Chapter 1885: Chapter 1497 Immortal World’s Entire Sects

“[Bearing the Dao].” Li Fan savored these two words.

He then solemnly clasped his hands and respectfully said, “Lead by example, voluntarily enter the net. Brother Dao’s actions, I admire. But…”

Li Fan sneered coldly, “You may be called a gentleman, but I am just a small figure with occasional opportunities. I just want to live.”

Pointing to the surrounding Heavenly Pillars, Li Fan said with candor, “Without Master’s shadow and the protection of these Nameless Heavenly Pillars, this Starry Sky would’ve surely collapsed. To be honest, Brother Dao, I was born without a sense of security, fearing that one day the Path-obliterating Calamity would arrive suddenly, and Master’s shadow might not be enough to protect us. Wanting to reinforce the structures a bit is quite normal, right?”

Li Fan spoke with an air of ease.

Anyone who heard it would find it hard to associate the “minor fortifications” he mentioned with the Nameless True Immortals.

“Although I wish to emulate Master and bear the Dao with shadows, unfortunately, my comprehension falls short, my qualifications are lacking. I truly am powerless, I can only resort to opportunism.”

“Brother Dao, being able to weave such a grand Dao Network, must possess extraordinary cultivation. Could you teach me?”

Li Fan smiled, lightly waving his hand.

Before him, the figure of Lord Guardian Hill sitting on a mountain looking into the sea suddenly appeared.

Countless lights and shadows continuously changed around the figure of Lord Guardian Hill.

This was precisely Li Fan’s interpretation of [Rambles from the Guarded Hill].

Upon seeing the image of his Master, Cheng Dao Wu Ming immediately became serious.

He first bowed, then carefully observed.

Witnessing this, Li Fan suddenly comprehended. His worries in his heart were mostly dispelled.

Cheng Dao Wu Ming was not merely perfunctory.

He thoroughly studied Li Fan’s insights and even explained them on the spot.

Truly worthy of being a Nameless strongman who attained [Bearing the Dao], nearly identical to the feeling brought when inheriting from Lord Guardian Hill’s shadow.

Like a sage by the side, imparting wisdom. Li Fan was entranced, nearly forgetting the danger he was in. He frequently asked questions, presenting all the inquiries he had accumulated over the century of enlightenment.

Cheng Dao Wu Ming also spared no words in his explanation.

Li Fan’s confusion was completely resolved, leaving him overjoyed.

The time spent teaching the Dao seemed to pass in a mere moment.

Once the image of Lord Guardian Hill gradually faded, Cheng Dao Wu Ming once again fixated on Li Fan.

“Confusion can be resolved, sins are difficult to erase.”

“You have acted recklessly, relying on your Master’s inheritance, you deserve to be punished.”

“Death penalties can be avoided, but living punishments cannot be escaped!”

“Your punishment is to join me in residing deep in the Dao Network, to reflect behind closed doors!”

As Cheng Dao Wu Ming spoke in a deep voice, a sapphire brilliance abruptly erupted, enveloping Li Fan entirely.

Li Fan saw clearly, what was before him was not just blue light.

It was clearly numerous dense Dao Strings overlapping!

Each one seemed to carry the weight of a Heavenly Pillar.

With Cheng Dao Wu Ming’s move, it was as if he was casting the entire Dao Network down upon Li Fan.

“The old man is truly strong!”

Li Fan was secretly astounded.

But he was not afraid, instead, he became interested.

Since his life was not in danger, he might as well spar with the opponent.

It had been quite a while since Li Fan had ascended to immortality that he had encountered an opponent worthy of a fair contest.

“Illusion as Reality!”

Li Fan first silently recited in his heart.

The rapidly approaching Dao Network suddenly grasped nothingness.

Clearly Li Fan was standing there, yet like a mortal fishing net forever unable to scoop water. The rules shielding Li Fan at this moment, transcended the great Dao. Naturally, it was impossible to be captured by the Dao Network.

“Brother Dao, watch my methods now.”

Facing Cheng Dao Wu Ming’s astonishment and uncertainty, Li Fan sneered with a grin.

With a slight flick of his fingers, countless threads entangled along the sapphire Dao Network.

The Net formed by Ink-Killing Immortal Soul simultaneously eroded Cheng Dao Wu Ming’s comprehension of the great Dao.

In reality, it manifested as unsteady shimmering blue light within the Dao Network.

Shadows constantly spawned everywhere.

The inherent counter to the great Dao by Ink-Killing resulted in the Dao Network having no resistance at all for a time, allowing Li Fan’s devouring.

Countless insights into the great Dao surged endlessly into Li Fan’s heart.

The efficiency was even far beyond the previous devouring of the Tiandu Grandmaster.

Li Fan keenly detected that within this, it was not solely Cheng Dao Wu Ming’s insights. There were remnants of those Nameless True Immortals who were once sealed within the Dao Network.

“Crooked paths!”

Just as Li Fan gleefully pilfered, Cheng Dao Wu Ming shouted loudly.

The blue Dao Network, which had been swaying inconsistently under the onslaught of shadows, abruptly stabilised.

It no longer seemed like a solitary net, but rather as if there was ample support behind it.

Seeing the blue halo before him, Li Fan couldn’t help but feel an illusion of facing a mountain and sea.

“Profound as the sea, steady as a mountain.”

“The great Dao is formless, its root lies outside.”

Li Fan suddenly experienced a revelation.

His Net of the Infinite Aspects, although derived over a century and having devoured many Dao.

Both in scale and power, it was indeed not weak.

But Li Fan always felt in his heart that the foundation of his Dao Network wasn’t very stable.

Against those weaker than him, that was easy to say.

If encountering someone stronger, or on equal ground. Then just a gentle push might dissolve the so-called Net of the Infinite Aspects, causing it to fall apart.

The Dao Network, while woven with infinite aspects, could not securely bind the enemy.

Yet the Dao Network woven by Cheng Dao Wu Ming lacked these drawbacks entirely.

Like a palm pressing down, anchoring the unsteady Dao Network in place.

Just as Li Buren previously relied on the power of the Infinite Sky Pillar to wreak havoc within the Dao Network, even dismantling three Heavenly Pillars. Yet in truth, the foundation of the Shuo Star Sea Road Network was never destroyed.

“Heavenly Pillars are just pillars. The foundation of the anchoring stake holes remains.”

“As long as more True Immortals are captured, the Dao Network can quickly recover. No wonder he just watched the Dao Network get destroyed and wasn’t anxious at all,” Li Fan understood in his heart.
