Chapter 959: A Single Thought Cultivates Ten Thousand Techniques

"I'll temporarily take this body and hide it. When we need to communicate again in the future, I'll still use this method," Mo Rubing said finally.

Li Fan nodded in agreement.

They had previously discussed in detail various matters requiring attention for their future cooperation. However, Li Fan didn't ask Mo Rubing to inquire about the Immortal Alliance's secrets. As the saying goes, "to take, one must first give." In Li Fan's view, Mo Rubing's connection was still in its developing phase, far from being ready for exploitation.

"Perhaps after helping him further solidify his position among the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance's Dharma Propagators this time, I can make a small request." He thought this after Mo Rubing's divine sense completely vanished from his sea of consciousness.

Over the next ten days, all cultivators who had undergone the Divine Presence technique, following Li Fan's subtle guidance, began to converge on Luoyan State.

According to Mo Rubing's plan, he would soon arrive in Luoyan State as a Dharma Propagator.

Officials from all levels of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance throughout Luoyan State would undoubtedly treat this matter with the highest regard.

Furthermore, Mo Rubing would deliberately draw the attention of all surveillance forces, thereby creating a fertile ground for Li Fan to freely spread the Divine Presence technique in Luoyan State.

For a period of one month, Li Fan intended to bewitch as many cultivators as possible during this time.

Afterwards, he would disperse these cultivators throughout various parts of the Immortal Alliance, waiting for Mo Rubing to complete his inspection and return to the Alliance headquarters.

Then, they would all simultaneously act.

Once the situation escalated beyond control, Mo Rubing would then volunteer to take on the task of completely eliminating these rebels.

With Li Fan, the mastermind, acting as an inside agent, the matter would undoubtedly be resolved perfectly with ease.

Such was the general plan.

Of course, in its actual implementation, various unexpected changes were likely to occur. Mo Rubing had already prepared numerous contingency plans.

It truly felt like strategizing within a command tent and winning battles a thousand miles away.

Of course, compared to Li Fan, he was still slightly outmaneuvered.

Soon, over thirty thousand cultivators who had undergone the Divine Presence technique received hints from Li Fan.

They each headed towards Luoyan State.

To prevent this sudden surge in human traffic from alerting the relevant authorities of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, Li Fan orchestrated their movements: some traveled via teleportation arrays, while others flew through the air.

They arrived in batches, successively infiltrating various locations across Luoyan State within ten days.

They then began observing nearby cultivators and scouting for suitable candidates.

Although Luoyan State was not as prosperous as the four central states of the Immortal Alliance, it was still a first-tier major state.

Grand Commander Ji Cheng Xianzun of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance's Garrison Command was a native of Luoyan State.

After he assumed great power, he frequently promoted his hometown.

Many young members of prominent families in Luoyan State gained opportunities to serve at the Immortal Alliance headquarters, and in the years that followed, they reciprocated by supporting their hometown.

After years of deep cultivation, their network of connections was intricate and unfathomable.

Only the presence of someone at the level of a Dharma Propagator could warrant such a cautious and attentive reception throughout Luoyan State.

In Li Fan's sea of consciousness, a map of Luoyan State slowly unfolded.

Red dots, each representing a Divine Presence cultivator, were scattered across various locations in Luoyan State.

Sensing the information relayed by his subordinates, Li Fan couldn't help but nod to himself: "This place is truly blessed with spiritual energy and talented individuals. Even excluding those from influential families, the overall quality of cultivators here is far superior to that of a remote place like Congyun Sea."

"Hmm..."

"Everything is in place; now we just wait for Mo Rubing."

Li Fan first arranged for his subordinates to approach suitable targets and establish good relationships.

They were not to act immediately but rather gradually gain the trust of their targets.

The conversation scenes of all thirty thousand people converged in Li Fan's sea of consciousness.

Li Fan, centrally positioned, consistently provided the optimal responses, relying on his powerful spiritual sense and exceptionally high emotional intelligence.

Moreover, these thirty thousand-plus Divine Presence cultivators were not all acting alone.

Li Fan intentionally grouped those with lower abilities together. Through their collective efforts, the efficiency of their persuasive tactics was even higher than that of cultivators acting individually.

Soon, within just a few days, over ten thousand pairs of "close friends" emerged in Luoyan State.

Li Fan gazed at the tens of thousands of different scenes floating before him, his expression serene.

For him, the acts of befriending, conversing, and gaining trust were merely a series of multiple-choice questions.

Given Li Fan's current experience and intellect, finding the optimal solution among countless choices was no difficult feat.

Furthermore, choices made without emotion and with absolute rationality often facilitated better relationships.

"When relationships are first formed, they are at their hottest. We must strike while the iron is hot..." he thought to himself.

Just one day after the appointed time, an unusual atmosphere seemed to shroud Luoyan State.

From the thirty thousand scenes, countless discussions poured into Li Fan's ears.

"Huh? How come I haven't seen Young Master Cai recently? Could it be that he's found some new tricks?"

"It's strange, I haven't encountered Brother Zhang for several days either."

"Damn it, I went to Luoyan Celestial City to run an errand today, and I was actually stopped. They didn't give any reason, just wouldn't let me in! Bah!"

"Those guys from the Martial Arts Hall have been much more diligent lately. But no matter how I look at it, they seem to be just putting on a show?"

"Hiss..."

Combining these various unusual occurrences, the cultivators of Luoyan State quickly realized what was happening.

A major figure had arrived in Luoyan State.

However, they had no way of knowing how significant this person was or their true identity.

But the clever ones had already decided to seclude themselves in their Mystical Sky Mirrors for the time being and not venture out.

Otherwise, they might inexplicably vanish without a trace for some unknown reason.

Inside Luoyan State, all was calm.

The many cultivators also understood the situation clearly and dared not cause trouble.

They merely gathered with friends and discussed in private.

And at this moment, it was finally Li Fan's turn to demonstrate his power.

How to stir the emotions of the target cultivators and elicit their resonance was, in fact, quite simple.

The vast majority of these cultivators had no significant background, having reached their current level solely through their own efforts.

Most were at the Foundation Establishment stage, with a small number of Golden Core cultivators.

Nascent Soul cultivators were exceedingly rare, perhaps one in a thousand.

Li Fan's seductive voice echoed in their ears.

"Hmph, with these families controlling Luoyan State, us lowly cultivators will probably never have a chance to rise."

"That's right, none of the good things ever come to us. We're not even qualified to know what's happening..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a life this is."

"By cultivating on our own without resources, how high can we really reach? Without a grotto-heaven, even an unparalleled prodigy will be firmly stuck at the Nascent Soul stage. I don't think those scions of prominent families are necessarily stronger than me. Take Young Master Cai, for example; he lacks nothing, yet he's still only at the late Golden Core stage. He's a complete and utter waste! If it were me..."

Feelings of anger and resentment spread among the lower-tier cultivators.
