The scene of Elder Li Fan's contact with the ancient characters was different from that of the Elders of the Immortal Boat.
Ou Shangtian's already youthful body did not exhibit any backtracking phenomenon. Inside his body, the hidden [Kun-Qian Skeletal Hand] emitted subtle, barely perceptible tremors, absorbing and assimilating the power of the ancient characters.
Li Fan did not know whether "absorbing and assimilating" was an appropriate way to describe this process. In his perception, the ancient characters and the Kun-Qian Skeletal Hand seemed to resonate with each other.
Consequently, the power of the True Immortal Seal Character, which was supposed to act upon Ou Shangtian's body, was all drawn into the wondrous object that was the [Kun-Qian Skeletal Hand].
Another wondrous object inside Ou Shangtian's body, the [Book of Thousand Deaths], showed no activity whatsoever.
Stirred by the power of [Ancient], the Kun-Qian Skeletal Hand underwent subtle transformations.
