Chapter 2304: Chapter 2304 - 1725: Suo-Net Split Metamorphosis

Li Fan’s expression was somewhat subtle, but he did not voice any refusal.

"My ability is far inferior to Daoist Taiwei. Coupled with the change in the rules of the Net, I’m afraid we might not last long."

Sea Return Saint said, "Since [Suo] is already exposed, it won’t be long before it will inevitably flee far away. What we need to do now is to delay as much as possible. Ensure the safety of the Path of Mountain Sea Living Beings before it departs."

Zhouhui Daoist said without worry, "Just go ahead. Even if you fail, we will quickly catch up." Guardian Hill said with a smile.

Li Fan cupped his hands in salute, and then sent out a thought, following the sensed Mountain and Sea Veins.

Upon entering, he understood why those like Theft Machine suffered such damage when traversing. The Mountain and Sea Veins, involving the foundation of the Mountain and Sea’s existence, are a secret among secrets. They inherently repulse all external entities.

He could only use the familiar thread of the [Mountain Sea Creatures] as a rope to retain some of his strength.

Although Li Fan was not as capable as the Taiwei Saint Emperor, who had the support of all the subjects of the Holy Dynasty to cross in nearly full strength,

Through the unity of heart and mind, he shared insights with Guardian Hill and Morality.

His performance was significantly better than that of Theft Machine and others.

With power approaching a Nameless True Immortal, he successfully descended into the Suo’s Net.

Just like the Taiwei Saint Emperor, Li Fan projected the scenery he experienced into the Xuanji Ring for the All Saints to observe.

"Daoist Zhouhui’s understanding is indeed extraordinary. The start looks promising; he should be able to stall Suo for a while," Saint Taiyi nodded slightly.

Secretly, Li Fan and the other two completed communication: "If it’s our turn to appear next, we need to hold back; otherwise, performing similarly might arouse suspicion."

As soon as Li Fan successfully arrived at the moment when Suo wove the Taichu Immortal Realm, he sensed the dense killing intent enveloping Heaven and Earth.

Years ago, during Foundation Establishment, he realized a technique of [Invisible Malice], using false Destiny. Naturally, he was very familiar with this malice in the world.

He merely frowned slightly, having already become accustomed to it.

With the prior lessons of the Taiwei Saint Emperor, Li Fan also began by dispersing his power, lowering his cultivation base to the level of a Mortal.

However, Taiwei had combined his dispersed cultivation and endless emperor experience to create an Immortal Legion.

Yet Li Fan...

He instead actively sent his cultivation to the monsters that slowly appeared around him and attacked!

Upon his arrival, he chose to aid the enemy.

"Hmm? What is Daoist Zhouhui doing?"

"To proactively give his cultivation to the enemy. As a Mortal, how can he survive the subsequent siege?"

Such anomalies naturally drew the attention of All Saints.

What happened next in the monster horde demonstrated why Li Fan acted this way.

The monsters that originally targeted Li Fan with a vow to kill him...

Because of the cultivation Li Fan gave, divisions arose.

Those who accepted Li Fan’s gifts instantly replaced him as the primary target of the monsters’ siege.

Even though Suo’s Net evolved, when their lives were threatened, they wouldn’t just sit idly by.

Thus, they started fighting each other.

After encountering the Taiwei Saint Emperor, Suo’s Net changed its rules. The strength of the first wave of monsters was determined based on Li Fan’s Realm at the moment of his arrival.

Even if Li Fan actively dispersed his cultivation, the monsters born around still maintained the corresponding level.

Only after Li Fan sent out this cultivation, instead of strengthening himself in any way, did the strength of the second wave of monsters start to decrease.

However, a critical issue arose because of this.

Among the first wave of attacking monsters, those who accepted Li Fan’s gifts and turned against Suo’s Net, still retained the power of a Nameless True Immortal.

Facing these new "kin" of theirs, they hesitated momentarily before lifting their butcher knives once again.

Completely unmatched in strength, they were soon slaughtered.

In the sky of Suo’s Net, it seemed to fall into another moment of stagnation.

As if another rule was rewritten at that moment.

Amidst the rare quiet moment due to rule changes.

Li Fan took the initiative to approach the monsters caught between him and Suo’s Net.

Accepting Li Fan’s foreign gift, though forced, meant they were destined not to be accepted by Suo’s Net.

They viewed Li Fan, their "benefactor," with vigilance as he approached.

However, perhaps due to the influence of his gift, they did not act rashly.

"Our lives are now intertwined; we must jointly overcome this tribulation."

"Though you were created by this world, receiving my creation bestows upon you the opportunity to break free from shackles. You are no longer akin to those past bloodthirsty monsters..."

Li Fan, unfazed by these once ignorant and unknowing monsters, explained all the causes and consequences calmly to them.

Like enlightening and expounding the Dao, the expressions on numerous monsters’ faces changed multiple times in a short span.

Some could not accept it, some were contemplative.

And there were those who were wholeheartedly convinced, seeing Li Fan as a revered mentor.

"May I ask, mentor, where lies our path ahead?"

Li Fan looked up to the sky and laughed, pointing out, "Join me in plotting against this Heaven!"

Before the monsters could fully understand Li Fan’s words, the third wave of monsters was already born.

With the rules changed again, those rebellious beings were considered part of Li Fan’s power.

Thus, the power of newly born monsters returned to the Realm of Nameless True Immortality.

"You can see that we are now one entity, prospering and suffering together."

"Obeying my command is your only path to survival."

"If I disappear, you will surely be purged."

The enlightened beings weren’t dull; from the current situation within Suo’s Net, they quickly realized Li Fan spoke the truth.

Even with an inexplicable oppressive feeling in their hearts, they could only temporarily ally against the common enemy.

They vented all their pent-up anger on the enemy.

But Suo’s Net evolved enemies also took into account the boost of morale and mindset.

This battle remained fiercely contested.

More than half of the newly allied enlightened beings were directly lost.

The only advantage for Li Fan was that for Suo’s Net, eliminating these traitors took precedence over killing him.

So, as long as the enlightened beings weren’t wiped out, Li Fan remained safe.

After a bloody battle, he hadn’t even engaged his muscles or bones.

He merely occasionally looked up to the sky, seemingly observing something.

Li Fan squinted his eyes, a cold sneer in his heart: "In a short span, it has changed several times."

"All changes must have observable patterns. Even the primordial beings of Mountain and Sea cannot escape this principle."

Li Fan intensely deduced in his heart.

The Taichu Immortal Realm’s scenery appeared as a curtain, suddenly retracting.

Revealing a tightly interwoven Great Net at its core.

"This Net, though woven by you, how can you know it can’t be used by me."

Li Fan slowly stretched out two fingers towards the sky.
