Chapter 1473: The Origin of the Ossified Column
It was as if the fallen nameless immortal was reborn from the withered bones.
The light was jumping and changing, and the blurred figure appeared from the overlapping bones of the immortal.
The immortal realm around the figure was distorted with its center. It seemed that this nameless figure was rejecting all the great laws that constituted the immortal realm.
And Li Fan, with the help of the power of Shouqiu Gong's phantom, could vaguely see that the nameless figure was not completely rejecting. After clearly separating from the immortal realm, it was quietly transforming everything it came into contact with. And integrating it into itself.
Perhaps it is not appropriate to describe it as "absorption". The word "transformation" is more appropriate.
Those disappeared parts of the immortal realm were not absorbed by the nameless immortal figure. Instead, under the influence of unpredictable power, they became an existence that was almost the same as the essence of the figure.
All this was exactly the same as the scene when Li Fan saw the first immortal realm unfold and the wordless monument appeared.
All things return to their original state, returning to the wordless monument; the evolution of the Tao, tracing back to the origin of the Tao!
At this moment, Li Fan saw clearly the Tao that the figure of the nameless immortal was in.
"【Original Beginning】."
The weight of these two words is so heavy that there is no need to say more.
It can re-establish the earth, fire, water and wind, making the world return to its original state.
The immortal pillar that was originally used to resist the annihilation of the Tao, after revealing its true form, turned into a vortex source that swallowed the fairyland.
The speed outside the fairyland was faster than Li Fan expected.
What made Li Fan even more shocked was that with the increase of the origin of the Tao in this space, the figure of the nameless immortal became blurred again. It was as if he was about to escape from this virtual space at any time.
Even with the help of Shouqiu Gong's virtual vision, he began to lose some grasp of the specific location of 【Original Beginning】.
Knowing that delay would lead to changes, Li Fan no longer hesitated.
On the Taishi chair, it was as if tens of billions of supernovas exploded at the same time. The projection of the Dao network of Li Buren's mind suddenly turned into a dazzling white light.
In the virtual space, a pair of tangible giant hands suddenly descended.
From the illusion to the reality, they suddenly grabbed [Yuanshi] who was in the center of the disintegrating fairyland.
The stiffness lasted only a few breaths, and the winner was soon decided.
In this confrontation, Li Fan also glimpsed some clues of the power of both sides.
Yuanshi is the beginning of the Dao. Although sacred and unpredictable, it is still the embodiment of the power of the Dao.
And the power of Shouqiu Gong seems to be closer to [Mountains and Seas]. Even [Yuanshi], who has a transcendent status among the three thousand great ways, has to be bound obediently.
"Even though this skeleton only represents a part of the power of [Yuanshi]. But what can compete with it is only the phantom left by Shouqiu Gong."
"The changes observed at this moment are enough to show that Shouqiu Gong's strength is even higher than [Yuanshi]."
"Shouqiu looks at the sea..."
To fight against the disaster that can even annihilate the Great Dao with one's own strength, this is obviously beyond the upper limit of the ability of "cultivators of immortality and enlightenment".
"The only one who controls the sea is the mountain."
"But what exactly does this [mountain] refer to?"
The earth-shaking arrival of the phantom of Yuanshi was suppressed silently.
Under the precise manipulation of Li Buren, the pair of tangible big hands, together with the remaining fairyland and the fragments of the wordless stele, were compressed into a lonely stone pillar.
Then it was thrown towards the area in the starry sky of the experimental field inside the high wall where the Daoyan black gas appeared most frequently.
The effect can be said to be immediate.
The heart-pounding obscure fluctuations disappeared in an instant as if they had never existed.
The Daoyan black gas, which would not disappear without reason but would only intensify, also slowly dissipated like water without a source.
"As expected of [Yuanshi], it occupies an absolutely important link in the countless laws of heaven and earth. The effect of supporting Daoyan is better than I imagined."
"No wonder it was chosen as the material for building the Nanxian Tianzhu." Li Fan observed the [Daozhu].
After the initial appearance, only a few breaths of time passed, and at this moment it has melted into the Dao of heaven and earth like ice in water.
Ordinary people have no chance to see it.
Even Li Fan himself could only vaguely see that there seemed to be something wrong in that space. But he could not get to the bottom of it.
Only with the help of Shouqiu Gong's vision can we see through it.
"In addition to the Southern Immortal Heavenly Pillar, other immortal pillars may also hide the nameless skeleton that is no less powerful than the Dao of [Original Beginning]."
"These things should be the remains left after the nameless transcended."
From the memories of Qian Ruochang and Wuxian, Li Fan glimpsed many secrets.
After the True Immortal transcended and escaped from the shackles of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, this possibility no longer exists.
This is also one of the reasons that Li Fan had guessed before, which led to the coming of the Dao Annihilation Disaster.
But obviously, these masters who have cultivated to the pinnacle of True Immortals do not all completely disregard the lives of other people of the same kind.
"According to Qian Ruochang, before they transcended, they would leave behind remains, phantoms, treasures, etc., and would assume some of the responsibilities of the missing Great Dao."
"These immortal pillars should be left by the immortals who transcended in the past."
"However, compared with Shouqiu Gong's method of [Phantom Inheriting Dao], this method of leaving remains seems..."
Li Fan observed the stone pillars and recalled that the Yuanshi skeleton seemed to have consciousness and wanted to follow him to [return to the true] together. There was also a sign that the Yuanshi figure appeared after two identical skeletons overlapped.
"It's not like Chengdao Phantom, which is completely independent of itself. Even if it can be abandoned for a while, but..."
Li Fan pondered deeply: "After jumping out of the small transcendence of possibilities, there is the great transcendence of countless possibilities [unification]. That is the true transcendence."
"If you want to take this step, I'm afraid you still have to take back what you have left behind."
Li Fan understood clearly in his heart.
I'm afraid this is the reason why some transcendent true immortals are unwilling to leave behind the things that hold the way.
Li Fan thought that all the sequelae caused by using the power of Shouqiu Gong's shadow had been eliminated.
The two Yuanshi Bones served as immortal pillars, and as Li Fan guessed, they shared part of the pressure of the phantom Chengdao.
Li Fan felt slightly: "If it is quantified, it is about one and one-third of the power of the [Original] Bone, which can be used by me at will."
"You only need to consider the changes in direction that Li Buren suffered, and don't have to worry about the sudden collapse of heaven and the annihilation of Tao coming to the world."
"Of course, as time goes by, the pressure of Dao Annihilation must be increasing. The power used will gradually weaken."
But Li Fan is already very satisfied with the current results.
"In other words, if I can capture another nameless true immortal and serve as an immortal pillar, I can use some of my power."
"Until the power of Wu Daoshou Qiu Gong's shadow is completely released."
Li Fan was imagining, but the bad situation coming from Li Buren's mind instantly brought him back to reality.
Using Shouqiu Gong's shadow one after another, Li Buren withstood the erosion of power far beyond his limit.
Li Fan focused his thoughts on the projection of the clone's Taoist network. Suddenly, he seemed to see the figure hiding with his back to the mountain, guarding the hill and looking at the sea.
After breaking into a sweat for no reason, he broke away from the hallucination.
"Even though Shouqiu Phantom has no malicious intent, calling it so frequently is like injection molding with a huge external force. The clone is uncontrollably deformed from the inside out."
"If it's an analogy, it was the same reason when Tiandaobai came to the world with the help of my clone."
Knowing that he should not act too hastily, Li Fan temporarily put an end to the idea of continuing to call Shouqiu Xuying in the short term.
"Unless there are uncontrollable circumstances."
"Now, we still need to trace the origin. First, change the clone back to its original appearance."
This is not a difficult problem for Li Fan.
With this deity as an anchor, he can compare with each other and chip away at the influence brought by Shou Qiu Gong step by step like bone and flesh.
It's just troublesome and time-consuming.
"After completing the recovery, we still need to find ways to strengthen the clone's endurance."
"Otherwise, even if the nameless power is in hand, the time that can be used is limited."
Li Fan already had a vague idea about this.
Lord Shouqiu's power seems to come from the mountains and sea.
The only people who can control mountains and seas are mountains and seas.
And there happened to be something in Li Fan that was related to the "sea".
"The power of ink to kill the immortal soul."
Even by swallowing the immortal soul of heaven and earth, Mo Shahedao can freely exert this mysterious power.
But before, Li Fan didn't fully understand the nature of the power of "Ink Killing Immortal Soul".
But now, after receiving Wanghai's insights from Shouqiu Gong for more than a hundred eons, Li Fan vaguely realized something.
The Tao Network projection in Li Buren's mind seemed to have been violently stretched, twisted and deformed. Even for the time being, I was somewhat disconnected from my connection with myself.
Li Fan was not in a hurry and went there in person. Instead, he sat firmly in the middle of the army and remained motionless.
While slowly restoring the Dao Network projection, he injected the power of the ink-killing immortal soul into the clone's restored spiritual thoughts.
"The black energy is a sign of imminent Dao annihilation."
"It's like the waves formed by the sea water hitting the mountain."
"In other words, it's the blending of mountains and seas." Li Fan's eyes flashed.
With the infusion of ink, the originally pure and eye-catching Dao network projection seemed to be cast with a layer of shadow and black edges.
Although it still reflects the avenue of the heavens.
But it's a little more different than before.
In Li Fan's instinctive perception, it is this projection network that is a little "stronger".
But Li Fan was not in a hurry to do experiments.
But over and over again, as if I were constantly sketching with a brush.
The clone Li Buren's spiritual thoughts completely changed from imaginary to real under such repeated repetitions.
The entire body seems to be made up of the projection and manifestation of the Tao Network.
The power of Mo Shaxian Soul is used as filling flesh and blood.
A brand new body was finally born after Li Fan's careful carving.
Li Buren clenched his fist. Although he no longer had the immortal body, his strength seemed to have become weaker.
But he clearly felt that he had become more "resistant to beatings".
Looking into the starry sky at the test site, there is still some remaining Dao Oblivion black energy.
Li Buren's face was expressionless, and he opened his mouth wide and swallowed the dissipating black gas clouds directly into his belly.
The billowing black energy that could destroy everything in the world was churning in Li Buren's belly.
Li Buren only felt a sharp pain.
However, the body itself did not dissipate.
If it were before, the fragmented body of the Immortal Realm would definitely not have such a powerful effect.
"As expected."
The verification in my heart was confirmed. Li Fan felt the turmoil in his clone's belly.
"The collision of mountains and sea."
His thoughts seemed to go back to the long years of more than a hundred kalpas recorded in "Shouqiu Manbi".
Looking at the vast ocean, it constantly washes over the mountain below.
Every collision between the two brings about some changes in the mortal world.
"What a pity. The Shouqiu inheritance is shared by other fairyland chess pieces, otherwise I should be able to peek into the true meaning of the mountain and the sea." After a long period of observation and perception, it was always fruitless.
Li Fan had to regretfully withdraw from that mysterious state.
The mountain and the sea are obviously not things in the mortal world.
Even if it is just an immersive visualization, it also brings corresponding changes to Li Fan.
The most intuitive is life span.
After entering the semi-immortal realm, Li Fan's life span is infinite. It is equivalent to this mortal world, 7.36 million years.
Although it is not a fixed number, it will change with Li Fan's behavior and actions. But it is also limited to the thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones below the ten thousand level.
But now, this life span has suddenly dropped sharply.
It has been reduced by one third at once!
Li Fan stared at the number, and his expression became a little subtle.
"Logically speaking, the stronger I am, the higher the possibility of saving the entire world."
"Theoretically, this lifespan should have skyrocketed."
"How come I peeked into the secrets of the mountains and the sea, and the future survival of the entire world has also been sharply reduced?"
Li Fan was puzzled.
But obviously, this is not a good omen.
Li Fan did not bite the bullet and continue.
"The secrets of the mountains and the sea seem to be beyond my reach now."
"I should first improve the body of the clone and increase its bearing capacity."
"If the power of Shouqiu Gong's phantom is fully developed, it should be enough for me to dominate this broken possibility."
Now for Li Fan, the power of the phantom in the test field is like a scale. If you want to call on Shouqiu's power, you must first put an equal weight on it.
"I can now use without pressure only one and a third of the power of the [Yuanshi] bone. Yuanshi Dao, the immortal of all Daos. Even if there are only bones left, it should not be much weaker than the ordinary nameless true immortal."
"If it doesn't work, I can release more power of Shouqiu."
Li Fan thought about the next hunting target.
There are not many nameless true immortals whose identities are known at present.
Li Fan first looked at the fairy ruins outside the Xuanhuang Realm.
In addition to the hungry immortal who was faintly close to the realm of the nameless true immortal, there was also the power under her that might be left by the previous hungry immortal to support Daoyan.
Although the hungry immortal was trampled by Xie Subai at will, she didn't know it.
But with Li Fan's current strength, if he wanted to plot against her, he still needed to make a careful plan.
And Li Fan not only wanted to capture the true immortal with the current power.
He also wanted to be more greedy and capture the real [Hungry Immortal] who had achieved the nameless realm.
