Chapter 1526 Painting of the Reverse Boat
"The sky and the earth are like trees, and life is spent day and night."
"There is no reincarnation of life and death, only eternal life..."
Li Fan slowly recited the lines that belonged to Ruomu, while flipping through the other party's memory. Ruo Mu Benmu was hiding in the corner, shivering, letting Li Fan spy.
From the beginning of the Xuanhuang Realm to the present, it has definitely been an extremely long period of time. But Li Fan's review as a bystander only lasted a dozen breaths.
"This can also be called immortality..." Li Fan shook his head slightly.
Perhaps because he had been in a near-death state for a long time, Ruomu's memory was not particularly clear. There are even large sections missing at some key points. But it was enough to give Li Fan a general understanding of the Xuanhuang Realm.
From Ruomu's perspective, the Xuanhuang Realm can be roughly divided into three periods.
In the first paragraph, Xuanhuang first came to the sect of cultivating immortals. At this time, the Xuanhuang Realm is still under the control of the Immortal Realm. Ruomu even preserved the memory of the time when the True Immortal used himself to balance and adjust the life span of all creatures in the world.
In the second paragraph, the fairy world is shattered and the Xuantian Sect is suddenly destroyed. During this period, King Xuantian replaced the True Immortal and became the helmsman of the Xuanhuang Realm. The various marks of transformation on Ruomu and the Xuanhuang Realm are still left on Ruomu's body.
The third period is from the time when the Ten Immortal Sects took power to the present day.
This is also Ruomu's most free period of time. The ten sects of the Immortal Way, and even the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Dharma-Transmitting Heavenly Lord behind them. Although they claim to be able to control Ruomu and divide Ruomu's longevity fruit. But in fact, it is qualitatively different from the previous True Immortal and Xuantian King.
What they call taking charge is just waiting for the fruits to ripen and then picking them. But once the vitality flow in the Xuanhuang Realm fails to make ends meet and cannot bear fruit, they have no choice but to do anything.
But in the past, the True Immortal and Xuantian King could use Ruomu to forcibly extract the vitality of all living creatures in the Xuanhuang Realm and condense the longevity fruit.
In short, there is a huge difference between the real controller of Ruomu and the user.
This is also the reason why the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance sat back and did nothing after Ruo Mu fell ill and lost vitality. Whether it was heavenly medicine or teaching, they had all wanted to save Ruomu. The reason why he returned without success was because of the unique creation restrictions in Ruo Mu's body.
Created by a true immortal, naturally only a true immortal can control it.
What's more, Ruomu and even the entire Xuanhuang Realm are not just ordinary true immortal creations.
However, at this moment, through the huge vitality in his body, he gained absolute control of Ruomu. Li Fan was obviously just a mortal, but he felt so familiar with the restrictions on Ruo Mu.
The theoretical distance between immortals and mortals and the abyss did not stop him.
As if it came naturally, relying only on instinct, Li Fan completed the crack and intrusion within a few breaths after realizing the existence of the restriction.
The heavily guarded Immortal Family Restriction seemed to be completely defenseless in front of the abundant greenery controlled by Li Fan!
At this moment, Li Fan not only became [Ruo Mu]. He also became the master of [Ruomu].
The core of the ancient tree that has regained its vitality is covered with extremely complicated patterns.
Although Li Fan seemed to be meeting them for the first time, after a moment of observation, he could quickly figure out the meaning of these patterns.
What Li Fan is very concerned about is that it should be the modification mark left by King Xuantian.
After careful consideration, Li Fan had some idea of King Xuan Tian's intention to modify Ruo Mu.
"In Ziruomu, part of the vitality is transformed and can be used independently."
"Perhaps this is also one of the important reasons why the flow of vitality in Xuanhuang Heaven and Earth is out of balance and Ruomu withered rapidly. But, where did this transferred vitality go?"
Li Fan frowned slightly, his perspective suddenly narrowed, and he looked around Ruomu.
Regarding King Xuantian, Li Fan currently does not have many memories that he can recall. But whether it was his own intuitive impression or what he saw in Ruomu's memory. This Xuantian King is definitely among the strongest in the entire history of the Xuanhuang Realm.
Even though he had disappeared for many years, Li Fan still did not dare to be careless.
Ruomu is covered with black and yellow.
Soon Li Fan followed one of its branches and tracked the separated vitality.
A seemingly ordinary Taoist temple.
In the Taoist temple, there is an old man and a young Taoist boy. And an ordinary pool of water.
The old man's Nascent Soul cultivation level, the young child does not seem to be human.
And finally...
"Um?"
After witnessing this scene, Li Fan felt an instinctive sense of crisis in his heart. But it didn't come from the old and the young, but from the pool of water?
The scene of countless exotic treasures shining like stars in the pool suddenly appeared in Li Fan's mind.
At the end of the picture, there is a terrifying scene of a cat leaping up and swallowing all the treasures in the sky.
"Fishing pond..."
"cat?"
Li Fan couldn't help but stop his progress. Even though the current body is just transformed from the Ruomu branch he controlled.
I didn't enter the Taoist temple, I just watched from a distance, as if the life flowed out of the tree was going.
After careful identification, Li Fan discovered that life was not directed to Taoist temples or fishing ponds. But in the nearby mountains and forests.
It's just that the two are very close, and the fishing pond is too conspicuous, which made Li Fan misjudge when he first saw it.
Putting the fishing pond aside for the moment, Li Fan tracked to the place where Ruo Mu was diverted by life.
After stepping into the underground space here, he couldn't help but be surprised.
"This method of condensation..."
"Although vitality is gathering in large quantities, it has not overflowed at all. If I were not Ruomu at this moment, I would not be able to sense the vitality gathering below even if I stood on the ground!"
"It is worth learning from."
Li Fan's biggest problem now is the uncontrolled overflow of vitality. The vitality contained in his body is really too huge. Even if only one billionth of the aura around him overflows, it is undoubtedly an absolute treasure for outsiders. This situation becomes more and more serious as Li Fan stimulates the potential of vitality.
At this moment, he actually found a solution here and could not help but observe it carefully.
It seems that even with his lost memory, he only has a partial understanding of the layout here. This time Li Fan was really surprised.
This is the first time he has encountered such a situation since he started a new round of simulation.
"Although I can't explain it, I can lock the usefulness of vitality."
Li Fan's eyes swept around.
In this underground space, there is a village buried. In addition to some building objects, there are no other creatures in the village. On the one hand, the vitality of Ruomu that was guided in maintained the original state of the village.
On the other hand, all of them gathered in one of the houses in the village.
"From the time of Xuan Tian Wang's transformation to now, the vitality that has been continuously extracted and introduced has already added up to an extremely large number. Although it is still not as much as one ten-thousandth of mine, it is far from the scale that is now displayed."
Li Fan's heart tightened, and after thinking for a moment, he finally approached slowly.
He stood outside the house for a moment, and finally pushed the door in.
According to the flow of vitality, he passed through the courtyard and came to a room in the center of the back house.
Li Fan's steps stopped instantly.
Because he vaguely saw through the doors and windows that there seemed to be a figure standing inside!
However, through the observation of Ruomu's gathering of vitality, Li Fan finally determined that the figure did not seem to be a living creature in the ordinary sense.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Fan decided to find out.
The facts were indeed as he guessed.
The so-called "figure" in the house was just a portrait.
"Why does this portrait need vitality?" A trace of doubt flashed through Li Fan's mind.
The picture depicts a scene of several young children playing together in the mountains. Among this group of children, there is a boy and a girl, holding hands together. Li Fan felt a little familiar the moment he saw it.
"This is King Xuantian. And..."
It seemed that another switch was triggered. The picture that flashed in Li Fan's mind told him that the person next to King Xuantian should be his childhood sweetheart.
Li Fan pressed his temple to restore his brain, which had just exploded in an instant because it could not bear the sudden influx of information. Then he continued to observe the scroll in front of him.
Because of the infusion of a lot of vitality, the children in this painting seemed to come alive.
Especially King Xuantian, his eyes looked forward. It seemed to be looking outside the painting!
In an instant, Li Fan almost had an illusion. The young King Xuantian seemed to look at him!
But after further research, Li Fan found that the young King Xuantian was not the most special in this painting.
In an inconspicuous corner of the picture, outside a house in the village, a ragged long-haired man was lying.
His face was hidden by his beard and hair, so he couldn't see it clearly.
However, the man looked at the group of children playing outside the village from a distance, revealing a strange look.
On the man's chest, there was a palm-sized wooden boat.
Looking closely, the faces of the children outside the village could also be vaguely seen from the window of the wooden boat!
"What does this mean?"
This painting seemed to have a special magic, and it attracted Li Fan's mind unconsciously.
And no matter what he was thinking about in his mind, he would eventually look at the wooden boat.
The wooden boat seemed to have experienced the baptism of the vicissitudes of time, and it had become scarred and dilapidated. It seemed that it would completely shatter in the next moment.
However, it seemed that it was nourished by infinite vitality, and it could barely maintain its original shape.
As Li Fan looked at it, he was in a trance and saw his own figure from the window of the wooden boat. Just when he couldn't help but reach out his hand and wanted to touch the wooden boat.
He met the eyes of his reflection.
The memory that had disappeared suddenly revived a little. Li Fan couldn't help but retract his hand as if he was electrocuted.
"King Xuantian seems to be the luckiest person in the history of Xuanhuang Realm. He can always turn danger into safety and turn disaster into blessing. Even the destruction of the fairy world and the death of countless immortals, he can safely escape..."
Li Fan's sight is focused on the wooden boat in the scroll: "Could it be that this is the legendary [Reverse Boat]?"
"Three Treasures of Escape from the World..."
Li Fan forcibly summoned vitality to repair his serious injuries in an effort to remember more.
"However, this is obviously a treasure that was created after the destruction of the fairy world. How could it appear in the hands of King Xuantian before the great catastrophe came?"
"Reverse... Could it be that it really succeeded?"
Li Fan couldn't help but turn his sight to the sloppy man holding the wooden boat.
After all, the current body is not enough to support Li Fan to recover all his memories.
Li Fan temporarily withdrew from his memories.
Looking at the scroll in front of him, he showed a rare hesitation.
This painting has been nourished by Ruomu's vitality for ten thousand years.
At this moment, Li Fan has become the new Ruomu. Theoretically speaking, he is fully capable of using vitality to take the scroll away.
However, what he needs to face next is the unknown danger hidden in the scroll.
Li Fan did not take any action for the time being, thinking about the disappearance of King Xuan Tian.
"I seem to have investigated this matter before. King Xuan Tian should have disappeared in the fishing pond in the end."
"As for whether he disappeared actively or passively..."
"Then this scroll was left intentionally. Was it for her childhood sweetheart? But he did not mention this in his message. Obviously, he did not want her to know."
"If the scroll really hides the Nixing Boat. Then why did King Xuan Tian abandon such a treasure that can change fate?"
...
These questions obviously cannot be answered just by thinking.
In the Great Xuan Small World, in the Tai Shi Mansion of Xuanjing City. Li Fan tried it to ensure that he could return to the beginning of the simulation at any time. After feeling the huge vitality in himself, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and Li Fan made up his mind.
"If you are timid, you will never achieve great things. It's just a simulation. Even if you are seriously injured again, it will only cause you to lose your memory again and be fed a few bowls of talisman water."
"Rather than leaving this mystery as a disaster, it is better to find out its true face now!"
"Since the vitality is useful to it, give it to it!"
...
In the Xuanhuang Realm, Li Fan also took action.
The doubt in his eyes disappeared, and he slowly exhaled a breath of longevity and rushed to the scroll in front.
This wisp of longevity was condensed by him since he practiced in this life.
Compared with the vitality given to Kou Hong, Dao Xuanzi, and even used to take over Ruo Mu, it is far more than several orders of magnitude.
Even Li Fan himself turned pale after releasing this condensed energy.
But the effect was immediate.
Li Fan stared at the changes in front.
Faced with the sudden arrival of vitality, the scroll also accepted it all. No matter how much vitality there was, it would take it all.
A hint of green appeared in the painting.
The picture also changed accordingly because of the influx of vitality.
On the ground, green grass and flowers grew everywhere. In the sky, colorful clouds rolled down.
The wooden boat, which was almost rotten and damaged, became brand new at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The change of the wooden boat attracted the attention of the sloppy man who was in charge of it.
His beard and hair fluttered, revealing his hidden true face.
The man suddenly raised his head and looked outside the painting.
He met Li Fan's eyes.
Then Li Fan felt dizzy and his consciousness was instantly sucked into the painting!
Before he could struggle, he felt a hand pressing on his shoulder.
"The road to immortality?"
The sloppy man opposite him said in a surprised tone.
