Chapter 1321: The Mystery of the Dharma Transmission
It is indeed the secret treasury of Xuan Shang Immortal Boat that has been passed down since ancient times. There are indeed many good things in Baiwen Immortal Record.
As the only surviving place in the Darkest Star Sea, the Xuanhuang Realm can be said to have accumulated the essence of the entire Star Sea. And Li Fan has been reincarnated for hundreds of lives, and it can be said that he has turned the Xuanhuang world upside down. It is naturally extremely difficult for him to detect ordinary secret treasures.
But while walking here, Li Fan still saw many objects that interested him.
For example: a crane that looks like it is made of bronze. According to the information in Baiwenxianlu, this bronze crane was actually cast from many fragments of immortal artifacts. Although it does not have magical powers, it is extremely hard due to its own material. All kinds of magical powers and spells cannot damage it in the slightest. Not to mention its immortality, at least the disaster that destroyed the Darkest Sea of Stars failed to cause any damage to it.
"Subject to the limitations of ordinary materials, the Tianyang Immortal Puppet refined in previous lives, even though it has the essence of source power, still cannot break through the mortal limit. Being able to delay the transmission of the law for a period of time is already a sign of Tianyang's strong will to fight. But, if it is mixed with this substance during the smelting process..." Li Fan's thoughts flashed through.
Another example: a colorful stream of light. It looks very similar to the [Colorful Jade Luster] caught by Zhong Shentong in the fishing pond. However, the seven-color jade gilded light was collected and refined by the monks with great supernatural powers who collected and refined the seven gilded lights from the Chongyan Cultivation World to illuminate the world. It is the evolution of the way of heaven and contains the origin of the world. And this stream of light in Baiwenxianlu is the remnant of an unknown world of immortality after the natural end of the world. It can be regarded as the corpse of the immortal world.
Li Fan once personally practiced the colorful jade and gilded it. In his perception, although these two kinds of colorful gilding are not the same in nature, they are vaguely related.
"Perhaps it involves the evolution of the world from death to life..." Li Fan, who had already taken the fishing pond as his own in this life, naturally came up with the idea of gathering two kinds of colorful lights and making a detailed comparison.
Another example: a figurine standing with bare hands and drooped eyelids. The Xuan Shang Immortal Boat was unexpectedly obtained, but no matter how much research was done, its function could not be clarified. Then it was placed in the secret vault and slowly forgotten by the world. When Li Fan passed by this figurine, he clearly noticed the slightest movement from [Huan Zhen]. Although it is not as exciting as meeting Eternal Remembrance, it can arouse a "real" reaction, which is enough to show how extraordinary this figurine is.
"It should also be related to [Projection of Tao]." Li Fan remained calm, his eyes not lingering on the figurines.
…
Li Fan patiently selected from the Immortal Boat Secret Treasury, and he was always accompanied by three Immortal Boat elders.
They didn't bother him, they just kept silent and watched Li Fan's every move.
"It seems that the thieves back then really caused heavy losses to the Immortal Boat. Even with the heavy insurance of [Broken Immortal Arm], fellow Taoists are still worried." Li Fan suddenly stopped and joked.
Gan Jingda, Nangong Lie, and Lu Yu looked at their noses and hearts, pretending not to hear.
"I wonder what the fairy boat lost back then?" Li Fan asked casually as he continued to search for treasures.
"Hmph..." Elder Xianzhou had a look of resentment on his face when he heard this.
Zhong Daogong's voice came from afar: "It's hard to look back on the past. But after all, it has been so many years. If fellow Taoist is interested, it doesn't hurt to tell you."
"Among the treasures that were lost in the fairy boat back then, the most precious one was an [Ice Crystal Immortal Amber]." Zhong Daogong's tone was somewhat nostalgic.
Jian Daosheng, the chief of Duanxian Tower, seemed to be an eyewitness to the incident that year. He suddenly sighed: "Even now, the dreamy and blurry appearance of [Ice Crystal Amber] still appears in my mind from time to time. I only regret that I couldn't be tougher and stop it. It led to a tragedy."
The other elders also sighed.
Li Fan asked curiously: "Ice crystal fairy amber? The name sounds very beautiful. But what exactly is this thing?"
Zhong Daogong: "Ice Crystal Immortal Amber is actually a frozen world of immortality. The origin of this object also involves an extremely rare celestial phenomenon in the sea of stars in ancient times."
The curiosity on Li Fan's face became more intense, and he humbly asked for advice: "I would like to hear the details."
"The Star Sea at that time was not as dead and silent as it is now. In addition to countless immortal worlds full of vitality and different scenes, there were also many strange phenomena in the Star Sea that appeared from time to time."
"The whale leaps in the sky, the star horse rushes, the yin and yang vortex..."
"When these strange phenomena erupt, they often cover an entire star field and affect dozens of immortal worlds. Some simply show strange scenes on the world's sky, while others will cause catastrophic disasters to the immortal world!"
"[Brilliant Crystal Wind] is one of them."
"I don't know where the wind of ice comes from, and it comes suddenly. It blows from the starry sky to the earth. Wherever the cold wind passes, those who transform into gods, join the way, and live forever have no time to react and are frozen in an instant. All living things in the world, and even the world itself, were blown by the crystal wind and turned into an ice sculpture." Zhong Daogong tapped his finger, and the terrifying scene of the cold wind and ice world appeared above the Immortal Boat Secret Storehouse.
"The world of immortality has been frozen in ice, and has stayed lonely in the sea of stars since then. The day of thawing will never come. Any creature that tries to get close will also be affected by the absolute cold air, and will either be severely injured and escape, or will also be transformed into eternity. Ice sculpture.”
Li Fan looked at the picture above and frowned slightly: "I understand the meaning of this ice crystal. But, what is the meaning of the word [Xianbo]?"
However, Daosheng explained Li Fan's doubts: "If it is just a frozen world, Xuan Shang Immortal Boat will not be regarded as a treasure. In fact, although the probability of [Brilliant Wind] happening is small, it is With the vastness of the sea of stars and the accumulation of tens of millions of years..."
"The number of existing ice sculptures in the world is not particularly small."
"The reason why the piece that Xianzhou collected back then is so valuable is because there is a very special existence in the frozen world of immortality." Seeing Daosheng's tone in a daze, he seemed to have returned to the past.
"[The Wind of Brilliant Crystals] blew down from the starry sky. The world should have turned into an ice sculpture in an instant. However, an illusory figure appeared in that world, trying to block the wind of ice..."
"However, how can ordinary monks stop the star sea phenomenon? It is said that when the star sea phenomenon broke out most violently, even the true immortals had to retreat. Not to mention us ordinary monks."
"So the result is obvious. The act of saving the world is nothing more than a mantis trying to beat a chariot and destroying himself. But after all, it has been blocked so little... The world is no longer frozen in an instant, but gives the creatures in it a split second to react."
Jian Daosheng sighed with emotion: "It is this momentary change that creates a completely unique ice sculpture. In the face of a world-destroying disaster, creatures have different expressions. There are those who are frightened and those who are desperate, and there are those who see that figure and their hearts. Those who are hopeful and those who are in disbelief...it truly explains what it means to be a living being with various forms."
"If it's just this, it will be just a rare frozen world at best. It won't allow our fairy boat to obtain the word [immortal amber] for it."
Jian Daosheng continued: "The reason why it is named [Immortal] is because of the illusory figure trying to block the [Brilliant Crystal Wind]."
When Li Fan heard this, he couldn't help but guess: "Is it possible that there really is a true immortal sealed in that frozen world?"
Seeing Daosheng shaking his head: "That's not true. If there is a true immortal sealed away, our immortal boat may not dare to leave it on board. However, in terms of value alone, that figure may be more precious than the true immortal . After all, before the path to immortality was cut off, there were people from all walks of life who ascended to immortality."
"And the [Inner Demon] that has materialized is truly unprecedented and rare in history!"
When Li Fan heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Inner demon? Realized?"
When he possessed Zhao Xian and practiced in his previous life, Li Fan had already tasted the process of being disturbed by the demon in the center of the star sea. As long as you continue to practice, your inner demons will accompany you throughout your entire practice life. Even if it is forcibly suppressed with the help of external forces, it will come back soon and become more and more violent. In his previous life, Zhao Xian was unable to get rid of the interference of his inner demons, which affected his advancement in realm. Only then would the impatient Li Fan directly use the Tao Dan technique to seize his body.
This is still the inner demon caused by the broken Star Sea Law.
Even if it is reduced several times, it can still have such a great impact on the monks' practice. One can imagine how terrifying the inner demons will be when the laws of the ancient star sea are intact.
No wonder the ancient monks were so talkative and lustful that everyone avoided them.
However, what Li Fan experienced through Zhao Xian's body were just various illusions bursting out of his heart. The real source of the hallucination was not seen.
"The inner demon should be some kind of law. It actually has an entity?" Li Fan looked amazed and unbelievable.
"This is the reason why I cherish the [Ice Crystal Immortal Amber] so much. If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, no one can imagine that such a strange thing exists in this world."
"After collecting this ice crystal fairy, Xianzhou went through decades of discussions. Finally, the identity of the inner demon of the shadow in the ice crystal world was determined. It is speculated that this inner demon is the inner magic of another world of immortality. It is derived from it. I just don’t know why it left its original world and suffered an unreasonable disaster.”
Zhong Daogong suddenly said again: "In fact, Xianzhou has made reasonable guesses about this. The inner demon is invisible and formless, not bound by space, and can travel through the sea of stars at will. There is no physical form, and it can even appear directly in the hearts of monks. There are many monks who are affected by inner demons and become confused, as if they have changed. The invasion of inner demons can be regarded as the most superior form of body-seizing."
"Although this embodied inner demon is very special, it still can't get rid of the characteristics of the inner demon itself. It is his instinct to travel through the star sea and find a suitable host to live on. Perhaps this is the reason why he appeared in that frozen world. ”
"Even with the intensity of power it showed when the world was frozen, it's not just the monks. Even the world's consciousness of heaven, this embodied inner demon has the power to erode it."
"To confuse the heavenly ways of other worlds and replace them. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call them [Heavenly Demons]."
…
Zhong Daogong talked eloquently, and his words contained regret for losing the treasure.
Li Fan's heart moved slightly.
The image of the body of the Immortal Array gradually dissolving under the annihilating storm of the Immortal Formation in the previous life appeared in his mind, revealing the transparent figure inside.
The moment Li Fan saw this transparent figure, a faint sense of familiarity surged into his heart.
It's not that Li Fan has ever seen this transparent figure before.
Instead, I have come into contact with the aura of the "same kind" of the transparent figure.
The sense of familiarity comes from Tianjue, Tianyu, Tianyin, and Tianyi.
Or...
From the heavenly realm.
"Demon..."
Li Fan may know the reason why Chuanfa sneaked into this place back then.
"The Heavenly Demon is also a member of the Heavenly Dharma Realm's Venerables?"
"The venerable ones from the Heavenly Dharma Realm hold the Tao on behalf of Heaven. And the Heavenly Demons are the manifestations of inner demons."
"However, due to its own characteristics, the demon wanders in the sea of stars and is not in the world of heaven for many years. It is even unlucky and encounters an extremely rare phenomenon in the sea of stars, suffering the fate of being frozen forever."
"If Chuanfa had not rescued it later, it would probably be frozen forever and become a collection of the immortal boat."
"However, why did Chuanfa save the demon? And even later it was eroded by the demon?"
The figure of the doctor suddenly appeared in front of Li Fan.
Judging from the performance between the two in the previous life, Chuanfa was obviously under the control of the doctor.
Previously, Li Fan had guessed that Chuanfa was a clone refined by the doctor.
But now, the relationship between the two may not be so simple.
"Chuanfa, Xuanyuan Goudan. Maybe he is the reincarnation of Xuantian King..."
"In the first half of his life, he was a mortal. Suddenly he awakened, as if some consciousness came through and possessed him." Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.
…
"No matter what, now we finally know why the transmission of the law is controlled by the Heavenly Doctor. The [Heavenly Demon] in the depths of his soul is causing trouble."
Li Fan thought again that there is no such thing as the inner demon in the Xuanhuang Realm now.
Perhaps it is not just because of the new method of transmission of the law.
With the [Heavenly Demon], a materialized inner demon, there will naturally be no more small inner demons coming and interfering.
Thoughts were churning, and after listening to the stories of the elders of the Immortal Boat, Li Fan couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart: "So, it is indeed an extraordinary treasure. It was stolen just like this, which is really hateful."
"What does the thief look like? Is he still alive now?" Li Fan asked.
"If the information is sufficient, we in Daqi may be able to help track this thief."
Zhong Daogong raised his eyebrows and asked, "True immortal seal characters?"
Li Fan shook his head: "No. It is a fairy weapon that protects the world, and it combines the power of the formation. In short, it is so mysterious that I can't explain it in detail."
Although he was vague, the power of [Good Fortune] previously demonstrated has fully proved the heritage of [Daqi] civilization. So Li Fan's words did not arouse the suspicion of the immortal boat.
After all, Li Fan did not guarantee it, but just said "maybe".
The elders of the immortal boat discussed it, and in order not to arouse Li Fan's suspicion, they still showed the appearance of the thief back then.
It turned out to be the Dharma Transmission Heavenly Venerable.
However, the recorded images left by the immortal boat are slightly different from the Dharma Transmission seen in the previous life.
The expression is more vivid, like two people.
