Chapter 1547: The Long River is Lost Forever
In a moment, another Xuanhuang Realm was reflected like a mirror.
The first generation even saw his own shadow in it.
Although the shadow lacked the true meaning of immortality, it was still real and true, and it was his "mortal" self.
It was so powerful that even the first generation, who was a true immortal, could not help but be deeply shocked.
…
The last scene of the first generation's immortal body remaining memory was the last moment when he performed the immortal-mortal dichotomy.
He looked at his reflection in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart.
In the end, all turned into relief.
"There is a reason why all the immortal friends have fled. The plan of Emperor Tianluo has reached the craziest moment. I can feel that the day when the Daoyan calamity breaks out on a large scale may be getting closer and closer. If the immortal body still exists, even if I am in the lower world, I am afraid that I will attract Daoyan. Only by shedding the immortal body can I have a glimmer of hope..."
The first generation thought silently. After saying goodbye to his past self, he threw himself into the body of a mortal.
"I really hope that one day I can come back."
This was the last thought of the first generation after he turned from an immortal to a mortal.
...
Li Fan escaped from the memory of the first generation.
Obviously, the first generation did not achieve his long-cherished wish.
Once the sky falls, it is not so easy to save it.
"The most crucial thing is the abandonment of the three saints."
"Because it has nothing to do with the final outcome, even if the three saints have the ability to save it, they will not "waste" their strength on such a trivial matter. The strong who have not jumped out of the original possibility can only choose to save themselves. Or just leave directly."
Li Fan shook his head slightly: "Speaking of which, I don't know what the plan of the Tianluo Emperor is. Completely solve the catastrophe of Dao Yan, and the entire fairy world will transcend again..."
Before, even if Li Fan thought about it, he couldn't think of a possible method.
However, after reading the complete fable of mountains and seas, Li Fan found a possibility.
Born in the sea and standing on the mountains, you can transcend mountains and seas.
If this theory is correct, then as long as you find the [Mountain and Sea Avenue] like Changsheng and Huanzhen, and integrate it with the fairy world.
Then it is possible to make it transcend the mountains and seas as a whole.
Naturally, you don't have to be troubled by the catastrophe of Dao Yan anymore.
But this is just a theory.
Beyond the mountains and seas, there seems to be another great terror. The ending of the first creature from the sea to the mountains in the fable, after the mountains and seas merged and looked beyond the mountains and seas, proved that there was a great danger in it.
"Even if it can be done, I'm afraid the end will not be much better than being swallowed by the Dao Annihilation Tribulation."
Li Fan was still a little curious about the final outcome of Emperor Tianluo and the Immortal Realm. It's a pity that at this point in time, everything has been doomed and cannot be checked.
"Perhaps if we follow the long river of time and go upstream, we can find more clues. But it doesn't make much sense."
Li Fan restrained his thoughts and stared at the first generation of immortal body in front of him, stimulating his spiritual wisdom.
The first generation opened his eyes, and after a moment of confusion, he quickly figured out the current situation. He bowed to Li Fan.
And Li Fan used the body of the first generation to observe the situation of the Dao Annihilation Tribulation outside the Xuanhuang Realm.
"Well, it is much more stable than ten thousand years later."
"The situation that the first generation was worried about before becoming a mortal did not happen. It should be because the bones of the previous hungry immortal buried under the fairy ruins are silently supporting it."
After checking for a while, Li Fan retracted his gaze.
He has no intention of provoking the hungry immortal for the time being.
In the past, he acted recklessly and destroyed the world with his hands if he disagreed with him. Anyway, he had Huanzhen to support him. But not now.
With this immortal body, if it is supplemented by the immortal formation, it should not be a problem to capture the hungry immortal.
But Li Fan cannot guarantee that he can still protect the safety of Xuanhuang Realm while the two sides are fighting.
If Xuanhuang is injured, all the anchor points he has worked hard to lay during this period of time will be destroyed. At that time, let alone capturing the hungry immortal, I am afraid he will not be able to protect himself.
"It's still a bit too dangerous to stay near the Immortal Ruins."
"Next, we have to think of a way to safely transfer the Xuanhuang Realm first."
Li Fan had experience in this area before, and after a little thought, the plan in his mind had taken shape.
"In this era, the Ten Sects still have a certain degree of dominance. There are some trivial matters involved, which can be left to them."
"But before that..."
Li Fan's mind moved, and he instantly gained control of the first generation of immortal bodies.
His figure flashed and left the root space of heaven and earth. He came to the hill where the fishing pond was located.
Standing in the air, staring at the ground below.
"There is still the vitality of Ruomu."
"Does it mean that there is still a Tai Tiandi here?"
Li Fan's eyes condensed slightly, and he was fully alert, and slowly walked into the underground village.
It was almost the same as what he saw ten thousand years later.
It seemed that time was frozen in this small village.
But when Li Fan came to the painting where Tai Tiandi was hiding according to his memory, his steps could not help but stop.
The painting is still the same painting.
The young Xuan Tian Wang, his childhood sweetheart, and many children in the mountain village are all in the painting.
But the only thing missing is an old man lying down to rest!
"Disappeared." For a moment, Li Fan felt a little disappointed.
And a little relieved.
The place where Tai Tiandi was lying was empty.
Even the boat going against the current disappeared.
But the vitality absorbed by the secret method of Xuan Tian Wang is still tirelessly infusing and nourishing this scroll.
Without Emperor Tai Tian, all the vitality is absorbed by it alone.
Therefore, this painting has undergone quite mysterious changes. Li Fan seemed to hear the voice of Xuanyuan Hong playing with his childhood sweetheart in the past.
Even the two children in the painting seemed to have noticed Li Fan approaching outside the painting.
Slowly glanced at Li Fan.
Seeing such a strange scene, Li Fan couldn't help but think of the fate of Xuanyuan Hong's descendants.
After pondering for a moment, Li Fan temporarily put away the scroll.
After isolating himself from the prying eyes of the people in the painting, he first thought about the disappearance of Emperor Tai Tian.
"It seems that after mastering the way of retrograde and going upstream in the long river of time, no matter where you fall in the river, the existence of other time nodes will disappear together."
It seems a little difficult to understand.
However, Li Fan thought about his experiences while traveling through the long river of time, and slowly understood.
"Originally, I was just a drop of water in the long river, and could only go with the flow."
"But when I had the ability to go backwards, I went upstream along the long river, and formed a line in the long river."
"This line is my complete body now. In a sense, I have now become a life form similar to the long river of time."
"However, now my main consciousness is trapped in this period of time and space in the long river, and I can't see what happened to other parts of my body. It's like my five senses are blocked."
"This is also because I have just started the way of going backwards. If this way is perfected, I will be able to jump on the river, and all my experiences in the long river will be clear in my mind..."
As Li Fan stood in a daze at the place where Emperor Tai Tian disappeared, many insights emerged in his mind.
The retrograde boat in his body, which had been broken, began to recover slowly.
Even though the speed of repair was very slow, it was a qualitative change compared to the previous state of no self-repair.
"Generally speaking, after mastering the way of retrograde, ordinary methods cannot kill him."
"It is only a drop of water in the long river that dies. As long as the long river remains, and the water drops form a line, they will be immortal."
"Unless the long river itself washes away the self-consciousness. There is also the catastrophe of Dao Annihilation, which swallows up the entire space and time. Or like Emperor Tai Tian, he voluntarily gives up his life."
It was not until this moment that Li Fan knew what kind of sacrifice Emperor Tai Tian had made to help him realize the Tao.
Indeed, Emperor Tai Tian's body and soul have decayed due to excessive retrograde. Only a trace of residual image is left to survive.
But this does not mean that he has no chance of complete recovery.
There is no need for the Shanhai Avenue like Shouqiu Gong to help. It only needs the long river of time that was swallowed and blocked by the catastrophe of Dao Annihilation to be restored.
The "water flow" from the upstream irrigates again, and then Emperor Tai Tian can immediately recover to the peak state of the previous period.
Although this seems to be more difficult to achieve than the rescue of Shanhai Avenue. In fact, it is not.
Because it is not the connection of the entire river of time that can save him, but only the connection with the previous time and space.
Since Shouqiu Gong can cross the Eternal Silence Realm, then carrying the afterimage of Emperor Tai Tian to the previous time and space can easily save him.
Anyway, Xiang Gu's spark transmission rescue plan has been going on, it's just a matter of convenience.
Even if no one is willing to help do this. Emperor Tai Tian doesn't have to do anything. He just needs to live patiently and wait.
Until the day when the river of time is connected again.
If you look at it from a longer-term perspective, there are only two endings for the entire mountain and sea world.
Either it is completely integrated into the mountain and sea and swallowed up by the catastrophe of Dao Yan.
Or the sparks of the creatures in the mountain and sea save themselves successfully.
If it is the former, the fate of all creatures is the same anyway. If they die, they die. If it is the latter, Emperor Tai Tian will naturally be resurrected.
"Emperor Tai Tian must have understood this truth. But he gave up this opportunity."
Li Fan narrowed his eyes, recalling the words of enlightenment that Emperor Tai Tian said before he disappeared.
"It is meaningless to live here. I will teach you the way of retrograde that I have realized today!"
"If one day you can go to the Eternal Silence Realm to help me, my sacrifice today will be worthwhile!"
Emperor Tai Tian's resolute expression seemed to be vivid in his mind.
Li Fan shook his head repeatedly: "Although he saved my life, it is still hard to understand."
"Give up the only but very stable life..."
"If in the future, when the long river is connected again. Maybe there will be new Tai Tiandi in other time and space. But the one who has been going back to save the world in this time and space will never come back again."
"This one has the grace of preaching and saving my life. As for the others, that Tai Tiandi is not this Tai Tiandi."
"Perhaps, the only way to restore it between the mountains and seas is to [return to the truth]." Li Fan's heart suddenly moved.
But his understanding of the change of truth and falsehood is now difficult to fully restore his peak cultivation.
Not to mention creating something out of nothing and creating a completely annihilated immortal emperor.
Li Fan had no choice but to give up this idea temporarily.
After solemnly sealing the underground village with the immortal formation, Li Fan instinctively looked towards the fishing pond not far away after leaving the underground.
At this time, there was no Taoist temple built outside the fishing pond.
It was just a lonely pool of water, lying peacefully in the mountains. I'm afraid no one would have thought that such a seemingly ordinary pool of water would involve the existence of the nameless realm.
"It might even exceed the nameless realm."
"After all, Emperor Tai Tian called it by the name of [Mountain and Sea Fishery]. "
Even though he was controlling his immortal body at this moment, Li Fan did not approach. He just watched from afar.
"Since there is a mountain and sea fishery, the possibility of connecting the fishing pond is not a single possibility. Instead, it was built to connect the entire Shangfang Mountain..."
"It's really a good move. The fishing immortal behind this is at least a strong man who transcends the realm. I just don't know if he can do it like Shouqiu Gong and cross the Eternal Silence Realm."
However, Li Fan suddenly thought that in addition to the stone slab trying to comprehend the way of fishing and then being suddenly sucked away. It seems that King Xuantian also disappeared in this fishing pond.
"Those who can enjoy such 'elegant and leisurely' fishing should still be in this time and space. They have not yet reached the level of being able to cross the eternal silence. But even so, I am not someone I can provoke now."
A trace of fear flashed in Li Fan's eyes.
Even if he was blessed by Zhenzhen, Li Fan could not avoid the fishing pond and the existence behind it. Not to mention that there was only a piece of reverse wooden board for self-defense now.
"No hurry. Sooner or later, I will have to face this [Fishing Immortal]."
Li Fan suppressed many emotions in his heart and returned to the root space of heaven and earth.
Give the scroll to the master.
The master slowly unfolded the scroll, and almost instantly, he met the eyes of the young Xuan Tian Wang in the painting.
It seemed that the other party had long expected that there was someone outside the painting.
Li Fan was not surprised. Without the Tai Tian Emperor inside, he would not be scared by a mere painting.
Ignoring the prying eyes of the young Xuanyuan Hong, Li Fan listened carefully to the rustling sound coming from his ears.
"Sure enough, it's exactly the same as the cursed devil sound I heard from the Xuanyuan clan's bloodline. It's just clearer."
"Is it that King Xuantian wants to convey something through this method?"
If the seal characters of the True Immortals are inscribed with words.
Then this devil sound depicts the path of Tao with rhythm.
In the original possibility, Li Fan has only seen the one who depicts the Tao with sound in the Great Master.
Other True Immortals mostly follow the immortal path of inscription.
"It seems that perhaps this mysterious sound is not from the original. But from another possibility, where King Xuantian disappeared."
"Great Master, the teacher is the Three Saints. The Three Saints exist in many possibilities, which is understandable."
Li Fan tried to analyze the rhythm of music transmitted by King Xuantian.
When the three paths merged, he once merged with the mountains and seas.
Now it is much easier to comprehend the great way between mountains and seas than before.
Besides, his comprehension was not weak in the past.
After a while, he got a general result.
