Chapter 1520: Obtaining the Fortune of Immortality
According to common sense, with the power displayed by the green fragment in the picture, the aging Lord Shouqiu should be absolutely inaccessible.
Even whether Duke Shouqiu could survive in the infinite sea at that time was still a big question mark.
But maybe it was the green fragment's own choice, and it was destined by fate.
In short, Duke Shouqiu came to the fragment safely.
The fragments shined brightly on the infinite sea floor, temporarily freezing the surrounding turbulent whirlpool. Therefore, Lord Shouqiu was able to pass through many obstacles and touch the green fragments.
Then, although the whirlpool became still, it stopped again. It even roared more violently, but it could no longer do anything to the Lord Shouqiu who was surrounded by vitality.
No matter how time passes and the great ways of the world arise and die, they cannot affect Shouqiu Gong who holds the [Immortality] in the slightest.
This is true immortality!
If you get this path, you can cross the mountains and seas without worries forever.
The gray beard and hair turned black again, and all the aging and decay on the body disappeared. Duke Shouqiu, who had regained his youth, stepped slowly and walked out of the depths of the infinite sea without any pressure. Wherever he passed, the green light seemed to condense into a road across the mountains and seas.
Even if there are roaring mountains, tsunami, stormy waves, this road to eternal life will always be treated as if it is nothing.
When Lord Shouqiu returned from the Infinite Sea, the endless green light on the road to immortality also disintegrated. Scattered all over the sky.
Many of them were swallowed up by the waves and entered the infinite possibilities bred in the infinite sea. But Duke Shouqiu didn't care at all.
Returning to the mountains and seaside, I have stuck to the familiar place that I have stayed at for almost half my life. Lord Shou Qiu sat cross-legged as usual, guarding the hill and looking at the sea.
as always.
…
When Li Fan was immersed in the pictures of that year, Chengdao's voice also came to his ears.
"Master is the true master of [Immortal Life]. However, he has no intention of monopolizing it and is willing to share it with me. Gein, the infinite attribute of Immortality."
"Just like the infinity of mountains and seas, those who achieve immortality can have endless lifespan. Even if they share all the living creatures in the world, what each person can gain is infinite."
"The way to ascend to immortality is to connect mountains and seas. And this magical method of immortality is to connect to immortality!"
"It is said: Mountains and seas carry things, and lone stars appear. The heaven and earth have their beginnings, and immortality is prosperous. All realms are spread out, and all spirits and gods are present. Once you have synesthesia, you can seek the truth to perfection. Everything you think will be answered, and what you think will come true..."
Li Fan held his breath and concentrated, focusing as never before. Keep Chengdao's words in mind, word for word, and reflect on it over and over again.
On the surface, it seems that this is not just a simple description of magical powers. Rather, it is like a poem, written and sung by the Qiu Gong when he was guarding the Qiu by the mountains and seas.
The vicissitudes of ancient sounds have crossed mountains and seas and penetrated time. It fell into Li Fan's ears at this moment.
With the help of Duke Shouqiu's eyes, Li Fan seemed to see the changes over time in the boundless mountains and seas. The passage of time in the phantom seems like reality. Li Fan could vaguely sense its erosion on him.
But Shouqiu's song of immortality firmly protected him. This saved Li Fan from the pain of passage of time.
One movement and one stillness, one extinguishment of life, annihilation of eternity...
All these differences made Li Fan vaguely realize what immortality is.
"The ocean is infinite. The mountains are powerful."
"There is still truth and longevity."
"It seems that each of these creations at the level of mountains and seas represents its own supreme power. The mountains above can create true immortals in the world. And the infinite sea can make true immortals leap in strength and obtain infinite attributes."
"I'm really..."
"In the blink of an eye, mountains and seas can be overthrown and returned to the past. When true and false, false is also true. Everything may be like a dream, or it may become real in a single thought."
Li Fan couldn't help but recall every bit of his use of [Huan Zhen]. Every change of understanding the truth and falsehood is like the process of the two saints connecting mountains and returning to the sea, opening up mountains and seas, and creating the fairyland.
"Actually, the principles are the same. They all create a path from scratch. It's just that the destinations reached by these three paths are different."
Li Fan combined his own experience to figure out the longevity poems left by Shou Qiu Gong.
He was pleasantly surprised to find that maybe it was exactly what he had guessed. There are many similarities between the three principles. Already on both roads, we have traveled a long distance.
At this moment, Li Fan entered the third avenue again. After thinking about it for a while, he became familiar with it.
Then, in Chengdao's extremely shocked eyes, a burst of green pillars suddenly emerged from Li Fan's body.
The vigorous vitality that broke out in it was billions of times greater than the accumulation within the high wall in the past hundred years. In just a few breaths, life and death can be reversed. This made the darkest sea of stars, which was originally completely silent, with only the Xuanhuang Realm and the Ancient Immortal Realm covered by life, no longer dark. And it was full of light.
Any creature that glimpses this green light will have its life span increased by at least ten times. And those creatures who were lucky enough to absorb the few fragments after the green light pillar disintegrated and scattered, have become the so-called immortal species in the world. It has the same lifespan as heaven and earth, and will be immortal for all eons.
As for Li Fan...
Although it looks peaceful on the surface.
But staring at the Huanzhen panel, my heart was filled with huge waves.
The age numbers that were originally like a countdown to the end of the world have now disappeared.
It just turned into an extremely strange green symbol.
It's like a broken corner of something, but it has its own complete characteristics. Although this symbol seemed to have only a few strokes, Li Fan could not see it completely.
Just the thought of seeing it clearly came to his mind, and he felt dizzy. It was as if he had drunk wine for three days and three nights, and his stomach and soul were all turned upside down.
Li Fan was forced to suppress the idea of finding out.
However, this discomfort was not what surprised Li Fan the most. What really made him think a lot was the unstable and ever-changing state of the green symbol.
That's right, this green longevity symbol is not always and fixedly displayed on the Huanzhen panel. It just appears alternately with the original age number.
Each one is true.
None of them is true.
"Could it be that this is because the real owner of [Eternal Life] is not me. It is Shouqiu Gong. I was only able to touch the threshold of immortality by using the passage left by Shouqiu Gong after he walked. Once Shouqiu Gong chooses to close this passage, I will lose the ability of immortality."
"It's like the original bone once followed me to sneak back to the anchor point. Although he also experienced the change of true and false, it was based on my mastery of everything. In the next life, the original bone was refined into a pillar of heaven. But he did not really obtain the great power of [Return to True]..."
"Shouqiu Gong can share [Eternal Life] with others at will, but I can't teach anyone the magical power of true and false. This seems to show that he has completely mastered [The Great Way of Immortality]. But I have not really mastered the return to true."
...
In an instant, thousands of thoughts emerged in Li Fan's mind. Completely occupied his mind.
So that he didn't have time to experience the real taste of immortality.
Then, a sense of crisis surged into Li Fan's heart for no reason.
The feeling of being watched by the Great Sage of Jingfen reappeared. This time, although the feeling was a little weaker, the crisis that instinctively surged in his heart was even more intense.
Li Fan knew in his heart that when he really came into contact with the Great Dao of Longevity through the wonderful method left by Shouqiu Gong, even with the blessing of Huan Yizhen, he could not stop the induction of the master of the Great Dao of Longevity.
But perhaps it was because Shouqiu Gong himself was not in the world of Shanhai. Although he sensed Li Fan, the sudden intruder, Shouqiu Gong did not come immediately.
But Li Fan had a premonition. Once Shouqiu Gong returned to Shanhai, I am afraid that the first thing he would do was to come to Li Fan. Take a look at the details of this person who suddenly proved longevity.
"It seems that I can't stay in this life for long." Li Fan sighed in his heart.
At the beginning of practicing and comprehending this longevity poem, Li Fan had already had a premonition. What he did next would definitely alarm Shouqiu Gong.
But he still did it.
After all, the Great Dao of Longevity is just around the corner. How many people can resist the temptation?
What's more, Li Fan has Huanzhen to back him up. He has the confidence to experience it once and then run away immediately.
Lord Shouqiu will return and descend at any time. At this moment, Li Fan is on pins and needles.
But he did not choose to leave immediately.
Instead, he seized this last time and continued to savor the longevity in himself.
"In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing surprising."
"It's nothing more than the two words [Longevity]. But because of the simplicity, it is the most holy. Just like [Huanzhen], the change between truth and falsehood can be seen to ignore everything in the world. This simple word of longevity can also ignore all disasters in the world."
"Although I don't have the full power of longevity, I still have the confidence to float in the catastrophe of Daoyan without falling. What's more, the lord of longevity, Lord Shouqiu."
In a sense, Li Fan, who has obtained the fortune of longevity, has already met the conditions to become a transcendent strong man. It's just that it comes from the gift of others, not his own practice.
Shouqiu took back the fortune, or closed the channel and stopped sharing with others. Then Li Fan would be beaten back to his original form in an instant.
Even though he knew that the fortune of longevity in his hand was only temporary. Now Li Fan was unwilling to let go in a short time.
Just like the older the person, the more afraid of death. The real owner is more afraid of losing.
Holding a weight of ten thousand pounds, but reluctant to let go.
Li Fan was hungry and thirsty, seizing the last time to comprehend the longevity.
He was so indifferent. But Chengdao, who taught him the magic method, was not so calm.
As if his energy was drained, Chengdao stared at Li Fan, who suddenly realized the truth, and wanted to say something but stopped.
He was extremely lost.
Even the nourishment of the longevity fortune could not drive away the aging that emerged from his inside out.
After a long time, Cheng Dao couldn't help but ask, "Junior brother... have you realized it?"
Li Fan nodded slightly: "Thank you for your advice. I do understand."
The remaining luck in his heart was completely shattered. With Cheng Dao's belief, he couldn't help but be stunned. It was even difficult to understand, and he complained to himself: "I have been on this road for many years. But I only vaguely see the shadow of true immortality."
"Junior brother, you have been uneasy recently, probably because you can't see the hope of transcendence and are trapped in the worry of life. So you are teaching the law for the master."
"But I didn't expect..."
Cheng Dao smiled bitterly three times in a row: "You, who just started the road, not only surpassed me in a flash. You are even standing at the finish line?"
He looked blankly at the sky: "Master. Is it your preference, or is your disciple stupid?"
Although in this life, the relationship between the two is a real brother and a fake brother. But Cheng Dao's actions have left a very good impression on Li Fan.
Seeing that he was confused at this moment, Li Fan, while comprehending the great way of immortality, did not forget to comfort him.
"Brother, don't be discouraged. In my opinion, it's not a good thing to walk fast on this road."
"For some reason, I have a very good affinity with this road. I don't walk step by step. Instead, I fly directly from the starting point to the end point. It's fast, but it doesn't leave any mark of my own. If one day, Master cuts off the path, I will fall from the sky in an instant. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave any immortality."
"But you are different, Brother."
"First, you originally practiced the method of [Inheriting the Tao]. Following the steps of others coincides with your path. Second, this road is the one you have walked slowly and personally over the long years. It is covered with your footprints. Even if one day, Master really cuts off the road, relying on the footprints you left, you can still retain some of the power of immortality to a certain extent. Not to mention being with the mountains and seas. It's not difficult to be comparable to transcendence."
...
Li Fan slowly advised.
At this moment, it seemed as if the identities had been swapped. Li Fan was the senior brother who had long been enlightened, and Cheng Dao was the junior brother who had just embarked on the path of cultivation.
Cheng Dao thought for a long time before he realized that what Li Fan said was true.
He felt much better immediately.
However, the depression in his heart could not be eliminated in a short time. He could not help but laugh at himself: "In my opinion, you, the junior brother, are the real disciple of Shouqiu. And I am just a lucky, stubborn stone by the sea."
Li Fan smiled bitterly and did not say anything else.
Although he envied, Cheng Dao did not feel jealous at all.
After a few days, after adjusting his mentality. The atmosphere of communication between the two returned to the past.
But now, the one who often gave instructions has changed to Li Fan.
And the listener has become Cheng Dao.
Cheng Dao did not feel ashamed or unhappy because of this.
With the guidance of Li Fan, a pioneer and a person who has reached the end, his understanding of longevity and destiny is also advancing by leaps and bounds.
And the depth of his foundation is far beyond what Li Fan can match.
Li Fan was not confused by his amazing performance of proving the truth in one day.
He knew in his heart that the reason why he could realize the truth so smoothly was definitely related to Huanzhen.
"Either, he gave Huanzhen a face."
"Or, he sensed that I was the Lord of Huanzhen and deliberately let me go to leave a mark."
"No matter what the reason is, my current situation is very dangerous."
Li Fan also looked out into the sky.
