Chapter 337: Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance Headquarters
"Hehe, the Blue Feather Treasure Box, also known as the Blue Feather Legacy."
"It is said to be the treasure left by the Blue Feather Immortal Lord of the Yuan Dao Province before his fall, stored in various blue boxes. They were scattered across the Yuan Dao Province, left for those with fate."
"And I, naturally, am one of those fated individuals."
Han Yi's face was full of excitement as he recounted to the two.
"You might not believe it if I tell you. At that time, when I just arrived in Yuan Dao Province, I was completely clueless."
"Suddenly, a blue box fell from the sky and landed in front of me."
"I thought it was some treasure of another cultivator and was startled. After regaining my composure, no one appeared for a long time."
"So, I gathered my courage and opened the box."
"Who would have thought..."
Han Yi seemed to be amazed at his own luck, reminiscing about the experience with endless admiration.
"Are you saying... this precious treasure came to you on its own?" Ximen Yue stared, pointing at Han Yi, his finger trembling slightly.
"Hehe, Sima Daoist friend, there's no need to be so surprised. It's just stumbling upon a treasure while on the road. Nothing too extraordinary, right?" Han Yi extended his folding fan, moving Ximen Yue's pointing hand away.
Sighing, he continued, "In my life, there have been ups and downs. I've experienced highs and lows. Now, I can look at such things with equanimity."
Ximen Yue opened his mouth to speak but found himself speechless.
Instead, he turned his head away, no longer looking at Han Yi's face.
Li Fan suddenly remembered that when Han Yi was caught by the Zhen Fish in the Cong Yun Sea, he heard that all of Han Yi's family's belongings were swindled by a Foundation Establishment Grandmaster, leaving him in a pitiful state.
"It seems he's not naturally lucky. What could have caused his sudden change of fortune?"
"Or is it more than just luck?"
As Li Fan pondered, he added Han Yi to the list of people to observe closely in the next life.
He didn't show any expression on his face but instead comforted Ximen Yue, "Daoist Ximen, you don't need to be so disheartened. Obtaining the Longevity Fruit means you also have extraordinary luck!"
"Extending life for five hundred years is also a remarkable treasure."
"By the way, I wonder where you obtained this Longevity Fruit?" Li Fan asked casually.
"Does it matter?" Ximen Yue seemed somewhat disheartened, very frustrated.
"My Longevity Fruit was a perilous adventure, found in the ruins of Li Ling in the Tian Hua Province. And he? It just fell from the sky!"
"Doesn't that make you mad?" Ximen Yue was about to say something else.
But a sudden appearance of a black figure made him stop involuntarily.
A black figure, its features obscured, as if shrouded in a veil of darkness.
But the chilling aura emanating from him sent a strong sense of danger to Li Fan.
Han Yi and Ximen Yue's expressions couldn't help but become serious in an instant.
The black-clothed figure glanced at Li Fan and the others, then threw a small round mirror into the sky.
The mirror hovered in mid-air, emitting a silver beam of light that enveloped Li Fan and his companions.
It seemed that some characters were flowing along the light.
After a moment, the beam of light disappeared.
The black-clothed person spoke, "Follow me."
He pointed towards the small mirror in the sky, and the circular boundary of the mirror dispersed like melting ice and snow.
It spread outwards, forming a rectangular gateway in an instant before ceasing its movement.
Silver brilliance circulated on the gateway, with the vague images of numerous buildings and cultivators appearing within.
This scene seemed somewhat familiar.
Li Fan suddenly recalled the scene when he saw the Tianxuan Mirror in the Celestial Pavilion.
Before he could contemplate further, Han Yi had already flown in first.
Li Fan followed closely behind.
There was no dizziness like in long-distance teleportation.
In fact, it wasn't much different from ordinary flight, and he couldn't even perceive passing through any gateway.
In an instant, Li Fan had already left the Tianji Court and arrived in an unfamiliar place.
Looking back, the path he had taken had quietly disappeared.
"Is this the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?"
Seeing Han Yi and Ximen Yue bewildered on both sides, Li Fan took a deep breath, calming the shock in his heart.
He carefully observed the scenery before him again.
The first thing that caught his eye was a towering statue of the Transcendent Master of the Transmission Law.
Unlike other statues seen in the cities of the Alliance, this Transcendent Master statue, at first glance, appeared no different from a living person.
Silver hair, skin as smooth as a child's.
Eyes closed slightly, with deep and compassionate gaze.
The clothes on his body, the tall crown on his head.
Everything looked so real, vivid, and lifelike.
Even from the statue of the Transcendent Master, waves of pressure emanated.
Although not directly targeted, it still felt like a heavy stone pressing on Li Fan's chest, making it hard for him to breathe.
Upon seeing the Transcendent Master statue for the first time, Li Fan inexplicably felt a great fear.
It almost made him instinctively want to call for Truth and leave this place.
Fortunately, he managed to suppress it with great determination.
It took him a long time to calm down and think rationally.
Li Fan kept reminiscing, pondering where the fear had come from.
It was a spontaneous warning from his body and soul, a pure subconscious reaction.
Although he didn't understand it, Li Fan chose to trust his intuition.
Slowly, Li Fan seemed to sense something.
But the answer he received was somewhat unbelievable.
Because, when he suddenly saw this lifelike Transcendent Master statue, a sense of familiarity surged within him.
It felt as if he had seen it before, triggering his body's instinctive warning.
It made him feel as if he were falling into a deep cold, unable to control himself.
"A sense of familiarity?"
"How is that possible?"
"Where did it come from?"
The astonishment on Li Fan's face was no longer feigned.
He forced himself to overcome his fear and once again observed the Transcendent Master statue, seeking the source of the familiarity.
However...
When he looked again, the towering Transcendent Master statue seemed to be nothing but an illusion, completely disappearing from his sight.
Just as Li Fan became increasingly suspicious, he suddenly heard Han Yi's admiring voice.
"When the Transcendent Master imparts the law, all beings bow down. What a magnificent scene! Those cultivators who were present at the time were so fortunate!"
Li Fan's heart stirred.
"The Transcendent Master imparting the law?"
"Could it be that Han Yi and I didn't see the same scene?"
At this moment, Ximen Yue's words timely confirmed Li Fan's judgment.
"With the establishment of the new law, the sky rains black blood, and all things weep together. What a cruel yet beautiful scene..."
"I wish I could have lived ten thousand years earlier to experience it personally."
And at that moment, the black figure from before appeared beside them, seemingly out of nowhere.
"There's a trace of the Transcendent Master's aura lingering in this space. First-time visitors here often have illusions."
He explained softly.
