Chapter 20 Unintentional but successful
Li Fan drove the Taiyan boat back to the top of the Xuyuan. Google search reading
"What the hell is that..." Li Fan looked a little gloomy.
Although he used some tricks, he could clearly see the monster's true appearance. But Li Fan had no idea how to escape its sight and successfully pass through the dark layer.
"The giant whale is so huge, and the Taiyan Zhou is so small. But every time I go over, it always finds me like a cat seeing a mouse..." Thinking of this, Li Fan was a little troubled.
"I can only try other methods. Fortunately, I still have enough opportunities to try." Li Fan sighed helplessly.
…
Another fifteen years later, anchoring thirty-five years.
Li Fan lurked into the thunderstorm layer early.
In the past fifteen years, he has tried to break into the dark layer several times.
But in these days, the time it took the whale from the time he entered the dark layer to the time he was discovered was greatly reduced. According to the flying speed of Taiyan Zhou, he had no time to escape. Therefore, he could only return in embarrassment after fighting with the giant whale.
"Only when the white fog clears, the giant whale will seem to be delayed by something, and it will take a while to find me. With this extra time, maybe I can fly to the bottom of the abyss."
This time, Li Fan decided to give it a try and cross the dark layer as quickly as possible before the giant whale could react.
The wind started to pick up.
Taiyan Zhou's power was fully activated, bursting out at astonishing speed.
The illusory scene was getting closer and closer, and just as he was about to arrive, the terrifying cry of the giant whale sounded again.
And approaching quickly.
"There's about a quarter of the distance left, it's too late." Li Fan made a judgment.
Narrowing his eyes, Li Fan was aroused.
Instead of flying to the bottom of the abyss, he turned his head and slammed into the direction where the giant whale's cry came from.
Unfortunately, being cruel is of no use.
There was no collision. Li Fan only felt the surroundings darken and knew that he had been swallowed by a giant whale again.
"It's true!"
Li Fan roared viciously.
…
[This simulation ends]
Li Fan breathed out a little depressedly.
After taking a long time to calm down, Li Fan chose to speed up the charging process this time.
Name: Li Fan
Realm: Mortal
Biological age: 20/86
Mental age: 368/1116
The mental age has completely reached the upper limit and will not increase any more.
"Fortunately, there are still 748 years to squander." Li Fan could only comfort himself.
The eighth life.
Anchor for four years.
Li Fan once again opened Qian Hong's tomb.
"Discovering rechargeable items: Stop the broken monument (damage)."
"Whether to recharge."
Li Fan finally felt better after seeing the reminder of [Really].
At this moment, the anchor charging progress has reached 51%.
"At least I didn't come to this life in vain..." Li Fan said with some self-deprecation.
After five years of anchoring, the white fog has receded, and the virtual recharging progress is almost 90%. But less than 100% doesn't make much difference to Li Fan. The only option is to wait patiently.
Anchored for twenty years, Li Fan tried and failed.
Anchoring for thirty-five years, Li Fan tried again, but failed.
However, these attempts were not completely useless. At the very least, he became more and more skilled in controlling the Taiyan Boat, and he was able to last longer under the pursuit of the giant whale.
Anchored for fifty years, Li Fan did not choose to break into the dark layer again.
He is old, and his reflexes and energy have declined significantly. There is no chance of success even if you go.
So he chose to meet two old friends to see if he could get any clues from them.
On the day of Li Fan's seventieth birthday, Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi arrived on time.
"Dao Xuanzi, don't bully others too much!"
…
Li Fan listened and suddenly felt a little nostalgic.
Still using the name of Jindan Kung Fu to lure the two to the Grand Master's Mansion, after drinking for three times, Li Fan took out a picture scroll.
The painting looks to be a few years old. It depicts a terrifying and huge whale, hidden behind the darkness, with only its ferocious mouth exposed, ready to devour anyone.
"Have you two ever seen such a monster? Our ancestors said before they died that if there is a chance to escape from this place in the future, there is no need to worry about the rest. With the protection of our sect Tai Yanzhou, you should be fine. Only on the last floor, there is a giant Whales are lurking, so be careful." Li Fan asked.
"There is such a ferocious beast in that dark and empty land?" Kou Hong looked at the painting, frowned slightly, and said in disbelief, "Why didn't I see it?"
"Could it be..." Dao Xuanzi seemed to have remembered something.
"Oh? Fellow Taoist seems to know about this beast?" Li Fan asked expectantly.
Dao Xuanzi shook his head: "I have only seen relevant records in an ancient book. It is said that in ancient times, there was a sect called Beast Control. The Beast Control Sect did not have any profound skills, but with its one-handed Beast Control Art, it could control He fought against all the strange beasts in the world. When the Beast Control Sect was at its most powerful, it was said to be on par with top sects such as Tai Shang and Dao Dao."
"It's a pity that during the great catastrophe of heaven and earth, the Beast Control Sect, which only practiced one technique, perished the fastest."
"Among the most famous exotic beasts controlled by the Beast Control Sect, there seems to be this giant whale."
"When you said that, I remembered it. What does it seem to be called?" Kou Hong clapped his hands and said quickly.
Li Fan's heart moved and he quickly asked: "I wonder if you two know how to avoid this world-breaking whale?"
Both Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi smiled: "I have only heard a few words about it. Such a strange beast has disappeared from the world of immortality for thousands of years. How can we know its habits?"
Li Fan couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
In the end, do you still have to rely on yourself?
After handing the "Qianji Yuhuan Golden Chapter" to Dao Xuanzi and sending the two of them away, Li Fan chose to end this life.
…
Name: Li Fan
Realm: Mortal
Biological age: 20/86
Mental age: 418/1116
The ninth life!
In this life, Li Fan once again opened Qian Hong's tomb, hoping to absorb the remaining stele and recharge it.
Unfortunately, [really] there was no response.
Although he felt regretful, Li Fan had already been mentally prepared.
As a result, [Huan Zhen]'s anchor charging progress is fixed at 51%.
Anchored for twenty years, anchored for thirty-five years, and anchored for fifty years, Li Fan tried various methods, but could not break through the dark layer under the watchful eyes of the giant whale.
Anchored for sixty-five years, Li Fan is already eighty-five years old and is close to running out of oil.
He didn't choose to end it early this time because he didn't know how many more attempts he would have to make to break through this immortal formation.
It's always good to try one more time.
It's a pity that he is too old this time, his thinking has become slower, and his reactions have become slower.
Unable to compete with the giant whale in a battle of wits and courage, Li Fan did not force it. He simply gave up the control of the Taiyan Boat and let it slowly swing towards the bottom of the Xuyuan from the beginning.
Gangfeng layer, illusion light layer, upside down layer, flowing fire layer, mysterious ice layer, thunderstorm layer, darkness layer...
Li Fan fell asleep in a daze, and when he woke up, he was shocked to find that Taiyan Zhou had almost flown to the bottom of the Xuyuan!
"What's going on? Why didn't the World Splitting Whale appear this time?" Li Fan was extremely puzzled, but that didn't stop him from speeding up his power and heading towards the place where the dots of light appeared at full speed.
But as Li Fan accelerated, the roar of the giant whale suddenly appeared!
"Why did you suddenly find me now?" Li Fan frowned deeply.
Then, as if a bolt of lightning lit up the night sky, Li Fan suddenly woke up.
"So that's it! This World Splitter Whale can't see or ignore objects moving at a constant speed! As long as it keeps the same speed, it can pass through this Immortal Array safely!"
After figuring out the connection, Li Fan couldn't help but laugh.
At this point, the last shackles to leave this immortal land have been completely released!
Amid Li Fan's wild laughter and the roar of the giant whale, Taiyan Zhou broke through the gap between the two worlds and was about to return to the world of immortality.
The scene around him became blurry, as if he had traveled several worlds away in an instant. Li Fan, who was under tremendous pressure, groaned suddenly, and blood flowed out of his nose and eyes.
But he didn't care at all.
Looking back at the magical place where he came from, because the distance was too far and the angle of view was infinitely higher, Li Fan saw a scene that he would never forget:
Hundreds, thousands, thousands of World Breaker Whales, they form groups, day and night, carving out patches of pitch-black space in the void.
The place of immortality that Li Fan came to was far away from the world of immortality here.
further and further.
