Chapter 2006 - 1988: One Thousand Two Hundred Thirty Li
"Uh... I forgot to tell you, I can perform alchemy, and my skills in alchemy are quite good. I personally crafted these elixirs." Fang Yan looked at Li Xing and said with slight embarrassment. Indeed, he hadn’t told Li Xing about his ability to perform alchemy before, so it was normal for Li Xing to be shocked by his elixirs.
"What did you say? You can even craft Heavenly Grade elixirs... How is that possible!" Hearing Fang Yan’s words, Li Xing’s gaze towards Fang Yan completely changed. He could never have imagined that these Heavenly Grade elixirs were crafted by Fang Yan. In his mind, he wondered if this guy was even human. How could he perform alchemy? And most importantly, Fang Yan was merely a doppelganger of his junior disciple. If even the doppelganger could achieve this, what could his junior disciple be like? He dared not even imagine...
Sure enough, just as he was thinking about this, Fang Yan spoke up.
"Is this so surprising? Your junior disciple, Lin Feng, is much more powerful than me. He can even craft Supreme Elixirs now." Fang Yan did not hide anything about these matters. After all, encountering Lin Feng’s senior brother was not easy, and after being honest and upfront, he still wanted to take Li Xing to do other things.
"How can this be..." After listening to Fang Yan’s words, Li Xing was completely speechless. He looked at Fang Yan and said, feeling defeated, "Is there anything my junior disciple can’t do like you..."
Li Xing was truly frustrated by this. Originally, he believed that by becoming the master’s disciple, he was already a remarkable man, a true cultivation genius, having reached the late stage of the Earth Immortal Realm before turning forty. But now, he was really overwhelmed by this junior disciple whom he had never met. Compared to the junior disciple, what was his cultivation level worth? And not only that, even the doppelganger of a junior disciple made him incomparable...
When Fang Yan heard Li Xing’s words, he immediately smiled and thought seriously for a moment before answering, "There really isn’t anything he can’t do. Using my original self’s words, that would be Peerless Divine Skill, alchemy and artifact refining, survival ability, killing techniques, Hundred Schools of Thought, astronomy and geography, divination and astrology, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, multiple languages, and so on, omnipotent. Oh yes, he’s also proficient in bedroom techniques!"
Recalling these matters told by his original self, even Fang Yan found it amusing. But he knew that his original self was indeed proficient in these things, far beyond what ordinary people could compare with. Originally, he had no concept of these things, but when he left his original self to come to the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm, he realized just how exaggerated his original self’s abilities were!
"Uh..."
Li Xing almost choked after hearing Fang Yan’s words, looking at Fang Yan with an extremely ugly expression, not knowing how to face this junior disciple at all. This... this guy still human? This is simply a monster, a never-before-seen monster in this world!
Seeing Li Xing in this state, Fang Yan laughed and said to Li Xing, "Senior brother, you don’t need to be so frustrated. My original self is your junior disciple, so our strength is also your strength."
"That’s indeed true!" Li Xing felt much less conflicted when he heard Fang Yan say this. What Fang Yan said made sense, and thinking about it like this, a smile appeared on his face. Having such a powerful and monstrous junior disciple is indeed something rather joyous.
Just as they were discussing this, a rumbling noise suddenly echoed in the hall, followed by the opening of the passage they had entered the hall through. Seeing this, the two of them immediately walked through the passage to the Outer Sect.
After the two arrived outside, the terrifying Thunder Prison that originally surrounded the mysterious mansion had unknowingly disappeared by now. Such a situation was very unexpected for the two, but then they thought of Fang Yan obtaining the Annihilation Thunder Flame, and assumed it was arranged deliberately by the Annihilation Thunder Emperor. After obtaining the Perfect Thunderflame, the terrifying Thunder Prison naturally disappeared; everything was of the same breath.
When the two flew out of the valley together, Fang Yan asked Li Xing, "Senior brother, where do you plan to go?"
"I don’t know either. Over the years, I’ve been wandering among the interfaces of various cultivation worlds, searching for my opportunities, so I truly do not care where to go next." Li Xing shook his head as he said this. The path he walked was different from ordinary people. He had always wandered among various cultivation interfaces to achieve his current accomplishments, so he really didn’t care where he would go next.
Upon hearing this from Li Xing, Fang Yan immediately laughed and said to Li Xing, "Senior brother, if you don’t know what to do, then how about we do something big next?"
"What do you mean?" Li Xing asked in confusion upon suddenly hearing Fang Yan say this, not understanding what Fang Yan meant.
"I mean, let’s team up to assassinate the people of the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm. What do you think?" Fang Yan smilingly said to Li Xing.
"What... team up to assassinate the people of the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm? What do you mean..." Li Xing couldn’t comprehend why Fang Yan would say such a thing, and he asked in confusion. He was truly baffled, wasn’t Fang Yan here as an undercover agent? Why would he want to assassinate the people of the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm, and what’s more, plan to collaborate? If this information leaked out, he wouldn’t even know how he died.
"Listen to me, Senior brother." Seeing Li Xing confused, Fang Yan smiled and said, "Senior brother, haven’t you guessed that the Holy Soul Sect uses Black Spirit Stone to arrange some formation to open the space passage to Earth? Now, the Holy Soul Sect is conquering various cultivation worlds, precisely to plunder Black Spirit Stone, so if we strike now, it will hurt them so much that they won’t dare attack other cultivation interfaces anymore. What do you think will be the consequence?"
"This..." After hearing Fang Yan’s words, Li Xing immediately understood Fang Yan’s intention, saying, "In that case, the Holy Soul Sect will be pressured and unable to attack other cultivation interfaces. Even if the Holy Soul Sect continues its conquest on other cultivation interfaces, it will suffer heavy losses. By the time the space passage to Earth opens, the strength of the Holy Soul Sect will be greatly weakened, which will ease things a lot for junior disciple on that end."
"Brilliant! This tactic is simply brilliant!" After analyzing, Li Xing couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. Fang Yan’s idea was indeed ingenious. Based on his ability, if he employed assassination techniques, even Earth Immortal Realm Powerhouses in the late stage would probably have no chance to escape. It should be noted that there aren’t many Earth Immortal Realm Powerhouses in the late stage within the entire Eternal Joy Immortal Realm. When that time comes, the pressure on junior disciple’s Earth end will be greatly reduced. This is simply a two-birds-with-one-stone strategy!
But just after finishing speaking, he noticed something was amiss, that is, all of this comes down to resolving one issue: how to carry out the assassination. If even a single message leaks, he will surely be pursued and killed by the Holy Soul Sect. When it comes to others, he might have that confidence, but as for the Holy Soul Sect, there’s still someone called Xiao Ke. If Xiao Ke gets involved, wouldn’t he be in grave danger!
Thinking of this, he asked, "But Fang Yan, how to ensure the other party doesn’t detect any messages? Based on my ability, I can instantly kill anyone below the Human Immortal Realm, but for Earth Immortal Realm Powerhouses, I can’t kill instantly. At that time, once the message leaks, the consequences would be unimaginable."
"That’s not an issue." Fang Yan had expected such a situation. He continued to say to Li Xing, "I can remotely command you and simultaneously affect the opponent, preventing the opponent’s Divine Sense from detecting you. As long as you’re ambushed well and strike when the opponent is unprepared, just kill them. There’s no difficulty at all."
"As for the Earth Immortal Realm Powerhouses, we’ll see depending on the situation. If the circumstances allow, you can directly solve it; if it’s unsuitable, I won’t let you take action. You just need to follow my arrangements by then." Fang Yan spoke lightly. The fact is that he could easily do what he mentioned because he didn’t believe the opponent could have a Divine Sense comparable to his.
Finally, Fang Yan neither forgot to add, "Don’t forget, our task is assassination. We can use various methods to conceal our identities. As for the spoils from killing these people, I don’t want any of it; it’s all for you. Also, if you need Elixirs, as long as you have Spiritual Medicine, I’ll think of ways to craft them for you. Under these circumstances, it will sufficiently ensure your safety."
Actually, Fang Yan hadn’t previously thought of using such a meticulous strategy to assassinate the Holy Soul Sect and those within the Immortal Realm because he was right under their noses. To cause them death relying solely on his Divine Sense was too challenging, and he couldn’t act personally due to fear of exposing his identity.
Li Xing surprisingly solved his problem. With him secretly orchestrating Li Xing, a late-stage Earth Immortal Realm Powerhouse, as long as he manages it carefully, assassinating Earth Immortal Realm Powerhouses isn’t a difficult task. This way, it won’t affect his undercover identity while also possibly decimating the real combat power within the Eternal Joy Immortal Realm. It’s simply a two-birds-with-one-stone strategy!
After listening to Fang Yan’s words, Li Xing was stunned. With his wisdom, how could he not understand Fang Yan’s intention? If things proceed according to Fang Yan’s plan, it will be a devastating blow to the troops that engage on multiple fronts, capable of crippling the Holy Soul Sect and the three major sects!
He now understood Fang Yan’s goal. Fang Yan wasn’t just seeking information but instead wanted to sabotage the strength of the Holy Soul Sect and the three major sects as much as possible, injuring them fundamentally to prevent them from opening the space passage. The feasibility of such a plan is exceedingly high, so much so that he could almost be certain that it wouldn’t take long for the Holy Soul Sect and the three major sects to refrain from sending disciples over for conquest anymore because the number of deaths would surpass the imagination of others.
"Fang Yan, I admit your idea is meticulous, but there’s one problem. Can your Divine Sense remotely control me and still block the opponent’s Divine Sense detection? Can you tell me how strong your Divine Sense is?" Li Xing asked the crucial question for the entire plan to work. If Fang Yan couldn’t hide his presence, then everything would be pointless. He was genuinely curious now, as Fang Yan’s statement indicated an extraordinarily robust Divine Sense.
"Specifically, it hasn’t been measured, but conservatively estimated, it should be around one thousand three hundred miles." Fang Yan responded with a smile, understanding Li Xing’s concerns, explaining simply to reassure him.
