Chapter 803 What is an Immortal?
In the afterglow of the setting sun, a crazy old man in shabby clothes was lying on the big bluestone. Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. He looked at the bloody setting sun on the horizon with nostalgia and sadness.
Not far away, Ye Fan stood there in astonishment.
After being stunned for a while, Ye Fan whispered: "Senior, what should I do?"
Li Yun smiled and said: "Go up and get in touch. Don't worry, he can't hurt you as long as I'm here."
After receiving Li Yun's promise, Ye Fan calmed down and stepped forward cautiously.
The old madman noticed Mark's presence, raised his head and glanced at him, and then turned his gaze to the setting sun.
"That year...the setting sun was like blood, and Tianxuan was stained with blood...all things withered, and Tianxuan fell..."
The old madman stared at the sunset, crying and murmuring.
Ye Fan didn't hear it clearly, but he could still understand the general meaning.
He comforted the old madman with a few words, but the old madman turned a deaf ear.
Until the sunset completely sank into the horizon, the old madman suddenly sat up. Two dazzling rays of light burst out in his eyes. The sadness on his old face disappeared, and his whole figure was like a sharp knife unsheathed, with its sharp edge revealed.
There was silence above the mountains, and all the birds and beasts were trembling and trembling.
Ye Fan also noticed a strong oppressive force. If his body had not been tempered by the demon emperor's hard work, he would have been crushed by this terrifying aura.
Then, in Ye Fan's shocked eyes, the old madman grabbed his arm and looked at him deeply.
"You...have their breath..."
Ye Fan came to his senses with a jolt and quickly called Li Yun's name in his heart.
The next second, a powerful aura that was as hot as the blazing sun burst out from Ye Fan's body.
The collision of two powerful breaths shocked the old madman. He suddenly let go of Ye Fan's arm, and using mysterious footwork, he opened a distance of hundreds of meters in an instant.
"Fellow Taoist, please stay..."
A long voice came from Ye Fan's body.
The old madman frowned tightly and looked solemnly at the location of Ye Fan's sea of suffering.
Then, under Ye Fan's nervous eyes, Li Yun's spiritual thoughts came out of his body and began to communicate with the old madman hundreds of meters away.
After a while, the two seemed to have reached an agreement. Li Yun's mind shrank back into Ye Fan's sea of suffering, and the old madman once again used a method similar to shrinking into an inch, and instantly came to Ye Fan.
The old madman waved his hand, and Ye Fan's body suddenly bloomed with brilliance.
In an instant, an extremely realistic virtual image appeared on the mountain.
That was a scene that Ye Fan had seen in the ancient forbidden land. Among them were the once unparalleled Saint Tianxuan, the numerous bones scattered all over the mountains, and the past scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood...
Seeing this scene, the old madman looked crazy, crying and laughing.
Not long after, he roared, stood up with his head held high, and moved his hands in the air. He actually used the void as a picture to inscribe Taoist rhyme, and carved the entire phantom picture into a glorious fairy character!
Ye Fan was shocked and couldn't help asking: "What is he doing?"
"In response to the calamity." Li Yun said softly, "After surviving this calamity, his cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds."
Ye Fan listened thoughtfully, and then continued to ask: "Senior, what did you just say to him?"
Li Yun smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just a transaction."
Ye Fan subconsciously asked: "What deal?"
Li Yun said meaningfully: "You will know right away!"
Sure enough, before he finished speaking, the old madman's movements had stopped.
He turned the huge pattern in the sky into a brand and took it into his mind. Then his face changed for a long time, and then he finally calmed down, and his eyes that originally contained many complex emotions became extremely sober.
He glanced at Ye Fan silently, then suddenly raised his hand and clapped it, leaving a mysterious pattern on the big bluestone.
Ye Fan took a closer look and found that the pattern was difficult to understand, but it seemed familiar and looked very familiar.
"...It's the mysterious footwork of the old madman!"
"No, according to the seniors, this should be an incomplete diagram of the secret path!"
Ye Fan's eyes were bright, and he immediately concentrated all his energy and began to memorize this pattern.
Li Yun sent a message of thanks to the old madman, and immediately began to memorize the mysterious patterns on the pattern.
The old madman looked at Ye Fan deeply, then stood up and walked towards the depths of the mountain.
Not long after, several frightened and angry shouts came from the mountains more than ten miles ahead.
Immediately afterwards, several figures rose into the sky, swaying out rays of light, as if they were fighting with people.
It was at this time that Ye Fan finally memorized all the patterns on the big bluestone.
He raised his head, eyes filled with divine light, and looked ahead to the place where there was a huge noise.
"...Senior, what's going on?"
"It's nothing." Li Yun said lightly, "That place is where the 'Region Gate', the most important place of Taixuan Sect, is located. The old madman wanted to use the Domain Gate of Taixuan Sect to leave here, but the way he borrowed it was a bit direct, so he had to talk to the guard There was some minor conflict among the Taixuan Sect elders of the Yu Sect.”
"...Minor conflict?"
Ye Fan looked ahead speechlessly.
With his eyesight, he could see several Taixuan Sect elders with powerful auras being knocked unconscious by the old madman's sleeve and falling to the ground one after another.
There is no doubt that the strength of these elders is beyond what he can match at the moment.
But in front of the old madman, their power was no different from that of ants.
Comparing it with the same direction, Li Yun, who can be treated seriously by the old madman, must have been a shockingly strong man during his lifetime, right?
Ye Fan thought secretly in his heart.
Later, Ye Fan pondered: "Senior, people from the Ji family and Yaoguang Holy Land have already arrived, and I have also obtained Zhuofeng's Secret Secret. Should I leave now?"
"...You want to cross the domain gate with the old madman?"
"Um."
Ye Fan nodded solemnly.
The so-called domain gate can be understood as a teleportation array in the world of immortality. As long as sufficient sources are provided and the dao patterns are activated, one can cross the void and move hundreds of thousands or even millions of kilometers at a time.
The Beidou Star Territory is vast, and just one Eastern Wasteland is boundless.
The area where Taixuanmen, Ji Family, and Yaoguang Holy Land are located belongs to the southern part of the Eastern Wasteland. As long as he leaves here through the domain gate, it will be difficult for the other party to find him in the vast and boundless Eastern Wasteland.
"It's a good idea, but I advise you not to go with the old madman."
"Why?"
"...You'll know it just by looking at it."
Li Yun said casually, because he had forgotten the specific details of the original plot. He only remembered that the old madman seemed to have failed in crossing the void, and then fell into a coma on the Clumsy Peak.
Hearing Li Yun's words, Ye Fan nodded and gave up the idea of leaving now.
He turned around and walked down the mountain. On the way, he recalled the word "immortal" carved by the old madman, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Senior, do you think there are really immortals in this world?"
"Haha, boy, it depends on your understanding of the word fairy!"
Li Yun said in a leisurely tone: "All heavens and worlds have different understandings of immortals."
"Some worlds believe that those who live forever are immortals. Those who can live as long as heaven and have the same age as earth are true immortals."
"Some worlds believe that immortals are as powerful as mountains. People who can cultivate themselves to become as powerful as mountains are true immortals."
"There are still some worlds where you are obviously blessed with abundant longevity, but you still have to fight to the death for resources. In such a world, the so-called immortals are just more powerful people!"
"The fairy world there is full of intrigues and undercurrents, just like the human world. I call it the underworld of cultivating immortals..."
Ye Fan couldn't help but said: "Isn't this the world I live in?"
Li Yun smiled and said: "Haha, there is still a difference. At least in that world, the lifespan of the same realm is much longer than in your world."
Ye Fan nodded thoughtfully, then pondered for a moment, and asked cautiously: "What about you?"
"……I?"
Li Yun was slightly startled and said in deep thought: "From the perspective of immortality, I have indeed become an immortal. It should not be a problem to live for at least a few million years. But in terms of strength, I am not as good as the immortals in this world." There are still some gaps.”
"So, are you really an outsider?"
"...Boy, you have too many questions."
Hearing Li Yun's words, Ye Fan chuckled and changed the topic: "Senior, how old are you this year?"
Li Yun asked in confusion: "Why do you suddenly ask about this?"
Ye Fan smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just feel that calling seniors all the time is a bit lively..."
Li Yun raised his brows and said with a half-smile, "Don't worry, I am definitely older than you. Does this need to be said?"
"Yes." Ye Fan nodded with a smile and asked tentatively, "Then I will change my name to you, Brother Li?"
Li Yun said nonchalantly: "It's up to you. It's almost time for me to wake up this time. It's time to sleep for a while. Call me if you need anything."
After saying that, Li Yun's spiritual thoughts fell silent.
Ye Fan tentatively called out a few times in his heart, but found that there was no response. Then he sighed and walked down the mountain.
…
…
The subsequent plot was as Li Yun imagined, with the old madman falling into a coma on the Clumsy Peak. Countless big shots from the Ji family and Yaoguang Holy Land came to try to communicate with the old madman, but they never got the result.
At the same time, the younger generations of the Ji family and the Shaking Light Holy Land gathered together.
As a disciple of Zhuofeng who had shined before, Ye Fan also had to show up in front of many young geniuses.
Here, Ye Fan met Hua Yunfei, the first person of the younger generation of Taixuanmen Star Peak, met his old classmate and former girlfriend Li Xiaoman who came to the Beidou Star Territory with him, and also met Ji Haoyue, the divine body of the Ji family.
Ji Haoyue's divine body reacted to Ye Fan's ancient holy body, and couldn't help but test it with the vision of the sea of bitterness, "A bright moon grows on the sea."
Fortunately, Ye Fan's ancient holy body suppressed all visions. He easily carried it over without even disturbing Li Yun, who was sleeping in the sea of suffering.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked. Many powerful forces did not recognize Ye Fan's identity. They only thought that he had a mysterious physique comparable to that of a god, so they all extended olive branches to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan found out that he was being watched and felt bad, so he decided to leave Taixuanmen that night.
He first found Ji Ziyue and gave her a few strands of Xuanhuang Essence in the face of the other party's astonished eyes. Then he touched her head and told her to practice well and surpass her brother Ji Haoyue in the future.
Ji Ziyue noticed Ye Fan's intention to leave and was reluctant to show her intention to stay.
But Ye Fan was unmoved. He used the incomplete Xingzi secret to easily get rid of Ji Ziyue and ran to Zhuofeng to meet Li Ruoyu for the last time.
Li Ruoyu saw Ye Fan's intention at a glance, but he did not stop him. On the contrary, he supported Ye Fan's decision.
Ye Fan felt grateful and left a bottle of divine spring for this short-lived master, then turned and left.
