Chapter 353: Chapter 330: Master of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals

Translator: 549690339

Four years ago, specifically in the 24th year.

When Zhang Zhiliang was explaining the Array Training in Tianyu Province, he mentioned that the Immortal Alliance planned to cover every inch of its territory with the TianXuan Soul Locking Array in thirty years.

Does it mean that the Immortal Alliance had sensed the impending changes in heaven and earth, even back then?

From his brief encounters with the world’s top powerhouses, Li Fan did not believe it was an exaggeration.

“Warm spring water signifies the duck’s knowledge of spring. The ones at the Unity-Path level and above the Immortal Realm already have the ability to contend with heaven and earth. Thus, sensing the changes in heaven and earth in advance is normal.”

“The policy has been laid down, yet not everyone understands its deep implications.”

“They thought it was a common infrastructure task. Therefore, for the position of Grand Commander in the Defense Institute, they carelessly used figures like Dan Taitao as pawns in their conspiracy.”

“However, they have clearly underestimated the importance of the mission to popularize the TianXuan Soul Locking Array Technique.”

“This leads to a huge disaster. The position of Grand Commander of the Defense Institute in the Four States of Tianyu, Tianchen, Tianshu, and Tianquan is undoubtedly not low. Still, they are not aware of the deep meaning behind the policy.”

“Then, who are the policy makers of the Immortal Alliance?”

There are several departments within the Immortal Alliance that Li Fan knows: the Governance Hall, Martial Arts Battle Hall, Array Strategy Hall, Tiantong Hall, Defense Institute, and so on, each performing their duties.

They are all executors of the policy.

As for the mysterious Law Enforcement Hall that stands above all, it only maintains the integrity of Techniques.

Who truly represents the will of the Immortal Alliance?

Who determines the fate of countless cultivators in an instant?

The Celestial Dharma Bearer?

Li Fan has reviewed countless secret documents, knowing that one universally recognized fact in both the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization is that the Celestial Dharma Bearer’s whereabouts are unknown and he has long ceased to interfere with worldly affairs.

This is not an issue to avoid – anyone can know this with a simple search.

Other than the Celestial Dharma Bearer, does the Immortal Alliance have another Immortal Sovereign?

If it’s just Unity-Path cultivation, how can anyone convince all?

Li Fan thought about the mysterious Celestial Doctor again.

His strength is above the Unity-Path level.

But he seemed to stay outside the system of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

Otherwise, why would there be a reward task for “The Cloud and Water Scroll”?

Wouldn’t it be easier to simply issue an order?

“There are those invisible to the public eye. They are the real decision-makers of the Immortal Alliance.”

“Even…”

Li Fan wrinkled his brow slightly, a somewhat absurd idea sprung up in his mind.

All along, he habitually thought of the TianXuan Mirror as an extraordinarily powerful Spiritual Treasure.

Despite its own thoughts, it is merely an item.

An item meant to serve the Immortal cultivators of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

This is the consensus of almost all cultivators in the Immortal Alliance.

But…

What if the real leader of the Immortal Alliance is the TianXuan Mirror?

The idea startled even Li Fan.

But after thinking about it carefully, it may not be impossible.

Upon reaching the level of the TianXuan Mirror, there’s no clear boundary between items and humans.

Li Fan believes that creating a body to move around is not difficult for the TianXuan Mirror.

The turmoil during the Spirit Mist Grass affair, just when the situation was about to get out of control, the TianXuan Mirror promptly issued an announcement that settled the storm.

This might not be the order of any other cultivator, but a decision made by the TianXuan Mirror itself.

“The TianXuan Mirror…”

Upon this thought, Li Fan, who was practicing in the space of TianXuan Mirror, suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable.

Even this spacious private space seemed to become inexplicably dim and narrow.

He shook his head inwardly, suppressing his thoughts.

With a glance at the Tianxuan Mirror Space, Li Fan’s eyes shimmered.

“Even if my suspicions are right, as long as I don’t display any obvious abnormality, the Tianxuan Mirror might not notice me.”

“After all, there are too many cultivators in the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, and I am only a minor Golden Core cultivator.”

“It is also possible that I am just frightening myself.”

Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to suppress such thoughts.

“Regardless, the world is experiencing weird changes now, which makes cultivation much easier for cultivators this is beneficial for me in a short time.”

“I may as well seize this opportunity to strive to attain the Mid Stage Golden Core.”

The Xuan Huang Heart-Refining Spell slowly operated, grinding down all distracting thoughts.

Li Fan regained his calm and immersed himself in cultivation.

Throughout the remaining months of the 28th year, Li Fan’s cultivation progress was extremely quick.

The feedback regarding cultivation level was also unceasing, indicating that the realm of the others was rapidly improving.

Even the young man named Han Wuyou, who was at the periphery of the realm, had also entered the Energy Refining Stage, providing a stream-like aid.

With the enhancement from various factors, at the end of the 28th year, Li Fan successfully cultivated to the Initial Perfect Stage of Golden Core.

And just as other cultivators had said, those existent bottlenecks that hindered the cultivators’ progress at every realm,

had become as fragile as paper, shattering at a mere touch.

Emanating a surging aura, Li Fan successfully entered the Mid Stage Golden Core.

“Having successfully made a breakthrough, I can now start working on creating a clone.”

This clone would still be used to direct attention away from him.

Li Fan even planned to send the clone to investigate the Yuandao State during the 29th year.

To see what exactly happened in the ten years that were missing.

And how different it would feel to be both inside and outside Yuandao State at the same time.

The inevitable cannon fodder naturally doesn’t deserve much effort.

Li Fan left Tianyu City once more, choosing a random direction, and after flying for more than ten days, he found a remote area.

Just like before, he dug out a secret room and sealed the road he came from.

“There won’t be as much disturbance this time, and I hope I won’t be so unlucky as to be found again.”

Li Fan murmured softly and started to create the clone.

Top-grade bones, Heavenly Spirit Milk, Broken Bone Treasure Tendon, Heavenly Crystal Spirit Sand…

He skillfully added the materials to the fictitious flesh and blood.

He also added the mid-grade Oddity of Man: Nu Feidie, a mandatory item for foundation establishment.

Then he threw in a “Gold Core fragment” which held the knowledge of forming a Golden Core with the water element.

The Nu Feidie butterfly was previously purchased from the Jiushan Province’s Pavilion of Myriad Techniques, prepared for the “Immortal Revival” group.

The purchaser, Lin Fan, has disappeared from the world along with the Misthaven Ocean.

There was no fear of being traced.

As for the Golden Core fragment…

There were countless cultivators in this world who used the water element to form a Golden Core, and it was impossible to trace.

All preparations had been completed.

Li Fan concentrated his spirit and began to condense the clone.

Seven days later.

“Cut!”

Li Fan severed the fate of the clone and its surrounding environment with his finger as a sword.

A series of vital energy flowed from the clone.

A brand new clone, with the Early Stage Golden Core strength, was thus born.

“You will be Xiao Fan!”

Dressed in clothes, Li Fan carefully examined the clone several times and said in satisfaction.
