F{h*F 5#,LjChapter 773: A Thousand Schemes to Cause Chaos

“[Art of Self-Founded Cultivation]…”
Liu San gave a bitter smile, “The Young Master somehow came up with this fantastic idea.”
“The difficulty of it is truly not small. All those little ones could very well be considered prodigious talents.”
“During this period, they have all advanced to the realm of Perfect Energy Cultivator. Yet, they are stuck by this Foundation Establishment Method.”
Liu San shook his head, “In my opinion, for them to succeed in the Art of Self-Founded Cultivation is very difficult.”
“At first, it was a measure of desperation to deceive the Tianxuan Treasure Mirror. Now that we’re considering pledging allegiance to the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, should we continue? Perhaps…” Liu San tested the waters with his question.
“It’s said that one should always be guarded against others. Joining the Immortal Alliance might not pose any danger in the short term. However, we can’t rule out the possibility of a fallout with them in the future,” Xu Bai stroked his chin, pondering deeply.
“Having an ace up one’s sleeve is always good. Let’s continue with this plan,” Xu Bai said in a heavy tone.
A trace of surprise flashed across Liu San’s eyes, and he subconsciously nodded his head.
“The Sect Master’s consideration is indeed comprehensive,” Fang Zaiji was quick to express his agreement.
At this moment, Xu Bai turned his gaze to Jiang Yushan, “I heard that Elder Jiang is brooding over her narrow defeat to a Female Cultivator of the Combine Way from the Immortal Alliance?”
Jiang Yushan furrowed her brow and nodded, “The New Way of Integration usurps the Power of Heaven and Earth. In combat, it indeed has a few advantages over the old method of Unity-Path. However, I’ve already thought of a way to counter it. In the next competition, I will certainly make her pay.”
A cold glint flashed in Jiang Yushan’s eyes.
Xu Bai did not ask further but instead took out a green fruit that seemed to exist between reality and illusion from his Storage Ring.
“This item contains the Principle of Heaven and Earth, and is a rare treasure of our time. Perhaps it may be of help to Elder Jiang.”
Without waiting for Xu Bai to say more.
The moment the [Fruit of Truth] appeared, the aura it contained instantly attracted the attention of the three Unity-Path cultivators present.
Although they were unclear on the exact uses of the fruit, the faint fluctuations of law emanating from it were enough to demonstrate its extraordinariness.
Fang Zaiji’s mouth watered so much he almost drooled, muttering repeatedly, “Sect Master, you really play favorites. Such a wonderful item, and you only give it to Yu Shan.”
“Do you have any more of that? Give me one to try.”
Xu Bai chuckled, “Do you think these are fruits that grow on trees, ripe for the picking at any time? I also had to save up for a long time to barely purchase this one. If it wasn’t because I saw Elder Jiang constantly troubled by this matter, I wouldn’t have taken it out so casually. To be honest, it does hurt a little.”
Xu Bai laughed heartily.
Seeing this, Jiang Yushan was about to return the [Fruit of Truth].
But Xu Bai firmly refused, “Once a gift is given, where is the reason to take it back? Elder Jiang, please keep it.”
“After all, the stronger your power, the safer our Medicine King Sect will be.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yushan nodded and accepted the [Fruit of Truth].
She then took her leave to enter closed-door cultivation.
“Yu Shan…” Liu San watched her leaving figure, opening his mouth but then hesitating to speak.
Jiang Yushan did not turn her head and did not respond.
At this point, Xu Bai turned to Fang Zaiji, “Since the research on the Terminal Disc has been fruitless, idling away is also a waste.”
“Elder Fang might as well take this opportunity to help me reinforce the Medicine King True Cauldron,” Xu Bai suggested.
Fang Zaiji’s expression fell.
“If you satisfy me, then I might go and purchase another [Great Taoist Fruit], it’s not out of the question.”
The Great Taoist Fruit was the name fabricated by Xu Bai for the [Fruit of Truth].
Fang Zaiji’s eyes lit up, and he quickly said, “Rest assured Sect Master, leave it to old Fang. In fact, when you assigned me the task before, I already had a preliminary plan on how to reinforce the Medicine King True Cauldron. However, due to time and material constraints, I have yet to start…”
“Now, Elder Fang, you can rest easy. Whatever materials you need, just ask me,” Xu Bai said with a smile.
Extending his palm, the Medicine King True Cauldron rotated unceasingly upon it.
“After all, with our Medicine King Sect’s disciples still inside it, we must consider their safety,” Xu Bai implied.
Liu San’s gaze lingered long on the Medicine King True Cauldron.
It was not until Xu Bai followed Fang Zaiji to the Alchemy Room that he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
His expression was inscrutable, his thoughts unknown.

Tianquan Province.
After a long time of data processing, Li Fan had fully deciphered the content of the [Technique of Endless Duality].
Having tried to activate his divine technique, Li Fan also wondered if he could use it to eliminate Mr. Bai’s influence on himself.
Unfortunately, whether it was because the limit of his divine technique wasn’t enough, or because he had been tainted by Mr. Bai to the point of no return,
when Li Fan invoked [Even True], a multitude of reluctant emotions swept over him once again.
They erupted altogether, causing him to quickly close the Even True panel involuntarily.
“It seems I’ve thought too much,” he said.
Li Fan, who had already failed several times, did not take it to heart.
After committing the content of the [Technique of Endless Duality] to memory, he did not continue with his cultivation.
Instead, he set it aside for the time being.
He took out the Dissociation Disc.
At this moment, the Dissociation Disc looked even more crystal clear and translucent than before.
“Nine Discs Contest of Supremacy, seven have departed,” he murmured.
“Now, only I and another unknown competitor remain.”
Li Fan fondled the smooth, jade-like Dissociation Disc, pondering to himself.
During the free time before, he had infused all the array techniques he knew, except for the [Great Array of Life-Death Reversal] and [Tian Xuan Soul Locking Array], into it.
And he felt that the Dissociation Disc in his hand was significantly stronger than the remaining one.
Even if he ceased feeding it with array technique data, allowing it to iterate naturally,
it would still emerge victorious in the end.
“It seems the other party has also resigned to fate and given up the struggle,” he noted.
“It’s just a pity that I’m running out of time,” Li Fan said, shaking his head slightly.
He chose not to infuse the last of the array technique data into it.
“If the Tianxuan Secondary Life Entity is still within the perception range of the Tianxuan Mirror,” he thought,
“then that’s also my trump card.”
“I wonder, after the Tianxuan Mirror’s ascension, compared to the resurrected Mr. Bai, which is stronger or weaker,” Li Fan mused, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes.
Seeking life from death, he naturally had to create more chaos from which to draw.
Just as during the arrival of the Crimson Blaze Ocean and Mo Sha, to prevent others from deducing to the true self through a clone, confirming the clone’s death for sure,
of course, the more chaotic, the better!
The existence hidden in the shadows of the Xuanhuang World were simply too many; only by instigating them to fight against each other
could he slightly obscure their line of sight.
“Actually, there is another method to shed Mr. Bai’s influence,” he realized.
“That is to eliminate the source of [Longing] entirely.”
“For instance, if I covet the complete Dissociation Disc, then unlock its ultimate form.”
“For instance, if I can’t bear to part with the Terminal Disc that can completely block the Tianxuan Treasure Mirror, then hurriedly study all possible outcomes.”
“It’s just a pity…”
“It’s only theoretically possible.”
“The saying goes, ‘Insatiable desires are hard to fill’.”
