Chapter 55: Death and rebirth
Half a month later, a simple desalination array was built. Google search reading
Having regained sufficient drinking water and food, the surviving residents of Tai'an Island kowtowed and thanked the immortal master for his life.
Li Fan was not so happy, but rather worried.
After building a magic formation with his own hands, Li Fan reluctantly embarked on the path of formation.
Only then did he discover that the island protection formation on Tai'an Island was being damaged at an extremely abnormal speed.
Generally speaking, island protection formations can often continue to operate for hundreds of years.
But if the current rate of damage continues, in another two to three years, the formation will completely lose its effectiveness.
After careful investigation, combined with the description in "Introduction to Formation", Li Fan found the reason for the damage to the formation.
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth became extremely violent and fiery.
This blazing aura seemed to have given birth to its own will. After being absorbed by the island-protecting formation, it began to slowly erode key nodes in the formation.
The island protection formation is now like a machine whose key parts are slowly getting rusty. Every time it is run, its lifespan is reduced by one point.
The reason was found, but Li Fan had no good way to save it.
The island protection formation is too complex, with more than 10,000 key nodes, each of which is often composed of dozens of miniature arrays.
It is said that when it was originally built, it was jointly built by many Nascent Soul realm formation masters from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
There is a problem at this moment, and it is something that Li Fan, a newly initiated monk, can solve.
Moreover, the main reason for the problem is the spiritual energy absorbed by the formation.
Even if the magic circle is temporarily repaired, as long as the nature of the violent spiritual energy outside remains unchanged, it can only be regarded as drinking poison to quench thirst.
"Staying here on Tai'an Island can only mean waiting for death. We must find a way to leave here."
"But I don't know what kind of changes have happened in the outside world. The violent spiritual energy is raging. Going out rashly will be a dead end."
We were in a dilemma, and for a moment it seemed like we were in a deadlock.
"Is this a murderous intention from heaven..." Li Fan stared closely at the sky outside the island protection formation, feeling like a flying insect caught in a spider's web, unable to move and struggling to his death.
But Li Fan did not directly choose [Really].
[Really] If I go back and waste more than ten years of recharging time, and if I don't figure out what happened, there is a high probability that I will die in the end next time.
Even if we escape from Cong Yunhai, can we guarantee that we will not encounter new crises?
You must know that the ill will of heaven in this world towards immortal 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 directly unless he had to.
For the next period of time, Li Fan continued to practice while looking for a way to break the situation.
However, the violent spiritual energy in the outside world not only has no intention of calming down, but has become more violent as time goes by.
Under its destruction, the island defense formation became in danger.
It will collapse at any time.
"Is there no other way?" Li Fan felt helpless.
He was really unwilling to end this life so unclearly.
But there seems to be no other choice.
"It's true!"
Li Fan looked at Tai'an Island one last time with some reluctance, exhaled "Really", 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 aura from the outside world did not seem to be aimed at mortals.
According to the descriptions of mortals on the island, the weather outside the island protection formation is just a little hot, but other than that there is no special danger.
"The murderous intent of heaven and earth is only aimed at immortal cultivators. If they are mortals, they should be fine."
If I were to lose all my magic power and temporarily become a mortal again, wouldn't I be able to survive?
Li Fan thought of the "Tai Shang Original Scripture".
With this miraculous skill, you won't lose much cultivation even if you transform it into a new skill. As long as you find a safe place, it won't take long to return to your original state.
"Is this the so-called risking one's life to survive?" Li Fan couldn't help but feel a little happy when he thought of the solution.
Then, 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 "Thousand Ji Jade World Golden Medal" from the ancient Tianji Sect.
One is the new law and the other is the old law.
The new method of practice is to rob the world.
It is precisely because of this that evil will arise from heaven and earth.
Nowadays, there are many murderous intentions in the world, and the target is the immortal cultivators who practice the new method.
What if I just let go of "Xiao Yan Shui Jue" and retained the realm of "Qianji Jade World Golden Chapter"?
So will the chance of murder between heaven and earth be smaller?
Li Fan is a decisive person.
The formation might collapse at any time, so he made a prompt decision, and with the spiritual energy flowing in his body, he started to run the "Tai Shang Primordial Scripture".
"The Supreme Being Wuming returns to the beginning..."
As the technique circulates, the water-attributed spiritual energy gained from practicing "Xiao Yan Shui Jue" slowly dissipates like ice and snow, transforming into a stream of pure energy that stops in Li Fan's Dantian.
However, within a short time, "Xiao Yan Shui Jue" had been completely dispersed.
But Li Fan didn't feel any discomfort.
"This "Tai Shang Primordial Scripture" is indeed magical." Li Fan sighed with emotion and flew to the edge of the island protection formation.
"Sure enough, this method works!"
Feeling that the murderous intent permeating the outside world suddenly weakened, Li Fan felt happy.
"It is a pity that the "Qianji Jade World Golden Chapter" is still practiced according to the current method of robbing the heaven and the earth. Although it may be due to the intention of the practice, the malicious intent of the world is much smaller than before, but It hasn’t completely dissipated after all.”
Realizing that his life would still be in danger after going out now, Li Fan made up his mind and chose to continue spreading his energy.
Soon, there was another surge of pure energy in the Dantian.
The two energies were originally transformed by different techniques, but at this moment they can be merged into one place without any conflict.
"According to the description in the Taishang Original Scripture, the pure energy obtained from the transformation of energy can be maintained in the Dantian for about a hundred years." Li Fan's state at this time has changed back to a mortal.
But he wasn't particularly worried.
"As long as you return to Ten Thousand Immortals Island, you will be able to practice again soon."
At that moment, Li Fan no longer hesitated and drove the Taiyan boat, slowly flying out of the island protection formation.
The violent fiery spiritual energy raged, turning the sky in the distance into an orange-red color.
But Li Fan was already a mortal, and the rioting spiritual energy just whizzed past and did not launch an attack.
Li Fan breathed a sigh of relief, chose a direction, increased the speed of Taiyan Boat to the maximum, and flew towards Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
On the way, Li Fan passed by many islands.
All the mortals on these islands are dead, without any breath of life.
Li Fan was secretly shocked.
The speed of the journey is getting faster and faster.
Three months later.
Li Fan arrived at the original location of Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
He opened the map and compared it four or five times, but still couldn't believe his eyes.
The once huge Ten Thousand Immortals Island has completely disappeared.
There is only a giant black hole left, lying empty across the ocean.
