Chapter 432: The Empire's Ambition
After thoroughly understanding the history of the Xuanhuang Realm and carefully studying and verifying it with the few practitioners in the empire, the think tank came to a bold conclusion.
These restrictions are likely to be valid only in the Xuanhuang Realm.
Because the skills stolen by the empire's thieves are also subject to the restriction that the skills cannot be practiced together, they are not like in the Xuanhuang Realm where one can clearly sense the location of people who practice the skills together.
That is, the restrictions have been weakened.
This is probably because the empire is not in the Xuanhuang world itself, but is a small affiliated world.
Then, the solution to this problem is obvious.
That is to cut off the shackles and escape from the Xuanhuang Realm.
Become an independent little world.
This may be an impossible task for ordinary mortal civilizations.
But for an empire that can control the power of alien beasts, it is definitely worth a try.
When the first generation of spell thieves crossed the Xianjue formation and headed for the Xuanhuang Realm.
The group of Rift-Boundary Whales hovering in the void have already attracted the attention of the empire.
After hundreds of years of attempts and the sacrifice of countless warriors' lives, the Empire finally succeeded in capturing a stray Whale.
And next, large-scale breeding of the Rift Valley Whale was achieved.
The Rift Whale is different from other exotic beasts in that it uses a peculiar method of [solitary reproduction].
It seems that any individual in the population can give birth to offspring simply by absorbing unknown energy from the void.
However, before this, the empire had not yet come up with the idea of using the World-Splitting Whale to escape from the Xuanhuang Realm.
The largest use of the numerous and huge Rift-Break Whales in the empire is as food.
The meat of the Rift Whale is delicious and if you eat it regularly for a long time, it can improve your physical condition.
Very popular in the empire.
However, since the plan to leave the Xuanhuang Realm was made, the Empire has ordered the protection of the Rift-Boundary Whale and prohibited its private consumption.
The whole country is working together to cultivate the World-Splitting Whale.
Moreover, he once again sent out elite thieves to the Xuanhuang Realm to steal the skills.
Before this, the most advanced technique in the empire was only the Nascent Soul technique.
Considering that we will have to completely cut off from the Xuanhuang Realm in the future, it would be too difficult to deduce the realm from scratch on our own without any practice to refer to after the Nascent Soul stage.
So the empire decided that it would be best to obtain the skills to reach the Hedao realm.
If it really doesn't work, you have to practice the Divine Art.
In order to achieve this goal, the empire sent more than a dozen extremely loyal warriors to sneak into the Xuanhuang Realm.
In order to avoid the possibility of being wiped out all at once, they formed groups, and apart from the group members, no one else knew each other's identity.
Zhu Shaotang and Xiao Jin were originally in the same group.
Another member of the team unfortunately died in an accident, and Li Chenfeng came later as a backup member.
Over the years, the three of them have been adhering to their mission, accumulating contribution points, trying to exchange for the Hedao skills and then escape back to their hometown.
Until Li Fan came down from the sky and captured them all.
From Li Chenfeng's memory, Li Fan also learned that there was still debate in the empire about whether to leave the Xuanhuang Realm.
The biggest opposition group has very simple reasons.
If such actions were discovered, the empire would face a devastating disaster.
So what if you can control strange beasts?
Can you block the immortal's sword?
The nine-headed divine bird with its head chopped off is still looking at us with its eyes wide open!
Due to the natural fear of immortals, opposition is very popular in the empire.
However, the ruler of the empire, the princess, forcibly suppressed all objections temporarily.
The ultimate plan to steal the law was implemented.
The Emperor's daughter is the descendant of the person who first awakened the ability to control strange beasts.
"The imperial family, surnamed Xu..."
Strange beast, surname Xu.
The appearance of these two words together made it difficult for Li Fan not to associate it with Xu Ke, the Beast Tamer whom he met in the Meteorite Fairyland.
But it could also be just a coincidence.
"I've read in ancient books that there are such crystal cores in the bodies of ancient monsters."
"There are even monks who can absorb the power from it for cultivation."
"I thought it was extinct, but I didn't expect that there are still a small number of exotic animals that keep this thing alive."
"It seems that today's strange beasts are indeed evolved from the monsters of ancient times."
The sword marks that have remained there for thousands of years are vaguely related to the Beast Taming Sect.
Li Fan couldn't help but feel a little interested in this small world.
"Perhaps in the future, I can spare some time to visit this empire and explore it."
"But now, it's more important to do business."
Li Fan looked at Li Chenfeng and the other two who were immersed in their dreams, and snapped his fingers lightly.
In an instant, the dream was shattered and the three returned to reality.
His face was filled with confusion at first, but after looking around, he gradually came to his senses.
Originally, they had just experienced that they had successfully stolen the law, the empire had separated from the Xuanhuang Realm, and developed their own Taoist tradition...
It's all a dream.
"You are really brave."
Li Fan's gentle words sounded like thunder in their ears.
Li Chenfeng and the other two suddenly looked ashen and felt extremely desperate.
It doesn't matter if they die.
The only thing I fear is that my hometown will be implicated.
By then, if the immortal gets angry, I'm afraid the number of people who die will not be as simple as thousands.
But the sad thing is that nowadays they can’t even commit suicide if they want to.
However, what they didn't expect was that what this powerful cultivator said next was far beyond their expectations.
"Very good! I admire you guys."
Li Fan nodded with satisfaction and loosened the restraints on Li Chenfeng and others.
The three of them looked at each other, but ultimately did not dare to act rashly.
Zhu Shaotang asked cautiously, "Senior, are you planning to let us go?"
Li Fan sneered: "I didn't intend to pursue it in the first place. What does the loss of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's skills have to do with me?"
"It's you who are so aggressive. If I didn't have some skills, I would have died here because of my carelessness."
Li Fan looked at Li Chenfeng with a smile on his face.
Li Chenfeng took a deep breath and said quickly, "I was reckless. Please forgive me, senior."
As he said that, Li Chenfeng actually bent his knees and was about to kneel down to apologize to Li Fan.
Li Fan shook his head and stopped him.
"You don't have to do that in front of me. Come on, go to your private room. I have something to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Shaotang and others' expressions changed slightly.
I didn't expect that the arrangement that I thought was secret could be seen through so easily by this person.
Feeling uneasy, the three followed Li Fan into the secret room in the courtyard.
Li Fan's next words instantly made the uneasiness in their hearts disappear.
Instead, it was the ecstasy of surviving a desperate situation.
"To be honest, I also come from a small world outside the Xuanhuang Realm."
Li Fan said slowly.
