Li Fan tried to find more clues from the virtual shadow created by Zhen before him.
But obviously, Zhenâs handiwork was far beyond what Li Fan could comprehend at present.
In the end, Li Fan could only give up helplessly.
"For now, letâs not worry about Zhenâs intentions. Just assuming that it is to complete flaws for my Saint plan is enough. Just the fact that Zhenâs power is gradually recovering is enough to warrant my vigilance."
The current Li Fan was no longer the same as before, simply viewing Zhen as his "exotic treasure" golden finger.
All signs indicated that Zhen had his own independent consciousness. And it very likely had intricate ties with the so-called "Creator God" from Mountain Sea.
Li Fan still remembered the scenario when he activated Zhen at the edge of the Realm of Eternal Silence.
Within the Realm of Eternal Silence, it was as if a terrifying presence awoke, fiercely striking the White Mist representing Zhen. True and False Changes encountered restraints, remaining motionless. It was truly shocking and despairing.
"The higher the level of strength, the closer one gets to Saints, Void Realm and the like, Zhenâs existence becomes more exposed. If not for the heaven-defying power of [Change of True and False], that can reverse the Mountain Sea in an instant, I would probably have caught the Saintâs attention long ago."
"Obviously able to communicate with me directly, yet insists on being a riddler. Using roundabout methods to remind me."
"Now, itâs directly bypassing me, influencing the Mountain Sea..."
"Indeed, only true abilities of my own can be relied upon."
Li Fan squinted his eyes, suppressing the dissatisfaction towards Zhen in his heart.
Trying once more to communicate with it with patience.
Yet Zhen remained silent as before.
Li Fan had no way out.
Already in a gloomy mood, he suddenly heard cheering sounds coming from outside the Guangwu Immortal Di.
"Thanks to everyoneâs hard work, a total of three hundred and ninety-nine brand new Heavenly Pillars have been completed."
"Once we do some minor adjustments, we can officially accept the invitation to the [Realm of Life and Death]!"
The term Realm of Life and Death quickly caught Li Fanâs attention.
"Hmm?"
Previously, to prevent the soon-to-transcend Bai Shuyue from noticing, Li Fan was not within the original possibility, instead hiding in the Mountain Sea, watching from afar.
Most of his attention was not on Bai Shuyue, so he hadnât really kept up with events happening in the Guangwu Star Sea.
Unexpectedly, they would be related to the Realm of Life and Death and the Five Lords of the Same Tribulation!
"Invited to go?"
Li Fan sneered internally: "Without even reaching the Transcendence Realm, how could they enter the eyes of the Five Lords of the Same Tribulation? Going there would be nothing but sending a lamb into a tigerâs den, turning directly into resources."
But soon, Li Fan realized something was amiss.
Regarding this group of people from the Guangwu Star Sea, Li Fan was quite familiar, having once personally destroyed them. They were too weak, with no practical value. Therefore, in normal circumstances, the Five Lords of the Same Tribulation would never notice them, let alone send any âinvitationâ.
"But if the invitation is real..."
Li Fan couldnât help but recall the speculation of Tian Luo Di leading a successful group of transcendents.
"If there is anything about this group of people from the Guangwu Star Sea that deserves special attention from the Five Lords of the Same Tribulation, it might be their identity as Original Remnants."
"The transcendence of the Primordial Immortal World enhanced the potential spirituality significantly..."
Under his covert scrutiny, the leader of the Guangwu Group of Immortals, [Xingfu], stirred a plan in Li Fanâs heart.
The Realm of Life and Death is an unknown place of exceptional danger. Even the Inscription Dao Immortals never returned once they ventured in. As for the Faceless Immortal after the moral division, they too perished tragically inside.
While they might have appeared powerless under the Saintâs influence, swept away effortlessly.
To an average transcendent strongman, it was indeed a perilous place.
Normally, Li Fan wouldnât venture for an exploratory risk without cause.
But now, thereâs a heaven-sent opportunity with no apparent risk right before him.
Furthermore, during the long wait for Bai Shuyueâs fall, he was indeed bored. Idle as he was, why not explore the Realm of Life and Death!
"Perhaps, I could even unravel the mystery of the Faceless Immortalâs inexplicable demise."
Formulating a plan, Li Fan gently blew a breath.
A smoky shadowy figure emerged in response.
Without a fixed appearance, following Li Fanâs command, it quietly slipped into [Xingfu].
Xingfu was merely at the Nameless Realm, with no room for resistance before Li Fanâs inscrutable might.
The smoky shadow covered Xingfuâs Divine Soul.
"When the true becomes false, the false is true!"
In Li Fanâs serene chant, like imprinting a copy, the originally empty appearance of the smoky shadow formalized into the likeness of Xingfu!
Meanwhile, the real Xingfu struggled in vain, utterly powerless to resist. Replaced!
Throughout the process, Xingfuâs exterior showed no signs of abnormality. The assembled Guangwu Immortals present hadnât the slightest clue that their leader had been swapped without awareness.
This soul-snatching technique was precisely what Li Fan used to create a completely independent clone.
However now, the independent cloneâs copied subject wasnât himself, but Xingfu.
Moments later, Li Fan adjusted to the new form.
Searching through Xingfuâs memories for matters related to the Realm of Life and Death invitation.
"It turns out the invitation wasnât exclusively sent by the Five Lords of the Same Tribulation, but rather a widespread net-like approach targeting the Original Remnants from the Primordial Immortal World."
"And the one who wrote these invitations..."
Li Fanâs heart skipped a beat: "The Original Inscription Dao Immortal?"
After the Primordial destruction, the surviving True Immortals were either subsisting in the Lower Realm Star Sea or left the Primordial, heading into other possibilities. Some even included transcendents.
