The only response from the other side was a silence akin to death.
After a moment, the voice on the other side softened considerably, whispering gently.
“Master Guangyang, you understand the danger of the predicament we are in,” he tenderly advised.
“It’s not that we, the Ten Great Immortal Sects, want to torment you. The battlefield dynamics are critical. We have reached a crucial moment.”
“Yes, your small rural schools have suffered, but are we, the forerunners, any better off?”
“In our Sky Sword Sect alone, more than half of my fellow disciples have died in battle.”
“Soon, I fear, I too will have to go to battle.”
“The war has reached this stage. There’s no way out.”
After a long while, Master Guangyang sighed, “I understand.”
” I will accompany the envoy this time.”
“Master!” A somewhat hoarse voice exclaimed in disbelief before Master Guangyang halted it.
“My mind is made up, Lian Chang. There is no need to convince me!”
“Excellent! Admirable determination! Since it is so, I won’t overstay. Remember, you must head to Misthaven Mountain to join us within seven days.”
After the envoy had left, Master Guangyang spoke to the third apprentice, “Lian Chang, follow me. I have instructions for you.” “Yes, Master.” Lian Chang choked back tears.
Their voices faded into the distance. Li Fan slipped into unconsciousness once more.
“Tianyang, Tianyang!”
“It’s time for you to take your medicine. The herbs we’ve been getting lately are distributed by major sects and are of a higher quality than the ones we had before.”
“I believe you’ll recover in no time.”
The normally silent third senior brother suddenly seemed talkative.
He fed Tianyang his medicine while recounting stories and facts about the world of immortal cultivation.
“Third Senior Brother, did Master and the other senior brothers also not come back?” Li Fan abruptly asked.
Lian Chang froze mid-motion.
After a moment, he forced a smile and said, “Little brother, there is no need to worry. It’s more important to recover.” “Our master, he will surely return.”
“He definitely will.”
Lian Chang repeated the statement as if to reassure himself.
Li Fan nodded gently.
The warm concoction settled in his stomach, making him feel much better. A wave of tiredness overcame him, and Li Fan once again fell asleep.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Li Fan was awakened by the sound of fighting.
The voice of his third senior brother echoed from a distance, “It’s always the
‘final battle’, the ‘crucial moment’.”
“How long has the fighting been going on? How many have died?”
“It never stops!”
“I won’t go. Kill me!”
“I would end up dead at the frontline anvwav!”
The other voice sounded just as exhausted, “Lian Chang, don’t force my hand.”
“Just because you want to die doesn’t mean you can. If I turn you into a Fairy Puppet and sent you to fight, I’d also be fulfilling my duty.”
“It’s only because your master, Guangyang, saved my life on the battlefield once. I promised him that I would take good care of you from the Body Transformation Dao before he died.”
“For me to come here personally and explain it to you shows how far I’ve gone.” “Otherwise, you would have been arrested long ago.”
“Make the best use of the remaining time and take care of any affairs you have.”
“That youngster called Tianyang, Master Guangyang also mentioned him.”
“His physical condition fits your sect’s Self-Sublimating Technique very well. As long as he manages to overcome his illness, he will definitely be able to rejuvenate the Body Transformation Dao.”
“I understand that the Body Transformation Dao has made many sacrifices.”
“When the war is over, when rewards are given for contributions, I will apply for an additional Supreme Foundation Pill for Tianyang so as to improve his constitution.”
“This is the Supreme Sect’s incomparable elixir, even the normal internal disciples of the Supreme Sect aren’t qualified to use it.”
With constant convincing, Lian Chang finally agreed.
“I’m willing to follow you to the frontline, but on one condition. I want the Supreme Foundation Pill before I leave.” Lian Chang spoke with determination. “My junior brother’s body is too weak, he often falls asleep. Without this elixir to change his fate, he can’t take care of himself.”
“You…”
The other person exhaled a sigh.
After a long while, they finally slowly said, “Fine, let me try.”
After the person left, Lian Chang walked over to Li Fan and seemed to talk for a long time.
But in his drowsy sleep, Li Fan couldn’t hear clearly.
After an unknowable amount of time, Li Fan was awakened by Lian Changs excited voice, “Little brother, quickly take this elixir.”
“Once ingested, you’ll recover.”
Lian Chang fed Li Fan a Supreme Foundation Pill and watched with unwavering attention. When he saw that there were no adverse reactions, he seemed to relax.
Another familiar voice rang out, “Now that the elixir has worked its magic, it’s time for us to depart quickly.”
“If we delay the final battle, I won’t be able to protect you.”
Lian Chang reached out and touched Li Fan’s head.
“Take care, junior brother.”
The footsteps faded away, and the heavy door closed with a bang.
The Body Transforming Taoist Mansion fell into absolute silence.
Meanwhile, Li Fan, half-asleep and half-awake, felt the medicinal power of the Supreme Foundation Pill spreading in his stomach.
The waves of heat spread throughout his body, transforming his constitution. It was a hundred times more powerful than any medicine he had taken before.
Strength was slowly returning to his body.
Li Fan fell asleep again.
When he woke up, he was filled with a vitality that he had missed for a long time.
His mind also cleared considerably.
Looking back on the experiences after his possession of Tianyang, Li Fan couldn’t help feeling helpless.
Prior to this, the weakness of this body had tar surpassed Li Fan’s expectations.
It prevented him from making any effective decisions or responses.
Just like the original Tianyang, he could only watch helplessly as the “plot” unfolded, powerless to intervene.
“It seems that this first attempt is going to fail, as expected.” “But I didn’t expect to gain anything in the first attempt anyway.”
“Just consider it collecting information. ”
Thinking this, Li Fan first examined the Body Transforming Taoist Mansion.
Apart from a jade scroll left by the third senior brother, he didn’t find anything else valuable.
And the mansion’s door was sealed, unable to be opened from the inside.
Li Fan had a feeling, “It seems like this is the limitation of the Real mimicry, not because of any powerful seal on the actual door.”
“So I can only stay in this space…”
After pondering for a moment, Li Fan returned to his room and started reading the contents of the jade scroll.
Apart from the Self-Sublimating Technique, there were also some encouraging words from the third brother to Tianyang.
“Little brother, stay home and cultivate well until I return.”
“Master said once your body recovers, your cultivation talent won’t be inferior to anyone.”
“Including the direct disciples of those Immortal Sects.”
“Keep going, I can’t wait for you to become strong and support me in the future!”
Putting down the jade scroll, Li Fan sat in silence for a long time..
