Chapter 2049: Chapter 1588: With the Wind, the Sail Unfurls (Part 2)
"Perhaps it’s because in the previous life, Zi Yi was there, and there were indeed some concerns. But now, this True Essence of Transcendence belongs solely to me."
"Moreover, Hai Zhen is still in a severe state of slumber from his wounds. He urgently needs this True Essence of Transcendence to heal."
Li Fan understood this in his heart, yet did not lose his composure.
Unhurriedly, he waited for the Dao Yi Bug to thoroughly digest and adapt to the Mountain Sea Ancient Object.
And during the waiting period, as the Xuanhuang Group of Immortals were cleaning and sweeping the Guangwu Star Sea battlefield, there were unexpected discoveries.
In addition to finding the Daoist Sword and Dao Blade seen in the previous life, they also discovered three other powerful Dao Treasures that had not been used in time.
They included a stone broken hand, a blood-stained, hole-riddled green robe, and a withered yellow branch.
All these were remnants from beyond Xuanhuang, the last surviving items of possibility in the Annihilation of Dao.
Li Fan, from these three items, glimpsed the extinguished paths of three possibilities.
However, when he glimpsed into the memory of Emperor Shu in the previous life, he had sighed deeply.
Having seen more now, he no longer found it strange.
Though these items were powerful, they were of no use to the current Li Fan. He threw them towards Xuanhuang Outer Heaven as a backup.
Once everything was prepared, Li Fan formally began the acquisition of the Mountain Sea Solitary Sail.
This True Essence of Transcendence, even Zi Yi personally took a trip to obtain in the previous life, indicating a certain value even to the Transcendent Strongman. Li Fan naturally handled it with extreme caution.
He sent away all the Xuanhuang Group Immortals, sending them back to the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm.
Li Fan, alone, faced the transcendent remains.
"Mo Sha!"
With a stir in his heart, Li Fan summoned the gloomy clouds of Mo Sha, rolling forth.
As if with the aura of Dao Annihilation, it instantly forced out the solitary suspended sail within the remains.
The solitary sail appeared, and the wind and waves calmed.
It was as if an invisible giant hand heavily pressed down on the gloomy clouds of Mo Sha. The originally turbulent boundless clouds completely calmed down.
Mo Sha naturally wanted to resist, but no matter how it rolled and unrolled, it couldn’t harm the solitary sail in the slightest.
At most, it made the solitary sail sway slightly.
Through Mo Sha’s perspective, Li Fan slowly observed the power of this Mountain Sea Solitary Sail.
"Though mountains and seas are far, I cross them with a solitary sail."
"Those who possess such ambition and perseverance are truly rare talents. It’s a pity that they died silently like this, between mountains and seas."
Unlike Zi Yi’s Path to the Heavens, the Mountain Sea Solitary Sail before him was not so domineering and exclusive.
The Path to the Heavens that Zi Yi exhibited was never accessible to outsiders without his permission. However, on this Mountain Sea Solitary Sail, Li Fan felt a sense of shared journey.
"If we chance upon each other between mountains and seas, my light boat will not capsize. Carrying you for a stretch poses no problem..."
A light chuckle seemed to echo in his ears, leaving Li Fan slightly stunned.
"This person, indeed has some heroism."
"Even I wouldn’t mind befriending him."
"It’s just a pity..."
"I don’t know how this person met his end."
A trace of doubt inadvertently arose in Li Fan’s heart.
The solitary sail wasn’t completely damaged.
It had enough remaining strength to resist Dao Annihilation. It shouldn’t have led to death.
"Dao Yi..."
To uncover this secret, it’s time for the Dao Yi Bug to make its entrance.
A familiar scene played out once more.
But this time, what eroded the transcendent remains wasn’t the Mountain Sea Ancient Object.
It was an endless swarm of insects!
The erosion by the Dao Yi Bug was even more efficient than the Mountain Sea Ancient Object.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
The whistling sound came, and Li Fan’s vision blurred, as if he had fallen onto a vast ocean.
Aside from this ocean, and a solitary boat.
There was nothing else.
Sometimes fierce winds blew around, sometimes it was calm, and other times torrential rains poured endlessly.
Yet the solitary boat remained incomparably stable, sailing forward.
"This is... the memory of the transcendent remains crossing mountains and seas before death."
Li Fan felt a stir in his heart and carefully observed.
The Great Ocean before him seemed endless.
The images in memory almost repeated themselves.
Each scene reflected the vast ocean.
The original owner of the solitary sail remained unfazed.
Instead, as a bystander, Li Fan slowly started to lose his composure.
For this crossing journey was seemingly too long.
-----------------
Very quickly, it was restored, sorry.
Without haste or delay, slowly waiting for the Dao Yi Bug to completely digest and adapt to the Mountain Sea Ancient Object.
And during the waiting period, when the Xuanhuang Group of Immortals cleared the Guangwu Star Sea battlefield, they also had unexpected gains.
Apart from finding the Daoist Sword and Dao Blade seen in the previous life, they also discovered three other powerful Dao Treasures that hadn’t been used in time.
They were a stone broken hand, a blood-stained, hole-riddled green robe, and a withered yellow branch.
All came from beyond the Xuanhuang, the last remnants of possibilities extinguished in the Dao Yin.
Li Fan glimpsed three possible paths of annihilation from these three items.
However, when glimpsing Emperor Shu’s memory in the past life, he had sighed.
Having seen so much now, he was no longer surprised.
Although these items were powerful, they were of no use to the current Li Fan. He tossed them towards the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven for backup.
After everything was prepared, Li Fan officially began the theft of the Mountain Sea Solitary Sail.
This True Essence of Transcendence, even in the previous life, Zi Yi personally went to obtain it. It indicates that even for Transcendent Strongmen, it holds some value. Naturally, Li Fan treated it with extreme caution.
He sent all the Xuanhuang Group Immortals back into the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm.
Li Fan faced the Transcendent vestiges alone.
"Mo Sha!"
Li Fan’s mind moved, and the Mo Sha dark cloud rolled in.
As if it were the aura of Dao Yin, it instantly forced the solitary sail inside the vestiges out.
The solitary sail appeared, and the wind was calm and waves were still.
It was as if an invisible giant hand weighed heavily on the Mo Sha dark cloud. The boundless dark cloud, which originally churned incessantly, calmed down completely.
Mo Sha naturally wanted to resist, but no matter how much it surged, it could not harm the solitary sail in the slightest.
At most, it caused the solitary sail to sway slightly.
From Mo Sha’s perspective, Li Fan slowly observed the power of the Ye Shanhai Solitary Sail.
"Though mountains and seas are far apart, I still cross with a single sail."
"Anyone with such ambition and perseverance is indeed an extraordinary talent. It’s a pity to die silently between mountains and seas."
Unlike Zi Yi’s Path to the Heavens, the Ye Shanhai Solitary Sail did not seem so domineering and exclusive.
The Path to the Heavens displayed by Zi Yi, without his permission, no one else could enter. But on this Mountain Sea Solitary Sail, Li Fan sensed a hint of a "joint carriage" intention.
"If by chance we meet in the mountains and seas, my little boat will not capsize. Carrying you for a journey is no matter..."
As if a light chuckle echoed in his ears, Li Fan was slightly dazed.
"This person, indeed has some grandeur."
"Even I wouldn’t mind befriending him."
"What a pity..."
"It’s unknown, how this person actually died."
A trace of doubt inevitably arose in Li Fan’s heart.
The solitary sail was not completely damaged.
There was enough strength to withstand Dao Yin. It shouldn’t have resulted in death.
"Dao Yi..."
To uncover this secret, it’s time for the Dao Yi Bug to make an appearance.
A familiar scene played out once more.
But this time, what eroded the Transcendent vestiges wasn’t the Mountain Sea Ancient Object.
It was an endless swarm of bugs!
The erosion by the Dao Yi Bug was even more efficient than the Mountain Sea Ancient Object.
Whizz, whizz, whizz...
A series of whistling sounds echoed, and Li Fan’s vision blurred, as if he had fallen into a vast ocean.
Besides this ocean, and a solitary boat.
Nothing else.
Around him, sometimes violent winds, sometimes calm, sometimes continuous rainstorms.
The solitary boat, however, always navigated forward steadily.
"This is... the memory of the Transcendent vestiges before crossing mountains and seas."
Li Fan’s mind stirred, and he carefully examined it.
The Great Ocean before him seemed endless.
The scenes in the memory repeat almost entirely.
It was all boundless views of the great ocean.
The original owner of the solitary sail, however, remained composed and unruffled.
On the contrary, Li Fan, the observer, slowly became somewhat impatient.
Because this crossing journey was unreasonably long.
