When Li Fan transmigrated into a new world, his life seemed unremarkable. He was moderately well-off, with a wife and children, but nothing extraordinary. Everything changed upon his death, when he...
Chapter 1684: Holy Medicine Helps Exploration
"It seems that the continuous infusion of saints has a greater impact on me than I thought. Perhaps I need to rest for a while longer."
Li Fan spoke calmly, while the saints in the other side's aperture fell into silence.
"It's okay, as long as you come back safely. It's our fault for not considering it carefully."
After a long time, it was Shouqiu Xuying who resolved the embarrassment.
After all, Li Fan's method of infusing his true spirit is unique in Shanhai.
Even if he lost the means to cross the virtual world and remained forever in the current section of mountains and seas, he could still provide a steady supply of backup power for the Saint Realm.
The saints were no longer surprised.
In the sequence of saints, [Xuanpin] is ranked last.
Facts have proved that even if he suddenly disappears, it will not cause any impact on this initial exploration of the virtual world.
Li Fan sat inside the Xuanji Ring, taking the opportunity to comprehend the paths of other saints.
I don’t know how long it took, but a wave suddenly came.
But it was the saints who finally left and returned.
"About eight hundred years in the world of mountains, seas and dust."
"But in the other side, time has no practical meaning."
The situation is roughly the same as at the end of the mountains and seas.
The brilliant white light of the Xuanji Ring seemed to imprison time. It made the other shore area seem to jump out of the long river of time and exist independently. There were possibilities between the mountains and the sea, and time was rushing forward. In the other shore, everything was eternal and unchanged, and it existed by relying on the mountains and the sea itself.
You can travel from the other side to any possible point in time in the current section of mountains and seas.
You can also start from any point in the mountains or seas and cross the sea to find the trace of the other side.
Only in this way can we attract a group of extraordinary strong men to come and provide possible backup force for the Avengers' mountain and sea plan.
It takes a long time to accumulate from transcendence to becoming a saint.
Only in the frozen time on the other side, these transcendents have the opportunity to try to prove their Dao and become saints. Otherwise, if they were to let time flow normally, they would have perished in Dao before they could break through.
Of course, the emergence of Li Fan's ability to infuse true spirit has undoubtedly greatly accelerated this process.
…
The newly promoted saints returned to the other side with the same look as Li Fan, confused at first, and then sobered up instantly.
Fang Cun frowned, "The virtual world is so dark and vast that it is hard to tell the past from the present, and even I am losing myself. Even though I have tried my best to stay awake, I almost forgot my mission. Fortunately, I still remembered the order we had agreed on before, and I didn't panic when I sensed that my fellow Taoists were there."
"I never thought that staying in the virtual world would be so difficult."
Bai Xiao smiled and said, "Speaking of which, perhaps you don't believe it. In the virtual world, I seemed to feel a certain thought that seemed to want to communicate with me. In order to protect me, the power that annihilates the foundation of all existence has been weakened. Unfortunately..."
Lian Shan's shadow interrupted Bai Xiao's words calmly: "It's just your illusion. If you hadn't become a saint, you might have really submitted to Xing. But now that you have become a saint, there is no turning back. There is indeed consciousness hidden in the virtual world. But it is the overall idea of [Eternal Silence Virtual World]. Every time Dao Yan engulfs the mountains and seas, it is the concrete manifestation of his consciousness."
"If you really wanted to surrender at that time, I'm afraid you would have been buried in the virtual world by now without our countermeasures."
After hearing Lian Shan's words, Bai Xiao's smile froze on his face.
He did not doubt the truth of what Lianshan said, after all, he was the number one immortal in the world.
Naturally, his understanding of Daoyan, Shanhai, is far superior to that of these younger generations.
It seems that Bai Xiao still has some confusion in his heart: "Why can't a saint who has attained enlightenment be tolerated by the stars?"
However, it was the shadow of Lianshan who answered: "A saint is equal to the mountains and the seas. It is true no matter what method is used to become a saint. When a star is born, it is destined to swallow up the mountains and the seas."
With a gentle wave of his hand, images of mountains and seas appeared before the saints.
A straight black line slowly rises, as if it is about to submerge the mountains and the sea.
As the majestic shadows of the mountains and seas slowly disappeared beneath the black line, the figures standing on the mountaintops became more and more conspicuous.
It even became the main target of encroachment by the black line.
“We were born and stood on the mountains and seas. Although we are as tall as the mountains and seas, we still cannot escape this fate.”
"As the mountains and seas gradually fall, in a sense, we will also face the gaze of the stars."
"Or, in other words, from the moment we became saints, we have already fallen into Xing's sight."
Beyond the black line, there seems to be a lone star rising high up.
Everyone had seen the scene where Li Fan demonstrated the "Star" swallowing up everything, and an invisible sense of oppression emerged in their hearts.
"If you still don't believe it, you can give it a try."
"We will rescue you before you are completely swallowed by the void." Taiyi Shadow said calmly.
Bai Xiao ultimately did not risk his own life to verify his inner feelings, and he remained depressed and silent.
After the saints exchanged ideas, Shouqiu Xuying summarized this initial exploration.
"Except for Fellow Daoist Xuanpin who encountered some unexpected events, the performance of the other fellow Daoists was better than expected."
"After a few more adaptations, perhaps we can truly implement the plan of connecting the mountains and the sea."
Shouqiu paused and looked in the direction of Li Fan: "Fellow Daoist Xuanpin, don't worry. The original plan was that thirteen saints would be able to connect with each other. Even if you are missing, judging by the number of saints in the mountains and seas now and their performance this time, there will still be no big problem."
Li Fanlian said ashamedly: "Then while I rest and recover, I will observe whether there are any talents in the mountains and seas. If I can create another saint to fill the position, it would be great."
All the saints agree.
The saints were very tolerant towards Li Fan, who was infused with the True Spirit.
While they were talking, a streak of light suddenly came rushing in from the depths of the mountains and seas.
The Xuanji Ring did not block it, but let it fly in front of the saints.
The light faded, and the saints looked carefully, and found that they were six pills emitting colorful light, with the shadow of a majestic holy dynasty flashing inside!
The prosperity of the Holy Dynasty is as great as the mountains and the sea. The flickering light and shadows exude a refreshing fragrance.
Upon hearing this, the six newly promoted saints all started to salivate with excitement.
Shouqiu smiled and said, "The Holy Emperor's elixir has finally been refined. We are working hard in the virtual world, and he can't just sit there doing nothing all the time."
"Everyone, please take it quickly."
Without any doubt, the newly promoted Six Saints took the Holy Dynasty medicine in front of them very carefully and swallowed it into their stomachs.
In an instant, the Holy Dynasty, which lasted for countless years, had a peaceful and prosperous country, and the desire of countless living beings to live and work in peace and contentment turned into a warm current and was swallowed by the saints.
Because having a home gives you a foothold.
Only because we have a country can we avoid troubled times.
After taking the great medicine of the Holy Dynasty, the saints felt that their resistance to the invasion of the virtual world seemed to have been greatly enhanced.
And this is not their illusion.
Lord Shouqiu continued, "With the blessing of this great medicine, the time you can maintain your own independent thoughts in the virtual world can be at least doubled. The stronger your will, the better the effect."
"Next, the Saint Emperor will send five pills to each person. After swallowing six pills in total, the effect of the medicine will disappear."
"It should be able to barely solve the problem of maintaining order in the virtual world."
The saints tasted the effect of the Holy Dynasty's great medicine and praised it one after another after hearing it.
And Li Fan finally understood why the saints on the other side did not include that Holy Emperor in the plan to Avenge Mountains and Seas.
It turns out that this person is just like me, and the "assistance" effect in the rear is better than in the virtual world.
"But the Holy Dynasty Medicine is still several points weaker than my [True Spirit Infusion] after all."
Li Fan pondered in his heart.
With the precedent of the Holy Emperor, he felt a little more at ease.
After all, strictly speaking, the fact that he got lost in the virtual world so quickly can be said to be a big flaw.
It does not match the strength of a true saint.
But the infusion of true spirit is a magical power that Shanhai has never seen before.
Li Fan used this as an excuse, and even the saints of Lianshan found it difficult to distinguish the truth from the false for a while.
And the ability of this life-creating saint can even make the saints on the other side turn a blind eye to Li Fan’s “flaws”!
However, Li Fan did not stay in the mountains and seas forever.
Every time the saints entered the virtual world, he would follow them.
After swallowing the Holy Dynasty's great medicine one after another, the time he could hold on was indeed increasing.
Once again, the endless cold darkness came.
Li Fan suddenly realized, "A saint is equal to the mountains and seas. The Void World swallows up the mountains and seas, and anyone below this will not be spared. Although I am wearing the Xuanpin robe, I have not truly reached the realm of a saint. Naturally, I cannot escape the invasion of the Void World."
“There is a way…”
"If you don't have quality, you can make up for it with quantity."
What Li Fan knew was definitely not just the [Xuanpin] Avenue.
However, in order to avoid suspicion from the saints around him, he did not call upon the other saintly paths that he had comprehended from the Xuan Ji Ring.
But it is borrowed from the last saint of mountains and seas, the great way of [false is also true]!
Since practicing, Li Fan has been comprehending the changes between truth and falsehood.
He really has it in his hand. This unique advantage enables him to have an understanding in this area that is unmatched among all the creatures in the mountains and seas.
Qiu Xinhui achieved the status of a saint through "The False is True", but Li Fan's understanding of "The False is True" has not yet reached the level of a saint.
But it is enough to put on the saint's robe and add more bricks and tiles to yourself!
With a single thought, there was an additional layer of indescribable and inexplicable mysterious aura within the Xuanpin Avenue.
The truth of falsehood is difficult for people to detect.
At this moment, Li Fan was in the eternal and silent world, and would not be discovered by other saints.
With the double avenues stacked up, Li Fan suddenly felt that the erosion of his memory by the virtual world had weakened a little.
"I was right!"
“Perhaps other paths can be added…”
As his insights were added one after another, Li Fan finally got out of the dilemma of losing his memory at any time.
"A true saint would not be like me who adds unnecessary details. How can other people's paths be as solid as one's own? As long as one sticks to one's own heart, one can stick to oneself in the darkness." Li Fan sighed secretly.
"When the Xuanpin outer garment approaches the level of a normal saint, adding more will be useless."
Li Fan, whose thoughts were functioning normally, began to struggle to identify breath in the darkness.
"That place seems to be the shadow I left behind."
"And ahead are the saints on the other side..."
Li Fan's expression gradually became serious.
Because he suddenly discovered that, judging from the distance, Fangcun and Taiqi should be closer to him.
But in fact, the aura of the three saints Lianshan, Guihai and Taiyi that he sensed was far stronger!
It is like a dazzling lighthouse, standing in the darkness, pointing the way for the saints in the virtual world.
"This is because the Three Saints deliberately released their own auras so that those who came into the virtual world for the first time would not lose their way in an instant. Therefore, they could proceed step by step."
"I don't know how long he has stayed in the virtual world, but he is still so strong and shows no signs of weakening at all."
“…”
Li Fan truly felt the power of the Three Saints, and thus became more cautious.
With the three saints setting the tone, theoretically speaking, later comers only need to extend the rope straightly in the established order.
But things are far from that simple.
The saints are making such a big fuss, and the virtual world with a holistic consciousness naturally cannot just sit there and watch.
When Li Fan vaguely realized that after a long journey, morality was about to connect with the nine saints in front.
In the darkness, an undercurrent suddenly surged.
The ropes built by the Nine Saints seemed to have been tempered a thousand times and remained unmoved.
However, the link between the new six saints was broken in an instant.
The former is behind, the latter is in front. It is difficult to tell the direction.
Fortunately, there are saints standing in ancient times, and there is the shadow of the other side to support us today.
Only then will the saints not lose themselves in the world of emptiness and fail to distinguish between the past and the present.
But after this incident, the connection that held everyone together has been severed.
Li Fan gradually felt exhausted and decisively returned from the virtual world first.
Soon, the saints appeared one after another, looking quite embarrassed.
"The undercurrent in the virtual world has no rules at all. It is so fierce that even we have to do our best to deal with it."
"There is no other way to adapt. You can only rely on yourself to adapt slowly."
“In addition, strengthening connections with each other will also be helpful in dealing with the situation.” Lianshan Shadow said.
Shouqiu also smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone. Connecting the mountains and the sea is not a matter of a day or a night. Connecting them into a rope is only the first step."
"Now that the rope is completed, the annihilated mountains and seas will reappear. This will also require our help."
Bai Xiao asked curiously, "Help, what does this mean?"
Shouqiu said: "The mountains and seas are destroyed, and everything in them has turned into nothingness. It is not so easy to turn the void into reality. Go to the key nodes and promote their changes. From points to lines, it is like opening up meridians. Only then will the efficiency be greatly increased."
"Otherwise, the speed of transformation from virtual to real may not be able to keep up with the speed of the virtual world swallowing it up again. No matter how hard we try, we won't be able to hold on."
The saints vaguely understood.
Li Fan asked: "What is the meaning of this key node?"
"There is no definitive answer. Anyone who has a significant impact on the mountains and seas, or who has left a memory in the mountains and seas, is eligible."
"When the time comes, we will make our own judgment."
"However, the nodes previously selected by Shanhai Unicom can be used for reference."
As Shouqiu Gong spoke, he showed the pictures one after another.
Li Fan was shocked to see a scene from the Xuanhuang Realm flash by.
"I don't know where the breaking point of the mountain and sea was."
"Which period of time is reborn from nothingness."
Li Fan just kept this question in his heart and didn't ask it.
"It's hard to reunite the mountains and seas, but it will be of great benefit to us once we succeed!"
When everyone was silent, Tai Yi spoke again.
I would like to recommend a history book that is extremely well written. It is the kind of book that I could never write in my lifetime. You should go and read it!
