Chapter 489: Chapter 461: Mysterious Network Reveals Its Strength
The killing intent in Gongsun Qixuan’s tone was in no way concealed.
“Then, please prove it yourself!”
He looked at Li Fan, saying somberly.
So now, the pressure was on Li Fan.
More and more eyes were gathering on him from all around.
“If you claim to know the future, then please perform it here and now.”
“Since you can predict the exact price fluctuations of items, I am sure it must be easy for you to deduce anything.” Gongsun Qixuan said in a deep voice, not leaving room for Li Fan to refuse.
Li Fan pondered for a moment but had to agree.
“Then I shall do as you ask!” He bowed slightly, took out the prepared [Cosmic Dice of Fate]. Li Fan closed his eyes and stood there, unmoving.
The hall became eerily silent as everyone keenly focused on Li Fan’s upcoming actions.
In those jade scrolls obtained from the Remains of Mechanism Sect, there were indeed some spells to predict the future.
However, they were all inferior techniques. If they were correct one out of a hundred times it would be something to be thankful for.
After careful study, Li Fan had a rough understanding of how they worked. Using them to feign expertise would not be a problem.
But to truly deducing something from them would be impossible.
Under the watchful eyes of many, Li Fan didn’t dare to overstep.
He was prepared to run away if he was exposed.
He then activated [One-Handed Sky Shrouding Technique] and a mysterious energy enveloped him.
The Cosmic Dice of Fate floated in front of Li Fan, starting to spin rapidly.
The twenty-sided shiny surface flickered with fractured visions.
Li Fan knew that even if these images only flickered momentarily, they couldn’t escape the keen eyes of the cultivators present.
Therefore, the images emerging from the Cosmic Dice of Fate were not randomly conjured.
They were genuine snapshots of past events that Li Fan would experience in his previous life.
True disguised as false, false appearing as true.
Only in this way could he deceive the people in the Martial Battle Hall.
However, knowing that no matter how realistic it appeared, Li Fan was also aware that this fabricated thing would not hold up under scrutiny.
Therefore, as the Cosmic Dice of Fate spun faster and faster, and its surface began to turn pitch black…
Li Fan’s body started to tremble and his complexion grew pale.
The horror on his face intensified.
Using “The Creation and Transformation Furnace Technique”, he spat out a mouthful of blood and exclaimed, “Tianxuan Spirit Locking, Xuanhuang Unification?”
At this very moment, the Cosmic Dice of Fate, as if to lose all spirituality, stopped spinning.
All twenty sides were completely black.
Li Fan, appearing greatly weakened, collapsed on the spot.
The Martial Arts Battle Hall was filled with an uproar.
No doubt, the implications hidden in the statement “Tianxuan Spirit Locking, Xuanhuang Unification” were terrifying.
A black-clothed cultivator, his face hidden, appeared in the hall out of thin air.
He paid no attention to the heavily injured Li Fan and looked towards Gongsun Qixuan.
“Friend Gongsun…”
Obviously, he was asking for his opinion.
In his view, this cultivator named Li Fan seemed to be bluffing.
However, since he was not familiar with the Art of Deduction, he could not disregard that the ancient methods might be different from the modern ones.
And the conclusion that Li Fan had drawn, was indeed alarming.
Out of caution, he decided to respect the opinion of an expert.
Gongsun Qixuan’s lips moved, as he seemed to be repeating the sentence that Li Fan had just deduced.
The expression on his face grew more serious.
A scroll appeared in front of him, slowly unfolding.
Originally, the canvas was blank.
However, as Gongsun Qixuan used his hand as the brush, waving it unceasingly.
The colors above gradually became richer.
Likely a scene, it was just about to take shape.
It seemed like painting with ink was extremely draining, Gongsun Qixuan initially seemed a bit under the weather.
In the process of this deduction, he surprisingly became even weaker.
It was as if his back was loaded with something heavy that bent his body inch by inch.
And his painting strokes gradually became slower.
At last, when the scene in the painting was about to be clear, Gongsun Qixuan’s fingers started to shiver intensely.
As if it encountered a massive roadblock, no matter what, this last stroke of the painting couldn’t be put down.
An air of ferocity emerged on Gongsun Qixuan’s face.
He lightly bit his tongue, and forcefully spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
When the fresh blood sprayed into the air, his hands clenched into a fist, and forcefully slammed down.
Using the blood as ink, and the fist as the brush, to complete the painting.
When the cultivators inside the Martial Arts Battle Hall and Gongsun Qixuan himself, looked towards the canvas.
Wanting to see the content clear and precisely…..
A dazzling and splendid beam of green light suddenly emerged from the rolled-up painting.
Not only did it drown the painting but also swept towards all directions.
The first one to bear the brunt was Gongsun Qixuan.
His forcible deduction had already consumed most of his strength.
At this moment facing the attack of the green light, he was caught unprepared and was hit directly.
“Ah!”
Gongsun Qixuan let out a wretched howl, his body instantly dissolved within the green light.
Leaving behind only a streak of black color, gently fleeing away without leaving a trace.
“Dammit, the backlash of the Heavenly Machine?!”
“Elder Gongsun?!”
…
This abrupt development shocked the cultivators inside the Martial Arts Battle Hall.
But immediately after, they were left to fend for themselves.
The green light spread like a tide, everywhere it passed, everything it touched was assimilated.
The giant peculiar rocks, together with the living beings on them, vanished without a trace like the snow melting in the water.
The face of the black-clothed cultivator changed abruptly, trying to stop the spread of the green glow.
But this green light was unstoppable no matter where it came from.
Therefore, left no choice but to withdraw.
In a few short moments, the original trial had turned into a runaway competition.
Among the cries of countless cultivators, the scene became even more chaotic and horrifying.
The moment Li Fan saw the emergence of the very familiar green light from the painting Gongsun Qixuan was deducing, he immediately sensed trouble.
Although he didn’t know what had gone wrong and why Gongsun Qixuan’s deduction had triggered the energy of the not yet born [Mystic Net].
But that didn’t stop Li Fan from making an early escape.
He followed the extremely panicked cultivators and hastily escaped from the Martial Arts Battle Hall.
The anomaly that occurred in the Ten Thousand Immortals Island Martial Hall quickly caught the attention of the other cultivators on the island.
The building that was originally impressive and majestic started to tremble abruptly.
Then, amidst the continuing tremors, it crumbled down violently.
Just as the green light was about to continue to spread, a beam of rainbow light arrived from the sky, in the blink of an eye it descended upon the Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
Countless clear patterns rose from the rainbow light, forming a gigantic net that captured the overflowing green glow.
A crisis that had been averted with ease.
Li Fan who was hidden among the crowd, however, couldn’t help but lower his head.
Just because the person who came was none other than the chief array master from the Immortal Alliance Formation Hall, Lu Qixian!
