Chapter 414: A Remaining Thought Hidden in the Pavilion
Chapter 412 – Hidden Remains in the Pavilion
“How does it feel?”
Li Fan nodded slightly as the commentator Cain’s inquiry came from his ears.
“Good times, true to its name.”
The words were half meant to be an unobtrusive response.
Half to be genuine.
Indeed, if we were to just talk about “staying alive”, the cultivators under the rule of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders’ Association nowadays had a much easier time of it than in most periods in history.
Even in terms of the difficulty of obtaining a suitable technique, it wouldn’t be much more difficult than that of the scattered cultivators in the ancient times.
Although it was said that once one entered the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, one would be a cow or horse for life.
But at the very least, if the captive oxen and horses don’t make a fool of themselves, living a longer life is not a problem.
In other periods in the history of the Xuan Huang Realm, short-lived cultivators who wanted to become oxen and horses might not have that qualification.
As for whether life was precious or whether the so-called freedom was higher.
It was another eternal, serious topic.
Li Fan also had no intention of dwelling on this.
What he cared about was that just now, those one hundred divine sense fragments that had been baptized by the [Era] were about to be disorganized in the sea of consciousness.
However, they were absorbed by the Dao Transformation Stone crystals that he had condensed by practicing the [Dao Transformation Divine One] secret method.
Those things that had been experienced in the [Era], but the details of which quickly became blurred after the experience ended, slowly became clear again.
In the blue Dao Transformation Stone, a separate scene could be seen faintly, slowly taking shape.
It actually looked slightly similar to the [Era].
“This is?”
Li Fan’s heart shook slightly.
“The silhouette I vaguely saw when the [Era] experience ended should not be an illusion.”
“Like a means of implanting brainwashing thoughts in the hearts of all the watching cultivators.”
“However, I myself have the Dao Transformation Stone, which not only immunized me from this brainwashing. And ……”
While continuing to visit the Divine Collection Museum under the leadership of Cing Yin, Li Fan separated his mind and checked the changes in his own Dao Transformation Stone.
Perhaps it was because all the Dao Transformation Stones in the world came from that [Mother of Dao Transformation Stones] in the beginning, the same family and the same origin.
The Dao Transformation Stone crystal in Li Fan’s sea of consciousness even spontaneously absorbed all the scattered divine sense.
And according to the [Era] imprint contained in the memory of the divine sense, it was recovering in the reverse direction, trying to reconstruct the world that had been deduced from Li Fan’s memory.
Unfortunately, it seemed that due to the insufficient quality of this Dao Transformation Stone of Li Fan, the arithmetic power was limited.
When Li Fan tried to carefully browse through these worlds, he realized that currently these worlds were still simply just an empty shell.
The images were not continuous, but rather, they developed at a lick, at a time, jumping around.
The scope of involvement was also only limited to the corner of the world involved in the memories.
Beyond that, there is a distorted, broken mirror-like appearance.
Li Fan observed it for a while.
It was found that these worlds, were expanding incrementally at a slow pace, from both the dimensions of time and space.
Limited by the ability to deduce, the progress was almost imperceptible.
If the Dao Transformation Stone was just that, I’m afraid that Li Fan might not be able to make substantial progress even if he reincarnated for another hundred lifetimes.
However, Li Fan had not forgotten that in Yi Yin’s tomb, there was a fixed Dao Transformation Stone present.
Every time he reincarnated, he could absorb it.
The Dao Transformation Stone crystal in his mind would also be strengthened a few points more from this.
“At that time, perhaps I can recreate the [Era] myself?”
“What’s the point of that?”
Li Fan suddenly thought of something and his eyes flashed.
“Elder Cain, a question suddenly occurred to me. You just said that you had once invested a million blank divine souls into the [Era] for experimentation.”
“Then in the [Era] that is functioning today, are there any real divine souls still present?”
He asked the narrator.
“Oh, naturally there is.”
Regarding this matter, Prophet seemed unwilling to say much and simply replied.
Li Fan pondered for a while, then suddenly pressed on, “You said that such a large number of divine souls have constantly gone through the baptism of the [Era]. Has there ever been a time when they were able to realize that the world they were living in was illusory and not real?”
“After all, no matter how ‘extremely illusory and close to the real’, it will still be different from the real world, right?”
Cing Yin glanced over his shoulder at Li Fan.
Looking around, he lowered his voice: “When I first handed over to the previous C Yin, he once told me an anecdote.”
“About thirty-nine years ago, [Era] once stopped running for a while.”
“The entire Museum God Collection was also closed at that time, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.”
“At that time, everyone was unsure, but later there were rumors that one of the millions of divine souls in the [Era] had inexplicably disappeared.”
“After searching the entire Divine Collection Hall, it was ultimately not found.”
“The matter was later left unsettled.”
“As for whether it really escaped or disappeared due to a malfunction ……”
Prophecy finished his words and said no more.
Li Fan nodded slowly.
As long as something was likely to happen, then as long as the sample was large enough, it could be seen as inevitable.
Millions of divine souls, constantly reincarnating and repeating.
There will always be one lucky one who will discover the truth of the world they live in.
Li Fan didn’t find it strange either.
He had only confirmed one thing from C Yin.
[Era], perhaps the real use was not for brainwashing.
Rather, it was used to select and cultivate true geniuses.
How much a person ultimately accomplishes cannot be based purely on talent.
The combination of qi, heart, mind, and so on would all have an impact.
Often, some so-called geniuses died along the way before they could grow up.
Instead, those who were unassuming might go farther.
In the real world, cultivating cultivators required a large amount of cost. One also needed to risk the accidental death of the cultivator and the initial investment going down the drain.
In the [Era], there was no need to worry about that.
Even through the [Era] selection, the results might even be a little better.
Indeed, the Great Dark Age and the Waste Land Age, the darkest periods in the history of the Xuan Huang Realm, were incredibly dangerous and had an extremely high mortality rate.
However, on the contrary, if a divine soul was able to make something of itself during these periods, it was an achievement of greatness and a change in history.
It was enough to prove that he was extraordinary.
Li Fan believed that in the long years of the [Era]’s operation, there should be not a few such existences.
Selecting them out, and then re-endowing them with a physical body, imposing a brainwashing, absolute loyalty forbidden spell.
Cultivate absolute loyal dogs as well as thugs that were effectively loyal to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
The strength of these cultivators was frightening to think about.
During the construction of the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, as well as the Tian Xuan Spirit Locking Formation.
Li Fan would often see some black-clothed cultivators, not knowing which organization they belonged to in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
They were often expressionless.
However, the dangerous aura that unintentionally flowed from their bodies, as well as the blood that could not be hidden, caused a slight chill in Li Fan’s heart every time.
Li Fan guessed that these people, most likely, were cultivated through the [Era].
“This method is wonderful.”
“And for me, perhaps I can wait until my Dao Transformation Stone is of sufficient quality, and use the history of the past to hone myself.”
As the saying goes, heroes make the times.
But current events also make heroes.
Li Fan didn’t think he was that outstanding.
He was just an ordinary person who relied on his [Returning Truth] psychic ability to struggle for survival in this crisis-ridden Xuan Huang Realm.
With his several lifetimes of experience as a Tai Shi in Da Xuan, and the experience he had summarized.
When dealing with YuanYing and below cultivators, he might still be able to handle himself.
But when facing those old monsters who had survived until today from the tribulation of the ancient times in the future.
It would probably be a bit overstretched and still young.
What’s more, in front of these truly strong people, there might not even be a chance to [Return the truth].
Wrestling with them, in addition to cultivation, mind and experience were also extremely important.
By constantly experiencing the historical fragments in one’s mind that mimicked the [Era], one might be able to make up for some of Li Fan’s shortcomings in this area.
……
The Museum of Divine Collections, which housed countless treasures.
Li Fan, led by C Yin, walked around and browsed through one of the treasures in the Xuan Huang Realm.
Except for the [Good Times] area.
There were multiple other areas within the Divine Collection.
[Heroes of Many Prides], which mainly contained items related to cultivators who had left traces in the history of the Xuan Huang Realm.
Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood: originally, it was just a mediocre iron blade. After the great change descended, its owner carried this weapon and slaughtered an unknown number of cultivators. The blood all dyed the blade into a dark red, and the fury was still residual but not dispersed even after thousands of years. After endless killings, its owner managed to survive. But what was saddening was that this murderous weapon was found in the stomach of one of the underground alien beasts. Its owner was also digested with only the bones of his hand left, full of unwillingness to hold the [Corpse Mountain and Sea of Blood] in his death grip.
Ten Thousand Heads: a magic weapon that emits a foul odor. Sacrificed from tens of thousands of heads. And these heads are all from the same sect: the Soul Sealing Sect. The refiner of the Ten Thousand Heads Streamer, however, also came from the Soul Sealing Sect. At the time of the Great Tribulation, he slaughtered all of his fellow disciples and refined them into magic weapons. It can be said to be extremely ferocious. Unfortunately, this kind of character did not survive the Great Dark Age in the end. This magic weapon also became someone else’s trophy. It was passed down for thousands of years and eventually returned to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
……
[Cang Yun Hai] Area: displaying all the topographical changes in the Xuan Huang Realm over the past thousands of years, watching Li Fan’s jaw drop. The kind of mountain and sea changes that occurred in the Cong Yunhai were really nothing more unusual. Heavenly rivers crashing into the earth, high mountains cracking out of deep valleys. Even the land of two states merged into one place in a matter of moments. Straight away, Li Fan lamented that he had seen too little.
……
[Ten Thousand Laws Contest] Area: displaying all sorts of feats that had appeared in the history of the Xuan Huang Realm. Of course, there were only relevant introductions, and it was impossible to see the specific contents of the techniques. Even so, it made Li Fan look so mesmerized that he couldn’t walk.
……
Li Fan was so immersed in it that he couldn’t help himself. Forgetting the passage of time.
When these astronomical, thousands of years old objects traveled through time and space and appeared in front of Li Fan, the image of the Xuanhuang Realm finally gradually became vivid in his mind.
It was no longer just an empty concept, but was tainted with the thickness of history.
Slowly, he finally arrived at the center area of the Museum Divine Collection Tube.
The most conspicuous thing was that a good-sized piece of space was empty in the center.
Other than a human skull, there was nothing else.
Cing Yin pointed at the skull and said, “This is the skull of that legendary first cultivator infected with the Immortal Mortal Miasma. It’s just that I don’t know what exactly is so precious about it that the curator specified that it should be placed to ……”
“Hm? What’s wrong with you?”
Cing Yin looked at Li Fan beside him with some surprise.
He only saw that his eyes suddenly closed, as if he was suffering from some great pain, and his body was trembling violently.
There were even unstoppable beads of sweat dripping down his body.
“Are you alright?”
Looking at Li Fan’s tendency to become more and more serious, C Yin could not help but mutter straight in his heart.
Li Fan revealed a smile with difficulty and shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine.
However, he never dared to open his already reddened eyes.
“Absorbable item found: [Eternal Legacy].”
“Is it absorbed!”
“Absorbable item found: [Eternal Relic].”
“Absorb or not!”
“Absorb or not!”
“Absorbed or not!”
……
The beeping sound of [Return to Truth] kept echoing in Li Fan’s mind as if it was out of control.
And to the sound getting louder and louder, almost taking over all of his mind and soul.
And he even felt a hunger that was indescribable in words that was destroying his sanity.
This kind of hunger had appeared when he had first seen the Eternal Remnant of the Heavenly Yang Reality.
But now, the intensity of this desire was a hundred or a thousand times stronger than when he had faced the Heavenly Sun Remnant!
There is still a chapter tomorrow to make up for it This chapter 3400 words can not write (just broke the chapter)
