第八百五十九章 破碎玄黄界

As the Scholar of Stone Tablets spoke, Li Fan's heart was already on high alert.

However, Master Li now possessed the power to fight at the Dao-Integration stage. With numerous great divine powers like Seven-Colored Jade Virtue Luminescence backing him up, he no longer easily succumbed to others' words.

Even if his opponent were the Eternal Heaven Sovereign!

Li Fan decided...

To probe deeper into this person's true intentions!

Thus, Li Fan feigned some confusion and surprise: "Beyond the Xuanhuang Realm? What does that have to do with me?"

The Scholar of Stone Tablets smiled. "Since you won't admit it, let us see if there are any records in these stone tablets about you."

Behind him, a layer of green light emerged from the stone tablet.

An aura of沧桑岁月 (sorrowful years) emanated from the scholar as various images began to appear around them. It was like falling into history's long river, with scenes from ancient Xuanhuang Realm unfolding before their eyes, like a scroll being unrolled.

The scholar even grunted and his body began to swell. His appearance and attire inexplicably changed rapidly. Sometimes he appeared as a handsome scholar, sometimes as a robust woodcutter, and at other times as a seductive beauty. Even occasionally, he wasn't human but a tree or flower. Above him, the stone tablet remained unchanged with perpetual green light.

Finally, the images on the surrounding screens stabilized. The fluorescent light revealed Li Fan himself!

However, there was no scene of his flying out from Great Xuan. Not even the initial scene where he entered the Xuanhuang Realm through a spatial channel to capture Tianyang and subdue the Heavenly Yang Cave Palace.

He merely brought Tianyang into Stone Lin州 and found the entrance to the Spirit Wood Realm. After re-entering, he captured Shang Tianci in Jiuhshan State. In Taihua State underground, he discovered Mr. Bai's secret chamber. Returning to the Spirit Wood Realm, he led out Lin Ling with Dao-Integration power. First, they completed a transaction with the Five Elders Association, then rushed towards the Heavenly Spirit State's Five Elements Great Heavens.

...

The scenes kept changing.

However, Li Fan's vigilance immediately relaxed somewhat.

"Exactly as I thought."

"The World-Creating Stone Tablet records everything that happens in the Xuanhuang Realm. But only the initial Xuanhuang Realm!

"To know this: the current Xuanhuang Realm is a fusion of the original Xuanhuang realm, countless heavenly palaces and small worlds, even fragments from other cultivation realms!

"The World-Creating Stone Tablet may not have records for these outsiders!"

Still using the house analogy.

The initial Xuanhuang Realm was just a single small room. But after years of expansion by countless cultivators, the Xuanhuang Realm had grown much larger than before.

The original small room's World-Creating Stone Tablet, born with the world, had complete record-keeping authority.

But for these foreign lands, the World-Creating Stone Tablet lost its recording ability!

...

The scenes continued to change, matching Li Fan’s expectations, with interruptions and gaps.

Most crucially, places he frequently visited like Cunyun Sea, Spirit Wood Realm, Five Elements Great Heavens... were not recorded.

So, it was mostly scenes of him traveling non-stop.

"That book scholar said I came here..."

"Where did the flaw lie?"

Li Fan's thoughts raced.

The images on the stone tablet were almost at present time. Suddenly, a split personality named Ji Shao Li appeared in the scene. As soon as he entered Yongyun State, the image abruptly cut off. After Ji Shao Li left Yongyun State and headed for Spirit Wood Realm, the screen dimmed. Then came his promotion to Yuan婴 realm and his swift flight across states after leaving Spirit Wood.

"Was it the Seven-Colored Divine Light that caught his attention?" Li Fan thought.

The next words from the Scholar of Stone Tablets confirmed his guess.

"I don't care about the authenticity of the Inter-Realm Alliance."

"What I'm more interested in is where you obtained this Seven-Colored Divine Light," the scholar looked at Li Fan with intense eyes. "This object's power level cannot be nurtured by remnants of a state domain."

"Could it not have been something I personally discovered?" Li Fan countered.

The Scholar of Stone Tablets chuckled.

"I carry the World-Creating Stone Tablet, so naturally, I am familiar with this divine light's aura. It almost condensed the laws of an entire world. If you had that ability, I wouldn't be asking questions here."

"Instead, it would be you," the scholar said calmly.

Though there was no mocking tone, his expression and tone made Li Fan snort in cold laughter.

Seeing Li Fan remained silent, the Scholar of Stone Tablets continued: "Rest assured, I won’t take your things. This Seven-Colored Divine Light is powerful indeed, but to me, it’s just a nuisance."

"What I truly want to know is where this divine light was nurtured," the scholar admitted.

Li Fan narrowed his eyes. "Senior, what do you mean? How can you be sure that the Seven-Colored Divine Light came from something specific? Couldn't it have been hidden in Yongyun State as a single treasure?"

The Scholar of Stone Tablets sighed.

Suddenly, the surrounding screens turned pitch black before a flicker of seven-colored light appeared. In the darkness, this light was incredibly bright and obvious.

"Did you understand?" the scholar asked Li Fan.

"This kind of treasure, no matter where it exists in the world and whether someone has refined it or not, will always be like this."

"In the past..."

"Some people thoroughly searched Xuanhuang Realm. Apart from that Heavenly Xuan Mirror, there are no more treasures on realm artifacts now."

"So, your Seven-Colored Divine Light must have just appeared recently..."

Upon hearing this, Li Fan's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

He hadn't expected such a powerful light to be so noticeable in the eyes of true powerhouses?

As he pondered how to respond to the Scholar of Stone Tablets' questions, he quickly formulated a plan.

Feigning great difficulty and struggle, he finally sighed: "Alright, I knew this would eventually come out."

"Senior, follow me; you'll see."

Saying that, he woke Lin Ling from her daze, who had been watching silently without daring to speak. Then they descended underground towards Yongyun State.

The Scholar of Stone Tablets strolled leisurely behind them in the earth's veins.

Seeing this scene, Li Fan inwardly whistled.

But he also thought: "No wonder in the previous life, even with a Fishing Pond as a treasure, Zhong Shen Tong didn't guard it all the time. Instead, he wandered around."

"It seems that after leaving Yongyun State and revealing his Seven-Colored Divine Light, this Scholar of Stone Tablets discovered something amiss, leading him to seek out Zhong Shen Tong."

"Compelled to lose ownership of his treasure."

"Really careless."
