CHAPTER 1938: CHAPTER 1525:

Certainly, here is the translated text:

Fortunately, the previous moments were permanently etched, leaving Li Fan with profound insights. This made it somewhat easier for Li Fan to recall them now.

"Even if I can’t recreate the true [Illusion as Reality], achieving a weakened version is not difficult."

Li Fan’s gaze swept over the disciples around him, whose expressions were unfriendly. After a moment, changes quietly occurred.

"You’ve been holding it in for a long time, and not a single fart came out. I think you..." One of the cultivators, already growing impatient, slapped Li Fan on the head. He was cursing and swearing, his eyes gleaming with viciousness.

But as Li Fan deployed his Divine Technique of Illusion as Reality, the hostility on that person’s face slowly disappeared.

It was the same for the few people beside him.

They seemed to forget Li Fan’s identity as a "Medicine King Sect disciple who descended from the sky." They just regarded him as "one of their own."

The cultivator who slapped Li Fan’s head earlier looked around blankly after a moment of confusion. After quite a while, he snapped back to his senses and his expression changed dramatically. He slapped his thigh: "Damn it! Where did that brat go!"

The others also woke up as if from a dream, exclaiming in surprise: "How is it possible? Right before our eyes, he really managed to escape?"

"I saw no trace of Spiritual Energy on him. How exactly did he escape?"

Everyone found it unbelievable. They used their Divine Senses to search the vicinity, but found no suspicious traces.

At this moment, Li Fan spoke: "Do you smell it? There seems to be a faint medicinal fragrance lingering in the air. I’ve heard that the Medicine King Sect disciples excel in using medicine. They can heal and also kill. Looks like we’ve been tricked!"

Li Fan’s tone was full of regret.

"It’s true!"

The other cultivators sniffed the air and quickly came to their senses, full of regret.

They didn’t detect anything unusual about Li Fan, who shouldn’t have existed in the first place.

Having narrowly escaped danger, Li Fan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

For now, this is the best he could do.

Recovering his strength would require observation of this piece of past time. It could only be done slowly.

"Though I’ve lost my previous insights from the wash of the River of Time, as long as I see the path again, I should quickly re-understand it."

"While others need to open a path from scratch, I merely need to walk it once more."

Li Fan looked up at the Xuanhuang sky at this moment, and countless feelings, both familiar and unfamiliar, surged in his heart.

But for now, he was still surrounded by enemies, and Li Fan’s Illusion as Reality hadn’t yet reached the level of completely rewriting others’ perceptions. Thus, he didn’t show it overtly, focusing instead on understanding the path and gathering strength.

At the moment when the group of cultivators was at a loss due to losing their target, a streak of flowing light approached quickly from the distant sky.

"Damn, it’s Elder Song."

The cultivators’ expressions changed drastically.

"Brothers, we must keep our stories consistent. We absolutely must say we didn’t see any other streak of light." In no time, they reached a consensus through Divine Sense communication.

Li Fan raised his head to watch the figure approaching.

He saw clearly; this Elder Song, who was feared greatly by the cultivators, appeared to be at the Nascent Soul Stage.

But the speed of escape wasn’t slow, and soon landed in front of them.

He inquired about the Medicine King Sect’s departure and another opposing streak of light.

The group replied according to their prearranged explanation.

Elder Song’s eyes scanned the crowd, pausing the longest on Li Fan, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, but it soon vanished. He didn’t say much.

"The departure of the Medicine King Sect was long anticipated by the Ten Sects higher-ups. Hmph, a group of fools courting death, just let them go." Elder Song spoke with disdain, finalizing the conclusion.

"Though they’ve left, the foundation of their mountain gate remains. Our Evergreen Valley, though closest, finds it challenging to claim all that the Medicine King Sect left behind. We can only select the most essential areas. Quickly return with me to the mountain gate to prepare for the upcoming disputes."

"The world will not be peaceful," Elder Song sighed deeply.

The group quickly accepted their orders. They exchanged glances, relief filling their eyes.

Li Fan also blended in, following them back to the so-called Evergreen Valley.

With the skill of Illusion as Reality, no matter where he went, it felt like returning home. After some inquiries, he quickly grasped the situation.

Evergreen Valley was one of the Immortal Dao Ten Clans, a subordinate sect of the Supreme Sect. It was subordinate in name, enjoying few benefits but couldn’t lack a penny in the annual tribute. If the Ten Sects issued a summon, they had to respond without slack, almost akin to being slaves of the Ten Sects.

But the influence of the Immortal Dao Ten Clans was vast, leaving Evergreen Valley disciples resigned despite their disgruntlement. They had to endure silently.

Evergreen Valley bordered the Medicine King Sect. The Medicine King Sect, known for saving lives and healing, helped Evergreen Valley accumulate substantial wealth.

As a small sect, having a Divine Transformation Sect Leader and three Nascent Soul Elders made them quite formidable within a radius of ten thousand miles.

Recently, the Immortal Dao Ten Clans suspected that the Medicine King Sect intended to escape, thus issuing surveillance orders. If anything unusual appeared, it had to be reported immediately.

Thus, the Evergreen Valley disciples discovered Li Fan’s dramatic descent from the sky.

...

"Elder Song, disciple has important matters to report." Amidst the tense atmosphere enveloping Evergreen Valley over the scramble for the Medicine King Sect’s abandoned territories, Li Fan secretly approached Elder Song.

"Oh? What is it?" Elder Song recognized Li Fan, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes. "Are you the mountain guardian disciple from that day? What was your name again?"

"Reporting to Elder, I am called Li Ping, having only recently joined the sect." Li Fan replied fluently, backed up by Illusion as Reality, hiding his true nature from the Nascent Soul Elder.

"What do you have to report?"

"That day, there was indeed a streak of light from the Medicine King Sect, returning to the Xuanhuang world, landing right in our center. Though we captured it, it unfortunately escaped due to that villain’s tricks..." Li Fan displayed a look of fear and unease.

Elder Song’s eyes immediately narrowed.

"Those people had the audacity to conspire and deceive the Elder, even threatening me. Though I agreed at the time, I thought it over and could never rest easy."

"You indeed have a conscience." Elder Song suddenly stood up and walked out the door.

In no time, he returned.

His body carried a faint bloodthirsty aura.

"Though you deceived, you showed timely repentance and made a revealing contribution."

"You shall be rewarded!"

"What do you desire?" Elder Song asked indifferently.
