Chapter 433: 407 – The World and the Immortal are One and the Same
“Once I gather enough methods…”
Ling Huchang spoke to himself, but saw Xiao Heng and the rest looking at him strangely.
He couldn’t help but pause and ask, “What, Xiao Daoyou, is there a problem with my plan?”
Xiao Heng forced a smile, “Ling Huchang Daoyou, I fear that the current situation in the Immortal Cultivation World is not as simple as you imagine.”
Immediately, Xiao Heng explained the situation of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization, these two gigantic entities that monopolize almost all the techniques.
The color in Ling Huchang’s face instantly paled incredibly.
“How can this be?”
If these people weren’t lying, then the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization were even more terrifying existences than the Ten Clans of the Immortal Dao in their time.
Su Xiaomei also hurriedly said, “The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals are not good people. If they knew the current situation of your Medicine King Sect, they wouldn’t let you go for all these treasures and techniques.”
Zhang Haobo also nodded, “The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals has a terrifying control over the techniques. Especially, Ling Huchang Daoyou, your cultivation of the Ancient Method must be extraordinary. Reaching the Unity-Path is definitely not a problem. Such a real technique, with the way the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals operates, they wouldn’t let it be out in the open. Once they get the news, they will definitely send their law enforcement monks to reclaim it.”
The three of them added fuel to the fire by describing the horrors of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals according to their own image of the group from their hearts to Ling Huchang.
Although Ling Huchang didn’t fully believe them, he understood the principle that an innocent man often getting into trouble because of his invaluable possessions.
To let him join the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and hand over the lives of hundreds of his sleeping brothers to the control of others.
Ling Huchang, who received Liu Ruchen’s dying trust, couldn’t do it.
After thinking about it, he solemnly bowed to Xiao Heng and the others.
“I have been away from the Xuanhuang World for thousands of years, and the affairs of this world have changed. Many things are very unfamiliar to me.”
“For the better survival of my Medicine King Sect in the future, I need your help.”
Xiao Heng kept saying that he did not dare to bear this responsibility.
After dealing with the matter in the cauldron, Ling Huchang and Xiao Heng flew out of the Medicine King Cauldron.
Ling Huchang put away the Medicine King Cauldron.
Then they planned to return to Shilin State the same way they came.
Along the way, everyone kept a low profile.
After seeing the majestic Heaven Cities along the road and many of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals’ cultivators in the cities, Ling Huchang further believed in his judgment and became even more cautious.
Immortal Alliance Headquarters.
Museum of Divine Artifacts.
Guided by the leading person, Li Fan had already arrived in this majestic building.
His tour pace paused slightly.
The guide in front looked at him somewhat surprised.
“Is there a place to rest around here?”
Li Fan said apologetically.
The guide in the black suit looked at the white-haired and aged Li Fan, and showed an understanding look.
He then led him to a secluded space.
Its decor was simple, but it was completely furnished.
“You can take a break here.”
“Whenever you want to continue the tour, just contact me with this jade badge.”
Handing the jade badge engraved with the words ‘Bing Yin’ to Li Fan, the guide quietly left.
Li Fan took a deep breath, digesting the information transmitted from Xiao Heng and the others.
“Immortal Ruins?”
His eyes narrowed slightly.
“A very strong attraction, swallowing everything.”
“Even time and space can be distorted. Once you get close, a thousand years pass in an instant.”
“Is this…”
“A black hole?”
“Or, a force that’s extremely similar to a black hole.”
“And that strange existence in the sky above the Dao Origin State, does it have anything to do with the Immortal Ruins?”
Li Fan, who was sorting out the information, suddenly paused.
“Wait, the Immortal Ruins that could devour the Xuanhuang World below at any moment.”
“As well as the unusual movement in the Xuanhuang World after the death of the cultivators.”
In an instant, he combined all his observations from Sky-spirit State.
All the clues melded into one line.
A conclusion that was logically consistent emerged in Li Fan’s spirit consciousness
It could rationally and completely resolve the doubts in Li Fan’s mind from before.
“To avoid the fate of Xuanhuang World being entirely devoured by the Immortal Ruins above, it is necessary to maintain a certain [weight].”
“And the cultivators, are an extremely important part of this [weight]…”
“When a large number of cultivators die, the Xuanhuang World becomes lighter.”
“So it is slightly attracted by the [Immortal Ruins] and moves a bit closer.”
“If the number of cultivators in the Xuanhuang World reduces to a certain level, then the entire Xuanhuang World will be irrevocably.”
“Completely fall into the [Immortal Ruins].”
“At that time, even the Immortal Sovereign, I’m afraid, would struggle to escape the outcome of annihilation.”
“That is why Ji Hongdao’s threat works.”
“[Mutual Annihilation].”
“That’s also why the [number of cultivators should not be too low].”
Li Fan’s mind raced, thinking about Sister Zhao’s words and actions, he had a hunch that this judgment was extremely close to the truth.
But then came an immediate question.
Why do cultivators have [weight]?
It makes sense for heaven and earth to have weight.
But how is it possible for the physical body of a cultivator to have weight…
In an instant, it was like a bolt of lightning breaking through the mist.
Li Fan suddenly understood.
“If it was cultivators of ancient methods, naturally they wouldn’t have weight.”
“But the cultivators of the new method were taking everything from heaven and earth.”
“Drawing in the spirits of heaven and earth, emulating the wonder of heaven and earth, peeping at the Laws of heaven and earth, taking the essence of heaven and earth, extracting the pith of heaven and earth…”
“Turning parts of the world into themselves.”
“So naturally, they would also acquire the property of the world’s [weight].”
It isn’t obvious for Gold Core cultivators and below.
But when advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage, one devours what originally belonged to heaven and earth, the [Cave Heaven], making it a domain of their own.
It’s as simple as that.
“Cave Heaven…”
“The world’s [weight]…”
Li Fan thought of even more following this.
According to Ling Huchang of the Medicine King Sect’s observations,
The [Immortal Ruins] above the Xuanhuang World should have existed long before the new method spread.
Back then, the Immortal Dao Ten Clans teamed up to avoid the fate of the Xuanhuang World being devoured.
What did the powerhouses standing at the top of the Immortal Cultivation World do back then?
Considering the current situation of the Xuanhuang World, a bold speculation couldn’t help but emerge in Li Fan’s spirit consciousness.
“When I first learned about the path of cultivation through the new method from ‘The Technique of Sensing Energy with the Five Spirits’, I was puzzled.”
“Cultivators have been plundering so much from the heavens and earth, it’s rather incredible that these heavens and earth can still hold on for so long.”
“After understanding various secrets of the Xuanhuang World, I had doubts.”
“In the Xuanhuang World, the amount of Cave Heavens and Small Worlds contained.”
“Seemed a bit too many.”
“Da Xuan, Wizard Border. And countless other ancillary worlds. Plus all kinds of Cave Heavens.”
“Looking back, these places might not originally have belonged to the Xuanhuang World.”
“But they were [captured] from the void by cultivators from the Immortal Dao Ten Clans to avoid being devoured by the Immortal Ruins.”
