Chapter 1321: The Mystery of the Dharma

As expected, it is the secret library of the Xuan Shang Immortal Boat that has been passed down from ancient times to the present day. There are indeed many good things in the Baiwen Xianlu.

As the only surviving place in the Dark Star Sea, Xuanhuang Realm can be said to have accumulated the essence of the entire star sea. And Li Fan has reincarnated for hundreds of times, and it can be said that he has turned Xuanhuang Realm upside down. Ordinary hidden treasures are naturally very difficult for him to catch the eye.

But while strolling here, Li Fan still saw many objects that interested him.

For example: a crane that looks like it was made of bronze. According to the information in the Baiwen Xianlu, this bronze crane was actually made of many fragments of immortal artifacts. Although it does not have the power of an immortal artifact, it is extremely hard because of its own material. All kinds of magical powers and spells cannot damage it in the slightest. Not to mention that it is indestructible, at least the disaster that destroyed the Dark Star Sea could not cause any damage to it.

"Due to the limitations of mundane materials, the Tianyang Immortal Puppets refined in previous lives, even with the addition of source power essence, still could not break the limits of mortals. Being able to delay the transmission of the law for a period of time already shows that Tianyang has a firm will to fight. However, if this thing is mixed in the smelting process..." Li Fan's thoughts flashed through his mind.

Another example: a stream of seven-colored light. It looks very similar to the [Seven-colored Jade Void Gilded Light] that Zhong Shentong caught in the fishing pond. However, the Seven-colored Jade Void Gilded Light was collected and refined by the great supernatural cultivator [Chongyan] from the seven gilded lights that illuminate the world. It is the evolution of the way of heaven and contains the origin of the world. The stream of light in the Baiwen Xianlu is the remnant of an unknown immortal world after the natural end of the world. It can be regarded as the corpse of the immortal world.

Li Fan had personally practiced the Seven-Colored Jade Void Gilded Light. In his perception, although the two kinds of Seven-Colored Gilded Light were not the same in nature, they were vaguely connected.

"Perhaps it involves the evolution of the world from death to life..." Li Fan, who had already claimed the fishing pond as his own in this life, naturally came up with the idea of ​​collecting the two kinds of colorful lights and making a detailed comparison.

Another example: a figurine standing with bare hands and drooping eyelids. It was accidentally found by Xuan Shang Xian Zhou, and no matter how much research was done, its function could not be figured out. So it was placed in the secret library and was gradually forgotten by the world. When Li Fan passed by this figurine, he clearly sensed the slightest movement from [Huan Zhen]. Although it was not as exciting as meeting the Eternal Reminiscence, the fact that it could cause [Huan Zhen]'s reaction was enough to show that this figurine was extraordinary.

"It should also be related to the [Projection of Tao]." Li Fan remained calm and did not linger on the figurines for long.

……

Li Fan patiently selected from the Xianzhou secret library, and three elders of the Xianzhou were always by his side.

They didn't disturb him, but just kept silent and watched Li Fan's every move.

"It seems that the thieves back then really caused heavy losses to the Immortal Boat. Even with the insurance of [Broken Immortal Arm], fellow Taoists are still worried." Li Fan suddenly stopped and joked.

Gan Jingda, Nangong Lie and Lu Yuzhi looked at their noses and pretended not to hear anything.

"I wonder what was lost in the fairy boat back then?" Li Fan asked casually as he continued his treasure hunt.

"Hmph..." Upon hearing this, the Xianzhou elders showed resentment on their faces.

Zhong Daogong's voice came from afar: "The past is hard to recall. But after all, it has been so many years. If you are interested, it's okay to tell you."

"Among the several treasures lost from the Immortal Boat back then, the most precious one was the [Ice Crystal Immortal Amber]." Zhong Daogong's tone was somewhat nostalgic.

Seeing Daosheng, the chief of Duanxian Tower, seemed to be an eyewitness of the incident. He suddenly sighed: "Even now, the dreamy and blurred appearance of [Ice Crystal Fairy Amber] will appear in my mind from time to time. I only regret that I was not tough enough to stop it back then. It led to a tragedy."

The other elders also sighed.

Li Fan asked curiously, "Ice Crystal Fairy Amber? The name does sound beautiful. But what exactly is this thing?"

Zhong Daogong: "Ice Crystal Fairy Amber is actually a frozen world of immortal cultivation. The origin of this object is related to an extremely rare astronomical phenomenon in the ancient times."

Li Fan's face showed more curiosity, and he asked humbly, "I'd like to hear more details."

"The starry sea at that time was not as dead and silent as it is now. In addition to the countless immortal cultivation worlds full of vitality and various scenes, there were also many strange phenomena in the starry sea that appeared from time to time."

"Sky whales leap, star horses run, yin and yang swirl..."

"When these phenomena erupt, they often cover an entire star field and affect dozens of immortal cultivation worlds. Some simply manifest strange phenomena on the world's sky, while others will cause a world-destroying disaster to the immortal cultivation world!"

"【Brilliant Crystal Wind】 is one of them."

"An icy wind suddenly descended from nowhere. It blew from the starry sky to the earth. Wherever the cold wind passed, all the spirits, the Tao, and immortality did not even have the slightest reaction time and were frozen in an instant. All living things in the world, and even the world itself, were turned into ice sculptures under the blowing of the crystal wind." Zhong Daogong lightly tapped his finger, and the horrifying scene of the cold wind and ice world appeared above the secret vault of the immortal boat.

"The Immortal Cultivation World was frozen in ice, and has remained lonely in the sea of ​​stars ever since. It will never thaw. Any creature that tries to get close will be affected by the absolute cold, and will either be seriously injured and flee, or be turned into an ice sculpture forever."

Li Fan looked at the picture above and frowned slightly: "I understand the meaning of this ice crystal. But what does the word [Xianbai] mean?"

Daosheng explained Li Fan's doubts: "If it was just a frozen world, it would not be regarded as a treasure by Xuanshang Xianzhou. In fact, although the probability of [Brilliant Crystal Wind] occurring is small, with the vastness of the starry sea and the accumulation of tens of thousands of years..."

"The number of world ice sculptures in existence is not particularly small."

“The reason why the piece collected by Xianzhou back then was so valuable was because there was a very special existence in the frozen world of immortal cultivation.” Jian Daosheng’s tone was dazed, as if he had returned to the past.

"【Brilliant Crystal Wind】, blew down from the starry sky. The world should have turned into an ice sculpture in an instant. However, an illusory figure appeared in that world, trying to block the icy wind..."

"However, how can ordinary cultivators stop the strange phenomenon in the sea of ​​stars? It is said that when the strange phenomenon in the sea of ​​stars erupted most violently, even the true immortals had to retreat. Not to mention ordinary cultivators like us."

"So the result is obvious. Saving the world is nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and it is self-destruction. But, after all, it has blocked a little bit... The world is no longer frozen in an instant, but it gives the creatures in it a split second to react."

Jian Daosheng sighed, "It is this instantaneous change that creates a completely unique ice sculpture. In the face of the world-destroying disaster, the expressions of the creatures are different. Some are terrified, some are desperate, some see that figure and feel hope, and some are incredulous... It really illustrates what it means to be a living being of all kinds."

"If it is only here, it is at most a rare frozen world. It is not worthy of our Immortal Boat to obtain the word "Immortal Amber" for it."

Jian Daosheng continued, "The reason why it is named [Xian] is because of the illusory figure that tried to block the [Brilliant Crystal Wind]."

Hearing this, Li Fan couldn't help but guess: "Could it be that there is really a true immortal sealed in that frozen world?"

Jian Daosheng shook his head and said, "That's not the case. If there is a true immortal sealed, I'm afraid our immortal boat would not dare to keep it on the ship. But, judging from the value alone, that figure may be more precious than a true immortal. After all, before the immortal road was cut off, there were people in all walks of life who ascended to become immortals."

"But the materialized [Inner Demon] is truly unprecedented and rare throughout history!"

Li Fan narrowed his eyes when he heard this: "Inner demon? Materialized?"

In the previous life, when possessing Zhao Xian to practice, Li Fan had already experienced the process of being disturbed by the demon in the center of the sea of ​​stars. As long as the practice does not stop, the demon will accompany the entire practice life, and it will not stop. Even if it is forcibly suppressed with the help of external forces, it will come back soon and become more and more intense. In the previous life, Zhao Xian was unable to get rid of the interference of the demon in his heart, and his realm improvement was affected. That's why the impatient Li Fan directly took over his body with the Daodan technique.

This is still the inner demon caused by the broken laws of the sea of ​​stars.

Even if it is reduced several times, it can still have such a great impact on the practice of cultivators. It is conceivable how terrifying the inner demon will be when the ancient star sea laws are complete.

No wonder the ancient cultivators were all terrified when talking about their inner demons and everyone tried to avoid them.

However, what Li Fan experienced through Zhao Xian's body were only the various illusions that burst out from his heart. He did not see the real source of the illusions.

"The inner demon should be some kind of law. How can it have a physical body?" Li Fan looked amazed and incredulous.

"This is why the [Ice Crystal Fairy Amber] is so precious. If you don't see it with your own eyes, no one can imagine that such a rare thing actually exists in this world."

"After collecting this ice crystal fairy amber, the Immortal Boat discussed it for decades. Finally, the identity of the shadowy demon in the ice crystal world was confirmed. It is speculated that this demon is derived from the magic law of the mind in another world of immortal cultivation. But no one knows why it left its original world and suffered an unexpected disaster."

Zhong Daogong suddenly spoke up again: "In fact, Xianzhou has also made reasonable guesses about this. The inner demon is invisible and intangible, not bound by space, and can travel through the sea of ​​stars at will. It has no physical troubles and can even appear directly in the mind of the cultivator. There are many cultivators who have been affected by the inner demon and have become mentally confused, as if they have become a different person. The invasion of the inner demon can be regarded as the most superior form of possession."

"Although this materialized inner demon is very special, it still cannot escape the characteristics of the inner demon itself. It is his instinct to travel through the starry sea and find a suitable host to parasitize. Perhaps this is why he appeared in that frozen world."

"In fact, with the strength of power it displayed when the world was frozen, it is not just the cultivators. Even if it is the world's heavenly consciousness, this materialized inner demon has the power to corrode it."

"It can deceive the heavens of other worlds and replace them. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a [Demon].

……

Zhong Daogong spoke eloquently, and his words contained regret for losing the treasure.

Li Fan's heart was slightly moved.

The scene from the previous life emerged in his mind. Under the immortal formation's world-destroying storm, the body of the Dharma transmitter gradually dissolved, revealing a transparent figure inside.

The moment Li Fan saw this transparent figure, a faint sense of familiarity came to his heart.

It’s not that Li Fan had ever seen this transparent figure before.

Instead, it was the aura of the "same kind" as the transparent figure that he had come into contact with.

The sense of familiarity comes from Tianjue, Tianyu, Tianyin and Tianyi.

Or...

From the heavenly realm.

"Devil..."

Li Fan might know the reason why he sneaked into this place to spread the Dharma.

"The Heavenly Demon is also a member of the Heavenly Dharma Realm Venerable?"

"The venerable Heavenly Dharma Realm upholds the Way on behalf of Heaven. The Heavenly Demon is the manifestation of the inner demon."

"However, due to its own characteristics, the demon wandered in the sea of ​​stars and was not in the heavenly realm for most of the year. It was even unlucky and encountered an extremely rare astral phenomenon, suffering the fate of being frozen forever."

“If it hadn’t been rescued by Chuan Fa later, it would have been frozen forever and become a collection of the Immortal Boat.”

"But why did we have to pass on the Dharma to save the demons? And even ended up being corrupted by the demons?"

The figure of the Heavenly Doctor suddenly appeared in front of Li Fan.

Judging from the behavior between the two of them in the previous life, the transmission of the Dharma was obviously under the control of Tianyi.

Previously, Li Fan had guessed that the one who passed on the Dharma was a clone created by the Heavenly Doctor.

But now it seems that the relationship between the two may not be that simple.

"Transmit the Dharma, Xuanyuan Goudan. Perhaps he is the reincarnation of King Xuantian..."

"In the first half of my life, I was a mortal. Suddenly I awakened, as if some kind of consciousness had traveled through time and possessed me." Li Fan narrowed his eyes.

……

"No matter what, now we finally know why the Dharma Transmission is under the control of the Heavenly Doctor. It is the [Heavenly Demon] deep in his soul that is causing trouble."

Li Fan thought again that there was no such thing as inner demon in the Xuanhuang Realm today.

Perhaps it is not just because of the need to spread new Dharma.

With the existence of the materialized inner demon [Heavenly Demon], naturally no smaller inner demons will descend and interfere.

Li Fan's thoughts were churning. After listening to the stories of the elders of the Immortal Boat, he couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart: "So, it is indeed an extraordinary treasure. It was stolen by someone like this. It's really hateful."

"What does that thief look like? Is he still alive?" Li Fan asked.

"If there is enough information, we at Daqi may be able to help track down this thief."

Zhong Daogong raised his eyebrows and asked, "True Immortal Seal Characters?"

Li Fan shook his head: "No. It is a magical weapon that protects the world and combines the power of the formation. In short, it is so mysterious that I can't explain it in detail."

Although the words were vague, the power of "Fortune" previously demonstrated had fully proved the foundation of "Daqi" civilization. So Li Fan's words did not arouse suspicion from the immortal boat people.

After all, Li Fan didn't make any promises, he just said "maybe".

The elders of Xianzhou discussed it and in order not to arouse Li Fan's suspicion, they showed the appearance of the thief.

It is indeed the Heavenly Master who spreads the Dharma.

However, the recorded images left by the immortal boat are slightly different from the teachings seen in the previous life.

The expression is more vivid, as if they are two different people.
