Chapter 968: The Conference of the Dharma Transmitters
"What a tremendous force…"
Li Fan, sensing the immense power he currently wielded, felt a fleeting moment of awe, even with his vast experience and resolute mindset.
Although the gap between a Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereign and an ordinary cultivator was as vast as the heavens and the abyss, when the number of ants reached a certain scale, it was enough to bridge that divide!
For instance, at this moment, after clashing divine senses with Mo Rubin, the Ancient Immortal Dharma King of the Xuantian Sect, Li Fan was certain that with the divine senses of over a million cultivators at his command, he could easily crush this Dharma King.
Li Fan even had a feeling that if he continued to expand like this, after absorbing the majority of the cultivators in the Xuanhuang Realm…
He might be able to confront a Dharma-Transmitter head-on and remaining undefeated.
Once this inner desire took root, it was nearly impossible to suppress.
Especially as the million illusory gods and demons he controlled seemed to sense Li Fan’s thoughts, all emitting faint whispers, attempting to seduce him.
Under normal circumstances, almost no cultivator could resist the temptation of ascending to the heavens in a single step.
The inevitable outcome would be losing their original heart, sinking endlessly into eternal expansion until all cultivators perished.At that point, whether the instigator of it all would ascend to immortality or fall into annihilation along with the world…
No one could know.
But Li Fan was different.
Firstly, he was protected by the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra. Secondly, beyond these million gods and demons, he wielded other powers of equal magnitude.
Moreover, he possessed [Truth], a transcendent existence above all else.
How could Li Fan abandon the root for the branch, losing his mind to a mere million gods and demons?
Let alone a million, even if there were ten million gods and demons or the power of a True Immortal, it would be a fool’s dream to tempt him to abandon [Truth]!
It could be said that [Truth] was Li Fan’s greatest spiritual anchor, ensuring he would never be swayed by external temptations or forget his original heart.
Unless, one day, he encountered an existence even greater than [Truth]…
At this moment, Li Fan’s expression was as cold as eternal ice. The power of the Dao Deviation Stone was pushed to its limit as he strove to control each god and demon.
His thoughts split into a million, placing an immense burden on the mid-grade Dao Deviation Stone.
However, with the assistance of Li Fan’s own vast divine sense, he barely managed to maintain basic control.
"If the numbers increase further, I’ll only be able to let them act on instinct. Without my precise control, they’d just be mindless beasts, and their combat strength would drop significantly. But they’d still be sufficient for causing chaos." Ȑ₳ɴȪΒÊŚ
Within half a day, chaos erupted across the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s territory.
The grassroots forces were almost entirely paralyzed.
Each divine thought avatar possessed combat strength equivalent to the weakest Soul Transformation cultivator.
Even in the central four states of the Immortal Alliance, the number of Soul Transformation cultivators was not large.
Faced with the overwhelming onslaught of countless gods and demons, they could only choose to temporarily avoid the storm.
Soul Transformation cultivators acted this way, and those at the Dao Integration level were no different.
After all, their lives were their own, and reaching the Dao Integration realm was no easy feat.
With such a ferocious enemy assault, whoever rushed forward first would surely face a siege.
What if they fell?
…
The objective environment of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance led to the cultivators sharing nearly identical thoughts.
This also caused the million gods and demons controlled by Li Fan to feel, for a moment, as if they were entering an unmanned realm, invincible and unstoppable.
It seemed as though they were about to completely bring down the flourishing Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.
Meanwhile.
At the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance headquarters.
In a boundless space, where everything in sight was a vast expanse of white.
A bolt of lightning erupted from the center of the space, followed by projections of worlds appearing one after another, illuminating every corner of the space.
The scenes varied: some featured endless mountain ranges hidden beneath a sea of clouds, others displayed boundless bamboo forests brimming with vibrant green, or majestic imperial palaces exuding grandeur, and even dreamlike vistas with towering buildings amidst a sea of neon lights.
In the projection of each world, there seemed to be a blurry human face.
They appeared in this pale, white space.
"Jiang, tell us what's going on," a somewhat frivolous voice rang out.
It came from the world of the boundless bamboo forest.
Following this, beams of light and shadow emerged one after another in the center of these world projections.
They all depicted scenes of gods and demons wreaking havoc, with the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance suffering greatly.
"That's the situation. These divine consciousness constructs appeared extremely suspiciously, with no prior warning, and they erupted suddenly."
"Except for the core administrative area of Tiancheng, nearly all regions have fallen."
A solemn voice spoke slowly, briefing the gathered Dharma Transmitters on the current state of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.
The voice came from the world of the imperial palace.
"Interesting. So many divine consciousness constructs... could they be the lingering regrets of the cultivators who perished in the Xuanhuang Realm over the years?"
"Useless trash. They can't even organize a decent counterattack!"
"I don't think it's that they can't, but that they don't want to. A bunch of ungrateful wolves..."
The Dharma Transmitters spoke one after another, their tones uniformly relaxed, showing no trace of concern over the fall of the Immortal Alliance.
"Jiang, what do you think?"
The Dharma Transmitters suddenly fell silent, their gazes collectively turning toward an unremarkable world.
There were no splendid buildings, no magnificent natural scenery.
Only a void.
A solitary figure sat in the midst of that void.
Jiang's gaze remained fixed on the countless scenes in the center, ignoring the inquiries of the other Dharma Transmitters.
Yet the other Dharma Transmitters seemed to hold great respect for Jiang, all patiently waiting without showing the slightest dissatisfaction.
After an unknown amount of time, Dharma Transmitter Jiang spoke, "Behind these divine consciousness constructs, there is only one person."
"Find him, and this matter will be resolved."
At these words, the other Dharma Transmitters all showed expressions of surprise.
"Such power... even an ordinary Longevity Immortal Realm cultivator couldn't achieve this, right? Which one stooped to such sneaky tactics?"
"Wait, now that you mention it, I seem to recall something. Long ago, there was a technique in the Xuanhuang Realm that behaved remarkably similar to this."
"Hm?"
...
Regardless of the other Dharma Transmitters' reactions, Jiang continued his analysis, "As you all have said, someone with such strength would not act without purpose. Releasing these millions of gods and demons..."
"It's likely just a smokescreen to conceal his true objective."
"True objective?" Jiang's reasoning gained the agreement of most of the Dharma Transmitters. They began to ponder.
Some, perhaps thinking of something, showed subtle expressions on their faces.
Their gazes swept over the others present.
Dharma-Transmitter Jiang, without glancing sideways, continued, "No need for mutual suspicion."
"At this level of strength, the things one might covet are only a few."
"Whether they choose to fish in troubled waters or seize by force, we only need to address the source to resolve it."
