Chapter 2080: Chapter 1604: All Wonders on the Other Shore
“I just don’t know, by traversing the River of Time to different time nodes of the Mountain and Sea, then returning to the Other Shore. During this period, what is the direction of time on the Other Shore?”
Li Fan surveyed the River of Time, vaguely speculating in his heart: “Perhaps, the time of the entire Other Shore is independent of the Mountain and Sea, forming its own system.”
As if confirming his guess, not long after, the figure he had previously seen entering the River of Time emerged from the river again. Though it had just disappeared for a moment, its aura had already changed drastically.
Moreover, the location from which it entered and exited the River of Time was not entirely the same. Although the Eternal Celestial Ladder used to enter the River of Time had been exhausted, it managed to return smoothly through the Green Stone Slab at another time node.
The Bridge of Guidance arrived from the edge of the sky, taking this rather disheveled figure to other regions.
From beginning to end, it seemed it had no intention of greeting Li Fan, the observer.
And in the illusion of the entire River of Time, many similar figures shuttling back and forth could still be seen.
Li Fan did not disturb these people, merely watching in silence.
Having watched for a long time, it no longer felt strange.
His gaze then shifted to the origin and the far end of the river.
Descending inexplicably from the Vault of Heaven, surging and flowing, then stopping abruptly in a black Abyss.
Without head or tail, without beginning or end.
Only one central section harbors life.
Beyond the river, in that black Abyss, merely glancing made Li Fan’s spirit consciousness frantically send warnings. As if looking too long would be a terrifying disaster in itself.
This was an unprecedented occurrence.
“The Realm of Eternal Silence.”
“The true end of existence where the Mountain and Sea no longer exists.”
Just a brief moment of looking, and Li Fan was already drenched in cold sweat, forced to move his gaze away.
“Truly unimaginable, what kind of cultivation base is necessary to safely traverse that Abyss?”
Li Fan was horrified, gaining a clearer understanding of the strength of All Saints on the Other Shore.
To prevent the Immortals of the Other Shore from mistakenly entering the Realm of Eternal Silence, barriers similar to enchantments were set up near the two abysses at the beginning and end of the River of Time.
Like two virtual lines, they divided the River of Time.
“Emperor Tai Tian once said that he traveled upstream in the river for 74,876 years, reaching the initial end of our time and space segment. The beginning of time and space can still be understood. Like a High Wall, there’s simply no road ahead. It’s just unknown what scenery lies at the end of the river.”
“Clearly, the entire Mountain and Sea still maintained its existence a moment ago. Yet, on the temporal level, the Mountain and Sea ahead had long been entirely swallowed by Dao Yan. Thus…”
“In an instant, the Immeasurable Dao Yan descended, annihilating the Mountain and Sea World, and everything within the Other Shore!”
“This is a truly terrifying Great Calamity!”
A cold sweat trickled down Li Fan’s forehead again, retreating in shock from the horrific illusion.
“It’s not that my will is weak, but being outside the illusion of the river, beneath the abysses at both ends, naturally subjects one to the suppression of the Abyss.”
“The power of the Realm of Eternal Silence can even penetrate time, affecting me who is in the Other Shore.”‘
“No wonder there’s no other observer here besides me, the newcomer.”
Having gained a preliminary understanding of the River of Time and Space and the Realm of Eternal Silence, Li Fan no longer lingered here.
Summoning the Rainbow Guide Light to head to the next area.
“Mountain Sea Seamless Forest.”
When the Rainbow Guide Light approached this area, its escape speed involuntarily slowed down.
Because within this Mountain Sea Seamless Forest, all the Transcendent Strongmen who have passed away in the Other Shore are buried!
The steles, like a forest, floated among the endless illusion of the Mountain and Sea, resembling page upon page of flat boats.
Although these Transcendent Strongmen had departed, the True Essence of Transcendence they left behind was still preserved here.
Every time his gaze fell on a stele, transcendental images corresponding to it would emerge in Li Fan’s spirit consciousness.
Leaving Li Fan in awe.
“These True Essences of Transcendence seem to have a significant relation to the stability of the Other Shore and the radiance that pervades the entire Mountain and Sea.”
“Therefore, this place is heavily guarded, known as the most secure in the Other Shore.”
The barrier Li Fan saw earlier sealing the Realm of Eternal Silence is symbolically more significant than protective. Honestly, if Li Fan insisted on forcing his way through, he could break through the seal. After all, there’s no need to forcibly stop someone determined to court death.
However, it’s different here.
If Li Fan got greedy for the myriad True Essences of Transcendence in the sky and attempted to seize them by force…
In the next moment, the punishment by the Nine Saints might descend like Thunder.
Building an Eternal Celestial Ladder in the river would have been the lightest trigger.
“It’s best to just look, not to make a move.”
Li Fan squinted, his gaze quickly sweeping over one Transcendence Stele after another.
“No wonder I traversed one percent of the Mountain and Sea and never found any other True Essence of Transcendence beyond the lone sail.”
“It’s not that Hai Zhen intentionally obstructed in this simulation, but because any new True Essence of Transcendence that the Immortals of the Other Shore discover within the Mountain and Sea and deliver here is considered a major contribution. Depending on its quality, they might even earn the privilege of consulting the All Saints…”
“Even Transcendent Strongmen would greatly benefit from observing the Steles in the Mountain Sea Seamless Forest.”
“It’s said that one of the Nine Saints attained enlightenment here in this Mountain Sea Seamless Forest.”
“Being able to resonate with a True Essence of Transcendence within is akin to when I initially absorbed the lone sail, personally experiencing the life of a fallen Transcendent. It’s almost like living another life, and one as a Transcendent Strongman.”
“As long as one’s talent is sufficient, this vast Monument Forest can all become nourishment for one’s enlightenment.”
