Chapter 1108 - 1063: Facing the Crisis
At first, the Immortal Alliance had some restraining influence on the cultivators who were gradually losing their sanity, and the Immortal Cities of the Various States were relatively safe.
However, as the confrontations intensified and both sides saw red, the prohibitions of the Alliance ceased to be effective.
Words would hardly be exchanged before cultivators would fight to the death in the midst of the city.
In the beginning, the punitive Array Techniques within the cities were still effective. The towering Dharma Transmitter Statues would cast down white beams of light, annihilating cultivators who violated the laws.
But as the number of deadly fights amongst cultivators increased, even the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals began to have significant reservations.
It would only selectively activate the city’s Great Array.
This tactic of not holding the multitude accountable undoubtedly encouraged the cultivators’ frenzied fighting behaviors.
Under the fanatical atmosphere, even the remaining cultivators in the Xuanhuang World who had relatively calm mindsets began to change, slowly getting involved in the mutual slaughter.
The mutual slaughter amongst cultivators was not only manifested in their current lives.
Even grudges within the Tianxuan Mirror could lead to bloodshed.
A mysterious character known as [Real] started to gain fame amongst the cultivators, from an unknown time.
The origin of this person was unclear, but their Divine Technique was vast. As long as you shared a secret about yourself, they could provide you with the true identity of the cultivator behind the Tianxuan Mirror account you wished to track!
Initially, the cultivators were somewhat skeptical.
But practice yields truth.
Over a hundred cultivators who were suddenly sought out by enemies and met tragic ends, were the best proof of [Real]’s strength!
You see, in the past, it wasn’t uncommon for cultivators to quarrel over some trifling matter in the Tianxuan Mirror and then bear grudges against each other.
But because all information in the Tianxuan Mirror was strictly confidential, it was impossible to even understand the nature of these feuds. People could only vent their frustration with empty words from afar.
Now, the emergence of [Real] has changed everything!
Have you ever offended someone recklessly in the past and don’t want to be caught unprepared when they suddenly come for revenge?
Then why not strike first?!
With the covert encouragement from [Real], the frequency of vendetta incidents within the Immortal Alliance once again escalated.
The strange phenomena of cultivators falling from the sky had become the norm.
The End of The World Plan was progressing quite smoothly, but Li Fan’s mood wasn’t as optimistic.
Inside the Hundred Stone Cave Heaven of Shilin State.
Two figures, extremely alike in stature, stood before a Small Tianxuan Mirror.
One of them was Li Fan’s original self.
The other was a Fairy Puppet Body, forged for Li Fan by the Craftsman as per his orders during this time.
Without utilizing the Essence of Source Power, the strength of the Puppet Body couldn’t reach the level comparable to Tianyang’s, which was akin to the Immortal Realm.
However, Li Fan wasn’t concerned with the Puppet’s actual combat strength, but rather valued its perfect fusion with a cultivator’s essence.
At this moment, the Origin of the Mirror bestowed by the Tianxuan Mirror had already been transferred into this Fairy Puppet.
Incidentally, to deal with the imminent visit from Dharma Transmitter Jiang, Li Fan also modified the consciousness implanted in the Fairy Puppet.
In its cognition, it truly believed itself to be a member of the vast United Federation of All Realms, tasked with hunting down the remnants of the Mystic Sky Sect.
Regarding [Even True] and any other secrets belonging to Li Fan’s original self, however, there were none whatsoever.
Naturally, the Fairy Puppet Li Fan assumed the role of the up-and-coming, widely acclaimed [Real].
He used the authority of the Origin of the Mirror not only to greatly advance the process of cultivators slaughtering each other but also to obtain many secret innermost thoughts of cultivators.
Although some seemed to hold no value at all, as long as they were collected, they might prove useful in some future reincarnation.
At this moment, the Fairy Puppet Li Fan was diligently playing the role of [Real].
Li Fan’s original self stood to the side, his brows slightly furrowed.
"At this stage, neither Mo Rubing nor Tianxuan Mirror have taken any action?"
"Only the possessor of the Origin of the Mirror can access the encrypted information of the Tianxuan Mirror. Mo Rubing should have realized by now that I’ve been manipulating a series of End of The World events from behind the scenes."
"But I’ve never noticed anyone following this lead to investigate..."
"It’s the same with Mo Rubing and the Tianxuan Mirror, even the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals. Mo Rubing hasn’t shared information with the Immortal Alliance."
"Am I being completely ignored?"
"Or are they too preoccupied with matters of greater urgency?"
Even though his Spirit Consciousness had already run through countless possible scenarios, the current situation involved too many different factors.
Everything going smoothly according to plan was unrealistic from the start.
Li Fan could only react to each move as it came.
But what he hadn’t anticipated was that, before he could even begin the third step of his plan, an unforeseen change occurred, catching him off guard.
That day, after a battle involving hundreds of cultivators came to an end.
A strange, blood-red vortex appeared out of nowhere, swallowing all the brewing signs of the fallen cultivators!
The blood-red vortex materialized at every spot in the Xuanhuang World where a cultivator had fallen.
There was a lot of speculation about the origin of the vortex.
However, it did not affect the increasingly intense killing intent in people’s hearts.
The massacre continued.
Li Fan, however, looked up at the growing number of bloody holes in the sky, faintly sensing an aura all too familiar to him.
"A reversal of life and death?"
"At this critical moment, is the Transcendence Heavenly Sovereign about to achieve ascension?"
As if to validate Li Fan’s conjecture.
Not long after, an endless stream of crimson light burst forth from the holes in the Sky Dome.
Beyond bathing the world in a blood-red hue, silhouettes of grand and towering palaces emerged on the Vault of Heaven.
The cultivators on the ground could not see the details of the palaces, but the central one, known as [Transcendence Mansion], was visible to all cultivators!
As the words [Transcendence Mansion] surfaced in their Spirit Consciousness, information about it naturally came to mind.
Death isn’t the true end, but a passage to reincarnation?
At this moment, all the cultivators simultaneously ceased their battling.
They were deeply shocked by this enormous change between Heaven and Earth.
The Transcendence Mansion that Li Fan had experienced in the past was different.
In this life, the Immortal Alliance had no control over its operation. It had become a Principle of Heaven and Earth unamenable to the normal law of cultivation. Apart from acting contrary to reason, no other method could influence it.
Accordingly, the specific details about reincarnation were unknown to the cultivators at this moment.
They only knew that from now on, a [Transcendence Mansion] existed in the world, which would completely change the pattern of the Xuanhuang World for the foreseeable future.
What happens during reincarnation, whether memories or cultivation bases remain intact afterward.
All these questions would only be answered after a cultivator had gone through the full cycle of reincarnation.
However, the fact that death does not lead to annihilation but to reincarnation directly affected the choices of the cultivators.
The psychological burden of taking a life once again greatly decreased.
Every Cultivator from Xuanhuang World transformed into extremely vicious beings, ready to fight to the death over the slightest grievance.
However, for Li Fan, the deaths of cultivators no longer meant danger to the Xuanhuang World, thus losing their significance.
"What’s the deal with this Transcendence Mansion?"
Li Fan took the initiative and confronted the Dharma Transmitter Zhou and others first.
What do you think?
