Chapter 205: Ancient Battle of Annihilation
As if to confirm Li Fan's predictions, three days later, Li Fan received hush money.
Ten thousand contribution points, plus three middle-grade third-level merits.
This payment was meant to make Li Fan forget everything related to Zhou Qingang and not mention it to anyone again.
Li Fan had no objections and accepted the reward.
Ten thousand contribution points were not a small sum, and more importantly, his permission level successfully rose to the tenth stage, unlocking new privileges.
When searching for information in the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan could now preview relevant data that would originally require a cultivation realm one stage higher.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
In his case, some secret information only accessible to Golden Core cultivators could now be viewed by Li Fan due to his permission level reaching the tenth stage, even though he was currently at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Li Fan conducted a search as usual, looking for a technique that enhanced multitasking abilities.
This time, he finally got results. However, upon careful examination of the introduction to the technique called "One Person, Thousand Faces," Li Fan frowned with dissatisfaction.
The technique, once mastered, could significantly enhance the ability to handle multiple tasks concurrently. However, it came with an unavoidable side effect: over time, multiple personalities would uncontrollably form within the practitioner, essentially leading to a personality split.
Naturally, Li Fan didn't want to cultivate a technique that would turn him into a mental patient, so he had to reluctantly give it up.
In fact, regarding techniques for multitasking, Li Fan already had someone in mind to consult.
That person was Jiao Xiuyuan, who practiced the Ten Thousand Puppets Dao.
Jiao Xiuyuan's puppets were spread throughout the cultivation world, numbering in the thousands.
Each puppet was vividly lifelike, with expressions, movements, and gestures identical to a real person.
The first few times Li Fan saw him, he couldn't discern any differences.
Controlling so many puppets simultaneously without any lag must involve some special methods.
However, it was unclear whether it was due to the unique techniques of the Ten Thousand Puppets Dao or if there were other methods at play.
Li Fan's clone had tried to contact Jiao Xiuyuan earlier for inquiries but received no response, possibly because he hadn't yet recovered from the massive loss from Spirit Mist Grass. His Thousand Miles Hall was still closed to visitors.
So, Li Fan had to wait again.
With no luck with techniques, Li Fan decided to try out his newly unlocked privileges.
Previously, he couldn't search for information on the Fallen Immortal Realm and had to resort to disguises and indirect questioning to understand how to bring items back.
Now, it wouldn't be as troublesome.
After searching for the Fallen Immortal Realm, countless pieces of information appeared.
This was a possible future time point.
Another cultivator was located in a more distant past at the entry point of the Fallen Immortal Realm.
It seemed to be during a tremendous and earth-shaking battle.
The warring factions were unknown, but the number of participating cultivators was astonishing.
According to the cultivator nicknamed Not Two, "It was densely packed, like ants, present across the entire space."
"The radiance of treasures and techniques shined incessantly."
"At every moment, countless cultivators died."
"Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators could only serve as cannon fodder. Soul Transformation, Dao Integration, and even Longevity Immortal experts were engaged in battles, falling one by one."
"The earth and space were torn apart, and chaotic black lightning struck the battlefield from beyond space, causing cultivators to fall like rain."
"It was truly a terrifying scene, reminiscent of the end of the world."
Because the images described by this cultivator were too bizarre, and only he had ever encountered such a situation, most cultivators believed he was fabricating stories and dismissed his claims.
Not Two, however, swore an oath with a curse that if there was any exaggeration, he would die instantly, body and soul.
This ruthless oath indeed subdued many skeptics.
Nevertheless, a significant number of cultivators remained unconvinced.
Apart from these two individuals, there were many other accounts of strange experiences.
It was only now that Li Fan truly understood what Chen Ying had told him earlier: the Fallen Immortal Realm was a world formed by the consciousness of a True Immortal before their fall.
In this realm, unimaginable events could occur.
"In such a magnificent world, I'm trapped in the small Ningyuan City. It's really hard to accept."
Li Fan couldn't help but sigh.
"I wonder if it will be the same the next time I enter."
Casually glancing at the Seeking Immortals section once again, Li Fan was about to leave.
But his attention was irresistibly drawn to a certain phrase.
"Gathering" and "Exchange."
Li Fan couldn't help but click on it.
