Chapter 547: True Weakness

Li Fan didn't know how long it had been since he had taken a good look at himself.

The image he subconsciously thought of himself in his mind was that of a thin scholar at the age of 20.

After all, no matter how old his appearance became, in the end, once he activated [Return to True].

When he returned to the anchor point, he would still look like this.

So for Li Fan, aging is actually a false proposition.

All living things in the world are extremely afraid of: aging, illness, and death. For him, it is just a temporary "state" that can be escaped at any time.

Even these changes that happened to him, Li Fan had a certain degree of "indifference".

Not to mention the countless living beings in this Xuanhuang world.

Kou Hong, Dao Xuanzi, He Zhenghao, Zhang Zhiliang, Xiao Heng...

These people, in every reincarnation, their fate will change with Li Fan's actions.

Enemies who fought to the death in the last life may become close friends who drink and chat happily in the next life.

In the next life, they may become Li Fan's loyal subordinates.

What about later?

Perhaps they will become an innocent soul that was harmed during Li Fan's battle with others.

But...

No matter what happens to them, once Li Fan activates [Return to True], their "state" will return to the anchoring moment selected by Li Fan.

So, for them, is the experience of this life after life considered to be another kind of illusion?

When people satirize some extremely selfish people, they like to say things like "The world does not revolve around you, why should others give in to you everywhere?"

But for Li Fan, the world, at least the Xuanhuang Realm where he is.

It really revolves around him.

With a thought, the world is reset.

The past is all gone.

In this case, how can Li Fan regard the people in this world as the same as himself?

Even if this can only be done with the help of the strange treasure [Return to True], Li Fan, who can reverse time, cannot treat the sentient beings in the Xuanhuang Realm as his "kind".

Li Fan looked at himself in the mirror for a long time, but did not find the "silence" that Gao Yuan said.

This may mean that even Li Fan himself did not notice some subtle changes that were happening to him.

Just like the [psychological age] that was still steadily increasing even with each [Zhenzhen].

Li Fan was not as unchanging as he thought.

[Zhenzhen] could reverse time, but Li Fan, as the carrier of [Zhenzhen], had the ability to remain "changing" under [Zhenzhen].

"I thought my acting skills were good enough..." Li Fan said with a little self-mockery.

Li Fan closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, his eyes seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.

He seemed to become more agile and lively, and had a little love for everything around him.

Li Fan observed carefully again and kept adjusting.

After a long time, he stopped moving.

"It has been changed temporarily."

"However, acting is acting after all. No matter how similar it is, it is not real."

"There are too many people with unimaginable abilities in this world. Even an ordinary guard monk like Cong Yunhai has such keen insight."

"It seems impossible to deceive everyone in the world at present."

"But it doesn't matter. It's not a big flaw."

"There are also [heartless and righteous people] in the world."

For this little episode, Li Fan just made some adjustments himself and didn't take it to heart.

And Gao Yuan and others imagined that he, Li Fan, might be the Changsheng Tianzun who fell from the realm, which made him feel a little ridiculous.

"I don't really have any deep meaning. I just want to find an excuse to avoid the Tianlingzhou war that may break out in the future."

Li Fan, who left Wanxian Island alone and quietly, dived into the seabed.

He went deep into the trench tens of thousands of meters deep to ensure that no one was tracking him.

Li Fan then activated [Qixuan Zhenling Transformation] and changed back to his original appearance.

He also temporarily buried all the items he had obtained from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance since he entered the world as a "Cultivator of the Ancient Tianji Sect", and covered and sealed them with [One Hand Covering the Sky].

Naked, Li Fan changed his clothes and returned to the sea.

He first borrowed a set of suitable clothes from a nearby mortal island, and then went straight to the island where [Empire] and others were.

Not long after, he arrived at his destination.

Because he did not conceal his own breath, when he was about to get close, the Imperial Saint Master, that is, the blue phoenix bird beside Xu Ke, sent a spiritual warning.

"What can I do for you, fellow Daoist?"

Li Fan stopped, stood in the air, and smiled slightly.

He just replied with the word "cooperation".

Not long after, Xiaoqing flew out in person to greet him.

After carefully observing Li Fan for a while, he welcomed him to the secret room on the island.

Li Chenfeng seemed to be off the island, and no one knew where he had gone.

Even the soul lock of the phaseless killing intent temporarily lost its effect.

Li Fan replayed the images recorded by the Dao Stone in his sea of ​​consciousness and found that he had left the Xuanhuang Realm.

However, the location he left this time was different from the last time he returned to the Empire.

"Not the Empire, but another small world?"

Li Fan's heart moved, but he didn't say anything, just kept it in mind.

"Is this fellow Taoist also a member of the Ten Thousand Worlds Federation?" Xiao Qing asked straight to the point.

"Yes. I am here to inform you by the order of the adults. I am afraid that our cooperation will be temporarily suspended." Li Fan said lightly.

"What?!" Even though Xiao Qing has lived for thousands of years, she was stunned to hear such sudden news at this moment.

She stood up in shock, staring at Li Fan with a pair of phoenix eyes.

"What does this mean?"

Then, she looked at Li Fan with some suspicion, her eyes narrowed slightly: "Are you really a member of the Ten Thousand Worlds Federation?"

She actually doubted Li Fan's identity.

The killing intent slowly flowed in the air, and Li Fan cupped his hands, signaling Xiao Qing not to be too nervous.

He explained: "It's not that our Ten Thousand Worlds Federation intends to go back on its word, there are indeed reasons."

"Not only your [Empire], but also all other small worlds, we have temporarily cut off contact with them."

"What the higher-ups mean is that everyone should lie dormant for a while and wait until the storm is over."

Xiao Qing's frown did not relax at all. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Li Fan say: "I know you are eager to escape from the Xuanhuang Realm."

"But the situation is indeed special and we are forced to do so."

"After all, we also benefited a lot from the last transaction. We are eager to complete the rest of the transaction as soon as possible."
