Chapter 547: True Weakness
Li Fan didn't know how long it had been since he had a good look at himself.
The image he subconsciously imagined himself to be was that of a skinny scholar at the age of 20.
After all, no matter how old his appearance is, in the end, once he activates [True].
When he returned to the anchor point, he still looked like this.
So for Li Fan, aging is actually a false proposition.
Old age, illness and death are things that all living beings in the world fear the most. But for him, they are just a temporary "state" that can be escaped from at any time.
Li Fan was even somewhat "indifferent" to the changes happening in himself.
What’s more, what about the countless living beings in this Xuanhuang world?
Kou Hong, Dao Xuanzi, He Zhenghao, Zhang Zhiliang, Xiao Heng...
The fate of these people will change with Li Fan's actions in every reincarnation.
Enemies who fought to the death in the previous life may become close friends who drink and chat happily together in the next life.
In the next life, maybe he will become Li Fan's loyal subordinate.
What happens next?
Perhaps they will become the innocent souls harmed during Li Fan's fight with others.
but……
No matter what they encounter, once Li Fan activates [Return], their "state" will return to the anchor moment selected by Li Fan.
So, for them, is the experience of life after life an illusion in some sense?
When people satirize extremely selfish people, they like to say things like "The world doesn't revolve around you, why should others give in to you in everything?"
But for Li Fan, the world, at least the Xuanhuang world where he is.
It really revolves around him.
With one thought, the world is reset.
The past is gone, all become a cloud of smoke.
Under such circumstances, how could Li Fan regard the people in this world as beings of the same status as himself?
Even though this can only be achieved with the help of the rare treasure [Huanzhen], Li Fan, who can reverse time, is indeed unable to treat the creatures in the Xuanhuang Realm as his "kindred".
Li Fan looked at himself in the mirror for a long time, but did not find the "silence" that Gao Yuan said.
This may mean that even Li Fan himself has not noticed some subtle changes taking place in himself.
Just like your mental age which is still increasing steadily even with each passing moment.
Li Fan is actually not as unchanging as he thinks.
[Huan Zhen] can reverse time, but Li Fan, as the carrier of [Huan Zhen], has the ability to remain "changing" under [Huan Zhen].
"I thought my acting skills were good enough..." Li Fan said with a little self-deprecating smile.
Li Fan closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, there seemed to be some subtle changes in his eyes.
It seems that I have become more smart and lively, and I have a little love for everything around me in the world.
Li Fan observed carefully again and made adjustments continuously.
After a long time, he finally stopped.
"It has been changed temporarily."
"But acting is just acting after all. No matter how similar it is, it's not real."
"There are too many people in this world with unimaginable abilities. Even Cong Yunhai, an ordinary monk on guard, has such keen insight."
"I think it's impossible to deceive everyone in the world at present."
"But it doesn't matter. It's not a big flaw."
"There are also some heartless and ruthless people in this world."
Regarding this little episode, Li Fan simply made some minor adjustments and didn't take it too seriously.
Gao Yuan and the others imagined that Li Fan might be the Immortal Heavenly Lord who had fallen from grace, which made him feel a little ridiculous.
"I don't really have any deep meaning. I just want to find an excuse to avoid the possible war in Tianlingzhou in the future."
Li Fan quietly left Wanxian Island alone and dived into the seabed.
It went deep into the trench tens of thousands of meters deep, ensuring that no one could track it.
Only then did Li Fan activate [Qixuan Zhenling Transformation] and changed back to his original appearance.
He also temporarily buried all the items he had obtained from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance since he entered the world as an "ancient Tianji Sect monk", and covered and sealed them with "Covering the Sky with One Hand".
Completely naked, Li Fan changed his clothes by himself and returned to the sea.
First, he borrowed a set of suitable clothes from a nearby mortal island, and then headed straight to the island where [Empire] and others were.
Soon, he arrived at his destination.
Since he did not conceal his own aura, when he was about to get close, the Imperial Saint Master, the blue phoenix that was beside Xu Ke back then, sent a spiritual warning.
"What can I do for you, fellow Daoist?"
Li Fan stopped, stood in the air, and smiled slightly.
He just replied with the word "union".
Not long after, Xiaoqing flew out in person to greet them.
He observed Li Fan carefully for a while, and then welcomed him to the secret room on the island.
Li Chenfeng seemed to be away from the island and no one knew where he had gone.
Even the soul-locking power of Wu Xiang's murderous intent temporarily lost its effect.
Li Fan replayed the images recorded by the Dao Stone in his sea of consciousness and found that he had left the Xuanhuang Realm.
However, the place he left this time was different from the place he returned to the empire last time.
"Not the Empire, but another small world?"
Li Fan's heart moved, but he didn't say anything. He just kept it in mind.
"Fellow Daoist, is he also a member of the Federation of All Realms?" Xiao Qing asked straight to the point.
"That's right. I'm here on the orders of the adults to inform you that I'm afraid our cooperation will have to be temporarily suspended." Li Fan said lightly.
"What?!" Even though Xiaoqing had lived for thousands of years, she was still stunned when she heard such sudden news.
She was so shocked that she stood up, staring at Li Fan with her phoenix eyes.
"What does this mean?"
Then, she looked at Li Fan suspiciously, her eyes narrowed slightly: "Are you really from the Federation of All Worlds?"
He actually began to doubt Li Fan's identity.
The murderous intent slowly flowed in the air. Li Fan cupped his hands, signaling Xiaoqing not to be too nervous.
He explained: "It's not that our Federation of All Worlds intends to go back on its word. It's just that there are reasons for it."
"Not only your Empire, but also all other small worlds, we have temporarily cut off contact with them."
"What the higher-ups mean is that everyone should lie low for a while and wait until the storm has passed before making any decisions."
Xiao Qing's frown didn't relax at all. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Li Fan say, "I know you are anxious to escape from Xuanhuang Realm."
"But the situation is indeed special and we have no choice."
"After all, we benefited a lot from the last transaction. We are eager to complete the rest of the transaction as soon as possible."
