Chapter 230: Ancient Body Transformation Dao
🕑 Added 2024-01-04 20:34:01 +0000 UTCAccompanying the overwhelming sense of weakness was the intermittent memory belonging to Tian Yang himself.
Master is a good person.
Eldest Senior Brother is handsome and also a good person.
Second Senior Brother is a bit weird but also a good person.
Third Senior Brother is silent but is the best person.
...
What a mess.
Li Fan spent a long time sorting out the chaotic memories of Tian Yang.
He was picked up by his master from the wilderness and raised.
Since childhood, he was weak and sickly, needing to take medicine every day to maintain his health.
Fortunately, although the number of people in the sect was not large, all his senior brothers were exceptionally kind and doting.
...
Struggling to lift his head, Li Fan, now in the body of a five or six-year-old child, finally understood what was going on.
Children have simple minds.
And because Tian Yang's body was very weak, his activities were limited to the small mountain gate.
Furthermore, he spent most of his time in deep sleep.
It was normal for his memories to only involve people close to him.
"I don't even know the names of my master and senior brothers."
"As for the sect and the Ancient Body Transformation Dao..."
Li Fan, who had understood the general situation, was about to prop up his body to observe the surroundings.
A wave of fatigue suddenly surged to his heart.
"The little guy's physique is really weak to an absurd extent." This thought flashed through Li Fan's mind, and he fell into a deep sleep again.
In a daze, he didn't know how much time had passed.
Li Fan seemed to hear a series of urgent and continuous bell sounds.
He wanted to open his eyes but was unable to do so at all.
Once again, he fell into another deep sleep.
Next, Li Fan was awakened by the conversation coming from his ears.
"What nonsense is this Immortal Recruitment Order? Why bother with it! Those major sects' members number in the thousands, and sending a few people is no big deal."
"However, we only have so few people studying the Ancient Body Transformation Dao. Why should we go to the front line? What kind of logic is this?"
It sounded like Second Senior Brother. He had a strange temperament and a straightforward character, always saying whatever he wanted.
"Nonsense! The Immortal Recruitment Order jointly issued by the top ten immortal sects can't be ignored just because you say so! Haven't you heard that the nearby Starfire Dao was wiped out because they refused to obey orders?!"
"To be honest, the Starfire Dao is much stronger than our Ancient Body Transformation Dao."
"This brat doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, talking nonsense all the time!"
"In the past, we could afford to ignore such matters. But times have changed, Ling Xiao. You must be cautious in your words and deeds, lest you bring trouble to the sect!"
The old voice sounded somewhat helpless, reprimanding in a deep voice.
It was the same as the one who fed him medicine earlier: it was the sect master, the leader of the Ancient Body Transformation Dao.
Second Senior Brother, Ling Xiao, remained silent.
An awkward silence filled the room.
A cynical voice broke the silence.
"I'll go. After all, I'm the eldest senior brother."
"Just as well, let those barbarians see how sharp my sword is."
"Si Xing..." The master sighed, patting the shoulder of the eldest senior brother.
Eldest Senior Brother walked to the bedside, seemingly examining Tian Yang, who was possessed by Li Fan.
After a long time, he spoke, "Ah, it's a pity that I can't wait for Junior Brother to wake up and bid him farewell."
Li Fan felt a stir in his heart and was about to open his eyes to speak when he suddenly felt a wave of fatigue sweeping over his body again.
Unable to resist, he fell into a drowsy sleep once more.
After an unknown period, Li Fan woke up again.
This time, his spirit was much better, and he could at least get out of bed and move around with some effort.
"Master! Master!" Li Fan called out softly.
Silence surrounded him, and no one was in sight.
"Junior Brother Tian Yang, are you awake?" A man in white rushed over upon hearing the voice.
He had disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes.
"Second Senior Brother, what happened to you?"
"Where are Master, Eldest Senior Brother, and Third Senior Brother? Why can't I see them?" Li Fan couldn't help asking.
Ling Xiao forced a smile, "Don't worry, they're all discussing matters in the main hall."
"Look, this is the puppet I promised to give you. I went through a lot of trouble to exchange it with someone else." He took out a small humanoid puppet and handed it over.
Li Fan took the puppet, carefully observed it, and found that its shape and appearance were quite similar to the Tian Yang Puppet seen in the future.
"With this puppet, if you're tired and can't walk, you can let it carry you everywhere. You won't have to ride on Eldest Senior Brother every time..." Ling Xiao said, gradually lowering his voice.
Li Fan looked up and saw that Second Senior Brother's eyes had turned red.
"Second Senior Brother..."
"Hehe, it's okay. You play with the puppet here for a while. I have to discuss matters with Master and the others." Saying this, Ling Xiao patted Li Fan's head and turned away.
After a while, Li Fan quietly followed.
However, the door to the main hall was tightly closed, and it seemed to be protected by restrictions, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.
Helpless, Li Fan decided to explore other places within the sect.
Suddenly, he thought of something. Li Fan manipulated Tian Yang's young body and struggled to reach the sect's ancestral hall.
Using all his strength, Li Fan finally pushed open the heavy door.
In the spirit tablets at the bottom, Li Fan found the one belonging to Eldest Senior Brother, Si Xing.
After contemplating for a moment, Li Fan paid his respects, slowly withdrew, and closed the door again.
He wanted to go elsewhere, but the feeling of exhaustion in his body struck again.
As if he had been starving for several days and nights, Li Fan's whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Tian Yang's body seems to have some hidden ailment, it's not just an ordinary weakness."
Even walking became a problem. With a determined heart, Li Fan tried to control the small puppet in his hand.
In an instant, the originally toy-sized puppet turned into the size of an adult.
Under Li Fan's command, the puppet lifted him back to the room.
"This puppet seems to be just a little stronger than an ordinary person, and doesn't have any cultivation."
Lying on the bed, Li Fan thought about this, and then he couldn't hold on any longer, slowly falling asleep again.
After a while, Li Fan was awakened by a thunderous sound.
"Esteemed envoy, please spare our Ancient Body Transformation Dao."
"Including me, the Ancient Body Transformation Dao only has five people in total."
"In just a few years, two of my disciples have tragically died on the front lines."
"If this continues, before the enemy arrives, the heritage of my Ancient Body Transformation Dao will be severed!"
The master's desolate voice continued to narrate.
But the other party seemed completely indifferent, "Don't complain to me. I've seen sects far worse off than yours, so what?"
"Within seven days, you must send another person to join."
"Otherwise..."
"Whether one dies or all of you die, you choose!"
