Chapter 966: The Secret of the Law Transmitter

Lingmu Realm.

"Hmm? Why hasn't the gray mold burst yet?" After waiting for nearly a month without hearing any news, Li Fan couldn't help but feel perplexed.

"That doesn't make sense, does it?"

After much thought and careful re-evaluation, Li Fan concluded that the problem could only lie with the Transmission Master.

"As expected of one of the Supreme Rulers of the Myriad Immortals Alliance, an entity that has survived since the ancient catastrophe."

"While it still can't compare to the 'Hunger' character above the Immortal Ruins, the destructive power of the gray mold should be superior to that of ordinary Immortals..."

"To be able to resolve it so easily and without a trace..."

"Perhaps the correct way to use the gray mold is to first secretly infiltrate and erode different parts of the Xuanhuang Realm, then have multiple points erupt simultaneously..."

As Li Fan, well-versed in pharmacology, pondered this, the only sentient demon he had left behind — the one possessed by Mo Rubing — finally arrived belatedly, sending a message.

"Brother Xingwang, are you well?"

"Who? Where did this petty thief come from!" Li Fan feigned forgetting the other party.

Without another word, he prepared to attack.

However, without the aid of his myriad sentient demons, and considering only spiritual power, Li Fan was clearly no match for Mo Rubing at this moment.

Mo Rubing parried while trying to awaken "Sun Xingwang's" memories.

After a period of feigned struggle, a faceless stone statue slowly emerged in the empty sea of consciousness, radiating a faint golden light.

Li Fan slowly ceased his attack.

He stared at Mo Rubing for a while, his expression unreadable as he said, "You finally arrived."

"Hmph, us two brothers almost never saw each other again."

Li Fan's tone was unfriendly, and he glared, "Didn't we agree that you'd appear directly when the time was right to take on the task of sweeping away the sentient demons? Why did a cunning young man show up instead?"

"If it weren't for the timely protection of the Supreme Red Dust Benevolent True Immortal, I would have almost fallen into his trap and revealed all my secrets!"

"Or was this the result you intended? To kill with a borrowed knife?"

A hint of murderous intent appeared on Li Fan's face.

Mo Rubing's expression tightened. "Brother Xingwang, don't misunderstand! I also didn't expect Transmission Master Jiang to choose to act personally!"

"It's just that the commotion you caused was a bit too great, almost risking the overthrow of the Xuanhuang Realm."

"To be honest, I was startled at the time."

There was a hint of helplessness in Mo Rubing's tone.

"Hmm? So you're saying it's still my fault?"

Although it was a brightly lit sea of consciousness, Mo Rubing suddenly felt a chilling sensation after Li Fan's words.

To prevent the other party from losing control, he quickly changed the subject. "By the way, Brother Xingwang, how exactly did you repel him? Judging by his subsequent actions, he must have returned empty-handed, without any gains."

Li Fan said impatiently, "I already told you it was the protection of the Supreme Red Dust Benevolent True Immortal! Otherwise, I would have foolishly believed I was him and he was me!"

At this point, Mo Rubing finally confirmed that "Sun Xingwang" had indeed escaped from Transmission Master Jiang's grasp.

After all, only the other Transmission Masters knew the true nature of Transmission Master Jiang.

Mo Rubing inadvertently glanced at the gradually fading stone statue above his head, lost in thought.

"However, our ultimate goal has been achieved. This time, I resolved the crisis of rampant sentient demons, and according to custom, I will be responsible for all important matters of the Immortal Alliance for the foreseeable future."

"So, it's time to put more pressure on the Xuanhuang Mirror again," Mo Rubing said.

Li Fan waved his hand. "Same as always, you figure out a way. Just tell me what you need me to do!"

Mo Rubing smiled. "Brother Xingwang, you won't need to act again this time. Just wait patiently. I'll contact you when there's progress."

"This time was mainly to confirm your situation. After all, Transmission Master Jiang is truly difficult to deal with. I've always avoided direct contact with him..." Mo Rubing's tone was somewhat solemn.

"Tell me more about this Transmission Master, so I won't be caught off guard if I encounter him again," Li Fan said, following the lead.

"I actually wanted to warn you the day he made his move. But it was during the Transmission Masters' Council, and being able to send a warning at all was the limit."

"Transmission Master Jiang is the foremost among all Transmission Masters. He possesses the supreme characteristic of 'All Things Are Like Me'..."

"The Gui Xu Realm, left by Transmission Celestial Venerable, can be infinitely restored to its original state..."

"Aside from Transmission Master Jiang, Transmission Master Jiang is also an extremely difficult opponent to deal with."

This time, Mo Rubing held nothing back, narrating all the information he knew about the various Transmission Masters.

"It's important to note that while Transmission Master Jiang always acts without reservation, the other Transmission Masters all have their own hidden secrets to varying degrees."

"After all, having held supreme power in the Myriad Immortals Alliance for so many years, they possess almost inexhaustible resources at their disposal..."

"Who knows what strange things they've secretly developed. For example, the Heaven-Patrolling Arrow from before was based on a mature manufacturing plan provided by Transmission Master Zhao."

During their conversation, Li Fan not only learned why the gray mold hadn't erupted.

He also gained a significant amount of information about the Transmission Masters, who had always remained behind the scenes, for the first time.

Each Transmission Master belonged to the true privileged class of the Myriad Immortals Alliance. Their annual contribution quotas were virtually limitless, and their merit ranks were at the highest level, Yan 49.

They only participated in the contribution and merit rank system as a formality, merely to maintain the Immortal Alliance's structure.

Transmission Masters exist by relying on the Xuanhuang Realm and the path established by the Transmission Celestial Venerable. Although they can no longer attain true immortality this way, they can still live as long as heaven and earth, perpetually youthful.

Furthermore, it is said that even if they perish for some reason, they can reappear in the world through a method of recovery and backup.

Of course, incidents of Transmission Masters being attacked or perishing for any reason have never occurred since the Immortal Alliance's inception.

Thus, Mo Rubing was unsure of its veracity.

There are eighteen Transmission Master seats in total, and this number has remained unchanged since the founding of the Immortal Alliance.

It will never change in the future either.

They are the true high-level authorities of the Myriad Immortals Alliance; any so-called regulations or laws of the Alliance have no effect on them.

Only resolutions passed within the Transmission Masters' Council can influence them.

They also possess privileges that ordinary cultivators wouldn't even dare to imagine.

For instance: conscription.

Within the Myriad Immortals Alliance, if they fancy any cultivator, for whatever reason, they have the right to conscript that cultivator into their personal small world.

The chosen cultivator then vanishes, as if having evaporated from the mortal realm.

No records whatsoever are preserved.

For thousands of years, the Transmission Masters have operated in this manner.
