My Longevity Simulation - Chapter 1620
Chapter 1598: Living Beings Evolving Tai Chi
Compared to using the magical power of [Destruction of True Spirit], the compassionate act of lighting a candle to dispel the coldness in the Xuanhuang Immortal Boat, the consumption of one’s own spiritual power is almost negligible.
For Li Fan, it was not a burden at all. However, it could save the helmsman and crew on the immortal boat. So he just did it.
“This extreme cold…”
“What exactly caused this?”
The warmth generated by the burning of the True Spirit Fire only protected the sentient beings in the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm. However, Li Fan, as the master of Xuanhuang, took the initiative to remove this kind of protection.
Face the cold loneliness between mountains and sea.
The Xuanhuang Immortal Boat sailed through the waves in the darkness, silently.
The outside world seemed to have lost the meaning of the passage of time.
Li Fan stood on the fairy boat with a lone sail, as if the darkness was in front of him.
While crossing the mountains and seas, I didn’t notice the passing of time.
In the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm, seventy years had passed in the blink of an eye.
Since the moment the Immortal Boat entered Daoyan, the “variables” of the entire Xuanhuang Immortal Realm seemed to be locked.
During these seventy years, no more cultivators at the Hedao realm were born.
This was not a restriction that Li Fan deliberately made in order to save the resources of the Immortal Boat, but was caused by the changes in the Immortal Boat itself.
After being immersed in an environment far away from the world for a long time, Li Fan gradually realized the root cause of the chill around him that was like a thorn in his side.
“Most creatures in the mountains and seas were born in the mortal world. When we leave this mortal world, we are also away from the most basic environment that we rely on in our creation, nurturing, and cultivation. It’s like a fish out of water, a bird trapped on the ground, and underground creatures suddenly exposed to the sun.”
“Because of the inability to adapt, it leads to destruction. The true meaning of transcendence condensed by the transcendent strong, in a sense, is the ability to adapt to such drastic changes safely.”
“Although I have infinite spirituality, when I am away from the world, I still feel this kind of hesitation and discomfort…”
“Infinite spirituality may be related to time travel and my original self. And this body of mine is indeed a native creature between the mountains and seas.” Li Fan thought silently.
Almost all the living beings in the Xuanhuang Immortal Boat, including the twelve True Immortals who boarded the boat last, could not escape this feeling of coldness and loneliness.
There is only one exception.
It was the unknown primordial creature that was sleeping in the Zhuyu star field in the past and was later raised by the Twelve True Immortals.
The energy consumption of the primordial creatures is truly incredible.
He has never stopped feeding it for the past fifty years.
More than a hundred pieces of the dark yellow wood carvings have been crushed.
However, there is still one step before this primordial creature can be truly conceived.
Fortunately, Li Fan had recently felt that it had begun to reject Li Fan’s feeding. It was not that it had become an ungrateful wolf before it was born. It was that this primordial creature had reached the limit of what it could absorb in the gestation state and could not eat anymore!
Li Fan invited the twelve true immortals to come and witness the gestation of the primordial creature in this light ball. After all, they had worked hard to help raise it for tens of thousands of years.
It is worth mentioning that even though they have spent more than fifty years together in the mountains and seas, these twelve true immortals have never seen the true appearance of the Xuanhuang Immortal Boat. From beginning to end, they were forced to squeeze into the narrow wooden boat that Li Fan had evolved.
Relying on the lone sail raised on the wooden boat, they protected themselves from the constant erosion of the surrounding Dao. They had no idea that on the small wooden boat they were in, there was another immortal boat that was many times larger than them!
Most of their minds were used to fight against the loneliness that kept rising in their bodies. When they had some energy left, they seized every opportunity to try to comprehend the way to “cross”.
In addition, there is a huge gap in strength between them and Li Fan, so it is difficult for them to see the truth about the Xuanhuang Immortal Boat.
At this moment, seeing Li Fan suddenly appear with the Primordial Creature in his hand, they were all slightly stunned.
Only then did he react and looked at the ball of light that was about to be born with a very complicated expression.
“It is truly a great honor to be able to witness the birth of a primordial being with my own eyes today.”
“It’s worth our hard work in the past.”
“I just don’t know if this primordial creature still remembers us.”
“Senior not only saved me from danger, but also helped us fulfill our long-cherished wish. You truly have a compassionate heart, which is admirable.” The Twelve True Immortals behaved very naturally, and there was no sign of any complaints in their hearts.
Li Fan glanced at them indifferently, causing everyone to feel a little nervous.
The dead silence lasted for a long time. Li Fan continued, “This beast should be coming out soon, so just wait patiently.”
The twelve True Immortals were all very critical of Li Fan for calling the Primordial Creatures “beasts”. However, they did not dare to express anything and could only nod and say yes with a smile.
This wait lasted another nine years.
For a true immortal, it is nothing more than a time spent closing his eyes to gain enlightenment and passing by in a careless manner.
On this day, the slight fluctuations coming from the light ball in Li Fan’s hand woke up everyone on the wooden boat.
A black crack appeared in the center of the light ball. Just like a shell breaking, infinite light and shadows burst out from the crack.
There was a roaring of mountains and seas, and countless possibilities were born from the image of destruction!
It was as if they were facing the mountains and the sea, and everyone on the boat couldn’t help but be immersed in the scene.
But he didn’t realize that a black line was hidden in the light and shadows, shooting towards the weakest of the twelve true immortals.
It was not until the black line was within reach that Shi Qiwen, a true immortal who practiced the way of “Nourishment”, realized the sudden attack.
However, before he could even show any change in his expression, the next moment, he was about to be pierced through the body by the black line.
“A beast is a beast after all!”
At this moment, Li Fan’s cold voice suddenly sounded.
A hand arrived first and pinched the black line tightly.
Roar!
A roaring sound like the collision of mountains and seas came from the black line.
The twelve True Immortals suddenly heard bursts of thunder in their ears, and they felt dizzy. Shi Qiwen, who was closest to them, felt as if he had been hit hard. The path he had learned was faintly dissipated in this roar.
Fortunately, the twelve true immortals shared life. With the help of the other eleven people, Shi Qiwen was lucky enough to survive.
This shows how terrifying the creatures in the beginning of time were.
But the beast was unable to move in Li Fan’s hands.
He could only keep roaring threateningly.
The Twelve True Immortals thus saw the true appearance of the black line: it was like a rounded wooden stick, with countless complex but non-repetitive patterns faintly emerging on it. There was a face at each end of the stick.
It doesn’t look like a human face. It’s just black and white, with a constantly changing expression, revealing the essence of a “face”.
This primordial creature is more like a refined magic weapon than a living being.
Although it was just a newborn, its nature was still fierce. Now it fell into Li Fan’s hands, unable to move forward or backward, and it did not give up struggling for a moment.
Accompanied by waves of roaring like a tsunami, the patterns on his body quickly moved away and separated as if alive, gathering at both ends of the wooden stick.
The primordial creature was instantly split into two, one was completely black and the other was completely white.
The two are like two snakes, holding each other’s heads and tails, spinning rapidly and continuously.
In an instant, a Tai Chi pattern was formed and surged in Li Fan’s palm.
An inexplicable force was born, as if someone had pushed Li Fan hard, and the shackles that had been tightly grasping the primordial creatures were loosened.
The color of the rotating Tai Chi diagram suddenly darkened, as if it was escaping to another place.
Outside the fantasy fairy boat, Daoyan, which was originally relatively calm, suddenly had gusts of wind and waves.
It was as if something suddenly leaped into the sea.
“Oh no! That beast is trying to escape!” The Twelve True Immortals exclaimed upon seeing this.
Li Fan just sneered.
He gently hooked his finger in the direction where the Tai Chi diagram was escaping.
The noise in the road suddenly became louder.
One after another, surging waves continuously hit the Xuanhuang Immortal Boat. Everyone on the boat encountered the biggest shock they had ever experienced since crossing the mountains and seas.
It was as if two ancient beasts were fighting fiercely underwater!
This kind of change was far beyond the expectations of the Twelve True Immortals.
They stared at the void outside the boat, occasionally glancing at Li Fan who was calm and composed. They didn’t know what kind of magical power this senior had used to capture the enemy in the midst of the Dao. It was simply unheard of.
The fierce battle in Daoyan did not last long.
No matter how fierce it was, it was still in its infancy. Soon, the noise in Daoyan slowly subsided, and the Tai Chi diagram quietly returned to the wooden boat.
After stopping and turning, it could not be sustained and turned back into a wooden stick.
The patterns on the stick seemed to be much sparser than before, and the black and white expressions on both ends seemed to have become listless.
“This thing was born at the beginning of the creation of the world, and it was born and evolved in imitation of the Great Dao…”
“But in the end, it does not have spiritual intelligence. If you do not know the root, you can only get the form, but not the spirit.”
“So after so many years, it still looks like this.”
Li Fan tapped the stick with his fingers and commented calmly.
Upon hearing this, the Twelve True Immortals nodded in understanding.
The one who snatched the Tai Chi stick back from Dao Yan was naturally Mo Sha.
After fifty years of thinking and adapting, Mo Sha finally recognized his own identity.
Completely cut off and separated from the Daoyan that is everywhere around.
He only exists as “Mo Sha”, the soul of heaven and earth in Xuanhuang Immortal Realm, and a lackey of Li Fan!
Unlike all other creatures and powers in the mortal world of Shanhai, Mo Sha’s entry into Daoyan really feels like “like a fish in water, at ease”.
Dao Yan’s corrosive power has almost no effect on Mo Sha.
Even when there are other beings around, Mo Sha can even use Dao Yan’s power to fight the enemy first.
The capture of the Tai Chi stick just now was His first test of His skills.
If I don’t rely on Dao Yan and just fight the Tai Chi stick by myself, I’m afraid I’ll be in a tough fight.
But with the help of the surrounding situation and “Dao Yan”, it only took a moment to capture him.
The reason why Li Fan was able to see through the details of the Taichu creatures so quickly was also due to Mo Sha’s credit.
If Taoism is a boundless ocean, then almost all creatures between the mountains and the sea cannot swim. Some of the transcendent ones have the ability to swim.
And Mo Sha…
They are fish that live naturally in this ocean!
“Even if the immortal boat capsizes, I can be safe with Mo Sha saving me.”
He did not reveal Mo Sha’s existence to the Twelve True Immortals. After he completed his mission, Li Fan ordered him to return to the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm.
Sensing the departure of Mo Sha’s aura, the Tai Chi wooden stick, which was originally seriously injured and seemed to be dying, suddenly became full of energy again.
However, Li Fan simply tapped his fingers several times in succession, instantly suppressing its accumulated strength.
After repeating this process, the Tai Chi Stick finally realized the difference in strength between them and temporarily became obedient.
“There are such wonderful creatures between the mountains and the sea.”
“Some of the primordial creatures are older than the immortal world. They often symbolize the ancient paths between the mountains and the sea. It is said that a true immortal once subdued a primordial creature and gained enlightenment from it. The moment he attained the nameless truth was the moment he reached transcendence.”
“I think the Tai Chi that this beast has derived is also quite good…”
The twelve true immortals who witnessed the whole process of Li Fan subduing the Tai Chi wooden stick sighed.
“But senior already has enough magical powers. This wooden stick is not of much help to you.” As soon as Shi Qiwen said this, everyone on the boat fell silent.
Shi Qiwen also realized the inappropriateness of his words and was about to apologize with a wry smile.
But Li Fan said calmly: “Indeed, this thing is almost useless for the Tao.”
“But it is quite useful for this journey.”
The Twelve True Immortals were confused when they heard this.
But Li Fan actually threw the Tai Chi stick, which had barely recovered some strength, into Daoyan again.
The Tai Chi stick seemed a little bit unbelievable and stood there for a moment.
Then he woke up as if from a dream and fled madly towards the depths of Daoyan.
“Senior, this…”
The Twelve True Immortals were about to ask questions.
But suddenly I realized that the speed of the small wooden boat seemed to have become faster for some reason.
When looking more closely, it was discovered that the Tai Chi wooden stick that escaped into the boat seemed to have many tiny black lines on it, connecting to the boat body!
Because of the connection of these black lines, the Tai Chi wooden stick is like pulling a wooden boat to sail quickly in the water.
“Can it be so?” The twelve True Immortals were all stunned.
“Although the life force of the primordial creatures is strong, they cannot survive for long in the Dao Annihilation.”
“So when they are trapped in the Dao, they will instinctively look for ‘food’ supplements if they want to survive longer.”
“The primordial creatures are originally peculiar beings between the mountains and the sea. Their ability to perceive possibilities and vitality is far greater than that of cultivators like us. We are in this vast Dao, and it is difficult to tell the direction. They may be able to sense the existence of food in the distance.”
Li Fan stood at the bow, feeling the Xuan Huang Immortal Boat slowly change direction under the traction of the Tai Chi wooden stick. He had an inexplicable expression on his face.
Recalling Li Fan’s action of burning the original possibility with the fire of the true spirit without any explanation, the twelve true immortals could not help but feel a chill in their hearts.
I promised to take them to the other side of the world, but now it seems…
Intimidated by Li Fan’s power, the twelve True Immortals did not dare to show any opposition. They just praised the senior’s unpredictable magical powers.
The Tai Chi wooden stick fled in panic, pulling the immortal boat forward for forty days.
When it was about to run out of energy and disappear in the sea, Li Fan rescued it in time.
