第1316章 传法被控谜

It was no ordinary treasure that the Xuan Shang Immortal Ship had come to collect; it was a unique existence, a heart demon frozen in ice.

---

The Xuan Shang Immortal Ship's collection of this ice-bound world was indeed precious, but why? The key lay in the identity of the illusory figure within. According to Dao Sheng, if not for witnessing it firsthand, no one could have imagined such a strange and wondrous existence.

"Back then, after gathering this ice-bound world, the Xuan Shang Immortal Ship spent decades debating its true nature," Dao Sheng said. "In the end, they concluded that the illusory figure within was a heart demon. It was speculated to be an embodiment of another realm's heart law principle."

"However, why did it leave its original world and suffer such calamity?" asked Li Fan.

Dao Sheng replied, "The Xuan Shang Immortal Ship actually had some reasonable guesses about this point. Heart demons are formless and intangible, unbound by space, able to freely traverse the starry seas. Without a physical body, they can even directly appear in a cultivator's mind. There have been cases where heart demons influenced cultivators, causing them to lose their minds as if transformed into someone else."

"The invasion of a heart demon is akin to the most refined form of possession," Dao Sheng continued. "Although this实体化的心魔非常特殊,它仍然摆脱不了心魔的本质。穿梭星海,寻找合适的宿主寄生,就是它的本能。或许这就是它出现在那被冰封世界的原因。"

"Even with the strength it displayed when the world was frozen, a heart demon could not only affect cultivators but even the world's essence consciousness. It had the ability to corrupt other worlds' essence consciousness and replace them. Perhaps calling it a 'Heavenly Demon' would be more appropriate."

---

Dao Sheng spoke eloquently, his words tinged with regret over losing such a treasure.

Li Fan's heart stirred as he recalled the scene from his previous life: during the Immortal Array's apocalyptic storm, the transmission body gradually dissolved to reveal its transparent form. The moment Li Fan saw this transparent figure, a faint sense of familiarity washed over him.

It wasn't that Li Fan had seen this transparent figure before; rather, it was familiar due to the essence of similar entities he had once encountered: Heavenly Annihilation, Heavenly Decree, Heavenly Sound, and Heavenly Medicine.

Or perhaps...

From the Heaven Law Realm.

---

"Could it be a Heavenly Demon?" Li Fan thought. "A member of the Heaven Law Realm's revered ones?"

"Heaven Law Realm's revered ones act on behalf of heaven to uphold its laws. A Heavenly Demon is the manifestation of the heart law path."

"But due to its nature, a Heavenly Demon roams through the starry seas and rarely returns to the Heaven Law Realm," Dao Sheng continued. "Unfortunately, it encountered an extremely rare stellar phenomenon that led to its eternal ice imprisonment."

"If not for Transmission Technique's intervention, it would have been forever frozen, becoming part of the Xuan Shang Immortal Ship's collection."

"But why did Transmission Technique save a Heavenly Demon? And later, why was it corrupted by it?"

Li Fan suddenly saw Tianyi's figure. Based on their interactions in his previous life, Transmission Technique seemed to be under Tianyi's control.

Previously, Li Fan had speculated that Transmission Technique might have been a clone crafted by Tianyi.

But now, the relationship between them appeared more complex.

"Transmission Technique, Xuanxuan Dog Egg. Perhaps it was reborn as the Immortal King," Li Fan thought. "For most of its life, it was just an ordinary person until something akin to a consciousness suddenly awakened and possessed it."

---

Regardless, Li Fan now understood why Transmission Technique had been controlled by Tianyi.

"And perhaps that's also why there are no heart demons in the Xuan Shang Realm anymore," he thought. "With a实体化的心魔, there would be no smaller heart demons causing disturbances."

Li Fan concluded that the reason for Transmission Technique being under Tianyi's control was due to the Heavenly Demon within his soul.

He then realized that the Xuan Shang Realm had no more heart demons because of this entity.

---

"Speaking of which, who exactly stole it? And is he still alive?" Li Fan asked.

"If we have enough information, perhaps Great Qi can help track down this thief," Dao Sheng suggested.

"Do you mean True Immortal inscriptions?" Dao Sheng asked.

Li Fan shook his head. "No, it's a protective boundary artifact that integrates the power of arrays. Its nature is complex; I cannot explain it in detail."

Although Li Fan was vague, the Xuan Shang Immortal Ship's civilizational depth had been sufficiently demonstrated by its earlier demonstration of the 'Creation' power.

Therefore, his statement did not raise suspicion among the ship elders.

---

After some discussion, to avoid arousing Li Fan's suspicions, they showed him a recording of the thief from back then. Indeed, it was Transmission Technique's Highness.

However, there were subtle differences between this recorded image and what Li Fan had seen in his previous life.

The expression seemed more vivid, almost like two people.

---

"Indeed, that is a remarkable treasure," Li Fan said with genuine admiration. "It's truly regrettable that such a valuable item was stolen."

"What did the thief look like? Is he still alive?" Li Fan asked.

"If we have enough information, Great Qi might be able to help track down this thief," Dao Sheng replied.

"Do you mean True Immortal inscriptions?" Dao Sheng asked again.

Li Fan shook his head. "No, it's a protective boundary artifact that integrates the power of arrays. Its nature is complex; I cannot explain it in detail."

Although Li Fan was vague, the Xuan Shang Immortal Ship's civilizational depth had been sufficiently demonstrated by its earlier demonstration of the 'Creation' power.
