第八百六十二章 李凡谋妙计

"Not bad, I made a mistake before as well."

"Originally, I thought that the items in this fishing pond were placed there when they were forged a thousand years ago."

"But what I caught last time wasn't from back then. It's something that appeared within the past five hundred years."

The stone fisherman unfolded his palm, revealing a curved black jade resembling a horn.

"What is this?" Li Fan couldn't recognize it.

"This is [Invoking Heaven Horn]. It's an invention of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. When blown, it can briefly invoke the power of the heavens within one region," the stone fisherman said succinctly.

"The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?" Li Fan was initially taken aback before his expression changed slightly.

Turning around, he looked at the fishing pond, and his thoughts raced.

"Got it? The items in this pond aren't static. They are constantly being replaced by new objects from outside, not just Xuanhuang, but even other cultivation worlds."

"While we're fishing here in the starry expanse, it's also fishing across all of creation..."

The stone fisherman's words confirmed Li Fan's suspicions.

It was as if a tidal wave had been unleashed upon him, leaving his mind unsettled for a long time.

Even though he had already experienced the wonders of the fishing pond firsthand, he still hadn't grasped its full potential.

"Is this the power of an Immortal Artifact?"

"Not only does it contain countless treasures, but there's no need to worry about depleting them."

That was Li Fan's thought. However, what the stone fisherman cared about was different.

His usually calm tone now had some ripples: "This is truly [Fishing]."

"This Immortal Artifact isn't simple."

"If I can master it, perhaps I could fish across all of creation on my own and find whatever I want without needing to use it," the stone fisherman said excitedly.

Li Fan fell silent. He finally realized that a wonder like the World-Creating Stone would choose someone extraordinary, not an ordinary person.

With his new discovery, the stone fisherman stopped fishing and transformed into a newborn infant, sleeping soundly by the pond.

A few days later, seeing no signs of waking up, Li Fan shook his head and left.

"Even with Senior's profound understanding, comprehending the art of fishing might take more than just a moment or two."

"Fortunately, he didn't occupy the fishing pond. No one dares to disturb him."

Li Fan felt helpless but instructed Lin Ling to wait there and contact him if anything happened.

He returned alone to the Spirit Wood World.

At this time, he received news from the Five Elders Association.

"Even their meeting was a fake."

"This Senior Stone must have really gotten into his role," Li Fan thought as he recalled the other's tone and demeanor.

"Perhaps this is one of his quirks. Thankfully, he has a good temper; he wouldn't kill me on a whim."

Over these few days following Senior Stone, besides uncovering some ancient secrets, the most important thing was understanding the core of the conflict between the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association.

Recalling what the stone fisherman said, Li Fan thought:

"The Xuanhuang World is like a ship about to sink."

"The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association are vying for ultimate control."

"Both have absolute confidence that they can save the Xuanhuang World from its fate. But first, there must be a final ruler."

"Haha, just like the Daoist Ten Sects several years ago."

"They weren't blinded by power; they needed to coordinate and concentrate all world resources to escape. If someone was on both sides..."

"So, fighting is fine as long as it doesn't threaten the existence of Xuanhuang. Like five hundred years ago when those traitors returned."

The stone fisherman's tone turned harsh when mentioning that group of traitors.

"Five hundred years ago should refer to when the small worlds attacked. But these small worlds seem like puppets. The true masterminds are likely those who betrayed Xuanhuang in the past," Li Fan thought as he cross-referenced what the stone fisherman said with his previous findings.

"Worthy of being the bearer of the World-Creating Stone, knowing so many secrets. Too bad about the strength."

"How much I can know depends on Senior's mood."

"Otherwise, I would interrogate him day and night."

Li Fan's thoughts slowly turned.

From the stone fisherman's perspective, things that Li Fan couldn't see clearly or seemed shrouded in mist became clear.

When hearing this discussion of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association, Li Fan asked: "What about the Transmission Sage? What is his attitude toward all of this?"

The stone fisherman seemed to have heard something extremely amusing.

He laughed loudly as if no one else was around before replying:

"Transmission? Xuanhuang may sink..."

"But the Transmission Sage can fly, right?"

"He doesn't care."

"However..."

The stone fisherman's smile suddenly faded.

"This is just my speculation."

"In fact, for the Transmission Sage who regards Xuanhuang as his private property, his attitude is somewhat uncertain."

"Otherwise, he could have left long ago."

The stone fisherman's voice gradually weakened until it was inaudible...

"The Transmission Sage can fly."

"Indeed, He has already managed to ignore the influence of the Immortal Void and leave on His own."

Li Fan thought to himself.

"How powerful must one be to escape Xuanhuang?"

"Might I try..."

The idea suddenly appeared in Li Fan's mind.

Although no one from the Longevity Realm had escaped Xuanhuang, except for the Transmission Sage, within it, the connection might have prevented them from leaving due to some form of binding effect.

"Besides, we don't necessarily need to rely solely on our own strength. We can also use external forces."

Li Fan recalled the countless obelisks that stood in Xuanhuang during the 114th Era.

"If I achieve an Immortal Core by fusing the Five Elements and creating a new world..."

"Then build obelisks on the ground, using their thrust..."

"There might be a chance to escape Xuanhuang."

In fact, with the True Realization, Li Fan had no intention of fighting Xuanhuang to the death. If possible, finding another cultivation world would be much better.

After all, in a sinking Xuanhuang World, anything could happen.

Throughout his journey, Li Fan encountered too many demons and monsters.

"A try, two birds with one stone."

Li Fan mentally calculated his next move.
