Chapter 1949: Chapter 1532: The Intact Nine-Star Pearl

“Sect Leader Qu’s words have merit; after all, Xuanhuang World is not solely our Ten Sects’ Xuanhuang World.” The Sect Master of the Great Taoist Sect, Fang Dinge, seemed to imply.

Sect Leader Qu Yixing appeared completely unaware as he continued, “The leader of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, named Law Transmission, has indeed created some distinctive methods. However, with the Great Heavenly Sovereign overseeing the world, it’s destined not to thrive. If it stirs up any more trouble, we won’t even need to intervene, and this so-called Alliance of Thousands of Immortals will be obliterated in an instant.”

“Anyway, since they are all destined to perish, we might as well use them to their fullest. However, the methods of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals are special, so it is unsuitable to recruit cultivators above the Nascent Soul Realm. Otherwise, after their death, the Xuanhuang’s wandering Heaven and Earth might instead nourish the Taiyuan Realm…”

“Leave this matter to me, I’ll persuade them well.” A voice full of boldness rang out, taking the task upon itself. It was Situ Yao, the senior disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

He gazed at a particular location in the Xuanhuang World and silently took up the gourd in his hand, drinking it dry.

…

The destiny of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals in the present time and space was decided with just a few simple words by the Ten Sect Leaders.

And in corners they couldn’t see, there was also an Overlord weaving their future.

“Taiyuan Rebirth Furnace; so this is the truth.”

“I told you, how could this primordial possibility have a path unknown to me?”

Within the Dark Blood Fortress, Li Fan sat cross-legged, holding a blurred and twisted image of a furnace in his palm, flickering intermittently.

During these six months, he used the Golden Sky Lock of the Floating Star Crossing Formation as a medium to crystallize the Tao of Taiyuan Realm and complete an analysis.

The results were somewhat surprising, but upon reflection, they made sense.

The so-called infinite resurrection occurring in the Taiyuan Realm is fundamentally not true resurrection. It’s ‘fabrication.’

Much like the situation in the Xuanhuang World.

Deep within Taiyuan Realm, there exists a grand and massive Ancient Immortal Formation.

Nine-star Red Beads, uncertain rings, an endless sea of ice-sealed corpses…

All of it almost identical to the Xuanhuang World. The only difference being that the Nine-star Red Beads in Taiyuan Realm haven’t mysteriously disappeared like those in Xuanhuang World, but remain well-positioned at the core of the ancient formation, maintaining its operation.

When a Taiyuan cultivator dies, the Nine-star Red Beads, which record the data of all living beings in Taiyuan Realm, will through the Immortal Array, manufacture a new replica.

Both ‘the resurrected’ and their adversaries in battle believe they have been ‘resurrected.’

Only by penetrating layers of concealment and seeing the truth behind the Immortal Array can one grasp the true situation.

“No wonder it was once the experimental arena presided over by the Immortal Emperor, with the Nine-star Red Beads serving as the core of a complete Ancient Immortal Formation, achieving [Array-Painting the Tao].”

“Emperor Tai Tian, oh Emperor Tai Tian, such a significant matter, yet you wouldn’t even give me a heads-up.”

Of course, this was mere banter from Li Fan. To Emperor Tai Tian, compared to the monumental task of reversing time and saving all of eternity, the lives of the beings in the experimental arena were utterly insignificant. An array for mere imitation of living beings certainly wouldn’t be considered ‘important.'”

“The so-called resurrection is nothing but a lie. This cannot be known by the Immortal Dao Ten Clans; otherwise, the belief sustaining combat against fallen comrades in Taiyuan Realm would instantly vanish, leading to the collapse of the Xuanhuang World battlefront.”

Li Fan examined the ephemeral image of the furnace in his palm, gently stroking it.

Despite being merely an illusion, it truly rippled with small waves under Li Fan’s gentle touch.

Naturally, this was Li Fan, after completing the invasion and unraveling the Ancient Immortal Formation of Taiyuan Realm, beginning to attempt its modification.

Even though the Immortal Array’s core is intact, it is no match for the true immortal visitor from a million years forward.

Li Fan effortlessly infiltrated the core of the Taiyuan Realm’s Immortal Array.

However, up to this point, he hadn’t made any particularly drastic moves. The reason for quietly altering the details of the formation was due to the ongoing existence of two Immortal Realm Array Guardians within the formation.

Under the concealment of the Guardian Ancient Immortal Formation, Li Fan caught sight of the true faces of these two figures.

One was also present in the Xuanhuang World before, an Immortal Realm Overseer. However, the one in Taiyuan Realm clearly retained complete and clear consciousness.

The other perhaps existed once in the Xuanhuang World, but had since vanished alongside the degradation of the Immortal Array.

It was precisely the array’s maintenance officer.

A human body, with only the head replaced by a book seemingly flipping through countless pages simultaneously.

The so-called Overseer, Maintenance Officer, in Li Fan’s view, they were merely Immortal Servants.

Of course, in the eyes of mortal cultivators, even if just ‘servants,’ as long as they bore an ‘immortal’ character, it was far beyond their ability to contend.

Even now having restored to the Union of Dao Realm, Li Fan wasn’t yet a match against these two if facing them head-on.

He only temporarily avoided their sharpness.

However, it was evident that the stationed Immortal Servants within the formation lacked understanding of the Guardian Immortal Array itself. They could only rely on what former true immortals instructed, following the steps mechanically.

Regarding the subtle changes under Li Fan’s guidance within the formation, they were completely oblivious.

“I must assert that the Taiyuan Revival Furnace can resurrect Xuanhuang cultivators fallen on the battlefield, to uphold their belief in continued fighting.” After half a year at the battlefield fortress, Li Fan was well aware of this necessity.

“I’ve painstakingly set up the stage for the performance; if the audience just leaves like that, wouldn’t it spoil the mood…?”

“What the Immortal Array cannot achieve, I will accomplish!”

Li Fan gently raised his left hand, and the furnace’s ghostly image flew forward, quickly spinning in the air.
