Chapter 2040: Chapter 1584: Traverse the World Approaching Perfection
“The fusion consciousness of the Immortal Boat Ancestral Realm is extremely exclusive, and it contains Dao Annihilation. If one forcibly probes, this consciousness will self-destruct. Not only will you gain nothing, but it will also invite Dao Annihilation once again. Only by using this method can the mysteries within be explored.”
Having delved into the Immortal Boat Ancestral Realm for twenty years, yet only two months passed outside. Li Fan deemed the secrets exchanged here as worthwhile.
In his state of the womb’s mystery, Li Fan might still need to exert some effort to comprehend the scene before him. However, with his true consciousness awakened, he was able to instantly discern the greatest secret of this location.
“Dao Annihilation is uncontrollable. Even a tiny bit manifesting in the world can cause world-shattering disturbances, like unending wave surges. Yet here, Dao Annihilation is so calm. Unbelievable…”
If the Dao Annihilation Li Fan previously saw was like the turbulent waves by the sea, then within this Immortal Boat Ancestral Realm, the Dao Annihilation around which countless cultivator consciousnesses formed into rings, was like an extremely tranquil pond.
“The fusion consciousness of the Immortal Boat Ancestral Realm, rather than being a dike high wall, serves as steps outside the pond. It shouldn’t have the ability to resist Dao Annihilation. Yet…”
Li Fan found an empty spot and sat cross-legged like the other cultivators.
The originally pitch-black space became bright in an instant. The thoughts and innermost voices of all the cultivators present resounded continuously and clearly. Wherever the mind reached, it could be observed.
And above the gathered Dao Annihilation, thousands of floating light points of different colors appeared!
These reflected a different vitality upon the originally dead silent calamity of Dao Annihilation.
Li Fan’s divine sense connected with these points of light floating above Dao Annihilation and, in a trance, saw countless worlds being created and destroyed.
Suddenly, he realized.
“The nature of Dao Annihilation does not change. The reason it does not exhibit violent turbulence is because the contact between Dao Annihilation and the entire Immortal Boat Ancestral Realm has been differentiated into countless Small Worlds.”
“Though seemingly illusory, they are made concrete from the exceptional talents’ consciousness here. In a certain sense, no different from the real world. Targets fabricated in the Void, deliberately allowing Dao Annihilation to engulf them. Fragmented into countless parts, dispersing the impact when Dao Annihilation spreads.”
The survival strategy crafted over a million years in the Immortal Boat Ancestral Realm, costing countless generations’ efforts, Li Fan understood in an instant.
“Xuanhuang Immortal Realm can learn from this as well.”
“With this protective strategy, the impact when colliding with the Mountain Sea will be greatly reduced in the future. There will also be more confidence in smoothly crossing the Mountain Sea.”
“However, these worlds used as buffers, transformed into consciousness, are destined sacrifices. I cannot be part of it. And with the scale of the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm, the worlds needed are a thousand times that of the Immortal Boat Ancestral Realm. Starting from scratch would take too long…”
Moved by a thought, Li Fan decided: “Let it be my great mercy to save you from this endless Reincarnation Nightmare!”
In the fusion consciousness space, his body suddenly emitted an infinite light. At the same time thoroughly illuminating this ghostly place, it also attracted the attention of all the figures present.
They fixed their eyes and saw a magnificent world looming in the light.
Four Heavenly Gates stood towering in the sky. The cultivators appeared as stars, adorning the Void. On the vast earth, a scene full of vitality was unfolding.
Compared to this majestic world, their world suddenly dimmed.
“To be born in this realm, how fortunate!” The thought, once born, spread like a virus, instantly infecting all the cultivators here.
They stared fixedly at the image of the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm above Li Fan’s head, even momentarily forgetting to focus on the central Dao Annihilation.
As if sensing their inner desire, though clearly an illusory vision, suddenly a light ring resembling a door appeared from within.
Leading the charge, Li Fan flew into it.
After a twist of light and shadow, he actually entered that grand Immortal Realm!
The spectacle shook everyone’s hearts instantly.
“What… exactly is going on?”
Yet before the heart could question, inciting thoughts like “How fortunate,” “This is a God-given opportunity to attain enlightenment,” “Missing it will bring a lifetime of regret,” “The example is right before us, no need to hesitate anymore” swept the crowd like a storm.
Immediately, one-tenth of the figures, in a trance, followed Li Fan into the light and shadows.
“No, small…” Someone sensed the danger and tried to warn. Yet, at the moment of speaking, their expression changed sharply, as if replaced by another person, and they also slowly walked into the illusory passage.
Even though this was the essence of the Immortal Boat Ancestral Realm’s million-year inheritance, it could not withstand the incitement of a strongman like Li Fan.
In a few breaths, a large part of the cultivators in the fusion consciousness had been forcibly taken by Li Fan.
The ones still struggling, Li Fan did not intend to leave behind. Personally, he brought each of them into the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm.
Without these prodigies maintaining the consciousness world, serving as sandbags against Dao Annihilation, the Dao Annihilation, which was as calm as a pond, boiled violently.
The Immortal Boat Ancestral Realm quickly fell into a precarious state.
The Xuanhuang light and shadow manifesting from Li Fan expanded rapidly. It enveloped the entire Immortal Boat Ancestral Realm within.
Before the out-of-control Dao Annihilation could completely devour the Immortal Boat Ancestral Realm, he transferred all of them to the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm.
In the Rotten Stump Dojo, the cube space representing the Immortal Boat Ancestral Realm thus became utterly dead and pitch-black, with no longer any gleaming life or light.
Meanwhile, in the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm, there was an additional group of foreign residents.
