Chapter 1346: Bearing the Weight of the Immortal Realm
Just as Xuanxianzhou had guessed before.
Each grey chess piece is forged from a world.
Li Fan looked at the four chess pieces spinning in front of him, and many visions suddenly flooded into his mind.
That was the scene of these four dead worlds before they were transformed: a land of ice stretching for thousands of miles; on the endless plains, dynasties established by different immortal cultivators stood tall; around the terrifying sword mark that was split by a sword and spanned the world, there were scattered sword sects of enlightenment; the vast blue ocean covered the entire world, and terrible storms raged all year round, raising huge waves thousands of feet high and destroying everything on the sea surface. Creatures could only survive on the seabed...
The names of the four worlds also appeared in Li Fan's mind along with these hallucinations.
"Jingji, Baiqiu, Jianhe, Yuanhai."
Although the scenes are different, these four worlds are all full of life. However, at a certain moment, a terrifying force beyond imagination descended.
Everything in the world fell into stillness.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Like the continuous impact of a heavy hammer, all life was annihilated in an instant. Only the world itself could survive this devastating blow.
Just like a block of iron that was heated and melted into liquid, after being condensed and hammered, it was forged into a sword. The four very different worlds also slowly underwent inexplicable changes in their properties and essences amid the roar.
The chaotic illusion disappeared, and finally returned to four gray chess pieces that kept spinning.
"Saint Master, this..." Li Fan was not the only one who noticed the extraordinaryness of the gray chess piece. Master Yin's gray-white eyes, which were spinning rapidly in black and white, also showed his inner unrest at the moment.
"Using the world to make chess pieces. The power of a true immortal is truly extraordinary." Li Fan glanced at Master Yin indifferently, and then sighed softly.
"True Immortal, chess piece?" Master Yin's body trembled slightly after catching the two key words. He immediately said, "Sure enough, my hunch was right. The Yin-Yang Pearl I absorbed before might also be related to the True Immortal!"
Li Fan looked at Master Yin, waiting for what to come.
Master Yin paused, as if he was organizing his words. Then he said calmly, "The moment I saw these four chess pieces, I felt a sense of familiarity. It's not that I've seen them before, but that I feel familiar with them as belonging to the same species. Just like when I saw those world ghosts..."
Li Fan's eyes flickered, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded: "The huge amount of death and vitality contained in the Yin-Yang double beads is probably beyond the control of cultivators of my generation."
Master Yin continued, "But these... chess pieces, while I feel familiar with them, I also instinctively feel a little fearful. They are like a strict hierarchy, high above me!"
"I also feel that, although the power of life and death no longer exists in these worlds, they still have a great attraction to me. It seems that swallowing them will be of great benefit to me! The benefit is even greater than the Yin-Yang Pearls!" Master Yin's tone gradually became blurred, and he closed his eyes in time before the greed in his eyes was about to get out of control.
After a long time, the temptation from the devil's whisper finally disappeared from his ears, and he gradually returned to normal. But he didn't dare to stare at the four chess pieces anymore.
Li Fan naturally knew the source of the fear and temptation that this grey chess piece brought to Master Yin.
"Fragments of laws originating from the Immortal Realm..."
The mutated version of the Record of Repairing the Sky was silently running in Li Fan's mind. In his field of vision, the four chess pieces once again turned into horizontal and vertical lines.
That is the principle of the world that has been built and transformed.
Li Fan compared the similarities and differences between them.
Tens of thousands of years have passed, and the star sea has been destroyed and revived. However, the principles of the great way that are the cornerstone of the world have not changed much.
Li Fan had gained a profound understanding of the principles of heaven and earth in the world of immortal cultivation during his continuous reincarnation. After several observations and comparisons, he indeed discovered those parts of the four chess piece worlds that did not belong to the "lower world".
It looks no different from the lines that represent the ordinary principles of heaven and earth.
In fact, it is a superior replacement of the laws of the lower realm, a rebirth after sublimation and transformation.
Although it is just a fragment of the law used for construction, in Li Fan's eyes it is like the most dazzling gem in the world.
If the principles of the lower world are a low mountain that is no more than a hundred meters high, then the four chess pieces that come from the fairy world are magnificent mountains that stretch for hundreds of miles. They are all-encompassing and full of vitality.
The two are simply not comparable.
And I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but the fragments of the immortal laws contained in these four chess pieces are different from each other.
"The laws contained in each chess piece are like pieces of a puzzle. When they are fully integrated, perhaps they will form a complete picture."
"There are twelve grey chess pieces in total, which should correspond to the twelve beacons left by Sun Piaomiao."
"In that case..."
"In fact, there should be thirteen. The Medicine King Cauldron that has been passed down from ancient times in Xuanhuang Realm and Medicine King Sect is not within the sensing range."
Thinking of this, Li Fan couldn't help but look up outside the Xuanhuang Realm.
The Yaowang Cauldron of the Yaowang Sect is still struggling near the Immortal Ruins and has not returned to the Xuanhuang Realm.
"Anyway, the day of its fall is not far away, so we just have to wait. There is no need to risk going to the Immortal Ruins to salvage it."
Li Fan thought so and reached out to grab a chess piece.
Sure enough, a strange feeling came to my mind.
Somehow, I could sense the approximate location of the grey chess piece in the sea of stars.
"There are four of them here."
"There's one on the Xuanxianzhou."
"There are four more in the Great Wall of Continuous Remnant World."
"There are three more. One of them should be located in the Sea of Relics."
"The remaining two..."
A strange look flashed in Li Fan's eyes.
Because he discovered that these two gray chess pieces were actually in the Xuanhuang Realm!
"The world they originally belonged to should have been used by the Heavenly Doctor and the Dharma Transmission to repair the Xuanhuang Realm."
"Watch this place, I'll be back soon." He instructed Master Yin and Baihua. Ignoring their astonishment, the shadow of the wooden sword flashed, and Li Fan had already followed the approximate direction transmitted by the induction and arrived at one of the places first.
It is the bottomless Cangwu Abyss.
The Cangwu Abyss is located in the southwest corner of the Xuanhuang Realm. It is like a huge crack in the Xuanhuang Realm. The depth that has been explored so far has reached 300,000 feet.
There are many strange scenes, things and objects distributed layer by layer inside.
The place, which was once a natural barrier, no longer poses any threat to Li Fan, who can now even roam the starry sea.
Follow the feeling all the way down.
Li Fan looked at the scene floating up to the sky, and suddenly a feeling came to his mind: "The various things in this Cangwu Abyss should come from different, destroyed immortal cultivation worlds. Piled here, it seems like a temporary storage place for various materials in the process of stitching together the Xuanhuang World."
"If anything is missing in the process of repairing the world, you can always get it from here. One day, this Cangwu Abyss will be filled. But by then, perhaps the Xuanhuang Realm will have been reborn."
Li Fan observed the many strange sights in the abyss with great interest.
The closer the abyss is to the ground of Xuanhuang Realm, the greater the influence of Xuanhuang Realm's life force will be. It fuses together various unique landscapes, such as the Forest of Lingyu, the Puppet Room, and the Lost City.
But the deeper you go, the closer the fragments of the world floating around you become to their original appearance.
After the world was destroyed, there was dead silence.
Even on some fragments of the world, there is still some residual power of the true immortal.
"It can almost be considered a small-scale Great Wall of the Remains."
"However, its stability is not as high as that of the real Great Wall of the Remnant Realm. From time to time, the accumulated residual power of the True Immortal will explode..."
“No wonder this place is a restricted area for monks.”
When the sword shadow went downwards, penetrating 530,000 feet into the ground, Li Fan once again sensed the existence of the [Immortal Suppression Power] in the abyss.
"This power to suppress immortals should be the pressure exerted on cultivators who break into the Cangwu Abyss after the Heavenly Doctor imitated the Great Wall of the Remnant Realm."
"To be precise, the momentum of the Cangwu Abyss is rising step by step from top to bottom. Although the height of the rise is extremely limited, and even does not exceed the Xuanhuang Realm by much. But for the cultivators in the abyss, it is extremely obvious."
"Only by reaching the corresponding level of cultivation can one survive safely in the corresponding high-powered abyss layer. Otherwise, it would be like a mortal who strayed into the immortal world and reached a height that did not belong to him, and the only fate would be to be crushed."
Li Fan, who had discovered the mystery of the Cangwu Abyss, had now roughly locked onto the position of the free gray chess pieces here.
Among the scattered ruins of a building that seemed to have been chopped into pieces by thousands of knife marks, Li Fan found the fifth gray chess piece.
It was a majestic stone statue of a Qilin, half-lying quietly on the ground, just like it was when it was destroyed ten thousand years ago.
There is a pair of stone statues, but when Li Fan took a look at the other one, he found it was just ordinary stone.
“It’s really well hidden.”
Li Fan crushed the stone statue and restored it to its chess piece form. Then he looked around.
Based on the appearance of the surrounding ruins, Li Fan also restored the world to which he originally belonged.
"The Seven Evil Realm. There are seven kinds of evil spirits in this realm, spreading all over the world. They can even transform and hurt people. Therefore, outside all the buildings in this realm, there are different beasts of different sizes to absorb and suppress them."
"Back then, it was a fairly large cultivation world. The cultivators in the Seven Evils World were born with evil spirits, and every move they made carried the characteristics of the Seven Evils. Some of them were even extremely talented and possessed all seven..."
"It's a pity that time flies by. Everything has become empty." Li Fan sighed, shook his head slightly, and left.
The other gray chess piece left in the Xuanhuang Realm was buried underground in Tianyun Province.
There was no strange phenomenon happening at that place.
"It should be that with the development of the integration process of Xuanhuang Realm, it was originally in the fragments of other worlds, but now it has completely entered Xuanhuang Realm."
"Just like the fragments from the Heavenly Realm at the bottom of the Congyun Sea. Under normal circumstances, they will evolve and be buried deep under the Congyun Mountain."
Without alarming anyone, Li Fan successfully got it.
So far, Li Fan has collected six gray chess pieces.
Return to the Daqi pulpit and place the six chess pieces together.
As the number approaches half, the influence between these pieces seems to become stronger.
The speed at which they revolve around each other is getting faster and faster.
Li Fan saw that in this high-speed rotation, the lines representing the principles of the world were attracting each other and slowly merging.
And those fragments of the laws of the fairy world slowly approached and completed the puzzle.
Even though it is only 6/13 now, it is enough to support the occurrence of qualitative changes.
The puzzle of the laws of the fairy world is like a hole that suddenly appears in the middle of the ocean.
Those worlds that are in a state of stillness are like calm sea water.
The moment the hole appeared, the sea water rushed in uncontrollably.
The six worlds, like wet and distorted flat paintings, were sucked into the puzzle of fragments of the fairyland's laws like liquid.
According to the template that the puzzle has already been designed, a whole new world is presented.
Blue sky, white clouds, and endless grassland.
It seems like an ordinary grassland scene on earth.
Li Fanyue felt an unprecedented vastness between heaven and earth.
The tender green grass growing vigorously on the ground also contains unimaginable vitality!
"Fairyland?!" Li Fan was shocked when he saw the scene in the fusion chess piece.
"No, it's just a fragment of the fairyland. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe it as a fairyland.
"And this fairyland is not complete yet."
There must obviously be something between the fairyland grassland and the sky.
However, due to the missing seven grey pieces, everything cannot be fully presented.
Li Fan stared at the scene in his eyes, feeling a sudden sense of regret.
It was as if I had broken a rare treasure with my own hands, and the emotions of being eager to repair it burst out uncontrollably from all over my mind.
If Li Fan had not been protected by the Immortal Heart Mantra and had not experienced too many similar things, he would have lost control and immediately chased after the remaining chess pieces.
But now, Li Fan ignored this temptation.
As the fusion was completed, only one chess piece remained on the field. It was no longer the gray color as before, but was flashing with colorful light from time to time. It even expanded in size.
Li Fan reached out and solemnly put away the six-in-one chess piece.
"Um?"
What Li Fan didn't expect was that the moment he took the chess piece into his body, he felt as if he was being pressed down by countless mountains.
Caught off guard, his body suddenly fell down a few points.
Fortunately, he reacted and the power of Xuanhuang World Destruction was revived and circulated, providing a continuous supply of power. This is how he was able to bear it.
"Is this... the weight of the fairy world?"
"It's just a broken fragment of the fairyland, is it so hard for me to carry it?"
"I'm afraid that after the thirteen fragments gather and merge into the real fairyland, I won't be able to handle it with my current cultivation level!"
Li Fan once again felt the terrifying difference between immortals and mortals.
But at the same time, he was not surprised but happy.
"I'm worried that after ascending to the Xuanhuang Realm, I won't be able to find an anchor point that can support that state."
"Now it seems that if we integrate this fairyland into the Xuanhuang Realm, we will definitely be able to adapt and will not fall easily."
"With this fairyland as the core, the Xuanhuang Realm may be able to climb even higher!"
"God is really helping me!" Li Fan couldn't help but feel excited.
But soon, he instinctively began to doubt the origins of these fairyland fragments.
