Chapter 1371: Immortal Chess Fusion
"The first generation of Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Venerable was not an immortal who descended to the mortal world..."
"But an immortal who became a mortal?"
Instantly, Li Fan's mind was shocked.
Immortals descended to the mortal world, immortals became mortals. These two seem to be similar, but in fact there is an essential difference.
When an immortal descends to the mortal world, he is still a true immortal. However, his power is limited by the limit that the lower world can bear.
Once he becomes a mortal, then...
Immortals are no longer immortals!
Becoming a true immortal is the dream of all mortal cultivators. However, in the ancient Xuanhuang world, there was such a true immortal who chose to degenerate and be exiled to the mortal world.
"Dao Yan Zhi Jie!" This name flashed through Li Fan's mind.
In addition to avoiding the terrible disaster that later destroyed the immortal world, Li Fan could not think of any other reason for doing so.
"When the first generation of Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Venerable became a mortal, there should still be quite a long time before the great catastrophe of the immortal world."
"Such foresight, such courage!"
"This is a true immortal descending to the mortal world!"
Li Fan couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
But Li Fan suddenly changed his mind and thought: "However, it cannot be ruled out that he was forced to do so. After all, from the previous true immortal's memory, we can know that the immortal world also has a strict hierarchy."
"If it was just to avoid the catastrophe of Daoyan, theoretically speaking, he would never serve as Xuanhuang Heavenly Venerable again."
"Obviously, the first generation came to cooperate with the immortal world to achieve a certain plan."
"And Xuanhuang Realm is one of the testing grounds."
Thinking of the indefinite ring and the nine-star red bead in the immortal formation that he had seen before, as well as the countless frozen corpses controlled by the monitor.
Li Fan vaguely connected everything together.
"It is even possible that the purpose of the immortal world to create Xuanhuang as an experimental field is not just for refuge."
"They also tried to explore and find a way to solve the Daoyan Disaster."
"But judging from the final result now, they failed."
"The Daoyan Disaster raged and spread in the immortal world at a faster speed than expected. Countless true immortals fell in it."
"But the lower world Xuanhuang has always been safe and sound. This has shaken the will of some immortals to fight against disasters."
"So there was the later Immortal Domain Fragment Plan..."
After squinting his eyes and thinking for a while, a bigger question appeared in Li Fan's mind.
"Is the first generation Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Venerable really dead?"
The remains of the true immortals have been circulated and controlled by the successive generations of Xuanhuang Heavenly Venerables.
What about the first generation himself?
There is a difference between ordinary people and ordinary people. Since the first generation can leave behind blood, it should have completely turned into a mortal body.
Could such a person also disappear in the long river of history because of the end of his lifespan like countless mortals?
Or has he changed his identity, kept a low profile, and is quietly observing everything in the dark?
"Now it seems that the close connection between Xuanhuang Realm and Immortal Realm is definitely related to this first generation of Tianzun. The True Immortal who was demoted and exiled, as a bridge for communication between immortals and mortals, secretly monitors everything that happens in Xuanhuang Realm."
"And this True Immortal is also controlled by the Immortal Realm, and perhaps he is dissatisfied and fakes his death to escape."
"The second Xuanhuang Tianzun is no longer an immortal who has become a mortal, but a creature selected from Xuanhuang Realm..."
"Either, the cost of immortals becoming mortals is too high and unsustainable. Or even in the Immortal Realm, the Xuanhuang Realm plan is top secret, and not many True Immortals can participate in it. It is really hard to find a mortal."
"Or, both."
Recalling the mysterious character he saw in the blood of the You Clan before, Li Fan thought: "If an immortal wants to become a mortal, it is definitely not as simple as demoting."
"This also involves [Transformation of Immortals and Mortals]."
"That is a stronger force than [Good Fortune]..."
Thoughts are flying.
Li Fan restored the possible truth about the fairy world and Xuanhuang in an instant.
Most of them were inferred from the common points between the first generation of Great Heavenly Venerable and Xing Wuque that Li Fan grasped in an instant. But it can correspond to the clues found before, which is very telling.
"The exiled immortal who has been hiding in secret..."
"But in the last life, the high wall collapsed and the star sea was turbulent, but there was still no trace."
"It seems that at this time point, even the exiled immortal does not exist in the Darkest Star Sea."
"Of course, it may not have fallen. It is very likely that it has jumped out of the high wall!"
As the base camp where Li Fan is currently active, the Darkest Star Sea is relatively safe from the surface. This makes Li Fan feel a little relieved.
"The You people, since they are the blood of the first generation of Great Heavenly Venerable."
"Then I wonder if I can stimulate the blood connection between them through the [Manifest] word formula, so as to track down the exiled immortal?"
A dangerous idea suddenly appeared in Li Fan's mind.
But soon, he suppressed it by force.
"Now, there is no need to do this meaningless thing. Maybe in the future, when we have the strength to start exploring outside the high wall, we can consider this matter."
From many clues and fragments, we can see the tip of the iceberg of the former fairyland.
While making Li Fan more curious about the fairyland, he also became extremely wary of the fairyland fragments that have been collected but not assembled.
"If there were real immortals in the past, they regarded the lower world as a hotbed to avoid disasters. Then this dismantled and sealed fairyland is very likely to become their hiding place..."
Li Fan pondered in his heart, hesitating whether to use the fragments of the Immortal Realm left by Sun Miaomiao.
After thinking for a long time, I finally made up my mind and suppressed my hesitation.
"With such a blind box, sooner or later it will be opened."
“It’s better to open early than to open late.”
"Having mastered the method of downgrading the Immortal Formation, and having many Immortal Formations in hand, even if something unexpected happens, I can ensure that I can activate it calmly."
"Besides, there is another place in the Star Sea where we can attack immortals..."
A bright light flashed in Li Fan's eyes.
He summoned Liu Ruchen and other descendants of Medicine King Zong Sun Piaomiao to carry all the fragments of the Immortal Realm with them.
Shrouded in the shadow of the wooden sword, they were carried to the center of the star sea.
The shadows solidify, creating a daytime blue sky and an ordinary world scene.
The Yaowang Sect and others were not made aware of their own situation.
Only Li Fan could see the frightening boundless black energy not far away.
"The spread is faster than expected."
"Moreover, outside this black air area..."
Li Fan observed it for a while, comparing it with what he had seen before, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
I have seen the harbinger of Taoist catastrophe here more than once before, but it was very far away. It was only when I "witnessed" the black energy that I felt a sense of crisis in my heart.
But now, even if you look away and don't look directly at the boundless black energy.
Li Fan still had a terrifying premonition in his heart, which surfaced like a tide.
The sense of crisis lingers, and the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Curse cannot dispel it.
Even the longer you stay, the stronger your accumulation becomes.
Suppressing the instinct to escape, Li Fan savored this specific feeling.
"It's like a dangerous wall is collapsing, a building is about to collapse, and I am under a dangerous wall or building..."
Under the intense crisis, Li Fan retreated instead of advancing.
The shadow of the wooden sword almost reached the edge of the sea of black energy that was constantly churning and expanding.
"Let's get started." Li Fan said calmly to Liu Ruchen and others in the shadow of the wooden sword.
I don't know anything about my situation. Everyone in the Yaowang Sect just looked at the ball of light floating in front of them, with confused expressions.
Amid the golden chains, one colorful chess piece, one white chess piece, and six gray chess pieces stood out.
"This is the fragment of the immortal world left by our ancestors!"
About to unravel the secrets of the ancient immortal world left by Sun Miaomiao, everyone in the Yaowang Sect started to fuse the fragments of the immortal realm with excitement under Li Fan's instructions.
Led by the immortal green power of Liu Ruchen's [Eternal Life Sutra], he first fused the six gray chess pieces that were sealed respectively.
The process went surprisingly smoothly.
Just like the result of Li Fan's previous manipulation of fusion, the six gray pieces merged into a colorful chess piece that was a circle larger.
Now, there are only two six-in-one seven-color chess pieces left in the field, and the most critical one, a white chess piece made from the Medicine King Cauldron.
The white chess piece seemed to be inspired by the other two fused chess pieces, with colorful lights reverberating around its edges.
Although it is smaller than the colorful chess pieces, it has the same core.
The golden chains that bound him were shaky. Will be broken free at any time.
Li Fan retreated violently and released the seal at the same time.
The eyes of Yaowang Zong and others were full of fanaticism, and they controlled two colorful chess pieces and escorted them to the white chess piece.
In an instant, the circle of light at the edge of the white chess piece suddenly expanded outward.
Swallow two colorful chess pieces.
There was only the last chess piece left in the field.
Buzz…
Ruoyouruowuo's low roar began to emit from the chess piece.
Through the layers of immortal formations, Li Fan carefully observed this new chess piece.
Somewhat strangely, the annexation of all the pieces has been completed. But the imaginary fairyland did not directly manifest.
But Li Fan was very sure that the integration was successful.
Because he felt that the "weight" of the fairyland not far away was constantly increasing.
The shadow of the wooden sword and the shrouding immortal formation are all in danger.
Under the influence of the Immortal Realm, it may break apart at any time.
Just when Li Fan planned to instill power again, at least to maintain it until the real fairyland appeared.
A strange power of protection was released from the last white chess piece.
Directly covering the wooden sword shadow and the fairy formation.
It's like entering another level of space, and the oppression of the power of the fairy realm naturally disappears.
Li Fan is still outside the scope of the Immortal Realm.
Use the shadow of the wooden sword as an eye to peer into the scene in the fairyland.
Strictly speaking, the wooden sword shadow has not truly entered the fairyland. It's just that the fairyland has supported them.
The Yaowang Sect and others who were in shock also received the same treatment.
It's like a folded paper ball that is constantly unfolding.
The light emitted by the chess piece representing the Immortal Realm is getting brighter and brighter.
It was even forced back for a time, and the continuous black energy was about to spread not far away.
Li Fan retreated violently again to avoid these rays of light from shining on himself.
The light from the Immortal Realm does not extend forward in the dark sea of stars like ordinary light.
It's just that after the expansion reaches an area, it stagnates.
From a distance, it looks like a huge light group.
Floating on the edge of the sea of black air.
The white light was so dazzling that it even blocked Li Fan's perception of the shadow of the wooden sword placed inside it.
Li Fan faintly saw countless blurry and shaking images.
Human-like, non-human.
It looks like a scene, but not a scene.
Just as Li Fan was looking forward to it, the Immortal Realm was about to be revealed.
The sea of black air, which was previously forced back by the light of the fairyland, suddenly became turbulent.
The black tide surged, and the speed of expansion was even faster.
The black air rolled and arrived in an instant, reaching the edge of the fairyland light ball.
And the fairyland that was about to appear seemed to sense something extremely terrifying.
The light suddenly shrank.
From the original huge light ball, it turned back into a white-bordered chess piece.
Then, in the stunned eyes of the Medicine King Sect and others, it turned into a white light, pierced the sky, and fled quickly.
The sky in the eyes of the Medicine King Sect was naturally the wooden sword phantom and the fairy array protection set up by Li Fan.
The means that could trap the Heavenly Doctor in a short period of time could not even stop this white light for a moment.
Seeing that the fairyland chess piece was about to disappear in the sea of stars, a huge finger that fell from the sky suddenly broke through the space and pressed it tightly.
It was Li Fan's Nine Heavens Dust Finger!
Perhaps it felt the high-powered aura on the Nine Heavens Dust-falling Finger.
Or perhaps the threat from the black gas had been eliminated.
In short, the white light stopped struggling after just a slight shake for a moment.
And it retracted all the fluctuations of the aura.
Floating quietly in the air.
"This reaction is a bit too big."
"It should be the appearance of the black gas that triggered some kind of obstacle."
"The development of the fairyland has failed."
Li Fan observed for a moment and immediately understood.
This temporary failure does not mean that the fairyland chess piece has lost its function.
But it is temporarily dormant.
However, from the moment it was about to unfold, Li Fan had already glimpsed some scenes in the fairyland.
"It is basically certain that there are no living things in this fairyland."
"The situation that I am worried about, that there are sleeping true immortals lurking in it, will not happen."
"However, in addition to the most basic laws of the fairyland, the most obvious in this fairyland..."
Li Fan frowned, stretched out his palm, and tried to gesture like that.
"These floating lights and shadows..."
"Are they the True Immortal Seal Characters?"
Li Fan was a little unsure.
From the fairyland scene that just flashed by, Li Fan glimpsed many moving black lines.
After being immersed in the True Immortal Seal Characters for a long time, Li Fan naturally recognized them at a glance. Those were the structures that would appear in various True Immortal Seal Characters.
"The True Immortal Seal Characters are actually the embodiment of the laws."
"And when the embodiment of the True Immortal Seal Characters decomposes and turns into laws again..."
"Is this the process of the chess pieces unfolding into the fairyland?"
Li Fan seemed to understand something.
The fairyland chess pieces can actually be seen as the superposition of countless True Immortal Seal Characters!
At the same time, Li Fan's heart was pounding.
To be able to build a complete fairyland, the number of True Immortal Seal Characters contained in this chess piece is probably beyond imagination!
"The True Immortal who built this chess piece back then was definitely not an ordinary person!"
