Chapter 517: 489
The wailing in the outside world became louder, and Jiao Xiuyuan, who had received the contribution points, spoke gravely to Li Fan.
As he spoke, a newly born twig remarkably stretched out from his palm.
A single green leaf, standing alone, proudly perched on the branch.
Upon hearing this, Li Fan quickly divided a strand of consciousness to fly towards the twig in Jiao Xiuyuan’s hand.
As it approached, he sensed a mysterious attraction coming from the green leaf on the branch.
Then, uncontrollably, it plunged in.
His vision gradually cleared, and in an instant, Li Fan felt like he had another body beyond his own and his clone.
Fortunately, he has the Taoist Divine One Secret Technique and is accustomed to multitasking; otherwise, he might have found it difficult to adjust.
Controlling the puppet body felt similar to cloning in terms of sensations.
However, he was acutely aware of the gap between consciousness and the physical body, unlike the seamless integration of the clone technique.
It was more like “driving”, rather than having a living additional body.
“The transaction is complete. This body is now yours to control.”
“As long as you don’t intentionally do anything disgusting, even if you destroy it, it’s fine.”
“Oh, when the puppet body is damaged, a compulsory destruction measure will be activated to prevent the attached consciousness from being captured. You might suffer some divine soul shock as a result…”
Jiao Xiuyuan’s voice rang out in Li Fan’s spirit consciousness.
Without waiting for Li Fan to respond, his voice grew fainter and fainter, and ultimately inaudible.
While the divided consciousness got used to the puppet body, Li Fan’s main body was rushing towards the location of the Breeze Hall in his memory.
At this moment, the entire Ten Thousand Immortals Island had been pulled by the Sky and Earth Swapping Array towards the purple gate door in the sky.
It was being continuously swallowed by the teleportation array, entering the territory of the Five Elders Organization.
Those cultivators who had just tried to break the blockade with their sheer numbers had all been annihilated.
Under the horrific lesson, the remaining living cultivators were all sitting on the ground in despair, waiting for their unknown fate to arrive.
Li Fan strode into the inconspicuous shop of Breeze Hall.
At this time, there was no trace of the unkempt old man.
After calling out several times and receiving no response, Li Fan hesitated for a moment before pulling out a pile of top-grade spirit stones from his storage ring to place on the ground of the Breeze Hall.
“This is for buying a lifeline. I wonder if it’s enough.”
Li Fan voiced out as a probe.
After a long silence, there was still no response.
Li Fan took out another pile of top-grade spirit stones and added them to the pile.
Counting the total amount before and after, the value had already got close to a million contribution points.
This time, the seemingly empty Breeze Hall finally showed a reaction.
A ripple of green color echoed in the air before forming a familiar green gate.
Li Fan took a step forward and walked into it.
His vision blurred, and then in the next moment, he found himself in the space he had visited before.
The ancient tree Jiao Xiuyuan had mentioned was right in front of Li Fan.
However, the human face on the tree had disappeared, making it look no different from a typical tree.
“This benefactor, you are indeed generous.”
Just as Li Fan was about to speak out, a clear female voice suddenly rang out.
“Ah Liu, since we’ve accepted his favor, let’s help him leave here.”
“Yes, Miss.” A human face suddenly appeared on the ancient tree, glanced at Li Fan and spoke in a dull voice.
“This guest, please come in.” The ancient tree opened its mouth wide, revealing a passage.
“Thank you, Miss!” Li Fan didn’t hesitate either, bowed to the direction where the voice came from, and walked into the hole on the ancient tree.
Li Fan disappeared from sight, the ancient tree closed its mouth and showed its face again.
“Miss…”
“Haha, an ancient cultivator’s speech is really interesting.”
In the air, a clear laughter like silver bells came. The branches and leaves of the ancient tree trembled slightly in response.
…
Like the feeling of riding a long-distance teleportation array, the surrounding scene changed from darkness to a dazzling array of colors, then to complete brightness.
After Li Fan adjusted to the discomfort of his body, he looked around and found himself still in the Breeze Hall.
However, the presence of a few cultivators in the hall and the unflustered chatter from the market in the distance all indicated that Li Fan had escaped from the dangerous situation and no longer stayed within the Misthaven Ocean.
After discreetly learning about his surroundings, Li Fan finally figured out his current location.
He had already arrived in the heartland of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, adjacent to Tianyun State, Xuanwei State.
The news of the fall of Ten Thousand Immortals Island seemed to have not reached here yet, so Li Fan temporarily shifted his attention back to the puppet body on the island.
As the desperate wails of the cultivators of the Alliance echoed, the island was finally completely swallowed by the purple teleportation array.
After a long period of darkness, when the sky lit up again, a peculiar scene greeted everyone.
It had just been daylight, but after passing through the purple door and arriving in the territory of the Five Elders Organization, it had turned into night.
There was no moon in the sky.
However, countless bright stars were twinkling and vying for brilliance.
Streams of starlight flowed like rivers, creating a surreal and beautiful sight.
For most of them, this was the first time in their lives seeing such a magnificent starry sky. Nine out of ten were awed by the sight and lost in its beauty.
The previously noisy Ten Thousand Immortals Island fell silent in an instant.
“Members of the Immortal Alliance, welcome to the Human Dao Sky Realm.”
A middle-aged cultivator in a white Taoist robe flew above the crowd, speaking aloud.
“I know, you may have some deep misconceptions about our Five Elders Organization. But it’s okay, it won’t take long for you to completely eliminate these misunderstandings.”
“At that time, I believe you will make the right choice, choose to abandon darkness for light and join our Five Elders Organization.”
The cultivator in white said with a smile.
Seeing that the Five Elders Organization did not appear as cruel as rumored, the crowd heaved a sigh of relief.
However, they did not believe what the white-robed cultivator referred to as a “misunderstanding.”
“First, please everyone leave the island.”
Following the white-robed cultivator’s words, a group of robust cultivators flew out.
They held sharp weapons and wore heavy armor.
Rather than calling them cultivators, they were more like soldiers.
Feeling their presence, every single one of them had cultivation at the Nascent Soul level.
The cultivators in the Immortal Alliance present all changed their expressions, dared not resist, and let them escort them off the Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
“It doesn’t seem to be targeting me; they are just interested in Ten Thousand Immortals Island.”
“Strange, what’s so peculiar about Ten Thousand Immortals Island?”
Li Fan, who had blended into the crowd, looked solemnly at the white-robed cultivator in the distance who entered the Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
Many powerful cultivators appeared one after another, entering the island.
Explosive sounds echoed, and the buildings on the island crumbled one after another.
They seemed to be searching for something.
