Knife on the head of all living beings

“As expected, remnants of the Xuantian Sect still exist in the world. The one who fled to the Zixiao Sect, who could it be…” the Five Old Men Association Cultivator murmured softly.

As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Qingang again.

“Confirming this matter is very important to our Five Old Men Association. Although it’s a transaction, I still thank Fellow Daoist. As for the contribution points that need to be laundered…”

He paused slightly and said, “Within a month, more than ten Cultivators of different identities will arrive with secure, standardized Spirit Stones. Fellow Daoist only needs to transfer the contribution points to them.”

As if fearing Zhou Qingang’s concern, he added, “These Cultivators use shell identities that our Five Old Men Association has created over a long period. Shortly after the transaction is completed, they will perish due to various reasons. There’s no need to worry about being traced or leaked.”

After carefully relaying the secret code for the meeting, the transaction between the two parties was considered basically complete.

“I look forward to our future cooperation,” the Five Old Men Association Black-Clothed Cultivators said slowly, looking at Zhou Qingang as they parted.

“Me too,” Zhou Qingang cupped his hands and replied with a smile.

Then he turned and left.

It wasn’t until Zhou Qingang’s figure disappeared into the horizon that the Five Old Men Association Cultivator frowned and whispered, “Zhou Qingang, Li Fan…”

“What exactly are their true identities? After searching for so long, I still haven’t found any useful information.”

“Is the Overturning Sky Society truly real? Or is it just a pretext used by some Cultivators within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to exchange information they possess for resources?”

After thinking for a long time, he smiled with relief.

“No matter what, as long as they can provide us with intelligence. The more chaotic the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is internally, the better!”

The Five Old Men Association Cultivator’s figure became increasingly faint, gradually disappearing into the air.

Zhou Qingang, having completed the transaction, returned to Congyun Immortal City as if nothing had happened.

Having spent such a large amount of contribution points, he had long been prepared for the exposure of information. But it didn't matter; the Five Old Men Association, at most, would deduce that “Tianji Sect Cultivator Li Fan” was also a member of the Overturning Sky Society, and might even guess that the identity of the ancient Cultivator was also a disguise.

However, they would absolutely not guess Li Fan’s true identity.

Who would have thought that the true identity of the Cultivator who caused quite a stir in the Xuanhuang World was a “Mortal” from a Small World?

Soon, all truths would be buried in the catastrophe that would destroy the world. Even if someone wanted to investigate, there would be no way to do so.

The river of time surged forward, and everything proceeded steadily according to plan.

The number of awakened Cultivators from the Medicine King Sect, including Liu San, had reached three hundred and forty-six.

Although the vast majority were Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Cultivation, there were only five Nascent Soul cultivators.

But combined, they were clearly a considerable force. More importantly, as time passed, the effect of the Bloodline Transfer became increasingly significant. Their reverence for Li Fan also grew day by day.

Furthermore, Li Fan frequently used the goal of “revitalizing the Medicine King Sect” to intensely brainwash them. Gradually, their gazes towards Li Fan even became filled with a certain fanaticism. Li Fan believed that in a short while, even if he asked them to sacrifice their lives for the Medicine King Sect, they would not hesitate in the slightest.

“The Bloodline Transfer Divine Ability is truly extraordinary,” Li Fan was very satisfied with the effect of this Divine Ability.

Of course, the excellent effect of the Bloodline Transfer Divine Ability was also based on Li Fan’s absolute strength suppression.

Li Fan had tried to use it on a Soul Transformation Cultivator, but it ended in failure. Even converting those five Nascent Soul cultivators was extremely arduous. It was only with Liu San’s help that it was barely accomplished.

With enough personnel, Li Fan gradually stopped awakening the Medicine King Sect Cultivators.

Li Fan knew that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance monitored the number of Cultivators in each state. An increase of over three hundred, considering the vast base of Cultivators in the Congyun Sea, was still within a reasonable range. But if there were more, it might arouse suspicion and investigation. Therefore, he decided to temporarily halt it.

After asking Liu San for detailed information about the Dao Integration Elder who was still in slumber, Li Fan used the second real temptation fruit.

He awakened a Dao Integration cultivator named Fang Zaiji.

This person was an Elder of the Medicine King Sect specializing in Artifact Refining. The little medicine king cauldron used by the Disciples was made by him.

Fang Zaiji was not actually a Medicine King Sect Cultivator. However, many years ago, when he was being hunted and on the verge of death, he was saved by Liu Ruchen. To repay her kindness and to avoid his enemies, he stayed in the Medicine King Sect as a revered Elder.

This person actually did not have much affection for the Medicine King Sect. But he was very interested in the method of refining the Medicine King True Cauldron, the Medicine King Sect’s treasure.

Liu Ruchen had promised to lend him the Medicine King True Cauldron for research, which was what moved him.

Li Fan used the real temptation fruit to modify Fang Zaiji’s thoughts.

Currently, in Fang Zaiji’s perception, during his time in the Medicine King Sect, he was relatively unfamiliar with the other Disciples.

Only Liu Yihang, who was Li Fan, pestered him every day. He had practically watched Li Fan grow up and had come to regard him as half a son in his heart.

Similarly, Li Fan’s instructions, which were mixed with absolute trust, caused Fang Zaiji to awaken after the real temptation fruit disappeared.

Under Li Fan’s narration, he quickly understood his current situation.

“It seems the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is even more treacherous than the Immortal Dao Ten Sects of the past,” a hint of gloom flashed in Fang Zaiji’s eyes.

“Sect Master, you should have awakened me sooner,” he complained slightly.

Li Fan shook his head slightly and explained, “At first, I wanted to find Chang Sheng Valley as a base, so I naturally awakened Old Liu first.”

“When I thought about waking up Mr. Fang later, I heard that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance monitored the number of Cultivators in each state. At that time, I wasn’t sure what was going on, so for safety’s sake, I kept delaying. Now that it’s clear, it should be related to the New Law that Cultivators are practicing now. You are not affected, which is why I awakened you.”

Fang Zaiji nodded slightly, accepting Li Fan’s explanation.

“Monitoring the number of Cultivators might be related to the Immortal Ruins,” he suddenly said after a while, as if remembering something.

“Oh?” Li Fan was somewhat surprised and looked at him curiously.

“When I was traveling back then, by chance, I heard that the Immortal Dao Ten Sects once set up a Formation that covered the entire Xuanhuang World,” Fang Zaiji seemed to be lost in thought.

“It was like a blade hanging over the heads of Zhong Sheng. From the day they were born, all living beings, regardless of Cultivation or race, had to fall into the Formation.”

“This Formation could not only easily deal with the Cultivators of the world but also gather the power of Zhong Sheng to cross the boundless Void Realm, locate other Cultivation Worlds, and establish cross-world passages for conquest.”

Fang Zaiji slowly explained.
