Chapter 1333 The mystery of the missing king
Li Fan's face was full of sincerity: "Over the years, in order to find the heroes of the Xuantian Sect in the past, I have gone up to the poor blue and fallen into the underworld, and almost turned the entire Xuanhuang Realm upside down. I was lucky enough to find some traces of the Dharma Kings, but I have never found any traces of them. There are clues about King Xuantian, but I don’t believe that King Xuantian has really fallen due to his peerless cultivation..."
Mo Rubin listened quietly, without any change in the expression on his face.
"Tens of thousands of years have passed, and the situation in the Xuanhuang Realm has become increasingly critical, and we are only a hair away from falling into the Immortal Ruins. If it weren't for the many arrangements left by King Xuantian back then, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to survive now!"
"The arrangement back then?" Mo Rubin squinted his eyes.
"It's the Floating Starry Sky Formation!" Li Fan said with great emotion, "It is built on the ancient immortal formation, using ordinary means to manifest the power of near-immortals! Unfortunately, the formation has long been incomplete..."
Li Fan said seriously: "Restarting the Starry Sky Formation may be the only way to save the world. This formation is so mysterious that even if it was built thousands of years ago, I cannot understand it."
Mo Rubin snorted: "That's natural. It's inherited from the immortal world, and it's not something that ordinary monks can pry into!"
Li Fan nodded in agreement: "First, the ten major immortal sects fled collectively, and then there was a catastrophe of fighting for thousands of years, and many inheritances have been cut off. The level of formations, weapons, pills, and talismans in the Xuanhuang Realm now is probably not as improved as it was ten thousand years ago. Far worse!”
"If you want to rebuild and restore the Floating Starry Sky Formation, finding King Xuantian is the only hope! But as I said before, there are no clues at all! My deadline is approaching, and I really can't wait any longer. In desperation, I can only It can wake up fellow Taoists.”
Li Fan looked at Mo Rubin's contemplative expression and continued in a deep voice: "From the memory of Ji Yu frame's remnant soul, I also knew the existence of traitors in the Xuantian sect back then. Therefore, making this move was an extremely serious act. Great determination. I am afraid that anything that may happen to King Xuantian may happen to me. Therefore, I chose the place of awakening to be far away from the void of Xuanhuang Realm..."
"When the ten sects besieged the Xuantian Sect, where were you fellow Taoists? In King Ji's memory, you were never far away from King Xuantian!" Li Fan's tone gradually became solemn.
Mo Rubin was not angry when he saw that this later monk in front of him began to question him. He frowned slightly, recalling the past, as if he had returned to the day that changed the fate of the Xuanhuang Realm.
"At that time, I was leading the core monks of the ten sects into the depths of the sect."
Mo Rubin's words were astonishing.
Li Fan raised his eyebrows, but did not become excited immediately, but quietly waited for the next step.
Mo Rubin was a little surprised at Li Fan's calmness, nodded slightly, and continued: "At that time, Brother Xuanyuan had already noticed that there were people with impure thoughts in the religion who wanted to collude with the ten sects and plot evil."
"At that time, Brother Xuanyuan happened to have a breakthrough, so he planned to fake it and lure the snake out of the hole..."
Mo Rubin paused and took a deep breath: "The original plan went very smoothly. I successfully gained the trust of the ten sects. And I led them along the way to quietly break through the Xuantian Sect headquarters' protective restrictions..."
A trace of regret flashed in Mo Rubin's eyes.
"However, those restrictions could only have a delaying effect. The real killer move was Brother Xuanyuan's strength after breaking through and the killing array he personally set up. Taking the initiative to break it and disperse it could actually reduce their vigilance. But I didn't expect it. …”
"Run away!"
It seemed that King Xuantian's last message from that year was heard in his ears again, and Mo Rubin clenched his fists subconsciously.
"I heard Brother Xuanyuan's message telling me to run away, and I knew something must have happened. So I sped up and flew towards the place where Brother Xuanyuan's breath disappeared..."
"That's not the agreed ambush location, nor is it the place where Brother Xuanyuan usually retreats to practice. It's just the main hall where the statue of the Faceless Immortal is displayed. It has been sealed up by Brother Xuanyuan's order before. I don't know why Brother Xuanyuan appears there again."
"When I arrived first, my eldest brother had completely disappeared. And that statue..." Mo Rubin suddenly fell silent.
Li Fan was shocked when he heard Mo Rubin's story. However, he still pretended not to know: "What is the statue of the Faceless Immortal? Why was it sealed by the Xuantian Sect again? After the ten sects of the Immortal Dao unified the Xuanhuang Realm, they erased everything related to the Xuantian Sect in the past. King Ji Fa In the remaining memory, there seems to be no existence of the Faceless Immortal statue."
Mo Rubin raised his head and looked at Li Fan, thought for a moment, and finally explained: "The Faceless Immortal is a true immortal who saved Brother Xuanyuan's life. When Brother Xuanyuan first came to the immortal world, he didn't have time. The body of the True Immortal was gathered just in time for the disaster to come. If this Faceless Immortal hadn’t saved him, he would have perished in the Immortal Realm that year.”
Li Fan nodded slowly, and then couldn't help but ask with confusion: "It seems that this faceless immortal is a good person. Why did the Xuantian Church later order the sealing of his statue and seemed to be wary of him?"
Mo Rubin snorted coldly: "Good man... He is not a human being, but a true immortal through and through. The same thing, from the standpoint of a mortal monk and a true immortal, the attitudes will be completely different! At first, Brother Xuanyuan erected the statue of the Faceless Immortal, firstly to express his gratitude for his life-saving grace, and secondly, because he wanted to get in touch with this true immortal whom he had only met briefly. "
"If we can get the help of this true immortal senior, it will certainly be much easier to save the Xuanhuang Boundary..."
The look on Mo Rubin's face gradually became gloomy as he spoke: "However, Brother Xuanyuan soon realized that he was wrong. The attitude of true immortals towards mortal creatures can simply be described as indifference."
"The Faceless Immortal can easily save Brother Xuanyuan, because Brother Xuanyuan has already reached the path of immortality. Even if he hasn't had time to condense the body of a true immortal, he is still a true [half-immortal]. He is his kind."
"As for the mortal creatures...even the creatures in the entire world, even if it is just a simple task, the Faceless Immortal is not willing or bothered to do it!" Mo Rubin said coldly and bitterly.
^.^，
"He even went so far as to persuade and warn Brother Xuanyuan..."
Mo Rubin was filled with resentment, and Li Fan couldn't help but narrow his eyes, breathe quickly, and look a little indignant.
"The difference between immortals and mortals is like the abyss of heaven. But no matter what, aren't immortals also ascended from ordinary people? They are so indifferent and indifferent even when they die!"
Mo Rubin added: "As the saying goes, people with different Tao cannot conspire against each other. After the disagreement, Brother Xuanyuan stopped contacting this true immortal and sealed the statue. There are also plans to re-sculpt Xuantian statues in various places."
"It's just that before we had time, drastic changes had already occurred."
"According to what fellow Taoist said, King Xuantian most likely encountered an accident at the hands of the Faceless Immortal?" Li Fan said in shock.
"If a true immortal takes action personally, even the peerless King Xuantian will probably not be spared, right? No wonder I haven't been able to find any trace of him for so many years..." Li Fan pretended to be stunned, and then looked lost.
Mo Rubin frowned and interrupted Li Fan's soliloquy: "Although the Faceless Immortal has some differences in philosophy with Brother Xuanyuan, there is no reason to kill him."
"Besides, even though the True Immortal is strong, he will never be able to kill Brother Xuanyuan instantly." Mo Rubin said firmly.
"Brother Xuanyuan is a half-immortal who has arrived in the immortal world. Before he launched the plan to lure the snake out of the cave, he once told us that he broke through again after fighting the Archmage. Even though he was not an immortal in the true sense of the past, he still had enough strength and abilities. Across the high wall."
Li Fan was shocked again: "Then what is it that can make King Xuantian disappear inexplicably?"
As he said this, Li Fan couldn't help but think of the scene in his last life where the cat baby jumped out inexplicably, swallowed the shadow of the real immortal in one gulp, and then took the real immortal away from the Immortal Ruins in the blink of an eye.
The two situations are so similar!
"Is it possible that there is some connection between them?"
"But what happened to Xuantian happened thousands of years ago. In addition, as I guessed before, the speed of time inside and outside the high wall may not be consistent. If it is really the hands outside the high wall, I am afraid it is not for them, it is a hundred thousand , or even happened a million years ago..." Li Fan felt something was wrong again.
"However, looking at it this way, the methods of hunting true immortals by the forces outside the wall have indeed improved a lot. King Xuantian is not an orthodox true immortal, and he still remembers to send warnings when encountering unexpected events. And the person from the Immortal Ruins is a true immortal in the immortal world. He has been enlightened in the Immortal Ruins for thousands of years, and may have been close to the realm of the Unnamed True Immortal, but the result was even worse." A feeling of horror emerged in Li Fan's heart.
Facing Li Fan's inquiry, Mo Rubin had no choice but to remain silent.
If he had known the answer to the question, he would not have been so panicked when he was being chased by the Ten Immortal Sects, as if he had lost his backbone.
"Although I don't know exactly what kind of terrifying existence caused the disappearance of Brother Xuanyuan. But I am sure that Brother Xuanyuan is still alive in the world." After being quiet for a long time, Mo Rubin said firmly.
"Oh?" Li Fan raised his eyebrows, expressing such confidence in Mo Rubin that it was difficult to understand.
After thinking about his words, Mo Rubin just said: "When I rushed to the scene after Brother Xuanyuan disappeared, the main hall where the statue of the Faceless Immortal was displayed had been damaged."
"And that faceless immortal stone statue..."
"A face suddenly appeared!"
"The stone statue fell to the ground, and its head was cut off in the air and rolled aside. The solitary head and face of the stone statue are the same as those of Brother Xuanyuan!"
Mo Rubin said something that shocked Li Fan.
Li Fan couldn't help but recall the scene from that year.
"this……"
"What happened again?" Li Fan was confused and confused.
Mo Rubin said in a deep voice: "At first, we all thought it was the Faceless Immortal who harmed King Xuantian. But then during the days of escape, I felt something was wrong. The reason is as I said before."
"Later, I took the risk and found the surviving Xuantian statue. I tried to use the method taught by Brother Xuanyuan in the past to get in touch with the Faceless Immortal again..."
Li Fan took a breath: "This fellow Taoist has really put life and death aside!"
Ignoring Li Fan's flattery, Mo Rubin said again: "True immortals usually don't pay attention to ordinary ants like us. As expected, my first communication attempt did not receive any reply."
"But, I didn't give up. Instead, I continued for three years, initiating communications every moment..."
When Li Fan heard this, he instantly understood what Mo Rubin meant.
"Even if you don't care about the ants, if the ants keep nagging in your ears, the real immortal will definitely be angry and punish you. Based on my understanding of the Faceless Immortal, he is indeed capable of doing this."
"But it just didn't happen."
"As if it was just an ordinary stone statue, there was no response for three years."
"So, I guess that after that day, not only King Xuantian. Even the Faceless Immortal was severely injured!"
"The reason why the Faceless Immortal statue strangely manifested the face of Brother Xuanyuan, and even had his head cut off..."
Li Fan answered with some disbelief: "Is it possible that the Faceless Immortal took action to help King Xuan Tian escape from the disaster?"
Mo Rubin nodded: "This is also the reason why I am always convinced that Brother Xuanyuan is still alive. Although the Tao is different, judging from the words that Brother Xuanyuan once revealed, he actually gets along well with this Faceless Immortal. ”
"Besides, they are the same kind after all. There has been a precedent of helping others, so it is not impossible to save them again."
Li Fan was silent for a long time.
After a long time, he shook his head and denied: "This is just your guess, fellow Taoist."
"I originally thought that King Xuantian's unexpected opponent back then was at most the same half-immortal. If a true immortal or even a stronger being took action, the possibility that King Xuantian could survive was too small!" Li Fan Somewhat frustrated.
"Just relying on fellow Taoist guesses is really unconvincing."
Seeing this, Mo Rubin hesitated for a long time, and finally added in a deep voice: "It's not just a guess. The connection with brother Xuanyuan tells me that he is still alive in the world."
Mo Rubin's words were unclear and extremely vague.
Li Fan wanted to ask for more details, but Mo Rubin refused to say more.
"Qingming Pearl?" Li Fan couldn't help but guess.
"Okay, since you are so sure, then I will believe in fellow Taoist for once!" Seeing that he couldn't say anything more, Li Fan pretended to think for a long time, and then he was relieved.
"Anyway, I don't have much time left to live. I just want to give it a last try."
"From my observation of fellow Taoist's words and deeds, he is definitely not a traitor to the Xuantian Sect back then. Perhaps, we can cooperate to find the whereabouts of King Xuantian."
Li Fan stared at Mo Rubin with burning eyes.
"Fellow Taoist knows a lot about King Xuantian, but is very unfamiliar with today's Xuanhuang Realm. Thousands of years have passed, and the changes left by the Xuantian Sect in the past may have disappeared with the dramatic changes in the mountains and rivers."
"And I have searched through the Xuanhuang Realm over the years. I can directly lead fellow Taoists to areas worth investigating, which greatly increases the efficiency of the search."
"Moreover, the remnants of the ten sects of the Immortal Dao are still transformed into the Five Elders Association and are in charge of half of the Xuanhuang Realm. Without my cooperation, fellow Taoists will inevitably encounter a lot of trouble even if they are strong."
