Chapter 631: Chapter 603: The Path Marker of the Outside World

“Li Chen?!”

In an instant, the face of a frail youth flashed through Li Fan’s spirit consciousness.

“He is actually the covert Mystical Sky Sect’s Law King? How is this possible?”

Li Fan was quite shaken.

This Li Chen was none other than the person whose body Li Fan had inhabited during the Ningyuan Life Fruit event in the Fallen Immortal Realm.

He is an inner disciple of the Violet Firmament Sect, Zhang Qianmo’s junior!

But…

Li Fan had descended upon the Fallen Immortal realm and substituted him many times already.

He knew Li Chen’s memories crystal clear from his spirit consciousness.

Li Chen was just an ordinary village boy who, due to his good talent for cultivation, was accepted into the Violet Firmament Sect.

He had no memory of being a Law King of the Ancient Xuan Tian Sect at all.

“There are three possibilities. First, this Law King is like a divine soul, parasitizing inside Li Chen’s body. When the fallen immortal examines the world’s living beings at their last breath, only the original self is reproduced in the Fallen Immortal Realm. The other foreign beings inside the body won’t be replicated.”

“The second possibility is that the Law King did not occupy Li Chen’s body during the incident of Ningyuan Life Fruit. Upon Li Chen being critically injured in this event and being taken back to the sect by Zhang Qianmo, the Mystical Sky Sect’s Law King, that was lurking within the Violet Firmament Sect, took advantage of the situation and replaced him.”

“The last possibility is….”

“The Mystical Sky Sect’s Law King has profound and deep cultivation skills, hidden very deeply. Even the Fallen Immortal who can see through all things in the world, could not see through his secrets.”

“So, what was created in the Fallen Immortal Realm was just the tip of the iceberg.”

“…”

After a detailed analysis, Li Fan thought the third possibility was unlikely.

If even a desperate Law King had cultivation comparable to a Fallen Immortal, then how powerful would have been the overall strength of the Mystical Sky Sect?

It shouldn’t have been overthrown by the alliance formed by the Ten Sects of the Immortal Dao.

“In the Fallen Immortal Realm, it is almost identical to the real world. Even the spiritual energy trajectory and the functioning of techniques can be reproduced, the residual soul inside the body should also not escape the Fallen Immortal’s eyes.”

“So, it should be that the Mystical Sky Sect’s Law King took over after Li Chen fell into a coma?”

“The current state of this Mystical Sky Sect’s Law King might also not be good and could only be clinging to life by a thread. After miraculously escaping the pursuit of the special envoy of the Ten Sects of the Immortal Dao, he has been hiding in the Violet Firmament Sect ever since. He might have changed many bodies during this period until he finally became Li Chen.”

With the information obtained from various sources, Li Fan meticulously peeled off the layers of a possible truth.

Immediately after, his heart began to race.

The Mystical Sky Sect’s Law King has existed in the world since the ancient times of immortality cultivation.

The secrets he knows are certainly numerous beyond count.

If he could extract his soul and plunder his memories….

“It’s definitely worth a try.”

“When the Immortal Alliance unearthed him, this Law King was still in a deep sleep, and his defense might not be strong.”

“If I could control him, I would not only be able to gain many secrets and techniques, but I would also have a known identity in the Xuanhuang World in the future. I don’t have to disguise myself as a Heavenly Machine Sect cultivator every time, revealing a lot of flaws.”

Li Fan was slightly moved.

“However, I shouldn’t be careless.” he thought.

“In the past, the Mystic Sky Sect held the authority of Tiandao. The Laws Kings inside the Sect were certainly in Longevity Realm with the ancient laws. Even though he should have been seriously injured during the downfall of the Mystic Sky Sect, and had been asleep for so many years, and his strength is definitely not as great as before.”

“But ancient magnates, especially those who have been living for so long, who knows what cards they have up their sleeves. I still need to send a clone to investigate the truth first.”

“It’s worth a gamble. However you put it, it can’t be riskier than calculating Celestial Doctor’s plot.”

Many thoughts happened in an instant.

Even though his expression barely changed, the different emotions he felt in a moment were noticed by Jiao Xiuyuan.

He noticed a strange look in his eyes and couldn’t help asking, “Could it be that you and this Li Chen are acquaintances?”

Li Fan shook his head slightly, quickly replied, “Acquaintances can’t be said. We just met a few times.”

“But I thought he was just an ordinary disciple of Violet Firmament Sect, I didn’t expect…”

“Truth is stranger than fiction!”

Li Fan exclaimed.

Knowing that Li Fan must not be telling the truth, Jiao Xiuyuan didn’t plan to dig any deeper, as everyone has secrets.

“Hehe.”

“What is the real reason behind you asking for the identity of this ancient sleeping cultivator?” Jiao Xiuyuan tentatively asked.

Li Fan cupped his hands: “I am just fulfilling someone’s request.”

Jiao Xiuyuan seemed thoughtful and nodded without uttering a word.

The two chatted idly for a bit.

Just as they were about to say farewell, Li Fan asked casually, “By the way, are those Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldrons I asked you to dig up, still with you?”

“They’ve been sold a long time ago.” Jiao Xiuyuan replied.

“Initially, you didn’t seem to care about it. Why bring it up now?” He was a bit curious.

“On a whim, I asked when I thought about it. Don’t think too much about it.” Li Fan smiled mysteriously, avoided answering and then turned around to leave Thousand Miles Hall.

Leaving behind Jiao Xiuyuan with a face full of confusion and wrinkles in his brow, standing in his original position.

He didn’t try to stop him though.

—————–

After leaving, Li Fan first returned to Tianxuan Mirror and began searching for the Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldron.

According to Jiao Xiuyuan, when the Medicine King Sect’s relics were sealed by the Immortal Alliance, they dug up everything valuable.

He only had time to dig out two of them.

But at this moment, Li Fan found that there were as many as seventeen Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldrons just listed for sale in the market.

Obviously, these had flowed out from the Immortal Alliance.

Li Fan had already gotten used to this.

Now, the real use of the Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldron was still unknown to the world.

The wealthy Li Fan immediately bought all the Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldrons that were on sale.

This change instantly caught the attention of some people.

“Li Fan, was that you who made the move?”

“What secrets do these Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldrons hold?”

“Did you deduce something again?”

Jiao Xiuyuan, who had just ended his contact moments ago, hastily sent a query.

“Guess.”

Li Fan replied with a smile and didn’t care about his response.

With the [One-Handed Sky Shrouding Technique] surrounding his body, he headed directly towards Cangwu State.

Almost non-stop, he kept teleporting.

By half a day, he had already reached the Abyss of the Verdant Wutong.

After purchasing a travel guide to the Abyss of the Verdant Wutong, Li Fan followed the route from his memories of Xiao Fan’s journey from his past life and proceeded downwards.

He passed through the [Spirit Language Forest], then [Puppet Canyon] and reached the underground city of [Lost Enigmatic City] located one hundred thousand feet below.

He took some time to finally find the location where the Medicine King’s True Cauldron was to fall in the future.

Yes, Li Fan was preparing to wait patiently here for the arrival of the meteor.

Inside the Medicine King’s True Cauldron, were all the cultivators from the Medicine King Sect who had been forced into hibernation.

All of them were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
