Chapter 712: Chapter 678: Recalling the Imprinted Scars

After all, based on the information currently available, Mr. Bai’s status seems to be escalating more and more.

He subtly surpasses the normal limits of a cultivator’s strength, he might even be related to the True Immortal who created the entire Fallen Immortal Realm.

Although Situ Yao’s sword is powerful, it is destined to pale in front of an immortal.

After a long time, the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect finally came out of their shock.

They dared not loud, for fear of disturbing Mr. Bai who was still in the sect.

They were merely whispering, even somewhat hysterically venting their shock.

At this time, a figure suddenly flew to the wooden sword that Mr. Bai had thrown, under everyone’s gaze.

It was Li Fan.

Regardless of the murderous gazes from other cultivators, Li Fan took a deep breath and gripped the wooden sword.

In a daze, he seemed to see a white light illuminating heaven and earth.

Countless mysteries about the “sword” were freely evolving in his spirit consciousness.

Li Fan was instantly entranced.

But the next moment…

A severe vibration came, and Li Fan’s hand, which was tightly gripping the wooden sword, was suddenly empty.

Li Fan also snapped out of his understanding.

With a trace of annoyance and reluctance flashing through his mind, Li Fan realized that he had somehow ended up several meters away.

Seeing this, the other cultivators also followed suit, trying to pull out the wooden sword.

But without exception, they were all repelled by the wooden sword after just a moment of holding it.

“Ah, after all. How could the things of such a strong person be taken away so easily by us?”

“I’m afraid maybe only the eldest senior brother can pull it out.”

…

Everyone regretted it, wiping the drool from their mouth corners as they gazed greedily at the lonely wooden sword in the arena.

Just as it happened in actual history.

Mr. Bai did not retrieve the wooden sword. He simply left the Heavenly Sword Sect without a trace.

He had some unknown conversation with Situ Yao.

From that day on, the Heavenly Sword Sect was entrusted with a mission.

That is to create a Divine Soldier of the Sundered Realm, which only exists in the sect’s legends.

At all costs.

As an inner disciple, Li Fan naturally has to contribute his strength.

Just like the other disciples, he absorbs insights from the wooden sword and injects them into the Origin Stone named [Sword Embryo].

Then, countless of Origin Stones that possess everyone’s understanding of the sword way are thrown into a giant pit at the back of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Making use of the molten heat to forge the embryonic form of the Divine Soldier of the Sundered Realm.

Although the purpose of forging the Divine Soldier of the Sundered Realm is unknown, eldest senior brother Situ Yao holds high prestige. Also, the earth-shattering power of Mr. Bai had thoroughly won over everyone in the Heavenly Sword Sect.

So, no one had many complaints about this matter.

On the contrary, with the insights from the wooden sword, they can enhance their own realm and level of swordsmanship. Why not?

Time passed in these days.

Li Fan was not satisfied yet when his journey in the Fallen Immortal Realm had come to an end.

The surroundings faded, and Li Fan returned to the distorted transparent bubble in the air.

All three scenes had dimmed and become unselectable, Li Fan did not leave at once, but was reminiscing on what he saw in the Heavenly Sword Sect.

“From the timeline perspective, [Heavenly Sword Sect Refining Swords] should have taken place after [Ningyuan Life Fruit], and before the “Transformation of the Beast Driving Sect”.

“I didn’t expect the Heavenly Sword Sect to forge the Divine Soldier of the Sundered Realm because of Mr. Bai’s hint. Developing the Rift Realm Whale, forging the Divine Soldier of the Sundered Realm…”

“What exactly is Mr. Bai planning?”

“On the surface, it seems like it’s to prepare for the upcoming Great Calamity. But is that really the case?”

Judged by himself, Li Fan felt that behind all these decisions, Mr. Bai might still hide some other secrets unknown to people.

However, Mr. Bai was extremely mysterious. His ideas were not something that the current Li Fan could guess.

After pondering for a long time, Li Fan ultimately didn’t gain any insight, so he put it aside for the time being.

“In the Fallen Immortal Realm, there is also a consolidation of the law of the sword. If I could bring it out of the Fallen Immortal Realm, I wonder what the consequences would be?”

Li Fan had conducted a similar experiment in the Mortal Da Xuan Mini World.

He knew that there can’t be two same Natural Treasures in the world.

If, for any particular reason, there were two of them present.

Then the two would merge and elevate each other afterwards.

The weak perish, and the strong survive.

“Although Shuo Feng’s wooden sword is hailed as a Heaven’s Oddity, I feel that the one held by Mr. Bai thousands of years ago is its complete form.”

“After thousands of years of winds and frosts, its power may have weakened.”

“So, if I can bring out the wooden sword, wouldn’t that mean…”

“Interesting.”

Seemingly envisioning the scene of Shuo Feng suddenly losing his Foundation Establishment Strange Object, Li Fan shook his head slightly.

“Thinking too far ahead, let’s see how my gains were from this trip.”

After leaving the Fallen Immortal Mirror and returning to the Valley of Eternal Life, Li Fan tried hard to recall what he had seen in the Heavenly Sword Sect.

A moment later, a trace of disappointment surfaced on his face.

“I didn’t fulfil my obsession, so the understanding can’t be brought out either.”

“Wait a moment…”

Li Fan’s eyes sparkled, with a flick of his finger, countless blue sword lights suddenly flashed in the void in front of the secret room.

Staring at the constantly leaping [Broken Sky Heart Sword], a sense of familiarity surged up.

“I see, although the memories and understanding cannot be brought into the real world, the traces of the sudden realization are still there.”

“Just like the ebb and flow of the tides, eventually returning to the sea. But it leaves its mark on the beach.”

“In this way, even if I don’t gain understanding directly, it’s greatly beneficial for my development of divine techniques. It’s like I’ve suddenly gained a lot of proficiency in them.”

Li Fan’s heart was slightly pleased, taking advantage of the familiar feeling that hadn’t faded yet, his mind immersed in the comprehension of the “sword” way.

He didn’t know how long it had been before a message from Fang Zaiji woke Li Fan up.

It turns out that he has been in seclusion for over half a year, and the defensive magic treasures like the white clothes and folding fan that Li Fan asked him to forge have been completed.

“Indeed, cultivation knows no years.” Li Fan sighed slightly without rushing out.

But first, he checked the condition of the Fallen Immortal Realm.

Compared with the previous two times, [Heavenly Sword Sect Refining Swords] seems to have a longer entry time limit.

Even after half a year, he still has about five months before he can enter again.

“Seems like it’s because the power level I’ve come into contact with is much higher than before?”

Li Fan guessed in his heart.

Without much deliberation, Li Fan simply noted the time node for the next entry in his heart, then came out of seclusion and met the excited and triumphant Fang Zaiji.

“Haha, Sect Leader, I really over-performed this time. Even Liu San can’t easily break through the defense of the magic treasures I’ve forged!”
