第四百二十六章 古修至未来

"Indeed so!"

Li Fan's clear voice echoed in the space.

The White Jade Questioning Platform was silent, showing no reaction.

The elder scrutinized Li Fan once more before asking, "May I ask where you were previously asleep? And approximately when did you awaken?"

Li Fan wore an expression of displeasure but still spoke in a deep tone, "On the outskirts of Cunyun Sea, within a subterranean cave. As for the time, it should have been about 26 days ago."

"Please wait a moment," the elder said with a smile before closing his eyes.

Li Fan patiently waited on the platform.

After an entire day passed, Li Fan began to show signs of impatience.

"Still not done, old man?!"

"Just like how times change. Back in our time, when we selected disciples for the Heaven Mechanism Sect, it wasn't this troublesome..."

He muttered under his breath.

A moment later, the elder opened his eyes.

"After confirmation, a cultivator did indeed emerge from the Hundred Stones Heavenly Realm recently."

"However, friend, please be patient; there is one final procedure to complete."

The elder offered an apologetic smile as he spoke. A weathered copper mirror appeared above Li Fan's head and emitted a faint green light that enveloped him.

"Here it comes..."

Li Fan felt the presence but remained calm.

In his future, the Refining Heart Spell combined with the One Hand遮天 Technique was enough to deceive the upgraded Heaven Mechanism Mirror, Xuanwang.

Now, with the Seven-Spindle Perforated Heart adding support, this verification would only involve a Heaven Mechanism Mirror's avatar.

The likelihood of exposure was minimal.

Sure enough, after a short while, the green light from the Heaven Mechanism Mirror withdrew and disappeared.

The elder's expression became even more amiable. "Welcome to our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, friend!"

"Time passes, and everything changes. Over these years you were asleep, many significant events have transpired in the world."

"If there are any needs of yours, we can dispatch specialists from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to assist you in adapting to your current life..."

Li Fan waved his hand dismissively. "Thank you for the offer! But before coming here, I had dealings with Mr. He Zhenghao on Lustrous Isle. I already have a good understanding of your affairs."

The elder nodded. "That's better. Your identity information has been recorded, and now you can act freely."

Hearing this, Li Fan stepped away.

"By the way, remember to change how you address us. It’s no longer 'your alliance,' but 'our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.'"

With a smile, the elder said something with deeper meaning.

Li Fan paused for a moment but did not respond, walking away directly.

Leaving the central area of the Ten Thousand Immortals Island, he arrived at the Heaven Mechanism Mirror.

Looking at this seemingly ordinary and harmless mirror, Li Fan couldn't help but recall the green net that had once enveloped all of Xuanhuang World in his future.

After a long gaze, Li Fan took a deep breath and stepped into the mirror.

"Ancient cultivator Li Fan, welcome to the future!"

The familiar mechanical voice of the Heaven Mechanism Mirror rang out.

Then came an explanation of its functions.

Li Fan pretended to listen intently, trying each function one by one.

After a long while, the voice from the Heaven Mechanism Mirror faded away.

Looking at his contribution points balance, Li Fan saw:

"10,000 points."

"Really generous! I remember only receiving 1,000 points when I was in late Foundation Establishment."

"Perhaps ancient cultivators receive special treatment?"

Shaking his head, he dismissed the matter.

After searching through the list of techniques on the Heaven Mechanism Mirror, Li Fan took out a stack of jade slips from his storage ring and requested to sell them.

These were the various techniques he had acquired in the Hundred Stones Heavenly Realm.

Fortunately, all of these were unique copies.

Originally, there were twenty Golden Core Techniques and ten Foundation Establishment Techniques.

Li Fan kept three for each type, reserving them for future use. The rest were sold off.

The Heaven Mechanism Mirror offered an average price of 13,000 points per Golden Core Technique and 85,000 points per Foundation Establishment Technique.

Li Fan didn't haggle; he simply sold them all.

In a flash, his account balance became 826,000 contribution points.

"Trading techniques for profit is still the fastest way to earn. It's so easy, almost like what I gained from teaching at Bright Moon Palace over many years."

"Truly indispensable."

Li Fan couldn't help but remark.

"Over 800,000 contribution points can sustain me for a while, but it’s not enough..."

At present, Li Fan was still in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Eight years later, by the year 16, the Five Elements Great Heavenly Realm would be discovered and relocated back to the heartland of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

By the year 36, the Sky Spirit State would see the re-emergence of the Five Elements Heavenly Realms, drawing the attention of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance once more.

This meant Li Fan had only twenty years left.

Time was pressing. He needed to advance from Foundation Establishment middle stage to full completion within eight years before he could plan for the Sky Spirit State's void region.

Eight years, from Foundation Establishment middle stage to full completion.

Given his cultivation aptitude, it would be challenging.

So naturally, some means were necessary.

Li Fan looked at his reflection in the mirror. Not the youthful appearance of twenty years old but that of a middle-aged man around forty or fifty.

This was achieved through The Wondrous Xuan Technique's ability to transform appearances.

"Putting on a new skin and not revealing one’s true face, this unique sense of security is invaluable in the perilous Xuanhuang World."

"If things go wrong, it would just be changing identities."

Li Fan smiled slightly as he purchased the materials needed for creating an avatar within the Heaven Mechanism Mirror.

Using the Unformulated Killing Will to guard Taining Island, Li Fan targeted Zhou Qingang, a fellow spy from the Five Elders' Association.

He pretended to leave but remained hidden underwater nearby, waiting patiently for over a month until he finally caught an opportunity when Zhou Qingang was alone at sea.

Following him into uncharted waters, Li Fan's Binding Insect Technique suddenly activated, capturing him.

Li Fan brought him to the seafloor and dug a secret chamber before proceeding without further ado. He flicked his index finger, and the Cloud Water Illusory Dream Technique was activated.

Zhou Qingang fell into a deep sleep almost immediately.

With experience from the past life, Li Fan knew that Zhou Qingang's soul contained special restrictions set by the Five Elders' Association.

Forcing a search would trigger these restrictions, causing his soul to scatter.

Thus, in this life, Li Fan used a different method—constructing a false dream world to delve into his deepest secrets.

Slowly, a smile appeared on Zhou Qingang's lips.

In the dream, he had been diligently spying for the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance for centuries, rising from the ranks and eventually becoming the Lord of Taining Island.

With internal and external support, the Five Elders' Association launched a massive assault, swiftly conquering the entire Cunyun Sea in just a few days.

Zhou Qingang finally returned to his hometown with a sense of fulfillment.

...

"Land of Virtuous People?"

Li Fan looked at Zhou Qingang, who was lost in his dream. "Thoughts on that."

The work for this chapter isn't finished yet; I need more time.
