Chapter 1682 The Order of Saints
"To cross the river, in addition to adhering to the original intention of the path and maintaining the foundation of one's own survival, the most important thing is to [distinguish between the past and the present]."
The one who taught the new saints was the phantom of the Lianshan Saint.
"To maintain the foundation of one's own existence is to fight against the Dao of the Void Realm. To distinguish between the past and the present, what does this mean?" The newly promoted saint was puzzled.
"In the eternally silent world, it is a vast expanse of darkness. There are not only two directions, ancient and present. Present refers to the direction we came from. Ancient is our destination. And the other places..."
"Endless and infinite. If you go in the wrong direction at the beginning, even if you have divine power and can persist for tens of millions of years under the erosion of the virtual world, all you can see is nothingness." Saint Lianshan waved his hand lightly and worked together with Saint Guihai to show the darkness to the saints.
Covered by a dark cloud, Li Fan felt that his senses were being taken away, and the figures of the saints around him disappeared one after another. It was as if he had really fallen into an endless void.
The meaning of nothingness and death will even slowly erode the foundation of one's own existence.
It is vast and boundless.
Up and down, in all directions, and even between others and oneself, nothing can be distinguished.
Not to mention the others!
Where is the past? Where is the present?
Not to mention traveling across, going to a longer time ago.
Even returning to the mountains and seas just left has become a problem!
"This is just a simulation of the two holy places of Lianshan and Guihai..."
"The real eternal and silent world is so terrifying." Li Fan felt heavy in his heart.
Although he had crossed it before, he went downstream until the end of the mountains and sea. The most important thing was that he could accurately point out the direction by relying on the connection between Qiu Xinhui's imaginary replica and the original body. He didn't worry about getting lost at all.
But now that there are no forward positioning landmarks, the difficulty is very different.
Soon, the two saints dispersed the simulated virtual world darkness. The newly promoted saints who reappeared their images all had solemn expressions like Li Fan.
"You don't have to worry too much. There is no road in the virtual world, and the strong are the landmark. In the real and eternal virtual world, our original bodies have long existed. It's like a knot on a rope. You only need to use the nearest fellow saint as an anchor." Taiyi's phantom spoke to comfort him.
"According to our past calculations, in order to reconnect us with the previous section of mountains and seas and communicate across the long virtual world, at least thirteen saints will be needed to work together. However, that is the most extreme situation, and no mistakes can be made. If there is any accident, not only will all the previous efforts be wasted, but the thirteen saints may also be in danger of perishing."
"So, we have been making preparations and have not really started to act. But now, with the good fortune sent by Fellow Daoist Xuanpin..."
"With the addition of the six new saints, although it is not foolproof, the risk is indeed much smaller." Shouqiu looked at Li Fan and said slowly.
"On the road of vain, those who are successful are in front. Before you actually enter the world of eternal silence, you must first discuss the order of precedence. The latter must follow the former closely, without the slightest mistake. Otherwise, if you make a mistake in one step, all steps will be wrong." The shadow of Yepan said very seriously.
"Now, the order of the nine of us in the virtual world has been determined. The oldest and the one in front is Lianshan. Then there are Guihai, Taiyi, Daoji, Guiming, Duanchen, Shouqiu..."
"Me, and Xingcha."
"As for how you should rank them, perhaps we can have a competition first."
The six newly promoted saints looked at each other, and most of them showed an eagerness to try.
"If we use real swords and guns, it is bound to hurt the harmony. Why not follow our old method and separate out a virtual shadow each in this [Xuan Ji Ring]?" Before the Saint Lord Lianshan finished speaking, the white circle on the other side had already shone brightly.
In the shining light, the six newly promoted saints were watched by the nine saints on the other side.
"Haha, I've had this idea for a long time!" The first one to respond was Jin Gui.
As its shadow flew in, the remaining saints had no choice but to accept.
In an instant, each of them separated into virtual shadows and entered the Xuan Ji Ring.
"In the Xuanji Ring, one can see the big picture from the small details."
"If you get one, you will see the whole. If you want to hide your shortcomings, I'm afraid it won't work." It was not until all the saints were present that Lord Shouqiu spoke happily.
Upon hearing this, the six newly promoted saints remained expressionless and nodded in response.
The white circle shines like a battlefield.
The saints were thrown into the shadows, like a speck of light.
In the Xuanji Ring, time seemed to be accelerated countless times.
At every moment, the holy light points are colliding violently.
In the realm of saints, even if it is just a differentiated shadow, it will take a long battle to decide the winner.
The Xuanji Ring accelerates this process.
Not long after, under the gaze of the saints, the first spot of light completely dimmed and was defeated.
Looking closely, it was [Xuanpin].
Li Fan showed a helpless look on his face and shook his head slightly: "It's a pity that he hasn't recovered from his serious injury yet."
Xuanpin was the main source of the mountain and sea, and he had just returned to his saintly strength after crossing from the end of the mountain and sea. His strength was the weakest, which was also within the expectations of the saints.
As long as he has the ability to infuse true spirit, the saints will not care even if he is just an ordinary mortal.
The next ones to be eliminated were [Fang Cun] and [Tai Qi].
As for the last three saints, they were locked in a fierce battle.
In the Xuanji Ring, the black and white energies were crisscrossed, sometimes close and sometimes far away, sometimes separated and sometimes combined. When separated, they were sharp and aggressive. When combined, they were mixed as one, impeccable.
In contrast, a single flame split into millions, forming a strange gray fire all over the sky. In the gray sea of fire, each flame seemed to have its own consciousness. Even if it was destroyed, it could be reborn from nothingness quickly. It was inexhaustible, and the more it was extinguished, the stronger it became.
Black and white and gray are fighting against each other. Neither of them is outshined.
Outside of them, there are shadows lurking. Sometimes they transform into black and white energy, ambushing the gray flames. Sometimes they become embers returning to the fire, striking hard at the flowing Tai Chi.
If Daode and Jingui attack at the same time, Shadow will fight back. Shadows are continuous, and even a one-on-two situation can still be undefeated.
The three of them were struggling, and even though the Xuanji Ring accelerated again and again, it was difficult to achieve an outcome in a short time.
"Surprisingly, they are evenly matched. This result is really interesting." The shadow of Ye Pan shook his head and chuckled.
"His fate has its own reasons." The Sage of Destiny said this suddenly.
The smile on Ye Pan's face suddenly froze, and then he looked thoughtful.
"I was thinking of just letting it go. But since you said so, let's wait a little longer until they have decided the winner."
When Li Fan heard the conversation between Gui Ming and Ye Pan, he was secretly thinking in his heart.
The field fell into a strange silence, only in the Xuan Ji circle, the light kept flickering.
After an unknown amount of time, the balance between the three was finally broken.
But it was the phantom of [Bai Xiao] who shouted, "No fun!"
Then he took the initiative to jump out of the Xuan Ji circle, and the shadow dissipated and ceased to exist.
Bai Xiao himself did not find it strange. He even showed an admiring expression of "As expected of me".
The remaining morality and the return of the ashes are ultimately perfect morality and are superior.
At this point, the strengths of the six new saints have been determined.
Li Fan suddenly said, "Six of us, do you want to compete with the Taoist friend in front of you again?"
"That's not necessary."
It was Xingcha who spoke first.
A wooden boat loaded with starlight gently sailed into the Xuanji Ring.
The starlight exploded violently, like billions of stars shining at the same time.
Swallowed everything in an instant.
The two energies of black and white morality transform into Tai Chi and keep rotating.
Trying to resist the destruction of starlight.
But it was all in vain.
Eventually it was annihilated by the starlight.
The strongest among the new six saints was easily defeated by Xingcha.
Witnessing this scene, the Six Saints fell silent.
