Does the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord really exist?

This question isn’t actually important.

Since the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and many cultivators have already reached a conclusion, then regardless of his past,

From now on, he is just a ghost wandering within the territory of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

Selecting victims at will, making it impossible for people to guard against.

Anyone could be the unforgivable Thousand-Faced Demon Lord.

And the ultimate authority to interpret his identity lies in the hands of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, which possesses the Tianxuan Soul-Locking Array.

This is the most important thing.

Li Fan could almost foresee that when the Soul-Locking Array is completely constructed, cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance will face an even more perilous cultivation environment.

“When it reaches that point, the situation can be considered thoroughly collapsed. As a mere Golden Core cultivator, I’m afraid it will be extremely difficult for me to protect myself. Perhaps by then, I can return to the Truth earlier…”

Enemies will come when barriers are erected, and troubles will arise when defenses are heightened. The popularization of the Soul-Locking Array is still at least more than ten years away. Any further concerns for Li Fan at this moment are just needless worry.

Take one step at a time and see how things develop.

Li Fan suppressed the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind and began the ritual to enter the Fallen Immortal Realm.

“Fortune-bestowed Xuanhuang Immortal Sovereign!”

The blurry scene in front gradually became clear.

The whistling wind constantly echoed in his ears.

It seemed like he was rapidly flying in the sky, surrounded by bone-piercing coldness, causing Li Fan’s body to tremble slightly.

“Huh? This time it’s actually different from Ningyuan City. We’re not starting over in an egg?” Li Fan, who had regained a bit of self-awareness, was somewhat surprised.

But soon, he recalled the time frame when this scene took place.

The little boy Xu Ke was tightly hugging the neck of the Green Phoenix, while Li Fan was hanging on his neck.

The Green Phoenix rushed towards a certain direction as directed by the little boy.

Isn’t this the scene from the last time he left the Fallen Immortal Realm?

This feels like a real continuous drama?

Li Fan felt somewhat strange.

Although he lost the opportunity to endlessly explore opportunities, he didn’t feel restless because of constantly repeating a certain period of time.

It can be said to have advantages and disadvantages.

Transforming into the Divine Bird greatly limited Li Fan’s thinking ability.

Instead of thinking too much, he simply scratched Xu Ke’s hair and began to contemplate the insights he gained from the last entry into the realm.

Other than the extremely powerful Heavenly Mandate Profound Light, there’s also the ability to condense and gather qi luck, known as “Heaven’s Mandate Within Me.”

Squinting his eyes, Li Fan looked again at the purple-gold pillar of light soaring into the sky above Xu Ke’s head.

Li Fan instinctively began to absorb the strands of energy radiating outward from the purple-gold brilliance.

As if swallowing the most powerful elixir between heaven and earth, the scattered golden-purple radiance entered his body, making Li Fan feel like he had immersed himself in a warm spring.

He could clearly feel his spirit and physique gradually growing stronger.

With a refreshing sigh, he transformed into a faint golden thread imperceptible to ordinary people and re-entered the purple-gold qi luck pillar above Xu Ke’s head.

“So this is the Heavenly Mandate Divine Bird…”

Li Fan suddenly understood how “Heaven’s Mandate Within Me” worked.

Among all living beings in the world, each has their own qi luck, all different.

Some sail smoothly through life, always turning bad luck into good.

While others are naturally unlucky, encountering setbacks at every turn.

However, qi luck is not immutable.

It is extremely susceptible to external influences.

Those who have been smooth-sailing in the first half of their lives may suddenly encounter misfortune after certain events, causing their lives to take a drastic turn for the worse.

And those who have been unlucky for most of their lives may suddenly have a change of fortune one day, becoming wealthy and prosperous.

The reason lies in the fact that qi luck interacts with external factors and is extremely volatile.

The weaker the original qi luck, the more so it is.

People like Xu Ke, whose status is beyond description, may not be easily affected by external shocks.

But every time they encounter disasters, it will deplete a bit of their original qi luck.

During their daily activities, they will constantly radiate outward, consuming themselves.

Over time, if there’s only output and no input, qi luck naturally becomes weaker.

The “Heaven’s Mandate Within Me” ability of the Divine Bird is to absorb the owner’s everyday emitted qi luck, nourishing itself, and then feed back the condensed qi luck to the owner.

Not only can it help the owner accumulate and strengthen qi luck, avoiding consumption in inexplicable places,

But it can also temporarily lend its own qi luck to the owner during times of crisis.

Thus, the Divine Bird and its owner can be said to complement each other and mutually complete.

“It seems like following this kid isn’t a bad idea after all,” Li Fan greedily sucked in another breath of invisible purple-gold qi, couldn’t help but think so.

“Hey, kid, where are you going now?” After absorbing this strand of qi luck, Li Fan felt himself grow stronger.

With a thought, he immediately attempted to communicate with Xu Ke.

Of course, not verbally, but silently in his mind.

“Wow! Xia Hei, you actually learned telepathy!” Instantly, Xu Ke’s voice echoed in Li Fan’s mind.

“Xiao… Hei? Who are you talking about?” Li Fan suddenly grabbed Xu Ke and scratched him fiercely.

“Ouch, it hurts.” Xu Ke rubbed his head and said innocently, “Xianhe is Xiao Hong, Green Phoenix is Xiao Qing. You’re all black, so calling you Xiao Hei isn’t wrong, is it?”

Li Fan pecked him several times in a row, “I am the mighty Heavenly Mandate Divine Bird! How can you use such vulgar names?!”

“Okay.” Xu Ke, feeling the pain, had to compromise.

“Then I’ll call you Xiao Xuan.”

Although Li Fan was still a bit unhappy, at the moment, he was incarnated as a beast, and his brain was not fully developed.

With insufficient brain capacity, he couldn’t come up with a better name for the time being.

“You still haven’t answered my question, where are we going now?” Li Fan asked.

Seeing Li Fan acknowledge the name he gave, Xu Ke burst into silly laughter.

At the same time, he answered in his mind, “We’re going to find Senior Lu Ya.”

“The whole sect is still in chaos now, all because Mr. Bai was too ruthless, scaring everyone.”

“Many senior brothers and sisters don’t want to stay in the sect anymore, feeling that there’s no future.”

“Some ran away, some escaped. Even the senior uncles and senior brothers, as well as many elders, don’t know where they’ve gone. No one has come out to maintain order.”

“This has led to increasingly severe chaos.”

“It’s really dangerous. If we encounter someone like Song Yang again, we might not be so lucky.”

“So, let’s go find Senior Lu Ya. He’s so strong, it’s definitely safer to stay by his side.”

“Maybe we’ll even get to see Mr. Bai on the way, hehe.”

Xu Ke’s thoughts flowed quickly as he rattled off.

“How do you know where your Senior Lu Ya is?” Li Fan asked, somewhat surprised.
