Chapter 1282: Immortal’s Folding Formation
Chapter 1269 – Immortal’s Folding Formation
After some sharpening in the Ash Small World, Sun Luyao, who had narrowly survived his death under the Returning Character Technique, had indeed improved a lot compared to before.
The ghostly light quietly blossomed, penetrating through the Xuan Huang Realm’s surface land and up to the inner core.
After some searching, he indeed found the remnants of a suspected boundary protection formation.
Only compared to the Ash Small World, the lines of these formations in the Xuan Huang Realm were even more ancient and deeper.
Li Fan mobilized the Infinite Mirror while continuing to investigate. While doing so, he brought these probed formation data into the formation model that the Terminal Dissociation Disk had deduced earlier.
“The vast majority of them match. However, at certain critical nodes ……” Li Fan’s gaze flashed as he grabbed the Infinite Mirror and turned into a streamline traveling through the Nine Earths, arriving at the extreme depths of the underground that was still under the Xuan Huang Earth Vein.
The surrounding area was chaotic, and under the unimaginable pressure, matter had ceased to exist. Only the dark red breath flowed, bringing up a mysterious sound like a murmur.
Under this extreme environment, Li Fan’s distraction also had to hide in the Infinite Mirror and use the Immortal Artifact Body to maintain survival.
And the Infinite Mirror wasn’t that easy either. It took the initiative to release a ghostly light to protect the main body, while Sun Luyao was very vigilant in surveying the surroundings.
“So it’s going to be like this.”
An impulse suddenly surged in Li Fan’s heart.
While the Infinite Mirror was not yet aware of how it was, Li Fan’s distraction was becoming synchronized aging at a rate almost visible to the naked eye.
Seeing that Li Fan’s distraction is about to completely dissipate because of aging, an inexplicable vitality suddenly emerges from its core.
To his surprise, it was actually the same as the means used by Transmission of the Law to hide the sealing of the Book of Transit at the beginning!
That is: the superposition of space in multiple directions. To put it in layman’s terms, it was a section of line that was concealed in different spatial dimensions. Looking at it from a certain angle, naturally nothing could be discovered. Only by constantly changing the perspective, and “turning” all the distributed individuals into one, will the hidden formation finally be revealed.
“And I also sense the aura of that Immortal Seal here. A lot ……”
“Hmm?”
This turn of events dazzled the Infinite Mirror Spirit Sun Luyao.
“If the Immortal Realm still exists, this Returning Character Technique is equivalent to mandatorily opening the passageway to the Immortal Realm. Though it’s only open to specific objects.”
“The inexplicable twist of this formation node is unexpected yet seems as if it should have been, my previous understanding was still a bit too shallow.”
It seemed like a casual and thoughtless question, but in reality, Li Fan was staring closely at Sun Luyao, watching his changes.
“Wonderful, wonderful.”
“The passageway still exists, but the destination is no longer there. However, according to the Infinite Mirror, a cutthroat, it is also possible that the place of that true Immortal Ruin is not gone. It was just forcibly expelled after a short stay. That is, as the saying goes, old laws are hard to tolerate!”
“No.” Sun Luyao’s emotions did not fluctuate in a different way, and he honestly explained, “After being annihilated by the power of the Immortal Seal, my consciousness was in a blank state. And those parts that disappeared, I couldn’t sense their existence completely.”
Sun Luyao’s words abruptly stopped, as if he was caught up in some sort of thought and doubt.
After the Infinite Mirror shattered, all the information related to the Immortal Realm in it disappeared along with it. Even when Li Fan helped it complete a rough reorganization, the vanished records did not return again.
This was only because of the proximity brought about by the action of “seeing”.
Using the remaining essence of the source power, let’s see if we can disguise ourselves as an immortal weapon and utilize the power of the Returning Character Technique to go to the real Immortal Ruins to find out what’s going on.
“And now that the Immortal Realm is broken ……”
Li Fan’s mind suddenly realized, “This is the mortal’s yearning for Immortality, the pursuit of sublimation at a low life level. It is engraved in the depths of the divine soul, innate and indelible.”
“After coming into contact with the Immortal Seal, have any memories been restored?” Li Fan asked while observing the surroundings.
Li Fan marveled repeatedly, immersed in the remains of the traces of a true Immortal-level Great Formation. It seemed to be oblivious to his aging, disappearing crisis.
This was the first time Li Fan had seen an Immortal-level formation that actually existed and not in theory.
“Eh, I don’t know how to express it to senior. All in all it was a very magical experience. Although it did cease to exist, it was as if it had instantly flown to another place in an extremely distant world. It feels too arcane, I really don’t know if it’s my true sensation or an illusion between the ecstasy of life and death.” Sun Luyao slowly said, his tone rather dreamy and disoriented.
“Elder, the remains of the formation that I just scanned above were clearly here. When I got close, I couldn’t see it ……”
“It’s much stronger than before.” Sun Luyao emphasized.
The dead intent was gone, and the withered trees were revitalized. Even the lingering aura of the Xuan Huang Realm’s Boundary Protection Formation was unable to shake the somewhat miserable souls that were previously like candles in the wind.
However, after “returning” to the Anti-Immortal Realm, there might be some changes, which is why I asked this question.
“But ……”
Once the thought was born, it was like a raging flood, no longer difficult to suppress. Surprisingly, it was only through the spontaneous operation of the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra that the desire was suppressed.
It was like a mark left behind by a terrifying beast that had mercilessly run over it, and even space itself was branded with a sense of vicissitude.
“But ……”
Li Fan’s thoughts slightly lurched after hearing his words.
It was even clearer than what he had seen above the ground.
In his distracted thoughts, Li Fan had also found a way to break the Xuan Huang Realm’s Original Boundary Protector Formation’s concealment.
Li Fan was already able to move around and speak to himself in the aura of the grand formation, he glanced at Sun Luyao and smiled faintly, “What, want to learn?”
Under Li Fan’s guidance, the ancient surface of the Infinite Mirror gradually reflected the traces of the lines of the formation.
“For me, relying on the distraction to try something and the main body to be fully prepared to return the truth at any time, the risk is not too high. Well …… it just so happens that this world is sitting on the mountain watching the tigers and waiting for the final curtain to come, it will still take a long time. Can properly plan some ……”
And the infinite mirror Sun Luyao, seems to be because too for the shock also did not react, just dumbfounded to watch, let Li Fan this distraction rapid weakening. Without any reminder.
Although only a few lines, but let Li Fan this self-proclaimed already stood in the top of the mortal world array formation master harvest a lot.
“Elder ……!”
“This is called the Life and Death Xuan Gong. Against birth and death, there is no life and no death.”
Sun Luyao trembled but did not dare to speak.
After holding his tongue for a long time, he slowly said, “Senior’s divine power is really beyond the imagination of the late generation ……”
Li Fan didn’t bother to clear him for the time being, gathering all his attention and drilling up the Xuan Huang Original Primordial Boundary Protection Formation.
From the current glimpse of the corner of the formation, the scale of the Original Primordial Boundary Protecting Grand Formation was unexpectedly large.
If these details that had been discovered were scaled up in the same proportion to the model deduced by the Final Dissociation Disk, then theoretically speaking, the scope of the Primordial Boundary Protecting Formation was surprisingly tens of times larger than the original Xuanhuang Realm!
It was completely inconsistent with common sense!
“Where did it go wrong?”
Li Fan froze slightly, and after a brief moment of contemplation, he continued to activate the Infinite Mirror, reflecting the remaining remains of the formation.
With the gradual completion of the formation data of the actual Original Boundary Protector Formation, as well as the appearance of some joint formation nodes, Li Fan made modifications to the derivation formation model.
He knew the reason why the theory did not match up with the actual. In the previous derivation, the Boundary Protection Formation was merely a large formation that covered and enveloped the Xuan Huang Realm. In reality, however, this primordial grand formation had been folded several times in the same location in several slightly different forms and folds!
After the layers were stacked inward and compressed and changed, it formed a true Xuan Huang Realm Protection Grand Formation!
“Just a simple stacking has increased the potential of the formation by several times. And if the folded formation is unfolded, it can also instantly explode the power of the upper limit of the formation in its unusual state.”
“More importantly, if the Xuan Huang Realm itself were to open up its borders, the Boundary Protector Formation would also be able to perfectly expand to new borders through this constant unfolding. Even if one is cut off from the Immortal Realm for a time, as long as one holds the manipulation handle of the Original Boundary Protecting Grand Formation, one can always maintain the perfect state of the formation through this means.”
The Terminal Dissociation Disk in the main body had its power liberated to the limit. Helping the detachment in the depths of the Xuanhuang to comprehend the Primordial Boundary Protector Grand Formation.
This was coupled with the spectral peering of the Infinite Mirror, which already carried a certain degree of parsing function. It enabled Li Fan to be relatively smooth, gradually transforming the remains of the formation into what he had learned.
In the course of his research, Li Fan discovered that the Original Great Formation very frequently used the technique of formation folding.
Any seemingly simple formation structure could conceal thousands or even tens of thousands of extremely complex formation units.
In order to ensure that he would not fail to parse the formation due to omissions, Li Fan had to slow down his cracking speed.
Not sparing any detail, all of them were thoroughly reflected by the General Infinite Mirror. This was a bitter experience for Sun Luyao.
Even though he was used to being squeezed to the point of exhaustion, such intense work still made him suffer.
Only because he had just done something wrong, Sun Luyao had a ghost in his heart. At the moment, he could only grit his teeth and endure.
As for Li Fan, before he finished analyzing the Original Boundary Protector Formation, he would not really let the Infinite Mirror disintegrate. It would still precisely save Sun Luyao before he collapsed, using the Origin Essence to bring him back.
Time slowly passed, and the vast majority of the formation parsing had been completed.
It came to be outside the central core area.
However, at this moment, Li Fan took the initiative to stop the exploration. The remaining source power essence was enough to support the Infinite Mirror to complete its final work. However, beside this central core area, Li Fan vaguely felt a crisis.
After carefully sensing it, Li Fan was certain that this premonition of crisis did not come from the Primordial Grand Formation itself, but from other sources.
“Here, there is a prohibition?”
Li Fan narrowed his eyes.
“Sun Luyao!” He skillfully made the call.
Sun Luyao answered and revitalized his extremely tired spirit, seriously lining up the surroundings once again.
“Senior, other than the remains of the formation, no abnormalities were found!” After completing his exploration, Sun Luyao couldn’t wait to report.
Li Fan pondered for a little while and said, “Check again!”
This time, Li Fan personally guided the ghostly light of the Infinite Mirror, and used the probing “folding” method to investigate the space beyond the core of the original formation’s center once again.
As expected, he found a circle that had been folded several times! He found a ring of alarm barriers that had been folded several times, completely concealing their own traces in the regular state!
The aura of the alarm system was equally ancient.
However, compared to the original formation relics, it had a somewhat external flavor. It had already been cracked, the core power had disappeared, and only an empty shell remained.
However, it was this empty shell that still gave Li Fan a fatal premonition of crisis.
“It should be the same as the source of the Xuan Huang Original Primordial Formation, both are the handiwork of the upper realm.” Without trespassing, after carefully probing, Li Fan came to this conclusion.
“If the prohibition is complete, even if I have the Xuan Huang Realm’s bottom accumulation of more than ten generations, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to help it. Fortunately, such a terrifying Immortal prohibition has already been broken by previous generations!”
Li Fan discovered where the loophole in the prohibition was.
Being cautious, he separated a rate of his divine soul to test it. Only after determining that it was not a trap, did he bring the Infinite Mirror and enter into the core area of the hub through the loophole in the prohibition.
After a short period of darkness.
When the light came back on, what appeared in front of Li Fan’s eyes was no longer empty nothingness.
Instead, it was a strange device.
Made up of countless concentric circles of different sizes. With the same core, it was just that the circles were distributed in different directions.
Using countless to illustrate is not an exaggerated and untrue statement.
Rather, it was that the circles that made up this odd device, surprisingly, it was truly impossible to count their number with divine sense, or with the eyes.
Obviously, it had lost its power source and was standing still. But it still seemed to be constantly changing its number.
With attention focused on this device, the world itself in front of me seemed to be separating into another branch.
“It’s not an illusion.”
“My presence, is being weakened?”
Alarm bells rang loudly in Li Fan’s distraction’s heart. Not only this demigod, but the main body hiding in the Diffractive Law Jue space of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, all felt the pressure of a horrifying crisis that was just like substance.
Li Fan’s demigod wisely gave up on probing that strange circular device in an instant.
The split, as well as the sense of crisis, thus instantly disappeared.
Li Fan tried to recall, in his sea of consciousness, what that circular device looked like.
He found that even though he was able to recover it, the number of rings in the device was fixed. Moreover, it was not the same as the real thing that he had seen before, and there was an extremely obvious difference that he was unable to point out.
What made Li Fan even more horrified was that every time he recalled, the number of rings of the device that appeared was not the same.
Favorably, his intuition told him that every recollection was right.
This treacherous scene made Li Fan think of the quantum superposition state that he had once heard of before traveling.
“This circular device, it seems to be a remnant of the Immortal Realm as well.”
Li Fan switched his approach, focusing his attention not on the circular device itself, but on the missing part of the device.
It was obvious that something was missing from those circles.
It was not Li Fan’s speculation, but the presence in the surrounding space, like a mural, had already described what this odd device should have originally looked like.
The endless drawings of circular devices formed the mural as a whole. Similarly, the number of circles of these devices in the painting were all different.
But all the devices had one thing in common.
That was that in the center of the rings, there was a bead floating and placed.
A crimson bead that seemed to be engraved with nine star-like patterns.
