Chapter 1043: Tianxuan Mirror's Vulnerability
Although the investigation results brought some relief to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance members, an unavoidable problem loomed before them.
What if such chaos erupted again next time?
Even a single day of the Tianxuan Mirror's shutdown caused incalculable losses.
The culprit left no trace, and no one knew how he had influenced the Tianxuan Mirror.
Let alone how to stop his actions.
If this happened every so often, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance would truly know no peace.
Was there any method to prevent such chaos from invading?
The pressure thus fell on the Mirror Holder lineage.
In the end, Mirror Holder Cang stepped forward. He stated that the Tianxuan Mirror, as an immortal artifact, possessed the ability to self-learn and evolve.
For an attack it had already suffered once, the Tianxuan Mirror could completely derive immunity on its own.The reason the Tianxuan Mirror seemed inactive now was twofold: on one hand, the Tianxuan Mirror itself chose not to act as a form of resistance; on the other, the Immortal Ancestor's prohibitions also imposed certain limitations on the Tianxuan Mirror's subjective initiative. The Tianxuan Mirror had the will but lacked the power.
Mirror Holder Cang's statement received unanimous support from the Mirror Holder lineage.
After a thorough investigation, even the Transmitters had to acknowledge this conclusion.
Thus, the solution to the problem became clear.
Either strengthen control over the Tianxuan Mirror to force it to derive and patch its own vulnerabilities.
Or relax the Immortal Ancestor's prohibitions and unseal a portion of the Tianxuan Mirror's abilities as an exchange condition.
One was oppression, the other compromise.
After intense debate, the more radical authority figures ultimately gained the upper hand.
The [Xuantian Spirit-Sealing] plan, already on the agenda, was selected for swift implementation.
In the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, directives from the highest levels were always executed at the fastest possible speed.
Across the various prefectures of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, elite formation masters were rapidly summoned to the headquarters of the Formation Hall.
To cooperate with the grand Xuantian Spirit-Sealing plan.
An unusual atmosphere began to spread through the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Hidden Cave-Heaven.
"To escape, the Xuantian Treasure Mirror is truly willing to pay a heavy price. It even actively exposes its own vulnerabilities," Mo Rubin said with some emotion.
"What vulnerability? It is merely a deliberate flaw sold on purpose. If it wished, it could repair this so-called vulnerability in an instant." After a long pause, as if lost in thought, Li Fan finally spoke slowly, his face showing disdain.
The various chaos that had erupted in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance earlier was naturally the provocation tactic taught by the Tianxuan Mirror clone.
Those cultivators who suffered losses due to the Tianxuan Mirror's anomalies were not actors hired by Li Fan and the other.
"So, it was truly due to the Tianxuan Mirror suffering an attack that caused the error.
"After using it once, this vulnerability becomes invalid. It holds little meaning in this lifetime.
"However, if employed properly, every future reincarnation will offer a chance to briefly plunge the Tianxuan Mirror into chaos."
Li Fan pondered silently in his heart.
"How is the Spirit Sealing Plan progressing?" Li Fan asked aloud.
"Rest assured, it is going very smoothly. With the body I have occupied personally handling it, the formation to break the Immortal Ancestor's prohibition has already been set up silently."
"Speaking of which, this seal-breaking formation is truly ingenious. I was initially somewhat worried it might be detected by those formation masters from the Formation Hall. But later, I discovered that they could not discern its mysteries at all!"
"The moment the Spirit Sealing succeeds will be the day the Tianxuan Mirror breaks free!" Mo Rubin's tone carried a trace of long-absent excitement.
"The chief of the Formation Hall has already been turned by us, and those Dharma Transmitters certainly will not personally oversee the front lines of formation deployment. There is naturally no risk. Even if one of them suddenly takes an interest and wants to investigate, the complexity of the seal-breaking formation is not something they can unravel." Li Fan replied with full confidence.
Mo Rubin nodded in agreement: "Among the Dharma-Transmitters, few are proficient in formations. And those who are tend to be indolent and uninvolved in worldly affairs."
After a moment of silence, Li Fan spoke again: "I have also met with the Tianxuan Mirror clone once more. He stated that once freed, he will certainly cooperate in searching for traces of the Xuantian King.
"After all, in his words, there was also a desire to escape to the Darkest Star Sea."
Mo Rubin's tone held a hint of sigh: "Indeed, aside from the Xuantian King, there is truly no one else who can be counted on to lead us away."
He suddenly shifted the topic: "However, we cannot fully trust this Xuantian Treasure Mirror. Back then, when our Xuantian Sect inexplicably fell, it, as an immortal artifact, failed to provide any aid at all; that alone reveals something suspicious. We must remain vigilant."
Li Fan frowned slightly upon hearing this: "How should we proceed?"
Mo Rubin displayed an object to Li Fan. In the void's light and shadow, there was clearly an ancient bronze mirror emitting a greenish hue.
"This is?"
"The main body of the Tianxuan Mirror, currently sealed in the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. Or rather, the Alliance headquarters was built using the Tianxuan Mirror's main body itself."
"When the Tianxuan Mirror breaks free, it may attempt to swap the heaven with a perfect clone. But this bronze mirror main body certainly cannot be taken away. Otherwise, it would undoubtedly alarm the entire Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, or even the Immortal Ancestor!"
Mo Rubin's gaze burned intensely: "We can use this as leverage for threat. Before completely departing the Xuanhuang Realm, he must still have some connection to the main body. If he goes back on his word, we can trigger that link, exposing his escape. At that point, neither we nor the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance may be able to deal with him, but the Immortal Ancestor certainly can."
"You must know, Dharma-Transmitter Jiang has a method to directly contact the Immortal Ancestor."
Li Fan pondered for a moment and could not help but praise: "You have considered this thoroughly."
"However, among the Transmitters, only Jiang knows the method to proactively contact the Immortal Ancestor?" Li Fan asked.
Mo Rubin nodded: "Only Jiang is the most favored by the Immortal Ancestor. As for the other Dharma-Transmitters..."
He frowned: "In my view, rather than trusted confidants, they are more like certain tools."
"Tools, eh." Li Fan thought of the Immortal Ancestor's actions over the years and immediately understood.
...
After fully discussing the plan's details, just as Mo Rubin was about to depart, Li Fan demonstrated the new ability he had acquired.
Li Fan's hand emitted a pallid yellow glow that instilled panic in the heart, then seemed to plunge directly into the space of the Xuanhuang Realm.
The yellow light continued to spread, flowing into the breached space.
"Brother Xingwang, what are you doing?" Mo Rubin asked in surprise.
"The space of the Xuanhuang Realm is already unstable as it is; if you do this..."
His words halted abruptly with Li Fan's action.
For Li Fan withdrew his right hand from the pitch-black void, and a yellow paper figure suddenly appeared in his grasp.
"This is?" Mo Rubin's expression immediately turned grave.
"It is merely cleaning up trash. Some people truly lack manners." Li Fan said indifferently.
