Chapter 902: Void Appears and Transmits the Law

Li Fan’s expression was grim. He said nothing.

Immediately, he activated the “Boundless Fluctuation Technique,” attempting to repair the damage to his spirit.

To his great surprise, the Boundless Fluctuation Technique, touted for its “unending power and immortal spirit,” completely lost its restorative effect when faced with his withered spirit!

Noticing the dark stain in his spirit seemed to be spreading, Li Fan’s heart sank. He decisively chose to sever the corrupted portion.

His head felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer; Li Fan’s vision blurred with stars, and he became dizzy.

His face paled. In that instant, at least half a year’s worth of the Boundless Fluctuation Technique’s spirit-nourishing effects were wiped away!

Li Fan instantly understood what had happened to him.

If the strength of one’s spirit were quantified as a specific numerical value, then all the spirit damage Li Fan had previously experienced merely caused a temporary reduction in this value. After activating Boundless Fluctuation, the value would return to its peak.

However, this inexplicable spiritual decay directly impacted the upper limit of his spirit’s strength!

Even if Boundless Fluctuation could repair and mend, it was powerless when the upper limit was arbitrarily reduced.

A dangerous glint appeared in Li Fan’s eyes. His figure flickered, and he instinctively moved away from the heavily intoxicated Han Zhong in front of him.

The drunkard seemed completely unaware of what had happened, still muttering incoherently.

Forcing down his inner killing intent, Li Fan’s gaze flickered. Suddenly, a waterfall appeared above Han Zhong’s head.

Then, a continuous stream of water poured down onto Han Zhong.

“Huh? Hmm!”

Han Zhong was truly very drunk. It took a long time under the continuous water for him to slowly regain consciousness.

He looked blankly at the water pillar in the sky, his face full of confusion.

“Awake?” Li Fan’s cold voice then reached his ears.

Only then did Han Zhong realize an uninvited guest had appeared in his room at some unknown time.

He slowly stood up, trying to block the water with his hand.

“You are…”

“Who I am is not important. What’s important is that I’m very interested in your experiences.” Li Fan’s gaze continuously scanned Han Zhong.

Han Zhong immediately felt a chill rise in his heart.

Realizing the newcomer was not to be trifled with, Han Zhong dared not be negligent.

He cupped his hands respectfully and said, “Senior, please ask anything. I will tell you everything I know, without holding anything back.”

Li Fan nodded slightly. “I just heard you say in your drunken stupor that no one believed you…”

“What was that about?”

Han Zhong’s expression turned a little strange upon hearing this.

“Actually, it’s a…”

“A rather peculiar experience this junior had. I’ve told others about it, but no one believed me. I even reported it to the Immortal Alliance, but it came to nothing in the end. If Senior is truly interested, I can recount it again.”

Han Zhong said, a little hesitantly.

After receiving Li Fan’s approval, he remained silent for a moment, seemingly organizing his thoughts.

Then he slowly began, “I don’t know how many years ago, I did something foolish…”

Li Fan interrupted him after just the first sentence.

“‘I don’t know how many years ago’?” Li Fan asked, frowning slightly as he looked at the Golden Core cultivator in front of him, who couldn’t be more than a hundred years old.

Han Zhong smiled wryly. “Because, this junior truly doesn’t know how much time has passed since I left the Xuanhuang Realm and then returned. The people I knew have died, and even my original Immortal Alliance identity was erased because too much time had passed.”

“Even the Sky Profound Mirror couldn’t recognize me. All the contribution points I accumulated back then were gone.”

Li Fan’s heart skipped a beat when he heard the other party say “left the Xuanhuang Realm.”

The subsequent mention of “returned” further confirmed that the culprit behind the anomalous spatial fluctuation was none other than Han Zhong, standing right before him.

This made Li Fan curious about Han Zhong’s experiences.

“Continue.”

Seeing that Li Fan hadn’t scoffed at him, Han Zhong’s spirits lifted.

He casually picked up the wine jar beside him and took a swig.

Then he continued his story: “Back then, I was young and headstrong. I was skeptical of all authority.”

“When I traveled to Jiushan State, I was astonished by the unique sight of the Nine Mountains stretching across the land, preventing cultivators from flying. I also heard that using teleportation arrays in Jiushan State carried significant risks…”

“I don’t know what I was thinking at the time, but I just had to tempt fate and try it.”

Han Zhong sighed.

Li Fan, however, narrowed his eyes, instantly recalling something.

While researching Jiushan State previously, Li Fan had once read an anecdote.

It spoke of an unlucky cultivator who, relying on a slim chance, insisted on trying to use a teleportation array in Jiushan State.

As a result, he was directly teleported beyond the Xuanhuang Realm and never returned.

“You’re that unlucky person who was supposedly teleported beyond the Xuanhuang Realm?” Li Fan couldn’t help but ask.

Han Zhong didn’t expect this senior to have heard of his exploits, and his old face immediately flushed.

“That would be this junior. Back then, I didn’t know my place and indeed did something foolish.”

Li Fan was now even more intrigued. “Where did you go after leaving the Xuanhuang Realm? And what did you see?”

A flicker of fear, and then confusion, passed through Han Zhong’s eyes.

“Actually…”

“I’m not entirely sure of my location after leaving the Xuanhuang Realm. It was as if I was enveloped in an invisible bubble, drifting and floating in boundless darkness.”

“Most of the time, the outside world was an unchanging black. But occasionally, some distorted scenes would flash by quickly.”

“But…”

Han Zhong shivered. “I was on the verge of losing my mind then. So, I’m not sure if what I saw was just an illusion.”

“So, what exactly did you see?” Li Fan’s tone had grown a little impatient.

“I saw…” Han Zhong was silent for a long time.

The expression on his face seemed to indicate he was engaged in an intense internal struggle.

Then he lowered his voice, saying haltingly, “I think I saw the Dharma Transmission Celestial Venerable.”

As he spoke, he used a Water Mirror Technique to display the scene he had witnessed.

On the circular light screen was boundless darkness.

Suddenly, a golden light appeared.

It was strikingly conspicuous in the darkness.

As it drew closer, the golden light faintly revealed a figure.

It had a head full of white hair and a flowing long beard. Its expression was solemn, exuding an inherent aura of authority without needing to appear angry.

And the appearance of this person should be known to everyone in the Xuanhuang Realm and the Myriad Immortal Alliance!

It was identical to the stone statues of the Dharma Transmission Celestial Venerable erected in every floating sky city!

“He…”

“That should be Dharma Transmission, right?”

Han Zhong asked, somewhat uncertainly.

Li Fan stared at the scene on the light screen and slowly nodded.

Li Fan was not surprised that Dharma Transmission would appear outside the Xuanhuang Realm.

What truly concerned him…

…was what was behind Dharma Transmission.

Dharma Transmission was seen soaring through the endless void, with several golden chains extending from his body.

These chains were connected to something behind him.
