Chapter 992: Perusing the Xuan Family's Secret History

Returning to the Spiritwood Realm, Li Fan began analyzing the information provided by Mo Rujin about the Mirror Holder [Cang]'s lineage.

The portion about Cang actually did not contain much.

It was only known that Cang was also a survivor after the great calamity. When the Immortal Ancestor reestablished the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, besides the Dharma Transmitters responding one after another, this "one who understands the times is a wise man" Cang also ascended to heaven in one step due to surrendering at the first opportunity.

Of course, the internal analysis of the Dharma Transmitters on Cang indicated that there must be other factors for this person to become the Mirror Holder. He must have had extremely special reasons to be selected by the Immortal Ancestor.

Regarding Cang's daughter, Immortal Sage Scarlet Snow Xuan Sushang, the information became noticeably more abundant.

Xuan Sushang was born before Cang joined the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance. Her mother perished in a cultivators' conflict when she was very young, sacrificing herself to protect Cang.

The father and daughter depended on each other, so Cang doted on Xuan Sushang extremely.

Especially after Cang gradually gained great power, he was even more unstinting in his rewards to Xuan Sushang.

According to incomplete statistics, just in the central four prefectures of the Immortal Alliance, Xuan Sushang's cave abodes and territories numbered over two hundred, large and small.

It was said that Xuan Sushang's cultivation aptitude was actually average, but at her level, even if the aptitude was poor, it could be fully compensated with sufficient resources.

Especially under the new method framework.

Xuan Sushang smoothly cultivated all the way to the Dao Integration realm.

It was said that on the day she sacrificed and refined the Spirit of Heaven and Earth: Scarlet Snow, Cang dispatched a full five Dao Integration powerhouses to escort her and ensure no accidents occurred.

After Xuan Sushang advanced to Dao Integration, she finally gained a bit more freedom.

Previously, Cang did not allow her to leave the jurisdiction of the Immortal Alliance's central four prefecture. Moreover, wherever she went, he would send people to follow and watch her.

Thus, after liberation, Xuan Sushang spent nearly a hundred years touring the vast majority of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance's territories.

During this period, her specific whereabouts could only be roughly investigated.

After having enough fun, Xuan Sushang finally settled down. Perhaps due to interest, she began to immerse herself in studying the path of artifact refinement. The Immortal Alliance's Artifact Refinement Hall was fully open to her, allowing Xuan Sushang to learn the most advanced artifact refinement knowledge of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.

Her artifact refinement level advanced by leaps and bounds, gaining great fame and becoming known throughout the world by successfully refining a set of peerless battle armor capable of withstanding the combined attack of five Dao Integration cultivators.

After that...

It seemed as if she had played enough; she gradually became low-key.

Aside from occasional interactions with a few friends like the chief of the Strategy Formation Hall, Lu Xichan, she basically did not appear in the public eye during other times. 𝘙ἁꞐỒᛒÊṥ

Until she suddenly issued the announcement of a martial arts bride selection tournament, once again shocking the world.

Then, with no one stepping up to challenge, it ended in farce with Xuan Sushang inexplicably becoming pregnant.

Xuan Sushang's son was Shuo Feng.

He appeared as if out of thin air, without a ten-month pregnancy or any information about his father.

Just as Cang's doting on Xuan Sushang was somewhat distorted, Xuan Sushang's discipline of Shuo Feng was nearly harsh.

According to the information, until Shuo Feng reached Nascent Soul, he had not stepped out of that cave abode in Tianquan Prefecture.

He could only glimpse the outside world through the Tianxuan Mirror.

This situation improved after Shuo Feng successfully reached Soul Transformation and strenuously resisted.

However, Shuo Feng still had to wear the Golden Light Battle Armor specially refined for him by Xuan Sushang whenever he went out.

According to the Dharma Transmitters' secret investigation, this Golden Light Battle Armor not only had perverse defensive capabilities, enough to withstand a combined strike from over ten Dao Integration cultivators.

It even defended the soul as solidly as a fortress.

After the Golden Light Battle Armor disintegrated due to damage, it could directly transfer Shuo Feng to a safe location.

...

"Every so often, Shuo Feng must report and pay respects to Scarlet Snow Immortal Sage."

"Although their meeting locations are not fixed and are notified in advance, the most likely ones can still be deduced..."

"The next time should be in twenty-three days."

Li Fan looked at the names and information of the five circled cave abodes and could not help but sigh slightly: "Even with my speed of earning contribution points, to buy even one such cave abode would probably take over a decade."

"This kid was born without knowing how many he has."

The image of Shuo Feng's face reappeared before Li Fan's eyes.

"At this point in time, he should not yet have the intention to completely recultivate; he is still at the Soul Transformation realm."

"I do not know what stimulus he received to make such an impulsive decision."

"Actually, the safest method is to wait like a hunter at the Heavenly Sword Sect's Sword Tomb and capture him without anyone noticing."

"Unfortunately, time is a bit short. Moreover, I have to capture Xuan Sushang together..."

Blue light constantly flickered from the Dao Deviation Stone in his mind; Li Fan integrated the various forces he controlled and began deducing.

"If it is just to trap and capture alive, it should not be a big problem."

"Even I alone am barely sufficient, not to mention with Tianyang, Hundred Flowers, and the others assisting."

"Hmm... but I should still pull Mo Rubin along."

The various moves, divine abilities used by Xuan Sushang and Shuo Feng during cultivation and sparring in the Tianxuan Mirror, as well as the general information on their cultivation techniques, all appeared before Li Fan's eyes.

Comparing the strengths of both sides, countless possible future scenes flashed in Li Fan's mind.

"As the direct descendants of the Mirror Holder, they should be well aware that the information in the Tianxuan Mirror is by no means secret. I believe their true combat power is absolutely not limited to what is on the surface."

"Fortunately, I have many trump cards as well."

...

After a day and night's deduction, Li Fan was nearly confident about this ambush.

Next, it was a matter of waiting for the arrival of the best opportunity to strike.

While waiting, Li Fan took out the Lifeless Formation Crown and the Ink-Stained Evil Tome gifted by Mo Rubin to study them.

The Lifeless Formation Crown was like a living thing; under a rough scan of divine sense, the internal formations were like countless ferocious beasts slaughtering each other, mutually devouring and evolving.

The efficiency naturally could not compare to the Nine Discs United Dissociation Disc, but it also gave Li Fan a bit of new inspiration.

If Mo Rubin failed to obtain the Dissociation Disc, perhaps he could split the Final Dissociation Disc back into two and let them confront each other.

It might deduce new techniques even more efficiently.

Li Fan tried feeding the Lifeless Formation Crown to the Dissociation Disc, but unfortunately, the Dissociation Disc was not interested in it at all. It did not even bother to look.

On the contrary, sensing the aura of the Final Dissociation Disc, the countless formations composing the Lifeless Formation Crown instantly became restless.

Li Fan shook his head slightly and directly suppressed and sealed this treasure.

"It barely counts as a good item, but unfortunately, it is useless to me. The advanced version of the Xuantian Spirit-Sealing Formation has long been deduced; wanting a formation deduction treasure is just an excuse."
