The Immortal Alliance is Undercurrent

Xiao Heng opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

However, his lips moved slightly, and after looking at the stern Li Fan, he ultimately didn't speak.

Zhao Wen, who was naturally simple and honest, didn't think so much. After the shock, his eyes only held pure envy.

Thus, the cultivation path for the group of young children was temporarily set.

Except for Su Xiaomei, who was still in her infancy.

Although Su Xiaomei had extraordinary talent, she was too young at the moment.

Still in the babbling stage, there was no hope for her to Cultivate.

However, with the many spiritual items purchased by Li Fan protecting her, and Xiao Heng and Su Changyu taking care of her, there was no need to worry about her physical condition.

She even grew faster than in previous lives.

Seven days later, when the Cultivation journey of these little ones had gradually begun to normalize, Li Fan once again gathered them.

“Do you know where you currently are?” Li Fan asked.

After a few days of familiarity, the children had become less reserved than before.

“It's the Cultivation World!” They scrambled to answer.

“Not bad.” Li Fan nodded, “But do you know that your ancestors were originally from this Cultivation World?”

“Immortal Master, were our ancestors also Immortals?” The children opened their mouths wide, asking in a flurry of voices.

So Li Fan told them the story of how, in ancient times, their ancestors were forced to leave their homeland because they were afflicted with the immortal-mortal miasma.

“They are merely stronger humans, yet they act wantonly based on their own strength. They treat their former compatriots so cruelly.”

“Why can they monopolize this vast and beautiful world abundant in Spiritual Qi, while you can only stay in a Small World, generation after generation, where there is no Spiritual Qi and even the danger of world destruction?”

“It’s because you are not strong enough!”

Li Fan’s gaze swept over everyone, and he slowly spoke with a Gu-like allure, drawing on the power of his Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart.

“When you are strong enough, this world will respect and accept your opinions!”

“All humans in the Small Worlds should unite!”

“Everything that was lost must be taken back with your own hands!”

…

As one inflammatory slogan after another was shouted, all the children present became united in their hatred, wishing they could immediately counterattack the Cultivation World.

“Of course, we must also face the gap between us and the Cultivation World. Not only is our overall strength too weak, but the number of Cultivators is also far inferior.”

“Therefore…”

“Endure, lie low!”

“Seek new blood and strengthen our organization!”

Unbeknownst to them, in the conversation between Li Fan and the children, the shift from “you” to “we” had already taken place.

“It’s been some days since you left home, and I know some of you miss your parents very much.”

“It’s alright, I am not an unfeeling person.”

Li Fan pointed to Tian Yang, who was standing quietly to the side, and said, “As long as you succeed in Cultivation and can defeat him, I will allow you to return home.”

“At the same time, I will grant you the authority to recruit people in your hometown to join our Ten Thousand Realms Union!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the children became excited.

Who wouldn't want to master Immortal arts and return home triumphantly to show off?

Moreover, this strange adult looked a bit dull and didn't seem particularly difficult to deal with.

Seeing hope and becoming more active, the children became even more diligent in their Cultivation.

Li Fan secretly watched these future core members of the Ten Thousand Realms Union and couldn't help but nod to himself.

Of course, he didn't truly expect to counterattack the Cultivation World and overthrow the rule of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

However, this highly profitable transaction with the Empire had inspired Li Fan.

He could continue to contact those Small Worlds with unique power systems under the name of the Ten Thousand Realms Union to reap huge profits.

The value of the same level of power is not equivalent in the Small Worlds and the Xuanhuang World.

Take those one thousand beast soul orbs, for example: five hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators, four hundred ninety Golden Core cultivators, and even nine Nascent Soul Cultivators.

To build such a powerful force in the Xuanhuang World would require far more than ten million contribution points.

But precisely because of the Empire’s vision of breaking away from the Xuanhuang World and its urgent need for a large amount of contribution points, Li Fan was able to gain so much with ease.

The Empire was like this, and other Small Worlds were the same.

However, because these Grotto-heavens and Small Worlds were all secretly hidden and not revealed to the world, a large number of people would be needed to establish contact with them.

Therefore, cultivating these children was very necessary.

Moreover, since they cultivated the Sitting Mountain Skill, the stronger they became, the more benefits Li Fan would gain.

After quietly instructing Tian Yang not to fight too fiercely, and to let the little ones win once they had the combat strength equivalent to a Golden Core cultivator, Li Fan left a trace of Formless Killing Intent to monitor them, then quietly returned to Wanxian Island.

During his absence, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, undercurrents had long been surging.

After dispatching a large number of Cultivators, they also issued a call for talents.

Any Cultivator who had achievements in the Dao of Formations could answer the call.

They could obtain all kinds of treatment equivalent to a Formation Master of the Ce Zhen Hall without having to pass the entrance examination.

Those who performed exceptionally well could even receive a Dao Integration Cultivation Technique as a reward.

For a time, the Formation Dao elites of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance were eager to try their hand.

With Formation Masters from all over the world almost gathering at the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance Headquarters, such a grand display naturally couldn't be hidden from the Five Old Men Association.

In the borderlands, the Five Old Men Association constantly launched provocations and probes.

From time to time, news of Five Old Men Association spies being exposed and executed also spread.

Regarding war, both sides currently maintained a cautious attitude. Beneath the eerie calm, a huge storm seemed to be slowly brewing.

Li Fan also detected a hint of something unusual.

If they merely wanted to build the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation in advance, they wouldn't need so many Formation Masters.

The derivation of the Lock Spirit Array Formation diagram was simply not something a Nascent Soul-level Formation Master could participate in.

“Chief Lu, what are you planning now?” Li Fan’s eyes flickered, quickly browsing through recent events in the tianxuan mirror, trying to find some clues.

After a long while, when he saw a seemingly ordinary piece of information, Li Fan’s gaze suddenly stopped.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator Guo Yezhong unfortunately failed when attempting to Breakthrough to Golden Core, and died suddenly.

“Guo Yezhong, why did this person die early?”

Li Fan had a very deep impression of this Cultivator who, in his previous life, relied on commission from points to win first place in the Lock Spirit Array construction competition.

His unexplained death in this life must have something strange behind it.

So Li Fan carefully inquired about what Guo Yezhong experienced before his death, to see if he could discover any abnormalities.

After several days of effort, a huge amount of contribution points were spent as if they were worthless.

Li Fan finally found the possible cause of the accident from a good friend of Guo Yezhong.

There's another chapter to come later.
