Chapter 883: Recreating the Beast Wheel
Chapter 883: Recreating the Beast Wheel
The entire Empire Small World trembled under this terrifying force.
The ocean below surged with monstrous waves.
The city built upon the body of the Red Nine-Headed Beast quaked incessantly, seemingly on the verge of collapsing from the sky at any moment.
What frightened Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong the most was that under this immense pressure, not to mention the exotic beasts controlled by the Imperial Guards—even they themselves were overwhelmed by fear, unable to muster a single thought of resistance!
"The difference in strength is too vast. Even if we release that fused beast, it won’t be a match for this person!"
"If we forcefully resist, he could destroy the entire empire with a single thought."
Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong exchanged glances, their eyes filled with helplessness and unwillingness.
"We can only feign submission for now and look for another opportunity later."
That was their conclusion.
"Senior, we are willing to surrender." Xiao Qing bit her silver teeth lightly and bowed.
"Hmph. Don't think I don’t know what you’re plotting."
Seeing this, Li Fan retracted the illusory projection of his Cave-heaven.
His gaze swept back and forth between Qing and Hong. "You’d be better off abandoning those little schemes. The Federation of All Worlds has been watching you for a long time."
"I know all about your so-called trump cards, clear as day."
"Even if [Emperor Yi] himself came, I wouldn't fear him—let alone his poor imitation."
Li Fan’s words were beyond arrogant, but to Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong—who had no understanding of his true strength—they were utterly shocking.
Li Fan’s unfathomable gaze sent chills through their hearts.
The Myriad Phenomena Fusion Beast was an absolute secret of the Empire.
Only the Emperors of past generations and the two of them knew about it.
And yet, this powerful figure from the Federation of All Worlds—whom they had never heard of before—was fully aware of it?
Did that mean they had no secrets at all in his eyes?
More importantly, they had no idea when this information had leaked.
A sense of despair and fear surged within them.
Not even when they were in the Beast Taming Sect, facing Longevity Immortal Realm experts, had they ever felt so powerless.
"Let’s go. Take me to the Empire’s treasury."
Seeing that his intimidation had done its job, Li Fan spoke casually.
Now that they were at his mercy, Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong had completely abandoned the idea of resistance.
They could only obey his command.
Soon, Li Fan arrived at the Empire’s treasure vault—a place filled with countless rare treasures and ancient records.
It was no different from what he had seen in his previous life.
After a brief tour and a final inspection of the Myriad Phenomena Fusion Beast, Li Fan revealed his true purpose.
"Hand over Xu Ke’s research notes on the [Ten Thousand Reincarnation Beast Wheel] as well."
Li Fan turned to face Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong, his voice deep and commanding.
The moment those words left his mouth, the two bird-women were unable to maintain their composure.
"Who exactly are you?!"
Xiao Qing’s beautiful eyes were full of shock, and her body trembled slightly.
This man not only knew their master’s name, Xu Ke, but also had detailed knowledge of his research on the Ten Thousand Reincarnation Beast Wheel.
And then there were the words "Federation of All Worlds"…
A single possibility surfaced in Xiao Qing’s mind.
"The Beast Taming Sect?"
Seeing the utter shock on her face, Li Fan let out a sinister smile.
"What? Are you planning to resist?"
"Fine then, I’ll grant your wish."
"Tsk tsk tsk, that brat Xu Ke… If he knew about your deaths, he’d be heartbroken." Li Fan chuckled darkly.
Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong quickly spoke up, "Senior, this is a misunderstanding..."
"Wait, senior, what do you mean?"
The two of them stared blankly at Li Fan.
"You heard me correctly. That brat Xu Ke… is still alive."
Li Fan snorted coldly.
This revelation was too shocking. Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong nearly lost their balance.
"Enough. Stop wasting time."
"Death…"
"Or submission!"
Seeing the impatience on Li Fan’s face, Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong felt a tightening in their hearts.
"We..."
"We are willing to submit," Xiao Qing bowed her head and said.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally handed over a jade pendant engraved with a Azure Luan Bird.
This jade pendant had originally belonged to Xu Ke. Over the years, she had always carried it with her.
Now, as she handed it over, her eyes were filled with reluctance.
At the same time, Xu Ke’s image faintly surfaced in her mind.
While she was lost in thought, Li Fan had already read through the contents of the jade pendant.
"Beast-Controlling Wheel…
"As expected of the supreme treasure of the Beast Taming Sect, its mysteries are profound."
Back in the day, after the Beast Taming Sect migrated to a small world to seek refuge, they gathered their elite disciples to research the Beast-Controlling Wheel, attempting to find a way to control demonic beasts without practicing the sect’s true Beast Control Technique.
Whether they ultimately succeeded or not, Li Fan did not know.
However, Xu Ke, who later fled, managed to develop the Heart-Linking Technique on his own, using it to control the exotic beasts of the empire’s small world.
Li Fan had long known about the Heart-Linking Technique.
What truly intrigued him was the mystery behind the Beast-Controlling Wheel itself.
And Xu Ke, who had been recognized by Mr. Bai and had pioneered a lineage within the empire, was indeed an unparalleled genius.
The jade pendant contained far more detailed records of the Beast-Controlling Wheel than Li Fan had anticipated.
"With such thorough information, once the True Cauldron of the Medicine King returns, Fang Zaiji might be able to forge a weakened version of the Beast-Controlling Wheel."
Though there was still some time before the Medicine King Sect returned, Li Fan had already assigned their tasks in advance.
Seeing Xiao Qing's dazed and despondent expression, Li Fan chuckled and tossed the jade pendant back to her.
"I know about your plan to escape the Xuanhuang Realm..."
"But let me make it very clear— that is nothing but a road to death."
"Beyond the endless void, the dangers are far greater than those in the Xuanhuang Realm..."
Li Fan sighed slightly, then his expression became serious.
"The only path to survival is to join our Federation of All Worlds, counterattack the cultivation world, and reclaim the Xuanhuang Realm!"
Hearing these words, Xiao Qing became even more convinced of her judgment.
This so-called Federation of All Worlds was indeed formed by sects that had fled to various small worlds during ancient times.
"Your place here is weak, yes, but it has some unique advantages."
Li Fan commented, then assigned them a task.
"For example, your spiritual energy synthesis technology is highly valuable for many small worlds that lack spiritual energy."
"However, the efficiency is still far too low."
"Even if you exhaust your entire world raising exotic beasts solely for slaughter, it still wouldn’t be enough to meet the needs of multiple small worlds."
"Therefore..."
Feeling Li Fan’s gaze, Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong shuddered.
"Upgrade the spiritual energy synthesis technology at all costs."
"I’m giving you three years. In three years, I will return for an inspection."
"If the results satisfy me, there will be rewards."
"If not… well..."
"Useless people living is just a waste of resources. It’d be better for them to die sooner rather than later."
Li Fan let out a sinister, chilling laugh, his words filled with murderous intent.
