Chapter 643: Chapter 609: The Truth Tempts Unity-Path

Thousands of years ago, the Celestial Dharma Bearer emerged, teaching living beings new laws to conquer Heaven and Earth.

From then on, people no longer had to worry about their inherent aptitude — anyone could start their cultivation!

The course of Xuanhuang World’s history changed as a result.

In the beginning, due to the popularity of these new laws, the Immortal Cultivation World experienced a brief period of prosperity.

Nascent Souls were as common as dogs, while God Transformations were everywhere.

However, much like Li Fan’s previous experiments with Kunpeng Essence Blood, such rampant proliferation and consumption would inevitably summon retribution from Heaven and Earth.

The restriction that laws could not be cultivated together hit the cultivators of the time like a hammer to the head.

Then came the sudden onset of the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma, delivering a fatal blow to the cultivators.

Consequently, the Xuanhuang Cultivation Realm was plunged into a long era of darkness.

At this time, the transfer of laws came into play again.

Upon the wasteland of cultivation, all surviving cultivators were brought together to reestablish the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

The origins of the Celestial Dharma Bearer have always been a mystery.

Neither the original Immortal Dao Ten Sects, nor the current cultivators, have been able to ascertain where he came from.

Yet, despite his elusive nature, his scholarly mastery of the law and his strong influence over the world remain undeniable.

People, even if they wanted to uncover his identity, could only reach out towards the “blue sky” helplessly, unable to grasp the truth.

Did he gain such knowledge at birth? Without any mentor, how could he create such shocking and unconventional new laws?

What were his intentions? If it were truly for the benefit of all living beings, why didn’t he appear when the Great Calamity struck, causing the destruction of lives? Why did he only appear thousands of years afterwards? Where had he been all this time?

And where is he now?

The Celestial Dharma Bearer is shrouded in many mysteries, which people are unable to uncover.

But at this moment, as Li Fan had an epiphany while figuring out the [Transfer Blood Lineage] divine technique, a previously suppressed insight resurfaced.

So, he saw through a possible method used by the Celestial Dharma Bearer.

Each cultivator practicing the new law was akin to “mutated blood essence” assimilated by the Dharma Bearer.

What was once a part of the world has turned into an anomaly that consumes the world itself.

“Is the Dharma Bearer trying to rule over the Xuanhuang World using this method?”

“Just like how I use [Transfer Blood Lineage] to manipulate cultivators?”

“Judging by the current results, it can be said he has already achieved it. He has the Xuanhuang World in the palm of his hand!”

Li Fan couldn’t help but admire in awe.

Without a doubt, the initial Celestial Dharma Bearer was not this powerful.

In fact, he may have merely reached the common Unity-Path cultivation level.

Yet, he found an alternative path, and made a bold move, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.

In a mere thousand years, he became a being transcending the Xuanhuang World.

However, Li Fan felt that “ruling over the Xuanhuang World” was not the ultimate goal of the Dharma Bearer. Rather, it may be a necessary step for him to achieve a certain objective.

Just like how Li Fan didn’t manipulate the Medicine King Sect cultivator in front of him solely for the sake of control, but to better serve his purpose of refining the [Pill of Eternal Life].

So, what would the Dharma Bearer’s ultimate goal be?

Li Fan couldn’t help but think of the silhouette he had glimpsed in the Immortal Ruins, feeling a chill run down his spine.

Could it be possible that the immortal is not yet dead and seeks to use the power of the world to reincarnate?

“I can’t rule out this possibility. Even if someone possesses inherent knowledge at birth, there should be limits. A freak like the Dharma Bearer…”

“Either he’s a traveller like me, or someone who has reincarnated and started cultivation again like Elder Zhang.”

“Or else he’s from another world! Whether it’s the incarnation of an immortal or an intruder from another cultivation realm…”

Thoughts surged in Li Fan’s mind, taking a long time to subside.

Only when the Medicine King Sect cultivator, whose blood essence he had invaded, slowly woke up, did he shift his attention.

“You are…” Xia Ye looked around a bit bewildered; his mind was a complete mess.

The only thing he remembers is that shortly after leaving the Xuanhuang World, the Medicine King Cauldron started shaking violently. Then, the Sect Master activated the [Era of Autumn Dreams Array], and he was forced into a state of hibernation.

Looking at the surroundings, it didn’t seem like he was inside the Medicine King Cauldron.

Where is this?

And…

Xia Ye looked at the silhouette not far away, feeling unexplained familiarity in his heart.

“You’ve awakened.” Xia Ye heard the stranger speaking in a charming voice.

His tension was quickly dissipated, and Xia Ye subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

Then, the figure explained the cause and course of events to him.

Encountering a Fire Meteor falling from the Sky Dome. Feeling resonance between the meteor and a small cauldron obtained earlier, he came to investigate.

Upon entering the cauldron, he found all doors and compartments locked.

Only the place where Xia Ye was staying opened for an unknown reason.

He then found Xia Ye severely injured and took him out for treatment.

“I am truly grateful for your help.” Xia Ye ignored many inconsistencies in Li Fan’s words, expressing his gratitude sincerely.

That said, in his dialogue with Li Fan, he was bombarded with one shock after another.

“What, this place is the Xuanhuang World?”

“How did we come back here?”

“Have thousands of years actually passed?”

Not questioning Li Fan’s words, Xia Ye was so shocked; he could hardly accept this reality for a moment.

“I have been careless. I should have waited until you recovered a bit more before telling you the truth.”

“Rest for now. I’m here to watch over you. You can rest assured.” Seeing Xia Ye’s distraught look, Li Fan spoke very gently.

Xia Ye nodded, somewhat taken aback. Laying down on the stone bed in the secret room, he soon fell into a deep sleep again.

“Doesn’t treat me, a stranger, as an outsider, is this the power of [Transfer Blood Lineage]?” Li Fan’s eyes sparkled.

“The effect is surprisingly good and immediate. However, it’s also very likely due to this boy’s Foundation Establishment Phase strength.”

“The stronger the target’s ability, the longer it will probably take to fully alter the way they think.”

“Hmm…” After musing for a moment, Li Fan ultimately took out a green fruit from his Cave Heaven Domain.

This green fruit seemed to oscillate between being real and illusory. It would disappear from Li Fan’s palm every few moments and reappear soon after.

“Reality Seducing Fruit.” Li Fan looked at this treasure that originated from the Five Elders Organization, stepped forward, and returned to the Medicine King Cauldron.

According to Ling Huchang’s memories, he arrived beside an Integrative Elder named Liu San from the Medicine King Sect.

Operating the Array Technique carefully, he managed not to startle Liu San awake.

“I am Liu Yihang, the adopted son of Sect Leader Liu Ruchen from the Medicine King Sect. Today I am taking command of the Medicine King Sect as per the Sect Leader’s will…”

Li Fan pressed the Green Reality Seducing Fruit to his forehead and muttered.

An almost imperceptible light surged from his Spirit Consciousness into the Reality Seducing Fruit.

After a while, the Reality Seducing Fruit lost its phantom state and became like a regular fruit. It released an unusual aroma that even Li Fan couldn’t help but swallow upon smelling.

Silencing his temptation, Li Fan slightly exerted force to crush Reality Seducing Fruit into green juice.

And fed it to the Integrative Elder, Liu San, who was before him.

Upon releasing the Era of Autumn Dreams Array here, Li Fan initiated a Protective Array within the Medicine King Cauldron. He then went outside and waited patiently.

Sometime later, Liu San began to wake up.

Unlike Xia Ye’s grogginess, Liu San became alert as soon as he woke up and noticed something was different.

An enlightenment flashed in his eyes; he abruptly stood up and cast his spiritual consciousness around him.

Upon seeing Li Fan standing at the entrance, a baffled expression surfaced on Liu San’s face.

“Young master?”

“Did you also wake up?”

Liu San asked subconsciously.

Seeing this, Li Fan immediately relaxed.

Wordlessly deactivated the Protective Array, Li Fan said seriously, “Something big has happened.”
