Chapter 1690: Enlightenment Between Reality and Illusion
"At this point in time, the path to immortality is still there. After achieving the state of unity, one will become an immortal."
Even if it is just a state of virtual and real coexistence of mountains and seas, what should exist will still exist.
Standing on the top of the sacred tree, Li Fan faintly sensed the breath of the fairyland that was within reach. It seemed that as long as he worked harder, he would be able to ascend.
"The restrictions are indeed not as strong as they were later. It is really possible to become an immortal."
"Unfortunately, as the immortal realms were destroyed one after another, the frightened immortals placed more and more hope on the lower world test site in order to find a way to survive."
"This is why all the creatures in Lan Ke Dojo, except those with backgrounds, originally from the immortal world, or those who were chosen, have no chance of ascending successfully. Even if their strength and realm are sufficient, what greets them is only endless thunder."
"But then again. Lan Ke Dojo, especially Xuan Huang Realm, is a real treasure land that many Wu Ming are vying to come to. I wonder how those who have tried their best to ascend and leave would feel if they knew the truth."
Li Fan stood on the sacred tree, thinking so, and took a deep breath slowly.
The lives and cultivation of hundreds of thousands of Shenmu Sect monks were mobilized again, slowly turning into feedback cultivation in Li Fan's body.
Although it is already the pinnacle of the mundane world, the realm has reached its limit.
But the interest that should be collected must be collected without stopping. Bit by bit, it is stored in Li Fan's Dantian in the form of a phantom, in case of emergency.
"Let nature take its course. Only by using the power of the mountain and sea itself, which was born in this phantom mountain and sea, to control it will it not cause alarm."
“However… with only the cultivation level of He Dao, it is a bit difficult to reproduce everything that Ming Shu once did.”
"It's time to take the next step."
Although the Shenmu Sect also has Hedao monks, Hedao and Hedao are not the same. Li Fan stepped on the Shenmu tree for a long time in broad daylight, and no one could find it.
Even the sacred tree itself was unaware of it.
Li Fan's figure flashed, and in an instant, he took a hundred steps on the top of the sacred tree.
It was as if a mysterious formation had been formed.
At the same time, the aura of hundreds of thousands of Divine Tree cultivators below was also aroused and rolled towards Li Fan.
It circled and entwined around the trunk of the sacred tree.
It was like countless ropes intertwined, all converging in Li Fan's hands.
"go!"
With Li Fan's gentle shout, these ropes were connected to the light shadows left behind before.
"The monks sit on the sacred trees to benefit from the merits of sitting on the mountain."
"The strength of the sacred tree is tens of millions of times stronger than that of a cultivator. Therefore, it can ignore the burden of the cultivator and can even help them grow while growing. However..."
"The weight of this monk has passed through my hands. You may not be able to bear it."
Li Fan's eyes darkened slightly, and he used the hundreds of thousands of cultivators under his control as a lever and pressed down lightly.
“Crunch…”
An invisible huge force was instantly applied to the body of the sacred tree.
From the outside, everything seemed normal. Even the leaves of the sacred tree did not flutter too much.
However, in reality, the sacred tree casts shade over an area of 30,000 miles, as well as the mountains and rivers below it.
They were all lightly pressed down an inch by Li Fan.
Li Fan did not want to damage the power of the mountain. He just wanted to test the limit of his current strength.
After achieving his goal this time, he quickly stopped.
"From what I have seen and heard, one can actually walk into the mountains and seas and become an immortal right away without the guidance of the higher realms."
"But in this era, no true immortals were born. If the virtual image is inconsistent with the real mountains and seas to a certain extent, the virtual image of the mountains and seas will not reappear."
"It is indeed very troublesome to use ordinary power to perform transcendental tasks. There are indeed many restrictions. I am afraid that only the saints can do it."
Li Fan’s response was also very simple.
Since it is impossible to solve the problem by creating external force out of thin air, then just use the immortal power that already exists in the Xuanhuang Realm.
"No matter what happens in the middle, as long as the beginning remains unchanged, the ending will remain unchanged. During this period, there will be no external force involved."
"Then the phantom can be resurrected."
The first thing Li Fan had to do was to intercept the immortal power lingering around the sacred tree.
The sacred tree came from outside the world and was implanted into the Xuanhuang world by the True Immortals from the upper world. There is no doubt about this.
It’s just that the methods of this unknown immortal are extremely clever.
This connection is vague and not very obvious.
Even with Li Fan's cultivation level of He Dao, he was unable to sense the faint connection between the sacred tree and the distant fairyland.
But now, with the help of hundreds of thousands of monks, the sacred tree can be completely suppressed.
After careful observation, he finally found the clue.
“This connection is not in the leaves or branches, nor in the trunk. It is in the roots.”
Li Fan swept his mind over and found signs of the sacred tree's connection with the fairy world among the extremely intricate roots that were rooted in the earth veins and spread over a million miles in radius.
"The one on the other side is also an unknown True Immortal. He is extremely cautious, fearing that his covetousness for the Xuanhuang Realm will be exposed. The immortal power he can mobilize is extremely limited..."
"As a start, it's enough."
A gleam of light flashed in Li Fan's eyes, and he pressed his hands lightly, suppressing the sacred tree again while re-combing its roots.
In an instant, billions of veins, like dancing dragons, were split and reassembled underground.
Slowly, as the earth veins surged, an array woven by the roots of the sacred tree suddenly took shape.
Li Fan's mind moved, and a shadow of himself was created, jumping in and sitting in it.
At this point, the power of the sacred tree has been completely intercepted.
The life or death of the sacred tree was also determined by his thoughts. He could easily suppress it without even relying on the power of the hundreds of thousands of cultivators under his control.
The divine tree only grew into a towering tower when it received a faint wisp of immortal power transmitted from the upper realm.
However, when Li Fan obtained it, he was able to turn decay into magic.
Burst out a thousand times the power.
"Next, it's the immortal weapons left by the various sects."
Being able to intercept immortal power, although "Li Bufan" has only reached the level of Taoist cultivation, he is actually no different from a true immortal.
It is also easy to suppress and subdue a group of immortal weapons silently.
Even though the immortal weapons are still stored in various sects, they have actually changed owners in secret.
After the fairyland, there is the Xuanhuang Realm protective formation.
At this time point, the ancient immortal formation is well preserved. The power it can mobilize is even greater than the immortal artifacts preserved by various sects.
After some transformation of the ancient immortal formation, Li Fan also stole its immortal power and used it for his own purposes.
Then, Li Fan searched carefully on the Xuanhuang land.
Everything that can be used is ruthlessly taken into one's own pocket.
The Xuanhuang Realm seemed calm and there was no change on the surface.
In fact, the world inside has already been turned upside down and changed.
As time passed, Li Fan finally reached the first critical node of Shanhai Memory.
This day was the day when the life hub suddenly appeared in the phantom's memory.
The rolling black air enveloped Li Fan.
He took a step out of the body of "Li Bufan" and arrived at the place where the Life Hub should have appeared.
The movements and expressions are exactly the same as in Shanhai's memory.
I was a little embarrassed at first, but then I was surprised and delighted.
Then he sat cross-legged and laid out the net.
"This position is more suitable for me."
Sitting high above the Xuanhuang Realm and overlooking the countless living beings below, Li Fan couldn't help but think happily.
Although it is located in this area, it is not the exact center of Xuanhuang.
However, the power he controls is already densely packed and occupies every corner of the Xuanhuang Realm.
When he sat here, this place had become the absolute center of the Xuanhuang Realm!
Every move changes the Xuanhuang Realm.
The situation is just like the life pivot recorded by the mountains and seas.
Suddenly, the invisible net has been woven!
Outside the virtual world, on the other side. Li Fan observed and found that at this moment, the virtual image of the mountain and the sea seemed to be more solid.
The scenes derived from the phantom memories perfectly inherited what actually happened in the mountains and seas.
It was as if I was experiencing everything that happened again, and the changes between reality and illusion began to flow.
After being frozen for a moment, the light and shadow flickered again, but it was undoubtedly much more stable.
Naturally, this change did not escape the attention of the saints on the other side.
"Fellow Daoist Xuanpin, you have made rapid progress." Fangcun said in surprise, "I was thinking of taking care of you more."
"Let me watch. Hmm... Fellow Daoist Xuanpin seems to be very familiar with the methods he uses?" Bai Xiao also looked at Li Fan in surprise.
Li Fan remained calm: "Every time I cross the river from the end of the mountain to the sea, I suffer heavy losses and have to start over. Practice makes perfect."
The saints nodded slightly but did not comment.
In any case, what Li Fan did was indeed beneficial to the Avengers of Shanhai.
"Looks like I need to speed up." Jin Gui laughed and looked away from Li Fan.
The other side fell into silence again.
Virtual mountains and seas, within the Xuanhuang Realm.
With the establishment of the first key memory node, the whole world seemed to become more real.
At the very least, the flowing immortal power that Li Fan controlled was almost the same as what he had seen in the real mountains and seas.
"True and false, imaginary and real. How do we define them?"
"After the mountain and sea were swallowed by the star, they were revived by Huanzhen's thought. How did this happen?"
Only by being between reality and illusion can one better sense the principles of illusion and reality.
Although he was sitting still, Li Fan's understanding of it was increasing day by day.
Soon after, another critical node arrived.
In the southeast corner of Xuanhuang Realm, a hidden light lit up.
It turned out to be a true immortal from the upper realm who had sneaked here.
The True Immortal thought his whereabouts were secret, but he didn't expect that his every move and every word were all under the control of Li Fan.
"How can one be truly free and unrestrained when one is caught in a disaster?"
The light and shadow gradually dimmed, and the true immortal revealed his true appearance. He looked towards the direction of the immortal world, shook his head slightly and sighed.
Perhaps because it was a solid memory, the scene created by the mountains and the sea at this moment was clearer than what Li Fan had seen from afar on the other side before.
The face that was previously impossible to see can now be seen clearly.
Li Fan had also seen this true immortal.
It is the Lord of the Hungry Immortal, [Wuwei]!
At this moment, he walked slowly towards the fishing pond.
Obviously, the location of this mountain and sea fishing ground had been known for a long time.
He seemed to be enjoying the process of escaping and was not in a hurry to move on. Instead, he looked around as he walked.
"After being caged for so long, I finally get back to nature..."
He hummed softly, feeling contented.
But slowly, the ease on his face gradually disappeared.
Instead, there was an incomparable solemnity.
“This place…”
"Something seems wrong."
He stopped singing and looked a little panicked, not caring to look around anymore. He quickly quickened his pace and came to the fishing pond.
As if prepared, he cast the fishing rod lightly.
He didn't even sit down, but just stood there, waiting to be hooked.
Soon, the water in the fishing pond began to vibrate slightly. Ripples gradually appeared, and a huge force came from under the water.
Xiaoyao was not surprised but happy. He fell into the pool without any resistance.
Disappeared.
In the Shanhai fishing ground, the water surface gradually returned to calm.
On the other hand, I don’t know what happened.
As a result, the passage on the Xuanhuang Realm side was gradually closed.
At this moment, just as Mingshu did in real history, Li Fan took action.
Stars are shining everywhere in the Xuanhuang Realm.
This is because Li Fan has already exerted the power he can mobilize to the limit.
Behind the fishing pond, there is a saint faintly visible.
Although the real saint cannot be manifested in the virtual mountain and sea, the mountain and sea will use its instinctive memory to simulate the saint's power as much as possible. Li Fan did not dare to be careless.
The facts turned out to be just as he expected.
When he tried to prevent the closure of the Shanhai fishing ground, an incredible pulling force suddenly came from under the water.
Li Fan, who was sitting cross-legged in the air, almost couldn't keep his balance.
Fortunately, he was well prepared.
The roots of the sacred tree are deeply rooted in the Xuanhuang earth veins; the immortal artifacts in the world are entangled with the fortunes of various sects; the ancient immortal formation is even more integrated with Xuanhuang.
At this moment, they all turned into Li Fan's tentacles.
The silk threads entangled together helped Li Fan stabilize his body.
But the pulling force coming from the fishing pond was beyond Li Fan's imagination.
After being obstructed, it increased instead of decreased.
It seems like he won't give up until he catches the big fish, Li Fan!
Because Li Fan is now deeply bound to the Xuanhuang Realm. Therefore, in fact, the entire Xuanhuang Realm, and even the original possibility, are slowly being pulled into the fishing pond!
No matter how much preparation he made, all of Li Fan's arrangements depended on everything in the Xuanhuang Realm.
This is determined by the limitations of the phantom memory itself.
But how can one contend with such a tremendous force?
Unstoppable, he fell inch by inch into the fishing pond.
What happened in the phantom's memory began to deviate from the real mountains and seas.
The whole world, at this moment, seemed to be covered with a different color. It became weird and strange.
No living creature in the world can perceive it.
The saints on the other side saw the accident happen at the first moment.
If Li Fan fails here, all the saints' efforts to reunite will fail.
In an emergency, the Lianshan Saint made a prompt decision and gave instructions through voice transmission: "Don't fight with them. Since they are weak, there may be a chance for a turnaround!"
Li Fanfu's mind was filled with emotion, and he immediately took back some of his strength.
But they did not give up resistance completely.
Because of the sudden reversal of the stalemate, the Xuanhuang Realm seemed to fall slightly into the pool of water.
The pond area remains the same, but it looks deeper.
What was strange was that as Li Fan loosened his grip, the force coming from the Shanhai Fishery also weakened.
After a few more pulls and confirmation that this was not a "big fish", he lost interest.
Then he gave up traction completely.
