Celestial Dharma Bearer, Supreme Primordial Scripture.

The name of an object contained two extremely sensitive terms which inevitably stirred Li Fan’s nerves.

Li Fan approached this half-open scroll, locking it with his divine sense.

Product information immediately surfaced.

“The Law Sovereign’s Seizure of the Supreme Original Scripture Diagram”

“Several years ago, Celestial Dharma Bearer personally went to Supreme Sect, desiring to borrow the ‘Supreme Primordial Scripture’ for a glimpse.”

“At that time, a cultivator who was proficient in painting just happened to be a guest at Supreme Sect.”

“Hence, he used the brush to record this scene.”

“Duplicate.”

“It is advisable to burn it after reading.”

“Not recommended for Cultivator of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals to carry with them.”

“Strongly not recommend for Five Elders’ Monk to carry with them.”

“Price: 200 contribution points.”

Li Fan carefully checked the price again and asked with a strange face, “This picture only sells for 200 contribution points? Can it also be called forbidden goods?”

The shopkeeper by the side patiently explained, “Because it is a duplicate and can be mass-produced, the price is very cheap.”

“And the reason why it is identified as a taboo item, is because this piece of work involves two Sovereigns.”

“If you display it at random, it will cause no small amount of trouble.” Li Fan glanced at this and his face lightened, “Two Sovereigns…”

He promptly paid the fee and purchased it.

Just then, Li Fan suddenly became aware, “Will there be any trouble after looking at this picture?”

The shopkeeper chuckled, “This esteemed guest should be aware that this painting does not have any distortion or slander. It is simply a record of the scene at that time from the perspective of an observer.”

“Furthermore, in the eyes of the Celestial Being, we cultivators are no different from ants.”

“The Celestial Being simply does not care about our words and deeds.”

“The real trouble comes from those below the Celestial Being, those who are eager to show their loyalty…”

The shopkeeper stopped at this point and did not say anything more.

Li Fan slowly nodded, spent 200 contribution points, and bought this painting.

He held the scroll in his hand, and without unfolding it, his divine sense instantly entered the picture.

His surroundings changed abruptly, as if in an instant, he had traveled through time and space, arriving in the scene from thousands of years ago.

High above the vast Cloud Sea, thirty-three floating peaks were successively initiating the Sect Protection Great Array.

A high crowned old man, with a serene expression, came forth, treading in midair.

“I heard that the Supreme Sect has an original scripture which is profound and mysterious, known as the source of all laws and the zenith of all ways.”

“But now, calamity is descending, and the barriers cannot be repaired together.

For the sake of all, I ask to borrow the scripture for a peek!”

His voice was calm and relaxed, instantly spreading across heaven and earth.

The boundless cloud sea disoersed. revealing the mortal world beneath.

The sky suddenly dimmed, revealing a river of stars.

A cold voice devoid of any emotion resounded from the thirty-three peaks of Supreme Sect, suppressing the strange scene.

“The lives and deaths of all cultivators are none of my concern.”

“Kindly retreat, fellow Daoist!”

The high crowned old man shook his head slightly, a look of pity for the world appearing on his face.

“If that’s the case, how does my borrowing of the scripture have anything to do with you, Supreme Sect?”

The old man stepped forth and in an instant, he arrived in front of the thirty-three peaks.

“Boom!”

An intense vibration came forth, an overwhelming white light engulfing everything in his field of vision.

The content of the painting abruptly ended here, and Li Fan’s divine sense withdrew from the painting.

Although what happened next was not described in the painting, the outcome of this battle is clear as day when considering the current state where everyone knows and practices the remnant chapters of the “Supreme Primordial Scripture”.

Li Fan put away the scroll and couldn’t help but sink into a brief moment of contemplation.

“So, it turns out that the method of scattered practice that is heavily relied upon by all of today’s cultivators also comes from the Celestial Dharma

Beares. ”

“It can be said that without this method of switching to other techniques with hardly any loss, a method that can be described as against Heaven, the current trading system for techniques wouldn’t be able to be maintained.” “The situation for cultivators would be even more miserable.”

“For the sake of the common people…” “On the surface, it can indeed be put that way.”

“But…”

After pondering for a moment, Li Fan set his thoughts aside and continued to stroll around this Forbidden Artifacts floor.

Like this painting, commodities that become forbidden objects due to their involvement in the secrets of mighty powers are still in the minority.

The vast majority are materials with various special usages, strictly prohibited by the Five Elders’ Organization from being leaked out.

What piques Li Fan’s interest are the Enlightenment Pills he had heard about before.

And there is also a kind of portable teleportation array.

The user doesn’t need to understand much about the array techniques, merely needing to position the two ends of the teleportation array in suitable, open locations.

The teleportation array will automatically construct and activate.

In the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals, the construction of teleportation arrays is considered highly confidential information.

Li Fan has not been able to access this knowledge to date.

Enlightenment Pills, five hundred contribution points each.

Each cultivator is limited to purchasing a hundred pills.

Portable Teleportation Array, three thousand contribution points per set.

Li Fan bought two sets to be prepared for any eventuality.

After leaving the Forbidden Artifacts floor, he bought two Golden Core

Techniques and twelve Foundation Establishment Techniques in one go. He nearly spent all the three hundred top-grade spirit stones carried by his avatar, only tnen        ne stop.

When leaving the Wanfa Commerce, he was also cordially given a mask.

Wearing the mask allows the transformation of one’s appearance and physique, preventing people from tracking him.

Li Fan accepted the mask with a smile.

Turning his head to rent a guest house in Sky Long Mountain City, he initiated a ritual to first transfer the goods he had bought this time to the Vanguard Realm of Bones.

Only then did he feel slightly relieved.

The control center of the advanced world, the bone left hand, is held by both his main body and avatar.

This means that even if he encounters any accidents on the way back, at most he would only lose an avatar.

After handling the affairs, the avatar left the guest house and began to stroll around Sky Long Mountain City again.

Three days later, Qingmu and others also completed their shopping.

Just as they were preparing to return home, they encountered a group of Misthaven Sea Cultivators who had come from afar.

The group was led by a Nascent Soul Monk named Ling Meng.

Although Ling Meng and Qingmu didn’t recognize each other, they had both heard of each other’s names.

Since they were all Misthaven Sea cultivators, they decided to return home together after some discussions.

This way, they could look out for each other.

They waited a few more days before they embarked on the long journey home.

Compared with their departure, the returning team was nearly twice as large.

Two Nascent Souls, seven Gold Cores, and over twenty individuals at the Foundation Establishment stage.

The team composition was undoubtedly immense.

It deterred many people who harbored ulterior motives.

Fortunately, the journey was much more peaceful.

However, Li Fan always felt that this Nascent Soul Monk named Ling Meng seemed familiar, yet he couldn’t remember where he had seen him.

In the end, it was his original body that was cultivating in the TianXuan Mirror that singled out a strand of consciousness.

Only after carefully reviewing the past memories did he remember.

This Ling Meng was the Nascent Soul Monk who had entered Master’s Book House during the twelfth era.

He died tragically in a cave mansion exploration shortly after.

Li Fan had seen this man’s portrait in the Tiantong Hall, so he felt somewhat familiar.

In this life, Li Fan didn’t take on “The Cloud and Water Scroll” task and presumably the events around the Green Bull Cart and the Master’s reappearance won’t happen this time.

He just didn’t know if this could change this man’s destiny of falling..
