Chapter 1462: Allegory of Mountains and Seas
For Li Buren, a pure creature of destruction, there is almost no such emotion as "fear".
All those who can use infinite power dare not use it.
It's because of "instinct".
Once the idea of using the power of infinite fairy spirits came into his mind, the boundless infinite sea seemed to appear before Li Buren's eyes again.
Each drop has the weight of trillions of years of history, and the huge waves will pour down along the channel created by him to connect to the infinite sea. All things in the world, even the great avenues of heaven and earth, are submerged. Nothing on earth can survive.
This indescribable pressure made it difficult for Li Buren to press the invisible "button" even if he was close at hand and within reach.
In addition to the pressure brought by the vast infinite sea itself, what Li Buren is even more concerned about is the terrifying existence hidden under the infinite sea that has never been seen. It's just the fluctuations in their thoughts after sensing the truth. Then you can set off turbulent waves in the infinite sea.
Since returning to reality, Li Fan has been trying to communicate with Huan Zhen and find out more information about the Infinite Sea. But never got any response.
Fortunately, what gave Li Fan some peace of mind was that the power of "Huan Zhen" did not seem to be affected by any real-time effects, and he could still activate it in a moment's notice. It really should be that he was just in a bad mood and too lazy to respond.
But what he saw during this short trip to the Infinite Sea forced Li Fan to think a lot.
For example, the fact that the Infinite Sea seems to have a lot to do with the Catastrophe of Dao Annihilation.
For another example, it really should have a great connection with the Infinite Sea. The terrifying unknown existence hidden under the infinite sea should be old acquaintances.
“Make everything virtual and return to the original anchor point.”
"Has the infinite sea located above the endless world been traced back..."
An extremely heavy, yet unavoidable fact suddenly appeared in front of Li Fan.
All along, as Li Fan's cultivation level has improved, his understanding of Huazhen's ability has also continued to deepen. From being a little weak when facing the true immortal, to being able to create a separate timeline segment called [Endless Reincarnation] out of thin air. It seems that the end of Huazhen's ability can never be seen.
But today, after using the means left over from the fairy world in the past, I jumped up and connected to the infinite sea. Li Fan seemed to finally have a glimpse of Huazhen's limit.
"The terrifying existence hidden under the infinite sea seems to be an old acquaintance. If they are existences of the same personality, I am afraid that the power of true retrospect may not be able to act on them."
"But if you want to confirm it, you need to enter the infinite sea again in the next life. But..."
A hint of gloom flashed in Li Fan's eyes.
This is the first time since his reincarnation practice that he has to face an enemy who is like him and can escape from reincarnation. Especially the experience of almost being "drowned" in the infinite sea made Li Fan suddenly feel a pressure in his heart.
Moreover, it is really reflected in the infinite sea, the forces that are above everything in the world. Li Fan couldn't help but think of the legend about the God of Creation that he had heard from Liu Ruchen.
"The powerful God of Creation defeated his kind. And extracted their power to evolve all living beings in the world..."
Liu Ruchen said to himself that he saw this legend in an ancient book.
Li Fan had searched Liu Ruchen's soul before, and indeed saw this ancient book in his memory. It's just that when the Yaowang Sect fled the Xuanhuang Realm, they left in a hurry. This ancient book was not an important thing originally, so it was not taken away. He has been missing since.
"This legend of the Creation God has not been spread or recorded in other places in the Xuanhuang Realm."
"There is reason to suspect that the so-called ancient book is probably Sun Piaomiao's essay..."
"Liu Ruchen also flipped through this book casually. Apart from the legend of the God of Creation, he only read another fable about the dialogue between mountains and the ocean."
Li Fan recalled what Liu Ruchen had seen back then.
At the beginning of ancient times, there were only mountains and seas in the world. Mountains and seas surround each other and rely on each other. Originally, there was great harmony between the mountains and the sea, until one day, life suddenly appeared in the sea.
This is a completely different existence from the mountains and the sea. While adding a lot of vitality to the sea, it also naturally attracts the sea's attention.
At first, Shan didn't care.
All creatures in the sea have a finite lifespan. The mountains and seas will last forever and will never be destroyed. Compared with the almost endless years between mountains and seas, the creatures of the sea are destined to be just passers-by.
But as the years passed, Shan was surprised to find that the number of creatures in the sea had not decreased. On the contrary, it became more prosperous. After some investigation, Shan was shocked to discover that it was because Hai couldn't bear to see the creatures die one after another, so he gave his endless lifespan to them.
Shan Dawei was furious: "Hai! Why are you doing this! How can these little ones be qualified to enjoy the same unlimited life span as us?"
Hai asked gently: "Mountain, why can't you do this? You and I can exist in this world forever. Even if we give our life span to them, it will not make us any weaker. The relationship between the mountains and the sea has become Wouldn’t it be better to be more lively?”
Shan Yi was speechless for a moment.
He observed the creatures that evolved in the sea, and then sighed: "Ocean, it's not that I am stingy. It's just that once these little ones master something that does not belong to them, they will instinctively crave for more."
Hai asked back: "What does it mean to belong? Are we born with infinite lifespans?"
The mountain finally fell silent.
…
"It seems to be just a simple fable. But if it is combined with the one about the God of Creation, plus what I saw in the Infinite Sea, there may be another mystery. Sun Piaomiao..."
Li Fan pondered for a moment and decided to find the lost ancient book.
However, the Yaowang Sect fled as a whole, and was considered a traitor by the Ten Sects. The sect was quickly smashed and looted. In the chaotic scene at that time, no one knew where the ancient book went. It might have been burned directly.
Li Fan first called for the stone tablet.
Although the stone tablet claimed to be able to record everything that happened in the Xuanhuang Realm, Li Fan knew that it was limited to the original Xuanhuang Realm. Moreover, the stone tablet could not record the transcendent power such as the fishing pond.
So he did not hold too much hope.
Sure enough, the ancient book in Liu Ruchen's memory was not found.
However, with Li Fan's current control over the Xuanhuang Realm, as long as the book still exists in the Xuanhuang Realm, it will definitely be found.
There was no need for Li Fan to do it personally. With just one order, the monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals League and the Five Elders Association woke up from their dreams. They searched through their own storage.
Li Fan's attention temporarily returned to the puppet Li Bu Ren.
Although he did not call upon the power of the immortal spirit, Li Bu Ren, who returned from the Infinite Sea, already had the attribute of "infinite".
In addition, there was still a trace of immortal spirit transmitted by the immortal skin.
It seemed to have passed some kind of verification.
Originally just a corner of the land. The invisible boundary, like a high wall, manifested a physical entity in an instant and folded back.
This was a rather strange, but difficult to explain visual change.
Li Bu Ren only felt that this small space was rapidly expanding in all directions.
Moreover, due to the increase in the volume of the space, a staircase gradually appeared in a position that did not exist before.
The expansion of space seemed endless. And the staircase that appeared in front of Li Bu Ren also seemed to extend upward all the time.
There was no end in sight.
Li Bu Ren did not step on the stairs rashly, but looked around first.
The space here is not infinitely extended like the stairs. Instead, after expanding to a certain limit, it gradually presents a strange curvature. Although it is still in an expanding state, the rate of increase in the volume of the space has slowed down a lot.
The space is gradually filling up, but there is nothing else except the heavenly ladder in front of him with a faint silver light.
In order to explore the real secret of the high wall, Li Bu Ren finally stepped on the stairs.
The next second, Li Bu Ren actually had the feeling of returning to the infinite sea.
The surroundings are filled with lines moving forward at high speed. The lines are either alone or gathered together. Some are just pure gray and white, and some are colorful.
Li Bu Ren tried to contact these lines and found that they were like the water of the infinite sea. They store and record a lot of historical and living information.
It’s just that the amount of information data is not at the same level as the real infinite sea. Li Bu Ren can bear it without pressure.
Moreover, the information in the lines has been encrypted in some way. Li Bu Ren could only glimpse some vague shadows from them.
Being in the torrent of lines, rushing forward.
It didn't take long for Li Bu Ren to get out of it.
He came to the entrance of a dim passage with a faint deathly aura.
The door that closed the passage had been blasted with a big hole for some reason. There were four broken puppets lying beside the door.
The parts of the puppets were still scattered all over the ground.
Li Bu Ren looked back at where he came from and found that this place was the end of the entrance of this passage.
"There is no boundary ahead."
"If you want to leave, you need to go through the line again."
Li Bu Ren looked at the puppets that fell not far away.
Although they have been damaged for many years, Li Bu Ren can still feel a faint threat from them.
Reaching out to pick up a piece of debris on the ground, Li Bu Ren pressed it with all his strength, but he couldn't crush it completely. It can only cause further damage.
"The materials used to forge puppets are not ordinary things."
Without choosing to entangle with these gate-guarding puppets, Li Buren flashed and escaped into the passageway.
"Hmm?"
As he flew, Li Buren keenly noticed the difference between this place and the outside starry sea.
In the ordinary starry sea, he merged into the Dao network and rode along the Dao, and it only took him three breaths to cross the darkest starry sea.
But this place seemed to be a Jedi where the Dao was not obvious.
The connection between him and the Dao network seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, and it became much more difficult.
In his mind, the shining Dao network projection instantly became a little dim. Only some specific Dao paths were not affected. It was as if the complete Dao network was burned by a fire, with only a little remnant left.
Li Buren's flying speed was greatly reduced. Even the combat power he could exert was greatly reduced.
But he was not in a hurry.
Instead, he studied this dim passage with great interest. For him, just seeing this place was worth the trip.
"In front of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance Guardian Hall, there is a long road paved with spiritual stones. The long road is a restricted area for spiritual power. Cultivators cannot fly and can only walk on foot."
"This passage also has a similar effect. However, the object of the restriction is not ordinary cultivators. It is the enlightened immortals!"
"In fact, it is not just this passage. It is all the buildings here."
The passage that Li Bu Ren was walking in also had no physical boundaries. There were only conceptual restrictions like high walls.
It forced the entrants to move in a specific direction.
"Originally, there should have been some pictures on the walls of this passage. But it seems to be damaged and not showing."
The passage was not long. When he came to the exit, Li Bu Ren suddenly looked back and felt something in his heart.
There were no more twists and turns after that. He walked out of the only round exit of light in the darkness.
An unusually messy cylindrical hollow hall appeared in front of Li Bu Ren.
The cylindrical hall was tall and its top was not visible.
It seemed a little empty as if it had experienced some kind of looting.
Following the faint death aura he had felt before, Li Bu Ren found a trace of cleaning on the ground.
"This is..."
He rubbed his fingertips on the ground, raised it and put it in front of his eyes, and actually showed an illusory and distorted face.
Screaming and screaming: "Save me!"
It was just a remaining trace, which was re-activated by Li Bu Ren with his immortal power. Unable to communicate with it, it can only mechanically repeat words such as "save me" and "run away".
Li Bu Ren shook his head slightly, and after withdrawing the immortal power, the distorted face disappeared by itself.
After a careful inspection, there were thirty-seven remnants of thoughts in the cylindrical hall. These are just the remnants.
As for those that have been cleaned up, it is even more impossible to guess.
"Judging from the strength of these remnants, they should all be left after the death of the true immortals."
"The reason why it is far inferior to the desire to survive in the dark sea is because of the difference in strength before death. The second is because of the thorough cleansing this place has suffered."
"The true immortals were slaughtered like ants. What happened here?"
In addition to the thirty-seven traces, there was nothing else in the cylindrical space.
And except for the passage when Li Bu Ren came, there seemed to be no other connection in this cylindrical hall.
The investigation was actually deadlocked for a while.
After thinking for a moment, Li Bu Ren suddenly looked at the avenues in his mind where the micro-dao network was still shining.
Gradually, he came up with an idea. He saw the body transformed by the fragments of Li Bu Ren's fairyland unfolded and folded up again.
It turned into a chess piece, hiding in other paths suppressed by this place.
Only the part that was still bright was left, which was in harmony with the existing principles of this place.
The cylindrical hall, which was originally infinite in height, suddenly shrank to a size of ninety-nine feet.
One after another, objects appeared, filling the empty hall.
On the cylindrical wall of the hall, Li Bu Ren suddenly saw countless square spaces displayed and displayed.
