The saying goes that even a strong crossbow will exhaust its montum and fail to pierce through rough hemp.
Under the pressure of the Immortal Realm, Li Fan’s sword could hardly harm even an ordinary mortal.
Not to ntion causing any injury to Mr. Bai.
However, even if it didn’t leave even a slight mark,
this sword had ultimately struck Mr. Bai.
Because Li Fan disregarded his own life.
Because of Mr. Bai’s appreciation of talent and compassion.
Just as the saying goes, a gentleman can be deceived for righteous reasons!
This sword was the answer Li Fan had pondered over the years in the second act of the Fallen Immortal Realm.
The first act tested benevolence.
The second act tested wisdom.
And this third act was likely testing martial prowess!
If Mr. Bai, who suppressed the Heavenly Sword Sect with his sword, could be defeated or acknowledged in the duel, it was very likely that the third act’s trial would be passed.
And Li Fan had now accomplished just that.
"Thank you for the honor."
Although the process of burning his life was reversed by Mr. Bai, using that "Sword of Fate" still severely hard Li Fan’s vitality.
At this mont, his complexion was pale, as if he could expire at any ti.
He coughed continuously and gave a bow to Mr. Bai.
Mr. Bai looked at Li Fan with a complex expression.
"Why?" he asked.
Li Fan spoke indifferently, "I’m different from you. You always think too much. As for , I stop at nothing to achieve my goal, even if it ans sacrificing my own life!"
The surroundings of the Heavenly Sword Sect gradually began to fade.
Only the figure of Mr. Bai remained clear.
Li Fan continued, "Thus, what you can do, I might not be able to do."
"But what you can’t do, I might be able to."
It sounded like a tongue-twister, but Mr. Bai had already understood Li Fan’s aning.
"Sotis, to stay alive, one needs to be ruthless."
After saying these words, Li Fan’s body also slowly beca transparent.
And eventually, he completely disappeared.
Only Mr. Bai remained in this space-ti continuum.
He frowned as if he faced a challenging decision.
After an unknown period, he suddenly smiled.
"Indeed. I always have too many concerns."
"Perhaps, like him, one can ultimately seize a sliver of vitality..."
With that, the figure of Mr. Bai, along with his voice, gradually beca silent.
...
In the darkness, Li Fan did not know how long he had waited.
A familiar feeling of the world spinning ca, and the scene before his eyes suddenly beca bright again.
Looking around, he had not returned to the real world.
Instead, he had arrived in a new environnt.
"My guess was indeed correct."
"Although sowhat ignoble, I ultimately defeated Mr. Bai and passed the test of martial prowess."
"The process does not concern , only the result."
Li Fan felt a bit of joy in his heart.
"Now, let see what the fourth act’s test will be."
As this thought struck him, countless pieces of information surged from his spirit consciousness.
Instantly, his expression froze.
"How could this be?"
Despite Li Fan’s astuteness, he still seed stunned at this mont.
He hastily perford the Water Mirror Technique and then looked at his reflection.
The impeccably perfect and graceful countenance, which elicited reverence and affection from those who beheld it,
was a face too familiar to Li Fan.
Not long before, he had just competed with him.
It was Mr. Bai!
"In this fourth act, I’ve actually entered Mr. Bai’s body?"
Li Fan’s heart was trembling imnsely.
There was both surprise and caution.
The surprise was that, by inhabiting Mr. Bai’s body, he could first-hand experience the power of the Great Supre Lord Xuan Huang. No matter which aspect of cultivation Li Fan pursued in the future, he would definitely benefit greatly.
The caution ca from the possibility that Mr. Bai’s reincarnation might occur again.
A mont later, Li Fan settled his mind and began to sort through the information in his spirit consciousness.
Unfortunately, because it was only a test,
the mories of Mr. Bai in his spirit consciousness were not complete.
There were only intermittent fragnts and the "main quest" involved in this test.
"At this mont, having gained the approval of the Heavenly Dao, I have officially beco the Great Supre Lord Xuan Huang,"
"The goal of the quest is…"
"To find the Immortal Instrunts scattered all over the Xuanhuang World and escape from the Xuanhuang World?"
Li Fan’s expression beca exceedingly strange.
It was entirely contrary to Mr. Bai’s known actions, causing Li Fan to confirm again and again.
"Hmm? No, that’s not right."
"This isn’t a test of the Fallen Immortal Realm. Rather, it is…"
"The mission that Mr. Bai carries at this point in ti!"
After so ti, Li Fan suddenly realized.
After becoming the Great Supre Lord Xuan Huang, Mr. Bai faintly felt the urgency from the Xuanhuang World Heavenly Dao Consciousness.
Tribulation was approaching, unavoidable.
It might be better to abandon the worldly body, and depart early.
"The Xuanhuang World is no longer a good place, where demons cause chaos within and the Immortal Ruins keenly watch from outside."
"It might be better to cross the Immortal wall and restart Heaven and Earth outside."
...
Li Fan frowned and slowly pieced together the fragnted mories.
"The Immortal wall is difficult to cross. Even as the Great Supre Lord Xuan Huang, one has insufficient power."
"However, before the Immortal path was severed, the Upper World occasionally bestowed Immortal Instrunts. So of these Immortal Instrunts are still kept in the Sect Treasure Vault, while others are deeply buried underground, unknown to anyone."
"But none could escape the control of the Xuanhuang Realm Heavenly Dao Consciousness."
"By gathering these Immortal Instrunts and using them as a sacrifice, it’s possible to unleash the power to cross the Immortal wall without needing to completely destroy them."
An expression utterly contradictory to his physical temperant appeared instantly on Li Fan’s face.
"Immortal Instrunts? At least ten Immortal Instrunts?"
According to the information sent by the Xuantian Heavenly Dao Consciousness, each of these Immortal Instrunts possessed a power not inferior to the Tianxuan Mirror.
If he could collect them all and use them for himself…
A series of thoughts suddenly sprang up in Li Fan’s mind.
You see, throughout many cycles of reincarnation, aside from the Tianxuan Mirror and the Fishing Pond, he had never even seen traces of other Immortal Instrunts.
Now, struck by the proverbial jackpot, he learned of over ten Immortal Instrunts all at once—how could his mind not be stirred!
"Wait, these Immortal Instrunts, have they all disappeared in real history?"
But quickly, Li Fan reacted.
He imdiately recalled an ancient anecdote he had collected before.
At the ti of the Great Calamity, because of the law of Incompatible Cultivation, the sects were already in chaos.
The unexplained disappearance of Immortal Instrunts within the sects only hastened the annihilation of the Cultivators Sects.
"Could it be that these mysteriously vanished Immortal Instrunts were all quietly taken by Mr. Bai?"
Li Fan’s expression turned peculiar.
He began to probe again in his spirit consciousness for information about these Immortal Instrunts.
These Immortal Instrunts, all bestowed by the Upper World before the Immortal path was severed,
belonged to great sects of the Xuanhuang World, which had long since vanished from the annals of history.
Such as the Reincarnation Sect, Wild God Sect, and so on.
And the Immortal Instrunts they held had been divided among the Immortal Dao Ten Clans.
However, Immortal Instrunts have spirits and can only be used by the legitimate heirs of the sects. Thus, even though the Immortal Dao Ten Clans had seized these Instrunts, they were fundantally unable to use them.
