Along with the profound sense of weakness came the sporadic memories belonging to Tianyang himself.
Master is a good person.
The eldest senior brother is handsome, and he is also a good person.
Second senior brother is a bit strange, but heâs a good person too.
The third senior brother is quiet, but he is the best person.
What a mess!
It took Li Fan quite a while to sort out Tianyangâs disordered memories.
Picked up by Master in the wilderness, and brought up.
Weak and sick from a young age, he had to take medicine every day to maintain his health.
Fortunately, even though the sect wasnât populous, all the senior brothers were excellent people.
They took very good care of him, doting on him.
Strugglingly lifting his head to look at his own body, which was similar to a five or six years old childâs, Li Fan finally understood what was going on.
The mind of a child is simple.
And because Tianyangâs body was extremely weak, his activities were confined to the small mountain gate.
Spending more than half his time deep sleep wasnât unusual either.
Having memories of those close to him seemed perfectly normal. âI donât even know the names of Master and my senior brothers.â
âBut I do know the name of the sect, Body Transformation DaoâŠâ
Li Fan, who had figured out the general situation, was about to prop his body up to observe his surroundings.
But he was suddenly hit by a wave of fatigue.
âThis little fellowâs body is absurdly weak,â thought Li Fan just before he fell into a heavy sleep again.
In a daze, he lost track of time.
It seemed to Li Fan that he heard a series of urgent and consecutive bell sounds.
He tried to open his eyes, but he just couldnât.
Fell into deep sleep again.
Li Fan was awakened by a conversation near his ears.
âWhat nonsense about the Immortal summons, why bother? Those large sects have countless members, sending a few people is of no matter to them.â
âWe, Body Transformation Dao, have so few people, and they expect us to go to the frontline? What kind of reasoning is that?â
Listening in, it seemed that these words were being spoken by the second senior brother, who had a temper, straightforward, and always spoke his mind, was impulsive.
âNonsense! The Immortal summons issued by the Ten Great Immortal Sects is not something you can ignore if you wish.â
âHavenât you heard that our neighboring Xinghuo Dao was annihilated just because they refused to accept the order?â
âTo put it bluntly, Xinghuo Dao is much stronger than our Body Transformation Dao.â
âThis rascal knows no bounds, making wild remarks all day!â
âIn the past, it was fine during peaceful times. But today is different than in the past, Ling Xiao. You must be cautious and not bring disaster to our sect!â A helpless, aged voice sternly reprimanded.
Just like the voice of the man who fed him medicine earlier, it was their Master, the Sect Leader of Body Transformation Dao.
Second senior brother Ling Xiao remained silent.
The surroundings fell into an awkward silence.
It was a dismissive voice that broke the silence.
âIâll go. After all, Iâm the eldest senior brother.â
âPerfect, Iâll get to show those barbarians how keen my sword really is.â
âSi XingâŠâ the Master sighed, seeming to pat the eldest senior brother on the shoulder.
The eldest senior brother walked to the bedside, seemingly examining the Tianyang possessed by Li Fan.
After a long time, he finally said, âAh, itâs a pity that I wonât be able to wait for the little junior brother to wake up and say goodbye.â
A thought crossed Li Fanâs mind, and he was about to open his eyes to speak, but a wave of fatigue suddenly overcame him again.
Unable to resist it, he fell asleep once more.
Li Fan awoke again after an unknown period.
This time he felt much better, at least he could get out of bed and move around with difficulty.
âMaster! Master!â
The place was eerily silent with no trace of anyone around.
So Li Fan softly called out.
âJunior brother Tianyang, youâre awake?â A man in white hurried over at the sound.
His hair was messy, and his eyes were bloodshot.
âSecond senior brother, what happened to you?â
âWhere are Master, eldest senior brother, third senior brother? Why canât I see them?â Li Fan couldnât help but ask.
Ling Xiao forced a smile: âItâs nothing, theyâre all in the main hall discussing matters.â
âHere, this is the Mechanism Puppet I promised to give you. I went through a lot of hardship to trade for this.â He brought out a small humanoid puppet and handed it over.
Li Fan took the puppet and examined it. He found that its shape and appearance were very similar to the Tianyang Puppet he had seen in the future. âOnce vou have this puppet, when vouâre tired or canât walk, vou can let it carrv you around. You wonât have to rely on eldest senior brother all the timeâŠâ Ling Xiaoâs voice gradually faded.
When Li Fan looked up, he saw that the second senior brotherâs eyes had turned bloodshot.
âSecond senior brotherâŠ
âHehe, itâs nothing. You stay here and play with the puppet for a while, I have some matters to discuss with Master.â With that, Ling Xiao patted Li Fanâs head and turned to leave.
Li Fan waited for a while, then quietly followed.
However, the main hall doors were tightly shut, and it seemed there were protective barriers, so he couldnât see what was happening inside.
Helpless, Li Fan decided to go and look around the other areas of the sect first.
As if remembering something, Li Fan, with the young body of Tianyang, struggled his way to the ancestral hall of the Body Transformation Dao Sect.
With all his might, Li Fan managed to push open the heavy doors.
At the bottom of the not too many spirit tablets, Li Fan did indeed find the one belonging to eldest senior brother Si Xing.
After pondering for a moment, Li Fan performed a ritual, then slowly exited.
He closed the doors again, intending to wander around other places.
However, the fatigue in his body returned once more.
Like he hasnât eaten for days and nights, Li Fanâs body began to tremble uncontrollably.
âIt seems that Tianyangâs body has some kind of latent disease; itâs not just simple weakness.â
Walking had become a problem, Li Fan had the Mechanism Puppet in his hand and tried control it.
In an instant, the Mechanism Puppet changed from toy-sized to the size of a normal adult.
Under Li Fanâs command, it carried Li Fan back to the room.
âThis puppet seems to have only a bit more strength than an ordinary person and doesnât have any cultivation.â
Li Fan, lying on the bed with this thought in his mind, finally gave in and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Then, Li Fan was awakened by a sound as loud as thunder.
âEsteemed Envoy, please spare our Body Transformation Dao.â
âIncluding me, Body Transformation Dao only has five members.â
âIn just a few years, two of my disciples have tragically died in the front lines.â
âIf this continues, even if the enemy doesnât kill us, our Tao Lineage of Body Transformation Dao will be severed! â
The Masterâs mournful voice kept resonating.
However, the other party seemed completely indifferent: âDonât complain to me. Iâve seen sects worse off than yours, so what?â
âWithin seven days, one more person must be sent to join the expedition.â
âOtherwiseâŠâ
âChoose between one dying or everyone dying!â
