Chapter 1536: Anchoring the Long River

Chapter 1536: Anchoring the Long River

"It's still the same." The female cultivator named Cao Yingyue sighed, "We barely killed a group of them, and I estimate that they will come again in seven days."

Duan Yuxiao comforted: "Thank you for your hard work, Junior Sister. I think the situation in other strongholds is not optimistic. This place is not the front line..."

The two looked at each other and fell into silence.

"But there is good news. It is said that with the joint efforts of all parties, the specific location of that thing has finally been deduced. We are preparing for a surprise attack and achieving success in one battle..." Cao Yingyue whispered quietly.

Duan Yuxiao was relieved when he heard this: "I hope this time, we can end this war completely. We have shed too much blood on this land."

"But even if that thing is destroyed, the enemy's final counterattack will be more crazy. Junior Sister, you have to be careful." Duan Yuxiao reminded.

"I understand this principle." Cao Yingyue nodded.

The two communicated secretly, although they were whispering, they could not escape the prying of Li Fan beside them.

"As the saying goes, things are done in secrecy. The secret of taking the Taiyuan Furnace was revealed so easily. After fighting for so long, the front line of the ten sects is still at this level..." Li Fan secretly complained in his heart.

Suddenly, his thoughts suddenly stopped.

"No!"

"At this time point, the ten sects of the immortal way have jointly ruled the entire Xuanhuang world, and they are still at the peak level before the catastrophe. There are also immortal tools such as the Burning Dao Furnace. If you really want to keep it secret, it is impossible not to do it."

"So it was deliberately spread so that everyone knows."

Li Fan's thoughts turned and he understood it instantly.

"The ten sects have never been able to determine the location of the Taiyuan Resurrection Furnace, so they released the news and deliberately alarmed the enemy."

"I hope that the Taiyuan Realm will move the Taiyuan Furnace and expose it..."

"It has actually reached the point of implementing this plan. It seems that the situation of the ten sects is indeed not optimistic."

Just from a corner of the battlefield, Li Fan has already seen the whole picture of the battle.

However, Li Fan still pretended to be completely ignorant, with a little trepidation and fear on his face.

After Duan Yuxiao sent Li Fan to his destination, he quickly said goodbye and left.

Cao Yingyue watched her senior brother's flying figure with a complicated expression.

At this moment...

A stream of light shot out from the depths of Taiyuan Realm at lightning speed. In an instant, it penetrated Duan Yuxiao's body!

Without even a struggle, Duan Yuxiao turned into a pool of flesh and blood and exploded.

The soul flew away, and the body died!

Cao Yingyue was stunned at first, and then realized what happened.

"Senior Brother!"

A heart-wrenching cry came out of her throat, and Cao Yingyue fled towards the place where the tragedy happened.

But she stopped abruptly when she flew to the middle of the air.

"Enemy attack!"

"Form a formation!"

Cao Yingyue's voice spread throughout the Xuanhuang Realm fortress here. She seemed to have regained her composure in a short time, but her slightly trembling body still exposed her inner thoughts.

Shortly after Cao Yingyue issued the order, Li Fan saw that hundreds of thousands of cultivators, covering the sky and the earth, rushed out from the depths of Taiyuan Realm without fear of death.

Countless streams of light flew and charged towards the defense line arranged by Xuanhuang Realm.

The fortress where Li Fan was located also became an insignificant one among those impacted by this terrifying wave.

The situation changed so quickly that Cao Yingyue and the cultivators in the fortress had no time to take care of Li Fan.

In addition to the blessing of the magic power of illusion, Li Fan seemed to be forgotten by the battlefield at this moment.

However, Li Fan's situation was not very good.

Because of him, Duan Yuxiao died unexpectedly. And the backlash of the long river of time brought about by this chain reaction was more intense than he expected.

"It seems that this Supreme Sect Duan Yuxiao has a pivotal position in the original future. But it is understandable. After all, the war situation has reached such a critical juncture, and he Duan Yuxiao can still stay in the rear instead of going to the battlefield." Li Fan looked at the sudden storm around him and tried his best to stabilize his body.

It was also thanks to the foundation he laid in Changqing Valley before, otherwise it might not be able to withstand the erosion of this wind and rain.

"If there is no accident, Xuanhuang Realm should be defeated in this battle and finally retreat in a mess."

"Then erase all records of this humiliating defeat."

"From then on, the fortune of the ten sects turned from prosperity to decline. After experiencing the rise of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the inability to practice the same law, and the miasma of immortals and mortals, it was finally completely submerged in history."

"This key node happens to be the place where I established my foundation!" A gleam of light flashed in Li Fan's eyes.

If it were an ordinary person, who had just almost died in the storm caused by the diversion of the long river of time, he would definitely use a safe method to stabilize the anchor point first. Then seek other things.

However, Li Fan did the opposite, and saw a way to quickly build a stable anchor point.

"If this anchor point is built, even if the long river of time changes its course and creates a completely different future, I can remain safe in the upheaval. Because all the Xuanhuang monks in the future will remember my deeds."

"Not only will the anchor point be established for a moment, but it will be passed down through the ages and run through the long river of ancient and modern times!"

Li Fan had seen the power of the longevity avenue that was like a lighthouse standing in the long river of time, which inspired him.

So in a flash, he made a decision.

"However, it is not advisable to take drastic actions at the beginning."

"The butterfly's wings will start flapping from this fortress."

Li Fan looked at the battlefield in the distance, where Cao Yingyue was besieged by three Taiyuan Realm monks and was in a worsening situation. She was about to follow in the footsteps of her senior brother.

He snapped his fingers.

Cao Yingyue, who was originally seriously injured and had become somewhat fuzzy in consciousness, suddenly saw the tragic death of his admired senior brother Duan.

He should have had an unlimited future, but now he died in vain on this battlefield. A surge of anger suddenly surged from Cao Yingyue's heart. Accompanied by the endless power burning like a raging fire.

Her body and soul seemed to be burning. Cao Yingyue, who fell into a state of madness, killed the three Taiyuan Realm monks who were besieging her with a knife.

Then he continued to fight back against the monks who attacked the fortress without fear of death.

After seeing Cao Yingyue's heroic performance, the monks of the ten sects stationed here were also infected and all resisted desperately.

After a fierce defense for most of the day, the Taiyuan Realm monks who were attacking like locusts were finally temporarily repelled.

The monks thought it was the reward for their persistence.

But they could not expect that this was Li Fan's secret arrangement.

Not only this fortress, if you raise your vision and look at the entire Taiyuan Realm. You can see that the Taiyuan Realm Avenue, which was originally mixed together, seems to have been mixed with some impurities. It began to become turbid.

An invisible thin line like a ravine spanned the entire Taiyuan Realm and divided the battlefield.

The Taiyuan Realm monks who noticed the change were forced to retreat.

The ten sect monks who survived the disaster lay weakly on the ground, enjoying what might be the last time.

And Li Fan was almost exhausted like them.

Not only because of the influence he exerted through his own enlightenment and the formation he quietly laid. This was a big move that changed the overall situation of the Taiyuan Realm.

But also because he had to face the waves raised by the long river of time at the same time.

"This is the limit of what I can do now."

"The foundation I laid before is no longer enough in the face of such storms."

Feeling his own shaky state, Li Fan deliberately released a strong wave.

Instantly attracted the attention of the surviving monks around.

For a moment, everyone looked at him sideways: "Is this a breakthrough?"

"Hehe, Yuanying stage. It just barely increases the probability of survival."

"However, he was able to survive the surprise attack just now at the Jindan stage. And he was able to achieve a sudden enlightenment and breakthrough after the battle... This person is not simple! What is his background? It seems that I have never seen him before."

"Between life and death, there is great terror. But there is also great opportunity. Master is not deceiving me!"

...

As everyone discussed, rumors about "Li Ping" in Changqing Valley gradually spread.

Just the fact that he volunteered to go to the battlefield was enough to make these ten sects who had personally experienced the life and death of war look at him with new eyes.

Before the changes in the world were completely resolved, the Taiyuan Realm did not dare to continue to launch attacks.

Everyone was able to spend a relatively peaceful night.

At night, Cao Yingyue, who was sleeping, suddenly fell into the nightmare of Brother Duan's tragic death.

"Brother!" She instinctively exclaimed.

Brother Duan seemed to have noticed her cry, and before he disappeared, he looked at her affectionately.

Then, a little light flew out from him.

Gradually entered Cao Yingyue's mind.

Boom!

The nightmare was swept away, and a scene as brilliant as the starry sky suddenly appeared in front of Cao Yingyue.

This incomparably magnificent scene made her temporarily forget the pain in her heart.

"Taishang Daojing?"

In front of this peerless beauty, Cao Yingyue couldn't help but be stunned.

...

After Cao Yingyue woke up, Li Fan took the initiative to come to her house to plead guilty.

"Guilt? What crime have you committed?" Cao Yingyue said very coldly.

"If you hadn't sent me to the battlefield, Brother Duan wouldn't have..." Li Fan said with a guilty conscience.

"..."

In fact, Cao Yingyue did have such thoughts in her heart. But she also knew that she could not blame the other party for this matter. As the saying goes, life and death are unpredictable. In the battlefield, life does not belong to oneself. It all depends on God's will.

His Duan Yuxiao's life is life, can it be that the lives of countless disciples of the Ten Sects of the Immortal Dao are not life? Besides, Li Fan is also a loyal and brave monk who volunteered to go to the battlefield.

If she used this as an excuse to make trouble, countless monks from the Ten Sects on the battlefield would not agree.

Cao Yingyue knew this truth and had already let it go.

At this moment, Li Fan took the initiative to say it, and it was like a breeze blowing, writing it off.

"Live well."

"Together for Senior Brother Duan."

Cao Yingyue said expressionlessly.

...

In the next six months, dozens of large and small battles broke out again between the Taiyuan Realm and the Xuanhuang Realm.

Although the Ten Sects still suffered heavy losses, they were backed by Xuanhuang and had a strong blood transfusion ability, so they could barely hold on.

Although the monks of Taiyuan Realm can be resurrected, the Taiyuan world is constantly changing. This greatly affects the efficiency of their resurrection. Before they thoroughly figure out the source of this change, they dare not launch a full-scale counterattack.

So the battle situation was temporarily deadlocked.

Facing the direction of the next battle, the ten sects have gradually begun to have differences.

Now, it seems that the immortal spirit in the Taiyuan Resurrection Furnace will not be consumed in a short time. Although reluctant, they have to admit it. They made a fatal misjudgment before.

However, things have come to this point, and they can only pursue the responsibilities of all parties after the war is over. The key now is what to do next.

Having missed the opportunity once, Xuanhuang Realm could not afford to make the same mistake again.

There were quite a few who advocated retreat.

And those who remained silent and had the same idea were countless.

However, the reason why all the ten sects could still maintain their determination to fight to the death was the floating starry sky formation inherited from the ancient Xuantian Sect.

Originally used as a hope to escape from the Immortal Ruins, the golden chain of floating starry sky brought them hope.

But it turned out to be a quagmire of doom.

And now, they are in this quagmire and cannot extricate themselves.

The so-called quagmire not only refers to the war itself, but also refers to the golden chain!

The Xuanhuang Realm naturally also noticed the changes in the world in Taiyuan Realm.

They didn't know the specific situation of Taiyuan Resurrection Furnace. However, they saw the changes in the floating starry sky formation.

The golden lock that had reached its limit and was about to be completely broken was slowly getting better!

This was originally a happy event worth celebrating for the ten sects.

However, the Ten Sects could not be happy.

Because the price of restoring the Hengkong Golden Lock was that it was slowly merging into the world of Taiyuan Realm!

Why did this strange thing happen? All the cultivators, including the heads of the Ten Sects, were at a loss.

It was just an established fact in front of them: even if they wanted to get out now, they couldn't.

As part of the Floating Starry Sky Array, the Hengkong Golden Lock connected to the Xuanhuang Realm.

Even if they evacuated the Taiyuan Realm, if they didn't take back the Hengkong Golden Lock, the Taiyuan cultivators could attack and invade along the chain.

And if the chain was cut off...

The Floating Starry Sky Array had already reached the scope of the Immortal Array. Although the Ten Sects regarded themselves as the inheritance of the Immortal Realm, they had not yet reached the point where they could freely transform the Immortal Array. All they could do now was to activate and manipulate the array.

More importantly, the Xuanhuang Realm was still in the abyss of the Immortal Ruins. If the chain was forcibly cut off, it was very likely that the Xuanhuang Realm would suffer heavy damage and fall into the Immortal Ruins. Therefore, the ten sects collectively denied this plan.

So there is only one way for the ten sects.

Next, even if they do not continue to attack Taiyuan Realm, they must set up defensive fortresses to prevent Taiyuan Realm from counterattacking.

To do this, more manpower is needed.

"Everyone. Have you heard that an organization called the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has emerged in various places in Xuanhuang Realm?"

"It's just some random cultivators making a fuss."

"I originally thought that I would suppress them after the Taiyuan Realm incident. Now it seems..."

"Maybe we can pull them into the battlefield."
