Together with the cultivators, they looked towards Li Fenglan, as well as Mo Shenyu.
Since arriving at Xieguang Tower, Mo Shenyu’s attention had been on Ling Buyan, until this moment when he finally noticed the long sword in Li Fenglan’s hand…
The slender and long sword body, the plum blossom vines on the hilt, and the pure white like ice and jade sword body. There was only one sword like this in the world – the naturally born divine sword, Finished Karma.
The cultivators present had all read about Finished Karma in books, and some who were a little older had even seen Finished Karma and his master, Li Fuyue, with their own eyes.
But this sword should have stayed in Xieguang Tower, and its owner…
“Li Fuyue?!” The person who spoke these three words loudly was Mo Shenyu, his tone full of disbelief. “Aren’t you supposed to be dead and gone?”
Just as Ling Buyan had said earlier, Mo Shenyu was originally one of the countless consciousnesses that made up the Heavenly Dao, but because of his attachment to the mortal world, he developed a private desire. And as a person born from this private thought, Mo Shenyu’s thoughts were much more complicated than those of ordinary cultivators.
Li Fenglan was a person that Mo Shenyu found very interesting.
Not only that, but Li Fenglan was also the most beautiful person he had ever seen. To Mo Shenyu, Li Fenglan was one of the many concerns in this mortal world.
Mo Shenyu, who was born from an attachment to the mortal world, always had a special feeling towards such people.
At this moment, Mo Shenyu instinctively didn’t want to believe that Li Fenglan was Li Fuyue.
Seeing Finished Karma in Li Fenglan’s hand, Mo Shenyu suddenly took a step back in fear.
When Mo Shenyu called out “Li Fuyue,” not only Meng Linzhou, but even Jiang Yichang, who knew his identity, became nervous. He frowned and at the same time sincerely hoped that Li Fenglan would not admit his identity.
Li Fenglan was Li Fenglan, he did not want Li Fenglan to become “Li Fuyue” again.
But at this moment, under the gaze of half of the cultivation world, Li Fenglan suddenly smiled. He picked up his own Finished Karma, and then said.
“I really have lost my soul and scattered my spirit.”
He was indeed Li Fuyue…
Mo Shenyu widened his eyes, his mind completely blank.
And then, the sentence Li Fenglan said made Mo Shenyu lose his ability to think.
Li Fenglan said, “I also knew that you came to Xieguang Tower in Tianmian Palace today for Finished Karma.”
Not only was Mo Shenyu surprised, even Ling Buyan was as well.
He saw the extremely determined look in Li Fenglan’s eyes, and Mo Shenyu’s reaction confirmed it.
When Li Fenglan spoke, he seemed calm and composed, but his heart was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
–No matter who it is, after knowing who the culprit is that overturned their destiny, they would be afraid.
Li Fenglan only said half of what he had in mind just now. He learned from “Tianmian Daosheng” that Mo Shenyu came to Xieguang Tower to steal Finished Karma, and he could even tell that Mo Shenyu stole it to deal with Ling Buyan. However, Li Fenglan did not know the reason why Mo Shenyu did it.
At this moment, his purpose of saying these words was only one: Li Fenglan wanted to regain control of everything.
Li Fenglan often felt ridiculous. He was once the number one person in the world, and there was no opponent in the Three Realms. In his previous life, he had already stood at the pinnacle of the cultivation world, but as Li Fuyue, he was still played around by others.
The feeling of losing his soul and scattering his spirit in the previous life, even the memories of his 17-year-old life in the mortal world, came to his mind. But in such a situation, he became even calmer.
Li Fenglan slowly held Finished Karma in his hand, and the long sword emitted a bright white light, illuminating his face.
The golden calamity thunder behind him still showed no signs of stopping.
Lowering his gaze for a moment, Li Fenglan suddenly said to Mo Shenyu, “You always look down on people, thinking that those who seek immortality and enlightenment are all fools. You say you want to be a mortal, but in reality, you scorn all living beings.”
Every sentence that Li Fenglan spoke hit Mo Shenyu’s heart directly.
At this moment, Mo Shenyu was still stuck in place, trying to mobilize his spiritual power while being trapped by Split Karma and the ink lotus.
The ruins of Xieguang Tower suddenly became quiet, and many cultivators stood with their swords drawn, but they dared not move from their positions.
Now, the golden thunder in the sky was becoming more and more intense, and no one knew what the relationship was between the thunder and Mo Shenyu. Although they had drawn their swords, no one dared to attack Mo Shenyu.
On the contrary, some people looked at Li Fenglan with fear, as if he was a more dangerous person than Mo Shenyu.
“You, Li Fuyue, have come to Tianmian Palace again and have been hiding for so long, what exactly are you up to?!” A white-haired cultivator pointed his sword at Li Fenglan.
It had been a long time since anyone had called out the name “Li Fuyue” in public. Li Fenglan was momentarily stunned when he heard it, but he slowly turned around to look at the person. Although he couldn’t remember his name, he knew who he was. He was a major pursuer in his past life to kill him.
He didn’t expect that even after a thousand years, he still hated him so much.
If the person standing here was Li Fuyue from his past life, he might have patiently explained things to him. But when he heard his words now, Li Fenglan only remembered what Ling Buyan had said: “If people say that I am a disaster to the world, then I might as well become a disaster to the world to show them.”
“What are you up to?” Li Fenglan smiled and slowly raised his sword with one hand. His movements were very slow, and a gentle breeze lifted his hair and clothes. Although he looked like an immortal, in the eyes of others, he seemed like a demon.
Just as Li Fenglan was about to do something, Ling Buyan, who was standing next to him, suddenly took a step forward and reached out to stop him.
“Fenglan,” he called Li Fenglan’s name gently, his tone incredibly tender.
It was truly amazing that just a moment ago, Li Fenglan had already harbored murderous intent towards the cultivator who had been pursuing him in his previous life, as well as towards Mo Shenyu. But now, with Ling Buyan gently calling his name, Li Fenglan suddenly calmed down.
In Li Fenglan’s mind, Ling Buyan was somewhat similar to Mo Shenyu in that they both didn’t “care” about the opinions of the world and were accustomed to being above many cultivators.
But now, what Ling Buyan did exceeded Li Fenglan’s imagination.
Ling Buyan gave Mo Shenyu a cold glance, then turned to comfort Li Fenglan and gently patted his shoulder.
Then, he suddenly turned around and said to the cultivators standing by the ruins of Xieguang Tower, “Everyone, I have something to say about Fenglan today.”
At these words, Li Fenglan couldn’t help but be surprised and looked at Ling Buyan.
Not only him, but even Cheng Huang was the same.
Ling Buyan was going to say something about Li Fenglan?
“When the Heavenly Dao had that thought, it led me into endless purgatory. Although it successfully obtained my cultivation, it was almost injured by me…so when it found the second person, Fenglan, it used a different method.” Ling Buyan said these words without any special fluctuations in his tone.
But Li Fenglan knew that as a true heavenly pride, “failure” was not an easy topic. In fact, if it weren’t for him, Ling Buyan himself wouldn’t have had to face this topic, or recall the days of endless purgatory…
But he still said it.
Upon hearing this, Mo Shenyu, who was trapped in place, slowly lowered his head.
Ling Buyan’s words afterwards unraveled Li Fenglan’s doubts-
After the experience, the Heavenly Dao knew that it couldn’t let the target fly up to ascend peacefully anymore. It planned to absorb the other party’s power when Li Fuyue’s soul scattered.
But it was afraid of being discovered by the Heavenly Dao and erased, so the thought that was seduced by the mundane world chose to slightly manipulate Li Fuyue…
“This is what caused Li Fuyue to fall into demonic possession.
This small movement would not be noticed by the heavens.
And as long as Li Fuyue fell into demonic possession, the cultivators in this world will kill him without it having to act.
Although the thought of the heavens was not human, and at that time, other than being desire, it did not have any emotions or desires, after silently observing the world for countless years, it knew human nature the best.
It knew that Li Fuyue was too powerful. Such power is both admired by the world and feared by them.
As long as there is a hint of danger and uncertainty in Li Fuyue, those cultivators will immediately turn against him and choose to stand on the opposite side.
Mo Shenyu’s plan succeeded, but to be precise, only half succeeded.
Li Fuyue did die because of suspicion, greed, and betrayal, but Ling Buyan broke Mo Shenyu’s carefully laid plans at the last moment.
Just as Ling Buyan laughed and calmly said, “Unfortunately, I didn’t die in endless purgatory. That consciousness thought it had enough power to replace me and entered the world as ‘Mo Shenyu,’ but the soul and power of Fenglan did not merge into the heavens as you wished. Instead, I collected them.”
At this moment, Mo Shenyu finally looked up and, gritting his teeth, giving his conclusion.
“So in fact, the heavens have been incomplete for a thousand years,” he muttered, “no wonder I was discovered by the heavens so quickly…”
Unexpectedly, Ling Buyan shook his head at this time and smiled at Mo Shenyu. “Who told you that the heavens is incomplete?”
“What did you say?!”
Before Ling Buyan could answer, suddenly, Cheng Huang grew several times larger and became like a small mountain. The huge ferocious beast roared at Mo Shenyu. Blue flames erupted from its feet, and the next moment, Cheng Huang roared and pounced towards Mo Shenyu, biting at him.
