Chapter 9 The sky is the limit
Looking at Kou Hong's confession on the table, Li Fan was a little disheartened.
Kou Hong didn't lie to him. He really didn't know how to make mortals leave this immortal place.
"The Immortal Land..." Five reincarnations and three hundred years of expectations have all turned into an elusive dream at this moment.
His dream of cultivating immortality and immortality was shattered, and Li Fan seemed to have aged completely overnight.
Not just physically, but mentally as well.
"The land of immortality..." He silently recited the name again, feeling endless reluctance in his heart.
"How could I have traveled through time and been born in a place like this? If I had traveled through time in the outside world of cultivating immortals, relying on [Huan Zhen's] ability to infinitely simulate reincarnation, I would definitely have a chance of immortality. It's a shame that this is the perfect place for immortality!"
The information in Kou Hong's confession flashed through Li Fan's mind again.
The so-called Immortal Land, as the name suggests, is a place where immortals disappear. Thousands of years ago, the ancient world of immortality encountered great changes.
At first, it was just a plague that swept through the entire mortal world, and no immortal cultivator cared about it.
But later, after a cultivator was accidentally infected with this inexplicable plague, things became completely out of control.
After infecting the cultivators this time, the plague seemed to have been inexplicably strengthened and became able to spread among the cultivators.
The channel of transmission is none other than the aura that cultivators rely on to survive.
The plague quickly spread throughout the entire world of immortality through the aura of heaven and earth. Immortal cultivators who are infected with this plague will either regress in their cultivation and fall into the realm; or in the worst case, their cultivation will be completely lost overnight and they will become no different from ordinary people. After that, they will die within a few days and their spirits will disappear. sky.
As a large number of immortal cultivators died, a feeling of despair began to spread among the immortal cultivators.
In desperation, some cultivators vented their anger on the source of all this, mortals.
Thus, large-scale massacres began.
Facing the superior immortal master, mortals have almost no power to resist and can only be slaughtered by them.
But not long after, this massacre was forcibly terminated.
It was not because of their conscience, but because the immortal cultivators were horrified to discover that with their massacre, a large number of mortals died. Not only did the plague in these mortals' bodies not disappear with death, but they lost their restraints and spread all over. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth spreads.
For a time, the level of plague in the world of immortality skyrocketed.
This instead led to the death of more immortal cultivators.
In desperation, the immortal cultivator gave up this killing behavior against mortals.
But sitting still and waiting for death is obviously not the style of the immortal cultivators. On the one hand, a group of immortal cultivators began to develop methods to treat and resist this plague. On the other hand, the immortal cultivators proposed the infamous [Great Migration Plan].
Although this plan was opposed by a considerable number of immortal cultivators when it was first proposed, for the sake of their own survival, most of the immortal cultivators still voted in favor.
The so-called [Great Migration Plan] is based on the following considerations:
Mortals cannot be killed, and it is still far away to find a complete solution to this plague. If mortals are allowed to reproduce freely, as the plague increases, the life of immortal cultivators will definitely become more and more difficult.
And this weird plague can be spread by relying on spiritual energy, so a natural plan was put forward.
Exile all the mortals in the world of immortality to places such as small worlds without spiritual energy, broken caves, etc., and then use formations to isolate them forever, preventing these mortals from returning.
In this way, we can solve the mortal problems once and for all, and then go back and slowly study how to fight the plague.
Anyway, the undeveloped small world is almost endless, and there is no need to worry about not being able to accommodate these mortals.
Therefore, under the arrangement of the unified will of the entire world of immortality, all mortals in the world of immortality began a migration that lasted hundreds of years.
As for how many mortals will die during migration in these hundreds of years, it is not within the scope of these immortal cultivators to consider. Anyway, in the face of the power of immortal cultivators, mortals have no room to resist.
In this way, after hundreds of years of great migration, the entire mortal world of immortality was dispersed to various small worlds around it. After nearly a thousand years, the concentration of plague in the world of immortality finally dropped to a lower level.
After thousands of years of continuous research, the immortal cultivators finally found a way to purify this plague.
It took thousands of years for the immortal cultivators to completely eliminate the threat of this plague.
However, what makes the immortal cultivators feel embarrassed is that this plague actually lingers and is hidden in the blood of mortals.
Originally, there were no mortals left in the world, but not every descendant of the union of immortal cultivators was qualified to cultivate immortality.
So over time, many more mortals were born in the world. These mortals all have the shadow of this plague in their bodies.
And because this plague has special lethality for cultivators, the descendants of mortals must eliminate the plague from their bodies if they want to become immortals.
Over time, this plague became synonymous with immortality, so people named it immortal miasma.
The rampant Immortal and Mortal Miasma at the time left a great psychological shadow on all the immortal cultivators. In order to prevent the Immortal and Mortal Miasma from coming back, the cultivators made a convention to try not to go to these places where the mortals were originally exiled.
Over time, these places have become so-called immortal places.
There are countless immortal places, large and small, and there are very few immortal cultivators who are willing to take huge risks to enter these places.
It was a blessing for Li Fan to meet two of them.
Now, these two immortal cultivators have no way for mortals to get out, so how could Li Fan expect another, higher-level immortal cultivator to break in?
What's more, as a mortal, his lifespan is limited. Even if he can continue to simulate reincarnation, it will only be repeated within his life span.
He is already seventy years old this year, and the upper limit of his biological life span is eighty-six years old.
In these sixteen years, the possibility of meeting another immortal cultivator is basically zero.
That being the case, why doesn't Li Fan feel desperate?
He obviously saw the hope of cultivating immortality and finding immortality, but he didn't expect that in the end he would just be happy in vain.
Is it possible that I really can only repeat the mortal life life after life?
Li Fan was really unwilling.
The road to eternal life is right in front of you, within reach, but it is far away and hopeless.
How could Li Fan be reconciled to this?
Thinking about everything he had experienced in several reincarnations and the nearly three hundred years of hard waiting, Li Fan was unwilling to give up on the road to immortality.
Is there really no other way?
Suddenly, as if a bolt of lightning pierced the fog, Li Fan suddenly thought of something he had ignored before.
How did large numbers of mortals migrate here thousands of years ago?
Although the small world and the world of cultivating immortals are adjacent to each other, they are not the same world after all.
Surely these mortals didn't come here on foot?
There must be something to carry them here, right?
Are these tools still available today?
If I find these tools, can I go to the world of immortality?
Even if there was only a slight possibility, Li Fan saw the hope of cultivating immortality.
His mood became excited, so he immediately went to the prison where Kou Hong was imprisoned.
He wanted to find Kou Hong to verify the feasibility of his idea.
