Chapter 519: Chapter 491: Everyone is Respected like a God

“Isn’t it just a dispute over interests, with no clear division of good and evil?”

“If we were truly as evil as you suggest, how could we stand against the relentless assault of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals for a millennium?”

The scholar asked, his sound resonating powerfully again.

Many within the ranks of the Alliance cultivators wore thoughtful expressions upon hearing this.

Even more were left with puzzled expressions, as though their values had taken a major blow.

“So be it, let me begin by introducing the state of affairs in the Five Elders Organization,” the scholar said.

With his body towering between heaven and earth, filling everyone’s sight, the scholar began his narration.

“Currently, the territory of the Five Elders’ Organization is divided into five parts.”

“Each of the five Celestial Beings governs their own part.”

“As for the territories of the other Celestial Beings, I wouldn’t dare to comment on them rashly. In the future, if you have the opportunity, you can explore them on your own.”

“Let’s just talk about the Human Dao Sky Realm, where you are currently located.”

The scholar’s words attracted the attention of all the cultivators present, including Li Fan.

“The five Celestial Beings, each defying the Principle of Heaven and Earth, have created unique territories.”

“In our Human Dao Sky Realm, the most important rule is the principle of the Celestial Being’s Dao manifestation.”

“It is also the universal law of heaven and earth, that everyone must follow, and no one can violate.”

The scholar paused and revealed the origin of the name “Human Dao Sky Realm.”

“Compared to Heaven and Earth, a human is but a tiny being.”

“While they perish along with their names, rivers and mountains continue to flow for eternity.”

“Even if a cultivator has the power to turn the tides and seems to have changed the shape of Heaven and Earth, the rivers after all have days to regenerate. When the cultivator dies, everything becomes void. The past, all like illusions, ceases to exist.”

“Only the Sovereign of Immortality, who defies the logic of Heaven and Earth, can be truly said to have transformed Heaven and Earth!”

“Why is it only the Sovereign of Immortality who can undertake such a feat?”

“In our Human Dao Sky Realm, everyone has the capability to change Heaven and Earth!” Exclaimed the scholar confidently.

Despite feeling inspired by his words, the crowd was left with many unanswered questions.

Several bold cultivators asked, “Sir, what do you mean when you say everyone can change Heaven and Earth?”

The scholar faintly smiled, “When you came here, did you see the dazzling starlight in the sky?”

The crowd nodded unanimously.

“Actually, those are not real stars, but former cultivators.” The scholar’s words echoed through Heaven and Earth like a thunderclap.

With a wave of his hand, the former bright sky dimmed momentarily.

The darkness only lasted for a moment, and was then filled with countless starlights.

“Within Human Dao Sky Realm, regardless of one’s cultivation level, as long as one possesses sufficient faith and courage, they can transform into stars, ascending into the vast sky.”

“While they eternally illuminate the world, they also change the original shape of Heaven and Earth.”

“Once upon a time in Human Dao Sky Realm, there was a young man who was born between two mountains.”

The scholar proceeded to share another story.

“The mountains obstructed the pathway making ingress and egress quite difficult. Therefore, the villagers living in the mountains lived a life of extreme poverty. Upon seeing this, the young man vowed from a young age to remove the two mountains completely, in order to provide a way out for his family.”

“The mountain was remote and seldom visited by strangers, thus the young man knew nothing of immortality, he simply tried to dig through the mountains with his own power.”

“Despite misunderstanding and ridicule, he never wavered or regretted.”

“With utmost sincerity, even metal and stone can be penetrated. One hundred years passed, and although he had turned into an old man on his deathbed, his determination remained unshaken.”

“After death, he became a star, ascending to the vast sky. And under the illumination of the starlight, the two mountains vanished without a trace.”

“This is a perfect example of a mortal changing Heaven and Earth.”

“If a mortal could do it, why not cultivators? In Human Dao Sky Realm, there are countless examples of such transformations!”

…

Just as Li Fan’s puppet body was immersed in the scholar’s narration,

His true self had already arrived in Shilin State through the teleportation array.

With Ten Thousand Immortals Island being seized, all teleportation nodes leading to the Misthaven Ocean had been invalidated.

With no other choice, he had to go via the teleportation arrays to get to Shilin State, which is adjacent to Misthaven Ocean.

When he tried to fly into the Misthaven Ocean, Li Fan suddenly discovered an invisible barrier covering the entire Misthaven Ocean.

It was sealed off so no outsiders could enter.

“So they have finally reacted and enforced martial law,” Li Fan mused, squinting his eyes, but decided against trying to break through forcefully.

Instead, he returned to the nearby Immortal City, focusing all of his attention on his puppet body, Zhou Qingang.

Ignoring the continuous communication talisman prompts on his body, his puppet body headed straight toward the location where Ten Thousand Immortals Island had originally been.

Along the way, he saw many cultivators with panicked faces, who seemed unaware of what had happened, also rushing towards Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

It was only after losing the teleportation array that they realized how precious it was to be able to arrive in an instant.

It took the puppet body more than ten days to reach its destination.

A large group of cultivators had already gathered here. They were pointing and commenting in low voices.

And at the center of the crowd was a huge black hole.

The surrounding seawater seemed to be hindered by some kind of force and couldn’t flow into the black hole.

In the azure sea area, the existence of this black hole appeared extremely odd and discordant.

Upon seeing this, Li Fan couldn’t help but frown.

“Why does this look so similar to what I saw the first time I encountered the Crimson Blaze Ocean?”

“Could it be…?”

A conjecture appeared in his mind, leaving Li Fan momentarily stunned.

The first time he saw the disappeared Ten Thousand Immortals Island, and then saw the persistent heat energy around the void.

Subsequently, he witnessed Crimson Flame standing in the sky, holding flames, and roasting the Misthaven Ocean.

Li Fan instinctively believed that Crimson Flame had taken action and completely destroyed Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

Indeed, it seemed very likely.

But since he didn’t witness the destruction of Ten Thousand Immortals Island, a second possibility did exist.

That is, Ten Thousand Immortals Island, like this world, was completely evacuated by some means.

Even after Crimson Flame was executed and Mo Sha appeared,

He still didn’t personally witness the destruction of Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

Because before Ten Thousand Immortals Island disappeared completely, he was swallowed by the black particles.

Thinking about the Five Elders’ Organization’s draconian measures to seize Ten Thousand Immortals Island, Li Fan couldn’t help but be stunned.

“Could it be that Ten Thousand Immortals Island really contains some kind of secret?”

Thinking back on all the secrets he’d observed before, none of them contained a record of this aspect.

Li Fan began to doubt his judgment again.

“But this doesn’t make sense! If Ten Thousand Immortals Island really does hide something, it’s impossible for the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals not to know. They should have guarded it strictly. How could the Five Elders’ Organization have kidnapped it so easily?”

Just as Li Fan was left baffled by his thoughts, he heard a cultivator amongst the awe-struck crowd sigh, “How unpredictable life is, I never would have thought that the original preaching site of the Celestial Dharma Bearer would one day also disappear.”

Li Fan was momentarily stunned.

He immediately stepped forward and greeted the cultivator.

Then he asked, “My friend, what does ‘the original preaching site of the Celestial Dharma Bearer’ mean?”
