Chapter 287 One Mirror One Immortality

After half a day, Li Fan likewise buried Steward Song’s body on the spot, recalling the information he had learned from him about the “Xuantian Sect.”

Over two hundred years ago, Steward Song had just joined the Zixiao Sect and was still a young child.

It was the Zixiao Sect’s centennial celebration, and the entire Sect was filled with an atmosphere of harmony and joy.

Unexpectedly, uninvited guests suddenly arrived.

The identity of the guests was so distinguished that even the Zixiao Sect’s Sect Leader had to personally receive them.

They were the Immortal Dao Ten Sects’ Special Inspector.

However, this Inspector did not give the Sect Leader much Face, stating directly that he had received intelligence that the Zixiao Sect was harboring a wanted criminal of the Immortal Dao Ten Sects, and a thorough investigation was required.

Although the Zixiao Sect was greatly embarrassed, facing an Inspector who represented the will of the Immortal Dao Ten Sects, they could only cooperate with the investigation.

No one knew at the time who the specific criminal was, but the search was so strict that every Zixiao Sect Disciple was interrogated one by one.

Even Song He Song, who had just entered the Sect as a handyman, was not spared.

Song He Song was not entirely clear about the final outcome.

However, after the Inspector left, rumors began to circulate within the Sect.

A True Disciple within the Zixiao Sect had mysteriously disappeared.

Many suspected that this True Disciple was the wanted criminal.

Although the Sect established rules strictly prohibiting such baseless rumors, paper cannot cover fire.

As time passed, the confidentiality requirements for the incident gradually lessened.

Later, when Song He Song took on the position of Steward of Ningyuan City, his previous Senior Brother solemnly instructed him to be wary of Xuantian Sect remnants.

He asked out of curiosity and only then learned that the True Disciple who was taken away back then was a spy from the Xuantian Sect who had secretly infiltrated the Zixiao Sect.

“The Xuantian Sect, the top Sect in the world in the past.”

“It dominated the world, and all other Sect Cultivators had to kowtow to it.”

“It was later overthrown by the combined forces of the Immortal Dao Ten Sects. It was in that war of annihilation that the Immortal Dao Ten Sects established their leading position.”

“However, a centipede dies but never falls. Although the Xuantian Sect was destroyed overnight, there are still remnants hidden in the world.”

“To prevent any possibility of the Xuantian Sect rising from the ashes, the Immortal Dao Ten Sects issued a kill order. Anyone with any connection to the former Xuantian Sect would be executed without mercy.”

“And the Immortal Dao Ten Sects Alliance, which has already become powerful, is still so wary of the already destroyed Xuantian Sect, because…”

A strange look flashed in Li Fan’s eyes.

“The Xuantian Sect’s supreme treasure went missing during the war of annihilation.”

“And this supreme treasure is called…”

“xuantian treasure mirror.”

“xuantian treasure mirror,” Li Fan repeated silently in his heart.

“This mirror can be called a supreme treasure of heaven and earth, possessing infinite wondrous uses. The Immortal Dao Ten Sects even offered a reward: anyone, with this mirror alone, could exchange it for a longevity fruit.”

“…”

“Unfortunately, so many years have passed, and the remnants of the Xuantian Sect have almost been wiped out, nearly extinct.”

“As for the whereabouts of the xuantian treasure mirror, it is even more untraceable.”

Li Fan slowly processed the information he had obtained from Song He Song.

“Is that Mr. Bai a member of the former Xuantian Sect?”

“Possibly, or possibly not.”

“But the xuantian treasure mirror should be the tianxuan mirror of later generations. I just don’t know why the order of the characters Xuan and Tian was swapped.”

“Not to mention that the Immortal Dao Ten Sects have already been destroyed, so there’s no need to hide anything anymore.”

“Even if they really wanted to conceal its origin, they could have used a completely new name. There’s no need to be so transparent.”

“Could there be some deeper meaning?”

“Did the Immortal Venerable of Dharma Transmission create the New Law to subvert the Cultivation order and avenge the destruction of his Sect?”

Li Fan was still unsure.

However, Li Fan had at least taken a step closer to the truth of the Cultivation World.

After a long while, Li Fan suppressed the surging thoughts.

“The two key figures have been dealt with; next are some insignificant small fry.”

Without further hesitation, Li Chen’s original consciousness broke free from the body, revealing his true appearance.

Li Fan quietly approached Chu Liang and the others.

Without a word, he activated the Binding Insect Divine Ability at first sight.

In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he captured all four of the other ambushers.

At this point, there were no more Daoist Cultivators in Ningyuan City except for Li Fan.

The [Ninyuan Fruit of Longevity] incident was finally resolved successfully without any Mortal casualties.

“I hope this is the last time I come here.”

“Mr. Bai, don’t disappoint me.”

Li Fan mused to himself.

He no longer moved around but stood quietly in the air above Ningyuan City, waiting for the time limit to arrive.

After a long while, the surrounding scenery slowly began to blur.

Li Fan’s expression changed, and he looked downwards.

He saw a thin, slender figure in green, whose Face was unclear.

He stood on the street, looking up at him.

Beside him, a Mortal woman leaned against him, dressed in a simple pink long dress, her appearance also unclear.

“So that’s how it is…”

Just as Li Fan was pondering, the surrounding scene suddenly vanished.

In its place was another image.

Above a continuous stretch of ruins, only a green figure remained, standing in a daze.

One could vaguely see that his hands were covered in bloodstains, as if he had been trying to dig something out of the ruins earlier.

“Is this the original history?”

The screen went black.

Li Fan felt a dizzy spell, and the next second, he returned to the tianxuan mirror.

His head was groggy, but upon careful perception, he had gained two insights this time.

One was the “Purple Firmament Vastness Intent,” a secret art from the “Purple Firmament Thunder Control True Art” for purifying the Divine Soul and cleansing the mind and body.

“Zhang Shixiong, could it be that self-destruction was also your obsession?”

Thinking of this, Li Fan’s expression became a little strange.

“But it’s just right, it saves me the trouble of finding another purification technique.”

“From this “Purple Firmament Thunder Control True Art,” I have already mastered three secret arts: Purple Firmament Soul Searching Art, Purple Firmament Divine Lightning Escape, and Purple Firmament Vastness Intent. Unfortunately, I have no chance to see the core true scripture. I’m afraid it will be difficult to complete it in the future.”

As for the second gain from this trip to the Fallen Immortal Realm.

Li Fan’s mind settled.

In his Sea of Consciousness, three emerald green, crystalline fruits lay quietly.

Just the aura they emitted made Li Fan feel a surge of energy, as if he had become much younger.

“rebirth longevity fruit.”

“Each fruit, if consumed, can increase Lifespan by three hundred years.”

“Is this the reward for resolving Mr. Bai’s obsession?”

Resisting the urge to consume them himself, Li Fan averted his gaze from the crystalline longevity fruit.

“For me, three hundred years of Lifespan is just one Reincarnation.”

“But for other Cultivators, this is almost a priceless treasure.”

“Instead of consuming them myself, I should maximize their value and exchange them for something more useful.”

“However, what exactly to exchange them for still needs further planning.”

He temporarily put this matter aside.

Li Fan hesitated for a moment, then finally gave up the idea of searching for information related to the Xuantian Sect and the xuantian treasure mirror.

There would certainly be no results.

If he forced the search and accidentally attracted the attention of certain existences, being forced to restart would be even worse.
