Chapter 1689: Life Pivot Transformation
"I originally thought that the light was my destiny. But when it really stood in front of me, I realized..."

"You are the other person's destiny!"

Taiyi Shadow chuckled: "The flowing light seemed to feed on the Tao. It stood still, and I was attracted uncontrollably. It was as if I came from the flowing light. Can you understand how terrified I was at that time?"

The phantoms of the saints all nodded secretly.

"At that time, although I had not yet become a saint, my strength was close to the current transcendent state. However, under the overflowing light, my whole body seemed to be bound and I could not struggle. Like a desperate prey, I slowly fell."

"In the dreamlike glory, I was in a trance and saw thousands of empty paths. Some were vacant, some were restored, and some were completely wiped out. Only a few traces remained."

"All the paths are placed side by side in the magnificent palace."

"And above it, there is a shadow sitting."

"Like an emperor ruling the world, ignoring those below..."

Taiyi's phantom waved his hand, wanting to reproduce for the saints what he saw at that time.

However, the flash of light and shadow lasted only for a moment before disappearing like bubbles.

Even with the power of Taiyi's phantom, it was impossible to maintain or imitate the specific appearance in the flowing light!

Taiyi seemed to be used to it and stopped trying. He continued to describe, "When I suddenly saw this shocking scene, my body and thoughts seemed to be frozen, and I floated towards the position of [Taiyi] in the hall. At the same time, I realized that if I really fell into it, I would never get out again in my life. So I was alert in my heart and struggled hard..."

"But how can a worm in the net escape? In the end, it is getting closer and closer to Taiyi's position."

Although they already knew that Taiyi would be safe, they couldn't help but sweat when they recalled the thrilling scene. Just as they were waiting for the next words, Taiyi's shadow fell silent.

"What happened next? How did you escape?" It was still Bai Xiao who couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know about that." Tai Yi smiled suddenly.

The newly promoted saints were stunned.

However, the saints on the other side obviously knew it long ago and all shook their heads helplessly.

"It's not that I can't reveal it, but I was really confused and escaped from the Great Dao Hall. This has always been my biggest confusion. Until later, the mountains and seas took shape, the original fairyland fell apart, and I became a saint..."

“I never encountered that stream of light again.”

Taiyi said with some emotion, and looked at the saints in the field at the same time: "If one day, any of you encounter this stream of light again, why not help me ask what happened at the beginning. This will help me solve the confusion in my heart for countless years."

After finally listening to a very interesting story, it suddenly stopped in the middle, and there was not even a sequel. The saints were naturally depressed.

Bai Xiao hesitated to speak, and finally just coughed and said, "You have lived a long time, so you have seen more. None of us has seen any mysterious creatures, and I am afraid that even if we really encounter them, we will find it difficult to identify them."

"That won't happen. Just like this thing held in the hand of Life Pivot, even though it is invisible and formless, you can definitely feel its extraordinaryness." Taiyi Shadow said, pointing at the flashing memories of mountains and seas in the virtual world.

From this, Li Fan knew the identity of the mysterious figure who was sitting and weaving a web in the Xuanhuang Realm.

"From what Saint Lianshan said, it seems that he is an old acquaintance of this Life Pivot?"

"I was just a fellow traveler on my way to Shangfang Mountain. At that time, the situation of the mountains and seas was not yet determined, and countless heroes and geniuses wanted to lay a foundation for eternity. Naturally, I was not the only one who wanted to climb Shangfang Mountain."

"There are countless people who have climbed this mountain, but this Mingshu is the only one who can follow me closely. So I have a deep impression of him."

"only……"

"After all, I was one step ahead of him and stood on the top of the mountain. When I closed my eyes and meditated, I suddenly saw a look of fear on his face, as if he had foreseen something extremely terrifying. Then he gritted his teeth and fled, and disappeared without a trace. Since then, I have disappeared from the mountains and seas, and I have not seen him for many, many years." The voice of the Lianshan Saint was a little vague.

"Perhaps he thought that Saint Lord Lianshan would do that thing called "sitting on the mountain". He thought that he would be suppressed by someone for the rest of his life, so he fled in a hurry just now." Bai Xiao joked.

"That's what I thought at the time." Lian Shan said suddenly, and Bai Xiao's smile froze.

"Although the decision was made after careful consideration, I had not made a decision until the life pivot disappeared. It was his act of fleeing in terror that made me finally make the decision. Walk through the mountains, not sit on them."

There seems to be something unfinished in the words of the Lianshan Saint.

Li Fan and the other saints could naturally hear the hidden meaning.

It was probably because Lianshan, who had not yet attained enlightenment, was full of energy. He had not yet made a decision, and Mingshu saw this and hurriedly fled, so he could not help but think in his mind, "How could he look at me like this?" and "How could I be such a person?"

This influenced his decision at that time.

The newly promoted saints laughed inwardly. Invisibly, the image of this world's number one immortal in everyone's mind became more concrete. He was no longer the image of an eternally unfathomable strong man.

"So, the fate pivot was hopeless at first, so they looked for a way to reverse it. This dark creature was targeted by it. If it is really the one who came before the mountains and seas and the source of the god... maybe it can really change everything."

"I don't know what he is looking for. Judging from the joy on his face when he first entered, this might not be his first trap." Bai Xiao muttered to himself.

The saints remained silent, their gazes once again focused on the memories of the mountains and seas.

In the end, it was Shouqiu who spoke.

"The focus now is to reunite the mountains and the sea. As for the clues about the mysterious creation... when the mountains and the sea are successfully connected, maybe I can go to the scene in person and find out what's going on."

The saints nodded, then retracted their gazes, returning their eyes to the area seen by their own thoughts.

Li Fan secretly wrote down Shouqiu's words.

"The mountains and the sea are reunited, and everything between the mountains and the sea returns to its former state."

“But it is truly beyond the mountains and seas. Since it is already inside my body, it will naturally not appear out of thin air again.”

"I'm afraid the same is true for the Saint of Life."

"The so-called scene is nothing more than a trace that is more real than the phantom memory."

Li Fan was not worried about this.

"I just don't know whether the stream of light that Taiyi encountered at the beginning was real or not."

"The various Taoist temples he described are somewhat similar to [The Great Dao Returns to Truth]. But I can't be sure."

"If it weren't for Huan Zhen... are there other mysterious creatures between the mountains and the sea?"

Amidst his myriad thoughts, Li Fan's attention slowly returned to "Li Bufan".

Now that the location of the key memory nodes of Shanhai is clear, what Li Fan needs to do is to ensure that this illusory memory continues to flow in the same direction as before.

"If the life pivot is not here, I will be the life pivot."

"If the captured creature doesn't come, I will still create its own movements. It's just a play to deceive the mountains and seas that are changing from virtual to real."

"But how to perform this play requires careful consideration."

The first point is that you cannot rely on the saintly power of your true self other than the phantom.

Instead, it depends on the strength of this "Li Bufan" himself.

Otherwise, the phantom mountains and seas would surely sense that they were being manipulated by external forces.

“But the cultivation level is in the late stage of foundation building…” Li Fan frowned, then relaxed his brows.

"Fortunately, he also practiced the [Sitting Mountain Technique]."

It is still very different from the version obtained by He Zhenghao in later generations.

In later versions, although it is still called "sitting on a mountain", it is actually a sitting person.

After all, if you really want to find a mountain that can grow day by day and cultivate...

I'm afraid that before I find my target, I'll turn into dry bones first.

By supporting talented people and making good connections everywhere, the efficiency will not be particularly low if the net is cast widely.

But the most ancient version of the Sitting Mountain Technique of the Shenmu Sect is the real practice of sitting in the mountain!

Just because there is a sacred tree in the Shenmu Sect.

Li Fan checked the cultivation methods of the disciples of Shenmu Sect in Li Bufan’s memory.

The Shenmu Sect came from outer space and is the foundation of the Shenmu Sect.

It is rooted in the earth and provides shade for an area of ​​over 30,000 miles.

Wood rises and the earth grows.

The original location of the sacred tree was an endless plain.

But as the sacred tree rose from the ground, the plain has now turned into a continuous and majestic mountain range.

The sacred tree is situated on this mountain.

And as the sacred tree continued to grow, the mountain under Li Fan's feet continued to rise at an almost perceptible speed.

Those in the Shenmu Sect who practiced the Zushan Jue could sit still and their cultivation progress would be rapid.

The weaker the person, the better the effect.

After all, compared to the sacred trees, mountains and rivers, even if they increase by a little bit, for the beginner cultivators, it is an unimaginable huge force.

"Once you have mastered the Sitting Mountain Technique, you can switch to other techniques."

"With the help of the Divine Tree, the number of grassroots cultivators in the Divine Tree Sect is far ahead of other sects in the Xuanhuang Realm. They are everywhere!"

Li Fan looked around and found that under the shade of the sacred tree, almost every hilltop had a courtyard built, where monks lived.

"No wonder Ruomu wants to fight this sacred tree to death. At this rate, if it continues to grow, it will completely occupy the Xuanhuang Realm in tens of thousands of years."

"This sacred tree came from outer space. I don't know who planted it. It must be coveting the so-called opportunity..."

"It's a pity that it was cut off so roughly." Li Fan snorted in his heart.

"The battle between Shenmu and Ruomu should have been a stalemate. However, with Mingshu's secret attack, the Shenmu Sect was quickly defeated. The Musi Sect was destroyed..."

"This time, I will carry out the old affairs of Mingshu as a disciple of Shenmu Sect."

While thinking, Li Fan came to the outside of the courtyard, where the disciples originally practiced.

Standing on the open cliff, you can look up and see the sacred tree.

Li Fan sat cross-legged, feeling the rhythm and growth of the mountains and rivers below him, and silently practicing the Mountain Sitting Technique.

Sure enough, along with the inaudible sound of the mountain trembling, the mountain, while growing along with the sacred tree, also brought feedback to the cultivator sitting on it.

The mountains are so high that they are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

However, the feedback from the body's cultivation level is clear and visible.

Like a trickle of water, it steadily gathers together.

"This speed is naturally not comparable to the geniuses in the world. But it can definitely crush most of the cultivators. At least it is much faster than He Zhenghao's cultivation."

“If there really is a mountain, there is no need to sit on it, sit on it, sit on it, sit on it, sit on it, sit on it.”

"The original conception of this Mountain Sitting Technique coincides with the ultimate derivation of it. There is no change."

"It's just that this mountain is not that mountain anymore."

After experiencing it, Li Fan had many insights in his mind.

With the help of the sacred tree, the cultivation was fast, but it was still difficult to meet Li Fan's needs.

He had to improve the strength of the "Li Bufan" that he possessed as much as possible, and try his best to conceal it so that the Phantom Mountain and Sea would not notice it.

"You sit on the mountain, and I will sit on you."

Li Fan looked at the hundreds of thousands of disciples of Shenmu Sect in the mountains and rivers, and a plan came to his mind.

Next, Li Fan temporarily gave up his practice.

Instead, he spent a year traveling to all the mountains in Shenmu Sect.

What we do is simple.

Whenever you meet someone or go to a place, you must give them a gift.

It's not about how expensive a gift is, but about the gift itself.

As long as you accept Li Fan's "gift"...

Then we have formed a bond.

How much and when to pay it back.

It's not up to them to decide.

There were a few who were unwilling to accept it, but with Li Fan's methods, it didn't take much effort to make them owe Li Fan a share, either overtly or covertly.

As for the hundreds of thousands of gifts that Li Fan sent out, where did the money come from...

"You evil creature...you've squandered all our wealth in just one year!"

Li Bufan's biological parents were shocked and angry.

However, there was nothing he could do about Li Fan.

You can't really kill your only son, right?

Besides, he didn't use it on himself, but distributed it to the disciples of the sect.

Thanks to their behavior, Li Bufan's biological father and mother, the two elders of Shenmu Sect, became famous.

They can only sigh and try to accumulate some wealth.

And Li Fan...

At this moment, he came to the highest peak of Shenmu Sect, outside the sect's sacrificial hall.

Looking down, there are countless disciples of Shenmu.

"My debt, if not weighed, weighs less than 4 taels. If weighed, it weighs more than 1,000 jin..."

"After working hard for a year, it's time to collect some interest."

"Just think of it as a preview of my Holy Trial!"

The Zuotian Jue operates silently within the body.

boom……

All the disciples of Shenmu Sect who had received favors from Li Fan seemed to feel their bodies vibrating slightly at this moment, and the flow of spiritual energy in their dantian seemed to be much faster.

They didn't understand what was going on and thought it was the sacred tree appearing to speed up their cultivation.

They were all overjoyed.

However, they did not know that as the spiritual energy in their bodies circulated, almost half of their cultivation was taken away for every bit they gained.

Converged on Li Fan.

It's just that Li Fan used the Zuotian Jue to secretly urge a group of Shenmu disciples to temporarily increase their cultivation speed at the cost of their own lives.

Therefore, in general, their cultivation progress has increased instead of decreased.

Li Fan did all this in extreme secrecy.

The methods of a saint are naturally difficult for ordinary people to detect.

"Anyway, you will all die in the upcoming battle between Shenmu and Ruomu."

"Overdraft in advance will not affect the direction of the mountain and sea veins."

Feeling the feedback of his cultivation constantly gathering in his body, Li Fan nodded with satisfaction.

With the strength of one person, no matter how fast one practices.

How can it compare to the power of sitting on the sky!

However, three years later, Li Fan had already climbed from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Hedao Stage.

The limits of mortals!
