"If I'm not mistaken," Dharma Transmitter Jiang said with a frown, "Feng Rui and the others were indeed once possessed. However, this possession technique is quite extraordinary; it can even return the body."
Li Fan also mused, "But everything that exists leaves a trace. The period of possession, after all, still had an irreversible impact on their souls and bodies. Some soul characteristics of that Profound Heaven Sect Dharma King still remained with them."
Dharma Transmitter Jiang's eyes narrowed. "That Dharma King's name is Mo Rubin? He truly is a remarkable and admirable figure."
Li Fan merely nodded, offering no further comment.
"They still retained memories from the period of possession. However, from their perspective, these events were jointly accomplished by them and Mo Rubin after consultation. As for Mo Rubin's current whereabouts..."
"As early as a year ago, he bid farewell and disappeared without a trace. To express his gratitude for their time together, he even left behind a few cultivation techniques from the former Profound Heaven Sect as compensation," Dharma Transmitter Jiang continued to explain.
Xuan Jing's heart skipped a beat. He nodded. "Yes, I know that point. Those cultivators call it the Fallen Immortal Realm."
"I'm afraid it's still a means to distract us. But it certainly worked; at the very least, I've wasted so much time again," Li Fan said with a touch of self-mockery.
What worried me even more was that the Myriad Immortals Alliance had been missing for nearly a year.
"Xuan Huang, corresponds to Mo Rubin. Heavenly Venerable..."
"That's right, a fallen immortal."
Even for an immortal artifact to deduce such a result by damaging its origin clearly indicates something extraordinary.
But a moment later, it completely vanished from the world.
"It's possible that many functions of the Yellow Heaven Venerable will be suspended for a long time."
"Hemp garment, rice ear, house, donkey cart. These correspond to clothing, food, shelter, and transport – the four basic necessities for human survival. This is precisely the responsibility of the Heavenly Profound Mirror Venerable!"
"We still need to give them an explanation."
Dharma Transmitter Jiang's dark eyes instantly fixated on the immortal puppet Xuan Jing.
After all, false accusations or slandering a Dharma Transmitter would be an absolutely unforgivable grave sin.
"We've finally found the possible whereabouts of that Profound Heaven Sect Dharma King," Dharma Transmitter Zhou said, his tone unusually solemn.
"Imagine if, in a world, a cultivator could achieve complete unity of mind and body with the world's Heavenly Dao."
"Heavenly Profound Mirror Venerable is not a specific person, but an honorary title."
"To know Duan Sha's whereabouts, we'll still have to wait for my investigation results."
Xuan Jing's face was serious as he waited for him to continue.
"Duan Sha, the Yellow Immortal Venerable."
"However, Jiang visited the Mirror Master and the Illusory Truth Sage lineage. Combining the power of the eight authorities, he forcibly retrieved previous deduction records from the Yellow Heaven Venerable."
Could it be that the missing Profound Heaven King hasn't been found yet? Or perhaps, he didn't even go looking for any Profound Heaven King at all. Instead, he used the methods left behind by the former Profound Heaven Sect to escape this exceedingly dark star sea?
During the time I controlled the Fusheng Xuan, I utilized the Yellow Heaven Venerable's vast computing power, which must have been for matters related to the Profound Heaven King's whereabouts.
"Jiang, this person, is probably the only reliable one among the Dharma Transmitters." Amidst a long-lost flicker of unease in his mind, Xuan Jing finally received Dharma Transmitter Jiang's investigation results.
In Dharma Transmitter Zhou's private mini-world, a newly constructed immortal puppet body still made its appearance.
"Are you referring to the Longevity Heavenly Venerable?"
"But when put together, I'm a bit confused."
"When that immortal fell, he took a final look at Mo Rubin. As a result, everything in the world, from vast mountains and rivers to tiny ants and insects, was completely reflected into that illusory world! What incredible divine ability!" Dharma Transmitter Zhou exclaimed, his tone filled with a hint of longing.
"Actually, I didn't know this before either. But based on the Yellow Heaven Venerable's deduction results, perhaps we can make an educated guess," Zhou admitted.
"The Yellow Heaven Venerable is still the Yellow Heaven Venerable. It's just that too much computing power was used, damaging the mirror's origin."
"I was indeed very curious. Could it be that they know?" Xuan Jing asked.
"Do you know that corresponding to Duan Sha's physical body, there is also an illusory world in existence?" Zhou, however, first asked a seemingly irrelevant question.
Pausing, Dharma Transmitter Zhou then lowered his voice and began to narrate slowly.
As if pulled into a void, the immortal puppet Xuan Jing's body was slowly engulfed by the void.
Four items are needed:A plain hemp garment.A shriveled ear of rice.A small, crude model of a house.A lifelike miniature donkey cart.
The four items should be placed in the four corners of the space.
"Someone must take responsibility for this."
"But where exactly did he go? Is the Myriad Immortals Alliance's Heavenly Profound Mirror still the original immortal artifact, the Heavenly Profound Mirror?"
"Even if only superficially."
First, one must take the first step, face the hemp garment, and loudly chant:Then, turn towards the shriveled ear of rice and silently and earnestly recite:Next, look at the flatbed cart filled with goods.Then, look at the exquisite house, hold your breath, and whisper:Finally, silently recite: "Xuan Huang Heaven, Xuan Huang Realm."
"Heavenly Profound Mirror Venerable?!" Xuan Jing's heart trembled.
"The Great Heavenly Venerable Xuan Huang is precisely such a figure."
"I was not surprised by Dharma Transmitter Jiang's sudden move."
"Then, have you ever wondered who that immortal with unimaginable divine abilities truly was? And why did they fall?"
"Duan Sha, the Yellow Heaven Lord."
"Do you still remember the method to enter the Fallen Immortal Realm?"
"A typical Longevity Realm expert certainly cannot accomplish such seemingly incredible feats. But the Heavenly Profound Mirror Venerable absolutely can," Zhou explained to Xuan Jing.
Any discoveries would still be communicated through Dharma Transmitter Zhou.
After Dharma Transmitter Jiang destroyed his immortal puppet body, he sent a telepathic message, telling me that the investigation into Profound Heaven King Duan Sha would go underground.
Having been led by the nose by Duan Sha several times before, Duan Sha felt a surge of irritation.
"Actually, the answer is often right on the surface of the puzzle," Zhou said, his expression solemn. "That fallen immortal is none other than the Heavenly Profound Mirror Venerable!"
As Zhou explained, Xuan Jing immediately thought of himself in relation to the Spirit Wood Realm.
