Chapter 2072: Chapter 1600
"Potential?" Xiao Wangsheng seemed to have some difficulty understanding what Li Fan was saying.
"In the dynasty, indeed sporadically, there might be one or two people who are unable to perceive the entirety of the Mountain Sea. However, firstly, with assistance from our Mountain Sea Ceremony, they can recover. Secondly, among the billions of citizens in the dynasty, even if some are truly missing, it doesn’t really have any impact."
"But I’ve never heard of large-scale disabilities occurring in a single possibility..."
No wonder Xiao Wangsheng constantly referred to disabilities.
After all, in his view, not being able to synchronize with oneself across all possibilities was no different from being "disabled".
Li Fan did not refute but pondered in his heart, "If spirituality is regarded as a quantifiable resource, then the people’s spirituality in the [Yi] Dynasty is generally far superior to the living beings of today’s Mountain Sea."
"Even though they are both nurtured from the Mountain Sea, the gap is so wide..."
"It seems that the Mountain Sea itself has suffered significant damage over the course of the Path-obliterating Calamity."
Li Fan did not continue discussing this topic with Xiao Wangsheng but instead consulted with him on what to be mindful of after their future journey to the Other Shore.
"Apart from our ultimate goal of rallying the immortals of the Other Shore to support the Stare of the Stars plan, it is best not to hide anything, even including the origin of Brother Xiao..."
"Even though it’s already the Era of the Last Law being eroded by Dao Yan, the possibilities within the Mountain Sea are still endless, and all kinds of situations can arise. A survivor of ancient civilization like Brother Xiao is not particularly rare. And except for Brother Xiao, there are no other survivors of the Yi Dynasty. As long as Brother Xiao doesn’t reveal any flaws, we don’t have to worry about the risk of our secret being exposed."
"Those who can go to the Other Shore are all immensely talented, with great will and broad minds. Their perceptions cannot be changed overnight. It may take a long time to see results. Brother Xiao, you must not be impatient..." Li Fan warned impatiently.
"Rest assured, my friend, I have that kind of resilience," Xiao Wangsheng said in a deep voice.
Li Fan wasn’t really considering for the other’s sake, but just found an excuse to bide his time. And after considerable effort to "revive" Xiao Wangsheng, it was all to have more security upon reaching the Other Shore.
Li Fan once sparred with Xiao Wangsheng. Indeed, he was an extraordinary strongman equivalent to the Mountain Sea even during ancient times. Even though Xiao Wangsheng now was only a piece of residual fragment, his strength was not to be underestimated.
Even the True Spirit Fire igniting possibilities could hardly harm him in the slightest.
In Xiao Wangsheng’s own words, only a large-scale collapse of the Mountain Sea leading to annihilation could truly threaten him, or a powerful force like [Star] transcending the Mountain Sea.
Apart from that, standing firm within the Mountain Sea, he was almost invincible.
"In the past, the majority of the Mountain Sea Ceremony did not excel in martial arts. It was because within the Mountain Sea, there was no opponent worthy of a match. With a single thought, the target could be annihilated. There was no need to study any magic," Xiao Wangsheng explained.
"This is truly a power that overcomes all magic!" After trying various methods, none could pose any threat to Xiao Wangsheng. Li Fan couldn’t help but sigh.
Although Xiao Wangsheng had nothing to teach Li Fan in terms of magic and divine techniques, the occasional clashes with someone equivalent to the Mountain Sea could greatly train Li Fan’s ability to adapt to his Mountain Sea encounters.
Gradually, those howling sounds emanating from the endless Mountain Sea became less and less disconcerting. Li Fan gradually achieved, reminiscent of Lord Guardian Hill, a calm state of composure, sitting atop the Mountain forgetting the Sea.
In fact, during the years the True Spirit Scatter Plan was implemented, with the phantom Xuanhuang Immortal Boat’s footsteps, Li Fan almost traversed every corner of the Mountain Sea. His strength increased daily at an unfathomable rate.
His own intent covered one percent of the current Mountain Sea. Though it hadn’t reached the level of All of Me Return as One, it wasn’t far from the concept of "Transcendence" in the Other Shore.
This was because Li Fan was different from other strongmen who practiced the All of Me Return as One Path. For the Dark Heavenly Doctor, Xie Subai, and the others, their selves in other possibilities were strong or weak.
The strong could perhaps reach the Nameless True Immortal Realm, whereas the weak might not even reach the True Immortal Realm. Given the context of Dao Yan’s rampant background, the destruction of the Immortal World and the break in the ascension path were highly probable. Swallowing another self that could not become a True Immortal would result in extremely limited improvement.
However, for Li Fan, those phantom selves who were discreetly sent out were at the very least as strong as him, with no less than True Immortal strength, with a lower limit guaranteed. Especially supported by the unique structure of the Net of the Infinite Aspects, he could even instantly lend a portion of the original’s power to his phantom self at the far end of the Mountain Sea.
Moreover, these phantoms entrenched in different possibilities could continue cultivating by plundering the resources of that possibility. The improvements at each point brought about the overall progression. If not for Li Fan intentionally hiding his strength, his growth rate could have increased several times.
This is the highly efficient cultivation achieved by the unified will coordination like the people of the Yi Dynasty.
The strength accumulated with each breath couldn’t be reached in a singular possibility even after millions of years of time.
"This is also why the Realm of Transcendence represents a qualitative change compared to the ordinary Nameless True Immortal. It can transform the Mountain Sea’s infinity into part of one’s own foundation..."
