"The first generation of Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Venerable was not an immortal descending to the mortal world..."
"But an immortal turning into a mortal?"
In an instant, Li Fan's mind was shocked.
Immortal descending to the mortal world, immortal turning into a mortal. 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 constrained by the limit that the lower world can bear.
Once he turns into a mortal, then...
the immortal is no longer an immortal!
Becoming a true immortal is the dream of all mortal cultivators. However, in the ancient Xuanhuang world, there was actually such a true immortal who chose to degenerate and be exiled to the mortal world.
"The Tribulation of Dao Annihilation!" 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 turned into a mortal, there should be a long time before the great tribulation of the immortal world."
"Such foresight, such courage!"
"This is a true immortal descending to the mortal world!"
Li Fan couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.
But Li Fan suddenly changed his mind and thought: "However, we cannot rule out that he was forced to do so. After all, from the previous True Immortal's memory, we can know that the Immortal Realm also has a strict hierarchy."
"If it was just to avoid the Dao Annihilation Disaster, theoretically speaking, he would never serve as the Xuanhuang Tianzun again."
"Obviously, the arrival of the first generation is to cooperate with the Immortal Realm to achieve a certain plan."
"And the 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.
"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 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 was always safe and sound. This made some immortals' will to fight against the disaster shaken."
"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.
So what about the first generation himself? It
is different from ordinary people. Since the first generation can leave behind blood, it should have completely turned into a mortal.
Could it be that such a person is like countless mortals, disappearing in the long river of history because of the end of his life?
Or did he change his identity, hide his name, and observe everything silently in the dark?
"Now it seems that the close connection between the Xuanhuang Realm and the Immortal Realm is definitely related to this first-generation Heavenly Venerate. The True Immortal who was demoted and banished, as a bridge of communication between immortals and mortals, secretly monitors everything that happens in the Xuanhuang Realm."
"And this True Immortal is also controlled by the Immortal Realm. Perhaps he was dissatisfied and faked his death to escape."
"The second Xuanhuang Heavenly Venerate will no longer be an immortal incarnated as a mortal, but will select creatures from the Xuanhuang Realm to serve..."
"Either, the cost of immortals incarnating as 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's really hard to find someone to incarnate into a mortal."
"Or, both."
Recalling the mysterious character he had seen in the bloodline of the You Clan before, Li Fan thought for a moment: "If an immortal wants to incarnate into a mortal, it is definitely not as simple as a demotion."
"This also involves the [Transformation between Immortals and Mortals]."
"That's a power even stronger than [Creation]..."
His thoughts were racing.
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 Great Heavenly Venerable and Xing Wuque that Li Fan grasped in an instant. But the correspondence with the clues found before was enough to explain the problem.
"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!"
The Darkest Star Sea is the base camp where Li Fan is currently active. From the surface, it is still relatively safe. This makes Li Fan feel a little relieved.
"The You people, since they are the blood of the First 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 was forced to suppress it.
"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 again."
From the 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 had been collected but not yet assembled.
"If there were really true immortals in the past, they regarded the lower world as a hotbed to avoid disasters. Then this dismantled and banned fairyland is very likely to become their hiding place..."
Li Fan pondered in his heart, and hesitated about whether to activate the fairyland fragments left by Sun Piaomiao.
After thinking for a long time, he finally made up his mind and suppressed his hesitation.
"Such a blind box will be opened sooner or later."
"It's better to open it early than late."
"I have mastered the method of downgrading the fairy formation. With many fairy formations in hand, even if there is any accident, I can ensure that I can calmly launch the real one."
"Besides, there is a place in the star sea to attack the immortals..."
A gleam of light flashed in Li Fan's eyes.
He summoned Liu Ruchen and other descendants of Yaowang Sect, and brought all the fragments of the fairyland.
The shadow of the wooden sword enveloped them and dragged them to the center of the star sea.
The shadow solidified and evolved into a scene of the daytime and blue sky, an ordinary world.
He did not let Yaowang Sect and others realize their own situation.
Only Li Fan could see the boundless black air not far away, which made people feel trembling with fear.
"The speed of spread is faster than expected."
"Moreover, the periphery of this black air area..."
Li Fan observed for a while, compared it with what he had seen before, and frowned slightly.
He had seen the signs of the Dao Annihilation here more than once before, but they were very far away, and only when he "witnessed" the black air did he feel a sense of crisis in his heart.
But now, even if he looked away and did not observe the boundless black air directly.
Li Fan still had a sense of horror in his heart, which emerged like a tide.
The sense of crisis lingered, and the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra could not dispel it.
In fact, the longer he stayed, the stronger it accumulated.
Suppressing the instinct to escape, Li Fan carefully savored this specific feeling.
"It's like a dangerous wall is collapsing, a building is about to fall, and I am under the dangerous wall and the building..."
Under the strong crisis, Li Fan did not advance but retreated.
The shadow of the wooden sword almost came to the edge of the sea of black air 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.
He knew nothing about his situation. The people of the Medicine King Sect just looked at the floating light ball in front of them, with a dazed look on their faces.
In the golden light chain, a seven-colored chess piece, a white chess piece, and six gray chess pieces were clearly visible.
"This is the fragment of the fairyland left by the ancestor!"
About to unlock the secret of the ancient fairyland left by Sun Piaomiao, the people of the Medicine King Sect, with excitement, began to merge the fragments of the fairyland under the instructions of Li Fan.
With Liu Ruchen's [Ji Shi Changsheng Jing] as the leading force, they first merged the six sealed gray chess pieces.
The process was surprisingly smooth.
Just like the result of Li Fan's previous manipulation of the fusion, the six gray pieces merged into a seven-colored chess piece that was a circle larger.
Now, there are only two six-in-one seven-colored chess pieces left on the field, and the most critical one, the white chess piece transformed from the Medicine King Cauldron.
The white chess piece seemed to be inspired by the other two fused chess pieces, and the colorful light on the edge kept echoing.
Although it was a circle smaller than the colorful chess piece, it was the same core.
The bound golden chain was shaky. It could be broken free at any time.
Li Fan retreated violently and released the seal at the same time.
The eyes of Yaowangzong and others were full of enthusiasm. They manipulated the two colorful chess pieces and sent them to the white chess piece.
In an instant, the light circle on the edge of the white chess piece suddenly expanded outward.
It swallowed the two colorful chess pieces.
Only the last chess piece was left in the field.
Buzz...
A low roar that was faint began to come from this chess piece.
Through the layers of fairy formations, Li Fan carefully observed this new chess piece.
It was a bit strange that the annexation of all the chess pieces had been completed. But the imagined fairyland did not manifest directly.
But Li Fan was very sure that the fusion was successful.
Because he felt that the "weight" of the fairyland not far away was constantly increasing.
The phantom of the wooden sword and the enveloping immortal formation were all in danger.
Under the influence of the immortal realm, they could break at any time.
Just as Li Fan was about to infuse power again, at least to maintain it until the real immortal realm appeared.
A strange protective force was released from the last white chess piece.
It directly covered the phantom of the wooden sword and the immortal formation.
It was like entering another layer of space, and the oppression of the power of the immortal realm naturally disappeared.
Li Fan was still outside the scope of the immortal realm.
He used the phantom of the wooden sword as an eye to peek at the scene in the immortal realm.
Strictly speaking, the phantom of the wooden sword had not really entered the immortal realm. It was just that the immortal realm had supported the pillars of protection for them.
Those people from the Medicine King Sect who were in shock also received the same treatment.
It was like a folded paper ball that was constantly unfolding.
The chess piece representing the immortal realm released brighter and brighter light. It
even forced back the continuous black air that was about to spread not far away.
Li Fan retreated again to avoid these lights shining on himself.
The light from the fairyland did not extend forward in the dark sea of stars like ordinary light.
It just stagnated after expanding to an area.
From a distance, it looked like a huge ball of light.
Floating on the edge of the sea of black air.
The white light was too dazzling, even shielding Li Fan's perception of the wooden sword phantom placed in it.
Li Fan faintly saw countless blurred and shaking images from it.
Like people, but not people.
Like scenery, but not scenery.
Just when Li Fan was looking forward to the fairyland being revealed.
The black sea that was previously forced back by the light of the fairyland suddenly became turbulent.
The black tide surged and expanded 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 front of the stunned eyes of the Medicine King Sect and others, it turned into a white light, pierced through 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 Finger.
Or perhaps the threat from the black air had been eliminated.
In short, it only shook slightly for a moment, and the white light stopped struggling.
And retracted all the fluctuations of the breath.
Floating quietly in the air.
"This reaction is a bit too big."
"It should be the appearance of the black air that triggered some kind of obstacle."
"The development of the fairyland has failed."
Li Fan observed for a moment and understood everything.
This temporary failure does not mean that the chess piece of the fairyland has lost its function.
Instead, 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 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.
"These floating lights and shadows..."
"Is it the immortal seal characters?"
Li Fan was a little unsure.
From the fairyland scene that just flashed by, Li Fan glimpsed many swimming black lines.
After immersing himself in the immortal seal characters for a long time, Li Fan naturally recognized them at a glance. Those are the structures that appear in various immortal seal characters.
"The immortal seal characters are actually the embodiment of the laws."
"And when the concrete immortal seal characters are decomposed and become the laws again..."
"Is this the process of unfolding from chess pieces to the fairyland?"
Li Fan seemed to understand something.
The Immortal Domain chess piece can actually be seen as the superposition of countless True Immortal seal characters!
At the same time, Li Fan's heart was pounding.
Being able to construct a complete Immortal Domain, 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!"
