Chapter 1390: The Way of Life and Death in the Dust Abyss
(There was a bug in the previous chapter, which has been fixed. You can reload and read it.)
Li Fan had a ferocious expression on his face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Fellow Daoist, do you know how horrible it is to have a dream for your entire life?"
"It's all this weird villain's fault! I want to get rid of these nightmares once and for all, so I came to your Qianli Hall."
"But it is an heirloom after all. According to my ancestors' instruction, it must be properly preserved..." Li Fan looked conflicted.
Hearing this, Jiao Xiuyuan frowned and said, "Although the ancestral teachings are important, my own life is more important."
"This thing is indeed extremely powerful and ominous. But don't worry, my friend. Qianlitang has always been fair and will not lower the price for this reason."
Li Fan hesitated for a while, then slowly said, "Selling it is possible. But it would be better to find out what secrets are behind this villain. Otherwise, it will be hard to report to my family."
"Can you let me take a closer look?" Jiao Xiuyuan asked tentatively after hearing this.
Li Fan hesitated a little, but finally handed the mechanical man over.
The previous search had exhausted the villain's energy. Therefore, even though it fell into Jiao Xiuyuan's hands at this moment, there was no reaction.
Jiao Xiuyuan looked him up and down, frowning from time to time.
"Can you see anything?" Li Fan asked.
"Look at the appearance of this puppet, it seems to be from the ancient immortal cultivation world [Dust Abyss]. It is said that the cultivators in this world are all of true immortal blood, born with three eyes, and have many magical powers..."
"But the strange thing is that the material of this doll is something I have never seen before." Jiao Xiuyuan looked surprised.
"Dust Abyss Realm?" Li Fan pretended that he had never heard of it.
"It's an ancient secret, and this world has long been destroyed. It's normal that you don't know it, fellow Daoist." Jiao Xiuyuan waved his hand, with no intention of elaborating, his attention still focused on the little mechanical man.
At this moment, Li Fan was secretly manipulating the changes of the illusion array.
The mechanical man seemed to suddenly open his third eye, and shot out a beam of light, rushing straight towards Jiao Xiuyuan.
Jiao Xiuyuan was farther away than Li Fan, and the two of them exclaimed at the same time.
By the time they reacted, the golden light had already disappeared, as if it was an illusion.
"Dao...Fellow Daoist, are you okay? Was that golden light just now not an illusion?" Li Fan asked in surprise and doubt.
Jiao Xiuyuan nodded solemnly: "I saw it too. It turned out to be aimed at me..."
Jiao Xiuyuan's words seemed like a reminder.
Li Fan suddenly remembered something and said, "That's right! Whenever I thought about selling this little robot, I was always restless and couldn't make up my mind. It wasn't until I got to the Qianli Hall where you are that I finally made up my mind."
Li Fan's expression became somewhat horrified: "Could it be that you really have some inexplicable connection with this little mechanical man?"
Jiao Xiuyuan did not answer this time, but carefully felt the three-eyed doll.
I don’t know what he discovered, but his expression became more serious.
"This thing... might be alive."
After a long silence, Jiao Xiuyuan suddenly spoke, shockingly.
"Ah?" Li Fan seemed to be startled and stared at the puppet in disbelief.
"It seems that some unimaginable extraordinary means were used to create living Dust Abyss World monks and seals."
“Although it has evolved into a living thing, it still retains all the magic power and supernatural powers of a powerful cultivator with the blood of a true immortal!” Jiao Xiuyuan judged.
“This… this is impossible? To transform people into objects, even the great Master Chuan Fa Tian Zun may not be able to do this. Besides, didn’t fellow Daoist say that the Dust Abyss Realm has been destroyed?” Li Fan was skeptical.
"Beyond Xuanhuang?" Jiao Xiuyuan muttered first.
Then, as if to verify his statement, he took out a green bottle from somewhere.
With great distress, he poured out a drop of thick green liquid and fed it to the mechanical man.
"This bottle contains pure life essence. If it were a dead object, it would definitely not react to it."
"But if it still has the attribute of [life], it will definitely absorb it instinctively."
As if to confirm Jiao Xiuyuan's words, the moment the green liquid approached, the two normal eyes of the robot suddenly opened and quickly absorbed the liquid.
Li Fan still didn't feel any breath of life from it, but he saw with his own eyes the little man coming back to life step by step.
As expected, the villain's target was Jiao Xiuyuan.
The third eye emitted a golden light, which was like a chain, tightly wrapping around Jiao Xiuyuan.
"Fellow Daoist, are you okay?" Li Fan asked nervously, but he had no intention of helping at all. He just watched from afar.
Jiao Xiuyuan was tied up by the golden chains, unable to move, and his expression seemed frozen. He did not respond at all.
"Don't worry, it's just a little trick, how can it hurt me!" The speaker was still Jiao Xiuyuan, but the voice came from another corner.
Li Fan looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw a withered yellow branch growing out of the ground in the corner at some point.
The branches continue to stretch and evolve.
Another Jiao Xiuyuan suddenly walked out soon after!
"You...are you a human or a ghost?" Li Fan was frightened and shivered, with a look of fear on his face.
"Hehe, it's just a small trick of creating a clone." Jiao Xiuyuan comforted.
After saying just one sentence, a ray of golden light shot out from the third eye of the mechanical figure from the Dust Abyss Realm.
Locked on Jiao Xiuyuan.
Still without any power to resist, Jiao Xiuyuan was captured again.
"Fellow Daoist!" Li Fan said in a trembling voice, his legs trembling, and he almost wanted to leave first.
"Don't panic!" Another voice appeared again.
The third Jiao Xiuyuan appeared in Qianli Hall.
His fate remained the same, still bound by golden chains.
"Let me see how much you can cum!"
With a bit of anger, ten voices appeared at the same time.
In Qianli Hall, branches were blooming everywhere. Ten identical Jiao Xiuyuans appeared one after another.
Faced with such a strange scene, the three-eyed man was a little confused for a moment.
After a moment, a golden chain shot out to search for the enemy.
But just spraying out three at the same time seemed to be the limit.
As if being drained dry, it returned to its previous dormant state.
"If you want to catch your uncle Jiao, you're still a little naive!" Jiao Xiuyuan snorted complacently.
Seven voices came one after another.
After saying this, six of them turned into dead branches again, withered, and shrank back from the ground.
There was only one left, staring at the six of himself locked in the field.
He slowly approached and touched the golden chain.
“This thing…”
It was as if a phantom, and Jiao Xiuyuan's hand passed directly through it.
Seeing this, Li Fan also tried to test it out of curiosity.
Also untouchable.
"It seems to be formed by the innate magical power of the cultivators in the Dust Abyss Realm."
"It's quite remarkable."
Jiao Xiuyuan tried for a long time but still couldn't touch its entity, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Jiao...Fellow Daoist Jiao. It seems that the target of this little robot is really you?"
"Could it be that the baby that appeared in the dreams of our ancestors was you? The little mechanical man came to our world to hunt down you, Brother Jiao?" Li Fan's expression was a little frightened, and his tone became more and more terrifying.
"But that doesn't make sense. Fellow Daoist, you don't look that old. The time doesn't match either. Could you be the descendant of that baby?" Li Fan looked at Jiao Xiuyuan, confused and puzzled.
"I should be the baby himself." Jiao Xiuyuan said very frankly.
"Ah?" Li Fan's eyes widened suddenly.
"I, Old Jiao, have lived much longer than most people. But most of the time, I am ignorant and act only on instinct." Jiao Xiuyuan said lightly.
"In fact, I still have some vague memories of my childhood experiences. But they have been buried deep in my mind and I almost forgot them all. After this incident, I remember some of them." Jiao Xiuyuan's tone became a little confused.
"Fellow Daoist Jiao, are you really an outsider?" Li Fan stared at Jiao Xiuyuan closely, as if he wanted to see something. He looked a little curious and excited.
"It should be... right." Jiao Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
"I have no recollection of what happened before the sphere crawled out. But since the puppet that was tracking me came from outside the Xuanhuang Realm, I think my hometown is the same."
"No wonder I instinctively want to practice the art of transforming into thousands of bodies. Is it just to avoid being hunted down?" Jiao Xiuyuan said in a puzzled tone.
Li Fan sighed, staring at him in disbelief and said, "It's really hard to imagine how you have survived from infancy to today alone and founded Qianlitang."
Jiao Xiuyuan waved his hand: "It's not that difficult. In fact, since I can remember, as long as I do what I want, I have hardly encountered any difficulties. All difficulties will be solved spontaneously. Of course, except for doing business."
"It's really hard to make money!" Jiao Xiuyuan suddenly sighed somewhat inappropriately.
"I originally wanted to solve my own disaster, but I didn't expect to implicate Fellow Daoist Jiao. If it weren't for me, this puppet would have lost its power and probably wouldn't have come to me." Li Fan looked ashamed.
Jiao Xiuyuan, however, was very open-minded: "It is destined, and you can't escape it after all. Besides, I'm afraid this time it's a blessing in disguise."
Li Fan was a little surprised: "What do you mean?"
"I have lived in the Xuanhuang Realm for too long. I have been influenced by what I have seen and heard, and it is inevitable that I will follow the path of going against the principles of heaven and earth."
"It really helped a lot. If it weren't for Tianzun's new method, I would have lost my life when I was young."
"But some of the methods related to my hometown have also been forgotten. It is difficult to remember them anymore."
"If it weren't for what happened today..."
Jiao Xiuyuan's expression became a little dazed.
He seemed to be recalling some important information deep in his mind, and his brows were furrowed from time to time.
His eyes became brighter.
Li Fan also vaguely felt that there was a mysterious and unusual aura coming from Jiao Xiuyuan, fluctuating.
Jiao Xiuyuan seemed to have discovered something and looked around.
A hint of surprise gradually flashed in his eyes.
"Certainly!"
When he was about to see through the illusion, Li Fan spoke coldly.
The scene in front of Jiao Xiuyuan suddenly shattered.
"Fellow Daoist Jiao, Fellow Daoist Jiao!"
"Why are you stunned? Are you going to sell this Little Medicine King Cauldron?"
I heard an impatient urging voice in my ears.
Jiao Xiuyuan was slightly stunned, and a flood of information suddenly appeared in his mind.
It turned out that he had finally dug out some small Yaowang Dings of excellent quality from the ruins of the former Yaowang Sect.
Not only can it be used as a magic storage device, it also has its own spiritual space and can be used to grow various spiritual plants and herbs, making it of extraordinary value.
"Sell, of course..." Jiao Xiuyuan responded instinctively.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he had learned from a cultivator who was very good at deduction that soon a fire meteor would fall and return to Xuanhuang.
The essence of that meteor is most likely the Medicine King True Cauldron that carried away all the members of the Medicine King Sect that year.
At that time, the remaining small Medicine King Cauldron in the world will be the key to enter the real cauldron. The Medicine King Real Cauldron contains all the essence taken away by the former Medicine King Sect.
The value of the Small Medicine King Cauldron, which serves as a key, will definitely increase!
"No selling!" Thinking of the huge profits that would be made in the near future, Jiao Xiuyuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he changed his mind instantly.
"Brother Jiao, why do you go back on your word?" The cultivator on the opposite side became anxious.
Jiao Xiuyuan, however, simply put away all the small medicine king cauldrons and closed the door to refuse visitors.
I was thinking about how to raise the price of the Small Medicine King Cauldron as much as possible.
"Um?"
Jiao Xiuyuan vaguely felt that he seemed to have forgotten something extremely important.
But in the face of huge business interests, he decided to put it aside for the time being.
…
Outside the illusion array is the real Xuanhuang world.
Li Fan looked at the golden locks in front of him with a gloomy expression.
Everything that just happened was in an illusion.
But the truth and falsehood are truly evolving in the three-eyed little man.
It did receive a large amount of life force infusion, and thus it was briefly alive. However, the life force did not come from the green bottle that Jiao Xiuyuan took out, but from the power of the immortal formation.
The stimulation received is real, and the golden chains ejected by the three-eyed puppet are naturally real as well.
It solidified in the air at this moment, and seemed to be somewhat similar to the golden thread used by Tian Yi.
In fact, there are essential differences.
The golden thread of Tianyi is the "power to drive and change the laws" that Tianyi has cultivated after understanding and comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth.
And this golden light emitted from the third eye of the puppet...
"It is a kind of law itself."
"It seems that it is indeed the magical power of the cultivators from the Dust Abyss Realm."
Li Fan was not very interested in this mysterious three-eyed tribe.
No matter how powerful it was in the past, it has now fallen to the point of being refined into a puppet.
Li Fan was more interested in this incredible method of transforming life into objects, as well as the power behind it.
"Maobao, Luofanchen, and this three-eyed puppet."
"Outside the wall, life and laws are materialized..."
"It really is the use of external objects to the extreme." Li Fan felt heavy in his heart, but he was also full of awe for the unknown civilization outside the wall.
"Compared to the White Circle, the way this puppet was forged is relatively crude. Perhaps this is a breakthrough."
