Chapter 341: Abducting the derivation law jade
Although the derivation law jade before him was just in the form of a little girl.
Li Fan would not truly treat her as a young child.
Since the Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission re-established the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance in the Wasteland Era, the derivation law jade has existed.
If he guessed correctly, the derivation law jade had worked without sleep or rest for at least five or six thousand years.
This was enough for Li Fan to show her full respect.
The little girl looked up at Li Fan, nodded, and said, "Yeah. Deriving Cultivation Techniques is hard work."
Suddenly, she widened her eyes and asked, "You still have a third of an hour of usable time. Will you stay here for a while, or leave now?"
Li Fan was naturally sensible.
"I will leave after the time runs out."
"It is my honor as a Junior to share a room with you."
The little girl's face immediately showed a very satisfied expression.
"Great, I can rest for another third of an hour," she said somewhat joyfully.
During the remaining time, Li Fan didn't just stand there stupidly.
Under the supervision of that faint gaze around him, Li Fan began to tentatively ask the derivation law jade a few questions.
"May I ask if you are a Cultivator?"
"I was a long time ago. But people need to rest, and they also die. Later, the Celestial Venerable fused me with the derivation law jade," the little girl lay on the table and answered lazily, with an indifferent look.
"Now I won't die. I'm just a bit tired occasionally."
"How long have you been deriving Cultivation Techniques? Have you never rested?"
"How long? I don't remember. Anyway, it's always been like this. I can't rest, not until all the Cultivation Techniques have been derived. Occasionally slacking off is okay, though." The girl's face showed some helplessness. "I really want to finish early and go out to relax."
…
Li Fan and the derivation law jade spoke back and forth, communicating very smoothly.
And that hidden existence, for some reason, never stopped Li Fan's questions, which even became somewhat bold later on.
In this way, Li Fan gained a preliminary but relatively detailed understanding of this foremost treasure of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Amidst reluctance, Li Fan's permitted time finally ran out.
"Alright, alright, time to say goodbye." The little girl waved her hand and bid Li Fan farewell.
"I hope to see you again one day." Li Fan bowed respectfully.
Then he felt the surrounding light suddenly dim.
After a moment of darkness.
When he opened his eyes, he had already returned to the outside of the black stone tablet of the Law Enforcement Hall.
The black-clothed Cultivator who led them there was still waiting.
Simon Yue was also nearby, eyes closed in contemplation, seemingly studying the newly acquired Cultivation Technique.
Han Yi, however, was still nowhere to be seen and hadn't come out.
Li Fan didn't disturb the two and stood quietly to the side.
His mind recalled the sights and sounds of seeing the derivation law jade just now.
But it was a complete blank.
"As expected…" Li Fan understood in his heart.
Except for the content of the Cultivation Technique "Qi Xuan True Spirit Transformation" which was clearly imprinted in his mind and not forgotten.
The rest, from leaving the waiting room to appearing outside the black stone tablet, that large chunk of memory of seeing the derivation law jade, could not be recalled.
Even how the Cultivation Technique came about, or what the derivation law jade looked like, could not be remembered.
"The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's primary treasure is indeed strictly guarded."
"This should be a certain Restriction acting directly on the Cultivator, to prevent those with ulterior motives from spying on the derivation law jade."
"No wonder the world knows nothing about it other than the existence of the derivation law jade."
"However…"
Li Fan closed his eyes, masking the emotions in them.
"These Restrictions are useless against me."
"All memories have already been synchronized to my original body."
In the tianxuan mirror of Tianyu City, Li Fan's original body appeared calm as an ancient well.
In reality, his mind was constantly replaying the scene of the first meeting with the little girl, the derivation law jade.
"Forced labor for thousands of years; to ensure efficiency, they even fused a Cultivator with a natural spirit item, making her an immortal and sleepless laborer."
"The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is truly heinous and insane."
"The derivation law jade is so pitiful; it is only right that I save her."
In the conversation with the little girl, Li Fan learned that the derivation law jade was her companion spirit item.
But after being discovered by the Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission, in order to maximize its use, he used a secret method to transform her.
Her body disappeared, and her consciousness completely fused with the derivation law jade.
She became a strange existence that was both human and a spirit item.
From then on, she was ageless and immortal.
But she also had to work without sleep or rest, constantly deriving Cultivation Techniques.
Until there were no more techniques to derive.
The Celestial Venerable once promised her that the day the techniques were exhausted would be the time for her to rest well.
The derivation law jade naively thought that the "rest" in the Celestial Venerable's words meant actual rest.
But in Li Fan's view, this "rest" was definitely not a benevolent term.
Whether for public or private reasons, Li Fan's duty to save the derivation law jade was inescapable.
For other Cultivators, stealing the derivation law jade from such a heavily guarded place as the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance Headquarters would be an impossible task.
But for Li Fan, now that he knew her information, it might not be impossible.
Li Fan had even preliminarily thought of how to do it in an instant.
First, the derivation law jade is guarded by a Cultivator.
Based on inference, the guarding Cultivator is at least at the Combined Dao cultivation level.
So the first step of Li Fan's plan is to Cultivate to the Combined Dao cultivation level within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, then become the guardian of the derivation law jade.
The second step is to Cultivate feelings through day-to-day companionship with the derivation law jade.
The third step, when the time is right, activate Huan Zhen and return to Anchor Year 1. And when choosing what to retain, select the third option: the memory of a person closely related to himself.
The fourth step, repeat the actions of the previous life and return to the derivation law jade's side, then let her inherit the memories of the previous life.
These decades or even centuries of memories naturally include the process and results of the derivation law jade's hard work in deriving Cultivation Techniques.
With these memories, the derivation law jade would no longer need to work hard to derive Cultivation Techniques.
When it's time to report, she only needs to produce the Cultivation Techniques derived in the previous life's memory.
With this great gift, continue to deepen his bond with the derivation law jade.
The fifth step, activate Huan Zhen again and repeat steps three and four.
Life after life of Reincarnation memories will surely push the intimacy between Li Fan and the derivation law jade to the maximum.
Li Fan will have the derivation law jade acknowledge him as master.
The final step, Li Fan activates Huan Zhen and chooses to retain one item of his own.
Selects the derivation law jade.
And based on past experience, two identical natural spirit items will not appear in the world.
If there is a conflict between items brought back by Huan Zhen, the weaker one vanishes, and the stronger one remains.
With so many more lifetimes of memory, Li Fan's derivation law jade will surely be stronger than the one in Anchor Year 1.
So the final result is that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's derivation law jade will disappear.
Li Fan's derivation law jade will remain.
This is Li Fan's preliminary plan for abducting the derivation law jade.
It must be said, it's very tempting.
Although in this process, various problems will certainly be encountered.
For example, the first step of becoming a Combined Dao Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and infiltrating the side of the derivation law jade is incredibly distant for the current Li Fan.
And for example, there should be a contingency left by the Celestial Venerable on the derivation law jade, making it impossible for her to easily acknowledge someone else as master.
But…
In the face of life after life of Reincarnation, these are nothing.
As long as there is a theoretical sliver of possibility, for Li Fan, it is a predetermined certainty.
The derivation law jade is the foundation of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
And the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is the foundation for the Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission's attainment of the Dao.
Although the Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission is now free and unconcerned with worldly affairs.
But from "the number of Cultivators cannot be too many, nor too few," it can be seen that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is at least an important means for the Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission to maintain a stable number of Cultivators.
Li Fan was very curious about what would happen if the roots of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance were dug up.
How this mysterious and elusive Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission, whose dragon head is seen but not his tail, would react.
