Chapter 314: Chapter 294: The Quirk of the Heavenly Master

Perhaps it was due to the possessed cultivator becoming too excited, or perhaps there was another mysterious cause in play.

The memory space was continuously shaking and swinging, extremely unstable.

Whatever transpired next between the main character of the book and Sister Zhao was all a blur.

It was like trying to see flowers through the morning fog, unable to get a clear view, causing an unbearable itch of curiosity.

The shock in Li Fan’s heart was no less than that of the deceased Five Elders’ Monk.

The information within his residual divine soul memory truly took him by surprise.

“Sister Zhao was actually one of the Immortal Sovereigns of the Five Elders Organization?”

When he had previously learned that the Five Elders Organization possessed the Great Taoist Sect’s secret teachings and the Enlightenment Pill, Li Fan had suspected that there might still be a powerhouse of the Great Taoist Sect surviving in the world today.

Combining the true manifestation of Sister Zhao’s divine technique [I Alone Am The Way] from their philosophical discussions, and the countless somewhat abnormal erotic folktales using her as the prototype.

Li Fan then guessed that the surviving Great Taoist Sect cultivator within the Five Elders Organization was none other than Sister Zhao, who reportedly rose from the rank of an outer sect disciple to the leader of the Great Taoist Sect.

However, Li Fan subconsciously thought that Sister Zhao must merely be a high-ranking member of the Five Elders Organization.

The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals might have intentionally allowed the spread of these books to disgust their opponents, even fueling the fire behind the scenes.

But what he absolutely did not expect was that Sister Zhao was indeed a high-ranking member of the Five Elders Organization.

However, her position was much higher than he thought.

She was the actual controller of the Five Elders Organization; the top powerhouse of this world, an Immortal Sovereign who hid behind the scenes and overlooked all beings.

Upon learning of Sister Zhao’s identity, Li Fan’s initial reaction was the same as the already deceased Five Elders’ Monk.

“How did Singing Book Old Man and Miao Bixian dare to make the Immortal Sovereign the protagonist of this erotic novel?”

You have to understand, although different realm cultivators do not have a huge disparity in status due to the quick cultivation of new techniques in this world.

Gold Core, Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and even Energy Refining Cultivators might be able to address each other as brothers.

But this is only the case in the first few cultivation realms.

As one’s strength increases, promotion becomes increasingly difficult.

The disparity in status also gradually emerges.

God Transforming Cultivators almost always hold high positions in a state, and their prestigious demeanor is prominent.

Integration Cultivators have authoritative power over a state’s land, controlling the lives of countless cultivators. To them, God Transforming Cultivators are just puppets in their hands, to be manipulated at will.

Li Fan’s previous experiences in Yuandao State and the performance of the black-robed Integration Cultivator and Immortal Lan Yu, have given an impression of the formidable power of Integration Cultivators.

As for the Immortal Sovereigns…

The Celestial Dharma Bearer established new techniques, created the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, and dictated the path of cultivation for all cultivators in the world.

The Sovereign who makes us forget our worries unknowingly influences and changes people’s thoughts. Even though we might not know his name, when you think about it, it’s quite horrifying.

While the Sovereigns may seem elusive, they are actually integrated into every aspect of a cultivator’s life, omnipresent.

Ordinary cultivators are only allowed to harbor fear and respect toward such powerful beings.

Who would dare to commit such a sacrilege?

Are they not afraid that Sister Zhao will come knocking on their door?

With the means of an Immortal Sovereign, no matter where Singing Book Old Man and Miao Bixian are hiding, they’re surely walking a death path.

The ability to transform words into experiences close to the real world indicates that Singing Book Old Man and Miao Bixian must have profound cultivation.

They wouldn’t risk their lives for some minor benefits.

Therefore, Li Fan speculated—either they were confident that Sister Zhao did not care about the spread of these banned books at all.

Or perhaps there was another force behind them that could rival an Immortal Sovereign, thus they dared to be so reckless.

Would Sister Zhao mind if erotic novels about her are circulating all over the world?

Li Fan was not sure.

Normally, any respectable female cultivator would feel varying degrees of anger about such things.

But he dares not conjecture anything when it comes to the realm of the Immortal Sovereigns.

The Sovereigns who’ve defied the Principle of Heaven and Earth and achieved longevity have transcended the realm of ordinary cultivators.

If we were to use the same way of thinking to comprehend them, it would only invite ridicule.

If he thought carefully, the widely-circulated book titled “Ancient Cultivation Secrets”, free for all cultivators at the start of their cultivation journey in Xuanhuang World, was also quite suspicious.

The main character isn’t dead and is even an Immortal Sovereign.

What cultivator writing autobiographies would dare to use the first-person “I” so presumptuously?

Many ancient events have long been erased from the pages of history.

Who would know everything that happened in the Great Taoist Sect thousands of years ago as if it was their own?

Fearfully, this book that Li Fan regarded as a novel for leisure reading earlier, is very likely an autobiography written by Sister Zhao herself.

As he recalled the content word by word and reread it carefully, many places he had skimmed over before now held particular significance for Li Fan.

The book made extensive use of psychological monologue to depict vividly and in tremendous detail, the journey of Sister Zhao; how she began as a weak and helpless outer sect disciple, the hardship and pain she experienced during her promotions, to the bitterness of becoming the head of the Great Taoist Sect after several years, only to find out that everything had changed and she no longer had any friends left.

The emotions were delicate and the empathy was strong.

It was as if Sister Zhao was telling the story herself.

“No wonder there are so many derivative works. The characters are too lively.”

“This Sovereign certainly has some unique tastes.”

“Or perhaps, it may be more than just a taste, there might be some special factors.” Li Fan pondered silently.

When Li Fan had calmed down from the shock of discovering Sister Zhao’s true identity and began to relive the continuous, unforgettable sensations from the memory of the possessed cultivator.

The scenes of Sister Zhao and the book’s main character entangled together came into view intermittently.

“The taste of a Sovereign…”

“Even if it was a time before she became a Sovereign, such forbidden pleasures would be enough to make one disregard life and death.”

“No wonder this cultivator couldn’t forget it even after death.”

As he savored the residual thoughts of this Five Elders’ Monk, Li Fan couldn’t help but exclaim.

Time of joy always seems to be very short.

After the separation of the book’s main character and Sister Zhao, the remnants of the monk’s preserved memories gradually came to an end.

Upon exiting the memory space and the dissipation of the red orb of light, this divine soul became no different from an ordinary one.

This strand of consciousness brought back the knowledge to its original body, Li Fan took a while to close his eyes and digest all the information it had provided.

“Tsk tsk…”

Li Fan exclaimed once more.

He then returned to the primary task. Reusing the wasted, he continued studying the existence of the soul contract within the divine soul in front of him.

Unfortunately, no miracle occurred.

Just like his previous hundreds of attempts, Li Fan was still unable to discern its existence.
