…
The prompt for [Truth] appeared “before” Li Fan’s eyes, but now he had no mind to make a choice.
Instead, he was sensing the changes happening to his body.
Just like when he had previously come into contact with the Immortal Ruins immortal power, even after [Truth], he still felt an overwhelming hunger.
This time, under the radiant immortal power of the Faceless True Immortal, Li Fan, who had returned in a sorry state through [Truth], also failed to completely shake off the corrosion of the True Immortal’s power with just one [Truth].
“The side effect brought by the Immortal Ruins immortal is a hunger that wants to devour everything around. As for the Faceless True Immortal…”
Li Fan carefully groped his face.
It was as if a layer of skin had been draped over it, covering all his facial features.
Only touch remained.
Although divine sense assisted in perception and did not affect normal actions or daily life.
It still made Li Fan feel a slight chill in his heart.
“Not only has my face disappeared, but also…”
Li Fan used his divine sense to “look” at his body.
It unexpectedly showed a faint transparency from time to time, like a ghost.
“My [existence] is also gradually disappearing.”
He had just returned to Anchor Year 1, and [Truth] was still recharging. If he died now, it would truly be death, with no chance to start over.
Faced with such a desperate situation, Li Fan did not panic at all.
Instead, he thought rapidly with utmost calm.
The experience of previously using several [Truth] to thoroughly dilute the influence of the Immortal Ruins immortal power made Li Fan understand that the influence the Faceless True Immortal had imposed on him this time should similarly be resolved through multiple [Truth].
This did not mean that [Truth]‘s ability was starting to fall short when facing a True Immortal. Rather, Li Fan himself was too weak.
But now several key problems lay before Li Fan.
“First, [Truth] requires recharging. And before that, if I do not do something, I am afraid I will not last that long.”
“Second, under the influence of the Faceless True Immortal’s radiant immortal power, I have become like this. Compared to my previous life as a True Immortal’s emissary, the influence on me now is even deeper. In other words…”
“From the very beginning of this life, I have already fallen into the True Immortal’s net. Based on the final experiences of my previous life, even if I trigger the myriad Transformations of changes in Xuanhuang, it may not necessarily attract the Faceless True Immortal’s attention. But once I activate [Truth], it will inevitably draw Him here.”
…
Li Fan walked out of the wooden hut on the mountaintop and came to the edge of the boundless sea of clouds.
Looking at the red sun rising at the horizon, under the sunlight, Li Fan felt no warmth at all.
Instead, a thread of uncontrollable chill emerged in his heart.
Li Fan sat quietly by the cliff, thinking seriously.
At the same time, it seemed as if he were waiting for something.
Until the sun reached midday, a full half day passed, and Great Xuan Jieli Mountain remained calm and peaceful.
No accidents occurred.
Only then did Li Fan let out a long breath, a feeling of narrowly escaping disaster surging in his heart.
“The Faceless True Immortal did not come.”
He stood up and patted the dust off his body.
Feeling the increasingly ethereal body, Li Fan gazed at the light screen “before his eyes,” where the [Truth] prompts continued to flicker incessantly.
He still made no choice and simply ignored it for the time being.
Returning to the wooden cabin at the mountain peak, he lay on the bed and pondered.
“What is the essence of [Truth]?”
“When the true becomes false, the false becomes true.”
“For a bug like me, who appeared without warning in the True Immortal Net, the Faceless True Immortal chose to turn a blind eye. Either it means He cannot detect the specific situation in the Xuanhuang Realm’s small world. Or…”
“Before this, the world did not exist. The moment I returned, time began to flow, and everything truly gained meaning. From my perspective, it was due to the karma of my previous life that I suddenly appeared in the True Immortal Net. But for that Faceless True Immortal, I have always existed within the True Immortal Net. So there is no anomaly at all. That is why He has not descended.”
Countless thoughts churned in Li Fan’s mind.
“If it were a reversal of time, then the Faceless True Immortal at this current time node should keenly sense the changes happening to Himself. For a True Immortal, to have something occur beyond His control—He would certainly not overlook such an anomaly and would trace the thread right to the door.”
“But none of that has happened.”
Li Fan repeated in his heart once more the seven words that accompanied each appearance of [Truth].
“When the true becomes false, the false becomes true.”
“Turning the illusory into the real, reorganizing all things. With such a divine object at my side, yet trapped in this wretched state—it truly does not add up.” Li Fan shook his head and said with self-mockery.
In the end, he had somewhat underestimated the power of a True Immortal.
He had not expected that even after activating [Truth], that brilliant immortal power could still trace back to its source.
Moreover, it seemed that the stronger the existence, the more sensitive it was to the power of [Truth].
The Faceless True Immortal’s sudden outburst, suppressing the Immortal Ruins’ immortal power and rushing over in haste, clearly indicated that He knew something about [Truth].
“The manifestation of [Truth] is closely tied to my own strength. Before advancing to the Longevity Immortal Realm, it is best not to provoke Them.”
So Li Fan thought.
After making this interim speculation and summary about the True Immortals and [Truth], Li Fan finally began to consider how to resolve the current crisis.
“I am now at the third anchor point. [Truth], as a Foundation Establishment artifact, and I’m at late Foundation Establishment cultivation. If I choose to inherit my previous life’s cultivation, it would instantly complete the transformation from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Soul Transformation stage.”
“But I am currently within the True Immortal Net. The reason I have not attracted the Faceless True Immortal’s attention is that my own strength is negligible. But if a Foundation Establishment ant instantly becomes a Soul Transformation ant, it might draw His gaze…”
“So the method to resolve this life’s crisis is clear. Hide in the Dark Realm, and at the moment of inheriting my previous life’s cultivation, activate [Truth] once more. Avoid the Faceless True Immortal’s further corruption, while using [Truth] to wash away the mark He left on me. Repeat this process.”
“But before that…”
Li Fan reached out, intending to pick up a teacup placed in the wooden cabin.
At first, there was no issue, but as his body became somewhat transparent, the teacup slipped from his hand and fell directly to the ground.
“So this is the power of the Faceless True Immortal. Existence itself being stripped away…”
What Li Fan needed to address first was finding a way to stabilize his own existence before [Truth] finished recharging.
Otherwise, all would be for naught.
And from his current physical condition, the time left to Li Fan was not much.
