Chapter 56: Mercy Blesses the Mortal
Chapter 56: Mercy Blesses Mortals
The surrounding seawater continued to irrigate towards the black hole, only to be vaporized into water vapor when it touched the edge of the black hole.
The air above the black hole distorted as much as it could due to the extremely high temperature.
Under the shroud of the rising water mist around them, a black and white spectacle was formed.
Li Fan, piloting the Tai Yan Boat, watched this scene from mid-air and was suddenly enveloped in endless fear.
Ten Thousand Immortals Island …… is just gone?
A scene from the past on the Ten Thousand Immortal Island quickly flashed through his mind.
The Dharma Transmission Square where ten thousand statues stood, the countless cultivators who came and went endlessly
Even those magnificent buildings in the center of the island that were said to have housed great powers of the God Transformation Stage ……
Just like that, it’s gone?
Not even a layer of ash was left behind.
What kind of power can do all this?
Was it the malice of the Heavenly Dao?
Li Fan didn’t know.
In front of this very impactful scene, Li Fan’s mind was only in chaos.
Cultivate Immortality, and prove Eternal Life.
The goal that Li Fan had been aiming for all along seemed so ridiculous at this time.
In the face of this sudden disaster, immortal cultivators had become just like mortals, no different from ants.
Once the fear in his heart was created, it was difficult to suppress it.
“Escape! Escape from this hellish place!”
Li Fan’s eyes turned red as he piloted the Tai Yan Boat and fled to the west of the Cong Yun Sea in a playful manner.
He wanted to flee to the land, away from this sea that was like a purgatory.
Just like this, Li Fan flew for an unknown amount of time in the chaos of his brain.
“Boom!”
The Taiyan Boat was forced to stop as if it had collided with something.
Luckily, it had a protective spell formation and didn’t directly destroy the boat.
Under the violent impact, Li Fan was slightly injured, but as a result, he gradually calmed down.
He looked towards the outside of the Tai Yan Boat.
There was nothing.
In the distance was a continuous coastline, and this place was not far from the mainland.
Li Fan maneuvered the Tai Yan Boat and tried to fly towards the front.
“Boom!”
Something blocked in front of Li Fan.
Li Fan crashed into it one at a time.
Yet it was never allowed to advance an inch.
Li Fan tried other directions, and it was all the same.
An invisible shroud separated the Sea of Cong Clouds from the continent not far away.
Allowed to enter, not allowed to leave.
Li Fan froze.
A word suddenly came to him.
A turtle in a jar.
After a long time, Li Fan burst out laughing.
He looked up into the sky.
So ruthless.
Then became a bit confused, should he call out [Return to Truth] and return to the initial anchor point?
Better to look around again.
Li Fan became somewhat helpless and lost his goal.
He piloted the Tai Yan Boat and wandered on this sea of clouds.
He passed by Night’s End Island, which was the same as the rest of the islands, a post-apocalyptic scene with no survivors.
He passed by Liuli Island.
The island guard formation was broken, and He Zhenghao was nowhere to be found. The corpses on the island were all over the place, and there were also no signs of life.
Liuyun Island, Zhongqiu Island ……
were all turned into extinct places.
Occasionally, when they met a surviving cultivator like Li Fan, they all became crazy.
Seeing Li Fan was like meeting a ghost, screaming and fleeing.
……
In the end, Li Fan somehow returned to Tai’an Island.
It was here that he felt the long-lost vitality.
Perhaps, the entire Cong Yun Sea was all that was left of the living.
Li Fan walked down the street and looked at the mortals on Tai’an Island.
They still didn’t know what kind of changes had happened outside of Tai’an Island, and their faces were still showing smiles after the robbery.
Unbeknownst to them, what awaited them was in the aftermath of the calamity. However, perhaps ignorance was also a blessing.
Witnessing that kind of scene, which was like the destruction of the world, I’m afraid that in the future, every night will have nightmares.
Li Fan couldn’t help but laugh at himself.
As he continued walking, suddenly, a burst of pious prayers came to his ears.
“Blessed be the Immortal Master of Saving Suffering, blessed be the wind and rain in the future, and have food every year.”
“Blessings from the Immortal Master of Saving Bitterness and Suffering, protect my family’s Yu’er to grow up peacefully.”
……
Li Fan froze and turned his head to look.
It turned out that a temple had been built in Tai’an Island at some point.
A statue was enshrined in the temple, and on the tablet in front of the statue, the words “Immortal Master of Saving Suffering” were clearly written.
The statue looked vaguely similar to Li Fan, his eyes slightly drooping, looking at the people kneeling in front of him with pity.
“Save the suffering immortal master ……” Li Fan was silent for a while.
After a long time, he let out a long sigh.
“It’s just that, if I can bless you for a few moments, I’ll count it as a few moments.”
……
However, wanting to shelter mortals under the killing machine of heaven and earth was obviously not an easy task.
Originally, Li Fan thought that this disaster had already passed.
What he did not expect was that the real disaster had actually just begun.
One year, two years, three years ……
The sky still showed no signs that it was going to rain.
The sea level began to drop and the water began to move ever further away from the island.
Even with the desalination spell formation, it was becoming more and more difficult for the mortals of Tai’an Island to get water.
Every time, they had to walk for a long, long time to find water.
They didn’t know why the heavens had sent down such a calamity, but they feared that sooner or later, the Cong Yun Sea would completely dry up as well.
So their families enshrined the wooden statue of Li Fan and prayed day and night.
There was nothing Li Fan could do.
The great changes in heaven and earth were not something he could fight against.
The only good news was that during these three years, perhaps because the vast majority of the cultivators in the Cong Yun Sea had died out, the killing chance in the heavens and earth that targeted the Immortal Cultivators had also slowly dispersed.
Li Fan also took this opportunity to recultivate to the middle stage of Qi Refining.
“I’ll return to the anchor point when you guys stop worshipping me one day.” Being prayed to day and night by a group of mortals was indeed a strange experience.
He activated his “Discerning Opportunity” divine ability and looked at the increasingly dense death aura above the mortals’ heads, and secretly decided.
“Wait, why is there a hint of white hidden in this black death aura?”
Li Fan froze.
Ever since his cultivation had been restored, Li Fan had been checking the Qi of Tai’an Island every day.
This time, he actually somehow discovered a ray of life that he had not been able to detect before.
Where did the chance of life come from?
Li Fan operated the Thousand Mechanisms Jade Huan Golden Chapter to its limit and realized that the life chance of the people of Tai’an Island was due to himself!
So it became even more puzzling.
After confirming it again and again, Li Fan then realized that the vitality indeed originated from himself.
However, it was not Li Fan himself, but an item on his body.
An item that was about to be forgotten by him.
Heaven and Earth Wonders: Canghai Sea
Since it had yet to take shape, this Canghai Pearl had been placed in a corner of the Tai Yan Boat by him.
It wasn’t until today, under the reflection of the qi, that Li Fan remembered it.
Unlike when he had just seen it over ten years ago, at this moment it had become azure blue and contained a dense water vapor around it.
It was as if there was really a sea of oceanic sea breeding in it.
“There is a vicissitude of the sea that passes away, and there is a vicissitude of the sea that is born.”
Li Fan stared blankly at the Canghai Bead in his hand and suddenly thought of something, he set up the Tai Yan Boat and kept going upwards, flying ten thousand meters into the air and looking down.
The Cong Yun Sea below, because of the long drought, large swathes of the seabed began to be exposed.
An undersea mountain range gradually revealed its true appearance.
The original islands of the Cong Yun Sea were the peaks of these mountain ranges.
Kou Hong’s enthusiastic face suddenly flashed before Li Fan’s eyes.
He had said this to Li Fan, “There is no harm. If you, Taoist friend, go out, you can come to Ling Tian City in the Cong Yun Mountain Range to look for me.”
Li Fan smiled.
Cong Yun Sea.
Cong Yun Mountain.
It turns out to be a place.
