Quietly proves immortality

Anchor Year 1, Great Xuan, Jie Li Mountain Peak.

Li Fan, twenty years old, stood alone on the mountaintop, his hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the distant sea of clouds.

The morning sun rose slowly from the east, radiating myriad rays of light that dyed the clouds crimson.

On Li Fan's young face, a hint of沧桑 emerged in his eyes.

"After three thousand years of time passing, it seems it wasn't without impact on me either."

Li Fan sighed softly.

The moment he automatically returned to the Jie Li Mountain Peak.

All the experiences he had undergone while transforming into an object surged towards him like a tide.

That was a period of time even longer than the hundreds of lifetimes he had experienced in human form since his Transmigration.

Even after transforming into an object, he couldn't remember everything as clearly as in human form.

Even though for most of those three thousand years, he was a solitary object, lying on the ruined earth.

Accepting the memories of the Array Breaker Jade Disk all at once in a short period still made Li Fan feel the terrifying power of time's erosion.

Fortunately, after about a day, he had completely eliminated the negative effects it brought and, at the same time, sorted out the history of the Xuanhuang World over the past three thousand years since his demise.

Some things, such as the struggle between the Xuan Net and the Cultivators, he could have foreseen before his transformation.

But the Xuanhuang World's destruction within a mere thousand years was something Li Fan had not expected.

"What exactly happened after the Overturning Sky Society obtained the blueprint for the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array?"

"Logically speaking, even if the two sides fought fiercely, one side should have won a tragic victory. How could it be a mutual destruction?"

Thinking of this, Li Fan couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

At the most crucial moment, that boy Han Wuyou turned off the lights and pulled the switch.

This led to several centuries of missing information.

"However, I can't blame him."

"With the decisive battle between the Overturning Sky Society and the Xuan Net imminent, the Array Breaker Jade Disk, sent by a descendant of an old friend, was full of strangeness. It even knew the absolute secret of the Lock Spirit Array blueprint."

"It was truly something that couldn't be ignored."

"At that time, he had already become a Soul Transformation Cultivator, no longer the naive young man he once was. The final battle even concerned the life and death of many Cultivators of the Overturning Sky Society."

"Choosing to Seal me was also reasonable."

"For the sake of the 'Hundred Forms Furnace Cultivation Technique,' I won't hold it against you."

Li Fan smiled slightly, reaching out to grasp a black-winged, red-tailed bird from a tree on the mountaintop.

Spiritual Qi circulated throughout its body as he closed his eyes in contemplation.

After a short while, Li Fan suddenly opened his eyes.

He released the bird and took a deep breath.

Golden light immediately enveloped his entire body, and within the light and shadow, Li Fan's body continuously shrank.

In just a moment, a bird identical to the one he had just held appeared on the Jie Li Mountain Peak.

And it showed no trace of a Cultivator's aura.

Even the black-winged, red-tailed bird treated Li Fan as one of its own, curiously flying closer to inspect him.

"Han Wuyou, that boy, truly has extraordinary talent. He was able to comprehend such a divine Cultivation Technique from the Heavenly Physician Immortal Scripture while only in the Golden Core Stage."

Li Fan sighed, transforming back to his original appearance.

This immediately startled the black-winged, red-tailed bird, causing it to fly away.

After transforming into an object and being refined by Han Wuyou's vital blood.

Li Fan developed a mysterious connection with Han Wuyou.

This allowed Li Fan, even with only a trace of True Spirit remaining, to observe and perceive the world through Han Wuyou's eyes.

Therefore, when Han Wuyou comprehended and practiced the 'Hundred Forms Furnace Cultivation Technique,' Li Fan, who was also very familiar with the Heavenly Physician Immortal Scripture, also mastered this extraordinary Cultivation Technique.

"It's a pity that later, as he grew older and his Cultivation Realm increased. Especially after Xiao Heng and others tragically died, his personality also changed. He even became a little wary of the Array Breaker Jade Disk that he had carried with him since childhood."

"I wasn't able to synchronize and perceive the subsequent Soul Transformation Cultivation Technique."

"But even if I knew, it would probably be useless, after all, that 'World-Mixing Tribulation Crossing Art' is most likely still controlled by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."

Li Fan shook his head, his thoughts returning to the future historical trajectory of the Xuanhuang World.

"Until Anchor Year 711, before I was Sealed, although many things seemed to have happened."

"But in reality, they can be divided into two main categories."

"One category is events that were destined to happen in the Xuanhuang World according to the established historical trajectory."

"For example, in Anchor Year 51, Immortal Venerable Lan Yu failed to achieve Eternal Celestial Venerable…"

Recalling Lan Yu's earth-shattering cry of "Who is it?" before his complete disappearance, Li Fan couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Another example is the increasing proliferation of strangeness in the Xuanhuang World over several centuries. Later, it even reached a point where it could be used to mass-produce Defiant Sky Arrows."

"I just don't know if the eventual destruction of the Xuanhuang World is related to this strangeness."

"Oh, and that team of Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance Cultivators who emerged from the Devouring Yuan White Mist, seemingly alive though dead…"

"Hmm?"

Li Fan suddenly paused.

"Lan Yu's failure to attain Dao, and the appearance of Cultivators in the White Mist who were unaware of their own deaths."

"Could it be…"

A glint flashed in Li Fan's eyes.

"During the twelfth iteration, from the black-clothed Dao Integration expert, I learned that Immortal Venerable Lan Yu had set up the Devouring Yuan Rebirth Grand Formation before his demise, attempting to reverse the principles of life and death to achieve Eternal Celestial Venerable."

"From the later results, he ultimately failed."

"And that phrase 'Who is it?' has two interpretations. One is that Lan Yu's process of defying the principles of heaven and earth was disrupted by someone."

"The other is…"

Li Fan narrowed his eyes: "The principles of life and death have already been reversed by someone. The path to Dao has already been occupied by someone, and he was completely unaware of it before, which is why Lan Yu was so unwilling."

"There are only a few Eternal Celestial Venerables in this world. As an old-brand Dao Integration expert, Lan Yu wouldn't be unaware of how they achieved Dao."

"So, there's a powerful expert in this world who managed to achieve Eternal Celestial Venerable silently, unbeknownst to the world?"

Li Fan found this conjecture somewhat unbelievable.

Then he felt a little emotional: "To activate the Devouring Yuan Rebirth Grand Formation, Lan Yu didn't hesitate to sacrifice the lives of many Cultivators in Yuandao Province."

"Yet, he himself couldn't escape the fate of being played by the supreme expert."

"Eternal Celestial Venerable…"

"The thoughts and intentions of experts at this Realm are truly unfathomable and unpredictable."

"In the previous life, the battle between the Xuan Net and the Cultivators was incredibly fierce, yet these Eternal Celestial Venerables seemed to have collectively disappeared, never showing up from beginning to end."

"Even when the Cultivators were on the verge of extinction, they remained indifferent."

In fact, Li Fan had his own conjectures as to why this was the case.

The key lay in the towering golden obelisks erected by the Xuan Net after its rule, which were scattered throughout the Xuanhuang World.

The obelisks had sprayed light beams towards the sky four times in succession.

Li Fan guessed that the Sky Alliance might have wanted to use the thrust of the golden obelisks to break the entire Xuanhuang World free from the influence of the Immortal Ruins.
