Along with the profound sense of weakness came the sporadic memories belonging to Tianyang himself.
Master is a good person.
The eldest senior brother is handsome, and he is also a good person.
Second senior brother is a bit strange, but he’s a good person too.
The third senior brother is quiet, but he is the best person.
What a mess!
It took Li Fan quite a while to sort out Tianyang’s disordered memories.
Picked up by Master in the wilderness, and brought up.
Weak and sick from a young age, he had to take medicine every day to maintain his health.
Fortunately, even though the sect wasn’t populous, all the senior brothers were excellent people.
They took very good care of him, doting on him.
Strugglingly lifting his head to look at his own body, which was similar to a five or six years old child’s, Li Fan finally understood what was going on.
The mind of a child is simple.
And because Tianyang’s body was extremely weak, his activities were confined to the small mountain gate.
Spending more than half his time deep sleep wasn’t unusual either.
Having memories of those close to him seemed perfectly normal. “I don’t even know the names of Master and my senior brothers.”
“But I do know the name of the sect, Body Transformation Dao…”
Li Fan, who had figured out the general situation, was about to prop his body up to observe his surroundings.
But he was suddenly hit by a wave of fatigue.
“This little fellow’s body is absurdly weak,” thought Li Fan just before he fell into a heavy sleep again.
In a daze, he lost track of time.
It seemed to Li Fan that he heard a series of urgent and consecutive bell sounds.
He tried to open his eyes, but he just couldn’t.
Fell into deep sleep again.
Li Fan was awakened by a conversation near his ears.
“What nonsense about the Immortal summons, why bother? Those large sects have countless members, sending a few people is of no matter to them.”
“We, Body Transformation Dao, have so few people, and they expect us to go to the frontline? What kind of reasoning is that?”
Listening in, it seemed that these words were being spoken by the second senior brother, who had a temper, straightforward, and always spoke his mind, was impulsive.
“Nonsense! The Immortal summons issued by the Ten Great Immortal Sects is not something you can ignore if you wish.”
“Haven’t you heard that our neighboring Xinghuo Dao was annihilated just because they refused to accept the order?”
“To put it bluntly, Xinghuo Dao is much stronger than our Body Transformation Dao.”
“This rascal knows no bounds, making wild remarks all day!”
“In the past, it was fine during peaceful times. But today is different than in the past, Ling Xiao. You must be cautious and not bring disaster to our sect!” A helpless, aged voice sternly reprimanded.
Just like the voice of the man who fed him medicine earlier, it was their Master, the Sect Leader of Body Transformation Dao.
Second senior brother Ling Xiao remained silent.
The surroundings fell into an awkward silence.
It was a dismissive voice that broke the silence.
“I’ll go. After all, I’m the eldest senior brother.”
“Perfect, I’ll get to show those barbarians how keen my sword really is.”
“Si Xing…” the Master sighed, seeming to pat the eldest senior brother on the shoulder.
The eldest senior brother walked to the bedside, seemingly examining the Tianyang possessed by Li Fan.
After a long time, he finally said, “Ah, it’s a pity that I won’t be able to wait for the little junior brother to wake up and say goodbye.”
A thought crossed Li Fan’s mind, and he was about to open his eyes to speak, but a wave of fatigue suddenly overcame him again.
Unable to resist it, he fell asleep once more.
Li Fan awoke again after an unknown period.
This time he felt much better, at least he could get out of bed and move around with difficulty.
“Master! Master!”
The place was eerily silent with no trace of anyone around.
So Li Fan softly called out.
“Junior brother Tianyang, you’re awake?” A man in white hurried over at the sound.
His hair was messy, and his eyes were bloodshot.
“Second senior brother, what happened to you?”
“Where are Master, eldest senior brother, third senior brother? Why can’t I see them?” Li Fan couldn’t help but ask.
Ling Xiao forced a smile: “It’s nothing, they’re all in the main hall discussing matters.”
“Here, this is the Mechanism Puppet I promised to give you. I went through a lot of hardship to trade for this.” He brought out a small humanoid puppet and handed it over.
Li Fan took the puppet and examined it. He found that its shape and appearance were very similar to the Tianyang Puppet he had seen in the future. “Once vou have this puppet, when vou’re tired or can’t walk, vou can let it carrv you around. You won’t have to rely on eldest senior brother all the time…” Ling Xiao’s voice gradually faded.
When Li Fan looked up, he saw that the second senior brother’s eyes had turned bloodshot.
“Second senior brother…
“Hehe, it’s nothing. You stay here and play with the puppet for a while, I have some matters to discuss with Master.” With that, Ling Xiao patted Li Fan’s head and turned to leave.
Li Fan waited for a while, then quietly followed.
However, the main hall doors were tightly shut, and it seemed there were protective barriers, so he couldn’t see what was happening inside.
Helpless, Li Fan decided to go and look around the other areas of the sect first.
As if remembering something, Li Fan, with the young body of Tianyang, struggled his way to the ancestral hall of the Body Transformation Dao Sect.
With all his might, Li Fan managed to push open the heavy doors.
At the bottom of the not too many spirit tablets, Li Fan did indeed find the one belonging to eldest senior brother Si Xing.
After pondering for a moment, Li Fan performed a ritual, then slowly exited.
He closed the doors again, intending to wander around other places.
However, the fatigue in his body returned once more.
Like he hasn’t eaten for days and nights, Li Fan’s body began to tremble uncontrollably.
“It seems that Tianyang’s body has some kind of latent disease; it’s not just simple weakness.”
Walking had become a problem, Li Fan had the Mechanism Puppet in his hand and tried control it.
In an instant, the Mechanism Puppet changed from toy-sized to the size of a normal adult.
Under Li Fan’s command, it carried Li Fan back to the room.
“This puppet seems to have only a bit more strength than an ordinary person and doesn’t have any cultivation.”
Li Fan, lying on the bed with this thought in his mind, finally gave in and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Then, Li Fan was awakened by a sound as loud as thunder.
“Esteemed Envoy, please spare our Body Transformation Dao.”
“Including me, Body Transformation Dao only has five members.”
“In just a few years, two of my disciples have tragically died in the front lines.”
“If this continues, even if the enemy doesn’t kill us, our Tao Lineage of Body Transformation Dao will be severed! ”
The Master’s mournful voice kept resonating.
However, the other party seemed completely indifferent: “Don’t complain to me. I’ve seen sects worse off than yours, so what?”
“Within seven days, one more person must be sent to join the expedition.”
“Otherwise…”
“Choose between one dying or everyone dying!”
