Chapter 55: Death and Rebirth
Half a month later, a simple seawater desalination array was built.
Having enough drinking water and food again, the surviving residents of Tai'an Island kowtowed and knelt to thank the immortal master for saving their lives.
Li Fan was not so happy in his heart, but rather a little worried.
After building a magic circle with his own hands, Li Fan finally embarked on the path of formation.
Only then did he discover that the Tai'an Island's protective formation was being damaged at an extremely abnormal rate.
Generally speaking, an island protection formation can often continue to operate for hundreds of years.
But if the formation continues to deteriorate at its current rate, it will completely lose its effectiveness in two or three years.
After careful investigation and combining it with the description in "Introduction to Formation", Li Fan found the reason why the formation was damaged.
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth became extremely violent and fierce.
This blazing spiritual energy seemed to have its own will. After being absorbed by the island protection formation, it began to slowly erode the key nodes in the formation.
The island protection formation is now like a machine whose key parts are slowly rusting. Every time it runs, its life span is reduced by one point.
The cause was found, but Li Fan had no good way to save the situation.
The island protection formation is too complicated, with more than 10,000 key nodes, and each node is often composed of dozens of micro magic arrays.
It is said that when it was first built, it was jointly constructed by several Yuanying realm formation masters from the Wanxian League.
There was a problem at the moment, which was not something that Li Fan, a cultivator who had just started practicing, could solve.
Moreover, the main cause of the problem lies in the spiritual energy absorbed by the formation.
Even if the magic circle is repaired temporarily, as long as the nature of the violent spiritual energy in the outside world remains unchanged, it can only be regarded as drinking poison to quench thirst.
"Staying on Tai'an Island is just waiting for death. We must find a way to leave here."
"But I don't know what happened in the outside world. The violent spiritual energy is rampant. Going out rashly will lead to death."
Caught between a rock and a hard place, it seemed as if he was in a dead end for a moment.
"Is this the murderous intent sent from heaven..." Li Fan stared at the sky outside the island protection formation, feeling like a flying insect caught in a spider web, unable to move and struggling to death.
But Li Fan did not directly choose [Zhenzhen].
[Zhen Zhen] Not only will it take more than ten years of recharging time to go back, but if I don't figure out what happened, I will most likely die next time.
Even if we escape far away from Congyun Sea, can we guarantee that we won't encounter new crises?
You must know that the malice of the world's heaven towards cultivators is everywhere.
Li Fan didn't think he could avoid it by changing places.
Therefore, he would not choose to give up this life unless it was absolutely necessary.
For the next period of time, Li Fan continued to practice while looking for ways to break the impasse.
However, the violent spiritual energy from the outside world not only showed no sign of calming down, but became more violent as time passed.
The island protection formation became precarious under its destruction.
It could collapse at any time.
"Is there no other way?" Li Fan felt helpless.
He was really unwilling to end his life in such an unclear way.
But there doesn't seem to be any other choice.
“Really!”
Li Fan took one last reluctant look at Tai'an Island, exhaled [Zhenzhen], and prepared to end this life.
Just then, he stopped.
Because, looking at the mortals below who were gradually recovering their vitality, Li Fan suddenly thought that the violent spiritual energy from the outside world did not seem to be aimed at mortals.
According to the descriptions of the mortals on the island, the weather outside the island protection formation was just a little hot, but there was no special danger other than that.
"The murderous intent of heaven and earth is only aimed at immortal cultivators. Mortals should be fine."
If I could get rid of all my magical powers and temporarily become a mortal again, wouldn't I be able to survive?
Li Fan thought of "Tai Shang Yuan Shi Zhen Jing".
With this miraculous skill, he would not lose much of his cultivation if he changed his skills and started over. As long as he found a safe place, he would be able to return to his original state in no time.
"Is this what they call risking one's life in order to survive?" Li Fan couldn't help but feel happy when he thought of the solution.
Afterwards, he naturally had more considerations.
He is currently practicing two techniques.
One is the "Xiao Yan Shui Jue" exchanged in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, and the other is the "Qian Ji Yu Huan Jin Zhang" of the ancient Tian Ji Sect.
One is the new law and the other is the old law.
The new way of practicing is to plunder the heavens and the earth.
It is precisely because of this that it arouses the ill will of heaven and earth.
Today, the world is filled with murderous intentions, and the target is the immortal cultivators who practice new methods.
What if I just disperse the "Xiao Yan Shui Jue" and retain the realm of "Qian Ji Yu Huan Jin Zhang"?
Then wouldn’t the chance of killing between heaven and earth be any smaller?
Li Fan is a decisive person.
The formation could collapse at any time, so he acted decisively, let the spiritual energy in his body flow, and started practicing the "Tai Shang Yuan Shi Zhen Jing".
"The Supreme One is nameless, returning to the origin..."
As the technique was practiced, the water-attributed spiritual energy obtained from practicing "Xiao Yan Shui Jue" slowly dissipated like ice and snow, transforming into a pure energy that lingered in Li Fan's dantian.
However, in less than half a day, "Xiao Yan Shui Jue" had been completely dissipated.
But Li Fan didn't feel any discomfort.
"This "Tai Shang Yuan Shi Zhen Jing" is indeed magical." Li Fan exclaimed and flew to the edge of the island protection formation.
"Sure enough, this method works!"
Li Fan felt happy when he felt that the murderous intent that permeated the outside world suddenly weakened.
"It's a pity that the Thousand Machines Jade World Gold Chapter is still practiced in the modern way of plundering the heavens and the earth. Although it may be due to the purpose of the practice, the malice of heaven and earth is much smaller than before, but it has not completely dissipated after all."
Realizing that his life would still be in danger if he went out now, Li Fan hardened his heart and chose to continue dispersing his power.
Soon, there was another stream of pure energy in Dantian.
The two energies were originally transformed by different skills, but now they can be integrated into one without any conflict.
"According to the description in the Taishang Yuanshi Zhenjing, the pure energy obtained from the transformation of energy can be maintained in the Dantian for about a hundred years." Li Fan's realm at this time has returned to that of a mortal.
But he wasn't particularly worried.
"As long as we return to Wanxian Island, we will be able to practice again soon."
Li Fan no longer hesitated and drove the Tai Yan Boat slowly out of the island protection formation.
The violent and fiery spiritual energy raged, dyeing the distant sky orange and red.
But Li Fan was already a mortal, and the raging spiritual energy in the sky just whizzed past without launching an attack.
Li Fan breathed a sigh of relief, selected a direction, increased the speed of Tai Yan Zhou to the maximum, and flew towards Wanxian Island.
On the way, Li Fan passed by many islands.
All the mortals on these islands were killed, and there was no sign of life left.
Li Fan was secretly shocked.
The pace of travel is getting faster and faster.
Three months later.
Li Fan came to the original location of Wanxian Island.
He opened the map and checked it four or five times, but still couldn't believe his eyes.
The once huge Wanxian Island has completely disappeared.
Only a huge black hole remained, stretching empty across the ocean.
