Chapter 984: The Seeker Must Be Punished
"Xuanhuang Realm..."
"But it is really full of dangers. We, the survivors of various worlds, had a conflict with the Xuanhuang World back then. Now I am alone and have returned to the old place, so of course I have to be more cautious." Taoist Baihua explained.
"Oh? There was a conflict back then? What do you mean? When a catastrophe strikes, shouldn't we cultivators work together to overcome the difficulties?" Li Fan thought about it for a moment and knew the possible cause of the conflict.
Such a group of homeless people, encountering the rich Xuanhuang Realm, would definitely be greedy. At that time, when King Xuantian was still alive, he would definitely stop these people with ulterior motives from entering.
But Li Fan asked even though he knew the answer.
The answer given by Baihua Taoist was basically consistent with Li Fan's speculation: "That half-immortal is really domineering. He directly rejected our proposal to unite and deal with the disaster together. He also wanted to expel us on the spot."
"Haha, naturally some of us were unhappy. So we had a discussion with each other..."
The figure of Taoist Baihua was shining with golden light, and it was obvious that the competition she mentioned was not just a friendly competition.
"He is worthy of being a half-immortal who has been baptized by the immortal spirit. Even if his promotion is incomplete, his strength is enough to crush ordinary cultivators. We knew we were no match for him, so we had to retreat. And that half-immortal really had some immortal demeanor. He let bygones be bygones and even gave us a lot of supplies before we left..." Taoist Baihua sighed.
"It seems that although King Xuantian cares about the people of Xuanhuang, he is not a foolish and kind person. He is still very wary of outsiders, especially those who come in the context of disasters. However, he is still a little too merciful. If it were me, I would definitely slaughter all of these people and plunder all their resources. In the end times, every extra resource means an extra hope of survival. Letting the tiger go back to the mountain is more likely to encounter disasters in the future..." In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Li Fan's mind.
He hid the murderous intent very well, but it still couldn't escape the detection of Taoist Baihua's glass body.
Taoist Baihua paused for a moment, not knowing where the other party's murderous intent came from.
"Could it be that the person in front of us has some connection with the half-immortal from back then?" The people of Baihua Dao were suddenly shocked.
After thinking about it, Baihua Taoist took the initiative to change the topic, from the old events of the past to the disappearance of the fishing pond: "After I came to the Xuanhuang Realm, I still attached myself to little Liuli. First, it's because I realized that the Xuanhuang Realm seems to be much more dangerous than before, and second, Liuli's wisdom fruit is of great benefit to my practice..."
"Life was originally quite peaceful until the arrival of fellow Taoist and the slate monk."
"It would be fine if he just wanted to fish for treasures in the fishing pond, but he wanted to understand the art of fishing..."
Having said that, Taoist Baihua glanced at Li Fan.
The reason why Shiban made this decision was not unrelated to Li Fan's instigation.
"This precious fishing pond was obviously created by a [Nameless True Immortal] who has already established his own path. How can he allow others to interfere with his own path?"
"If Shiban wants to learn the way of fishing, he will inevitably face counterattack. As for where Shiban and the fishing pond have gone, I'm afraid it's not something you and I can find out." Taoist Baihua shook his head and sighed slightly.
Li Fan remained silent.
There is no flaw in Baihua Taoist's statement. Ask yourself, if someone wants to comprehend the method of turning the virtual into the real and reversing time and space through Huanzhen, then Li Fan will definitely fight him to the death.
But soon, Li Fan thought of something and frowned slightly: "Since the path of True Immortal is not allowed to be tampered by others, then why did that [Ming Dao Immortal] leave behind several sets of True Immortal seal characters? The Immortal Ruins has been enlightened for thousands of years, so why didn't Ming Dao Immortal pay attention to it?"
Taoist Baihua pondered for a moment, as if he was organizing his words: "Daoyou may have misunderstood. The Dao that Xianxu Immortal realized has nothing to do with the Dao of Mingdaoxian."
"The path to immortality can be inscribed with the word 'Tao'. The immortals in Xianxu used the word 'hunger' to realize the Tao..."
"The path he is pursuing may be [hunger] itself, or it may be related to [hunger]. But it will never be [inscription]..."
"I wonder if you can understand what I am saying?" Taoist Baihua looked at Li Fan.
Li Fan pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
It wasn't that he was so stupid that he couldn't figure out such a simple thing, but an idea suddenly popped up in his mind and he wanted to confirm it with Taoist Baihua again.
"I have seen that the Immortal Ruins Immortal was bound with chains, and I originally thought that it was suppressed by outsiders."
"Now that I think about it, it's more likely that the immortal tied himself up. The purpose might be to prevent himself from losing control due to his enlightenment of the word [hunger]. No, the immortal's disregard for mortal life is unlikely to be simply to harm innocent people. It's more likely that he is worried that losing control will affect his own path..."
"I see. His path of cultivation might be related to [Fighting Hunger Instinct]."
Li Fan was good at thinking about others and he was able to deduce a lot in an instant.
Seeing that Li Fan fell into deep thought, Taoist Baihua also remained silent.
After a long time, Li Fan spoke again: "Although you have explained a lot, there is no solid evidence after all. Since they are not of my race, I cannot help it. For the sake of Xuanhuang Cang's livelihood, I am afraid I will have to inconvenience you..."
Li Fan's reaction seemed to be within Baihua Taoist's expectations. She was not excited at all, but said in a deep voice: "What if I were also a cultivator from Xuanhuang Realm now?"
Li Fan was stunned: "What do you mean, fellow Taoist?"
"I borrowed Liuli's body and reshaped it. Liuli, on the other hand, transformed herself in the Xuanhuang Realm with the help of the power of heaven and earth..."
"In a sense, I am now also born and raised by the heaven and earth of the Xuanhuang Realm." Taoist Baihua smiled slightly.
"If you don't believe me, you can return to the Xuanhuang Realm with me and feel the will of heaven and earth. With my strength, if I were an outsider, heaven and earth would definitely feel instinctive disgust. The cultivators in the mortal world can see it at a glance, and there is no way to hide it."
In order to verify the other party's words, Li Fan brought Taoist Baihua to the Xuanhuang world.
The perspective instantly shifted to that of heaven and earth.
Sure enough, Li Fan realized that heaven and earth had no ill will towards Baihua Taoist.
There is even a hint of intimacy and solicitation in it.
Li Fan couldn't help but feel strange.
"What is your current cultivation level, fellow Daoist?" he asked.
“Well, if I were in the Wansheng Realm, after my skills were perfected and my body turned into colored glaze, the next step would be to accept the baptism of heavenly tribulation and ascend to immortality.”
“Although the road to immortality is cut off, I cannot ascend to immortality and my realm is stagnant. But my strength has continued to increase over the years, especially after absorbing the Glazed Wisdom Fruit…”
"If we use the realm of Xuanhuang Realm to divide it, it should be considered as the realm of immortality."
