Chapter 2067: Chapter 1597: Mountain Sea Equals_2
"I have Hai Zhen and have occasionally obtained the Eternal Life Path. I’ve even witnessed the calamity of the Three Paths mingling. These are all things on par with the Mountain and Sea. Therefore..."
"The owner of this black fragment is likely an existence equal in nature to the Mountain and Sea?"
Li Fan squinted his eyes, deliberating carefully but still struggled to come to a conclusion.
The Mountain and Sea is vast and boundless, yet he encountered an existence comparable to the Mountain and Sea so quickly and coincidentally?
Given Li Fan’s nature, it’s hard for him not to have a trace of suspicion in his heart.
But upon further reflection, since the Primordial era’s end, it’s actually been many years since he started crossing the Mountain and Sea.
During these years, the myriad Xuanhuang Immortal Boats have nearly traveled every corner of the Mountain and Sea. Both time and space have accumulated to a certain extent. Discovering fragments left by those who match the Mountain and Sea doesn’t seem coincidental but rather inevitable.
"Under such large-scale exploration by someone like me, as long as there are fragments left behind by those equal in nature to the Mountain and Sea in the Mortal World, I will almost certainly find them."
Li Fan suppressed the doubts in his heart.
He began to carefully study the invisible fragment beside him.
Only he could observe the existence of this fragment, and research could not rely on others. Fortunately, it’s just a divine split that can be discarded at any time, so there’s no worry.
"The first step is to find a way to make substantial contact with this fragment."
Although the invisible fragment surrounded Li Fan, neither touching nor using divine sense allowed him to truly touch the fragment itself. Even Li Fan, using the techniques from the Alchemy Emperor’s Classic, placed it in a grand melting furnace, yet he still couldn’t sense its existence.
"Those equal in nature to the Mountain and Sea can only see, touch, and comprehend it when their bodies align with the Mountain and Sea."
Li Fan suddenly recalled his past life experiences when he comprehended the Eternal Life Path.
As the true disciple of the Lord Guardian Hill’s Bearing the Dao, endless cultivation for billions of years still couldn’t surpass the insights Li Fan gained effortlessly in an instant. This was because he possessed Hai Zhen, which, to some extent, aligned him with the Mountain and Sea.
"Although Hai Zhen is currently dormant, I can still use some True and False Changes to barely match the Mountain and Sea."
"However, the information of this fragment is unclear. If I act recklessly, I might repeat past disasters, recreating the calamity of the Three Paths..."
After pondering, Li Fan had an idea in his mind.
"Why not borrow the Eternal Life Path from the Lord Guardian Hill once more?"
Through years of discussions with Bearing the Dao, Li Fan also roundaboutly confirmed that the Lord Guardian Hill was indeed in the Realm of Eternal Silence. Even if he sensed the remaining power of immortality in Li Fan’s body, the Lord Guardian Hill wouldn’t return immediately.
"Moreover, according to Bearing the Dao, the Mountain and Sea is boundless, and perhaps many have obtained the Longevity seed of Lord Guardian Hill. It could be that Lord Guardian Hill even hopes that someone who can truly inherit his mantle appears in this Mountain and Sea. Only then could he go to the more ancient Mountain and Sea without any worries."
After thinking it through, Li Fan had no more concerns in his heart.
After a brief communication with his true self, a sudden surge of vitality inexplicably emerged from within him. The previously solid body, due to devouring the potential of a trash mountain, now became indistinguishable from his real body due to the presence of the Power of Immortality.
Li Fan could hardly discern the difference between his current self and his true self.
He adjusted his body position, allowing the surrounding invisible fragment to come before him. Li Fan spat out a mouthful of blood, which contained boundless vitality. Like the rushing waters of a great river, it submerged the fragment.
Sure enough, the invisible fragment that showed no reaction to any external existence finally began to change upon contact with the Power of Immortality.
In the fragment, countless lines appeared suddenly, resembling mirrors.
Each mirror reflected the continuous landscapes of the Mountain and Sea.
However, what shocked Li Fan was that the mountains and sea in the mirror were not one!
Or rather, the fusion of mountains and sea hasn’t yet reached the current degree.
Now the Mountain and Sea are inseparable, with you in me and me in you.
But the Mountain and Sea in the fragment’s mirror were merely entwined!
The boundaries between the Mountain and Sea were still very clear.
Li Fan could even clearly see the infinite possibilities at the edge of the Infinite Sea. They crashed against the Upper Mountain Sea, turning into a fine spray!
"This is the state depicted in the Mountain and Sea Fables when the Mountain and Sea first began to merge!"
Li Fan felt a tug in his heart and tried to see more clearly.
However, as the Power of Immortality he released gradually dissipated,
the fragment also returned to its normal state.
