlier, the Master of everyone, the Sect Leader of Body Transformation Dao.
Second Brother Ling Xiao remained silent.
The scene fell into an awkward silence.
It was a voice that sounded rather cynical that broke the silence.
“I'll go. Who told me I'm the Senior Brother?”
“Perfect, let those barbarians see how sharp my sword truly is.”
“Si Xing…” Master sighed, seemingly patting Senior Brother Si Xing's shoulder.
Senior Brother Si Xing walked to the bed, seemingly examining Tian Yang, whom Li Fan possessed.
After a long while, he finally spoke: “Alas, it's a pity I can't wait for Junior Brother to wake up to say goodbye.”
Li Fan's heart stirred, and he was about to open his eyes to speak, but suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness袭来 again.
Unable to resist, he fell into a heavy sleep again.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Fan woke up again.
This time, he felt much better; at least he could barely get out of bed and walk around.
“Master! Master!”
It was quiet all around, with no one in sight.
So Li Fan called out softly.
“Junior Brother Tian Yang, you've woken up?” A man in white came over at the sound.
His hair was disheveled, and his eyes were bloodshot.
“Second Brother, what happened to you?”
“Where are Master, Senior Brother Si Xing, and Third Brother? Why are they all gone?” Li Fan couldn't help but ask.
Ling Xiao forced a smile: “It's nothing, they're all in the main hall discussing things.”
“Then, look, this is the mechanical Puppet I promised to give you. I went to great lengths to trade for it.” He took out a small humanoid Puppet and handed it over.
Li Fan took the Puppet and examined it carefully, finding that its shape and appearance were eighty to ninety percent similar to the Tianyang Puppet he would see in later generations.
“With this Puppet, when you're tired and can't walk, you can let it carry you around. You won't have to ride Senior Brother Si Xing every time…” As Ling Xiao spoke, his voice gradually trailed off.
Li Fan looked up and saw that Second Brother Ling Xiao's eyes had turned red.
“Second Brother…”
“Heh heh, it's nothing. You play with the Puppet here for a while; I still have things to discuss with Master and the others.” With that, Ling Xiao patted Li Fan's head and turned to leave.
After a while, Li Fan quietly followed.
However, the main hall door was tightly shut, and there seemed to be a Restriction protecting it, so he couldn't see what was happening inside.
Helpless, Li Fan decided to explore other parts of the Sect first.
Suddenly remembering something, Li Fan, controlling Tian Yang's young body, painstakingly made his way to the ancestral hall of the Body Transformation Dao Sect.
Using all his strength, Li Fan finally pushed open the heavy door.
At the very bottom of the not-too-many spirit tablets, Li Fan indeed found the one belonging to Senior Brother Si Xing.
After a moment of contemplation, Li Fan bowed respectfully and slowly exited.
He closed the door again, still wanting to explore other places.
However, the feeling of fatigue in his body returned.
As if he hadn't eaten for days and nights, Li Fan's entire body began to tremble uncontrollably.
“Tian Yang's body seems to have some hidden ailment; it's not just ordinary weakness.”
Even walking became a problem. Li Fan, with a sudden inspiration, tried to control the small mechanical Puppet he held in his hand.
In an instant, the mechanical Puppet transformed from a toy size to that of a normal adult.
Under Li Fan's command, it carried Li Fan back to the room.
“This Puppet seems to simply have more strength than an ordinary person; it doesn't have any cultivation.”
Lying on the bed, this thought surfaced in Li Fan's mind, and then he could no longer resist, slowly falling asleep.
After this, Li Fan was awakened by a thunderous voice.
“Esteemed Envoy, please spare our Body Transformation Dao.”
“Including this humble one, Body Transformation Dao only has five people in total.”
“In just a few years, this old man has already had two disciples tragically die on the front lines.”
“If this continues, before the enemy even attacks, the Dao lineage of our Body Transformation Dao will be cut off first!”
Master's sorrowful voice continuously pleaded.
However, the other party seemed completely indifferent: “Don't complain to me. I've seen Sects even more miserable than yours, so what?”
“Within seven days, another person must be sent to join the expedition team.”
“Otherwise…”
“One dies, or all die, you choose!”
