Seeing the abnormality of the You clan people in front of him, Li Fan remained calm. Ignoring their extreme fear, he forced them to complete their oath of membership in front of the faceless immortal stone statue.
Then when they finally calmed down, Li Fan asked why they were so scared.
The leader of the You tribe trembled, and after a long time, he was able to explain: "We have not been lucky enough to see the True Immortal Stone Statue before. But the moment we saw it, our tribe instinctively felt boundless fear.
"
"We live in darkness all year round, and our bodies have adapted to the special environment there. Under normal sunlight, we can barely hold on for a while, but in front of the True Immortal Stone Statue..."
"It's like in the darkness, a light source thousands of times brighter than the sun in the sky suddenly appears."
The leader of the You clan spoke intermittently, but Li Fan also understood what he meant.
Just like mortals who feel fear when facing the abyss, the You clan people also felt extreme fear when they saw the faceless immortal stone statue because of the fatal threat.
But the True Immortal's Net is invisible and formless. Even Li Fan, if he were not the agent of the Faceless True Immortal in the Xuanhuang Realm, would probably not be aware of its existence.
On the other hand, this group of You clan members, even the newly born children, all feel the power of the true immortal without exception.
"It seems that it has something to do with the dark power they control."
Next, Li Fan learned from the leaders of the You clan about their understanding of darkness.
The You people are actually humans originally.
According to the ancient legends spread by their ethnic group, in ancient times, the world they lived in still had blue skies, white clouds, and bright sunshine.
But suddenly one day, after the sun set, it never rose again.
People begged desperately in the darkness, but no miracle came.
The vast majority of people have since disappeared into the darkness forever.
And those who survived, without exception, were all favored by the power of darkness.
Under the erosion and transformation of the dark power, their bodies also slowly changed.
It turned into a terrifying appearance without a head and its facial features were squeezed into the chest.
In fact, the You clan people do not understand the nature of the power of darkness. They only regard it as the only straw to save their lives and worship and pray to the terrifying evil god who brings destruction to the normal world.
And this dark power seemed to be able to understand their words. It would actually respond and be used by them.
The You people do not think that they have mastered the power of darkness, but that it is a gift from the great God of Darkness.
…
What the leader of the You clan said was different from the introduction given by the preacher Zhou.
The You people are obviously the aborigines of the Nether Realm, but the preacher Zhou said that they are just a special group that discovered the power of the Nether Realm and made use of it.
There should be no need for Dharma preacher Zhou to deceive himself about such a trivial matter.
"It seems that the process of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance discovering the Nether World is not as simple as what he said."
A cold light flashed in Li Fan's eyes.
Next, he thought about the manifestation of this dark power.
“Pray and wait for a response?”
"No wonder the passage to the entrance to the underworld is also opened through a singing and dancing ceremony."
Li Fan's eyes flashed.
Li Fan is no stranger to the power of this nature that responds to the monk's inner touch.
The essence of golden source power is the remnant of power abandoned by the True Immortal in the process of pursuing the root of Tao. It is an existence called the Flower of Tao.
"Being able to sense each other, there may be some connection between the two."
According to the introduction of the leader of the You clan, although the power of darkness only appears concretely in their hometown, it is actually everywhere in the entire Xuanhuang Realm. However, it is not concretely condensed and difficult for ordinary people to detect. However, if you pray and call through special methods, you can cross it.
The barrier between small worlds calls upon its power.
Under the witness of Li Fan, the leader of the You tribe looked pious and muttered something.
He launched an attack towards a ferocious beast like a liger in front of him.
This liger beast is a new breed that was recently cultivated by the empire. Its body is as hard as steel. Even a full blow from an ordinary foundation-building monk will not be able to damage it at all.
But an extremely strange scene happened.
Without any warning, the originally majestic liger suddenly became limp and fell to the ground.
His eyes were filled with fear, and he tried to struggle helplessly to get up.
But underneath it, it was like there was an invisible quagmire. There were countless hands in the quagmire, constantly pulling at it.
Under Li Fan's gaze, the liger was slowly swallowed up by the darkness.
No bones remain.
From beginning to end, Li Fan never "saw" the existence of darkness.
But the liger did disappear under his nose.
Li Fan carefully checked the ground where darkness fell, and there was no power left.
"It comes and goes without a trace. It's impossible to guard against it." Li Fan touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
The group of You clan members closed their eyes and prayed devoutly together again.
"It seems that only they can respond to the darkness through this kind of prayer. Ordinary humans, no matter how similar they look, cannot activate the power of darkness."
"It's easy to understand. Only by joining our Federation of Ten Thousand Realms, passing the oath of the True Immortal Statue, and joining the True Immortal Network can his prayers be sensed by me. Come to think of it, the power of darkness also has such an invisible
net.”
Li Fan thought to himself: "So the key is how to join this network without being swallowed by the darkness."
In the nether world, the strange appearance of Mo Rubin's body is still vivid in his mind. Just his physical body came into contact with it, and it ended up like this. It is hard to imagine that his body and soul were all thrown into the darkness and could survive.
Next, Li Fan ordered his dead men to try to imitate the attempt to communicate with the darkness, which also proved his suspicion.
Silent and swallowed by the darkness. No one can be seen in life, no corpse in death.
In a short period of time, the power of darkness was frequently activated. Some subtle changes seemed to have occurred.
As the master of the Spiritual Wood Realm, Li Fan faintly felt that the whole world darkened for a moment.
After confirming with the leader of the You clan, Li Fan knew that this was not his illusion.
But the darkness does have a tendency to flow here.
Li Fan decisively stopped the experiment temporarily.
After asking various people in the You clan for a long time, Li Fan finally got a rough idea of the current situation of the dark power in the Xuanhuang Realm.
It's like a dark ocean gathering on the "backside" of Xuanhuang.
Although the location is fixed by some mysterious power, the all-pervasive nature of the darkness itself causes them to sometimes invade Xuanhuang and other small worlds along any possible "gap".
Invade and eventually return to the nether world.
The cycle goes back and forth, forming an existence similar to a "tide".
