Chapter 1401: The Heavenly Beast Performs Extraordinary Achievements (Complete revision)
The ancient stone slab guarding the center of the array is just like the nine-star red bead that Li Fan had seen in the ruins of the Xuanhuang Guardian Immortal Array.
The only difference is that the nine-star red bead has long disappeared. But this ancient stone slab is still there.
Li Fan narrowed his eyes and tried to see the contents engraved on the stone slab in the array.
The stone slab was motionless, but the lines on it seemed to be changing all the time and were blurry.
This reminded Li Fan of the Beilin Immortal Realm copper coins he had seen before.
"It seems that this is a unique way of recording in the immortal world. But the contents engraved on this stone slab..."
"More complicated!"
Li Fan's heart moved slightly, and he was not in a hurry to see what was going on. He keenly noticed that the array in front of him seemed to have a certain misleading effect. What he peeked through the array might not be correct.
With the help of the dissociation disc, Li Fan began to analyze the array in front of him.
"There is no immortal spirit. It seems that for its concealment, it does not even have the most basic spiritual power. So what is supporting this magic array to continue running for so many years?" Li Fan studied it and immediately became interested.
Li Fan's current level of array is definitely a master of array. He can integrate and deduce the immortal array according to his own needs. But Li Fan has never seen this type of array before.
"It's not that the consumption required for the operation of the array is too small, and it can be supported by a certain item. The power of this array..." Li Fan pondered, and tentatively used spiritual power to transform into a bird, trying to break into the array.
There was no obstruction.
But at the moment of crossing the boundary line of the array, this spiritual bird disappeared without any sign.
Li Fan's pupils suddenly shrank.
Because he could not perceive at all how the flying bird he controlled disappeared.
Li Fan snapped his fingers lightly, and then hundreds of birds rushed towards the formation in a black mass.
Under Li Fan's exquisite control, the total amount of spiritual power contained in all the birds was negligible. Below a certain limit, it was ensured that the formation would not provoke a stronger defensive reaction.
Their fate was no exception.
Li Fan savored the process of the birds' disappearance carefully.
"Spiritual power is not [consumed]. Instead, the foundation for maintaining the existence of spiritual power has been emptied..."
When all the birds died, Li Fan also realized something vaguely.
This formation actually gave him a sense of déjà vu.
Li Fan took specific objects to do experiments.
Stones, magic tools, plants, and birds.
The results were all the same.
As long as you enter the formation, everything will disappear.
Li Fan's expression gradually became serious: "All the tests we have done before are related to [mortal] things. What if it is related to [immortal]?"
The golden source power essence turned into a small dragon, impacting the formation. The air seemed to be burned by flames and twisted. Then the golden light gradually disappeared, and the ending was the same!
After that, Li Fan took out a ball of real immortal flesh and blood. A series of golden threads were inserted into the flesh. The real immortal flesh and blood, like a puppet, swayed and slowly walked into the formation.
The golden thread that Li Fan used to manipulate it was broken in the middle. The real immortal flesh and blood that entered the formation, however, underwent a different change from the mortal things before.
The stone slab lying quietly in the formation, the originally flickering pattern, suddenly stopped for a moment.
At this moment, Li Fan vaguely saw a thunder on the stone slab. It struck at the ball of real immortal flesh and blood that entered the formation.
The strange and mysterious aura of the real immortal flesh and blood suddenly disappeared. No longer among the immortals, but turned into a mortal in an instant.
And then dissipated in the formation!
This change happened in just a moment. Suddenly it seemed that the flesh and blood of the real immortals, like all the mortal things used for experiments before, could not persist in the formation.
But Li Fan sensed it keenly.
Li Fan repeated the previous operation, constantly using the flesh and blood of the real immortals to test. He hoped to seize the fleeting opportunity and see the flash of thunder clearly.
"The light that lit up on the stone slab seemed to be one of the patterns in the immortal platform engraved by Xuanhuangtian in the past? It can actually turn immortals into mortals?"
Li Fan was shocked.
However, he also understood that what he used for the experiment was not the real [immortal], but the unconscious flesh and blood that revived from the corpse of the real immortal.
It can't be compared with the real immortal at all.
But in any case, the terrifying regeneration and defense ability of the real immortal flesh and blood has been verified on the Tianyang Immortal Puppet. Ignoring almost all mundane attack methods, it can even be immune to the influence of the True Immortal Seal Characters to a certain extent.
However, even such a transcendent and terrifying existence has no power to resist the thunder pattern on the stone slab.
"Since you have transformed from an immortal to a mortal, why can't you transform from a mortal to an immortal?"
"Climb the Immortal Platform, Climb the Immortal Platform..."
The previous speculation seemed to have been verified in some way. Li Fan looked at the stone slab not far away and became excited.
After a period of attempts, almost one-tenth of the True Immortal Learning flesh and blood in stock was directly consumed, but there was still no gain. Li Fan could not help but give up this stupid method.
The thunder-like pattern on the stone slab appeared for too short a time. Even through the formation, there was still a certain degree of distortion. Wanting to see it clearly like this is nothing but a fool's dream.
"I destroyed the world several times before, and the Xuanhuang Realm was completely turned into nothingness. But I didn't notice the existence of this formation and the stone slab."
"This formation should not be fixed here. It is like a living thing. If it encounters an unmatched situation, it will strategically move and retreat..."
"It does not need power support, and it can move itself in an emergency. This formation is really amazing!" Li Fan was amazed.
"It cannot be cracked by force. It seems that only the little turtle can do it."
Li Fan's heart moved, and a blue light flashed around him.
Taishang Qiushui carried the little beast and appeared beside Li Fan.
"Hello, Master." Qiushui was still very respectful.
After seeing the little beast grinning at Li Fan, he slapped it on the head.
The energy surged, and it was not just a show, but a full-strength attack!
The little beast was immediately beaten to a pulp.
If it were in its normal form, even if it was transformed from the Immortal Realm Jade Pendant, it would definitely be seriously injured if it was hit like this.
But in this life, the little beast has swallowed four pieces of the Immortal Realm chess piece in succession. With the addition of the Immortal Realm Law, its physique has grown to an unimaginable degree.
It only cried out in grievance, and the little beast had recovered.
Under Qiu Shui's coercion, it shrank its head to Li Fan to salute.
"It is true that one thing conquers another." Li Fan nodded secretly in his heart.
Perhaps because they were both manifested from the form of living beings, after a long period of closeness, the little beast actually regarded Qiu Shui Dao Tong as its own parent.
And Qiu Shui, under Li Fan's order, kept feeding it with the Immortal Realm chess piece. And taking it to wander around in the starry sea, hoping that the little beast's sensitive intuition could gain something. It also confirmed the identity of "parents".
Therefore, the little beast obeyed Qiu Shui almost everything he said.
Li Fan moved his mind slightly, and through Qiu Shui, he commanded the little beast to crawl towards the stone slab surrounded by the formation.
In front of this formation, the little beast's sensitive perception seemed to have lost its effect.
It became blind, and it seemed that it had not noticed the existence of the strange formation before.
It was not until it slowly crawled to the boundary of the formation that it suddenly became alert and stopped.
Looking ahead in confusion, his eyes were full of vigilance.
The little beast was reluctant to move forward, but Qiu Shui urged it.
After hesitating for a moment, the little beast's eyes emitted a mysterious silver starlight.
After observing for a long time, the little beast continued, reluctantly moving forward.
"As I expected, the little beast is a transformation of an item from the fairyland. It has a certain ability to resist this formation. It has swallowed four fairyland chess pieces alive, and its physique has undergone a qualitative change. It should be able to withstand the attack of this formation!" Li Fan's eyes flashed.
The little beast crawled very slowly.
It stared at the stone slab not far ahead, and a trace of doubt flashed in its eyes. It seemed to feel inexplicably familiar with the stone slab.
Therefore, it was even more resistant.
It was Qiu Shui who stepped in, lured it with emotion and benefits. This made the little beast continue to move forward.
Li Fan waited quietly, and the little beast took out the stone slab.
At the same time, he continued to look at the strange formation in front of him.
After so long, Li Fan had already vaguely recalled it.
Where did the sense of déjà vu that he felt come from?
It was precisely because of the formation mechanism that had the foundation of the existence of that thing was cut off!
In the cracks and depressions throughout the Dark Star Sea, there is a dark river of vitality flowing. It is covered by a layer of life-sucking power. Cutting off the basis for the existence of things, this life-sucking power is the reason why the vitality in the cracks gathers; the decaying greenness wrapped in the Thousand Eyes Wild God of Xuanxianzhou also devours the mechanism of existence it touches.
Even...
The invisible high wall that besieges the Dark Star Sea.
It can also be seen as directly erasing the basis for the existence of the concept of "before".
"All of these can be seen as the lack of elements of existence."
"It is similar to the formation in front of me!"
Li Fan's eyes flashed, and a storm of thoughts blew up in his mind. He thought of a lot in an instant.
"They should all be the means of the former immortal world."
"It is even possible that people outside the high walls now also have this kind of magical power."
"From the clues we have obtained before, when King Xuantian arranged these hidden tricks, he should still be only a half-immortal. How did he do all this without the spirit of immortals?"
The little beast has been in the formation.
Under continuous stimulation, the formation is in operation, which also allows Li Fan to see more clearly.
Even the symbols on the stone slab in the center of the formation are revealed more and more.
Among the more and more flashing patterns, Li Fan suddenly captured a pattern that is extremely similar to the Tianya Zhichi formation!
"Because I was peeping through the formation, what I saw was distorted, so it didn't completely match. But it further confirmed my guess!"
"On this stone slab that King Xuantian had copied, there was indeed a complete seal engraving of the immortal world's immortal platform."
"This seal engraving is almost everything. Each of them corresponds to a certain power that originally belonged to the immortal world."
"For example, the end of the world is just around the corner. Another example is, immortals become mortals, and mortals become immortals!"
Li Fan's heart was surging, and the little beast seemed to be under more and more pressure as it moved forward. The movement became slower and slower, almost stagnant!
Almost only one step away from the stone slab, but the little beast rolled his eyes and simply gave up!
No matter how much Qiu Shui urged him at this moment, the little beast did not move.
Through the formation, seeing the many patterns on the stone slab that were flickering and changing frequently and close to the normal display, Li Fan knew that the little beast was not waiting for a price or playing tricks.
But it had really reached the limit of what it could bear.
There seemed to be a dull explosion on the body of the little beast. A little flesh and blood was being cut off by the power of the formation.
A trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the beast, and it wanted to give up and retreat.
Qiu Shui was helpless about this. Even if he used three fairyland chess pieces as a lure, it would be useless.
At this moment, Li Fan cast a spell with both hands.
The little beast, who was about to retreat, suddenly froze.
Then he couldn't control himself and continued to crawl forward!
A trace of the beast's natural brutality flashed in the eyes of the little beast. It kept roaring, expressing its immense anger.
However, it could not get rid of Li Fan's spell.
This spell was learned by Li Fan from the spell that Mo Rubin used to control the eye of the beast.
Whether it was the guardian beast of the ancient Xuantian Sect or the little turtle in front of him who had just been born.
Their bodies were all the jade pendants brought down from the fairyland by King Xuantian.
In fact, they can be regarded as the same creature.
The control method that was effective for the Xuantian Sect's beast was naturally effective for the little turtle in front of him.
Li Fan had secretly tested it before.
Otherwise, he would not have let the little turtle go and directly devoured four fairyland chess pieces.
Under Li Fan's ruthless coercion, the little beast finally crawled to the stone slab despite its increasingly serious injuries.
With its relatively thin body, it carried the stone slab on its back.
Carrying it on his back, he then roared in a low voice and slowly withdrew.
On the stone slab, countless patterns changed unpredictably.
The flesh and blood of the little beast were also cut off bit by bit and disappeared.
In the end, only an empty shell was left, and the eye of the beast was protected by the silver starlight in front.
Carrying the stone slab, he moved forward slowly but firmly.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally crawled out of the range covered by the strange formation.
The moment he left the formation, the little beast was completely exhausted and could no longer move.
Qiu Shui hurried forward to help.
Li Fan stared at the stone slab on the back of the beast. The patterns on it were all extinguished. The sacred and solemn aura also disappeared at the same time.
It seemed to be just a mundane thing in the world, ordinary and unremarkable.
Li Fan casually threw a fairyland chess piece to the little beast that had made great contributions but was already dying.
I lifted the stone slab from the air and examined it carefully.
Tomorrow, I will join the Dao
