Chapter 232: Hundreds of Disasters Never End
"Are you extremely talented in cultivation..."
"Maybe it's just the encouragement from Third Senior Brother before his death."
"If you are really talented, how could you stop using the golden elixir before you die?"
"You still need to use the power of earth fire to absorb and refine it for thousands of years before you can become a god."
"The sword took the wrong path and saved the country through curves. Although I finally became a god-transformation monk, it is definitely not close to the extraordinary talent."
Li Fan shook his head secretly and sighed.
After a while, Li Fan began to summarize the information gained during this period.
As early as when he first entered the Yunshui Heavenly Palace, Li Fan learned from the mouths of Qin Tang and Chong Taoist that a huge and extremely tragic war had occurred in ancient times.
Although he didn't know whether it was affected by the ability of the Immortal Lord to forget his worries, Li Fan could not find any relevant records in the Tianxuan Mirror.
But later in [Searching for Immortals], the horrific war scene experienced by the monk named Fujito also vaguely showed that this war did indeed exist.
According to Master Tianyang's [Eternal Memory], Li Fan had a deeper understanding of the cruelty of this war.
Even the ordinary mountain sects in the world of immortality at that time were almost completely wiped out.
One can imagine how tragic this battle was.
Which two parties are at war?
What are you fighting for?
Tianyang's senior brother Si Xing once contemptuously called the other side of the war "barbarians".
But judging from the results, the opponent's strength is definitely not weak.
Although the side of the Ten Great Immortal Sects won in the end.
But it can only be said to be a miserable victory.
In his continuous reincarnation, Li Fan also encountered strong men with Taoist cultivation.
He clearly knew how terrifying Hedao monks were.
However, in ancient times, there were many powerful people who were able to follow the Way.
But at least among those powerful sects, there are many of them.
Not to mention, among the ten major immortal sects, there must still be the existence of the Immortal Lord.
Just thinking about it, you can understand what a terrifying force these sects become when they unite.
What kind of enemy can push immortal cultivators to the point of near despair?
Li Fan was full of doubts.
The truth is hidden in the fog of history. Even if Li Fan had many opportunities, he has only had a glimpse of it until now.
To truly understand what happened, Li Fan needed more information.
Thinking of this, Li Fan quietly suppressed the trivial thoughts about the ancient war in his heart.
He turned around and thought about another thing.
"In the era of the war, the sect was extremely prosperous. The alliance of the ten major immortal sects had absolute dominance over the entire world of immortal cultivation."
"The jade slips left by Lian Chang, the third senior brother of Tianyang, are not recorded in the 'Fake Heaven and Earth's Wonders' set of cultivation methods."
"So it is inferred that the [Ancient War Period] should be before the Immortal Lord's reform."
"Perhaps it is precisely because of this battle that the vitality of these ancient sects has been severely damaged."
"Only by the Immortal Lord's new method can there be space and soil for full development."
"[The period of reform] is coming, and new laws will eventually replace the old ones."
"But after many years, the world of immortality will return to its former glory."
"However, the monks plundered the heaven and the earth, and faced a backlash from the heaven and the earth. The law cannot be practiced together, and the [Great Tribulation Period] suddenly came."
"At the beginning of the Great Tribulation Era, although fighting with each other inevitably occurred, the general order can still be maintained."
"But as time goes by, more and more monks are approaching their end. Collapse is inevitable."
"At this juncture, the immortal miasma broke out. This is called the [Great Plague Period]."
"The lesser of two evils, under the threat of immortal miasma, immortal cultivators have to stop killing each other and find a way to solve the immortal miasma."
"Killing mortals on a large scale is counterproductive. All we can do is move them en masse to the surrounding small worlds."
"When there are no mortals in this world, the problem of immortality and mortal miasma is completely solved."
"Real chaos and killings have come. The orthodox order of the world of immortality that has lasted for countless thousands of years has collapsed, and the monks are like ants, struggling to survive."
"I would like to call this period [the Great Dark Period]."
"No matter how dark the day is, it will eventually pass. When the number of monks drops to an extreme value, the killing finally stops."
"At this time, the world of immortality has long become a wasteland. There are only a few lonely cultivators who survived the Great Dark Period, living in this desolate land."
"It can be called the [Wasteland Era]."
"After that, there will be the establishment of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association, and a new order of immortality will reappear in the Xuanhuang Realm."
Li Fan compiled all his experiences since entering the world of immortality.
A clear historical context slowly emerged.
"The vitality of the civilization of immortal cultivators is really tenacious." Li Fan couldn't help but sigh secretly.
"Even if we go through such disasters one after another, even if we are almost completely wiped out, we can still take root and sprout again from the ruins."
And I thought that my future opponents might be old monsters who survived these catastrophic times.
Li Fan couldn't help but feel numb.
However, he was not afraid.
"I can fail countless times."
"But no matter what your cultivation level is, as long as you fail once, you will completely lose."
"What do I have to fear?"
"Anyone who blocks my immortality will be punished by me."
Li Fan had already seen that the Xuanhuang Realm of the new order was somewhat similar to the "Dingyu".
To survive, it was not enough to just become the new fish leader.
He had to escape the collective hunting of the ancient fish kings who were eyeing him covetously, and only then would he be truly qualified to control his own destiny.
His mood slowly calmed down.
The virtualized world was not over yet.
Li Fan guessed that Tianyang's "plot" had not ended yet.
Anyway, in this world similar to the Falling Fairyland, the flow of time was inconsistent with the real world.
Li Fan was not in a hurry to go out.
He simply practiced [Body Transformation and Freedom] in this body transformation cave, using Tianyang's body.
For Li Fan, the practice of the ancient method was still a novel experience.
It was not as direct and rough as the new method.
It focused more on the understanding of the method itself, as well as the feeling and thinking of the Tao.
Compared with the mechanical and repetitive hard work in the practice of the new method.
The practice of the old method gave Li Fan a feeling of greater autonomy and enjoyment.
Of course, this is also because, at this time, Li Fan's body is the body that Tianyang Zhenren can practice.
If a mortal who does not have the qualifications to practice, he will definitely not be so happy.
There is no need for the wonders of heaven and earth. After reaching the perfection of Qi Refining.
As if it is a natural process, Li Fan borrowed Tianyang's body and broke through to the foundation-building stage.
After that, he made rapid progress all the way, the middle stage of foundation-building, the late stage of foundation-building...
Until the perfection of foundation-building, it stagnated.
