第八百五十八章 石板凝岁月

The scholar, engrossed in the stone tablet, seemed somewhat surprised.

After a moment, he spoke with an odd tone. "Even if there are still unresolved matters within your heart now, what can you do against the dead?"

Li Fan was slightly taken aback.

"The Immortal-Demon Relief Sect no longer exists," the scholar said with some sentiment. "The World-Gazing Divine Eye is merely executing its final command."

"Is the Immortal-Demon Relief Sect really gone?" Li Fan's heart trembled at this news.

Seeing his disbelief, the scholar smiled and nodded in confirmation: "Absolutely true. It's dead beyond any doubt."

"Could it be a障眼法 (blinding trick) to avoid disaster?"

His long-time adversary, the old Yinbi hiding behind the scenes,

had actually been completely eradicated.

Unable to accept this, Li Fan still asked hesitantly, "Did Immortal Master He personally intervene? There's no way the Immortal-Demon Relief Sect could have survived."

The scholar chuckled. "After achieving Eternal Life through defying heaven and earth, he rarely intervenes. The destruction of the Immortal-Demon Relief Sect was one such rare occurrence. They managed to escape for a long time but ultimately couldn't avoid their fate," he said with some regret.

"The master may be gone, but the damage caused is irreversible. We can only let the World-Gazing Divine Eye remain."

"Fortunately, this thing isn't noticeable in daily life. So we just leave it as it is."

"Moreover, these paper figures will naturally dissipate within ten thousand years due to time's passage. Hence, no one pays much attention."

The scholar explained earnestly.

Li Fan understood the situation clearly.

It was still the same analogy of comparing Xuanhuang World to a house.

After defying heaven and earth, Eternal Life Immortal became part of that house.

But due to a momentary oversight, this house had been filled with surveillance cameras, all connected to its structure.

Removing them would inevitably cause irreversible damage.

Already hovering between life and death in the Realm of Immortals, Xuanhuang World couldn't bear such a result.

Thus, despite his reluctance, Li Fan reluctantly accepted this reality.

With anger boiling inside him, the scholar who claimed to be the house's owner personally destroyed the Immortal-Demon Relief Sect that installed these cameras.

Li Fan fell silent after sorting out the situation.

"Why did they do it?"

A trace of nostalgia flashed in the scholar's eyes. "Those fellows were always talking nonsense. Who knows what was in their heads?"

"But we can be certain they foresaw the consequences."

"Yet, they still insisted on doing it."

"I'm also curious," he said with a smile.

"Unfortunately, the dead cannot speak. Perhaps this mystery will never be solved."

Li Fan's expression turned solemn.

From his words and actions since appearing, this scholar was undoubtedly an immensely powerful cultivator from ancient times.

"May I ask your name?" Li Fan asked respectfully.

The scholar revealed: "I am the one without a name in the Ten Immortal Sects."

Li Fan's heart trembled.

In previous research on the Ten Immortal Sects, he could only find nine sect names; none was recorded for the tenth. He had even thought it might just be a conventional term or that one sect had already perished.

He never expected to see this most mysterious and unnamed tenth sect today!

Moreover, the scholar's words were intriguing: "The one without a name in the Ten Immortal Sects is me..."

"Is it like Sister Zhao, where each person is a sect?"

Even though the scholar appeared harmless, Li Fan was now on high alert.

This might be his second encounter with an Eternal Life cultivator.

Seeing Li Fan's tense demeanor, the scholar shook his head. "No need to be so nervous. I don't care about the disputes between the Five Elders Association and the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."

"Even the survival or destruction of Xuanhuang World doesn't interest me much."

"If one day Xuanhuang World is truly destroyed, I will be the first to cheer," he seemed to imply.

Looking at his back, the scholar's expression was complex.

Seeing that the scholar wasn't lying and had no malicious intent, Li Fan grew bolder. "Senior, this stone tablet..."

"In ancient times, cultivators often stole heaven and earth's eternal vitality by consuming Apewood fruits."

"However, I obtained this stone tablet due to a fortunate chance, allowing me to coexist with the heavens and earth for countless millennia," he said with weariness.

"This is called the Creation Stone Tablet. Everything that happens in Xuanhuang World, no matter how trivial, automatically appears on it."

"People believe it's a supreme treasure and want to take it from me."

"I eagerly wish for this but can't be taken away by anyone."

"Would you like to try it?" he asked sincerely.

Li Fan was shaken.

Everything in Xuanhuang World would appear and record itself?

Wasn't that the ultimate fusion of bloodline history books and the World-Gazing Divine Eye?

If he could obtain it, all secrets from ancient times to now would be within his grasp.

What a stroke of luck!

Li Fan's mouth went dry.

Yet, he had some sanity left.

Facing the scholar's question, Li Fan hesitated and shook his head repeatedly.

The scholar was disappointed but explained, "My words are not empty promises. You can try it."

Despite the scholar's sincerity, Li Fan still refused to listen.

The scholar shook his head in loneliness and didn't insist further.

"Modern people have become increasingly timid."

Li Fan closed his eyes, pretending he hadn't heard.

After a while, seeing no mention of the matter, he asked again, "Senior, with your status, why did you come here to meet me?"

The scholar looked at Li Fan with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"I came specifically for you."

Li Fan's heart tightened. "Senior, don't scare me. I'm just an insignificant元婴 cultivator; how could you possibly notice me?"

"The Creation Stone Tablet can record everything that happens in the world," he said loudly.

"But some things transcend the world." (The text ends here)
