Chapter 18 The Abyss Is Deep and the Fish Leaps
Li Fan no longer cared about what kind of reaction Kou Hongdao Xuanzi would have when he returned to the world of immortal cultivation and found that the two of them were actually practicing the same technique.
At this moment, he had already dealt with everything and drove the Taiyan Boat to the top of the Xuyuan.
According to common sense, one should wait until the white fog disperses every fifteen years to explore the Xuyuan.
But now Li Fan is 71 years old, and it will take another 14 years before the next white fog disperses.
By that time, he will be 85 years old, and his time will be up. He will have difficulty even walking, let alone driving the Taiyan Boat.
So it is better to explore the reality of the Xianjue formation as soon as possible.
Anyway, he has nothing to miss in this life, and he can start the next life at any time.
Driving the Taiyan Boat, Li Fan slowly descended to the bottom of the Xuyuan.
Without divine consciousness to explore the way, he can only use his sight to identify the direction.
The fog was shrouded, and everything around was white, which made Li Fan feel extremely unreal.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, and only the sound of his own breathing could be heard.
He focused his attention and continued to fly downwards.
Suddenly, as if he had hit something, the Taiyan Boat began to shake violently.
Li Fan suddenly became nervous.
As if being squeezed by an invisible force, there were bursts of sounds similar to metal friction coming from outside the Taiyan Boat.
Fortunately, the defensive formation was activated in time, and a layer of light golden light curtain enveloped the Taiyan Boat.
The boat gradually became stable, and the somewhat creepy noise disappeared.
Only the constantly twisting and changing protective light curtain told the terrifying pressure from the outside world.
"After the Gangfeng layer, the next is the Huanguang layer." Li Fan recalled Kou Hong's previous introduction to the Xianjue Great Array.
The Xianjue Great Array is mainly to prevent exiled mortals from returning to the world of cultivation.
The Gangfeng layer is full of strong winds.
The wind blade can easily tear the body of a mortal, and even the cultivators in the foundation-building period have to protect themselves with spiritual power and deal with it carefully.
Below the Gangfeng layer is the Huanguang layer.
Colorful light like silk flows everywhere in this abyss.
When mortals see it, they will fall into endless illusions.
Below the illusion layer is the inversion layer.
When entering this layer, you will feel that the world is changing, and you can't tell up from down, left from right.
In addition, it is all white all around. Without divine sense to identify the direction, you will definitely get lost.
After the inversion layer, it is the flowing fire layer.
Tens of thousands of flying stars and flowing fire fly at high speeds in this space without any rules, smashing everything in front of them.
There is also thick white fog as a cover, making it difficult to guard against.
Below the flowing fire layer is the black ice layer.
From this layer, the fog gradually becomes sparse.
There is nothing else in the black ice layer, only extremely low temperatures.
If there is no corresponding protection, I am afraid that you will be frozen into ice as soon as you enter.
Below the black ice layer is the thunderstorm layer.
Tens of thousands of thunders exuding a breath of destruction roar in this abyss without stopping.
Finally, there is an empty space that is several times wider than the previous six layers combined.
According to Kou Hong, there is no danger in this layer, but it is dark, which makes people feel uneasy.
After passing through the dark layer, you can leave the Immortal Absolute Array and go to the Immortal Cultivation World.
Li Fan carefully controlled the Taiyan Boat and spent half an hour to finally pass through the Gangfeng Layer.
As soon as he entered the Illusionary Light Layer, under the shining of the flowing light, Li Fan fell into a lot of illusions.
In the illusion, he successfully escaped from the Immortal Absolute Array. After arriving at the Immortal Cultivation World, he got a rare skill by chance. However, in just a hundred years, he refined the golden elixir.
After that, he practiced all the way, and it was all smooth. After a thousand years, he ascended to heaven.
When he arrived in the Immortal World, Li Fan started to practice step by step from the lowest level of Immortal Official, and finally became the Immortal Emperor who looked down on the Immortal World.
Then Li Fan broke the space barrier of the Immortal World and ascended to the God Realm.
Starting as a miner in the God Realm, after ten thousand years, Li Fan cultivated to the God King Realm and became the most powerful existence in the God Realm.
After that, Li Fan went through untold hardships and ascended to the Ancient God Realm, becoming the bottom gatekeeper of the Ancient God Realm.
He started from the beginning again.
He did this for who knows how many layers...
Finally, the illusion collapsed.
Li Fan woke up, and all the previous experiences quickly receded in his mind like the ebb tide, leaving only a few shallow traces.
Speechless about his previous experience in the illusion, Li Fan calmed his mind and continued to go down.
His brain was dizzy and he lost his direction. Li Fan knew that he had come to the inversion layer.
Surrounded by endless white fog, Taiyanzhou was like a drop of water in the ocean, not knowing where to go.
He thought that his exploration journey in this world would end here, but Li Fan was surprised to find that a mysterious intuition came from Taiyanzhou, telling him where to go.
Li Fan followed Tai Yanzhou's guidance and soon left the inversion layer.
Next, Li Fan, who had tasted the sweetness, did not deliberately control it at all, but just provided power and let Tai Yanzhou fly in this immortal formation.
Flowing fire, black ice, thunderstorm...
These places seem extremely dangerous, but Tai Yanzhou's slow flight always allows him to pass by one destructive crisis after another.
All the way without danger, Li Fan smoothly came to the last layer, the dark layer.
"Yes, this Taiyan Boat was specially responsible for migrating mortals thousands of years ago. The Great Migration Era lasted for hundreds of years, and this flying boat must not have made only one round trip. Judging from its degree of damage, the migration work may not have stopped for a hundred years. The cultivator in charge must have felt that it was a tiring thing to operate it personally every time, so he left a secret door in this Taiyan Boat so that it could automatically pass through the Xianjue Great Array..." Li Fan was extremely surprised, but suddenly he figured out why this behavior was unexpectedly smooth.
The Taiyan Boat quietly moved forward in the darkness.
Thinking that the Xiuxian world he had been looking forward to for a hundred years was not far ahead, even with Li Fan's cunning, he couldn't help but get excited at this time.
Suddenly, in the extremely silent darkness, an inexplicable, ancient, distant, and deep cry sounded.
This strange sound spread throughout the entire dark layer in an instant, and kept echoing in it.
Li Fan's heartbeat stopped instantly, as if he had encountered some kind of natural enemy, and the blood in his body turned cold in an instant.
The shouts were getting closer and closer, and in a blink of an eye, they surrounded the small Taiyan Boat, coming from all directions.
Suddenly, the sound disappeared.
It became quiet again.
The surroundings were still pitch black, but it seemed different from the previous darkness.
Li Fan suddenly felt a chill.
He knew that the Taiyan Boat was swallowed by some kind of existence.
"Bang!"
The protective light shield of the Taiyan Boat was shattered in an instant, and the body of the Taiyan Boat began to disintegrate.
The charging progress began to plummet at this moment.
After taking a deep look at the darkness outside for the last time, Li Fan muttered to himself.
"Really!"
