Chapter 325: Chapter 831-835: Everything Thrives (6k+ words)

Cultivators no longer discussed the exposed dark past events. After all, having heard them repeatedly, it became a commonplace topic.

Instead, they eagerly collected information about the previous Immortal Alliance recruitment exams.

They were ready to become part of the Immortal Alliance system, excitedly preparing to participate.

The crisis that could have led to internal turmoil quietly subsided.

The resolution was so ingenious that even after nearly half a month had passed, Li Fan couldn't help but review and sigh to himself.

"With a simple announcement, the crisis vanished as if it had never existed."

"All it required was a notice."

Li Fan sincerely admired this approach because he couldn't think of a better solution.

"Half a year until the next recruitment exam. It's so grand. How can I not take advantage of it..."

"Although this world hasn't been around for long, its trajectory has already begun to deviate significantly. The test questions should have changed."

Thinking this way, Li Fan recalled the information on various past recruitment exams that he had collected.

"Everything changes, but the essence remains the same. While it's impossible to predict the questions precisely, creating a rough question bank shouldn't be difficult."

Taking out a blank jade slip, Li Fan activated the crystallized Dao Stone in his mind, and a burst of blue light erupted.

Massive amounts of data poured into the jade slip in the time it took to finish a cup of tea.

"Upgrading to a middle-grade Dao Stone indeed improves efficiency significantly. The computing power has increased by more than twice."

Li Fan ran his fingers over the smooth surface of the jade slip, nodding in satisfaction.

The promotion of the Dao Stone was finally accomplished, thanks to his persistent efforts to merge with the Yi Yin Tomb in each reincarnation. The lower-grade Dao Stone provided by the Five Elders Association in this trade was also crucial.

Though both were lower-grade, this one was much better in quality than the one in the Yi Yin Tomb, almost reaching the level of a middle-grade Dao Stone.

After devouring it, the knowledge in Li Fan's sea of consciousness immediately ascended to middle-grade.

"It's a pity that the Five Elders Association was only willing to provide one. They weren't even willing to give me more Dao Stones, even if I offered additional Celestial Creator materials."

"Do they have special uses, perhaps?"

Li Fan frowned in thought, but after a moment, he understood.

While Celestial Creator materials were extremely precious, they could be reproduced. Comparing them to Dao Stones, which decreased by one with each use, it was challenging to determine which was more valuable.

"Well, the question bank for the Immortal Alliance recruitment exam should be valuable to them."

"Whether it's for planting spies or causing disruptions, there are many possibilities."

Li Fan began calculating in his mind.

"Heaven's Gift!"

After a while, he called out.

A figure flashed by, and Shang Tiangi hurriedly arrived in front of Li Fan.

With Lin Ling's presence, the once fiercely loyal young man who had been successfully brainwashed by Li Fan now listened unquestioningly. He went out of his way to show himself.

The previous sightseeing tour, which was no longer just a leisurely sightseeing trip, was swiftly conducted through the required scenic spots and then rushed back.

Fortunately, he could teleport using the Heavenly Scenery Gourd; otherwise, such long-distance travels in such a short time might have worn him out.

Despite his hard work, the arrival of Tian Yang still made him feel an immense sense of crisis.

Compared to the talkative and constantly flattering Shang Tiangi, Lin Ling was more interested in the silent Tian Yang.

This made Shang Tiangi extremely anxious. He had to resort to indirect methods, trying to please Li Fan and salvage his situation.

"Senior, do you have any orders?"

Li Fan tossed the jade slip to him. "Replicate a hundred copies of this."

"Okay!" Thinking it was not a difficult task, Shang Tiangi immediately agreed.

However, after taking a look and carefully examining the contents of the jade slip, he couldn't help but exclaim in pain and cover his forehead.

Then he exclaimed, "Senior, isn't this too much?"

"If it's not much, I could have easily copied it myself. Why do I need you?" Li Fan coldly snorted.

Chapter 831: All Matters Prosper

"Remember, it's urgent. Get it done within seven days."

Shang Tiangi's face twisted in bitterness as he looked at Li Fan's serious expression. He dared not resist and gritted his teeth before going to work.

Li Fan looked down at the ground in the Spiritwood Realm, where tree people were scattered, diligently working.

"Unfortunately, it seems these tree creatures are not within the range of the Sitting Immortal Technique."

Compared to when Li Fan first entered the Spiritwood, the overall strength of these tree people had significantly improved.

The largest group had grown from the Foundation Establishment stage to a strength equivalent to the later stages of Foundation Establishment.

Tree people with strength at the Core Formation and Nascent Soul stages also explosively emerged.

The female leader of the tree people benefited the most.

She could now compete evenly with an ordinary Divine Transformation cultivator.

This obvious progress was partly due to Shang Tiangi continuously transporting the mysterious and yellow landscapes.

More importantly, it was the treasure brought in this trade with the Five Elders Association: the "Heavenly Dew from Earth Droplets."

This item was the treasure that suppressed the ancient God Tree Sect, possessing extraordinary benefits for plants in the world.

Even though there was only a drop, the spirit tree swelled by half its size.

The tree crown had already reached the sky, appearing as if it could pierce through the heavens.

This transformation once again benefited Lin Ling the most.

From barely qualifying as a Dao Fusion cultivator when born, she now firmly stood in the Dao Fusion realm, and only a couple of months had passed.

Considering there was also the hidden care from the ancient tree senior of the Earth Pulse...

"Truly, the difference between people is enough to make one furious."

"I have to go through so many twists and turns just to want to form my Nascent Soul."

At the same time, Li Fan also faintly felt that when resources reached a certain level, cultivating cultivators with considerable strength became a straightforward matter.

"Prominent families in the Immortal Alliance must not be as simple as they appear on the surface."

After pondering for a moment, Li Fan shifted his focus back to the tree people all around.

Their tasks were roughly divided into two parts.

One part was responsible for constructing the buildings of the "Ten Thousand Realms Union."

The other group of tree people transported various materials and placed them at designated locations in the Spiritwood Realm, preparing for "Array Refinement."

"Array Refinement" was a method of refining treasures.

Apart from conventional methods like fire refinement and using one's blood, there was this special method.

Mostly used by array masters.

It involved inscribing intricate arrays on the treasures.

This not only completely assimilated the treasures for personal use but also amplified the power of the treasures with arrays.

Li Fan wasn't particularly proficient in the art of refining, so he wouldn't start learning it from scratch just to refine a treasure.

With his possession of the End-of-Era Dissolution Disk, an invaluable treasure, "Array Refinement" naturally became the most suitable choice.

However, after several transformations in the Spiritwood Realm, which had become much larger than an ordinary small world, success in refining it required a careful approach.

Chapter 832: Collapse and Resurgence of the Mountain

To be honest, creating a magnificent and truly worthy headquarters for the "Ten Thousand Realms Union" was not an easy task.

Putting aside how to plan and coordinate, completing the construction of the continuous architectural complex was a challenge itself.

Designing buildings that matched the five characters of the "Ten Thousand Realms Union" alone required a considerable effort.

Fortunately, Li Fan had previously overseen the reconstruction of the Congyun City, so he had some experience in this regard.

He had also communicated with the builders sent by the Immortal Alliance headquarters for support.

So, all things considered, the blueprints personally designed by Li Fan were not too bad.

However...

Li Fan always felt like something was missing.

"After all, I didn't start off as a professional."

"It seems I need to find a reliable person to supervise this."

Li Fan couldn't stay in the Spiritwood Realm all the time.

Now that Lin Ling had made significant progress in strength and received substantial resources from the Five Elders Association, it was time to consider Tianyang's Dao Fusion plan.

Planning for the essence of heaven and earth, even with the information obtained from Mr. Bai, comprehensive understanding of the essence of heaven and earth couldn't guarantee absolute safety, and there were still significant risks.

Preparation should be as thorough as possible.

If Tianyang's Dao Fusion succeeded, Li Fan would have to consider formally devouring the Five Elements Great Dao and return to the Nascent Soul realm.

He was almost certain to be extremely busy.

So, before that, he needed to find a reliable figure to be in charge of the construction in the Spiritwood Realm.

Various information about cultivators flashed in his mind.

After a moment, Li Fan locked onto a target.

Master Builder, Oudaozi.

Although only at the Nascent Soul stage, he possessed talents and insights into architectural design that others could hardly reach.

It was said that many buildings in the Immortal Alliance headquarters were his handiwork.

Even the reconstruction and modernization of the Immortal Alliance City had sought Oudaozi's opinion.

However, he became dissatisfied when the blueprint design was completed and his memory was forcibly erased by the Immortal Alliance.

As a result, he chose to retire to the mountains and no longer contributed anything to the Immortal Alliance.

Even without any official position, Oudaozi wasn't someone Li Fan could easily invite at the moment.

So Li Fan decided to directly use the "True Temptation Fruit."

Oudaozi had decent strength himself, coupled with his unique talent, which was not something to be wasted.

The only difficulty was how to deceive and persuade him to swallow the True Temptation Fruit.

Li Fan, who had experience in this matter, had prepared several plans to act according to the situation.

If all else failed, he could only resort to persuading him with force.

After staying in the Spiritwood Realm for a few more days, Li Fan collected the 100 copies of the Immortal Alliance entrance exam question bank that Shang Tiangi had duplicated.

Only then did he set out with Lin Ling and Tianyang.

Still walking among the flows of the earth veins.

It must be said that with Lin Ling, daily travels in the Profound Yellow Realm have become much more convenient.

After half a day, they reached their destination.

Guanglanzhou, the Revival Mountain.

This province is located to the south of the Immortal Alliance, relatively remote and not very prosperous. It's almost on the same level as the Congyun Sea region.

However, the Revival Mountain within this province has gained some notoriety.

Originally named the "Baoyuan Mountain," about two years ago, the once calm and peaceful Guanglanzhou suddenly experienced a severe earthquake.

Thousands of cultivators witnessed Baoyuan Mountain collapsing with a tremendous roar.

The phenomenon lasted for almost half a day, and many cultivators, unable to escape in time, perished.

When the shocked cultivators were still trying to comprehend the situation, something astonishing happened.

Under the gaze of countless cultivators, Baoyuan Mountain, which had already collapsed and turned into a vast abyss underground, actually reappeared under the cover of a yellow light!

At that moment, it was as if a shattered porcelain had been restored, or like tea spilled into a river returning to the cup.

As if time had reversed, the originally ruined Baoyuan Mountain miraculously reverted to its former state!

Such a bizarre event was destined to cause a great sensation.

However, because it was too fantastical, cultivators who didn't witness it firsthand simply couldn't believe it.

Nevertheless, even though the mountain reappeared, the impact of its collapse hadn't disappeared.

The deaths of cultivators during the mountain collapse and the upheaval caused by the collapsing mountain veins were undeniable.

After extensive investigation and analysis, even if they didn't believe it, most cultivators eventually accepted this fact.

They became increasingly curious about how such a strange event had occurred.

The Immortal Alliance was no exception.

Several investigation teams were sent to thoroughly examine Baoyuan Mountain, but the cause remained elusive.

As time passed without any progress, the Immortal Alliance had to temporarily give up the grand investigation.

Only one investigator remained on site.

Occasionally, cultivators who had heard about the events of the past came to explore the area and learn more.

Because Baoyuan Mountain now had a new name, "Revival Mountain."

However, the scenery of Revival Mountain was average, with nothing particularly attractive. Over time, fewer and fewer people came, and it gradually faded from people's memories.

Li Fan had visited before during one of his previous cycles, but found nothing unusual.

This time, if it weren't for Oudaozi, he wouldn't have revisited the place.

Having found out the specific residence of the target, Li Fan and his group headed straight to Revival Mountain.

Upon arrival, they discovered that the thatched cottage in the mountain was already abandoned.

"Hmm?" Li Fan couldn't help but furrow his brows.

Sweeping his divine sense through the cottage and carefully examining the traces, Li Fan found that the person had left not long ago.

Moreover, besides Oudaozi, there seemed to be traces of another person living there.

"It's a child, should be Oudaozi's son." After recalling some information, Li Fan made a judgment.

"But they left so hastily..."

"Are they avoiding some enemies?" Li Fan rubbed his chin.

"Master, do you want to find the people in this cottage? I can locate them." Just when Li Fan was somewhat puzzled, Lin Ling took the initiative to speak.

"Oh? Do you have a way?" Li Fan became interested.

He had just tried to track Oudaozi, and the latter intentionally erased his own traces to avoid being followed.

"There are many trees in the mountains; just ask them." Lin Ling said somewhat shyly.

With Li Fan's approval, Lin Ling excitedly began to perform a spell.

In an instant, specks of green light dots surged from various places in Revival Mountain.

Forming a river of green light, they entered Lin Ling's body.

"I see them!"

Shortly after, Lin Ling clapped her hands in joy and flew away.

Li Fan and Tianyang followed closely.

"It's interesting; instead of escaping through the Tiancheng Transmission Array, they ran into the wilderness."

"Are they fleeing in panic, or..."

Following the escape trajectory, Li Fan, who initially had an indifferent attitude, became genuinely interested.

Chapter 833: Reversing the Universe Principle

After about half a cup of tea's time, Li Fan and his group found the hiding place in a cave at the bottom of a deep valley.

With formations concealing the entrance and secret techniques hiding their aura, even a diligent cultivator would find it challenging to discover the entrance.

However, in front of Li Fan, who possessed the "End Disintegration Disc," and Lin Ling, who had eyes and ears throughout the mountain, all these defenses were full of loopholes.

Yet, what surprised Li Fan again was that there was no one inside the cave!

Even though they had recently fled, their aura had not dissipated!

Li Fan couldn't help narrowing his eyes.

"This is..."

"Are they avoiding me?"

"They knew in advance that I would come looking for them?"

"Is it a prophecy, or..."

Suddenly, Li Fan remembered the incident of Revival Mountain collapsing and reappearing.

"Time reversal?"

In that instant of speculation, Li Fan's heart couldn't help but beat rapidly. However, given his extensive experiences, he quickly regained his composure.

"It's just a guess, not necessarily true."

"After capturing the father and son, we'll have the answers."

Driven by the excitement of his long-lost intense emotions, Li Fan looked at Lin Ling again.

Lin Ling, however, looked around and shook her head, "They haven't left this cave."

Upon hearing this, Li Fan carefully examined again, "No signs of spatial teleportation. Could it be..."

Li Fan and Lin Ling simultaneously looked underground.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Li Fan's mouth as he lazily ordered, "Let's follow."

Lin Ling nodded, and a green light enveloped her, drilling into the ground.

In theory, the underground was dark and hard to discern directions, making it easy to escape pursuit.

However, among Li Fan's group, there was Lin Ling, who had established a connection with the ancient trees of the Earth Veins!

Although the underground space was vast, it was all territory controlled by the Earth Veins' ancient trees.

Every move couldn't escape their scrutiny!

Guided by Lin Ling, Li Fan and the others quickly found traces of the opponents' actions.

At the same time, Li Fan also noticed that they had only walked a short distance underground before hastily returning to the surface.

"Did they realize we were chasing them again?"

"They are truly elusive."

Thinking so, he returned to the surface once again.

This time, Lin Ling sensed that the father and son, Ou Daozi, had fled into the sky.

Unfortunately, the art of flying would undoubtedly leave behind spiritual energy fluctuations.

Soon, Lin Ling found the direction of their escape.

With Li Fan closely following, no matter how Ou Daozi and his son changed their direction or set up suspicious formations, they couldn't escape Lin Ling's tracking.

Finally, it seemed that Ou Daozi and his son gave up struggling and no longer fled, standing silently in the clouds ahead, waiting.

"This little Lin Ling is really useful." Catching up at last and looking at the figures in front of him, one large and one small, Li Fan couldn't help sighing.

"I wonder why the senior went to such lengths to pursue us," Ou Daozi faced Li Fan's trio, calmly asking with clasped hands.

"Originally, my family's construction was about to start, and I wanted to ask for your help. Unexpectedly, I got an unexpected gain," Li Fan's eyes squinted, scanning the two figures.

Ou Daozi's son, about eight or nine years old, didn't have a handsome appearance, but facing Li Fan, who faintly released a murderous aura, he remained unperturbed, displaying a certain demeanor.

Especially his gaze, staring fiercely at Li Fan, as if nursing some deep-seated hatred.

Although the two had never seen each other before, the way they behaved...

It seemed to confirm Li Fan's suspicions even more.

Ou Daozi also noticed his son's abnormality and changed his expression. He blocked his son behind him and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about!"

Li Fan snorted, "The collapse and reappearance of Revival Mountain, is it your son's handiwork?"

"What kind of ability does he have? Could it be the legendary art of time reversal?"

Although Li Fan appeared to be only a Golden Core cultivator, with Lin Ling and Tianyang, one in the Harmonious Path and the other in Nascent Soul, both recognized him as their leader.

Ou Daozi couldn't figure out Li Fan's true cultivation level. He only said, "Senior, please don't joke. How could there be such a thing as the reversal of time in this world..."

"As for my son's magical powers..."

As Ou Daozi spoke, he deliberately lowered his voice, deliberately not saying something.

As if waiting for something!

Li Fan's heart suddenly sounded an alarm, "Binding Insect!"

The target was not Ou Daozi but his son!

The child instantly lost control, but there was no panic in his eyes.

As if everything was within his expectations.

At the same time, Tianyang's body suddenly swelled into a black and red interspersed sphere, surrounding Li Fan in the center.

"Boom!"

Without knowing what collided, a huge roar erupted.

Li Fan suddenly felt dizzy, and Tianyang's puppet body showed cracks.

Fortunately, Lin Ling intervened in time to save them, avoiding a fate of being torn apart.

"What the hell is this!"

Li Fan cursed silently, looking at the true status panel. The progress of protective energy hadn't decreased.

His heart instantly calmed down.

In his mind, the Dao Stone's blue light flickered, slowing down the recorded scenes countless times.

Only then did he see the culprit behind the recent incident and everything that happened in the blink of an eye.

The attacker, too fast for Lin Ling and Tianyang to react, turned out to be an arrow.

Ou Daozi and his son seemed to have anticipated its flight trajectory, deliberately lingering in front, luring Li Fan and the others to the arrow's path.

While delaying time, they waited for the moment the arrow hit Li Fan.

At that moment, a yellow light burst from Ou Daozi's son, seemingly ignoring the arrow's speed, accurately locking onto it.

Then, in an instant, the arrow, seemingly without changing its forward direction, strangely flew back to its original position!

Enveloped in yellow light, Ou Daozi and his son, leveraging the unimaginable speed of the arrow, instantly escaped the encirclement of Li Fan and the others!

"Master, they're gone. They've run too far, and I can't sense their aura," Lin Ling said with some self-blame.

Tianyang also shook his head, feeling guilty.

Li Fan waved his hand, not concerned.

Reviewing the recent events again, Li Fan vaguely understood the opponent's supernatural power.

It wasn't the imagined time reversal...

Or maybe it had some connection.

Reversing the state of an object to a certain time ago!

Falling on a seven or eight-year-old child, Li Fan was not surprised but delighted.

Because, since his reincarnation, this was the only cultivator he had encountered with a connection to the way of time.

"Run? Can they really escape?"

"Escaping temporarily doesn't mean escaping forever!"

"Once I've set my sights on them, there's no possibility of escape!"

Li Fan's gaze flickered, and dozens of thoughts on how to deal with the situation flashed through his mind.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 834: Alliance's Pursuit and Blockade

"First, we need to understand what's going on with that arrow."

After a thorough investigation by Li Fan's clone, Ji Shao Li, he spent a considerable amount of money to find the answer.

"The Celestial Patrol Arrow. One of the latest developments by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to counter the Five Elders' major offensive."

"Its speed is unimaginable. It can circle the entire territory of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance in just one day, automatically locking onto suspicious targets, descending from the sky, causing devastating strikes."

"Below the Harmony Realm, it can almost instantly kill. Even Harmony Realm cultivators, if unprepared, would be severely injured on the spot."

Li Fan carefully read the information on the Celestial Patrol Arrow, his expression solemn.

"Most importantly, this thing can be mass-produced. It is estimated that there are at least five Celestial Patrol Arrows patrolling the airspace of the Immortals Alliance."

"In times of war, dozens of arrows can probably be launched simultaneously, creating an absolute advantage in the aerial environment."

Li Fan couldn't help but furrow his brows.

The power of this Celestial Patrol Arrow was indeed formidable. If Tianyang and Lin Ling hadn't intervened, he would have suffered a bitter defeat.

Moreover, as a weapon of war, the Celestial Patrol Arrow had exemption clauses.

In other words, if you were unlucky enough to be in the flight path of the Celestial Patrol Arrow and got hit, dying without anyone taking responsibility...

It was a pointless death.

"So, it seems that Ou Daozi and his son have nothing to do with this Celestial Patrol Arrow."

"They simply predicted the trajectory of the arrow, wanting to use it to kill and take the opportunity to escape."

Li Fan nodded inwardly.

After understanding the general situation, Li Fan began his own plan.

Ou Daozi and his son probably never expected that Li Fan's retaliation would come so quickly.

And it was completely unreasonable!

In just three days, a video spread throughout almost the entire Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

The bizarre content of the video shocked countless cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, and feelings of killing intent and greed surged.

Yes, Li Fan directly gave up the plan to search for Ou Daozi and his son alone.

Instead, he made public the fact that they possessed divine artifacts with extraordinary powers!

Normally, people are greedy and selfish.

When they learn that the other party possesses a supreme treasure, they will surely do everything possible to take it for themselves.

Planning quietly and keeping as few people informed as possible is usually the best strategy.

Even if one lacks the ability, seeking help or simply selling the secret for a good price...

In any case, this kind of thing should only be circulated within a small circle.

But Li Fan didn't follow the rules at all. Without any hesitation or greed, in just a few days, he made this matter widely known!

From an outsider's perspective, Li Fan indeed seemed to be harming others without benefiting himself.

There are so many cultivators in the world! Even if the secrets on Ou Daozi and his son change hands, they will probably have nothing to do with Li Fan.

Just to vent his anger, he even gave up the opportunity to profit from it...

It was truly an unwise and seemingly crazy act.

In fact, if it weren't for Huan Zhen, Li Fan would definitely not do this.

But since there was Huan Zhen, there was no need to rush for something at once.

"The kid is indeed tricky. Let the Immortals Alliance cultivators explore the road for me and see if there's any strategy to capture them."

"In the next life, I'll follow suit." Li Fan's eyes flickered.

And Li Fan's plan can be said to have worked quite well.

Predicting the future, the art of reversing time!

As long as they have seen the abilities displayed by Ou Daozi and his son in the video, there is no one who won't be moved and want to make it their own!

For a while, a craze for finding Ou Daozi swept through the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

Several families even offered huge rewards. As long as they provided information on the whereabouts of Ou Daozi and his son, they would receive substantial rewards, including the highest-level Harmony Realm techniques.

"Even if you can run, the world is not that big, and there is no place for you to hide." Li Fan, who orchestrated all this, looked at the increasingly crazed cultivators, thought of Ou Daozi's son's somewhat mocking expression, and coldly snorted in his heart.

When the cultivators of the entire Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance join forces to accomplish the same task, how terrifying can their efficiency be?

The process of exploring the Mist and Small Worlds in the 115th generation has long provided the answer.

Less than five days after the video was released, Ou Daozi and his son, hiding in the deep forest, were found by someone. Although they managed to escape through cunning means, now that they had revealed themselves, with the gaze of countless Immortal Alliance cultivators and the encirclement and pursuit, their capture was certainly not far away.

What surprised Li Fan was that they persisted longer than expected.

During this process, their abilities and information were slowly probed.

Ou Daozi's son is named Ou Shangtian. Predicting the future and reversing the universe are all Ou Shangtian's personal abilities. Currently, it is speculated that these abilities may come from Ou Shangtian's companion artifact.

As for predicting the future, it is different from the previous speculation. Not all details of the future can be predicted. It seems that Ou Shangtian only senses threats to his life, and when that happens, he predicts.

In simple terms, he can foresee countless ways of his own death, thus avoiding misfortune and finding a way to survive.

As for reversing the universe, it is consistent with Li Fan's speculation. It does not actually reverse time but rather reverses the state of objects and energy to a certain point in the past. During this process, a mysterious connection can be formed between oneself and the object.

For example, Ou Shangtian once reversed dozens of attacks launched against him, gaining the ability to counterattack. He then wiped out the group of attacking cultivators and left unscathed.

However, the power to reverse the universe cannot be used limitlessly. Each time it is released, Ou Shangtian needs to rest for a period before being able to continue casting.

After the truth was revealed, many cultivators were disappointed and gave up pursuing Ou Shangtian. Indeed, although these two abilities were powerful, there was still a considerable gap from the imagined power to reverse time.

Nevertheless, a significant number of cultivators continued the pursuit. After all, in the past, cultivators with such talents were all absorbed by major forces, enjoying a respected status. The chance to kick someone who is already down is quite rare.

Knowing Ou Shangtian's specific abilities, during the subsequent pursuit, cultivators cooperated seamlessly. When planning, they were not ruthless, only seeking to capture him alive.

This made Ou Shangtian's predictive ability mostly ineffective. They attacked at different times, using a continuous and coordinated approach to wear down his ability to reverse the universe.

Gradually, Ou Shangtian found it increasingly difficult to escape. In the end, on the tenth day after the video was released, father and son found themselves in a desperate situation.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 835: Immortal's Intervention

At the critical moment, Ou Shangtian erupted once again. A brilliant yellow light enveloped an area of tens of thousands of meters.

The affected cultivators had their states reverted to the time when Ou Shangtian was surrounded. By the time they realized it, Ou Shangtian and his son had disappeared without a trace.

Despite their frantic pursuit, they discovered that only Ou Shangtian remained in their escape.

After resisting for half a day, it was a lucky individual named Xie Xiantao who eventually captured him. Faced with the scrutiny of other cultivators, Xie Xiantao made a wise decision.

He handed Ou Shangtian over to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance in exchange for a bounty.

In fact, during the escape, Ou Shangtian killed more than a hundred Immortal Alliance cultivators. Although it was in self-defense, it still violated the laws of the Immortal Alliance.

Ou Shangtian was already a repeat offender within the Immortal Alliance.

While the official response had not been issued earlier, it didn't mean they weren't paying attention to the situation. Indeed, shortly after Xie Xiantao publicly announced his decision, a team of black-robed cultivators arrived, taking him and the barely alive Ou Shangtian away.

The widely-discussed grand pursuit event came to an end.

As for the other protagonist of the incident, Ou Shangtian's father, Ou Daozi, had become inconspicuous. Except for Li Fan.

In a dark forest in Luo Yanzhou, Ou Daozi hid beneath layers of piled-up dry leaves, heavily injured. However, thinking about how his son had sacrificed himself to protect him, overextending his abilities to divert the enemy, Ou Daozi felt a heart-wrenching pain.

"Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance..."

Ou Daozi's eyes were bloodshot, and the faces of those who participated in the pursuit kept flashing in his mind, filling him with resentment. But at this moment, he dared not move, fearing discovery. He silently nursed his injuries.

"Sigh..."

At this moment, a sigh suddenly sounded. Ou Daozi was startled and attempted to flee, but it was too late. Three familiar figures had appeared beside him without him noticing.

"It's you!" Looking at Li Fan, the mastermind behind all this, Ou Daozi's eyes were filled with intense hatred. He was on the verge of exploding, ready to perish together with Li Fan.

But he was suppressed by Lin Ling and Tian Yang working together.

Originally weaker, he was now heavily injured, losing most of his combat power.

Before long, he was completely controlled.

"Strange, why are you looking at me with that expression?"

"I originally just wanted to ask for your help in designing buildings. However, before we even had a chance to meet, you hastily fled, even using schemes to plot against my life. If it weren't for my good fortune, I'm afraid I would have paid the price right then and there."

"I haven't settled the score with you yet."

"Besides, everyone chasing and capturing your son is all from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. What does it have to do with me?"

Li Fan wore an innocent expression.

"Absurd!" Seeing Li Fan spouting nonsense in broad daylight, Ou Daozi was infuriated.

Blood vessels bulged on his forehead, pulsating incessantly.

It seemed like he was about to confront Li Fan head-on, a fight to the death.

"Your mindset is wrong." Li Fan shook his head slightly.

Taking out a crystal-clear fruit, he revealed a friendly smile.

"Here, open your mouth. Eat this, and you'll understand."

A sense of foreboding surged in Ou Daozi's heart: "What is this thing?"

Li Fan didn't answer.

He handed the True Induction Fruit to Lin Ling, forcefully feeding Ou Daozi.

As the fruit entered his stomach, Ou Daozi's struggles gradually weakened.

His gaze toward Li Fan also began to change.

"Don't you want to save your son? Although the companion mystical items usually can't be transferred, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has too many methods. Your son might suffer some unknown fate."

Li Fan whispered.

"Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance!" Ou Daozi's eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

"The Immortal Alliance has no morals but a vast influence. To overthrow it and rescue your son, you need to plan carefully."

"We, the Alliance of Ten Realms, were born for this purpose!"

...

Under the influence of the True Induction Fruit, Ou Daozi's will was quickly rewritten.

He joined the Alliance of Ten Realms, striving to overthrow the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

For like-minded individuals like Li Fan, he became extremely supportive.

From Ou Daozi, Li Fan also learned the secret of Ou Shangtian's companion mystical item.

"My son has two companion mystical items."

"One, I've known since he was a child. It's the 'Book of Ten Thousand Deaths,' which can predict various ways of his own death."

"The other, the 'Kun Qian Bone Hand,' capable of reversing the universe, awakened two years ago during the collapse of the Guiyuan Mountain."

"At that time, he was only in the early Qi refining stage, unexpectedly facing a natural disaster like the collapse of the mountain. His life was hanging by a thread."

"At the critical moment, his potential exploded, activating the hidden ability of the 'Kun Qian Bone Hand.'"

"The mountain collapsed and then reappeared; this is truly astonishing. So, this kid has been keeping it from me."

"Until not long ago, he hurriedly found me and advised me to leave. He said he foresaw a very formidable group of people about to come knocking on the door..."

Having arrived at the Spirit Wood Realm, Ou Daozi recounted the ins and outs of the situation to Li Fan.

Li Fan remained calm: "Countless futures, countless possibilities. What he foresaw may not necessarily be true."

"If I really intend to take action, relying on these two alone, you would be powerless to resist."

Ou Daozi's eyes showed confusion for a moment, then he sighed: "A misunderstanding has led to the difficulty of me and my son meeting again."

"There will be opportunities. Friend, what do you think of my Spirit Wood Realm?" Li Fan changed the subject, pointing to the small world under construction, which was flourishing.

"Oh, oh, oh..." Ou Daozi observed for a while, shaking his head repeatedly, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"It's a good place, but the design and construction plans are really subpar..."

"It doesn't quite match the prestige of the Alliance of Ten Realms."

Li Fan, hearing this, didn't show any annoyance. Instead, he clasped his hands: "Then I'll trouble you, friend, to make some improvements."

Ou Daozi squinted his eyes, nodding in agreement.

Already deeply immersed in this path, Ou Daozi quickly became absorbed in his own plans and ideas.

"Friend, feel free to do as you wish. If you need anything, just tell the leader of this realm tree."

With Li Fan's approval, Ou Daozi temporarily forgot the previous grief and threw himself wholeheartedly into the construction of the Spirit Wood Realm.

"Although it took some twists and turns, the initial goal has been achieved."

"Kun Qian Bone Hand, Book of Ten Thousand Deaths..."

Li Fan furrowed his brows slightly.

According to Ou Daozi, Ou Shangtian had not fully mastered the ability of Kun Qian Bone Hand.

During the escape, he seemed to sense that there was a powerful ability still hidden and untapped.

If given a little more time, he might truly achieve some degree of time reversal.

However, this was just Ou Shangtian's speculation.

The specifics were still unconfirmed.

The crucial point was that the Kun Qian Bone Hand was indeed a bone from a certain existence.
