Chapter 305: Chapter 285: A Mirror, A Longevity

About half a day later, Li Fan buried Manager Song’s corpse right where he found it, reflecting on the information about the “Mystic Sky Sect” he had gleaned from his mouth.

Over two hundred years ago, Manager Song had just joined the Violet Firmament Sect, still a young boy at the time.

It happened during the centennial celebration of the Violet Firmament Sect, and the atmosphere was one of harmony and joy throughout the sect.

Who could have anticipated the arrival of an unexpected guest?

The guest’s status was so lofty that even the head of the Violet Firmament Sect had to personally receive them.

A supervising envoy sent by the Immortal Dao Ten Clans.

This envoy, however, showed no deference to the Sect Leader, stating plainly that they had received a tip-off that a wanted fugitive from the Immortal Dao Ten Clans was hiding within the Violet Firmament Sect, and a thorough investigation was needed.

Although the Violet Firmament Sect found this embarrassing, they had no choice but to cooperate in the investigation, given that the supervising envoy represented the will of the Immortal Dao Ten Clans. 𝓯𝑟𝓮ℯ𝘸ℯ𝘣𝑛ℴ𝘷ℯ𝓵.𝘤𝑜𝑚

No one knew who the culprit was at the time, but the intensity of the search was so great that every disciple of the Violet Firmament Sect was interrogated.

Even Song Hesong, who was just a newcomer performing menial tasks, was not spared.

As for the final outcome, Song Hesong was unclear.

However, after the supervising envoy left, whispers began to circulate within the sect.

A true inheritance disciple of the Violet Firmament Sect had mysteriously disappeared.

Many suspected that this true disciple was the wanted perpetrator.

Although the sect issued a rule forbidding such baseless rumors, truth always finds a way to surface.

As time passed, the confidentiality requirement for that incident gradually eased.

Later, when Song Hesong assumed the position of manager of Ningyuan City, his predecessor solemnly warned him to beware of residual elements of the Mystic Sky Sect.

Out of curiosity and after inquiry, he learned that the true inheritor who was taken away was a spy secretly infiltrating the Violet Firmament Sect from the Mystic Sky Sect.

“The Mystic Sky Sect, once the world’s top sect.”

“Dominated the world, all other sect cultivators lived at its mercy.”

“Later, it was overthrown by the unified forces of the Immortal Dao Ten Clans. That war of suppression marked the leadership of the Immortal Dao Ten Clans.”

“However, a crushed worm is not conquered. Although the Mystic Sky Sect was obliterated in one fell swoop, remnants remained hidden in the world.”

“In order to eliminate every tiny possibility of the Phoenix rising from the ashes, the Immortal Dao Ten Clans issued a death order. Any connection, no matter how small, to the Mystic Sky Sect would result in merciless execution.”

“The already established Immortal Dao Ten Clans alliance, despite their comprehensive elimination of the Mystic Sky Sect, still harbored deep misgivings because…”

A glint of strangeness flashed in Li Fan’s eyes.

“The treasured artifact of the Mystic Sky Sect vanished during the war of suppression.”

“And that artifact was called… ”

“Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror.”

“Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror,” Li Fan internally repeated.

“This mirror is an extraordinary treasure of the world, with boundless magical uses. The Immortal Dao Ten Clans even put up a reward for it, promising a place among the immortals merely for this mirror.”

“Unfortunately, after all these years, the remnants of the Mystic Sky Sect have all but been wiped out.”

“As for the whereabouts of the Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror, there’s no point in even discussing it.”

Li Fan slowly digests the information he received from Song Hesong.

“Is Mr. Bai from the old Mystic Sky Sect?”

“He could be, or he might not be.”

“But the Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror should be the Tianxuan Mirror of later generations. It’s just unknown why the words ‘Tian’ and ‘Xuan’ were reversed.”

“There’s no need to be evasive since the Immortal Dao Ten Clans have already been overthrown.”

“Even if they really wanted to hide their origins, they could have changed to a completely new name. There’s no need to give themselves away so obviously.”

“Could it be that there’s a deeper meaning? The Dharma Transmission Immortal Elders created this new law in order to overthrow the Immortal Cultivation Order as revenge for the suppression of their sect?”

Li Fan wasn’t sure yet.

However, he had surely moved a step closer to the truth of the Immortal Cultivation World.

After a long time, Li Fan suppressed the tide of thoughts that had arisen.

“Having dealt with the two key players, now all that’s left are some insignificant minions.”

Without any hesitation, the consciousness of Li Chen’s physical body broke free, revealing its true form.

Li Fan quietly moved towards Chu Liang and the others.

In a face-to-face encounter, he didn’t utter a word and activated the Binding Worm Divine Technique.

In just the time it took to drink a cup of tea, all four men who were hidden in ambush were captured.

At this point, within Ningyuan City, apart from Li Fan, no other cultivators existed.

The incident of the [Ningyuan Life Fruit] was finally resolved without any casualties among the mortals.

“I hope this will be my last visit here.”

“Mr. Bai, don’t disappoint me.”

Li Fan thought to himself.

He stopped wandering around, but just stood still in mid-air above Ningyuan City, quietly waiting for the time limit to arrive.

After a long time, the surrounding scenery slowly started to blur.

Li Fan’s face changed as he looked down.

He saw a slender figure in green, but he couldn’t discern its face.

He was standing in the street, looking up at him.

Next to him was a mortal woman in a stylish pink dress, but Li Fan also couldn’t see her face clearly.

“So, that’s how it is …”

Just as Li Fan was contemplating, the surrounding scene suddenly disappeared.

What replaced it was another scene.

A figure in green was standing alone amidst the continuous ruins.

He could vaguely see that his hands were covered in blood, as if he had been trying to dig something out of the ruins.

“Is this what history truly is?”

The scene turned dark.

Li Fan felt a wave of dizziness, and in the next second, he returned to the Tianxuan Mirror.

His head was heavy, and after careful introspection, he found that he had made two gains this time.

One was the [Violet Firmament Grand Intent], a secret technique from the [Violet Firmament Thunder Secret Technique] that cleanses the divine soul and purifies the heart.

“Brother Zhang, could it be that self-destruction was also your obsession?”

At the thought of this, Li Fan’s expression became somewhat strange.

“But it’s good, saving me the trouble of seeking another cleansing technique.”

“I have already mastered three secret techniques from the [Violet Firmament Thunder Secret Technique]: the Violet Firmament Soul Search, Violet Firmament Divine Thunder Jitsu, and Violet Firmament Grand Intent. It’s a pity that I didn’t have the chance to witness the real method. I’m afraid there will be no opportunity to complete it in the future.”

As for the second gain from this trip to the Fallen Immortal Realm.

Li Fan calmed his mind.

In the sea of his consciousness, there were three shiny green fruits quietly lying there.

Just the aura they exuded made Li Fan feel energized, as if he had become significantly younger.

“Rebirth Longevity Fruit.”

“Each one can increase life span by three hundred years.”

“Is this the reward for resolving Mr. Bai’s obsession?”

Resisting the urge to consume it, Li Fan moved his gaze away from the shiny longevity fruit.

“To me, a life span of three hundred years is just one reincarnation.”

“But for other cultivators, these are priceless treasures.”

“Instead of consuming it myself, it would be better to maximize its value and trade it for something more useful.”

“However, what to trade it for will require further planning.”

He decided to put this matter aside for the time being.

After some hesitation, Li Fan eventually gave up on the idea of searching for information related to the Mystic Sky Sect and the Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror.

It definitely wouldn’t yield any results.

If he forcefully searched and inadvertently drew attention, causing him to be forced to restart, it would be even worse.
