Chapter 990: The Tianxuan Incarnation

Li Fan’s eyes flickered. “There’s actually such a treasure! Even if we can’t use it for now, let’s collect it first. We can’t let it fall into someone else’s hands, or it might be used against us to unravel the Xuantian Nether Lock Formation.”

Mo Rubin pondered for a moment, then nodded. “Brother Xingwang is right. Such a powerful artifact must not be leaked. I’ll make arrangements once I return.”

Li Fan let out a low, sinister laugh.

“By the way, Brother Xingwang, apart from strengthening the Xuantian Nether Lock Formation, I have another matter I need your help with. It concerns the Xuantian Mirror. After much thought, I realized only you can handle it with confidence.” Mo Rubin suddenly said.

“Hmph, we’re brothers. Why speak so politely?” Li Fan replied with mild irritation, glaring at Mo Rubin.

Seeing that the matter was serious, Mo Rubin hesitated briefly, then placed an additional layer of restriction around them.

Only then did he speak in a low voice. “According to my latest investigation, during the years when the Xuantian Mirror has been under the control of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, it’s highly possible that it created a human incarnation. I need you to find this incarnation and destroy it completely, cutting off all paths of retreat.” A glint of killing intent flashed in Mo Rubin’s eyes.

Li Fan looked visibly shocked.

“The Xuantian Mirror created a human incarnation? How is that possible?”

Mo Rubin replied gravely, “When I first learned of this, I was just as shocked. But thinking it over, it makes sense. The mirror was integrated into the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance under a mix of coercion and cooperation. An immortal artifact with its own spirit would never willingly remain enslaved forever. Creating a human form to seek freedom is a logical step.”

“Don’t worry, Brother Xingwang. To avoid detection by the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, the incarnation’s strength will not be high. With your power, as long as you locate it, you will definitely be able to kill it.”

“I’ll also lend you an artifact to ensure success.” As he spoke, Mo Rubin took out a pitch-black metallic book.

“This is the Ink-Stained Evil Tome. It is especially effective against artifact spirits and divine tools. Once it locks onto the target, it releases countless streams of black light to contaminate and suppress it. With this treasure, Brother Xingwang, you will not fail.”

Li Fan snorted. “It’s only an incarnation. Even without this so-called Ink-Stained Evil Tome, I could still kill it.”

Yet despite his words, he still accepted the dark artifact, tucking it away.

Then he frowned slightly. “But where do I even start looking for the Xuantian Mirror’s incarnation? It must be well hidden. Will there be enough time?”

Mo Rubin replied confidently, “The Immortal Ancestor has long suspected that the Xuantian Mirror created an incarnation, and a secret investigation has been ongoing for some time. Until recently, there were no concrete results. But just a short while ago, the subordinates of Dharma-Transmitter Feng finally found decisive evidence. For now, only I know of this matter—it hasn’t yet been reported to the Five Elders Association.”

“Oh?” Li Fan’s eyes lit up with interest.

"The Tianxuan Treasure Mirror has always been managed by the Mirror Holder. If we're talking about dividing the human body, without the Mirror Holder acting as an inside man, it's fundamentally impossible. We've preliminarily confirmed that one of the Mirror Holders, [Cang], is that traitor!"

"Cang's daughter is the somewhat famous Scarlet Snow Immortal Sage in the Immortal Alliance. Several years ago, this woman inexplicably became pregnant and gave birth to a son. I suspect it might be related to the Xuantian Treasure Mirror!" Mo Rubing recounted. ŔâΝОＢÈS̈

“You mean, the son of that Scarlet Snow Immortal Sage is the incarnation of the Xuantian Mirror?” Li Fan narrowed his eyes.

The image of Shuo Feng suddenly surfaced in his mind.

“I can’t rule out that possibility. Back then, Scarlet Snow held a grand martial contest for marriage, making quite a spectacle. Then she abruptly became pregnant, shocking the entire world.”

“It was too conspicuous, as if deliberately staged to draw attention. Perhaps it was all a ruse, using Shuo Feng to conceal the true incarnation of the Xuantian Mirror.”

“In any case, that family is definitely connected to the Tianxuan Realm. Not long ago, we discovered that in Scarlet Snow’s data within the Mirror, there was a single entry, something that only the Xuantian Mirror itself has permission to alter—that changed without any record of modification.”

Mo Rubin’s eyes darkened as he finished his explanation.

“Immortal Sage Scarlet Snow... how strong is she?” Li Fan did not bother to ask for details and went straight to the point.

“Her strength is rather ordinary. However, she is skilled in artifact refinement. Cang dotes on her greatly, providing her with an unlimited supply of materials, which allowed her to master a remarkable level of refining arts. But in the end, it is still a minor path. Brother Xingwang, you excel in soul-based attacks. If you strike by surprise, she will definitely not be your match,” Mo Rubin said with confidence in Sun Xingwang’s abilities.

“I excel in soul-based attacks...” Li Fan was momentarily stunned, then suddenly understood.

“Indeed.”

Seeing this, Mo Rubin thought for a moment and then added, “If, at that time, Brother Xingwang, you find yourself uncertain, summon the divine-demonic avatar I am attached to.”

“At that moment, I can transmit part of my power. Together, she will have no chance of survival.”

As he spoke, Mo Rubin transmitted an internal investigation report regarding the Cang lineage within the Dharma-Transmitter Order.

Unlike other great powers with complex hierarchies, this lineage consisted only of three members: Cang, Feixue, and Shuo Feng, a single line of inheritance.

Yet the sheer amount of resources they possessed, as revealed in the report, was astonishing.

“The places where Scarlet Snow often appears have already been marked.”

“She is extremely fond of her son Shuo Feng, and every so often she summons him for a meeting. Most of the time, they meet in her private cave-dwelling outside the Immortal Alliance Heavenly City.”

“So it would be best to strike when they meet, capturing them both in one sweep,” Mo Rubin said solemnly.

Li Fan nodded in agreement.

“As long as we destroy the Xuantian Mirror’s clone and sever its retreat, then use a Spirit-Sealing Formation to suppress it, we can have a talk with the Xuantian Mirror.”

“Otherwise, that thing will still act arrogantly.” Mo Rubin’s tone carried some displeasure.

“Arrogant, huh.” Li Fan recalled that cold, mechanical voice he had once heard in the Tianxuan Realm.

The two continued discussing the details of their plan before Mo Rubin prepared to leave.

Just as he was about to step out of the hidden cave-dwelling, Li Fan suddenly spoke. “After thousands of years apart, we brothers finally meet again. Why not rejoin the sect of the True Immortal of Salvation and Mortal Compassion?”

As he spoke, the faint shadow of a Faceless Stone Statue slowly manifested in the air.

Mo Rubin glanced up at it, instinctively taking a half step back.

A trace of fear flickered in his eyes, but he said nothing.

He merely shook his head and drifted away into the distance.

“Brother Xingwang, before you leave, take a closer look around this cave-dwelling. You might find something worthwhile.”

His voice echoed faintly through the cavern as his figure vanished completely.

Li Fan stood in silence for a moment, then began examining the cave again.

In an unremarkable corner, he noticed a spiderweb that had somehow appeared without him realizing it.
