Chapter 381: The Ancient Dharma Transmitters

"Actually, compared to the Great Grotto-Heaven where the Five Elements are currently merging into one… the void region in Tianling State where the new Five Elements Cave Heaven was born seems to be even more important."

"What was once a desolate place that no one cared about has now suddenly become a vital stronghold, surrounded so tightly by the Garrison Academy that not even a drop of water can get through."

"It's said that several Dao Integration experts have gone there to guard it."

Huangfu Song continued with a sigh.

Li Fan nodded secretly upon hearing this.

By common logic, it was almost impossible for two Five Elements Cave Heavens to be born in the same region one after another.

Yet, it had actually happened, and it couldn't be explained away as a mere coincidence.

"Perhaps that void region in Tianling State can actually gestate Five Elements Cave Heavens?"

At this thought, Li Fan's mind began to race.

"In Anchor Year 9, when I first entered the Cultivation World, the Wood Attribute Grotto-Heaven among the Five Elements Cave Heavens had already been discovered."

"It would be extremely difficult to achieve the Nascent Soul stage using the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven without alerting the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."

"Although I'm not afraid, it would inevitably waste many opportunities across several cycles of Reincarnation to try."

"But the Tianling State void has been a blind spot ignored by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance ever since the original Five Elements Cave Heaven was moved."

"For a total of over twenty years."

"Moreover, a power capable of gestating the Five Elements… perhaps its power level is even above the Five Elements…"

"In the next life, I can pursue both paths simultaneously. I'll choose the superior one."

Li Fan fell into contemplation.

Huangfu Song, thinking Li Fan was still in shock from the news, smiled slightly and didn't disturb him, drifting away.

Once a true emergency was involved, the efficiency of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance immediately became high.

Another day later, Huangfu Song received notice to head to Yu Yang Immortal City immediately.

Someone was already waiting there.

Not daring to delay, Huangfu Song led his subordinates, piloted a crossing dust boat, flew out of the Spirit Transformation Stream, and headed straight for Yu Yang Immortal City.

On the return trip, the group had pretty good luck.

The violent Ten Thousand Mile Flame Scorched Beach had calmed down for once.

It took only two and a half days to reach their destination.

Yu Yang Immortal City, Dharma Transmission Plaza.

"Fellow Daoist Qi! A pleasure to meet you!" Huangfu Song greeted a rather handsome white-robed Cultivator ahead of him who had masculine features despite being female.

Li Fan also observed this female Cultivator named Qi Buyi.

According to what Huangfu Song had said before, although she only had a Nascent Soul cultivation, she was highly regarded by Chief Lu Xichan.

Many affairs of the Ce Zhen Hall were handled by her personally.

And she never let Chief Lu down.

Everything was always organized and went without a hitch.

"Fellow Daoist Huangfu, is everyone here? Let's not delay and set off immediately," Qi Buyi said after the pleasantries.

Huangfu Song nodded in agreement, and then the group arrived at the foot of the Celestial Venerable's statue, at the entrance to the long-distance teleportation formation.

Qi Buyi had clearly made arrangements in advance.

When the guarding Cultivators saw Qi Buyi leading the team, they only performed a perfunctory check before letting them through.

The next moment, everyone arrived at the space filled with silver screens, where the miniature cloud clusters of the Xuanhuang World were established.

Qi Buyi held a jade token and adjusted the destination of the long-distance teleportation.

"Senior Huangfu, why is this long-distance teleportation formation set up inside the body of the Celestial Venerable's statue?"

"A perfectly good statue, just hollowed out like that. Isn't that a great disrespect to the Elder Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission?"

During the gap while waiting for the teleportation Formation to take shape, Li Fan asked Huangfu Song via Divine Sense transmission.

Huangfu Song's face darkened, and he glanced at Li Fan.

"Hehe, little friend, don't overthink it. The Celestial Venerable has long attained longevity and is beyond worldly concerns."

"He wouldn't care about this."

"However, it's said that when this long-distance teleportation formation was first constructed, it was designed this way. As for the reason, I'm afraid only the Dharma Transmitters who were in charge of this matter back then would know."

Thinking of something, even though he was somewhat dismissive of Li Fan's question, Huangfu Song added another explanation.

"Dharma Transmitters?" This was the first time Li Fan had encountered this term.

His heart stirred slightly, but he remained calm on the surface.

As the long-distance teleportation formation activated, Li Fan pondered the matter of the "Dharma Transmitters" that Huangfu Song had inadvertently revealed amidst the distorted and elongated fantastical visions.

Literally, these three words were easy to explain.

But when linked with the "Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission," it became complicated again.

Dharma Transmitters—whose dharma are they transmitting?

Naturally, it was the Celestial Venerable's New Dharma that defied the principles of heaven and earth.

Two figures suddenly flashed through Li Fan's mind.

One was a high-spirited young man, and the other was a young girl in snow-white clothes.

They both came from the scenes Li Fan had obtained back in the Fallen Immortal Realm using the Purple Firmament Soul Observation Art to search the souls of several Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance Cultivators who had besieged Zhang Qianmo.

The young man reached Golden Core in ten years, and the girl reached Nascent Soul in twenty.

They were the Cultivators who were fortunate enough to personally witness the Celestial Venerable's dharma transmission back then, and were the first beneficiaries of the New Dharma.

They spontaneously traveled everywhere to preach and popularize the New Dharma for the Celestial Venerable.

The prototype of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was even established by this group of people.

Before, Li Fan wasn't sure if these people could survive from the ancient era through the numerous tribulations until now.

Huangfu Song's inadvertent remark today confirmed it for Li Fan.

Many of those Dharma Transmitters from back then indeed still exist in the world today.

And they hold positions of power within key locations of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

"Previously, I guessed that the tianxuan mirror might be the true Dominator of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. But now it seems the Dharma Transmitters are the ones holding power behind the scenes."

"Wait… that's not right."

Thinking of this, Li Fan was suddenly taken aback.

"Tianxuan Locking Spirit."

"Perhaps…"

Just as he felt he was about to touch the truth of the matter, the long-distance teleportation ended.

A strong sense of dizziness hit him suddenly, interrupting his train of thought.

Clearly, many people in Huangfu Song's team hadn't experienced long-distance teleportation formations much either.

Caught off guard, their bodies swayed, and they almost fell to the ground.

They looked quite pathetic.

Qi Buyi didn't show any unusual expression; she just professionally took out Cleansing Dust Pills from her robes and distributed them to everyone.

Li Fan kept that flash of inspiration in mind and swallowed the pill.

The pill, glowing with a green light, melted in his mouth, its effect rapid.

After a moment, the physical discomfort vanished without a trace.

Led by Qi Buyi, the group once again passed through the teleportation Formation on the plaza of Tianshu State and arrived at Zhubi City.

Then she personally summoned a crossing dust boat, carrying everyone as they headed towards the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven.

Stepping into the cabin, Li Fan immediately noticed the difference between this crossing dust boat and Huangfu Song's previous one.

The hull isolated the interior from the exterior; being within it, one lost perception of the external environment.

Even though the crossing dust boat was speeding along at an extremely fast pace, Li Fan felt as if he were living in a stationary residence.

He couldn't feel the changes of the outside world at all.

Neither through his eyes nor his Divine Sense.
