Chapter 217: Battle of the Ancient World’s End 203
Three days later, Li Fan received a hush fee.
Ten thousand contribution points, plus three medium-rank techniques.
They asked Li Fan to forget everything related to Zhou Qingang, and to mention it to no one.
Li Fan had no objections.
He openly accepted the reward.
Ten thousand contribution points was not a small sum.
More importantly, his authority level successfully rose to 10, unlocking new privileges.
When searching for information in the Tianxuan Mirror, he could now preview some materials that he would originally need to advance to another cultivation stage to see.
For example, some hidden information that only those at the Golden Core
Stage are privileged to know, Li Fan, who was currently in the Foundation Establishment Phase, could view in advance due to his authority level reaching 10.
As usual, Li Fan searched for techniques to enhance his multi-tasking ability.
This time he finally found something, but after carefully reading the technique’s introduction, he furrowed his eyebrows, somewhat dissatisfied.
The technique was called “One Man, A Thousand Faces”.
Once mastered, it could indeed greatly enhance multitasking ability.
But there was an unavoidable side effect: over time, it would give rise to multiple uncontrollable personalities within oneself.
Basically, a split personality.
Naturally, Li Fan did not wish to cultivate a technique that could turn him into a mental patient.
Regretfully, he had to give up.
In fact, about the method of multi-tasking, Li Fan already had someone in mind to consult.
That’s none other than Jiao Xiuyuan, who cultivates the Path of a Thousand Puppets.
Jiao Xiuyuan’s puppet avatars were scattered throughout the Immortal Cultivation World, numbering in the thousands.
And yet, each of his puppets was lifelike, their movements and expressions all indistinguishable from real people.
Li Fan didn’t notice the difference the first few times he met him.
Managing so many puppets simultaneously without any delay, there must be a special method.
It was just unclear whether it was due to the unique technique of the [Path of a Thousand Puppets], or some other method.
Li Fan’s clone had been trying to contact Jiao Xiuyuan to inquire about it.
But it seemed he had not yet recovered from the massive loss of the Spirit Mist Grass, with Thousand Miles Hall closing its doors to visitors and there was no response from him.
Li Fan could then only wait.
With no results from the techniques, Li Fan tried his newly unlocked privilege.
Previously, he had not been able to search for any information about the Fallen Immortal Realm and had to disguise himself and ask indirect questions to find out how to bring items back.
It wouldn’t be so troublesome in the future.
After searching for the Fallen Immortal Realm, countless pieces of information suddenly jumped out.
Li Fan found that all this information came from a relatively independent section.
[Seeking Immortality].
In the Seeking Immortality section, only matters related to the Fallen Immortal Realm were discussed. All postings touching on the reality were locked and deleted immediately.
You could either post in this section under your real identity, or apply for a fake account to avoid the risk of exposure.
Li Fan did not register, but directly browsed the relevant information in Seeking Immortality.
The vast majority of posts were about discussing and exchanging experiences in the Fallen Immortal Realm, as well as the method of bringing items out.
Some cultivators who had successfully taken items from the Fallen Immortal Realm would also post guides.
As long as you paid a certain reward and signed a confidentiality contract, you could view them.
Out of curiosity, Li Fan searched for information related to Ningyuan City.
However, to his surprise, although the information in Seeking Immortality was vast, there was not a single piece of information related to Ningyuan City.
Li Fan then searched for Violet Firmament Sect and Zhang Qianmo.
Similarly, no other cultivator had encountered Zhang Qianmo, but there was quite a bit of information about Violet Firmament Sect.
After browsing through, Li Fan found that the Violet Firmament Sect encountered by other cultivators had long become a ruin.
There were corpses all over the sect, not a single person left alive.
It was then that Li Fan realized that he and the typical cultivators were entering the Fallen Immortal Realm at different time points.
The time point when Zhang Qianmo and Brother Li Chen went to Ningyuan City to fetch the Longevity Fruit, the new laws had just been born and were not yet known to the public.
For most cultivators, the time point they were at when they entered the Fallen Immortal Realm, was long after the conflict between the new laws and the old laws had ended.
The rule that different laws could not be cultivated together, had already been around in the real world for over three decades.
Order was about to collapse, and a large-scale slaughter was about to descend.
“The conflict between the new and the old laws must have lasted for decades. After that, when the new laws flourished and reached their limit in number, they caused a backlash from Heaven and Earth. This would all take hundreds of years…”
“Being trapped in a single area is one thing, but why is the time point I’m at so many years apart from ordinary cultivators?”
A multitude of questions surged up in Li Fan’s mind.
So he looked up information related to the difference in time points.
He found that although this situation was rare, it was not entirely unheard of.
There was once a cultivator who appeared in an area of the Fallen Immortal Realm where no other cultivators existed.
This area seemed to be a realm unto itself, a peculiar space formed after the total extinction of cultivators, followed by thousands of years of evolution in the civilization of mortals.
This could be a future time point that one might potentially end up in.
There was also a cultivator who ended up in an even more distant past when he logged into the Fallen Immortal Realm.
It seemed to be a world-shaking battle.
The warring factions were unknown, but the sheer number of participating cultivators was absolutely shocking.
According to this cultivator called [Bu Eren], “They were as dense as ants, covering the entire space.”
“The glows of magic treasures and spells flashed incessantly.”
“Every moment, countless cultivators died.”
“Golden Core cultivators and Nascent Souls could only serve as cannon fodder.
Even God Transformation, Unity-Path cultivators, and even the Immortal
Sovereigns were fighting each other and falling.”
“The earth and space were torn apart, chaos black thunders flashed in from beyond the space, cultivators fell like rain.”
“It was a terrifying scene, much like the apocalypse.”
Because the scene described by this cultivator was too bizarre and he was the only one who had ever encountered it,
Most cultivators thought he was making it all up and didn’t believe him at all.
Bu Eren, on the other hand, swore an oath that everything he said was what he had seen with his own eyes.
If there was any exaggeration, may he die a cruel death and his body and soul be obliterated.
Such a ruthless oath indeed silenced many people.
However, even so, the majority of the cultivators still did not believe him.
Apart from these two, there were also many other peculiar records.
Only then did Li Fan truly realize what Chen Ying had told him. that the Fallen
Immortal Realm was a world formed by the consciousness before it fell.
Any unimaginable event could possibly be encountered in the Fallen Immortal Realm.
“What a marvelous world I’m trapped in, yet I’m confined to a tiny Ningyuan City. That’s really not right.”
Li Fan couldn’t help but sigh.
“I wonder if it will still be the same next time.”
After taking a casual look at the Seeking Immortality section again, Li Fan was just about to leave.
But then he was attracted by certain words.
“Meeting”, “Exchange”.
Li Fan couldn’t help but click on it..
