Chapter 1544: Capturing the Great Celestial Lord
Trembling in excitement, trembling in excitement, despairing in fear.
Finally, it disappeared above the mountains and seas and turned into a bridge.
It created a road for the tribe to go from the sea to the mountains.
…
Li Fan carefully read this passage in the fable dozens of times, trying to understand the picture it depicted. However, the fable was vague about the details and only explained the ending of the first creature.
But it is understandable.
The past events of the mountains and seas recorded in this fable are already secrets far beyond the mortal world. If it also involves the outside of the mountains and seas...
Then Li Fan must first doubt the authenticity of this fable.
After all, the fable records that the ending of the first creature who looked beyond the mountains and seas was that he died and turned into a bridge to connect the mountains and seas. So unless this former creature comes back to life and records what he saw. Otherwise, no one else in the mortal world of mountains and seas will know what he saw.
In fact, Li Fan is not particularly curious about things outside the mountains and seas. Because it is too far away from Li Fan now. There is no use in making unwarranted guesses, it will only add to the troubles.
What Li Fan cares more about is this passage in the fable.
"Born in the sea, standing on the mountain. Therefore, the sight can go beyond the mountains and seas..."
"It seems to explain the way to transcend the mountains and seas." Li Fan pondered in his heart.
The past of this first creature recorded in the fable is similar to the deeds of the two saints Lianshan and Guihai in the fairy world.
If we look at the deeds of connecting the mountains and seas, it seems that he has the characteristics of two saints. But the two saints are still in the mountains and seas, not as the fable says.
"If there is really any connection between them, perhaps it is because of the existence of the [bridge] transformed by this first creature before the ancient times that the two saints Lianshan and Guihai, countless years later, have achieved success in proving the Tao."
"It is also from this corpse called [bridge] that the two saints also peeked into the past of the mountains and seas." Li Fan made a reasonable guess in his heart.
"Then the author of this fable is worth pondering. He knows the future end of the world and the ancient times. He also has a close relationship with the two saints..."
The invisible fire in his hand burned the fable completely.
This fable is indeed not made of any special material, and it turned into nothingness in a moment.
Even though it has been verified once in the previous life, Li Fan is still a little disappointed now.
"It seems that there are no other hidden secrets."
Although the entity is gone, the text of the fable is still deeply imprinted in Li Fan's mind. After careful reflection, Li Fan tried to deconstruct part of the content of this fable based on his own experience.
"If being born in the sea and standing on the mountain already means being able to transcend the mountains and seas, then in fact, any [immortal] since the two saints Lianshan and Guihai created the fairy world actually meets this condition."
"The essence is that the two paths merge."
"It's just that most of the so-called true immortals only rely on the power of the two saints to achieve the Tao. They have not truly comprehended the way of mountains and seas."
"The ultimate of the two paths is to transcend the mountains and seas."
"In my previous experience, the Great Way of Mountains and Seas, the Great Way of Longevity, and the Change of True and False, should be of the same energy level. Doesn't this mean..."
"Any party, if cultivated to the extreme, will have the power to transcend the mountains and seas. Then my previous action of merging the three paths..."
Li Fan shook his head slightly.
Judging from the content of the fable, the mountains and seas themselves must continue to blend in the fusion.
I'm afraid that even the Infinite Sea and the Mountain on the top cannot bear the consequences of the fusion of the three paths in a short period of time.
"That's why Huanzhen was so badly injured this time. I was too reckless before. After the attempt, I was lucky enough to survive. It was all thanks to Huanzhen's blessing."
"Ignorance is useless."
Looking back at his past behavior from the perspective of the present, Li Fan did feel fortunate and scared.
"What is the purpose of Sun Piaomiao leaving this fable?"
"According to common sense, the content involved in this fable exceeds that of Xuanhuang Realm by far. Even the True Immortal may not be able to recognize the true face of the mountains and seas. Most cultivators will only regard this fable as a simple story when they see it. And they won't think too much."
"Except..."
Li Fan raised his eyebrows: "Except me, there is also the person who will tear off a few pages of this fable in the future."
With a thought, an identical book appeared in Li Fan's hand.
It was placed by Li Fan in the original position in the treasure house.
Although after Li Fan's operation, the historical trend of Xuanhuang Realm has changed greatly. Li Fan was also not sure whether the mysterious man who tore off the fable paper would appear again.
But the necessary backup plan had to be left behind.
Maybe it would bring an unexpected surprise to Li Fan?
After solving the matter of the mountain and sea fable, Li Fan planned to find the Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Venerable next.
In the Taiyuan Realm before, the immortal formation had captured a breath of her.
Even if she deliberately concealed her existence in the Xuanhuang Realm, she could not escape Li Fan's grasp.
The other party's position was locked in the dark, Li Fan smiled slightly and took a step forward.
The next moment, he appeared near the other party out of thin air.
He did not rush to alert the snake, but hid in the dark and observed carefully.
This is a quiet and ordinary hilltop in the Xuanhuang Realm.
Because it is a slightly cold place, what grows all over the mountains and fields are not tall trees, but emerald green short grass. It stretches continuously and reaches the horizon. It is like a grassland in the sky, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, and their minds become open invisibly.
The Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Venerable sat quietly on the top of the mountain.
In front of her, there is an easel.
The Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Venerable is using pen and ink to slowly record the beautiful scenery in front of him.
For the Great Heavenly Venerable who can search and save all the scenes in the entire Xuanhuang Realm in a single thought, such behavior seems meaningless.
But Li Fan can see that the Great Heavenly Venerable seems to enjoy it.
Every stroke is very serious. From time to time, he is still a little dissatisfied, frowning slightly, hiding the ink and repainting.
The breeze blows gently on the mountain, and time passes slowly.
Just when the painting in the hands of the Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Venerable is about to be completed, the surprise and satisfaction between her eyebrows can be seen with the naked eye.
In the painting, countless corpses appeared in the mountains and fields for no reason.
The mountains of corpses and the sea of blood, the anger was soaring to the sky.
A blood moon rose in the sky.
The original fresh and beautiful artistic conception was completely destroyed.
"Who is it!" Xuanhuang Great Tianzun was shocked and angry, turned around suddenly, and looked around.
He just saw Li Fan's half-smiley expression.
From a rational point of view, he could get close to her without her noticing. And he could also arbitrarily alter her paintings.
The strength of Li Fan, who suddenly appeared, is definitely far greater than hers.
If Li Fan were her, she would never attack such a strong man easily.
But the great Tianzun in front of him seemed to have lost his mind because of the destruction of the painting and his anger.
He still chose to attack Li Fan.
The smile on the corner of his mouth gradually took effect, and Li Fan only said one word lightly.
"Fix!"
In a rage, Xuanhuang Great Tianzun, who had attacked brazenly, was already unable to move in an instant!
At this time, she slowly came back to her senses.
The horror on her face was beyond words.
You know, as the Xuanhuang Tianzun, she can call upon the power of the entire Xuanhuang world at will. But now...
In front of this person.
Her connection with the world seems to be cut off.
Or in other words, even if the power of the entire Xuanhuang world is added, she is still suppressed by this person.
The Great Tianzun is not a dull person. He almost instantly thought of the [Xuanhuang Zhenxian] who came to the world inexplicably before.
Only immortals can have such strength.
Compared with the Zhenxian, the Great Tianzun is obviously not of the same level.
Inheriting the duties of the Great Tianzun, she knew very well that the so-called Xuanhuang Great Tianzun was just an immortal servant.
So she instantly put away her arrogance.
Even if the actual age of the Zhenxian in front of her should be much younger than her.
Li Fan just froze her actions and did not restrict her words.
After discovering this, the Great Heavenly Venerable asked, "Why did the senior tease me?"
When the voice floated out, Li Fan had already vaguely understood why Mr. Bai would be obsessed with a mortal.
Even if he later knew that he was being plotted, he still did not change his mind.
It's a pity that this method does not work in front of Li Fan.
"Xuanhuang soldiers, fighting for their lives on the front line. You, as the Great Heavenly Venerable of Xuanhuang, are here poetic and picturesque..." Li Fan snorted coldly.
Using the change of true and false to simulate the power close to the ink killing immortal soul, it surged into the body of the Great Heavenly Venerable.
Originally, the Great Heavenly Venerable looked quite calm, and explained in a clever voice: "The Great Heavenly Venerable's job is only in the Xuanhuang Realm. The matter of attacking Taiyuan from afar is not my business..."
She only said halfway, and her voice couldn't help but change.
The power of the ink killing immortal soul can annihilate everything. The connection between the Great Heavenly Venerable and the Xuanhuang Realm is also difficult to escape.
Even though her body and soul did not feel any pain, she was still sweating profusely.
Although she was unwilling to take on the position of the Great Heavenly Venerable and had already begun to look for the next suitable candidate, active loss and passive deprivation are two different things.
The strong sense of fear that she had not felt for a long time almost overwhelmed her completely. However, she suppressed the fear in her heart and did not directly ask for mercy.
She just held on and told the reasons why she did not go to the Taiyuan front line one by one.
Objectively speaking, it was indeed reasonable.
But Li Fan was just here to cause trouble for her, so these reasons were all useless.
The means of reduction continued.
Seeing this, the Great Heavenly Venerable sighed softly, "I know I have failed in my duty. I will accept any punishment from you. I am just worried that the next Heavenly Venerable of Xuanhuang Realm has not yet been decided. If there is no Heavenly Venerable to sort out Xuanhuang affairs, there may be some chaos in this world."
"Of course, if you have the leisure and elegance to deal with these trivial matters of hundreds of millions of mortals and the ten sects of the immortal way, then I will regard it as my fault."
It seemed that she was really willing to be punished. Until the last moment before her connection with the Xuanhuang world was completely cut off, she did not show any hostility towards Li Fan.
Just endured it silently.
This made Li Fan look at her with a new look.
Leaving the last trace of connection, Li Fan finally stopped.
"How long have you been the Great Heavenly Venerable?" He stared and asked.
"It has been 16,342 years since the death of King Xuantian." The Great Heavenly Venerable answered very quickly.
"According to the rules of the Immortal Realm, each Xuanhuang Tianzun's term of office cannot exceed ten thousand years. In fact, I have already exceeded the term of office. It's just that the Immortal Realm was destroyed, and the normal appointment and dismissal procedures have long been invalidated."
"And I haven't found a suitable successor for a long time..."
The Great Heavenly Lord spoke softly, with some helplessness in his tone.
"Senior, I have learned from you that during my tenure, I have been working diligently to maintain the stability of Xuanhuang Heaven and Earth and fulfill my responsibilities. All the ten sects of the Immortal Dao can testify to this." Soon, she changed her voice and talked about her own contribution.
"But when I look at you, I feel like leaving." Li Fan glanced at her and said lightly.
This was the most secret matter in the Great Heavenly Lord's heart, but Li Fan revealed it with one word. The Great Heavenly Lord was greatly shaken.
However, she reacted quickly and admitted on the spot: "I have worked hard for a long time, but I feel bored. It is only natural for people to want to withdraw after completing my duties."
"Even the first-generation Great Heavenly Lord didn't do it from beginning to end. Although this junior's behavior is a bit unkind, it is within the rules." She defended herself.
"The first generation Great Heavenly Lord?"
When Li Fan heard this, he immediately thought of the You tribe people in Xuanhuang Underground.
Because they had the bloodline of the first Great Heavenly Lord, these You clan members were transformed by King Xuantian into neither humans nor ghosts, and would be kept company by the Sea of Darkness forever as punishment.
Li Fan speculated that it was because of what Great Heavenly Lord had done that deeply offended King Xuantian. That's why we did this.
But Li Fan didn't know what the first generation had done. Hence this question.
The woman explained softly: "The first-generation Great Heavenly Lord foresaw the disaster in the immortal world early, so he took the initiative to transform the immortal into a mortal. In the Xuanhuang Realm, he established the celestial dynasty on earth. He called himself emperor and caused cholera in the world."
"The immortal has faded away from the mortal world, but it is still not something that ordinary immortal cultivators can resist. Therefore, we can only obey his orders obediently."
"Although the first generation is no longer an immortal, they still regard ordinary monks as ants. They call them here and there and treat them like slaves. Although the major immortal cultivating sects complained at that time, they were unable to resist."
"Later, the matter was reported to the Immortal Realm by relying on the communication methods of the major sects directly to the Immortal Realm. The Immortal Realm sent an order, and the first generation restrained it. He only took the initiative to reduce the scope of the Immortal Dynasty on the earth, but his behavior remained the same."
"In the Immortal Dynasty, cultivators are like livestock, allowed to be eaten by others."
"After turning from immortal to mortal, the temperament of the first generation became more and more violent. They often vented their lust. Countless mortals, and even cultivators, could not escape their clutches. However, they did not allow themselves to have descendants of mortal blood. If they found anyone pregnant, they would be killed on the spot. Killed. Only one of them escaped by chance and only took the initiative to reveal his identity after the first generation left."
"Relying on the immortal bloodline, there is great momentum to establish a second immortal dynasty. Fortunately, other sects in the Xuanhuang Realm united and stopped it in time."
…
The Great Heavenly Lord softly recounted the atrocities committed by the first generation.
These are things that have not been recorded in later history, but Li Fan listened to them with great interest.
