Chapter 387: Wood and Water Produce Fallen Wood
Chapter 385 – Wood and Water Born Fallen Wood
“Physiological age: 882/899.”
Working non-stop in his hands, while setting up the array Li Fan skimmed the Still True panel.
The successive oblivious labors were not without a price.
After Li Fan got rid of that process of arranging formations in which his mind was completely immersed and it was like an epiphany.
An uncontrollable feeling of weakness surged to his heart.
Physiological age grew by leaps and bounds under the extreme pressure.
Today’s Li Fan had truly come to the end of his life.
“It’s time to take a break.”
This thought couldn’t help but pop up in his mind.
But in a whirlwind, it was used as the main material for his [Reverse Practice Dao Heart].
Forcing down all slackness and exhaustion.
“How can I seek transcendence in this treacherous Immortal Cultivation Realm if I don’t be tough on myself.”
Li Fan said secretly in his heart, then shook his spirit, forcing his aging self to burn the last hours of his life to work on the array once again.
The looks and reactions of Yan Hang and the others below were all expected by Li Fan.
In fact, there was no need for them to report it.
Li Fan had already explained his current physical condition when he had just used the Supervisory Sky Record to make an application for inter-regional work to Qi Bu Yi.
After Chi Bu Yi had no success in persuading him, he had resolutely agreed to Li Fan’s request.
“Theoretically speaking, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance should extend my life for me. But there are no absolutes, and I have to be prepared for the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to act outside the norm.”
“It’s a good thing that I have more than enough contribution points on me, and I still have one Transformation Longevity Fruit remaining. If necessary, either buying or exchanging it, I will also be able to find some life-extending items. Buy some time to wrap up this world.”
……
After Yan Hang and the others submitted their report, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, with not a single splash stirred up.
This caused the group of five to be puzzled and at the same time greatly disappointed.
On the contrary, it was Li Fan himself who had not been affected in the slightest, making them more and more impressed.
In this way, in the midst of all the ups and downs, another half a year passed.
On this day, the calm Water Cave Sky changed drastically.
The azure water world shook violently without warning.
Caught off guard, Li Fan’s process of setting up the formation was forced to abort.
Subconsciously, he wanted to observe what was happening around him, but he only felt that the entire heaven and earth were spinning in general, making him dizzy and unable to do so.
Fortunately, Yan Hang and the others reacted very quickly.
The moment the sudden change occurred, they flew to Li Fan’s side and took out various types of protective magic treasures, surrounding him in the center to protect him.
In the protective shield formed by the channel of light, the influence of the huge change in the outside world was finally slightly isolated.
Only then did Li Fan see clearly what was happening in this Water Attribute Cave Heaven.
The straight water-wood intersection line seemed to be squeezed by a huge force at the moment.
Wavy twisted lines were formed.
The calm water surface, which had remained unchanged for ten thousand years, was creating monstrous waves.
Towering high into the sky, it connected with the wood attribute cavern above the intrusion.
In the loud, thunder-like roaring friction sound, the inverted giant tree above the heads of the crowd was also closer in general.
The pointed and continuous branches continued to extend towards the bottom, and after touching the Water Cave Heaven, they all became crippled and withered.
But it only slightly slowed down the momentum of growth, still firmly piercing the boundary between the two realms.
The originally pure and peaceful water attribute aura between heaven and earth also gradually became riotous.
Li Fan and the others watched the occurrence of the huge changes within the cave sky with gravity.
In the Directory of Heaven, however, they had already received Qi Bu Yi’s reminder.
“Everyone don’t panic, this is a sign of further development of the [Five Elements Returning to One].”
“It’s even more rapid than we expected. It looks like everyone needs to speed up their progress a bit more.” “Carefully beware of the changes that may come from the intersection of the two realms. When you encounter special circumstances, report them in time.”
……
Once changes occur, there is no momentum to stop.
But human adaptability is also extremely terrifying.
Soon, Li Fan and the others became accustomed to working in an environment where huge waves and friction roars surged up from time to time.
For them, these would at most affect their state of mind and not constitute an actual threat.
The real danger came from the strange creations created during the fusion of the Water and Wood Realms.
It was a monster that was created by the withered remains of a giant tree that had fallen into the Water Cave Heaven, mixing the two attributes of water and wood.
The shapes varied, and the whole body was made up of withered yellow wood.
Blue water kept flowing on the surface of the wooden body, like blood that was visible on the outside.
It was extremely aggressive and had a very keen sense of a cultivator’s aura.
Even if they are tens of thousands of miles apart, they will spontaneously look for the closest cultivator to attack.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance had tried many things, and currently had not been able to find a suitable response.
Fighting was then inevitable.
Although the bodies of these monsters were shaped like haggard wood, their texture was unexpectedly hard.
The full force of a YuanYing cultivator’s strike could only leave a not too deep, not too shallow wound on their bodies.
It was good that their fighting style was really clumsy and their numbers were relatively rare.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance side tended to work in groups of several and act collectively.
Relying on their numerical advantage, as well as their fine equipment to suppress them.
After spending some time, they were able to exterminate the monsters without any danger.
After each battle, Yan Hang and the others would exhaustively report the battle process through the Heavenly Record.
After collecting a lot of data, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance had also compiled the essentials when engaging these monsters and pushed them to every cultivator.
The monsters that appeared in the various caves differed from each other because of the different attributes of the fusion.
The wood-water fusion, wood-dominated monster that Li Fan encountered was named “Fallen Wood”.
There were two techniques that were most effective in dealing with Fallen Wood.
One was the fire attribute technique. Under the scorching flames, the wood would be burned and the water would boil, and the fallen wood would be turned into flying ash.
The second was the Separation Technique.
Completely separating the blue water flowing on the surface of the fallen wood from its own body.
The Fallen Wood would then be broken without offense, from a horrifying and vicious monster to pure wood and water in the blink of an eye.
The separation technique was not only useful for Fallen Wood, but was also highly effective when dealing with monsters of other compatible attributes.
Unfortunately, it was too cold, and very few cultivators had mastered it.
The crowd also had to rely on the regular feats of each attribute to deal with them.
After summarizing the key strategies of battle, when facing the monsters that arose in the Cave Heaven, the cultivators were considered to be more comfortable.
Unfortunately, most of the cultivators were still worried.
On this day, another piece of withered wood debris fell down, transforming into monsters that resembled humans and beasts, broken and unbroken, and launched an attack towards Li Fan and the others.
Soon, Yan Hang’s group of five met them.
Li Fan set up his formation while observing the battle between the two sides.
“Compared to the one we initially saw, the fighting style and techniques of these Fallen Woods have indeed improved completely.”
“These individuals separated from the fallen trees seem to have a collective consciousness.”
Looking at the images of the scorching battle not far away, Li Fan was secretly alarmed.
“This is still just the two attributes of wood and water fused into one. If there were one more, or even several more attributes, wouldn’t the monster be a few points more powerful?”
