Chapter 700: Life and Death Moving Forward
The sophistication of this formation is not even inferior to the [Tianxuan Locking Soul Formation] that Li Fan learned in his previous life.
Even though he and Huangfu Song both had great attainments in formations, it took them a long time, after much discussion, before they could barely understand the formation.
Of course, it's just understanding.
As for how the formation works and how the dead energy and life energy are transformed, it is somewhat beyond their understanding.
"Going against the principles of life and death..."
"The culprit behind Lan Yu's failure in attaining enlightenment and the cultivator who walked out of the white fog, seemingly dead but alive, are they related to the formation here?" Li Fan was extremely shocked.
Huangfu Song was muttering to himself: "When you die, your body dies and your spirit disappears. How can you be resurrected after death? Inconceivable, inconceivable..."
Looking at the two companions beside him, they seemed to be possessed and did not wake up for a long time. Dongfang Yao, who knew nothing about formations, was annoyed and anxious.
Finally, he couldn't help but shout angrily and woke them up.
"You two have been studying this for so long, do you have any conclusion?" he asked with a frown.
Huangfu Song shook his head and answered decisively: "In my opinion, even if Chief Lu of our Strategy Hall came in person, he might not be able to set up this formation. Such a grand formation is actually unknown to the world and is quietly hidden in the white fog..."
A trace of panic flashed across his face: "It seems that we have mistakenly entered the arrangement of a powerful person who is [Proving the Way of Immortality]."
"There are countless mazes in the white fog, but we happened to encounter one that contains this formation. I really don't know whether it is lucky or unfortunate." Huangfu Song said with a sad face.
"Perhaps, it's not a coincidence. What if there is more than one maze with this formation?" Li Fan suddenly said.
Huangfu Song was stunned when he heard this. Then he was horrified and dared not say anything.
Li Fan actually had many things to say.
He found this mysterious area by following the source of the sound after hearing the murmurs that sounded like those of the "Heavenly Doctor".
In this maze, there is a formation that can reverse life and death. In the previous life, a cultivator successfully reversed the principle of life and death and became a new immortal.
Putting all of this together, it seems logical to deduce that it was the [Tian Yi] who was directing all of this behind the scenes.
It was also him who was promoted to the Immortal Lord of Longevity soon after.
but……
Li Fan still had some doubts in his heart.
Logically speaking, the formation in this maze is the key to the immortality of the [Heavenly Doctor]. Such an important place should not allow for any mistakes. How could Li Fan and others break in so easily?
"This completely defenseless look..."
"Is it a trap? Or does the owner of this place not care much about this formation? Or, is he absolutely confident that even if someone accidentally enters, they will not be able to damage the foundation of the formation?"
Li Fan suddenly remembered his small wooden house on the top of Daxuanjieli Mountain.
That was the place where he rested and practiced while waiting for his energy to be fully charged. Just like this maze, there was no formation protection.
It's just that a layer of illusion was set up outside Jieli Mountain to prevent mortals from entering by mistake.
Because Li Fan thought that there was no need.
"I look upon mortals as He looks upon monks?"
"Is it the Heavenly Doctor?"
Li Fan couldn't be sure either.
But Li Fan asked himself, even if he was just facing a mortal, if it was related to his promotion, then out of caution, he would definitely make arrangements just in case.
“But He didn’t do that…”
Just when Li Fan was full of confusion, Dongfang Yao's words inadvertently woke him up.
"Brother Huangfu, I think what you said is a little wrong. Although I don't understand what is so wonderful about this formation, but you said it can reverse life and death, then the senior who set up this formation, can't he do this better?"
"After all, if you don't understand the principles, how can you set up a formation? Being able to go against the principles of life and death, this must be the method of the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, right? Why have I never heard of the name of this Heavenly Venerable?"
Li Fan suddenly understood: "Yes. I previously thought that the owner of this place wanted to use this formation to achieve the principle of reversing life and death. But it is also possible that he himself has already been able to do this. Then here..."
Li Fan looked around.
"It's not a place to prove the truth. It's a testing ground after you've achieved the truth!"
Li Fan's thoughts raced.
"After achieving immortality, the laws of heaven and earth also changed. Logically speaking, in a moment, these frozen monks could be resurrected from the dead. But they had to go through the trouble of setting up another formation..."
"What is He still researching? Is it not enough to achieve immortality? Does He want to go one step further?"
Li Fan turned his gaze to the center of the formation that he had found before, the formation that reversed life and death.
“Perhaps, the answer lies there.”
Li Fan said in a deep voice: "This senior, I'm afraid he has already achieved the Immortal Heavenly Venerable. This place has been abandoned by him, so we can break in so easily. It shouldn't be dangerous to leave from the center of the formation. Let's leave quickly."
Having said that, without waiting for Huangfu and the other two to react, he flew towards the center of the formation.
Huangfu Song and Dongfang Yao were slightly stunned when they heard this, but they felt that what Li Fan said made sense, so they hurried to follow.
Soon, they arrived at the center of the formation, where the death energy was the thickest.
The strange beast in the dead black sea just now disappeared here.
"Brother Li, would you like to reconsider this?" Huangfu Song looked at the black sea water below and couldn't help feeling a little scared.
Li Fan stared at the 200% charging progress on Huanzhen's panel, shook his head and said, "If you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. We have already explored this place thoroughly, and it will be useless to stay any longer. Could it be that you still want to understand this life-and-death reversal formation and then break out of it? Instead of waiting to die, why not give it a try!"
After saying this, an extremely rich wood-attributed spiritual energy surrounded his body.
"Follow me closely!" Li Fan shouted coldly and plunged into the Dead Sea.
Seeing that things had come to this point, Huangfu and Dongfang had no choice but to grit their teeth and follow.
As soon as he entered the sea, an unimaginable dead silence swept in from all around him. It was like countless worms gnawing and sucking Li Fan's vitality. This feeling was very similar to the Yuan-devouring White Mist.
Li Fan, who had personally experienced the end of his life in the white fog, was no stranger to this.
He was not panicked at all. He took out five elixirs in one breath and threw them into his mouth.
When the medicinal effect burst out, Li Fan forced the immortality contained in the elixir out of his body, forming a layer of protective shield to resist the erosion of death energy.
He used his escape technique to its full potential, diving rapidly into the pitch-black seabed.
In just a few breaths, they were almost reaching the bottom of the sea.
Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if sensing the existence of a miniature vortex in front of him.
In the vortex, a glimmer of life suddenly appeared.
"That's it!"
Li Fan concentrated his mind, transformed into a ray of light, and rushed into the vortex.
The next moment...
After a slight feeling of dizziness, light suddenly appeared before my eyes.
The slightly tipsy sea breeze, the salty and humid air, and the occasional chirping of birds...
After Li Fan was able to see the scenery clearly, he had already arrived at a blue ocean.
Full of vitality.
