According to common sense, with the power displayed by the green fragment in the picture, the aging Lord Shouqiu should be absolutely inaccessible.
Even whether Duke Shouqiu could survive in the infinite sea at that time is still a big question mark.
But maybe it was the green fragment's own choice, or destiny.
Anyway, Duke Shouqiu came to the fragment safely.
The fragments shone brightly on the infinite sea floor, temporarily freezing the surrounding turbulent whirlpools. Therefore, Lord Shouqiu was able to pass through numerous obstacles and touch the green fragments.
Then, although the whirlpool calmed down and stopped again. It even became more turbulent and roaring, but it could no longer do anything to the Lord Shouqiu who was surrounded by vitality.
No matter how time passes and the great ways of the world arise and die, they will not be able to affect Shouqiu Gong holding the [Immortality] in the slightest.
This is true immortality!
If you find this way, you can cross the mountains and seas without worries forever.
The gray beard and hair turned black again, and all the aging and decay on his body disappeared. Duke Shouqiu, who had regained his youth, stepped slowly and walked out of the depths of the infinite sea without any pressure. Wherever he passed,
The solid green light condenses into a road across the mountains and sea.
Even if the mountains are roaring, the tsunami is roaring, and the wind is raging, this road to eternal life will always be treated as if it is nothing.
When Duke Shouqiu returned from the Infinite Sea, the endless green light on the road to immortality also disintegrated and spread across the sky.
Many of them were swallowed up by the waves and entered the endless possibilities nurtured in the infinite sea. But Lord Shouqiu didn't care at all.
Returning to the mountain and seaside, he stayed at the familiar place he had stayed at for almost half his life. As usual, Lord Shou Qiu sat cross-legged, guarding the hill and looking at the sea.
as always.
…
When Li Fan was immersed in the pictures of that year, Chengdao's voice also came to his ears.
"Master is the true master of [Immortality]. However, he has no intention of monopolizing it and is willing to share it with me. Because of this, the infinite attribute of immortality."
"Just like the mountains and seas are infinite, those who live forever can have endless lifespan. Even if they share all the living things in the world, what each person can get is infinite."
"The way to ascend to immortality is to connect the mountains and seas. And this magical method of immortality is to connect to immortality!"
"It is said: Mountains and seas carry things, and lone stars appear. The heaven and earth have their beginnings, and immortality is prosperous. All realms are spread out, and all spirits and gods are present. Once you have synesthesia, you can seek the truth to perfection. Everything you think will be answered, and everything you think will come true..."
Li Fan held his breath and concentrated his attention as never before. He kept Chengdao's words in mind, and kept thinking about it over and over again.
On the surface, it seems that this is not just a simple description of magical powers. Rather, it seems like a poem, which was composed and sung by the Lord Shou Qiu when he was guarding the hills by the mountains and seas.
The vicissitudes of ancient sounds crossed mountains and seas, penetrated time, and fell into Li Fan's ears at this moment.
With the help of Duke Shouqiu's eyes, Li Fan seemed to see the changes of time in the boundless mountains and seas. The passage of time in the phantom seemed real. Li Fan could vaguely feel its erosion on himself.
But Shouqiu's song of immortality firmly protected him and protected Li Fan from the pain of the passage of time.
One movement and one stillness, one life is destroyed, and eternity is annihilated...
All these differences made Li Fan vaguely realize what immortality is.
"The ocean is infinite. The mountains are powerful."
"There is also truth and longevity."
"It seems that each of these creations at the level of mountains and seas represents its own supreme power. The mountains above can create true immortals in the world. And the infinite sea can make true immortals leap in strength and obtain infinite attributes."
"I'm really..."
"In the blink of an eye, mountains and seas can be overthrown and returned to the past. When the truth is false, the false is also true. Everything may be like a dream, or it may become real in a single thought."
Li Fan couldn't help but recall every bit of his use of [Huan Zhen]. Every time he understood the truth and falsehood, it was like the process of connecting mountains and returning to the sea, opening mountains and seas, and creating the fairyland.
"Actually, the principles are the same. They all create a path from scratch. It's just that the cultivation of immortality, immortality, and truth... the final destinations reached by these three paths are different."
Li Fan combined his own experiences to figure out the longevity poems left by Shou Qiu Gong.
He was pleasantly surprised to find that perhaps the truth was just as he had guessed. There were many similarities between the three principles. He had already traveled a long distance on both roads.
At this moment, Li Fan entered the third avenue again. After thinking about it for a while, he became familiar with it.
Then, in Chengdao's extremely shocked eyes, a burst of green pillars suddenly emerged from Li Fan's body.
The vigorous vitality that broke out in it was billions of times that accumulated within the high wall for nearly a hundred years. In just a few breaths, life and death were reversed. The darkest star sea, which was originally dead and silent, with only the Xuanhuang Realm and the prehistoric fairy world covered with life, became no longer
Dark. But full of light.
Any creature that catches a glimpse of this green light will have its lifespan increased by at least ten times. And those creatures who are lucky enough to absorb the few fragments after the green light beam disintegrates have become the so-called immortal species in the world.
It has the same lifespan as heaven and earth, and will be immortal for all eternity.
As for Li Fan...
It looks peaceful on the surface.
But staring at the Huanzhen panel, my heart was filled with huge waves.
The age numbers that were originally like a countdown to the end of the world have now disappeared.
It just turned into an extremely strange green symbol.
It resembles a incomplete corner of something, but it has its own complete characteristics. Although this symbol seems to have only a few strokes, Li Fan can't see it completely.
Just the thought of seeing it clearly came up in my mind, and I felt dizzy. It was as if I had been drinking for three days and three nights, and my stomach and soul were all turned upside down.
Li Fan was forced to suppress the idea of finding out.
However, this feeling of discomfort was not what surprised Li Fan the most. What really made him think a lot was the instability and changing state of the green symbol.
That's right, this green longevity symbol is not permanently displayed on the real panel. It is just interlaced with the original age number.
Either one is true.
None of which is true.
"Could it be that the real owner of [Immortal Life] is not me, but Lord Shouqiu. I only touched the threshold of immortality through a path left by Lord Shouqiu after he walked.
Once Lord Shouqiu chooses to close this passage, I will lose the ability to live forever."
"It's like the original bone once followed me to sneak away and returned to the anchor point. Although it has also experienced changes in true and false, it is based on my control of everything. In the next life, the original bone will also
It was refined into a Heavenly Pillar, but it did not truly obtain the [Real True] great power..."
"Gong Shouqiu can share [Immortal Life] with others at will, but I cannot teach anyone the true and false magical powers. This seems to mean that he has completely mastered the [Dao of Immortality]. But I have not truly mastered the truth."
…
In an instant, Li Fan's mind was flooded with thousands of thoughts, completely occupying his mind.
So much so that he didn't even have time to fully appreciate the true taste of immortality.
Immediately afterwards, a sense of crisis surged into Li Fan's heart for no reason.
The feeling of being watched by the Great Sage of the Graveyard emerged again. This time, although the feeling was a little lighter, the crisis that instinctively surged in my heart was even worse.
Li Fan knew in his heart that after he truly came into contact with the Avenue of Immortality through the magical method left by Shouqiu Gong, even if there was an illusory and real blessing, he could not stop the induction of the master of the Avenue of Immortality.
But perhaps it was because Duke Shouqiu himself was not in the world of mountains and seas. Although he sensed the sudden intruder Li Fan, Duke Shouqiu did not come immediately.
However, Li Fan had a premonition. Once Shouqiu Gong returns to Shanhai, the first thing he will probably do is come to Li Fan and take a look at the details of this man who suddenly became immortal.
"It seems that I can't stay longer in this life." Li Fan sighed in his heart.
At the beginning of his practice and comprehension of this immortal poem, Li Fan already had a premonition that what he would do next would surely alarm Lord Shouqiu.
But he still did it.
After all, the road to immortality is just around the corner. How many people can resist the temptation?
What's more, Li Fan really knows everything. He has the confidence to experience it once and then run away immediately.
Lord Shouqiu will return and arrive at any time. At this moment, Li Fan is sitting on pins and needles.
But he did not choose to leave immediately.
Instead, seize this last moment and continue to savor the path to immortality in yourself.
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, there's nothing surprising about it."
"It's nothing more than the two words [immortality]. But because it is simple, it is the most holy. Just like [return to truth], the change between true and false can show that everything in the world is ignored. This simple word "immortality" can also ignore everything in the world.
Disaster."
"Although I don't have the full power of immortality, I still have the confidence to float through the catastrophe of Taoism and not perish. What's more, the Lord of Immortality is Lord Shouqiu."
In a sense, Li Fan, who has been blessed with immortality, already has the conditions to become a transcendent and strong man. However, it comes from gifts from others rather than his own practice.
Shouqiu takes back the creation, or closes the channel to prevent sharing with others. Then Li Fan will be knocked back to his original form in an instant.
Even though he knew that the immortality in his hands was temporary, Li Fan was unwilling to let go in a short period of time.
Just like the older you are, the more you fear death. The true owner is more afraid of losing.
He holds a thousand kilograms of weight in his hand, but he is reluctant to let it go.
Li Fan was so hungry that he seized every last moment to understand the path to immortality.
He was so calm. But Chengdao, who taught him the magic method, didn't seem so calm.
As if his energy had been drained, Chengdao stared blankly at Li Fan, who had suddenly become enlightened, and hesitated several times.
Extremely devastated.
Even the nourishment of immortality could not drive away the decline that emerged from within.
After a long time, Chengdao finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked aloud: "Junior brother...are you enlightened?"
Li Fan nodded slightly: "I would also like to thank senior brother for the pointers. I did understand something."
The only luck left in my heart was completely shattered. With Chengdao's faith, I couldn't help but feel stunned. It was even difficult to understand, and I started to feel sorry for myself: "I have been walking on this road for countless years, but I have only vaguely seen the real world.
The shadow of eternity.”
"Junior brother, you have been feeling uneasy lately. It's probably because you can't see the hope of transcendence and you are trapped in worries about your life. That's why I'm teaching the Dharma to you."
"But I don't want to..."
Chengdao smiled bitterly three times in a row: "You, who are just starting out, not only overtook me in an instant, but you even stood at the finish line?"
He looked blankly towards the sky: "Master, is it your preference or the disciple's stupidity?"
Although in this life, the relationship between the two was real brothers and pretended to be brothers. However, Chengdao did several things and left a very good impression on Li Fan.
Seeing his confusion at this moment, Li Fan didn't forget to express his condolences while comprehending the path to immortality.
"Senior brother, there is no need to be depressed. In my opinion, it is not a good thing that this road is going too fast."
"I don't know why, but this road and I are very compatible. It's not like walking step by step at all. It's a leap directly from the starting point to the end. It's as fast as it is, but it doesn't leave any mark of its own. If one day, Master
If he cuts off the passage, I will fall from the top of the sky in an instant. I am afraid that not even a tiny bit of immortality will be left behind."
"But senior brother, you are different."
"First of all, you are practicing the method of [Inheriting the Tao]. Following step by step is exactly in line with your path. Secondly, this is a road that you have personally walked slowly over the long years.
.are covered with your footprints. Even if one day, Master really cuts off the road, relying on the footprints you left, you can still retain some of the power of immortality to a certain extent. Not to mention being with the mountains and seas. Comparable.
It’s not difficult to be detached.”
…
Li Fan slowly warned.
At this moment, it seems that the identity swap has been completed. Li Fan is the senior who has been enlightened for a long time, while Chengdao is the senior who has just embarked on the path of spiritual practice.
Chengdao thought about it for a long time, and then realized that what Li Fan said was true.
I felt much better immediately.
However, the depression in my heart cannot be eliminated in a short time. I couldn't help but laugh at myself: "In my opinion, junior brother, you are the real disciple of Shouqiu. And I am just a bit lucky, just a rock on the mountain and sea."
Li Fan smiled bitterly and said nothing more.
Envy was envy, but Chengdao didn't feel even the slightest bit jealous in his heart.
After a few days, after the mentality adjusted, the atmosphere of communication between the two changed back to what it was in the past.
But now, the one who often gives guidance has been transformed into Li Fan.
But the listener has become a follower of the Tao.
Chengdao did not feel ashamed or unhappy because of this.
With the teachings of Li Fan, a forerunner and a person who has reached the end, his understanding of the creation of immortality is also advancing rapidly.
And the depth of the foundation is far beyond what Li Fan can match.
Li Fan was not fooled by his stunning performance once he became enlightened.
He knew in his heart that the reason why his enlightenment was so smooth was definitely related to it.
"Either, it's to give Hua Zhen some face."
"Either, they sensed the strangeness of me as the Lord of Truth, and deliberately let him go to leave a mark."
"No matter what the reason is, my current situation is very dangerous."
