Chapter 962: All Things Are Like Me

“Oh? So, Jiang, you’re preparing to personally take action and capture this scoundrel?”

In the world of neon lights, the voice of a seven- or eight-year-old child echoed, filled with adoration.

“Not preparing. Already done.”

The indifferent voice of Dharma Preacher Jiang continuously echoed through the pale space.

Hearing this, the expressions of shock on the faces of all the other Dharma Preachers were completely undisguised.

“This…”

“Brother Jiang is actually taking action himself?”

“Interesting. It seems he’s genuinely interested in this divine demon’s intent.”

“Indeed. Come to think of it, this is the first time Jiang has left his Guixu world since the Immortal Alliance was founded, isn’t it?”

“Tsk, tsk, that person is in for it now.”

“Quick, keep an eye on the latest live feed. I can’t wait to see Brother Jiang display his might!”

Like a boiling pot, the pale space instantly erupted.

The Dharma Preachers, who had originally been composed, now all showed expressions of extreme excitement and anticipation.

In one miniature world resembling a mortal city, Dharma Preacher Feng, also known as Mo Rubing, felt a shadow fall over his heart.

“Be careful.”

Li Fan was controlling millions of divine demons.

At that moment, one of the divine demons issued a faint warning.

But Li Fan, who was in control of the situation, did not ignore it.

Instead, his expression instantly became extremely serious.

“This is…”

“Mo Rubing?”

“He didn’t show himself, but instead warned me secretly.”

In an instant, Li Fan deduced the probable cause of the change.

“A powerful enemy is approaching!”

While his internal alarm bells rang loudly, Li Fan showed no trace of panic.

Instead, he felt a faint excitement.

After all, the power he now wielded could rival that of the Longevity Heavenly Venerate. If it were to simply dissipate without a grand display, it would be quite a shame!

“Let me see who it is that can make even the Dharma King of Xuantian Sect so nervous.”

With a flicker, Li Fan appeared before the Faceless True Immortal statue in the Spiritwood Realm.

His tribulation body, laden with golden votive power, slowly floated out.

It was also shrouded in a garment woven from golden threads.

The tribulation body elongated, forming a protective shield that enveloped Li Fan’s true form.

“Thus, I can be said to stand in an invincible position.”

“If I were truly defeated, I fear the entire Xuanhuang Realm would have to be buried with me!”

Li Fan narrowed his eyes and sat cross-legged.

He calmly awaited the arrival of his opponent.

“It should be the same as with Mo Rubing: they’ll use a divine demon clone to backtrack into my sea of consciousness.”

“Now that I have the help of millions of cultivators, how could I fear him?”

“However…”

Li Fan pondered for a moment, then his mind instantly reconnected with the towering ancient tree in the Spiritwood Realm.

With continuous refining day and night, Li Fan’s mastery over the Spiritwood Realm was already nearly complete.

At this moment, his mind merged with the ancient tree, as if residing within the heavens and earth.

His mind intertwined with the Spiritwood Realm’s heaven and earth.

At this moment, Li Fan was the Spiritwood Realm, and the Spiritwood Realm was Li Fan!

“I have millions of cultivators, and a miniature cultivation realm.”

“Hmph, unless the Dharma Preacher himself arrives…”

Having made all these preparations, a cold glint flashed in Li Fan’s eyes.

He was poised for action.

With his spiritual perception as clear as observing a fire, Li Fan soon acutely sensed a subtle disturbance.

Just as he had anticipated, a certain entity, after possessing one of the divine demon clones,

...began backtracking along the connections within the network of thoughts,

...slowly making its way towards Li Fan’s sea of consciousness.

On Li Fan’s side, he had already mobilized the full power of the remaining millions of demonic gods.

He was just waiting for the opponent to reveal themselves before delivering a thunderous blow.

However, when the formidable enemy he had envisioned truly manifested within Li Fan’s sea of consciousness…

...Li Fan chose not to act!

“You are…”

Li Fan squinted, observing the other party.

It was a frail-looking young boy, with a hint of elegance still lingering on his face.

The boy’s eyes were full of innocence and curiosity as he surveyed his surroundings.

Li Fan, who was always cautious in his actions, still did not make a move.

He allowed the boy to freely observe the scene within his sea of consciousness.

“This feeling…”

An indescribably strange sensation surged into Li Fan’s heart.

He looked at the young boy before him as if he were looking at himself.

No…

It seemed, this young man was clearly himself!

His mind spun, and countless memories suddenly emerged.

Originally, he was a child from an ordinary mortal family, fortunate enough to encounter the Dharma-Spreading Heavenly Venerate. He received enlightenment from him, and then willingly spread the new Dharma…

These were memories he had lost due to injury…

“So that’s it. I am Dharma Preacher Jiang.”

“Could there be any secrets between myself and myself?”

Such thoughts suddenly surged within Li Fan’s mind.

Li Fan’s guard slowly lowered.

The thousands of ferocious demonic gods also softened their appearances.

The young boy strolled casually, as if wandering around his own home, moving slowly through Li Fan’s sea of consciousness.

“Interesting. Every divine demon is formed from a wisp of consciousness.”

“They can possess other cultivators’ bodies, and even devour the opponent’s spiritual consciousness to strengthen themselves.”

The boy nodded in admiration.

“The secret techniques of the Xuantian Sect, passed down from the Immortal Realm, are indeed extraordinary,” Li Fan said with a touch of pride.

The young boy paused slightly, then his eyes flickered.

He began to examine Li Fan even more closely.

“Excellent, the True Immortal cultivation method is truly formidable!” the young boy exclaimed, clapping his hands after a moment.

“It’s just a pity that it’s still a little short of achieving its purpose,” the young boy said with some regret.

Li Fan also nodded slightly: “Indeed. I wonder what happened with Mo Rubing. We had an agreement that as long as he represented the Myriad Immortal Alliance to resolve this matter, I would cooperate by self-sacrificing all these divine demons, allowing him to achieve great merit…”

“But that fellow has been delayed. Something must have gone wrong.”

“As expected of the Myriad Immortal Alliance, their foundation is unfathomable.”

Li Fan narrowed his eyes, nodding in thought.

Upon hearing Li Fan’s words, the boy’s expression finally changed slightly.

With a hint of solemnity in his eyes, the boy continued, “What should be done about this?”

“If millions of divine demons continue to run rampant, there’s a risk of them going out of control if this persists. It would be better to contact him first and clarify the reason.”

Li Fan waved his hand, revealing a chilling smile: “Heh heh, it’s fine. Even if he’s exposed and dies, it won’t affect me.”

“Look, how powerful is the force we can control now! Out of control? What’s that? It’s not worth mentioning at all!”

Li Fan’s face was filled with confidence: “It would be even better if things truly spiraled out of control and the Myriad Immortal Alliance couldn’t resolve it.”

“Given the Dharma-Spreading Heavenly Venerate’s regard for the Xuanhuang Realm, it might even force him to reveal himself.”

“At that time, with the spiritual consciousness of millions of cultivators combined with the integrated world consciousness of the Spiritwood Realm, I might just be able to contend with him head-on!”

Hearing these words, the boy gaped, finally stunned into complete silence.
