My Longevity Simulation - Chapter 1621

Chapter 1599: The True Appearance of Mountains and Seas

The Tai Chi stick was dying, and the black and white faces on both ends became as thin as paper. The patterns on the stick almost disappeared, leaving only a few remnants.

After surviving the disaster, it became completely obedient.

Facing the feeding from Li Fan’s dark shadow, he was impatient and even showed a flattering face.

It didn’t recover until it had a good meal, but it didn’t stay calm for long.

After just three days, the Tai Chi stick’s old behavior relapsed.

Having realized how powerful Li Fan was, it did not choose to attack him again this time. Instead, it jumped out of the boat and fled towards the source of the “smell” it had sensed in Daoyan before.

It had no idea that the Xuanhuang Immortal Boat was following closely behind it.

“Although this beast has intelligence, its wisdom is really not that high.” The eldest of the Twelve True Immortals, the dwarf old man named Ruan Ruiyu, could not help but teasingly said upon seeing this.

“What the senior said makes sense. A beast is a beast.” The others all agreed in unison.

Tai Chi Stick’s memory is really bad.

Every time it was tortured to the point of dying in Daoyan, it would instinctively escape into it as soon as it had a chance. It seemed that there was something more terrifying than Daoyan on the Xuanhuang Immortal Boat.

After the initial teasing, the twelve immortals finally realized something. Even though the Tai Chi wooden stick was not very intelligent, it had the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm as a living being. If it escaped once or twice, it could be said that it was blinded by greed. But if it continued like this…

Everyone looked at the bow of the independent ship, and saw Li Fan with an unfathomable expression on his face. A chill surged in their hearts again.

The question that was about to come to my lips was forcibly suppressed.

In their hearts, the twelve True Immortals all regretted getting on this “pirate ship”. They said they were heading to the other side of the world, but judging from the current situation, the other party did not seem to want to take them there so easily.

But apart from staying on the boat and going all the way, they had no other choice. Entering Daoyan without permission would lead to death. Resisting Li Fan might lead to death even faster. Even though the twelve brothers felt extremely bitter, they could only endure it silently.

The Twelve True Immortals didn’t know that they had misunderstood Li Fan in this regard.

It’s not that I don’t want to take them to the other side of the world.

But Li Fan also didn’t know where the so-called other shore was and how to get there.

“In theory, there should be many lighthouse-like beacons in this vast sea and mountains, guiding the specific direction of the other side. New transcendents only need to persist in finding the nearest lighthouse. Then continue to sail towards the next lighthouse, and they will reach the other side in a long time.”

“But for some reason, I have been wandering in the Dao for so long, but I still can’t see any trace of the lighthouse.”

“There are two possibilities. I haven’t concentrated my true meaning of transcendence. Even if the lighthouse is right in front of me, I can’t see it. This possibility is not very high. After all, the solitary sail above my head is not fake.”

“In addition, crossing the mountains and seas takes so much time. Just like what I saw in Gu Fan’s memory. Without direction guidance, the time required to cross the sea can exhaust the lifespan of a transcendent strongman. And if there is a clear direction guidance…”

“Even if the time required is reduced a hundredfold, it will still be an unimaginably long time.”

Li Fan was mentally prepared for this.

He didn’t expect to reach the other side anytime soon.

“When Zi Yi descended, he mentioned many times that he was ‘unwilling to help run errands’ and ‘not making this trip in vain’. This shows that even in the eyes of an old-fashioned transcendental expert like him, the possibility of descending from the other side is not a matter that can be ignored.”

“But before, when the original possibility repeatedly involved those transcendental strongmen, they seemed to sense and descend instantly…”

Riding the wind and waves in Daoyan, Li Fan had a vague premonition in his heart.

In this vast sea of mountains and mountains, it seems that there is no such thing as the passage of time.

Or rather, the passage of time only affects them.

No matter how long they stay here, it will not affect all possibilities in this world.

It seems a little unbelievable, but having once gone against the flow of time, Li Fan can barely understand the reason.

“Leaving the mortal world and entering the mountains and seas is like jumping out of the long river of time in an instant. At the moment of jumping out, the long river of time seems to be trapped in relative ice. It will not flow again until you enter again.”

“If we regard the mountains and seas themselves as a tree growing luxuriantly from the bottom up, then the many possibilities in the world are the annual rings on the tree.”

“Down, represents the past. Up, indicates the future.”

“The tree rings that represent possibilities are not just two-dimensional. They are three-dimensional, running through the tree in time.”

“Originally, if Daoyan did not exist, the past and future of the mountains and seas would be connected and complete. Those who could swim upstream could freely and smoothly travel between different positions under the trees.”

“But because of Dao Yan’s appearance, the Mountain and Sea Tree was cut in half.”

“Even if I could go back in time, my range of movement would be limited to the section of the tree trunk I’m currently on.”

“Moreover, the tissues between the growth rings that originally belonged to the tree trunk have been mostly swallowed up by Dao Yan. Ordinary creatures can only survive within the lines of the growth rings.”

“I go upstream in the long river of time, which means I travel vertically through the trees of mountains and seas along the traces of the annual rings from top to bottom. And to cross and transcend is to leave the line of annual rings and walk in the cross section of the trees of mountains and seas, resisting the annihilation of the Tao.”

“Whether horizontally or vertically, it is confined to the trunk of a tree.”

“And the other side of the world…”

After personally crossing the mountains and seas, Li Fan gained a concrete and vivid understanding of the structure of the mountains and seas.

But so far, it is still impossible to imagine what the other side is like.

“But what is certain is that the other shore is completely independent compared to the many possibilities in the mountains and seas.”

“If we force an analogy, perhaps we can think of it as hollowing out a certain part of the tree trunk from top to bottom to create a place.”

“Even if you don’t go through the long river of time or cross the Dao, you can still successfully reach all possible time nodes…”

“If you really have this ability, you will be worthy of the name of the other shore.”

Li Fan imagined the situation on the other side, his thoughts surging.

The Tai Chi stick that was escaping frantically in Daoyan, after dozens of attempts, finally brought the Xuanhuang Immortal Boat to a place where vitality gathered!
It was not a complete possibility.

It was a fairy coffin floating on the Daoyan!
I don’t know how long it has been drifting, the surface of the fairy coffin has turned pitch black.

Even though there was still some distance between them, Li Fan and the twelve True Immortals on the wooden boat could vaguely sense the ominous aura attached to it.

The Tai Chi sticks were not restricted to meat or vegetables. They did not care what was buried in the immortal coffin. One black and one white, they turned into Tai Chi. They directly covered the drifting immortal coffin, as if biting it hard.

The black and white Tai Chi diagram spun rapidly, causing the light and shadow of the immortal coffin to become distorted and blurred. It slowly fell into the vortex created by the Tai Chi diagram.

Although the protection of the immortal coffin is still intact, there are signs that it has been swallowed by the Tai Chi diagram.

Just when the Tai Chi wooden stick was about to swallow the immortal coffin, Li Fan pulled the line and forcibly dragged it back from the Daoyan.

After returning to the Xuanhuang Immortal Boat, it still held on to the Immortal Coffin tightly.

Li Fan flicked his fingers several times, shaking the Tai Chi stick so much that the patterns on it collapsed. It was then forced to let go.

Hiding in a dark corner, he stared fiercely at Li Fan who was snatching food from the tiger’s mouth.

Li Fan didn’t care at all and quietly placed the immortal coffin in front of him.

On the wooden boat, the twelve True Immortals looked solemn. They had already moved closer to each other without realizing it.

“Senior, there seems to be something ominous in this coffin.” Ruan Ruiyu reminded.

“Ominous…” Li Fan chuckled, as if he didn’t care at all.

Unseal the coffin.

In an instant, infinite light burst out from the coffin.

The black air was accompanied by blood, and it was eerie and terrifying.

A figure dressed in the clothes of the Yellow Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, with an indescribable noble bearing, suddenly appeared in front of Li Fan and others.

After a moment of silence, the figure asked coldly, “Since you have come to see me, why don’t you bow?”

“Immortal…Immortal Emperor?” Ruan Ruiyu was stunned when he saw this figure, and couldn’t help but exclaimed.

Just as everyone was shocked, this luxurious figure suddenly took the opportunity to attack everyone.

The clothes on his body gradually became tattered.

The human head turned into a rat’s head!
The twelve true immortals were frightened and were about to become food for the rat.

“It’s you, after all.”

As expected by Li Fan, a transparent furnace rose up, like a towering wall surrounding the Rat Immortal, sealing it inside.

The Twelve True Immortals were still in shock, looking at the monster in the furnace with fear, which gradually lost its human form and turned into a giant rat.

Li Fan looked at the old acquaintance in front of him, watching him struggling frantically in the furnace but unable to break through the blockade.

“It seems that I haven’t strayed too far from the Origin.”

“It is still within the range that Guangwu Star Sea can salvage in Daoyan. To be more specific, it is still in the offshore area.”

The Rat Emperor before him was no different from the one he saw in his previous life.

Swallowing an entire possibility, the power of the Rat Emperor is beyond doubt. However, in front of Li Fan now, he has no power to fight back.

In the furnace, it is slowly refined.

Transformed into nutrients to strengthen the Xuanhuang Immortal Boat.

Li Fan had a blank expression on his face as he watched the giant rat in the furnace fall apart and turn into countless lights and shadows.

But he was thinking about something else: “I got the Tai Tian Emperor and was able to go against the flow of time. However, when I went back ten thousand years, the Tai Tian Emperor at the past time node also disappeared. This proves that those who have realized the [reverse] principle have become special beings that depend on the long river of time. They run through the upper and lower parts of the mountain and sea tree.”

“The transcendental strong in the other side may also have this ability. But it should be with the help of the special nature of the other side. If you only rely on your own path, you probably can’t do this.”

“However, no matter if they are those who go against reason or those who are beyond reason, they should all be unique in the broken trunk of the Mountain and Sea Tree. No matter at which time point they die, they are completely dead. Even if time is reversed, it cannot change this.”

“And it’s true…”

Li Fan frowned slightly.

“As a power of the same level as the Mountain and Sea, it can directly reset and restore the state of the Mountain and Sea Tree.”

“As long as it does not exceed the scope of mountains and seas, it will be affected by them.”

“However, I am still unsure whether the affected area is just the part of the mountain and sea tree where I am, or the entire mountain and sea…”

“There is a way to prove it.”

“Mr. Shouqiu!”

“In the previous life, Lord Shouqiu was not in the mountains and seas, but in the eternal and silent world outside the tree trunks of the mountains and seas. If it really didn’t affect him, then he must have some memories of me and Chengdao in the previous life.” Thinking of this, Li Fan couldn’t help but feel a tightness in his heart.

“It seems that even if I really wake up after going to the other side of the world, I can’t use it easily. At least, before I figure this out, I should try not to expose myself to the eyes of those saints.”

Li Fan didn’t dare to do that, so he asked Shouqiu Gong directly for clarification.

Even Ziyi and Chengdao, the two people who can contact Shouqiu Gong, may become the fuse for Huanzhen’s exposure.

Cheng Dao was fine, as he was trapped in the Xuan Huang Immortal Boat by Li Fan who was “talking about Taoism”.

Purple clothes are no longer something Li Fan can control.

“We can only hope that the scope of influence can be wider.”

“Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll have to flee before I even reach the other side.” Li Fan tried his best to calm the sense of urgency in his heart.

Li Fan is not a person who worries about nothing.

It’s just that after some deductions, we know that it really exists and has the possibility of being exposed. Naturally, we have to take some precautions for the future.

“If you stop eating because of choking, you will never reach the other shore.”

“It is also not okay to be blindly optimistic and not make any preparations.”

However, after taking stock of all the forces he could use, Li Fan had not yet found a way to escape unscathed from Lord Shouqiu.

“Among the saints, the only thing they care about is the continued existence of the mountains and seas.”

“The only thing that can make them feel a little bit afraid is the secret technique of [True Spirit Incineration] that I just learned.”

“This method…”

Li Fan’s eyes gleamed, and he had already made a decision: “We need to make good use of it.”

“Although the True Spirit Burning Technique has the effect of burning mountains and boiling seas, its disadvantage is that the True Spirit Fire spreads too slowly.”

“unless……”

“I have been prepared. I will spread the fire at different possibilities and time points between the mountains and the sea!”

“A single spark can start a prairie fire. My infinite spirituality is enough for me to spread the seeds of fire all over the mountains and seas.”

“When the time comes, I will think and the mountains and seas will burn.”

“Although there is a high probability that it will be put out by the transcendent masters on the other side before it burns the mountains and seas. And the spiritual energy I ignite and consume will also be transformed into nutrients for the mountains and seas. However, the mountains and seas that have experienced severe damage may not be able to survive the erosion of Dao Yan.”

“Those who are beyond the other shore… don’t dare to gamble!”

“This deterrent measure should be effective.”

Li Fan thought about it again and again, and his uneasiness gradually disappeared.

“It seems that we need to make adequate preparations before heading to the other side.”

“Just right, move forward slowly. Whenever we reach a possible place, we will set up our secret moves.”

“Other transcendental masters are all united as one. But I want to go from one to ten thousand!”

“hehe……”
