Chapter 43 -  Chapter 1389: Counting Visitors Behind the High Wall

  Once, twice.

  Li Fan's spiritual sense swept over the storyteller, but he could not find the reason for the misjudgment of the immortal formation.

  "Maybe it's not because of him..."

  With a frown, Li Fan carefully searched for nearby items.

  Finally, his sight fell on the wake-up stick used by the storyteller.

  "This thing..."

  It looks ordinary, just a black piece.

  But Li Fan took it in his hand, and the moment he touched it, his soul actually felt a little cool.

  "Hmm?"

  Since he understood the [Wuji Yingxu Method], Li Fan's soul has always been in a "perfect" state, and has always been within the limit of what he can achieve. Even if there is any damage, it can be healed instantly through the power of the five elements and the circulation of the mixed element.

  The soul has become strong to a certain level, and only with the breakthrough of Li Fan's great realm can it grow step by step. In fact, since he was promoted to the God Transformation Realm, until now, the strength of Li Fan's soul has not increased for a long time.

  But now, with the integration of this cool feeling, Li Fan actually felt that his soul was slowly solidifying and the bottleneck was loosening!

  "Hiss... What kind of treasure is this wake-up wood?" Li Fan was surprised, but more alert.

  You have to know that Li Fan's soul strength is now comparable to that of Xuanhuang Changsheng Realm.

  After reaching the limit, it is no longer possible to make further progress by hard work.

  "There are countless treasures in the secret storage of the Immortal Boat. I haven't encountered anything useful to me, and Xuanhuang Realm actually hides..."

  Li Fan was very cautious and set up a fairy formation to isolate the black wake-up wood.

  Then he searched for the origin of this wake-up wood in the storyteller's mind.

  It was not an ancestral object without origin, but he cut down the trees in his family yard and polished them.

  Li Fan brought the storyteller named Ge Daoquan to his home.

  In the courtyard, the lush green tree still stood upright.

  As soon as he entered the yard, Li Fan felt something different.

  Just like walking in the hot summer sun for a long time, and suddenly walking into a shadow.

  Just two words.

  Comfortable!

  If it were an ordinary cultivator, I'm afraid the contrast between the before and after would make him groan on the spot.

  Li Fan took a deep breath, and he was still alert in his heart, and gradually approached the tree.

  The leaves suddenly moved without wind, making a rustling sound.

  Li Fan had seen many strange trees in his reincarnation experience.

  In the Xuanhuang Realm, there are Wanling, Tianhua, Dimai, the three ancient Xuanhuang trees, and Ruomu, the source of life.

  In the Xuanxian Boat, there is a sacred tree from the ancient Shenmu Sect.

  But all of these are different from what is in front of him.

  Whether it is the three ancient trees or Ruomu.

  They all have their own consciousness, and they all give Li Fan a strange and weird feeling of plants and trees becoming spirits.

  But this one in the courtyard...

  It is a pure tree.

  Pure, but extraordinary.

  The crisp sound of leaves colliding with each other slowly eased Li Fan's tense mood.

  Li Fan didn't know the name of the tree.

  He no longer had the desire to get to the bottom of it, but just sat cross-legged under the tree, meditating like enlightenment.

  Another breeze blew by, and dozens of emerald green leaves fell from the tree.

  Like a stream of light, they flew into Li Fan's body.

  Li Fan's eyes slowly closed.

  When he opened them again, it was already ten days later.

  Struggling and fighting in the reincarnation of a hundred lives, always worrying about the monsters of peerless cultivation that suddenly appeared from nowhere, and being really scared of dying so many times...

  All these things, the fatigue accumulated in the mind, were completely eliminated.

  It was like having a good sleep.

  The body and mind were all refreshed.

  Li Fan, who stood up again, felt that his mental state was better than ever.

  He stared at the tree in the courtyard.

  The prosperity was gone, and in his eyes, there was nothing special about it.

  It was like a really ordinary tree.

  Li Fan recalled the images that flashed through his mind during the ten days of sleep.

  They were from the memory of the tree itself.

  A stream of light streaked across the sky and fell near the tree.

  It seemed to have lost its breath of life and was motionless like a dead object. On the outside, it looked like a bloodstained or even half-burned ball.

  As time passed, the rotten skin on the surface of the ball slowly fell off.

  A baby crawled out of it.

  The baby did not cry because it was just born, but just distinguished left and right, and then chose a direction and crawled slowly with a firm gaze. It

  soon disappeared from the tree's sight.

  As for the outer skin of the ball, it slowly dissolved in the wind, sun and rain, turned into nutrients, and was absorbed by the tree.

  ...

  In the sky, there were terrible vibrations and flames everywhere, as if a cruel war was going on.

  A figure came to the tree quietly.

  "Why is it a tree?"

  "Is there a problem with the lock?"

  "This damn place..."

  In the man's hand stood a mechanical one-eyed little man. The little man's eyes glowed with golden light, and he pointed at the trees ahead.

  There was a look of confusion and anxiety on his face. The man fiddled with it again, but the direction the little man was staring at never changed.

  The man cursed and threw the mechanical doll to the ground in anger.

  In the sky, it seemed that a monk noticed the existence of the man below.

  The man's expression changed slightly, and he turned into a golden light and fled away.

  After who knows how many days, the mechanical doll was buried deep underground.

  The sun rises and the moon sets, and the traces of the shocking battle have gradually been smoothed by the years.

  Occasionally, there are mortals, and every time they pass by here, they will feel extremely at ease.

  So some people began to choose to settle down, and a mortal town appeared.

  Ten generations have lived near this tree. Their mentality is surprisingly good. Although they have lived an ordinary life, they are content with what they have. Even if they encounter any difficulties, they just laugh it off.

  Until the eleventh generation, in order to make a living, they chose to become storytellers. It happened that they were short of a good wake-up stick, so they chopped a piece from the tree at home.

  ...

  Thoughts surged, and the first thing Li Fan did was to dig around the tree.

  Knowing that the spiritual sense search was ineffective, Li Fan had to choose to do it himself.

  Not long after, he really found the mechanical man that the man had thrown away hundreds of years ago.

  It was buried in the dust for many years, and now it was taken out again, it was still as new.

  There was no trace of time.

  But the third eye of the mechanical man had been closed for some reason.

  No matter how he urged it, it didn't respond at all.

  Li Fan played with this mechanical product and felt a familiar breath.

  "Fall into the mortal world..."

  Li Fan's heart began to become solemn.

  After pondering for a moment, Li Fan made a decision.

  He took out the white circle [Falling into the Mortal World] and shone it on the mechanical man.

  Falling into the Mortal

  World is the entity condensation of the Great Dao Law [Innate]. Over the past ten years, Li Fan has been holding the white circle, recalling the manifestation on the wordless stele in his previous life.

  He wanted to comprehend this great Dao.

  But what disappointed him was that no matter how he comprehended it, he could not form his own understanding like other True Immortal seal characters.

  It was as if...

  the principles of [Innate] in the world had all been gathered together. It was not something that others could get involved in.

  Li Fan did not force it. Anyway, [Zhenzhen] had been bound to the white circle Falling into the Mortal World. At present, it could be called anytime and anywhere and comprehended by himself, and the gap was not too big.

  At this moment, the light of the white circle locked onto the mechanical man.

  Under the white light, the man who should have been decomposed into nothingness was actually unharmed!

  It was not because its status was still above Falling into the Mortal World, which could be immune to the decomposition effect.

  It was because the light released by the white circle suddenly turned green after sensing the mechanical man.

  The mechanical man thus avoided the fate of being decomposed.

  The white circle illuminated the dormant robot, which had been in a dormant state, and came to life again.

  It flew and stood in Li Fan's palm, and then opened its third eye.

  It seemed to be searching for something, and kept turning.

  But for some reason, the robot's speed was getting faster and faster.

  It was like it was out of control, spinning madly and non-stop.

  It turned into a spinning top.

  "Is it broken?"

  Li Fan frowned slightly.

  He did not stop it for the time being and let the robot continue to turn.

  Li Fan first looked at the green trees in the courtyard.

  "A hundred years ago, the reason why the villain pointed to this tree was because this tree absorbed the layer of skin including the baby's."

  "That layer of material should have the effect of awakening and enlightening."

  "However, with the passage of time, especially after it was absorbed by me before, the effect has become negligible now, so the villain will continue to point to other places."

  "I don't know how much the effect has weakened, but it still has such a miraculous effect on me. It's hard to imagine what it looked like at the beginning."

  Li Fan's eyes flashed, and he continued to think: "The white circle fell into the mortal world and can produce a sense of the mechanical villain. It is enough to confirm that they are from the same source..."

  "So, my guess in my last life was indeed correct. The one who was suppressed in the deepest part of the Nether Prison really came from outside the high wall."

  Li Fan's expression suddenly became serious.

  Yes, the man's figure that appeared in the tree's memory was the skeleton that Li Fan saw in the deepest part of the Nether Prison in his last life.

  The cultivator who called himself Qin Zhuang!

  "I searched his soul, but there was no memory of what happened just now."

  "It's obvious that he used secret methods to conceal and forge his experience. What a trick!"

  Li Fan praised secretly. He didn't get angry because he was fooled, but felt a little excited.

  "He thought he did things perfectly, but he didn't expect that everything he did would leave traces."

  "Under normal circumstances, this trace is definitely not easy to find. But in front of the Xuanhuang Illusion Formation where all beings are equal, it finally appeared!"

  Li Fan recalled the figure of the baby crawling out of the sphere in the tree's memory.

  "Qin Zhuang... let's call him that for now."

  "He came to the high wall, it seems to be to search for the trace of the baby."

  "So, this baby also came from outside the high wall?"

  "Qin Zhuang is related to the Tianjian Sect. Could it be that this baby is also a descendant of the Tianjian Sect?"

  In an instant, thousands of questions emerged in Li Fan's mind.

  In this life, the Immortal Alliance Hell has been shrouded by the Xuanhuang Illusion Formation. Qin Zhuang also inevitably fell into the illusion.

  But I think the result of the test in the previous life is the same, Qin Zhuang will not reveal any flaws.

  "It failed twice in a row..."

  "It seems that the means to resist the illusion array outside the high wall have become very popular."

  Li Fan pondered for a moment, and was not in a hurry to capture and torture Qin Zhuang.

  "Even the immortal array can be exempted, so other physical punishments should be useless."

  "It is necessary to upgrade more special means. Maybe after I merge with the Tao, there will be new methods."

  ...

  Thinking back, Li Fan looked at the spinning mechanical man again.

  It still showed no signs of stopping.

  Li Fan pondered and observed carefully.

  "It seems to be spinning, but there are different gaps between each rotation."

  "This look is like..."

  "Many different targets were found at the same time. And these targets are distributed in various places in the Xuanhuang Realm?"

  Li Fan came to an incredible conclusion.

  "Wait, could it be..."

  In an instant, a thought suddenly appeared in Li Fan's mind.

  In order to verify his guess, Li Fan held the mechanical man and slowly flew towards a place.

  As he got closer, the man turned to the direction of Li Fan's advance more and more frequently.

  Finally, Li Fan arrived at his destination.

  Looking at the little man who finally stopped spinning, Li Fan smiled meaningfully.

  On the plaque of the wooden house in front of him, three big characters were written.

  Qianli Hall!

  The third eye of the mechanical little man stared straight at Jiao Xiuyuan, who had fallen asleep in the hall.

  Then, as if it had exhausted its energy again.

  It slowly closed.

  "That baby back then was actually him."

  "Jiao Xiuyuan, from outside the high wall?"

  "But he is not like Qin Zhuang, who is immune to the illusion array..."

  Li Fan's thoughts surged in his heart.

  Then he closed his eyes and stood slightly, taking the mechanical little man with him, and entered the [Xuanhuang All Beings] formation. In the

  illusion array, Jiao Xiuyuan was still as usual, constantly shouting and doing business.

  When Li Fan appeared in front of him, Jiao Xiuyuan seemed to sense something, and his shouting stopped abruptly, and his eyes fell on the mechanical little man held by Li Fan.

  Li Fan pretended to turn around and leave.

  "This Taoist friend, please stay!"

  Jiao Xiuyuan shouted repeatedly, and walked out to stop Li Fan.

  "Since you are already here, why don't you come in? Come in and sit down." Jiao Xiuyuan said with a smile on his face, revealing a trace of honesty on his dark face. With the

  absolute qualities of a businessman, he did not look at the little man in Li Fan's hand again.   Li Fan put away

  the little man and sighed: "It is an heirloom. I wanted to sell it. In the end, after repeated consideration, I decided to forget it." "Goodbye!" Li Fan bowed and wanted to leave again.   "Daoyou, don't be in a hurry to leave. I feel friendly when I see your face. If you have any difficulties, just speak up. If I can, I will definitely help you." Jiao Xiuyuan patted his chest, looking like a righteous man.   Li Fan hesitated for a few minutes, but finally sat down.   Jiao Xiuyuan quietly closed Qianlitang and closed the door.   Concentrate on dealing with Li Fan alone.   "To be honest, Daoyou, I have been having a recurring dream since I was born."   Li Fan pondered for a while, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he deeply attracted Jiao Xiuyuan's attention.   "In my dream, I saw a ray of light falling from the sky. A baby crawled out of the sphere..."   Li Fan said as he carefully observed Jiao Xiuyuan's reaction.   Jiao Xiuyuan listened with great interest, but did not show any abnormality as Li Fan expected.   "I guess this dream may be related to the little man passed down in the family." Li Fan said again.
