Xuantian escaped the saint

Li Fan noticed the parts that Zhao Shijie deliberately omitted from her words, and his heart stirred.

However, he did not delve deeper.

Although they were Dao Companions, as the Dao Child of the Great Dao Sect, she was destined to come into contact with extremely secretive matters.

It was normal for her not to be able to speak clearly.

"Regardless, Chuan Fa's seizing and publishing of the Supreme Primordial Scripture can be considered a great Karma, as he indirectly saved countless Cultivators," Li Fan sighed.

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Li Fan paused slightly.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Shijie noticed Li Fan's abnormality and asked with some surprise.

"The principle of Heaven-Defying…" Li Fan turned his head and stared directly at Zhao Shijie.

"Spells cannot be Cultivated simultaneously; this is also a principle of heaven and earth, right? If a Cultivator were to reverse this principle and attain the Chang Sheng Realm, wouldn't the Xuanhuang World be saved?"

Zhao Shijie was silent for a moment, then shook her head slightly: "You're not wrong in your thinking; indeed, there were a few Seniors who wanted to do that."

"But without exception, they all failed."

"The stronger the principle of heaven and earth, the harder it is to reverse. Spells cannot be Cultivated simultaneously; this is a change that heaven and earth naturally produced to counteract us Cultivators."

"Digging deeper, this principle has already been reversed once. To reverse it again, the difficulty is more than doubled."

"Otherwise, with countless prodigies within the Immortal Dao Ten Sects, why has no one gone to defy the 'Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission's principle' and completely shatter the Foundation of the New Law?"

Zhao Shijie explained to Li Fan.

Li Fan carefully savored the meaning in his Senior Sister's words and fell into deep thought.

After three years of chaos, Cultivators seemed to have gradually gotten used to life where Spells could not be Cultivated simultaneously.

It was merely that their Cultivation Realm could not be improved, which just saved them the effort of daily Cultivation, allowing them to leisurely wander and play within the Sect every day.

Life was not bad.

As for those with extraordinary talent, under the arrangement of their Sect Elders, they received the treatment of exclusively Cultivating one Law.

Zhao Shijie was also like this.

Although the Wuchang Ling Xuan Scripture she was currently Cultivating was more than a notch weaker than the Scripture of the Great Dao of Executing Heaven, it was enough for her to Cultivate to the Chang Sheng Realm.

However, Zhao Shijie, with her high aspirations, naturally would not be content with mediocrity.

As the saying goes, 'once you've seen the ocean, a mere stream is not worth seeing.' After personally Cultivating and experiencing the most exquisite Cultivation Technique in the world, Cultivating a lesser method was truly like chewing wax.

So she turned her attention to the remaining two Cultivation Techniques of the Xuantian Sect.

After some deliberation, she still chose the Tian Ai Di Tong Scripture.

"Heaven mourns and earth grieves, the whole world is sorrowful. This Law is only half a point inferior to the Scripture of the Great Dao of Executing Heaven!" Zhao Shijie commented.

"The Xuantian Sect truly lives up to its past as the Dominator of the entire Xuanhuang World. A single Dharma King could carry so many exquisite and peerless Cultivation Techniques. I truly wonder how many treasures that escaping Saint Emissary still has on him," Zhao Shijie lamented casually.

"Saint Emissary? The Xuantian Sect Saint Emissary?" Li Fan asked with some curiosity. "This person was actually able to escape under the pursuit of the Immortal Dao Ten Sects?"

"Yes, not only did he escape. He also took away the Xuantian Sect's supreme treasure, the xuantian treasure mirror. Since then, he has vanished without a trace, disappearing. Even if the Ten Sects searched the entire Xuanhuang World, they couldn't find him."

Zhao Shijie shook her head, passing over the matter.

"Junior Brother, it's been a long time since we've done Dual Cultivation…" A faint blush appeared on her cheeks as she whispered.

"Heh…" Li Fan understood instantly. He pulled Zhao Shijie into the secret chamber and then sealed off the surrounding space.

—

The peaceful days did not last long.

Li Fan did not know what the situation was like outside. However, when the first Disciple within the Great Dao Sect, who could not Breakthrough their Realm for a long time, reached the end of their Lifespan, a wave of anxiety and unease began to spread among everyone.

Li Fan attended the funeral of this Cultivator named Zhu Jun.

It was very simple; the body was hastily cremated and, according to Zhu Jun's wishes before his death, buried on a mountain top.

The atmosphere of the funeral was not particularly mournful, but Li Fan clearly saw the sorrowful emotion of 'the rabbit dies, the fox grieves' in the eyes of all the Cultivators present.

Soon after, within the Great Dao Sect, a prophecy circulated: "Yesterday Zhu Jun, today all of you, tomorrow, execute you!"

Within the Great Dao Sect, there was a Chang Sheng Realm Cultivator suppressing them.

Even if they wanted to resist, they couldn't turn the tables.

Rather than die so ignominiously on the mountain, it would be better to go down the mountain and seek a glimmer of hope!

Affected by Zhu Jun's death, many Disciples, holding such thoughts, simply took the initiative to abolish the Great Dao Sect's Cultivation Technique and applied to go down the mountain to seek a way out.

Sect Leader Ji Changxi was not heartless; he granted the Disciples' requests.

He also promised that if they truly reached a dead end and regretted it, they could return at any time.

Several Disciples were moved to tears on the spot and changed their minds. They decided to stay within the Sect and live and die with it.

However, a few Cultivators still insisted on going down the mountain.

Ji Changxi did not stop them.

With these unstable factors gone, the Great Dao Sect once again became peaceful.

However, anyone with discerning eyes could see that beneath the seemingly calm surface was a terrifying force that was constantly accumulating and could explode at any moment.

Just half a year later, some of the Cultivators who had gone down the mountain returned to the mountain gate, crying and shouting.

They wept outside the Sect-protecting array, begging the Sect Leader to let them back in.

And when they returned to the mountain gate and recounted the situation outside, the surviving Great Dao Sect Cultivators realized how fortunate they were.

Because Spells could not be Cultivated simultaneously, the outside world had now completely become a terrifying slaughterhouse.

The peace of the past had vanished.

Walking on the road, one might suddenly encounter a Cultivator who would launch a relentless attack.

Just for the Cultivation Technique that might exist on them.

The Great Dao Sect Disciples who went down the mountain had already had their Cultivation Techniques abolished, with only a few Magical Artifacts for self-defense. How could they survive in such a situation?

To return to the Sect heavily injured and alive was already a stroke of luck.

These people lost their courage from then on and no longer mentioned Cultivating; they just idled away their days in the Sect, waiting to die.

The rest of the Great Dao Sect Disciples also felt a sense of empathy.

They no longer mentioned going down the mountain.

This day.

"Senior Sister, have you noticed anything wrong?" Li Fan found Zhao Shijie and asked with a solemn expression.

"Hmm? Is there a problem with Cultivation Technique Cultivation?" Zhao Shijie was uncharacteristically lost in thought.

After a long while, she finally reacted and asked with a frown.

"Why do I see many Disciples constantly coughing?" Li Fan noticed his Senior Sister's abnormality, his eyes flickered, but he didn't ask further.

Instead, he brought up the strange phenomenon he had discovered.

"Coughing? Impossible, right? Although their Cultivation Technique has been abolished, their Realm is still there. Would Cultivators get sick like Mortals?"

As Zhao Shijie spoke, her Divine Sense swept outwards.

Upon seeing it, her expression changed dramatically.

Ignoring Li Fan, she flew out directly and arrived in front of a sickly Disciple.
